authorities.„ and were safely pot on bond the vessel. The
mob, which was immense, seeing the preparations which had
been made to resist any attack, quietly allowed the sheep,
&c., to be embarked. As the National Guard were return-
ing through the Hu* de l'Ecu, a large stone wasthrown from
the third story window of No. 9, the house of M. Alfred,
tailor, but, fortunately, without striking any one of the
guard. The troops were halted, the officer in command
and several of the men rushing into the h',use. The English
lodgers were out, and no one was discovered but the female
servant, and she was in the cellar. Ig aas afterwards found
that the stone had been thrown by one of M. Alfred's ap-
prentices, who was immediately marched off to prison, where
he still remains. Twenty-eight rioters, including several
women, have been apprehended by the gendarmes. They
will be tried, it is expected, to-morrow (Wednesday), when
it is feared some further disturbances will take place. Two
companies of troops of the line have just arrived from St.
Omer and Ardres. General Walderstein, and M. Desmous-
IMMIX de Glare, the Prefet of the Department of the Pas de
Calais, have also arrived at the Hotel du Nord, for the pur-

The whole of the Boulogne National Guard were summoned
to assemble on Sunday, for the purpose of their being in-
troduced to their newly-elected officers. The affair, how-
ever, was postponed in consequence of Colonel Sansot not
being able to be present, on account of the injuries he sus-
tained at the former riot, by being wounded on the head

with a stone."
GERMANY. Under the head " London," the
Augsburg Gazette of the 28th has the following : " On Mon-
day last, the three protecting powers of Cracow communi-
cated to Lord Palmerston the news of the incorporation of
Cracow with the Austrian dominions. The noble lord re-
plied that he would inform the cabinet of the fact that very
day, and that in every ease England would protest against
such a measure. Lord Palmerston seems convinced of the
inutility of this step ; he nevertheless thinks himself bound
to make a formal protest, to act conformably to his previous
line of policy. It is said that the noble lord is much irritated
at this new mishap (for it is a mishap for him).
lie fears lest the French, who, however, have
no great respect for treaties, may throw off all
restraint, and attack the order of things in Italy, which
might lead to the most dangerous consequences for Austria
and the peace of Europe; but the projects of the French on
the Po and on the Rhine did not wait for the fall of Cracow,
and that event has not added to their lust of conquests. Give
them the power, and they will seize all they can lay hands
upon on the Po and on the Rhine, without minding Cra-
cow. Lord Palmerston also fears the reproaches of the British
nation, owing to the rupture of the entente cordiale with
France, as the three powers dare not have taken such a
step if it had still existed. But in this he is unjust
both to himself and to the powers. To himself—
as he is not the cause of the rupture of the entente cordiale,
that rupture was evidently caused by the egotistical line
lof policy followed by France. To the powers, because they
had already decided on suppressing Cracow, before the entente
eardiak was menaced. The resolution of Nov. 6is not the
first nor only agreement of the powers on the subject. This
Lord Palmerston is perfectly aware of. He is also aware of
the existence of separate treaties between the three powers
ea the conditioned duration of the republic, the invalidity of
which towards the other powers is not to be doubted. NVe
repeat it, the incorporation of Cracow would have taken
place in spite of a good or a bad understanding between
France and England, and was decided upon without any
regard being taken of it. And it is in the interests of Great
Britain not to quarrel with all the world in an affair the
necessity of which is self-evident, though the manner of
effecting it is blamed both at London and Paris."
FROM THE ELBE, Nov. 22.—Diplomatic persons
maintain that the incorporation of Cracow could not have
taken place without the French government having first
been apprised of it. It is one of the sacrifices made by
Louis Philippe to obtain the neutrality of the northern
courts in the affair of the Montpensier marriage. It may also
he said of the marriage of the Duke of Bordeaux that the
Duke never would have married an Archduchess of Austria if
the entente cordiale bad remained intact. As M. Guizot
withdraws from the English alliance he gradually draws
nearer the head-quarters of the Holy Alliance. Pius
IX. was elected by French influence,: which suggested to
hint the reforms he has taken. As yet Count Rossi is the
confidant of the Vatican, he has also probably persuaded the
Pope that he is not to lose sight of the interests of other
cabinets. Arrangements are spoken of relative to Switzer-
land, for which France proved very accommodating, all
owing to the Montpensier marriage. Though this line of
family policy may momentarily succeed, it may, in a future
not far distant, trouble the peace of Europe. England is
quite isolated in the Cracow affair. After the formal decla-
rations of Lord Palmerston and Lord Lansdowne on the
integrity of the treaties of Vienna, they can only send in
their resignation, for who would risk the dangers of a war ?
But we fear that England will take advantage of the Cracow
affair to declare null some other clauses of the treaty of
Vienna."
In the audience which the deputation of the Bres-
lau merchants had of H. M. the King of Prussia, his Majesty
arsured them that steps had been already taken by the
Prussian cabinet, with that of Vienna, for the continuance of
commercial relations with Cracow on the same footing as has
hitherto been the case ; and this hats tended greatly to quiet
the anxiety felt by the merchants of Prussia and Silesia on
the subject. The transition of Cracow into an Austrian city
is almost imperceptible, as, since 1833, it has been governed
according to the Austrian system.
A Hamburg correspondent writes :—The incor-
poration of Cracow has not caused so great a sensation in
Galicia as beyond the frontier. Since the entrance of the
Austrian troops into Cracow, the idea that the republic had
ceased to exist had become familiar. The declaration of
the ministers in the French and English parliaments that
they had received the assurance from the northern powers
that Cracow was to be maintained as a republic, and that
the military occupation was but temporary, alone served to
make some believe that the Austrian troops would be with-
drawn in time. Since then premises were made of a defini-
tive organisation, and the recent act proves better than
anything else that the present state of politics in Europe,
and especially the violent language of Lord Palmerston,
hastened the measure taken by the three powers. The
peasants of Galicia seem to rejoice that Cracow has been
punished for joining the nobles ; these latter on the contrary
are greatly irritated.
In a correspondence from the frontiers of Silesia,
in the Augsburg Gazette, it is stated : " The revolutionary
movement in Galicia, far from subsiding, has of late dcve•
loped itself considerably. The nobles acted openly. A
meeting was to have been held towards the middle of
November at Cracow, but Wielicza was afterwards
chosen, the surveillance at Cracow being too severe.
The meeting was numerously attended by the no-
bles The pride of the Polish character manifested
itself on this occasion, and it was easy to perceive that
the revolutionary propaganda of Paris had given them
new hopes when the news of the incorporation of Cracow fell
upon them suddenly. The blow was unexpected, it was
thought impossible for England and France to consent to I
such a measure, and more improbable still that the three
powerselare take such a step without their consent. This
changed the whole face of affairs, and consternation drove
away every other feeling, and they broke up in silence. This
event is a new proof of the urgency of the step taken by the
three powers."
COLOGNE, DEC. I.—Mr. Schwarzer, the editor of
the journal of Austrian Lloyd's, who has undertaken the
management of the Overland Indian Meil, vid Trieste,
arrived here this forenoon. The courier took sixty hours to
traverse the distance between Trieste and Mannheim. Mr.
Schwarzer met him at the latter place, and conveyed thence
the deepa•ches to this city in sixteen hours and a half. He
left Cologne by the second train this morning fur Ostend,
where a steamer awaits him. The inhabitants of this city
take a very great interest in the undertaking, and heart ily
wish Mr. Waghorn's efforts success.
STETTIN, Nov. 27.—The Cologne Gazette, of Dec.
2, publishes a correspondence from Stettin in which it is
stated that after the Ist of January, 1847, the duty on the
exportation of all kinds of wood, employed for dyeing, will
be raised throughout the Zollverein from 5 silbergroschen
per cwt. to 10 silbergroschen, consequently 100 per cent. On
the other hand, the import duty will be entirely abolished.
The ship merchants are not over pleased with the increased
duty on the above articles of exportation, as many of them
will suffer severe losses next spring. It may be stated,
moreover, that the duty on the above kinds of wood, passing
in transitu through Russia, has also been raised 100 per
cent. The object is, of course, to keep such useful materials
fur manufacture sin the Union itself. In spite of all its ex-
ertions, Prussia, as the head of the Zollverein, is obliged, it
would appear, to sacrifice commerce, properly called, to the
demands of the manufacturers and to their jealousy of Eng-
land. This tendency on the part of Prussia will necessarily
keep such cities as Hamburgh and Bremen aloof from the
German Customs Union.
lIESSE DARMSTADT, Nov. 29.—During the recent
discussions on civil and religious marriages in the Second
Chamber of the legislature, one of the members warmly con-
demned the practice prevalent in certain parts of Upper
Hesse of demanding considerable quantities of oats as
" presents" from the bride and bridegroom, in return for the
performance of the church ceremony. It has been already
stated in the Express that by a recent law the religious
portion of the marriage ceremony must precede the civil
contract.
WIRTEMBERG.—The Frankfort correspondent of
the Cologne Gazette states that the pecuniary difficulties of
Wirtemberg are on the increase, and that it will be under
the necessity either of contracting a loan under the onerous
terms of 5 per cent., or of issuing paper money, It is 'irged
that the latter step would not prose sufficient to meet the
necessary expenditure for the railways.

The unfortunate rajas of the Greek and Catholic religion
will, in all probability, be the greatest sufferers,
as both parties will levy tribute from them, and
will, as has formerly been the case, be plundered
andill-treated. It is inconceivable that the Turkish govern-
ment, which takes se much pains to provide for the welfare
of its. Christian subjects in the eastern provinces, should pay
so little attention to that of the Christians in the western
