LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 11, 1849.

The insurgents fled in ell directions, pursued by the Coe
seeks. Tee laws of the Russians is unfortunately very con-
sic. r -big. Among the killed are a colonel of Comeeks and
another ofßeer ; among the wounded, General Dick and
Colonel Wrangel, with newel more ofloars. The enemy
l at 1.000 killed end wounded, wi,h 150 prisoner,, among
whom is Colonel Hiss, of the Seekler hussars. He com-
manded the defence, and lay wounded in the trenches.
Four cannon, a flag, and severs' ammunition and forme
waggons, were taken. At one o'clock the mein
c llama was before Cronstitilt ; and, the minima
of the castle refusing to surrender, there encamped. The
garrison cone4ted of two companies with two cannon, and
the cutle commands the town. On the 21st the castle was
bombarded from • neigh Souring height, with great effect
In the evening came negotiators, who proposed a 48 hours'
truce. This was rejected by General Loden, who promised
security alias to the garrison if they surrendered early the
next morning; if not, storm, with the consequences. At the
appointed hour the garrison surrendered es prisoners of war.

PRUSSIA.—Our oorrespondent writes as follows:
BERLIN, Jar.: 8.
What news there is here chiefly regards prepara-
tions for the elections, in which the democratic party
adhere hitherto to their determination of taking no
pert. The retirement of Radowitz to the baths of
Preienweild has kes political signifiesnee than is cow
m inly supposed. Ile has not lost the Grour of the
kirg, although removed for the moment from his pre-
sence. Radowitz was perfectly aware that the mission
of von der Pfordten really meant nothing, although it
is not common for ministers to undertake such nego-
tiations.

I hear that advantage will be taken of the position
of the Prussians on the borders of Switzerland, to
settle the title matter which has lain over from
the Sundt rbund war with the canton of Neuf-
chateL Although this principality has bean
always rather a source of expense than other-
wise, since it acknowh d.ted Pru•sia as suzerain,
yet the abrupt casting off of allegiance was a deep
wound in the amour propre of the court of Berlin ;
and no account wtll be made of a few extra thalerr, if
the pride of the Prussian crown eon be vindicated by
teclaimiog the emancipated principality. France is
expected to start some objection to Prussian inter-
' ference in Switzerland : neither is England expected
to behold passively the passage of the Prussian troops
ov,r the Swiss border, in case force should be applied
to establish the Prussian claim to homage.
Yesterday being the birthday of the Emperor
of Russia, there was a grand dinner at Sans
Souci, where the membtrs of the royal family, the
Russian ambassador and his staff of legation, and
other people of note, were resent.
Tne Stoats An:eiger of this evening contains a
project of law concernin.c the class and income tax,
which is an important subject for legielation, all the
more as this tax is made te base of the electoral law.

most stocks was very firm, and in some instances
bonds exchanged hands at an advance on the pre-
vious day's prices. Russian Stock has risen 31 per
cent. within the last week, and continues very firm at
to-day's price, 107. The following are the transac-
tions of the day :
Brazilian Bonds at 831 ; ditto, small, at 841.
Grenada, at 164. Mexican, with coupons, at 304 ;
ditto, ex-coupons, at 284 and ; Peruvian Four

In the foreign exchanges negotiated to-day, the
rates on Hamburg and St. Petersburg were a fraction
higher, and 03 Rotterdam I cent. lower. The other
exchanges have not varied their quotations since last
foreign post.
Letters received to-day from Frankfort advise
further rise in the Austrian Metalliques, and the
Five per Cents. were quoted fully 11 per cent. higher
than on the previous day. The Four, Three, and
Two-and-a-Half per Cent. Metalliques were severally
a shade better. The Russian stocks had improved,
and were quoted higher. Praisian were not quite so
firm as on the previous day.
The commercial letters from Constantinople and
Smyrna state that the business in opium at Smyrna
had been very limited, and a few cheats only bad
been :aold at 99 per chdqui. The appearance of the
weather with reference to the next opium crop had
become more favourable. English and Swiss manu-
factures were in current request. The exchange on
London was 1261 to 127.
Sydney papers and letters have been received down
to the 24th March, and from Melbourne to the 17th
March. Owing to the low price of wools, the quan-
tity of goods requ'red for the interior was not so
great as it otherwise migitt have been, and the busi-
ness in that direction was not expected to be
resumed under four to five menthe. Good
beef tallow had realised 311. 7s. to 32/. 55.,
and inferior, 261. 10s. to 29/. per ton. Wool of
superior fleece had reoliud 111 d.; good, 91,r1. to
; inferior, 81d. Wheat, 3a. 6d. to 4s. 4d. ; flour,
101. Some business was doing in execution of orders
f the outports. The exports of large quantities of
dry goods of British manufacture in the caurse of the
summer had greatly relieved the markets of their ex-
cessive stocks. In some of the dietr:c's there were
great complaints of the want of rain. At Demurs,
Camden, and Goulbure, rain had fallen, much to the
grateful joy of the inhabitants, but not in sufficiency,
especially at tho latter place, to ensure winter feed
for the gruziars.
