the Amenably in reference to the lets ministerial
alga. A portion of the Assembly consider the party
which surrounds the President personally as hostile
to the republican constitution.
" It is generally stated," says the Prase, " that
M. Wakesky is destined to go to Florence, and M. de
Montessuy to the Hague, as representatives of the
republic ; and M. Napoleon Baaparte is still generally
designated as the intended ambassador at London."
On Christmas-dey, between 400 and 600 persons
oollected at B4doneilla (kieurthe), and paraded a bust
of the emperor through the village, crying out at the
same time, " Vivi, la it. publique Rouge!" The mayor
and the officer in amok:aid of the .National Guard
having interfered, were ill treated. About seven in
the evening the p rturbators lit a large bonfire,
round which they danced, shouted, and gave way
to a thousand extravagencies. The huh-pelt:a
of Luneville and the procureur of the Republic
arrived about four in the morning. Four warrants
to arrest were issued, bat were not executed,
through fear of provoking resistance and leading to
an effusion of blood. In order to clear away a barri-
cade created at the entrance of the village, it was
found necessary to order the troops to charge their
arms. The mayor gave in his resignation. When the
last account left order was restored.

At the Boar's to-day there was a alight fill.

Cabrera has just given, in our vicinity, a bloody and decisive
battle, which cannot he compared to any of his preceding
affairs. This general, at the head of his army of 10,000
men, has completely vatted the army of the Queen, 14,000

The certain gala's results of this action, which was terrible,
are, that four squadmes of cavalry and 1 200 of the how

though wounded in the head by a ball, has gone is pursuit

PRUSSIA.—We have the journals from Berlin of
the 2ei inst. The following army order has been
i.sued by the king :
I wish a happy sew year to my glorious war army, the
line and the landwehr. At the dose of the eventful
year 1849, however, I feel at heart the necessity of
addressing a few words to the army, in tecognitio•
Of ie incomparable conduct durir.g that period. My army
has maintained and even increase I its renown during the
pt.t year, one in which Prussia would have succumbed to
treason and false persuasions unless God had er me to its
assistance. Both the king and the people look proudly
upon the sons of frherland. They adhered to their loyalty
at a tines when 'edition prevented the peaceful development
of the liberal institutions to which I was desirous of leading
my people; they adorned their colours with fresh laurels
when Germany et* d in need of our weapons in Schleswisk ;
they vietesiourly withs ood titian, and &sneer when com-
bating the insurrection in the Grand Duchy of Posts; sad
their aid in mainteinirg. wee in South Germany gained
fre'h honour for the Prussuin names. And when, finally, cm
‘l, aunt of thr laws being endangered Inoue own tatherlend,
It was found rs quisite to call out the armed force. and to eon-
sok, the landwehr, the brave members of the latter jay fully
lett house and home, wise and childrer, and both
the line eel the landwehr justified the confidence
I had placed in them' and the admirable orgenisarion
winch the army had received from the late king.
Everywhere has the army done its duty. But even higher
than those deeds I Once the conduct which the army has
Omni d during the months in which it quietly opposed its
excellent soirit and noble st de of discipline to insults, ca-
lumnies, and seductions. I knew my army ; and when I
c don it. it stood nosey, in the plenitude of its loyalty
and its discipline. Marc than this could not be done by the
tro•ps in Protein's most g4-rims epoch. In my own same,
and that of father'and, I thank the generals, officers, and
private soldiers of the standing amp and the landwehr.

Potsdam, Jan. 1.
It appears by letters from Schleswick-Holstein that
the Central Executive of Germany has addressed an
ultimatum to the Dai.ish government respecting the
a aembling of Danish troops (considerably over the
number allowed by one of the articles of the seven
months' truce) in the Wands of Alien and Arroe. All
the Holstein soldiers who are out on furlough have
received orders to repair to their respective quarters.
The budget for 1849 was issued on the let inet., signed
by the king, and counteraigno d by Kiihne' for the
Minister of Finance. The receipts for 1849 are esti-
mated at 88,366,382 fix dollars; extraordinary
usenet., 5,609,000; total, 94,174,380. The expendi-
ture is estimated : current expenses, 88,506,061 rix-
dollars ; extraordinary expenses, 5,668,319 ; total,
94,174,380. The expenditure, in 1848, amounted to
85,623.739 rix-dollars ; consequently, the budget of
1849 is estimated at 8,5543,611 rix-dollars higher than
in the preceding year.
The royal pawnbruking establiihment of Berlin has
instituted a savings bank, wherein parties who have
pledged any articles may pay in small sums bearing
interest proportionately equal in amount to that de-
mandtd on the pledges. It will be seen that this
savings bank answers a double purpose it will
aff,rd the poor a better opportunity of redeeming
their property, and will considerably lessen, if it will
not do away altogether, with the rate of interest upon
the money lent to them. Moreover, the expenses for
the sale of non-redeemed property Lave tern reduced
one-half. An extraordinary act of suicide was com-
mitted a few days ago in Erfurt A soldier,
who had been degraded from the rank of a non-
commissioned officer, placed himself in front of a
12-pounder, and blew himself to pieces. One of his
arms
was picked up in a public square in the tows.
The ball in its progress considerably damaged five
houses.
FRANEFORT.—The Constitution Committee al
the National Assembly has in plow declared in favour
of the election of an " Emperor of the Germans"
from amongst the reigning princes of Germany. The
question respecting hereditary descent is reserved for
the present. According to the plan of the above com-
mittee, the future emperor is to have a civil list, and ie
to possess all, but not more than, the privileges of the
sovereigns of strictly constitutional states. The coma-1
mittee also propose the formation of a cour.ol of the
empire, to be composed of the plenipotentiaries of the
various German states and free cities. It is said that
Lord Brougham has arrived in Frankfort.
AUSTRIA.—We have letters and journals from
Vienna up to the 30th tilt.
The financial deficit for the year 1848 is forty-three
millions and a half of florins C.M., the expenditure
having been 156 millions, and the receipts only 112
millions and a had r. The state, moreover, has incurred
extraordinary liabilities to the amount of 23 millions
and a half, so that altogether it has to cover a deficit
of 87 millions of florins.
It is asserted ins proclamation issued by the Go-
vernor of Vienna, that "a club of evil-designing
knaves" has been formed for the purpose of storming
the bastions by night and of spiking the cannon
placed thereon. The governor (Field-Marshal Wel-
don) adds that, should any attempt of that kind be
made, all the troops in garrison will be ready to act
at a quarter of an hour's notice (the alarm to
be given by three cannon shots), and informs
the public that the sentinels have received
orders to fire on all persona approaching the
fortifications by night and in a body. It appears
that the conspirators are distinguished by wesrug
black feathers in their hats. All persons found wear-

iog mit emblems, or glazed beads, or white backlog
is their bats, ars immediately melded.

INDIA.

THE OVERLAND MAIL.

We have received intelligence from Bombay to the
3rd December.

The following is from the summery of the Bombay
Timm:

At the date of our last, the troops which had crossed
the Raves had been directed to advance, and we have
now sasembled on the Chensub, under the immediate
command of Lord Gough in pence,an army of 20,000
men, with 70 pieces of artillery—including three re-
giments of dragoons, five of regular and four of ir-
regular native cavalry, seven troops of horse and as
many companies of foot artillery, with five hone,
bat-
teries, four regiments of European, and 15 of native
infantry. These are expected to advance to the north-
ward in two divisions, in quest of an enemy. One
body of insurgents, about 15,000 strong, are said to be
posted a little way beyond the Jhelarn. under Share
Singh and his brother, and a brother of Moolraj ;
Chuttur Singh is somewhere near Peshawar.
The troops at the last-named station have mu-
tinied. Major Lawrence and Lieutenant Bowie
were obliged to seek safety in flight : they are
non in Rohm. The troops in Attock remain
f..ithful, and Captain Abbott is still able to hold
his own in the Hasareh country. Of the Jame°
division, under Colonel Steinbach, we have heard
nothing since our last. After some days of severe
skirmishing before Mooltan an attack was made
on the field-works established near oar camp, and
by the fire from which our troops had been for
some time greatly annoyed. The arrangements seem
to have been admirable—the conduct of the troops
beyond all praise. The enemy were broken and
driven back at all points—five of their guns re-
training in our hands. This occurred on the 7th Nov.
Since then everything has remained as formerly. The
fiat portion ef the Bombay Column, above 7,000
strong, will 24 guns, left Rorer) on the 21st
ultimo' and would be all on their upward march
within a week afterwards; they would probably
reach Mooltan between the 12th and 20th instant.
A detachment, consisting of the 3rd N.L, Turn-
bull's battery, and WO of Jacob's Horse, bad got
as far as (loch, but when within a week's
march of Mooltan were directed to halt. All the
troops now in the field, amounting to above forty
thousand in number, excluding Whish's army and
the garrison at Lahore, and including some 15,000
of our allies, seem in excellent health and the
highest spirits. It is doubtful whether an operation
of importance will be commenced until all our troops
shall have arrived at their posts.
The following particulars of the progress of affairs
before Moulton is taken from the Bombay nmes
According to our last accounts there bad been some
severe skirmishing around Moolten betwixt the let and 3nl
of November. Of this we were hardly able to give a notice
—we bad not then been fuel-heel with particulars. The
ineurgents, having about the beginning of ehe(month estab-
lished • battery in a 'deep watercourse within the range
of the camp cf Edwardes and Cortlanit, opened a
fire cn our cllies, which, though distant, was annoy-
ing to them ; sad General Whish accordingly deter-
mined to construct a battery a mile or so in front, command
ing the Hank of the enemy. This was armed with two
la-pounders, two howitsers, and four mortars, which played
on the insurgents at the distaece of 900 yards with consider-
ehle effect. Captain Maitland and some of the men of the
32nd were cut down, by falling in with some of the enemy
who pretended to be our allies. At daybreak on the
51, the working party returned to camp, when a heavy
are, v,L.eh coutieued ell day, was opened from the
trenches. As usual, the superiority of the matchlock
over the nvisket was obvious, and the enemy were
this- to pia off our men at distances at which our shot never
reached teem ; yr t they had no bullets, but rough sings of
lead i.e their gun.. Instead of bombshells they fired pewter
canisters from their mortars. The cannonade was resumed
on the morning of the 6th, and the guards at the &deemed
post had some severe skirmishing with the enemy, who came
feint and dared :them to advance. Under such an insult
es this, the stem were not to be restrained ; thrice they threw
themselves on the enemy, and thrice they drove them hack
in eh/order. In these encounters ten sepoys were killed,
and 13 Et.: up:ans kills d sr wounded. This state of
matters could not long be suffered to endure, and on the
evening of the 6th, accordingly, two brigades of infantry
war) ...ssattS.l t. impale met morning for an attack. These
weaken of. 1,400 each, one under lid.ut.-Colonel Franks,
commanding 11.14. 10th Foot, the other under Lieue•Cal.
Broeke, H.el. 3.ied Foot. and GOO cavalry under Major
Wheeler, with Anderson's troop of horse artillery ; the
whole under Brigand.? Markham. It was resolved that
they should move out an hour before daylight, to the eastern
aide of the nullah that flanks the allied camp, and, making
a circuit, take the enc_mped position in flotk, Meier
E4warier's force at the seine tlme nuking a corresponding
advance down the stelae (Wolle Diabomed's canal) on its
western side, mannieg the advanced post. To leave the
British at liberty for the flank movement and defence of
their urn uauth, it was arranged that the heavy guns and
Cre aid be withdrawn, except two H. A. guns
that remained in the redeuht coreer of the position, Lieut.
Pollock being sent to occupy it with the Kuttermukhee regi-
ment of Certleedt's force. 1,000 of Lieut. Lake's men, and
s;Jo of Major Ed ward. a's irregulars. About 11 p.m. (Gth) this
detachment t ,ck up their gerund, but had not long been
there whim six comp Mies of Cortlandt's regiment, in feet,
all the I'uoebeeas of the corps, went over in smell detach-
ments to the enemy, leaving Lieutenants Pollock. Patton (of
the Encince»), and Bunny (of the Artillery), to congratu-
late themselves on not having been attacked before they went
over, ,r been carried over es prisoners to Moolraj. The deser-
tion of noun encouraged the enemy, who came on shouting
to the rest of the men to follow the example of their bre-
theta. Lieutenent Bunny, who was in charge of the two
guns, immediately sent up to camp for hie hones and
remitnetnents. The codling and inlying picquets of the
right brigade (two companies of European and tour compa-
nies of native infantry) wcut down to the post, the British
officers (Lieuta. Pollock, Patton, and Bunny) remelting
firm at their posts, notwithstanding their critical position.
The deurtion of one rut of three regular regiments, on which
the allies depended as their principal support, coupled with
i.ee t. p.cesiLe effect that the absence of all reinforcements
Ices SA, de and Ferusepoor must have had on General
Whish's force, certainly placed him in a critical position
that morntog, as be could no longer depend on the
co-operatioa of the allied fern, and bad not men enough
for offensive operations on two sides ; while it became, at the
same time, evident that sometbieg must be done to lower the
spiriu of the enemy, and raise these of tie British and allied
troops. To mend the matter, news bad on that day been
received of the defection of the Nakuru, troops. Day broke
la this position of affairs, and there was no longer any chance
eute.rse. An order was therefore given to the men to cook
and make a light meal, and be ready at half-put nine, a.m.
1. bey hid hardly commenced ween news arrived that
Maier lidwardes's camp was attacked in force by the enemy,
had outflanked his batteries. They were, however,
eventually driven back with great loss, after a longhanddo-
hand fight, by the regular regiments (those that remained
staunch), who behaved very well. In the midst of this melee
the British column. moved to the rescue, and were in time to
eenfirm the allied foree in the sprits they had gained by
their mecusful tormenter. They waited on the eastern
sWe of ti.. c.eel to form their columns, made a detour
te the right, and west in at the enemy, cavalry and
brae:re ernalaffeg one another. Battery after battery was
taken, with trilling logs, and all the enemy's guns were
token possemion of. It is a satisfaction to know that the
enemy had suffered severely in the attacks. The leader of
the recusant regiment that went over in the night was amotut
the slain, and Berne Singh, the commander of the cavalry
w he aesertedVansAgnew, was mortally wounded. It is hoped
the 'nun of Scorutheind will lest the enemy till reiniorce-
meets arrive. No officers were even wounded, and only two
Eurcpeans killed, three or tour natives and about
La -.Au of ell arms wounded. The irregular cavalry
charged the batteries in their seal, and entered them with
titling loam A troop of the 11th irregular cavalry, tender
Lieut. and Ad j. Matbesoo, charged a one-eun battery, and
took it. Moolrsj himself was in his temple, just concluding
the funereal rites of his lupe err, who Was killed on the 6th,
at the advanced post, when he heard his troops were
runring in. Be called to the enders —" You gave
them the guns, eh ? I thought you promised sae that
by this the whole camp should be moved to Seel ibid. Go
and break your beads with your devices." Tee enemy's
lon en this occasion was afterwards computed at betwixt
500 and 1,000 in all. Our allies under Bdwerdes and
e'ettlaldt behaved most gallantly, but not without suffering
severely in turn. It was remarked u singular, that on the
Teh too last of tke guns which accompanied Agnew aid An-
derson were captured. The action bad been loudly and
ueiverselly lauded: ete had lot on this as on toe many
otter occulons, everything left to brute force—the
ce :thence of our tactics seemed only surpassed by
the conduct of our troops. Brigadier Markham Is
spoken of by all in terms of the highest commendation.
From this time forward nothing of the slightest moment
occurred in camp ; the held works of the enemy were de-
stroyed, and such arrangements made as to prevent their
labor upland. In the intervals of war the sports of
prate vele resumed, and on the 14th, sky races began.
The tint of the Bombs_y detachments will probably
have arrived eh. Nth November, should they
MVO been snoweby d to resume their march from oAli.
The main body cannot be looked for earlier than the 12th
of December, of so seen; sad is seems unlikely that opera-

lions will be messed until all have amembled. Madrid has I
of late bees strengthened by a dwashment from 841111000 1
and is reported to have some 10,000 or 12,00 men under his
command. It is net imagined that be will now giv, io.
Om latest news from General Witistee eansp comes down
to the 20th ult. The thermometer during the day stood at
76 degrees, sad fell dariim this night to 40 degrees; yet,
notwithstanding this greet lunge of temperature, there
was sesecely any alikaws amongst tits troops. The
wounded men were dais( well. On the 13th the enemy
had hews in sight, but had prudently retired without at-
tempting to molest us. A datsit had been forwarded to
Lord Omagh by General With, regarding the stoppage of
the 3rd 80. N. I. on their mush up by Gm. Auchmuty.
There seems much reason to apprehend, says
the Bombay !taws, that we shall, for the pre-
sent, have no railways in India; the court of
Directors seem resolved not to guarantee a dividend
of five per cent., which some parties bad expected
they would have done, besides making good Li risks,
but to ensure this interest on the groat capital out of
which the charges of the railway falls to be taken
should is income fall under the expenses of working.
The Governor-General left Meerut for Saharunpore
on the 23rd ult., in progress to Umballa. The Coun-
tess Dalhousie was at Allahabad on the 18th.
Lord Gough joined the army of the Pun-
*lb near Ramnugger on the 21st. The Gover-
nors and Commanders-in-Chief of Madras and
Bombay are at the presidencies respectively.
The Bishop of Calcutta is at gresent at Bombay
on visitation. The Commander of the Forces at
Ceylon has met with an accident, by which Lis
anelo bone has been fractwed or dislocated. The
government has been compelled to repeal the ob-
noxious gun, dog, and shop taxes. It is expected
that Lord Torrington will speedily be relieved of the
cares of government, and be removed " to a more
extended sphere of usefelnese."—The Nizam of
Hyderabad (Deccan) has dismissed his obnoxious
Minister tioorsj-001-Moolk from office, and ap-
pointed another in his stead. The country is
again getting into a troubled state. Mr. G. A.
Bushby has been appointed Governor-General's agent
at Gwalior, in room of Colonel Bleeman, who has pro-
ceeded to take up the duties of resident at Lucknow.
Throughout India in general tranquillity reigns, and
we have heard of no particular sickness m any part of
the country.
