SWITZERLAND.

A letter from Borne, of the 7th inst., says, " At the
moment that the almost total disbanding the brigade
of occupation in the canton of Tessin, allowed a hope
of the surmounting the difficulties between the con-
federation and Radetaki, new complications are
brought to the notice of the central executive au-
thority by the federal commissioners delegated to the
canton of Tessin. _ _

In two despatches addressed to them by the Austrian
field marshal, he complains loudly that the decree of
the federal assembly, relative to the removal of the
Italian refugees, has received only a partial execution,
on account of the permanent presence in Tessin of
the most dangerous of the revolutionary chide,
Maszini, of the continuation of the trade in arms in-
troduced into Lombardy by smugglers, of the propa-
gation of seditious printings and writings, &c., &c.
fhe marshal ends by declaring, tnat so long as his
just complaints shall be unattended to, far from re-
newing his relations with Tessin, he will establish a
most vigorous blockade on all the frontier of southern
Switzerland. _

The Tessinese government thus compelled to ex-
plain itself as to what foundation there was for the
complaints of the marshal, began by ordering the
arrest of Mazzini in case he were really in their ter-
ritory, for all the steps heretofore taken to discover
his retreat had proved abortive. As to what concerns
the sale and introduction of arms into Lombardy, the
Tessinese government replies by a formal denial, but
it has taken measures to prevent the circulation of
pamphlets, &c., provoking to insurrection.

DUCHIES.—The Ptedesonteee Gazette of the etk
states from Modena, lit inst., that on the day before
the men of the light cavalry regiment paraded the
town in patrol., and without provocation fired any
shots, wounding • poor Jew, named Modena, ia the
leg while on Imo way to the poet-office, and coma*.
flag other ants of ferocity, upon which the eleic
guard immediately assembled, and patrolled the city
to prevent collisions. The Austrian commander went
to the staff of the civic guard, and declared he highly
disapproved of the conduct of his cavalry, who h,4
acted thus without his knowledge. In the evening
the municipality assembled, and atter a long discussion
decided they should retire en taese, u well as all the
officers of the civic guard.

Shaftesbury-street, New Nurth-road, formerly a clerk at the
British Banner newspaper office, Bolt-court, Fleet-street,
was charged with various acts of forgery end emb. &element.
Bahia' Pratt, publisher at the Braid& Banner office, said
that the prisoner was in his employ se a clerk for ab .ut two
years, at a salary of 30s. per week. On searching the pri-
soner's desk he found a letter, dated Newbury, Noy. 24,
1849, which had contained a Poshoffice order directed to
witness. On being inked what he had done with it,
he admitted getting the money, and writing the passe of
Pratt on it, and he alsa gave the names of four ether p.rties
who had sent sums, bat denied haying any move. Thno,
however, was not true.
Mr. John HAW, editor of the Patriot newspaper, said he
was present when the prisoner confessed to appropriatieg the
Newbury Post-office order to his own um, and signing Mr.
Pratt's name.
Sir isfil4 Doke asked if any inducement was held out to
the prisoner to wane.
Mr. Hare replied that there was non* whatever.
Mr. Hutton Perkins, clerk in the Post-office paying de-
partment, produced the Newbury order, which he said that
he pail, with the amonnts of four other orders, to the pri-
soner.

The Constantinople mails of the 10th ult., about a

Dardanelles, but no step of the kind had been taken
as late as the 10th ult.

GERMANY.

BERLIN. Deo. e.
Tile excitement consequer-t upon the acquittal of
Waldeck, and which pervaded the whole city until
late in the evening, resulted in some parts in
tumultuous disturbances. In the more dists.nt parts
of the city, which are the virtual strong-
holds of the democratic party, many of the
houies were illuminated in honour of the re-
sult of the trial; but the ciestables forced an
entrance into all the honses so illuminated, and extin-
guished the lights, whereby, of c mere, the most vio-
len-. struggles occurred, and numerous parti€ a were
arrested. In the street, too, in which Waldeck lives
crowds of persons, desirous of testifying their respect
to the acquitted, though in a somewhat noisy fashion,
gradually collected, and several violent scenes oc-
curred, in which the armed power did not hesitate to
use their side arms.
Waldeck was presented this morning with a silver
civic crown, the parties by whom this present was
made are the leaders of the democratic party, of whom
• deputation waited upon him for the purpose of pre-
senting him with it.

Mr. LOW said be thought it would save time if the court
were counted (Cries of No, so," and " Shame.")
The court having been COlLOttil, it was declared that there
were 40 members present.
Mr. Alderman LAWRENCE opposed the isogon. The
corporation was not, he said, in the same position so paro-
chial authorities. It could not employ the powers of the
act. Besides, it was not their office to build baths and
waebhouses for the poor, any more than to set up as shoe-
makers and tailors for tke poor. They were neither gee I
propriete.rs nor water proprietors; and, if they acceded to
this proposition, they might be expected to become fiefs and
fruit vendors. (Laughter.)
Mr. Alderman BALOMONS having replied,
The question was decided by stow of hands. About 25
Imeds were held up in taverur of the motion ; and eight

The notion was scoordiogly carried.

ALGERIA.

The Moniteur Algerien, of the 30:h ult., publishes
the following from Zutche, to the 21st :
Oa the 11th and 12th, two very sharp attacks were made
by the Arabs, one against our post., and another against •
foraging party which had hit the camp. The latter affair
cost the Arabs dear, for they were exposed to the charges of
our cavalry. More than 60 of the Arabs were left on the
field. In the former affair we had 6 killed and 12 wounded,
among whom was Captsia de Tugny, of the Miff, who
had a ball throseh his arm; and in the latter 3 killed and
16 wounded. The success obtained by Colonel Daumas,
which we bare already mentioned, is confirmed. The loss
of the French was 7 killed and 19 wounded. While these
attacks were going on, a sharp encounter also took place
between the troops who were defending the wcrks of siege.
Eke Arabs were driven back with some loss. A convoy,
which was marching between Bithna and Beekara, on the
17th, was met by an as.enablage of Arabs, who attempted to
stop their passage, but they were repulsed, and the convoy
reached the camp in safety. The works of attack are ad-
vancing on each aide, but they have not yet united. The
two heavy guns which arrived on the 12th from Constantine,
were employed on the 12th M. opening another breach on
the right. It is believed that a number of the Arabs in
Z Latch& have not waited for 'IA place to be completely in-
vested, but have lett it in the night Thor. that remain, how.
ever, have lost none of their energy. That of the French
soldiers is unabated. We hope to hear from one moment to
mother of the termination of this obstinate resistance. Se-
veral submissions took place aft- r the affair of the 16th ;
many of the tribes already compromised have drawn back,
and will not further &gums the offensive aira;nst us. The
state of affairs will still remain serious until Zaatcha shall
have fallen, but it must fall before the perseverance die-
' played by our troops, and that event will operate as much in
; our favour as the obstinacy of the resistance has been hither-
to adverse to us. The cholera, which had •howa itself in
the camp, is already on the decline.

JOHN DILLON, Esq , took the chair ; and explained
the objects of the meets,.
Mr. Deputy STEVENS proposed
That this meeting desires to express its unabated eocfi-
deuce in the Great Central Gas Consumen' Company, and

of the City.
Mr. W. of Chapel,
wooded the resolution.
Mr. CHARLES PEARSON, M.P., ad tressed the meet-
ing in favour of the resolution, sad entered into a variety of
calculations to prove that the public might be supplied with
gas of a mood quality, and in sufficient quantity, at the price
proposed by the new company. and at a large remunerative
profit. The how. gentleman went on to prove that the com-
pany had formed their estimate upon a just and correct
principle, and that the terms (soy Is. 40. per tho

rapidly or efficacionsly as is supposed in England.
Various difficulties are soggested by which the juries.
diction of toe commissioners will bo disputed in
many case,. It is regti tied by per'one not interested
in legal d.ltys, that the whole of Sir It. Pesra scheme
was not adopted. A parliament ,ry title given in the
manner which he proposed, would add so much to the
security of purchasers in this country, that
estates world be worth nearly t weuty per
cent. more than when sold under Sir John
Romilly's Act. Tue power aho of purchasing proposed
' by Sir It. Peel would arable the commissioners to set
with a rapidity which it wou'd be vain to txpect
under Sir J. hominy's Act. It is said, however, that
ministers could not show their own incompetency
by adopting all of Sir R. Peel's plan, and thus they
have been obliged to di,figure it, hoping ti make it
pass for their own. On the whole, Vie Dublin law-
yers have plucked up 111.ir spirits within the last few
days, and are in much ti.tter hopis about the ineffi-
ciency of Sir J. Itorcilly's Att than they were at the

val in Paris was announced yesterday, left Rome on
the 2nd inst., at which data no hostilities had Wm-

' milt de St. beta d'An rely arrived at Civita

Freaoh government, hostilities only to be resumed fifteen
days sitar swifts:ion of such refuel.

These proposal. were inedmis-ible, and General
Oudinot refused them. It appears that some d,f-
ferencee of opinion broke oat between the general

tories at Paleyrina and Velletti have forced the tyrant

throw off the yob-, now that the propitious moment
hes arrived, unless they prefer remaining slaves
for ever. A letter, dated the 28th in t., addreisel by
Mazsini to the Roman Aseemblv, confirms the inteli-
race, and adds that the Austrians a e cone ntrated
under Ancona, stating that their advanced vq.:ets
