st ries of ummpanotended cabmen. The only re-
source was to get a waggon. The bullion was drawn,
I bear, across tne bridge from Cologne to Dents by a
team which would bare done hamar to Barclay and

*dabs any sheet time. Arrangements tave been'
made &adobe toads reserved to pay off in full berme
the sad of the year, all the creditors of Madera, Ade-
laide without en:Vim. The creditors for estates pa:-
chimed have been use called on to come and receive
40 per cent. on the amount due to them. Tie letter
states that the creditor, which are not Liclusled in the
above division are the state, the Cense des Depots et
Consignations, and the house of Messrs. Rothschild.
The letter also calls on all those creditors who bylaw,.
or omission have not been included in the above dis-
tributions to send in their claims, which would have
immediate attention. Alluding to the assertion made
by M. Lagrange,in the Assembly, during the discussion
on the subject of the jointure to the Duchess of
Orleans, that a sum cf twelve millions was
slue to the ex-King by the house of Gold-
staidt and Co. in London, M. Vavin says that,
from information which he eorisiders deserving
of the fullest credit, it appears th.t the ex-King
Louis Philippe had, when Duke of Orleans, in 1814,
a sum of about 500,000 fr. in the heeds of Contts and
Co., in London, out of which, at the time of his visit
to Queen Victoria, he drew to the amount of 300,000 fr.
for the expenses of his journey, which bad exceeded
his calculations, and that the remainder of that amount
was used by him for the support of his family on
reaching England, atter the revoluiou of February,
until he had received further mama in pu,suance of
the decrees of the French government. The ebove
sum, adds the letter, was the only capital the ex-
King possessed in England, as could b • clearly provid
by the accounts of the civil list and of the private
domain.
The numbers of persons arrested for the affair of

SCIODAT, 11 A.M.
Contrary to expectation, M. Odilon Ramat yester-
day moved no ordre du joss motirl, but asked melsey
the necessary credits. It was a vote of confidencn
the ministry waiver, and on the question of credits it
took its stand. M. Barret denied that any dimen-
sions had existed in the cabinet, and, in the general,
tone of his speech. was not a whit stronger than M.
de Tocquevide. What the result will be to the mi-
nistry I cannot tell, bat the credits were voted by a
' large majority.
The Assembly first gave its deciainn on M. Victor
lingo's propos as follows The National Altera-

BERLIN, Ocr. 16.

The Austrian members of the federal commission in
Frinkfort are said to be General Schooliale and the
ex-minister Baron /Celia. The commissioners
named on the part of Prussia can hold office only
until the .ffeiclistog meets. That until that period
liadowitz will be one of the two chosen by the court
of Berlin seems pretty nearly certain.
Tr.e governmea is about to lay before the Cham-
bers, at the same time with the Vienna treaty of
Sept. 30, all the temper:Aloes connected therewith.
The Verwaltungs-Rat addressed to the p.vern-
meet of Mecklenburg bchwerio, a note to prevent, if
possible, the promulgation of the liberal constitution
which has just been ivied for that duchy. For-
tunately the note arrived too late. The coostitution
had been already proclaimed. The Norddeut•che
Correspondalt, published I. Rostock, revealed this
intrigue of the diplomatic ciuncll at Berlin, and has
drawn forth some lame excuses from the ministerial
Ehen.
ighty Hungarian officers were expected to-night
by the train from Breslau, bat only two came, neither
of whose names are known to fame. The govern
sent is exceediagly jealous of such sad pees
them on to Hamburg or Belgium wi . wt}
*bog them during their 24 boars' stay to very strict'
surveillance by the police. Elspke, accompanied by
an aidade-camp, passed through two days ago. A
commissary of police was at his side the whole time
he was here, which did sot exceed a few hours. At
Breslau an attempt was made to serenade him. His
arrival here was announced prematurely by the go-
vernmeat organs, it is supposed, with the view of pre-
vesting soy demonstrations ; foe ere the commandant
of Cowan arrived everyone *eight he had already
takes his departure.
To-day the snood chamber held a sitting, in which
the ordinances lensed in February, by the Minister el
Commeros, Von der Heydt, fur the regulation of the
guilds of handicraftsmen, formed the subject of debate.
The first and snood classes of the ministerial bill
were passed ushered.
The debate in the Hest chamber, upon the 108th
article of the constitution, is adjoined till to-morrow.
Fired Effendi arrived at St. Petersburgh on the 9th.
He was accompanied by hie secretary, Rend Effendi,
' the colooet of mutineers, Terra Bey, and Lotef Age,
major in the Turkish guard. He bad not been re-

Narnelrato a copy tithe Sultan's letter to Nichols.
Ocr. 19.
Ujhezy, the civil commissioner at Comoro, and one
of the most strenuous characters in the revolution,
arrived this morning, by the lin-o'clock train from
Breslau, together with 13 Hungarian officers. They
were all obliged to quit Berlin two hours after for
Hamburg, from which port -they will embark for

On the 15th lass. an agent of Rothschild passed
along the railroad to Vienna with bullion. Ile had
with him 8 boxes of Live-franc pieces, which he said
contained 20,000 pounds weight of salver. This heavy
luggage retarded the pecuniary envoy considerably in
tting from one ration to another, as no cab could
be found, of course, which could drag such a weight,

The king held 3esterday, in the new palace at Poto
dam, a chapter of the order of the Black Eagle, upon
which occasion Prince Frederick William, eleeat sin
of the Prince of Prance, who attained, according to
the laws of Prussia, his majority on that day, was in-
ducted with the usual ceremonies into the order.
The minister of foreign affairs, Sch'utile, seems
to give satisfaction to his employers, for he has just
received promotion. From oberpresident ad interim
of the province of Silesia he is raised to be ober-

160 Hungarian officers are expected to ship them-
selves at Br. men for New Orleans.
The adhesive of the Doke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin
to the oiost:tution framed by the Coantituent Assem-
bly of the duchies., in spite of the frowns and hints
from Berlin, and in spite of the aristocratic mime-
mince of his fellow Duke of Strelitz to submit to any
emastitntion whatever, has given a momentary in-
tenet to these northern st tes. There has exiate d
between these sates from ancient times a tie analo-
g°. to that which binds Schleswig to Holstein. The
Duke of Schwerin is a ycurg man of five-and-twenty,
sad the Duke of Strelitz en old man of seventy ; but
their heritages are in the inverse proportion of their
ogee, that is to say, Strelitz is much the smaller;
is fact, many gentlemen in Europe have much larger
private estates than the Duke of Strelitz'sterritory. This
aged prince takes advantage of naivety' to seek fre-
quent counsels at Sens Sobel, and the matt excellent
understanding prevails between him and the court of
Prussia, in imitation of which, and perhaps by the
suggestion of which, he ar.d his clique of old noble-
men, whom I can compare to nohing but the mer-
men and landgraves at the Bacchanalian supper in
"Vivian Grey." think to push down the throats of the
Mecklenburgers an oetroyed constitution of the mot
effiensively rictatorial kind. There is now a row going
on about this. The Vertealtqngs-Rath at Berliu, one
et the mist offensive, impotent, servile diplomatic
colleges that was ever suffered to bring a dozen pairs
al spectacles together over the same green
baits table-cloth, has, at the instillation of
the Duke of Strata, sent a note to the Schwerin
government, to admonish the • duke not to allow the,
constitution of tt., Constituent Assembly to be pro-
mulgated ; which note, ss I stated yesterday, fortu-
nately arrived too late. The question now is, whether
the union which has bither.o existed between the
duchies is to czot any linger, and what Prussia will
do? I believe that Prussia will do as she has done
by Anhalt-Des.•au, and leave the Schwerin constioe-
lion alone, at Inset for the present. Aubalt-Dessau,
singular to Fay, el joys unmolested, and heater several
months erjoyed, the most democratic constitution in
Europe, alt Inuah a tiny state, a mere sparrow
cowering under the nee wing of Prussia. This
Anhilt constitution was iu fact drawn up
by Waldeck. Reference having been made
to this celebrated democrat, who was then in the
senith of h s reputation, uprn certain points, he found
it quite as easy to furnish the whole draft as to find
SMSWOIII to toe goes ions proposed to him, which dr.fe
was accepted without in. sensible alteration. Wal-
deck is in jail. but his constitution yet flourishes on
that little p Act of Germany : and not even the might
of Prussia der •to trampl it out. But bad the re-
poblic of San Mail.° been but half as democnatii as
the constitution of De-eau, Austria would have
smashed that little I alien toy-republic long ago.
This difference between the daring of Austria and
Prussia he their reactionary career is a measure of the
political civilisation of the east and west of Germany.
Prussia, with all her bayonets, dung not outrage the
public opinion of Eurepi to the same extent as
Austria.

CONSTANTINOPLE, OCT. 3.—We extract the
following from the Leipzig Unisarsol Gessits for Oot.
18 :—" We are will waiting to hear of the reception
given by the courts of St.Petersbnrg and of Vienna
to our answer. The Prussian ambassador is already
spoken of as about to perform the ogles of mediator,
zs rasa the political horizon should really lower. In
the mass time thi government is actively employed
is sappeesing the disorders that have broken out in
se mazy places. Ships of war have been sent to the
Archipelago, to sweep it clean of the pirates and
others who infest its waters. An insurrec-
tion was lately announced on the frontiers
in the pashalic of Monastir (Thessaly), and
troops have been sent off from various penis to the
d,s.urb=d points. An insurrection of the inha-
bitants of Orfa has produced mote uneasiness am.,ng
the christiin inhabitants. According to the official
declarations of the Constantinople Gazette, it was pro-
voked by a census, which was considered as an un-
warrantable innovation. Provably, however, violent
eseesses have been perpetrated here also against the
&helium and Franke, the representatives as it were of
that progressive mind, that occasions such innova-
tions; 0 least this is tainted by the Aleppo
o rtespndent, for here the christian and Frank-
i-h saw with strong apprehension the de-
parture of the pasha with a great portion of his
troops for Orfe to quell the troubles that had broken
out there. The government has ordered a quarantine
to be ob-erved in Trieste for all travellers ooming
from Tricots, consequently from the west. Tne Lloyd

dangerously all on board. The line of steamers esta-
blished about siz months ago by the Turkish govern-
ment on the Black Sea, between Trebisond and
Baum, has been abolished on account of the great
pecuniary losses sustained. A Turkish charge
d'affrires will henceforth reside at Brussels, and the
Viscount of K. rektove is already appointed. Never
was foreign, that is, Russian, money so ph ntiful as at
resent; only rabies are to be seen, and Turkish
piastres ors sought for at a premium. The govern-
ment and the bank have issued decrees against this
Basilian coin, but cash in baud is more pawerfuL
P.S. This morning a division of English ships of
observation arrived here; as I just learn, they will
help to guard the Bosphorus ; they were greeted by
the Turks with a salute of 21 guns.

MALTA, Ocr. 12.
The continued absence of Mr. More O'Ferrall
has occ'eioued a slight alarm to the newly-
.le ted Council of Eight. Although nearly two
months have (Ivied since their election, they
are not yet sworn in, and marl think they
never will be. Malts, at this moment, has no
4overoor, or chief-secretary, or commander-in-chief of
the troops present—they are all away on leave, and
yet the machine works od as usual.
There is a report that the passage-money by Her
M jetty's packets is to be reduced considerably, to
sr if that will not induce pawengers to give them
the preference to the French and other steamere.
Unit es the syetem is charged, this will be of no ter-
ei-e. The commanders of the steamers may be, and
are, on this station, the kindest and most amiable
of men, and are highly sp ken of by ail who tithe a
passage with them; but the sy.tem which compels
them to keep a one-gun steamer in all the apple-pie
order, and severe discipline of a regular vessel of
war, dew is, and will deter, many from taking a pas-
sage in them. Thus. if the rives be reduced, the
government will still be a greater loser by running
these steamers, instead of givirg the lines to the
Peninsular and Oriental Company, who could do it
at halt the expense.
I am sorry to have to mention that there is a fear-
ful amount of crime committed by the soldiers now
in garrison here. Se .rely a week passes that several
are not tried by court-martial for insubordination
ai.d drunkenness; or that three or four do nyt figure
at the Police-court for theft or rioting.
The article in the Doily News of the 18th ult.
respecting the Roman refugees and More O'Ferrall

Tne Jesuit party here, both lay and clerical, has
been so vexed and annoyed at the severe censures of
the Lyndon press upon the conduct of Mr. More
O'Farrell, in respect to the Sicilian and Roman refu-
gee!, that meetings have been held, consi,ting princi-
pally of a few members of the Chamber of Commerce,
some government employee, and Jesuit priests, to take
into consideration the expediency of erecting a tri-
umphal arch to More O'Ferrall on his re-urn ; and the
tin of 1301. sterling has been subscribed by the
imarilla to defray the expenses.

published. At Flushing brawls between the Danish
and German-minded inhabi•ants are of daily occur-
rence. A petition to the Jtitig of Prussia has been

similar number of signatures was diked to a protest
against the annulling of the fundamental law. Oen.

Huvgarian rtfugtes to Austria and Russia, hid
elicited much admiration for Turkish hospitality
thr-ughou" the union, although it was feared that the
Sultan would be compelled to yield them op eventu-
ally. Several meetings bad been held in the leading
cities to concert measures for giving such of the re-

welcome.
The Ohio, Maryland, and Georgia state elections
took place during the week. The entire returns are

Benton, who has been making a polittoaltoar terough
Missouri.
Considerable interest had been excited by the
announcement of a history of the late attempt at in-
surrection in Ireland, by Michael Daheny, one of the
outlaws. The work is entitled, "The Felon's Track,"
and is reported as being a vigorous and polished pro-
duction, b airing in some parts, severely on the pi it at-
