same evening for Berne, where he arrived on the
night of the Bth. Re had a conference with Mr.
Peel on the morning of the 9th, and afterwards an
interview with M. Ochaenbein, which continued to a
late hour.

Frog the state of the chest of the canton of Lu-
cerne, recovered from the fugitive authorities of the
Sonderbund, it appears that the treasury of the
League derived its chief resources from loans &applied
by Austria, and from an examination of the arms
and artillery captured or surrendered, it appears that
the League derived its arms from France--the cypher
of Louis Philippe was found upon the artillery. The
deputies had a private meeting on the afternoon of
the Oth, at which it was expected that M. Och-
senbein would have informed them of the proposi-
, lions of Sir B. Canning. The note of Prussia had
been delivered to M. Ochsenbein that morning
by one of the secretaries of the Prussian Le-
gation. It was word for word identical with
those of France and Austria. The cantons
of the defunct League were proceeding with the
elections of their respective grand councils and
other cantonal authorities. The popular assemblies
of these cantons respectively had passed resolutions
in substance similar to those of Friburg and Lucerne,
renouncing the League, acknowledging the authority
of the Diet, and re-organising their governments.
The general assembly of the people of the canton
of Zug adopted on the 6th, resolutions similar to
those adopted by the other cantons of the Sender-
band, renouncing the League, acknowledging the
authority of the Diet, and appointing a provisional
government.
The provisional government of Lucerne has effected
a loan of 180,000 francs in Austria, 100,000 at Bile,
land 36,000 at the convent of St. Urbain.

The Madrid mail of the 7th, dne in Paris on Sun-
day, had not arrived at the hour of the despatch of
our correspondence.

The Journal des Debate of Sunday contradicts the
announcement made by the Semaphore, of Marseilles,
of a general insurrection in Sicily, bnt gives no autho-
rity for such contradiction.- The intelligence of the
Semaphore arrived in a letter from Naples, dated the
2nd instant. The Nourelliste, another Marseilles
journal, gives the same news in a supplement, in
which it is added that the Sicilians, in proclaiming
the constitution of 1812, coant on the diplomatic
support of England. It is further stated that the
troops not only refused to use their arms against the
people, but in many instances made common cause
with them. . .

The report was that this news had been received
by the government at Naples by telegraph. The
steamer Vesurio, plying between Naples and the chief
ports of Sicily, had not arrived notwithstanding the
moat favourable state of the weather, and it was in-
ferred that she had been seized and detained by the
insurgents. It is evident, therefore, that, in the ab-
sence of any direct and regular communication with
the island, this report most at best be received with
reserve.

AUSTRIA.—VIENNA.—TEIE JESUlTB.—Foeuteen
Jesuits have arrived here frwa Switzerland, and have been
presented by the imperial counsellor, Mr. Hurter, to the
chancellor of state. It is very probable that they will, for
the first time, be permitted to remain here under the plea of
hospitality, and then form the commencement of a regular
community; for although their buildings and the other pro-
perty of the order of the Jesuits have been confiscated in
Switzerland, they have still immense wealth remaining.
It is doubtful whether the convent of the Kamaldulen on
Kahlenberg, which has jest been purchased for 80,000
florins, or the convent of the Liguorians, which is situated
in the very heart of the city, will be asaigned to them.
BRAZIL—Dates from Pernambuco to the 31st of
October have been received to-day, but communicate nothing
of interest. The rate of exchange on London was, how-
ever, quoted higher, at 28d.
