struggling nationality. On the ,aohlenry, the
oppressed populations are plainly talld that if they
do not promptly support the agpsA*.lisigns et
these foreign agitators they will be compelled to
do so. We have here the naked avowal of a
purely sellieh, violent, and tyrannical policy.
This German movement is undertaken not in the
interest of the Duchies, but on behalf of a foreign
Power. Its confessed object is to break up by force
an independent Monarchy in order that two of its
moat important provinces may be ultimately
seized and appropriated by the intervening Power.
An agitation of this sort cannot hope to succeed.
It would, indeed, be a deep and lasting reproach
to Europe if success in any such lawless enterprise
were possible at this time of day. The great
principles of public right and international justice
are not to be overthrown by an ebullition of mis-
guided popular sentiment however noisy or violent
it may be.

ADDRESS OF THE NATIONALVIREIN.
BERLIN, Nov. lE.

The committee of the Nationalverein resolved
yesterday to issue an address to the German
people.

I - The address reminds the Princes of their serious
responsibility, implores the German nation to act
for itself, calls upon the friends of the country to
furnish men, money, and arms, and to hold all re-
sources in readiness. It promises application of
the funds collected for the German fleet in a man-
ner corresponding with the emergency, and demands
self-taxation by the people.
The address finally exhorts the nation to firm
organisation, and states that the Nationalverein
has formed an auxiliary committee for the
purpose.

AUSTRIA.
THE HOLSTEIN QUESTION.

VIENNA, Noy. W.

In to-day's sitting of the Lower House of the
Reicharath, Count Rechberg stated that he would
reply to the question on Holstein to-morrow. He
was only awaiting the arrival of a diplomatic docu-
ment from Paris, and would then be enabled to lay
the correspondence upon the subject before the
house.

THE BOMBAY MAIL.

BOUTHAYPTON, Nov. 26.

The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer
Ceylon, with the above mails, has arrived. She
brings 70 passengers, specie value 721. 65., and a
general cargo, including 1,612 bales raw Ina, value
150,000/. sterling.
The Ceylon experienced fine weather throughout
the passage. On the 21st instant, when off Cape
St. Vinoent, she passed the French fleet, consisting
of five ironclad', two line-of-battle ships, and one
gunboat. _ . _

GIBRALTAR, Nov. 7/0.

Letters from Melilla, of the 9th, announoe the
arrival at the Spanish settlement, on the 6th, of
Senor Merry, the Spanish minister in Morocco,
on board the screw ship of war Concordia.
Senor Merry was accompanied by the Spanish
Consul in Tangier, and the Concordia also conveyed
to Melilla some boxes of specie (amounting, it is
said, to 85,000 dole), belonging to the Moorish
government, and designed for distrilation amongst
the tribes which are required to cede the lands
included within the new Spanish boundary. On
the day after his arrival, Senor Merry pro-
ceeded to the camp of Maley Abbas, and had
an interview with the prince. After his re-
turn to Melilla the ninety-six Moors who had been
arrested in the town and detained as hostages for
the good conduct of their friends outside, were set
at liberty and handed over to a trishaw of the
neighbouring district. Maley Abhor, whose duty is
in some measure that of • mediator between the
Bit tribes and the Spanish garrison, appears desir-
ous not to compromise his popularity with the
Moors by being on too intimate terms with the
Christians. It is probably to this motive
that mast be attributed what the Spaniards
of Melilla consider as • alight put upon
them. A Urge party, consisting of ladies,
officers of the garrison, and inhabitants of Melillo,
went out on the 6th to visit the Moorish camp.
Instead of the courteous reception they expected,
the visitors observed that on their approach all the
Moorish tents were immediately closed. After
such an unmistakeable hint that the prince and his
warriors were "not at home," the party returned
to the fortress, regretting that they had had their
walk of half a league for nothing.
The following British vessels have arrived here :
—On the 15th, the steamer Iberia, 8 days from
London ; schooner Idea, 21 days from ligirpost ;
barque Halcyon, 28 days from Sunderlail. On
the 16th, steamer Una, 7} days from London ;
steamer Moods*, 9 days from Glasgow. On the
17th, steamer galore, 44 days from Southampton ;
and on the 18th, royal yacht schooner Ginebra, 8
days from Southampton ; steamer Gladiator, &I
days from Liverpool; and steamer Minerva, 14
days from London.
Exchange and freights unaltered.
