embassy. Count Rossi, the French ambassador, also leaves
en cowl. The new Portuguese; ambassador. Abigues de
Crux, was waited upon on the 25th by the high clergy and the
corps diplomatiquc. M. de Buteneff, the Russian ambassa•
dor, and Count Spaur, the Bavarian ambassador, are
returned from their journey to southern Italy. Baron
Cunitz, the Prussian ambassador, has left en con7e for Ger-
many. Cardinals Altieri and Amat are appointed
legates for Bologna and Ravenna. A letter from Romagna
states, that the Austrian garrisons in the fortresses of
Ferrara and Comacchio (Roman States) have been
greatly reinforced. General Ra.letzki, Commanderin-chief
of the Austrian troops in Italy, made a personal inspection
of the two fortresses, and ordered new works to be erected.
The Austrian squadron, under the orders of the Archduke
Frederic, is still cruizing in the Adriatic. The commis-
sioners appointed at Bologna to collect aid for the liberated
primners has sent M. Martinelli to Rome to beseech the
pardon of those political (genders incarcerated in 1843, to
the number of about one hundred. It is generally supposed
that this will be granted, as also a full pardon to those
prisoners belonging to the army, clergy and public officers,
excluded from the first amnesty.

ROME.—The Tuscan Government has at length
consent( d according to the wishe of the Vienna cabinet, to
appoint its own ambassador to the Papal See. M. Bargagli,
of Florence, is considered likely to be the new ambassador.
This may be principally attributed to the Tuscan government
haying given shelter to the insurgents at the time of the
insurrection at Rimini. The Queen of Holland was ex-
pected at Rome with Prince Alexander. A letter from
Naples announces the arrival there of the Hanoverian repre-
sentative at Rome, M. de Kellner, to conclude a treaty of
commerce and navigation with the Neapolitan government.
It is said that Sweden intends forming a similar treaty.

GERMANY.—PRUSSIA.—BERLIN, OCT. 4.—The
want of money is still felt considerably on the Berlin Bourse.
There was a report at Berlin that Dr. Goetze was to succeed
M. Duesbcrg as minister of state.
WritrEMBERG.—STIITTGARD.—It is stated, on
good authority, that the Wurtemberg government has sent
well-instructed persons to Hungary and to America, to make
large purchases of corn, and that they had voted three million
florins for that purpose.

SEPT. 23.—Michael Obrenowitch, late Prince of
Servia, has obtained from Austria, and Russia permission
to visit his estates in Wallachia, a pact of which the
family intend ti sell, Prince Michael will shortly go there,
and not to give the preient Servian government any ground
for suspicion, he will not take the road along the Danube,
but he will go by land. His stay in Wallachia is fixed fur
six weeks.

BOHEMIAN FRONTIERS, SEPT. 29.—According to
accounts from Bosnia, the whole population, including the
Mahometan Slavonians, is in such a state of excitement, that
serious disorders are expected, and that an attempt to acquire
independence, encouraged by Semis, mar probably soon be
made. French travellers have lately been frequently observed
in the country. One of them was lately put in prison by the
Paella of Banjaluka, because he c;uld not give a satisfactory
account of the object of his journey. The example of the in-
creasing prospenty of the principalty of Servia has great
influence. Thus the Ottoman empire, at least in Europe, is
tending more and more to its dissolution.

SCIILESWIG, HOLSTEIN, AND 1./ENMARK.—Sir,
Your remarks upon the letter of "A Native of Schleswig, Holstein,"
London, September 26th, in your paper of the 6th inetint, and the
pains you have taken to inform your countrymen of the true state of
the present struggle between the Danes and the Germans, make me
hope that you will accept the few statements I think it right to offer
in regard to the assertions in the above-mentioned letter, is addition
to what the leading article contain.. The writer says in his letters
that "the party in Detunat limited the Propaganda have occasioned the
pertinacious efforts of Schleswig and Holetein to defend their rights
be measures tending to denationalise the inhabitant., of the duchies."
The fact is this: The inhabitants of Schleswig are descendants of the
banes; they have for centuries maintained their custom', hare, and
language as distinct from their southern neighboure,though the politi-
cal connexion and elates intercourse between echleewig and Holstein
tended strongly to germanise them. Ever since the now existing
union of Schleswig with Denmark, 123 yeare ago, this influence from
the south did not discontinue, and the Danish government eeemed
entirely heedleee of theenenuelies of foreign language and foreign inte-
rests. • This was, however, not to be wondered at so king as the royal
family itself maintained its predilections for the German languoge and
their Gelman connexions. Until the end of Christian VII.'. reign,
German was the court language; the army was commanded in Ger-
man, royal ordonnanees issued in German, German immigrants ob-
tained emploneent, and distinctions. Such • state of thing, it wa."
the duty of a just government to change, and from the beginning of
this century reveralmessurm of the government tended to re-establish
the Danish language in it. rights. Nevertheless, justice was not yet
done to the Danish languacm in the north of Schleswig ; but the civil
officers and the clergy, educated in Germany and brought up in
German ideas; eontinu dto administer their offices in German, so that
in many parts of the ceuntry the people could not understand either
the proceedings at the courts of law nor the sermons in their
churches. The order of the present king that all civil officers
in the parts of Schleswig where Danish KM the language
of the inhabitants should, within a certain time, learn the Danish
language, In order to hold the courts in the language of the people,
was mit obeyesl, and every means taken to frustrate the intentions of
the government. Thu•' (drat, the aevocatee agreed not to plead any
cause in Danielh. Under such eireurret.nces, the Inhabitants of Den-
mark felt that their lueruam most necessarily be destroy's'', their
kinsmen forced to adopt the tongue of their encroaching neighbourn
if they did not obtain a more active assistance than that of royal
orders and admonition,. A root number of men or all ranks in
Ikeunark joined then in a union for the purpose of distributing Danl,h
books, and establishing Ilbrarieas, in Northern Schleswig, attionmit the
people whose language still was the Danish. Tee. smote:it:on had, as
you may expoet, a great progress, and it was OHM enables' powerfully
to :asset the inhabitant, in their entletebure to establish a higher
school in the north of Schleswig. So far from efforts to deradionallee
the inhabitants of the duchies, the effort. were directed merely against
We Mettle from the other side to denatienalise the t) :dish population '
in Northern Schleswig. Of Holstein there can be no question, in this
country has never ilAti any Danish inhabitant+, nor h to it in :my way
been e,meentel in the measures of the government, anti of the I eanish
nation, to maintain the Danish language. You will, therefore, I hope,
acknowledge, that there is on the sate of the Dates net even " on
ardent worship of old nationality," ',AI loot " an antigmuian and
pedantic mania, perverted into a little tyranny." As to "the inexpe-
diency of incorporating these German provinces with the Danish."
Why should the inhabitant. of Schleswig and lloldein net wish to
resist it, if ever it be attempted ! But at the present moment they can
spare their energy and valour, as such an intention is as far front the
Danish gmernment as from themselves; the two declarations of the
King, of the 6th of July and 16th of September, this year, clearly
prove his will to respect the ',pirate rights of thew two countries.
The government ha• certainly been led into the fault of attempting to
aesenitate the mean:try emtem of the two duchies with that of I /en-
mark, by changing the frictions of the former into frictions similar
to those of the latter, but having expetienc d several failures, the
government itself has abandoned this scheme, and has now brought
forward a plan for changing the fraction, of the Danish dollar, eor-
- responding in value to those nee.l in the duchies. The King it IR thus
showa his readiness to remedy the grievances of the people, whenever
he finis them just. The wriser is afraid of being carded too far bventer-
ing upon the diemlytnteires which the introduction of Danish finance,
and Danish system of taxation would eau•e." Ile is terteinly right
In his discretion, because therein still less reason for such inquiry than
fur am other of his wanton dascumiltili, as there has hitherto not been any
question of introducing sire alteration in the state of the countries.
The "device of the lionise government to suppress the military
wheel in S .hlestrig-lfolstein," is a topic I cannot say anything of, ny
memory only reaching back to the beginning of this century ; it must
then have happened upwards of half a century ago, and for reason,
that two such institutions were found too much for so small a state ;
that " commiseions in the army are granted to Danes alone" is
false; when fewer llolsteinere and Sekleswigers than Danes enter the
army it is not the fault of the government, but can be explained by
several circumstances, without referring it to political partiel.ty, and
in the +erne way is also t o be explained the fact that few but Danes,
and amonwmt these few young men from the remoter parts of the
country', enter the navy. One of thechief cause, may be that the seheols
for both branches of the military force are at Copenhagen ; consequently
further away from the homee of the inhabitants of the declass; but
it thes lie muitilient for accusing the government, the inhabitants of
Jutland might make the same complains, and surely the only remedy
would he to e.tsbilsh a military vim' In eve y province. The

Neighbours, who do nut appear to have the natural dispasition that

of a navy are, however, deeply felt by the merchants and shipowners

of articles on this subject, and you may hear functionaries in Berlin

oreans of the public opinion in Germany arc daily contending for the

induces the govenunent to indulge the passions of the people, as in this
instance, serving their own interests and purposes!! We respect as
much as any "the peeeeveringdefenceof rights, and the opposition to
their violation," but when the writer, and all who sewed on that sale, step
forward as if they were the only defendersof rights, they alone victims
of oppression and injustice, we are celled upon to oppose them, and to
testify for the world that in the Duchy of Schleswig about half the
number of the inhabitants are of Daniih descent, speak Danish, and
feel themselves bound to the Danes with the some ties of kindred
and of friendship as do their southern neighbours to Germany ; that
they have for centuries suffered inroad, of foreign habit", foreign lan-
guage, and ideas • that they suffered all the eonsempt a nation consi-

head Of civilisation and enlightenment, of litera-
ture and science, likes to heap upon three she thinks beneath herself,
until these insults awakened them and their kinsmen in Ikeunark to
consciousness of their rights, and taught the government the necessity
of preserving them, if they would preserve the love and confidence of
the people. The writer Faye, " When the Duke of Auguetenberg
ascends the Danish throne, our rights are sure to be respected." llow
does he know this? Where has the. Duke, up to this moment, shown
his strong respect for the rights of others? Where him he proved
himself a prince of high and powerful mind, a man who in the feeling
a what he owes to himaelf and his position, knows to give others what
is due to them ? Has his whole career not much rather been that of a
disappointed partisan, who prefers to gra'ify his own vanity by trebl-
ing applause of the leaders of the Opposition, and flattering the wishes
of a party, and to show his own self-imagined intellectual superiority
by a momentary triumph ? lii, last presenting at his castle confirms
this, and no Dane can any longer enjoy his hospitality without in-
fringing hie dutie., as a Wail subject. The Duke's Late alliance with
his former opponent, the (intent of Pmt, cannot glee hie cause any
strength in the eyes of the people of Schleswig and Holstein, whatever
it may do with the nobility. It is only u proof that also this man,
formerly the proud defender of the rights of the duchies, has forgotten
his duty, and 14 fallen from his lofty position down to that of a partisan
of a self-imagined pretender, at whose petty court his high mind will
never find remuneration for what be has abandoned. We need nut
wait to see the Duke of Augustenherg ascend the Danish throne—
and how should this happen! To be sure of our rights being re-
specter!, we have a King who, from the first day be took this affair
in his own hawk; bag shown that it is his firm intention to respect
the rights of all his subject', and to do justice to all his people. This
he has solemnly declared, and his deeds have answered to his words.
A new energy has been infused into the government, and when "the
professors and advocates" have been brought back to their true poet-
tion, the government will be enabled to grant what they consider
right; be it, however, that "the native of Schleswig-Holstein" and
his friends will only see concessions to Menet., Count Preetz and Co.,
in " the measures of Christian 1111., that indicate respect for the

HOLLAND.—TUE HAGUE, Ocr. 7.—Yesterday,
at twelve o'clock, the rMlway from this town to Delft was
opened by a train which went to that place and back for the
first time by way of trial, which, we are happy to say, was
perfectly satisfactory.

ZIOOLLE, Ocr. 7.—ln this province, it is to be ob-
