Ti c Austrian Emperor arrivedßEßLlN this day at noon by
the Anhalt Railway, in company of the King, who,
ao stated yesterday, had met him at iiiterbogk. The
Emisror wore the Prussian untorrn ascolonel of the
erment F.mperor Franz, and the King the uniform
of his regiment of Hungarian !fussier& 'The monarchs
did not etiter the city, but drove off in a carriage and
four to Ilarlottenburg, the Emperor sitting on the
f.glit of his host. A second carriage contained the I
Aichduke brother of the Emperor.
The Emperor of Austria's visit to Berlin is meant
Is a ..alutary hint to the French that the German
Brest posers remain cordially united for the mainte-
Duce of the treaties of 1815, and that any attempt
to disturb the arrangements on which the peace of
Europe has so long rested would meet with an
'gully prompt and formidable repulse. On
8411urfty morning there will be a grand
parade of the whole garrison in the Lime Tree•walk,
the chief street of Berlin ; and when the Emperor
and King, with their suites, ride through the tri-
umpiret arch of the Brandenburg-gate a salute of a
hundrid guns will be tired. The youthful figure of
the Emperor, with his ardent martial spirit, will
probed). cause no less excitement among the spec-
tators than that raised by the commanding appear-
ance of the Czar. The dretu Zriguny remarks that

this is the first ocesidon on which Berlin has had a
visit from any reigning chief of the House of Haps-
burg.

The Official Gazette questions, without denying,
the truth of the report of a new loan, which hag
circulated for the last few dip in Vienna and Frar,g-
fort.

SWITZERLAND.

The Federal Council has sent to the chiefs of the
various cantonal governments copies of a French
diplomatic note, calling their attention to a fabulous
plan, attributed to the revolutionary party, of over-
turning the government by !means of counterfeit
wit,. Ile cantons are warned of the great danger
to which they are exposed, and recommended to be
upon their guard. The Swiss newspaper., in report-
ing this warning, complain that foreign governments
, are mystifying Switzerland.

THE UNITED STATES.
TILE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

We announced yesterday the arrival of the Ame-
rice, and in part of our impression we published a
summary of the President's Message. The document
itself will be found below, slightly abridged. The
America brought 61 passengers, and 323,000 dollars
iu specie.
Tho Europa arrived at New York on tho evening
of the 2nd, and the Niagara at Halifax on the 10th
instant.

_
A great fire had occurred on the night of the Ist
instant at Boston, by which property to the amount
of 21)0,000 dole. was destroyed, and upwards of 100
persons thrown out of employment.
From Cuba we kern that the Crescent City affair
is at last settled. The Governor. General of Cuba
takes Mr. l'urser Smith's recent affidavit as satisfac-
tory, and admits him and whatever vessel he serves
upon to the port of Ilavannah, and toquiet obscurity
as before. This is wise. But it seriously interferes
with the hopes of the Flibustiers, who desire that
General Canedo should continuo to prove himself a
big fool, and kick up a rumpus that only a war could
end. If the rulers of the island do but maintain a
reasonable discretion in their future management,
the emancipation of the vast body of slaves that it
contains, and its conversion into a negro republic, or
a pat of the black Empire of the Tropics, may
llong be delayed. A great plan for tic importation
lof Chinese labourers into the island is said to be on
foot. It is thought that their labour will be cheaper
land better than that of negroes.
The British ship John S. 1)o Wolfe, from Liver-
' pool fur Savannah, with salt and coal, recently went
ashore near Black Beard Island, and is a total has.
The passengers and crew were all saved.
We have from Tampico information that great ex-
citement existed in consequence of a formidable
revolution which had broken out in the state of
Tamaulipas. The city of Victoria, the capital of the
state, had been captured by the revolutionists, who
were hourly expected to attack Tampico.
Accounts from Souora report that Conn De Bout-
bon had rebelled, and that a battle had been fought
with the government troops under General Blanco,
in which the latter were defeated.

The ►tate of Aguas Calit mei had pronounced in
favour of the plan of Guadalajara, and contributed
large quantities of arms to the revolutionists.
The authorities of Oriziba were treating with the
insurgents at Vera Cruz, and probably would sur-
render to the latter.

At Mazatlan two vessels of war, which were sent
from Acapulco to blockade the port, had joined the
insurgents.
By the arrival of the British brig Roseway Belle,
Captain Acker, from the city of St. Domingo, we
have advietv to the oth jest. We learn
from Captain Sturtevant, late of the brig
Henrietta, who came home passenger by the
above vessel, that it is very sickly at St. Domingo,
the fever prevailing to an alarming extent, he having
lost two men of yellow fever, and left the mate and
one man sick on the coast, and the cook at St. Do-
mingo City. Captain S. also states that Captain
' Soule, of the brig Four Brothers, of Philadelphia,
which was wrecked on the coast about the 10th Oct.,
has since died, also his mate and four men, leaving
only one man alive, and he sick. A merchant,
named Dalton, recently from Boston, died in the
City on the 30th ult. Captain Sturtevant also re-
ports that his brig (the Henrietta, of Portland), was
wrecked on the morning of the 30th of October while
beating in the Bay of Neson, she mis-stayed, and
went on a reef, where she soon went to pieces. She
was in charge of • government pilot at the time.
Captain Sturtevant tenders his thanks to Captain
Acker, officers, and crew, of the brig Raceway Belle,
for their kindness to him during the passage to New
York.
