BADEN.

The Carlaruher Zeiul4cOutains an article upon
the refusal of the (catholic) Archbishop of Freiburg
to celebrate the religious office for the late Grand
Duke. The semi-official organ says:
The sovereign, whether protestant or catholic, is the ruler
of all his subjects, without distinction of coniession—it is
his csalted vocation to care alike for all. For this reason all the
cenfemions send up their prayers to heaven on his behalf
It is doubly astonishing that any one should refuse the
usual offices to the Grand Duke Leopold, who was a truly
peaceful and benevolent prince. It is conceivable that
strife may occasionally arise between the church and the
state ; but there is at least one spot where all embitterment
should cease—the grave, where a noble prince has found
his resting place.

Our Lisbon correspondent, writing on the 9th,

as 'a:
We have received an account of an earthquake which
took place at St. Michael's, on the 16th ult., and which
did considerable damage, attended by the loss of 7 lives.
There had previously been much rain and wind, but the
16th was dry and hot, in the afternoon the atmosphere
began to thicken, or rather darken. and about 10 o'clock at
night a violent shock was felt, accompanied by a great sub-
terranean noise. The convulsion threw down houses and
walls, ruined others, and opened chums; the people fled
in all directions. About 25 minutes alter 4 am., on the
17th, another shock was felt less violent. The whole par-
ticulars are not yet known, but those which have been
ascertained show that l'onta Delgada is pretty nearly •
heap of ruins; the tower of the church also fell, and caused
much damage to that edifice, the same thing happened at
Feteiras. The vessel found derelict at sea, which the
Dragon brought in dismasted and water-logged, is dis-
charging her cargo of fine white pine balk. No papers
have been timid, or other materiels, by which anything
regarding her can be known. The name, "Gilmour," is
on her anchor, and other parts are also marked with Eng-
lish names. }her hurtbcn isahout 1,000 tons. The intelli-
gence of the Queen's progress is of the ordinary character
addresses, triumphal arches, human, &c.

Monte Video, 6 ; Rio Janeiro, 14; Bahia, P 4 ; Per-
nambuco, 21 : St. Vincent, 30; Teneriffe, May 5;
Madeira, 6; and Lisbon, 10.
There is no political news of any consegnence.
Everything in confusion at Buenos Ayres, from the
number of lawless persons abroad. At Rio they were
contemplating a brush with Monte Video, to enforce
the treaty entered into before the defeat of 'togas, the
parties in power now refusing to ratify that part of
it which makes the rivers Parana and Uruguay free
to Brazilian ships.
