It is generally stated indeed in Paris that the re-

to the number of foreign democrat, who bad been
' forced to take refuge there, and who found in Rome
their last resource of safety.

The Journal des Dads, of Wednesday, states that
two-thirds of the Austrian army in Italy, being called
to Vienna to defend that capital against the Hunga-
rian army, had retreated towards Austria. The force
which occupied the Duchy of Mama had retired to
the Po, and the corps. of General Haynau, before
Venice, had raised the siege to retire into Illyria, and
thence into Austria. The departure of Radetzki for
Malghera may have some connection with the move-
ment attributed to General Haynes.
TUSCANY.—Letters from Leghorn, of May 2,
state that the government commission of that town
bad declared the defence of the place limited to the
fortifications. The external defences have been aban-
doned, and their cannon brought in.
The Conciliator et Flacon*, states that skirmishes
occur daily in the environs of Leghorn; that on the
29th ult., a column from that town advanced on the
railroad as far as Calambrone, but were put to flight
there by the aid of artillery, bat that they were ex-
pected to return to the charge on theata following,
better armed and provided, for the alle purpose of
regainiog possession of the artillery an muskets that
had been taken from them at Colonel.
The Consul-General of France to the Minister of
Foreign Affairs : "The Austrians have entered Lucca
this morning. They are expected this evening at
Pisa."
A letter from Florence of the Ist of May, published
in the Piedmontese Gazette of the sth ins., my.:
" The news of the French intervention in the Roman
States has created fears lest the Tuscan frontiers
should be threatened. The governmental commission
sent to General Oudinot the Chevalier Lenzoni, to
obtain of him that the forces under his command
should operate so as to protect the Tama frontier as
much as possible.
SICILY.—The Osiris, arrived at Marseilles on the
sth inst., brings intelligens., rid Malta, from Palermo.
The news is dated the 30th ult. Palermo, at that
date, was closely blockaded by the Neapolitan foram.
The Pelermitans were in great anxiety as to the fate
of the five commissioners who had been tent to meet
Filangieri on the 24th. Treason was spoken of, but
no disorders had u yet occurred. The Neapolitan
troops were approaching by land nearer and nearer
to the city, and it was to be blockaded so rigorously
after the the 30th that not a vessel could get ingress
or egress.

trged him to return ; but when be found the com-
=guard really admitted into the arsenal, he shot

TA%hio deapatabse received at Leipsic from

nued his journey with another extra train to Bruns-

THE GREAT MEETING AT COLOGNE.
COLOGNE.—Our ado are to May 9.
a.great meeting of the deputies from the town-
..
of the R -ek province was held on the Bth,
ral— noble hall of the Casino in this city. The
deputies, alter a long and animated discussion,
of a declaration to the effect thai
lege the Gamma constitution voted
by the Frankfort Assembly as binding; that during
the conflict originated by the Prowl= government,
they will take the part of the National Assembly.; that
they urge all the inhabitants of the Rhine land, par-
ticularly all persons capable of bearing arms, _
to expires their determination to abide by
the decisions of the National Assembly ; that
that assembly be invited to take imme-
diately all necessary steps far giving unity and
strength to the opposition of the people to
the couter-revolution, sad also to order the _
troops of the empire to swear to observe the
einstitestien The declaration, moreover, expresses
the determination of the deputies to the meeting to do
fill is their power to carry out the constitution
in their respective districts ; calls for the dismissal
of ministers and the convocation of the cham-
bers. without any change in the electoral law ;
denounces the calling out of the landwehri se an
unnecessary and dangerous measure, and concludes
by snorting that, if the declaration of the deputies to
the meeting dies not meet with proper attention, the
greatest dangers will threaten the fatherland, and
even Prussia, in its present construction.
It may be added hen that the entire declaration
was agreed to all but unanimously, and amidst en-
thusiastic cheers; and that the concluding sentence
wee understood to allude to the probable separation
of the Rhine province from Prussia, in case the govern-
ment persist mite present and-German and anti-liberal
system. The meeting was perhaps the most import-
ant one ever held in Cologne.
Late on the night of the Bth inst. the chief presi-
dent of the Rhine province drew up a proclamation
(published on the 9th), announcing that the meeting
of the communal deputies yesterday did not possess
any official character ; asserting that the declaration
agreed to mug be looked upon as merely containing
private opinion, and expressing a hope that the loyalty
of the inhabitants will deter them from adhering to
resolnions which contain the ill-concealed threat of
a violent separation of the Rhine province from the
Prussian monarchy, and thus sets forth the prosper
of rebellion and civil war. le conclusion, the presi-
dent hopes that be may not be under the necessity of
emrizing farce.
OVER.—We have intelligence to May 7.
The city was traetriL The king had refused to re-
ceive the deputation from the corporations, and the
members have appointed a permanent committee

—....posaent writes as follows :
BERLIN, KAY 7.
There is a custom in this city, when any important
news arrives, of publishing what they call an extra
leaf, to step in and supply the gap between the morn-
ing and evening papers. Since the Saxon outbreak,
Mita-dozen of these extra leaves appear.daily, which
display Inch a wonderful variety of meaning, touching
every possible note between the highest truths and
the lowest falsehood, that the public remains puzzled
instead of informed, and finds on winding up accounts
that it has laid out its silver groachen to purchase only
doubts, and isnot a halfpenny-worth wiser at the end of
the day than if the wonderful extra blotter had never
been invented. With regard to the affairs of Drubs
this exploitation of the public minority by the gentle-
men of the press has been carried to an unprecedented
pitch, and the latitude of lying has been proportionate
to the diverging zeal of parties. But no one ever
dreamed of the government interfering to put down
the lies of the democratic party while it propagated
its own. It has, however, done so to-day, and all
of these extra-leaves unfavourable to the royal cause
at Dresden have been seized, and their distribution
prohibited under severe penalties. The citizens of
Berlin, at this fresh cuff on the part of the government,
ask whether they are in Prussia, or whether some sud-
den political deluge has not swept them under the empire
of the Czar. The notion of constables and pa•rots of
military snatching out of their hands every morsel of
paper which it does not suit the humour of the go-
vernment they should know, has something in it in-
expressibly offensive to a people of such active minds,
so curious of truth, so passionately excited at the pre-
sent moment about politics. And what can be more
odious, lees politic, than so galling a repression ? But
nothing will be forgotten in the acoonnt which is to
be sled in the end. Let us suppose that the object
of each placards on one side is to lift
the spirit of the nit/a-democratic party, it is equally
undeniable that the aim and result on the other
is to make both the military and civil authcritiea
insolent and overbearing.. This excessive intolerance
indicates a political crime of a very dangerous kind,
in which absolutism is playing for its last stake. But
the unscrupulous tyrany which agonised sovereignty
betrays may possibly have the effect of reconciling the
stomachs of moderate liberals to the rough politics of
their inferiors on the lame side.
The Stoate-Aszeiger contains a protest on the part
of the Premien government against the resolutions of
the Assembly at Frankfort on the 4th, calling upon
the governments, the legislative bodies, the corpora-
floes, end the people of the German states to establish
the German constitution, fixing the 22nd of August
as the day for the meeting of the first reicks-tag upon
the base of the constitution, and the Ist of August for
the beginning of the elections.
Struve, the Hanoverian minister, is arrived in
Berlin.
The Prussian government is in great apprehension

AUSTRIA.—The Vienna papers of the sth inst.

The emperor had gone to t3chrenbrunn. His sud-
den appearance, frem Olmtits, in the capital, had
awed a considerable sensation. It was reported that
