LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

ROME.

The Correspondence Bullier says that the French
government has received very important despatches
from Rome touching th, discoveries made after the
arrest of Venanri, the secretary general and keeper
of the rolls of the famous "National Committee."
It is asserted that among the papers seized is a
list of five thousand affiliated members of
the committee, together with the organic
statutes of the association. The members
are divided into centuries, each commanded by a
centurion. Every centurion has a special section
of Rome marked out for his administration, so that
in case of • revolution a word from the committee
would at once call into existence an organised
municipal government. It is also alleged that a
list of persons condemned to death or banishment
by the committee has been found, and that the
number is very considerable. The key of a corres-
pondence in cypher is said to have been discovered.

THE PRUSSIAN QUESTION.-ADDRESS OF
THE DEPUTIES TO THE PEOPLE.

The Notional Gazette contains the following
address, which is signed by several deputise who
belonged to the majority of the late chamber, and
is dated the 11th :
When we entered the Chamber of Deputies we resolved
to avoid with gnat can any prooesdinp which might lead
to divisions in the ranks of the lintel majority, or between
the representatives of the people mid the government of the
King ; but, faithful to the charge committed to us by the
Prussian pecple,we also determined to maintain the oonstitu-
tionl right of their repreeentativn, and to shriek from no
conflict in 'which we might be Involved on this head.
We believe that we have fulfilled this mission. The mode
in which the budget bas been framed hitherto rendered
nearly worthier the moot essential right of the repre-
@optative body—the right of agreeing to and watching
over the receipt& and expenses of the state ; for by the
custom of let* years and the view which the government
took, as indicated in the project of law on the Conn of
Accounts, the executive was only responsible to the
chamber in the employment of the public mousy under
general heads. But those heads ere so vast, and imbrue
so many objects in the most costly departmeate of
the administration, especially in the war budget, that
the chamber has namely any control over the expenditure.
la order to give anal precision to the budget we proposed
• resolution which would not only establish in future the
necessity of greater particularity in the budget, but which
aimed at fixing in the budget of the current year debits
sums, because this was indispensable in order that the
chamber may turas the control which wee expostel fees
it. All addles& that fee the future a delediol eletement
of the eased budget was indispensable, oil the pees-
men lionealves promised an amendoseet of the WO
ht Ws roped in future, but not in the peanut year. Sol
Ira, who Ind nel to regulate the forme of future belipiti
who had to ems to a determination 'Dowding to ear eaby
sod our oneosionso respecting the contents of the pnolat
sae, could sot wean ennielves to the expression of wiise
which might not be properly carried out if the people did
not active* urge the government thereto, and were obliged
not to grant the ways and means of the 'tete except in •
form which would give us that control which was our right.
We could not allow the constitutional right of the people to
become a sham. In order to fulfil the duty imposed on is
by the constitution, we were obliged to use the means we
had in order to insure is complete survey of the
budget to be voted. It is easy to understand, moreover,
how essential it was that at the present time the items of
the war budget should be particularised. The government
of the King has replied to this resolution, without waiting
till it was put into practical operation in the elaboration of
the different parte of the budget, by the dissolution of the
chamber. We have exercised our dear and incontestable
right, while assenting to the indispensable expenditure of the
year, and have in no manner encroached on the rights of
the executive. We have not !need • fruiting opposition,
or sought fora miserable quarrel. In • great and important
mention we desired to give reality to the constitutional
right of the representatives of the people, and await, with
a quiet aseseicace, the judgment of the country.

THE PRINCE OF WALES'S TOUR IN THE

EAST.

XAsce 14.

His Royal Highness the Prince of Wake arrived
on the 13th instant at &out, on his way up the
Nile.

The following telegram bee been received at Mr.
Renter's office from the Peninsular and Oriental
Steam Navigation Company, March 16:

BOMBAY MAIL.

The 'Valetta and Ellora, with the above mail,
left Alexandria on the 13th inst., at sunset, for
Marseilles and Southampton respectively.
The Malta brought the mail to Sues, arriving
there on the 12th.

OUTWARD CALCUTTA AND CHINA HAILS.
The Ceylon arrived at Gibraltar and left for
Alexandria yesterday morning (14th), all well.

At the numerous Cabinet Councils held of late
at Berlin, in consequence of the ministerial crisis, the
Gown Prince has almost invariably been present, notwith-
standing that his royal highness has been suffering from
eight indisposition.
The King of Prussia was present a few evenings
dues et • biters given by Professor Ludwig Oseist, the
sableat being "The Political Importance of the House of
Lords in England."
In his speech on Mexican affairs, delivered before
the French Legislative Corps on Thursday, M. Jules Fevre
observed :—" Prince Maximilian might be endowed with
all the virtues of his house, but in his (the speaker's)
opinion, they would be much bettor employed at home.
The archduke would appear to have accepted the candidate.
ship offered him, and had seriously entertained the question
with a political man, who was no other than a teacher
of the Spanish language. (Laughter.) Such were
the pretensions on which the blood and treasure of Frame
were lavished, under the pretence of avenging the wrongs of
French subjects! If the candidateabip of the Austrian
prince bad been brought forward under the flag of France,
she would be obliged to support it, but at present nothing
obliged her to do so. What has taken pima at Rome would
occur in Mexico. A garrison must be kept there ; and when
the members of a chamber should ask the government when.
the troops wield be withdrawn, the answer given would
be, 'We see waiting.'"
Gem( WI/mg.—The society of wine-growers at
Patna appears, according to the latest accouLta, to be pros-
pering. Having obtained the services of two experienced
wine-makers from Bourgogne and Bordeaux, it his been
enabled to produce great improvements in the art of vini6.
cation. The nominal capital of the society is 3 millions of
drachmas (2,703,000fe.), of which 700,000 have been paid up.
A sum of 150,000 drachmas has been expended in
the construction of wine cellars, capable of contain.
ig 8,000 barrels of wine. At present the society
makes effervescent wines iChampagee) at 3fr. 24c. per bottle,
delivered on the spot ; red table wine, imitating claret, at
90c.; white wine having the taste of Sauterne, and red wine
made of Corinthian grapes (currants), at Hr. Bc. both sorts.
In 1861 the vintage was so abundant that wine had been
sold from the vat at 6fr. per hectolitre. These wines con-
tain from 12 to 13 per cent. of 614)401. The society has
also built a distillery with the best apparatus imported
from Frame, so that it expects to be able to get excellent
bandy from Corinthian and other growths.
CANNIBALISM AT BONNY.—By the arrival of the
Armenia° mail steamer at Liverpool on Thursday night, we
learn that when the vessel was in the Bonny River, on the
Illth January last, a report was circulated to the effect that
• conchal feast was about to be made in the town, but no
