prosperity, be a firmer bulwark for the throne and for
liberty. His Majesty's ministry will submit to the Diet
everything that remains to be done in regard to the details
of the slready effscted amalgametion of the administrative
body. With regard to foreign relations in the Lombardo.
VeLetian kingdom, where the hostile troops of the King of
Sardinia and some Italian powers have attacked the army of
his Majesty, the war is rot yet terminated. With regard to
other foreign powers our friendly relat'ons remain inviolate;
and his Majesty less questions the continuance of this, since
it his ever been the chief csre of his government not to ne-
glect aoyth‘ng which, without infringing upon the dignity of
the rood throne, the security of his people, and their legiti-
mate interest., might consolidate this amicable understand-
ing. His Majesty entertains no doubt that the national diet,
on the indissolubly corn' ined interests of the royal throne
and constitutional liberty, will, without delay, regulate
everything which is requisite for the welfare of ti e country.
In conclusion I must now fulfil the injunction of his Majesty,
by assuring the I)iet, and the whole of his liiithtul subject+,
of the royal favour and affectionate sentiments of our illus-
trious lord and Meg.
I'RUSSIA.—From Berlin we have the papers of
the 12th, and we have received the following letter
from our correspondent at Colog
COne
LOGNE, July 13.

According to the Neut Itheinitche Zeitung (Cologne) of
this duy the new Vicar of Germany, the Archduke ,John,
arrived on the 10th in Potsdam, where he had an interview
with the King aed royal family.
A motion which will decide the fate of the Prussian
ministry was brought forward on the Ilth instant, in the
Berlin assembly. The real tendency of it is to place that
body and Prussia with it is comple's subjection to the deci-
sions of the Frankfort constituent assembly—a principle to
which the Prussian government is opposed. Up to post
hour the result of the debate had not transpired here.
The Spener Gazette states,that at the court dinner gives
in Beilia on the 7th instant, in honour of the birthday of the
Emperor of ltussia, the King and all the royal princes wore
Russian uniform. Tho central section of the Berlin con-
stituent assembly has declared, by a majority of 6 to 2, in
favour of the immediate admissim of Herr Valienaire, the
member for Tema, who is still imprisoned on the chary of
having taken an active part in the late insurrection in that
city. It is probable that this decision will be confirmed by
the rysembly in pleno. The French minis.er has left the
Prus.iao capital, but the secretaries and ortadns remain.
Mere than twenty persons have been arrested in Berlin on
the charge of rioting during the late march at fresh troops
into that tpPal. Some of the former were armed, and
amongst them were two who were exciting the people to dis-
turbance.
From all amounts it appears that the forthcoming harvest
in numerous parts of Germany will be a very plentiful one.
The progresa of cholera in St. Petersburg and other
parts of Russia has induced the Prussian government
to send circulars to several provincial authorities, containing
instructiima fee their guidance in case the epidemy should
reach Prussia. It is fearfully raging in Russia.
The Frankfur er Journal confirms the intelligence given
in several journals to the effect that the republican party is
actively engaged in Baden in furthering their caws. The
Swabian Mercury states in a letter from Coire (Switzerland)
that the two republican leaders, Struve and Weieshaar,
lately paid a visit to that town, and it adds that the so-called
Germs* legion is in course of active formatioe, in order to
make another coup de main in Germany. The Deutsche
Zeituny (Heidelberg) goes so fur as to assert that the Ger-
man republicans in Switzerland are assisted and encouraged
by natives of various cantons, and complains that the Hel-
vetic confederation suffers the former to continue unmo-
lested their preparations against Germany. It adds that
the German republicans who fled to Switzerland are display-
ing rene wed activity oflate. The last-quoted journal threatens
Switzerland with the vengeance of Germany, if it does not
put a stop to the machinations of the German refugee!. A
democratic (republican') meeting is announced for Sunday
next at Ettlingen (Wirtemberg). The Frankfurter Journal
asserts that the object of the meeting is to make arrange-
ments for an invasion of Carleruhe and for the proclamation
of a South German republic. On the other hand, the Mann-
heimer Abend:eating, of the 11th (the latter is a republican
journal), declares that the contemplated meeting will be
simply a congress of deputies from the democratical unions of
the district. Be that ao it may, orders have been given for
the forwarding of a strong military force to the town in
question. It appears! by the Weinberger Volt:3sloi that
in the Odenwald the republican party is very numerous;
and it adds that the troaps quartered in various parts of the
Duchy of Baden display strong republican tend, ncirs. Front
all these accounts (taken, as you will perceive, from journals
of various and ever contrary politic.tl opinion) it may be
gathered that another republican " move" may be shortly
looked for in Germany.

FRANCE.—THE FRENCH ACADEMY.—Among the
candidates for the seat occupied by M. de Chateaubriand in
the French Academy, mention is made of M. Armand
Marrast. Many of the academicians, however, desire that
the poet Biranger should be at once admitted to the vacancy,
without going through the usual preliminary forms of at-

tendance-. -
DISARMAMENT OF PARIS.—A meeting of the
Mayon of the arrondissements was held on Saturday,
under the presidency of the mayor of Paris. At this meeting
reports were received of the results of the general or partial
disarmarnents in the different legions. The following account
is given of them, and of other subjects of discussion. The dis-
armament was greatly advanced in the Bth legion, and was
going on without sty difficulty ; but in some quarters it was
nut complete. To t ffect this it was necessary to make for-
they searches with the concurrence of the gardiens de Paris.
The Boulevard Beautrarchais remains still to be inspected.
In several places considerable quantities of arms have been
discovered; particularly on the Quai Valrey, where 200
muskets were found in one depot. In the 9th legion, the
disarmament is completed. The magistrates have obtained
7,500 muskets, without reckoning those which after the
fight were found in the houses which were occupi. d by the
insurgents. And yet only 7,086 muskets bad been delivered
out by the authorities. In the 12th legion the operation is
terminated, and a great many more arms have been recovered
than had been regularly given out. In the other arrondis•
semeats, the disarmament& have been only partial. In the
Ist legion, eleven companies have been disarmed, and 1,500
muskets brought in. In the 2nd legion only twe companies
have been disarmed completely, but there were to be also
some partial disarmament' ; but the operation was not
finished on Thursday. In the 3rd legion there were to be
only some partial disarmaments; but some of these remained
to be done, particularly in the streets near the Clos St. La-
sore. In the 4th legion the operation was not finished. One
company had been completely disarmed. In the sth legion
the disarammenta were to be partial, but in this seven or
eight companies are of necessity to be disbanded. In the 6th
legion a complete disarmament of six companies is to be
effected. In the 7th legion the operation is to be only par-
tial. A great number of arms have been found in wells and
on roofs of houses ; and it is expected that a much larger
quantity will be discovered. In the 10th legion the dis-
armament is partial only, and has been made without eny
difficulty. In the 11th legion the operation is not finished.
Four companies were disarmed completely, but the arms have
been partially returned.—in general the disarmament has
not met with any resistance, and has been done with the
greatest facility. We are assured that the meeting recognised
the necessity of a new law for meeting the 'silicas objections
that presented themselves.

Genoa, of the Bth, states that the riedmontese ministry have

whether the war should be carried on to the las', or whether
a temporising policy should be adopted. The ministry pro-
fessed the latter opinion. Gioja and 'fulfill are spoken of as
forming part of the new ministry.
FRENCH GUIANA.—News from Cayenne to the
25th May speaks of the discovery of a plot which bad for its
object the " transportation " of the governor and the other
authorities to France, and the seizure of the government
treasure. The chiefs were men of no standing
.or iolluence,
and, moreover, evinced so little prudence in their plans, that
the authorities got scent of the plot, and prevented its com-
ing to& head.
