SIM Emperor has arrived at Brescia. I forbear
quoting the newspaper reports of the extravagant
roicdamp with which he is described to have been
everywhere received. They must be all lies.
The saltpetre monopoly has been abolished at the
instance of the Minister of War.
A fresh &wee has been issued at Prague forbid-
ding the peeseesion of arms. Every conviction will
be punished with ten years' imprisonment and hard
labour.
The cholera is very bad in Prague.
The trade in salt between Lombardy and Austria
beg been prohibited, because the Italian traders pur-
lieus& Si salt with Austrian paper, and then re-
sold it in Italy for silver. In Venice and Lombardy
there is a metallic currency, and very little or no
Paper money at all.

BERLIN, SIFT. 22.
The provisions of the new law of the press before
the Frankfort Senate differ principally from other laws on
this subject in the following particulars : By the 2nd article
it is enacted " that though a judgment may not be pro-
nounced (eine verurthertung nichter folgt) against any
paper containing any punishable contents (stratharen yr
halt), it may be, notwithstanding, suppressed and annihi-
lated (vernichtimg) with its types." Editors of foreign
(German, of course) papers may be brought before a tri-
bunal of the Band. Insult or contempt towards the Diet,
or the Diet's authorities, or any German confederate autho-
rities, or the sovereigns of foreign stater, may be punished
by • fourteen days or three months' imprisonment, or •
year's condemnation to the workhouse; or, under aggra-
vated circumstances, to three years' imprisonment. Offences
towards ambassadors to the Diet, or diplomatic agents,
will incur a penalty of from three months to two years'
imprisonment. Any attempt to seduce soldiers from
their obedience will subject the offender to a fine of 280
florins, or from thteo months to a year's forced labour is
a workhouse. Attacks on religion or morals, or the usages
of any religon established in a state, may, under aggravated
circumstances, be punished with four years' imprisonment ;
and the diffusion of any religious opinions or doctrines
which tend to the violation of the law or pod morals, will
be punished by a fine of from 10 to 200 florins, or work-
house labour for 18 months ; and to procure followers to
such doctrines subjects the malefactor to a line of hook 116
to 500 florins, or to a workhouse incarceration of from ass
to three years. Further, the editor of a paper must hays
his constant residence in Frankfort ; two condemnations is
a year incur a suspension from his editoral functions of from
one to five years ; and two condemnation in half a year en-
title the police to suppress any publication summarily.
The above details show a partielar intention to suppress
especially religious liberty, for any doctrine but that of a
state church will be accounted of course offensive to religion
and good morals, and in violation of law. Still, as long as
a tribunal, however constituted, may be really appealed to,
think the Germans, in the present temper of the nation,
have not much to fear from the most iniquitous laws. What
they have to fear is, the putting aside even of the most
stringent laws by " authority ;" and you may perceive by
the 2nd article of the proposed law, as I have given it above,
this resource—this compiteney to act without the sentence

of a law tribunal—is alitiady irovided in case of necessity.
That laws and juries here will not condemn what are
called " press offenders," there is another example fur-
nished to-day in the acquittal of M. Harked, who has been
brought to trial for his book entitled " Letters of City and
Country Life." liis work is now released from the restric-
tion it had been placed under, and tho costs fell upon the
prosecution, that is, the government.
The protest of Count Farstenberg against the provincial
Dicta, has not only received—letters from Cologne say--the
approbation of the most distinguished lawyers, but also, In
writing, that of Cardinal Archbishop Diepenbrock, of Brea.
lau, who distinctly counselled the count to follow the die-
totes of his own csnscieuce, irrespective of personal or po-
litical motives. This advice of the archbishop the count
has transmitted to the king.
The episcopate of Bavaria has published the following
oath, which is to be henceforth taken by all priests ou their
installation in their priestly functions: " I mean that I do
not belong and will not belong to any society or union which
has been shut up by the police or other authority, or a par-
ticipation in which is inconsistent with the present church
discipline." The neces,ity of imposing this oath on the
Bavarian clergy gives one a better opinion of that body
than one might be previously inclined to entertain.
The judgments pronounced by the press of the south on
the customs convention between Prussia and Hanover ma-
ssifs:at certainly considerable displeasure at this measure ;
nevertheless, the necessity of maintaining the Zollverein is
generallyand emphatically admitted. The Augsburg Zei-
t-wig counsels the south-west provinces to urge on this occa-
sion the reduction of duties. All idea, says this paper, of a
customs union watt Austria must be given up, at least for
a generation.

BRAZIL.
RIO DE JANEIRO, JULY 24.
By the Brazilian steamer, Imperador, wo have
news from Monte Video to the 6th.

Oribe had intimated to the government of Monte
Video that hostilities would be commenced. ou the
18th.

A letter dated Monte Video, July 5, says : " A con-
ference between the Brazilian admiral Grenfell, the
minister Herrera, Urquiza, and General Garzon, took
place at Gualiguaichu (Entre Rios), when it was de-
termined that Urquiza and Garzon should unite their
forces, consisting of 8,000 men, with the Brazilian
troops; the junction was to take place on the 18th,
when operations against Oribe were to be immedi-
ately commenced.
In the meantime the entire Brazilian squadron
was to occupy the River Parana, and defend the
coast of Entre Rios from any attempt at invasion on
the part of Buenos Ayres.
The Monte Videan government had notified to
Admiral Le Predour that the armistice between their
forces and those of General Oribe would be denounced
on the 18th, but it said the French Admiral re-
fused to accept the reasons urged on the part of
Monte Video, not having yet received instructions
on the subject.
In Rio we have nothing new to report. In our
coffee market some animation has been shown since
the sailing of the Severn, and we notice a rise of
100 reis in price for the better qualities; the supply
continues limited, and dealers are very firm at the
quotations. Superior, 3.230 dole. to 3.400 dole; and
first good, 3.100 dols. to 3.150 dots. The stock is
about 50,000 bags.
The sugar market is in complete apathy. In ex-
change, transaction are reported at 29 d., and some
few at 291.
Stock has continued to rise. The last quotations
were : Six per Cents., 91 ; and Provincial, 881.
