FItANCE.

PARIS, WIDNISDAT, UALP•PAIIt Frye P.M.
The legitimist and conservative journals notice with
regret the% the majority which &fire the prorogation
voted as one man now shows itself divided. The ma-
jority is certainly less compact than it used to be.
And though M. Bsroche and General Bedesa were
re-elected to the posts they previously occupied, of
vienpresidents, M. Leon Faucher took sissy trOm
them 84 votes. However the legitimists sad conser-
vatives need not grumble, for in the elections of pre-
sidents :or the bateaux and committees, the members
chosen are exclusively legitimists and conservative,.
Some journals stall talk of ministerial changes, and
the Ordre' amongst others, mentions the familiar that
M. Mole had consented to act if called upon without

M. Thiel's.

The Minister of the Interior has found himself

sailer the title of " Rome" at tie theatre of the Porte
tilt. Martin, the first nights of which were marked by
settee of turbulence which did not even cease when
some of the obnoxious tomes were omitted. Time
being no censursoip of ft eitrical pieces, the mioisters
cannot prevent their appearance without a stretch of
authority which M. Defame did not weh to incur on
this °cession. Re allowed the pie,' in qu soon to
be played, and has sow suppressed it as being calcu-
lated to excite to a disturbance of the public peace.
It is stated by the Oasette des Tribunaux that the
proprietors of the theatre are about to bring an action
against M. Dufaure for don.i,ges contained on account
of the soppremion of the play. I doubt a.uch that
the action can be proceeded with.
The following is the text of the expos, des motifs
of the bill relative to the dowry of the Dachau of
Orleats, presented to the Amway by the Minister
of Finances:

- ---
Gentlemen,—The law of March 7, 1t37. allotted to the
Duchess of Ortesna an animal sum of 300,0110:'. by way of
dowry, and the decree of Oct. 26, 1848, authoriehl the mi.
sister of Faisnes to hand aver to the different members of
toe Orleans family the dotal property, dowries, and moveble
property which be had in his pooseseion. Tricia laws raw a
question which it is impartiat not to leave any longer node-

Tiressoae, 610 r re.
sorimlsaas chosen by the bureaux yesterday
b dime ad report upon the ministerial demend of
mete ter the Roams expedition met to-day. Toe
prommedioge are not known, but the debete would, it
was said, be warm. The sentimeuts of the committee
cannot be for a moment doubted. They will propose
that the credits be v,,t4d, and rtoommend the retied
of the French army from Rome. It is 'apposed that
If. do Broglie would be chosen as reporter.
Already the debates on the Roman qut elms, which
took place in the bureaux yesterday, end the choice
made of their commissioners by ascii, sufficiently
show the feeling that pervades the majority. The
committee is composed of MM. Theriot de la
Rosidre, de Montalembert, Hubert Mee. Ge-
neral Otadinot, Bouenot, Salmis!, Thiess, VOtor
Hugo, de Urea", Hey de Is Moskowa,
de Casablanca, General d'Hautpoul, Mole, and
de Broglie. It was evident at once in all the bu-
reaux that the chief point of ditsent was the dura-
tion of the Roman expedition. The two parties,
In presence of each other, supported on the one hand
the opinion that the army of occupation should on-
copy Rome, and remain there till concestrions in sub-
stance eqdlialent to the demands made by the presi-
dent of the republic should be wean.; (rem the Pope;
on the other that the army should be withdrawn
on the promise of the Pops to extend the
amnesty, without forcing him to further con-
cressioca, but to leave to the goodness of his
heart and to his liberality to grant all in his
power at a future time, and by degrees. Tae latter
opinion, which had the majority, was supported
M. Molt, M. Thies, M. Placatory, M. Beugnot,
Victor Lefranc, and others, whilst oppose& to t- em,
and in favour of the president's leiter, were MA.
Victr Hugo de Casablanca, de la Mookown, Benoit-
, Champy, Pascal-Duprat, Charamaule, Lambit, Char-
ts', The latter gentlemen would only vote the

credits demanded by on Saida if Its
following out the antaimed In tint Wise di le
President of the mpa IL Cushions issonded
bis colleagues of the solemn sagegosesto talon !tt
the ministry that the Mortised the. Roma SOW,
be preserved intact. The Pinsk army cold mat see
the government of absaludis restored. Wm let*
of the president of the sepal& was bat the
reproduction, under a dillerent form, et the
declarations of the ministry in the uninitosatztoe-
gislative assemblies. M. Benoit-Champy
that the Papal mote ptupelo was no esmenden:
temporal and spiritual power of the Pope &sal ban
teen separated; the expedition had esiihimded
them together. Oa the other hand, 111. Thins ex-
pensed his opinion most positively that anifiql
been done for the Romans; that, as Freese
what it went for [this is doubtful), l's foots
to withdrawo. M. Molt thought the troops sdelt,
stay with advantage at Rome until January, and IL
Baroebe steered a Fort of middle coarse, but ameluded
by stating it to be his impression that the expedition
try fora should not leave Rome until more solid
guarantees had been given.
It is evident that the majority of the Chamber are '
opposed to the spirit el the letter of the president,
that the troops will be withdrawn u seen as possible,
sad than will end as expert in in which selysty
the mosey bet the digaity of the French nation will
bare been sacrificed without any result but shame
and loss of political influence. The credits will be
voted, but the ministerial question will be avoided.
It wilt be infallibly brought for yard, however, is-
niediately after, and then the struggle will cosmoses
between MM. Darters and Molt. The triumph of
the latter seems, we are sorry to say, almost mean.
The ministerial combat will probably take place en
the question of M. Demon expenses incurred for
the general safety. The hon. minister has asked foe
and obtained a committee to examine these exposes,
end the d. bate will come on upon their repot.
Meanwhile the Tune'-Russian question has inspired
M. Pussy with fears lest fresh complication might
further embroil the finances of the country. The
measure for liberating the soldiers of 1812 must be
suspended, the loan!, too, may not now be had on
such favourable terms as some time since. All this
is subject matter for much anxiety and annoyance.
It is generally supposed that General Aupick will be
recalled, as his conduct has not been at all as firm as
it should have been. His euceesior is not known •
and thengh M. Duelerc is mentioned, his nomination
is net 1 kely.
The step taken by the government of the United
States with 'eyed to the Frenth chargé, M. Petunia,
may prevent the departure of M. Nlsrrest for Wish-
ingtun, to which place he had been definitively ap-
pointed. Whilst on the subject of diplomatic changes
I may inform you that a Mr. Newman is spoken of
as future minister at Bru.sels. M. de Montessay
Taken of for Holland. This latter appointment is
nut likely to be definite, es M. de Tocquevills is ep
posed to it.
It was positively stated to-day that the English
government had forwarded a note, which would be
j.,int with that of France, approving the conduct of '
Tulle), in the matter of the Hangarian refugees, and
assuring the 'Turkish government of support.

AUSTRIA.—The following is our correspondent's
letter
VIENNA, Barr. 29.
Our correspondent sends of this date a postscript
to his letter of the 28. h, in which be stye :
There is no doubt of the surrender of Comorn.
The way it was managed was this. Haynan would
not hear of any terms, while Radetski was for grant-
lag an amnesty. Haynan apparently carried his
Oat, and set off in triumph to attack the for-
tress, take it, as he said, and hang all
within. Bat no sooner was he gone, than
Radetski exerted himself, and obtained from the
Emperor the conditions which the go/risen required.
These are an amnesty, 800,000 florins for the notes
within the fortress, and passports for those who wish
to emigrate. Thus bas Hayoan been disappointed of
his butchery, perhaps of his defeat, and the peaceful
surrender of Cumorn secured. Radetski has also
obtained the assurance that the extradition of Kos-
suth by Austria will not be insisted on. This, too,
was a point with the garrison of Comoro.
There have been disturbances with the artisans
in Inn, and indeed all the working claws meditate

The Pope's manifesto of the 12th instant from
Partici is the subject of universal discussion. I
am happy to say that here them reigns among all '
parties but one feeling of disapprobaticn, with regard
to the scheme of polity wit'l which the father of the
church menaces the Mates motored to his away, and of
, regret to see the prince who spontanenuply took .he
'1,44 in tlte liberal movement throughout Europe now
lateng behind the meet reactionary.
The news of the capitulation of Comorn, contained
in the morning papers, has been cfficiAlly confirmed
to-day by a supplemt nt to the Vienna Oesette, in the
following words :—" Arcording to official accounts
that have arrived from head-quarters at Ace, the gar-
rison of Comorn has declared itself willing to capitu-
late. The r avigation from Vienna to Faith will be
opened on the let of October."
The It iener Zeilen y of the 30th ult. contains the
official announcement that M. Hubner, formerly ge-
neral-consul in Leipsic, has been appointed ambawa-
doe extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary to the
French republic.
PRUSSIA.—Our correspondent writes:
BERLIN, Ocr. I.
It has been hitherto a ciliation whether the confe
rences for the conclusion of a definitive treaty of
pace with Denmark should take place in London or
Berlin. This question has just been decided in favour
of the Prussian capital, where the negotiations will
shortly open. M. von Reels, the late Danish commis-
sioner, has been recalled and will be replaced by M.
von Pedalo-
Oeceral Von Bonin, the commander of the Schles-
wig-Holstein corps in the late war with Denmark,
has been for the last week in Berlin, where he has un-
dertaken the miesion of representing the views of the
Schleswig regency (not the commission, but the
Statthalterschaft) for the disentanglement of the
confusion which prevails in the administration of the
duchy. I understand that ha is on the point of re-
turning without having effected the object of his
icurney, or, at least, without having obtained any de-
cisive results. For the present, however, the general
is detained by a painful accident which has dislocated
his ankle.
The Prince of Prussia arrived yesterday in Wei-
mar. Jitter a short stay, he will return to Frankfort.
The sloe of the negotiations about the central power
is a profound mystmy. Meanwhile a note has lust
been received at Berlin from the government of Wurt-
temberg, definitively d' dining to have anything to
do with the Dreik6stgebund. Saxony is expected to
withdraw next And then so doubt the Prussian
• government will declare that it has done its best to
• succeed is teeming a federal state; but, all the larger
states having either backed outof the scheme or turned
their backs upon it, to call the Reichstag under these
circumstances would wily be to throw difficulties in
• the way of settling what has now growl to be a more
• important question than the narrower league--
• namely, those mutual relations of the great German
• States which ere to replace the links of the old eon's-
• deratioe, that merged fn theoentral power.
• Orients 2.

I have an important gen of news tosen---cfyon on
the Osrmaa gumeti/AL Th. Prussian and Austrian
governmeets have just appointed two commissioners
on either side, and little doubt is entertained of their
comrog to an amicable arrangement. These com-
missions have instructions to proceed in their task
with the utmost diligence, at least those on the
P. avian side. As every . hour of delay gives to
Austria mon of her old weight in Germany, I cannot
state with the same confidence that the representa-
tives of the latter power are instructed to use equal
dispatch.
A debate of some interest has taken place yesterday
and to-day in the First Chamber upon a subject of
the highest importance —religions liberty. Tee 11th
article of the oetroyed constitution was so conceived as
t, leave a loophole for the destruction of this guano-
to e by granting the freedom of religious association
order referee°. to another article (the 29th) of the
conNtitation, which rovides that the conditions neer
which corporative rights are granted or withheld are
to b. fixed by a law. The committee exprieged this
reC elne. and the house has to-day confirmed the
motion of the committee, greatly to the annoyance of

the mcial education of the people. The abuse which
Manteuffel bestowed upon the Handwerkers-Verein
upon that mcasion was the prelude to its members
being worried asunder by constables, as they were
last night, ter they had met to spend their evening
in a sociable, rational manner. The grounds fur the
attack in parliament against the Berha Mechanic.'
Institute were, that certain individual members had
bten heard to use violent language against the go-
vernment.

PRUSSIAN FREEDOM.
COBBBN, Sari. 28.
Como, you are aware, isa watering-place for *aline
baths, near Nuremberg, mach frequented by Prus
sians, and exceedingly pleasant and gay. You know
my intention of spending six weeks there, which I
have done, and should scarcely trouble my friends to
write about it if a circumstance that happened almost
under my own eye was not highly worth publication.
Amongst the guests here who put up at the same
hotel as myself, of the Ifilaiger Ritter, or Bold Cava-
lier, which wits well call the Sehmutsiger Ritter, for
what reason I leave you to guess, was M. Maurice
Sehleswiger and his family. He is well known as a
musical editor and proprietor of the Gaunt Masi.
eels in Paris. At the gable cr h 6 le, M. Schleswiger,
imagining himself is all the freedom of Paris,
allowed his tongue the liberty of speaking his opinion
et the Hiegel' Prussic, who, he said, had forfeited Lis
word, and committed divers political wrongs. Un-
fortunately for M. Schleswiger he was overheard by
a lady present, one of the match of honour, or female
chamberlains, to the Queen of Proses. She exclaimed
against what Schleswiger said, and, as be persisted,
playfully said she would denounce him.
Next clay was a concert in the public garden, where
M. SeLleswiger came with his family, and where he
was instantly surrounded by a band of Prussian
officers, she t rld him to leave the garden, and icsulted
him. M. Sohleswiger in vain sought to resent it. He
was arrested, kept in confinement, and sent finally
lo the Mats Dolorosa u the prison of Nuremberg is
called, where he was kept for a week, partly on the
plea that the Prussian officers would slit his nose for
talking ill of the king. lie was finally liberated,
on giving a bail of 3,000 dollars to appear
in November before the court at Nuremberg when he
will be tried for treason. M. Sehleswiger will pro-
bably imitate Lola Montes before the London justice,
and forfeit bail I mention to you the circumstance
as it happened, in order to point out the p ssinle in-
conveuieuce of liberals frequenting Prussian watering
places.
BADEN.—RASTADT, SEPT. 29.—0 n the previews
day Professor Kinkel had his sentence read to him,
which condemns Lim to imprisonment in a fortress
for life. He was then taken to the railway to be
I escorted to a Prussia,: fortress, under a strong escort
—the account says, oft whole battalion of Laudwehr.
FRANKFORT.—Latest newt to Oot. 1.
Thanks to the vigorous end peompt measures
taken yesterday and the day before, the public peace
has not been di-turbed to-clay; the heavy tramp of
the patrols was heard each night till shoat 12 o'clock.
It is now quite oertato that a greet part of the officers
share the feelings of the wen, consequently the Bova-
dans have received orders not to come heroes the
bridge to Frankfort, the Austricns and Prussians on
the other hand not to go across it to Sacheenhansen.
All continues quiet as yet.
The C nnstatuent Assembly was busy to-day in dis-
cussing the qaeation relative to the presence of
Pm.= troops in the city, and the disgraceful out-
ines and riots that had taken place between them
and the Bavarians. It has demanded to know fr im
what authority or quarter the order issued for billet-
ing the Prussian troops on the inhabitants, and what
steps bad been taken to effect the withdrawal of
them. The mayor, who is President of the Senate,
replied that this latter administrative body had in-
formed the Prussian authorities of its refusal to conti-
nue lodging the Prussian troops during the ensuing
winter, and had protested against the eventual inten-
tion of a military occupation of the city by the
Fruition troops.
scurzeWlG-HOLSTEIN.—SErrranza 26.—1 t
is now confirmed that the Prussian governor in Eek-
ernfiirde hir refused to d& liver up the Oefion. Ac-
cording to the Mirth German Free Preis he has de-
clared that the Gefion must he:considered as the pro-
perty of the King of Prussia, and any self-authorised
attempt to remove it front Eckernforde would be tan-
tamount to a declaration of war against Prussia.

lONIAN ISLANDS.—The Lord High Commis-
sioner has by a decree, dated Sept. 14, prorogued the
parliament from the sth of October to the lit of next
November. The tree cams of the insurrection in
Cephalonia are not known, so at least we are informed
by the Indepetedonce Beige, of Oct. 3.
A letter from Cephalonia, in the Constitidimenel,
says:
The lord high commissioner hu ordered the transporta-
tion of three Cephakmian loanable& is this small Wands of
Cerigotto sad rano. Five prisoners, among whom is the
priest Zspnadi, have been bang; the two prinalpid leaders
have not yet been wrested, although a reward has been
offered for their apprehension. The punishment of flogging
has been applied to a peat number of insurgents. This igno-
minious punishment has gamed great exasperation ; them
who have boss =bleated to it eionaider thenaseleso as die-
honoured, and several *Mem loudly dissuaded to be pet %o
death. 11 is said that the inhalitsans of a vilLpo, on seeing
their priest dogged, gave vent to the loudest expecesious
of grief and rage. In general the nuns of repression which
have been made um of are considered barbarian and exces-
sive, particularly that of levelling the home of the priest
Nodare.
