GERMANY.

Nothwitlotanding the protests of France and
England against Austria's desire to incorporate her
non-German states, and in spite of ltussids views.

as •stated in the letter of our Frankfort corre-
spondent, it is stated, in letters from Vienna, that
Prince Schwarzenherg has addressed a new circular
to the two first-named powers, asserting more for-
cibly than before Austrias right to the step in con-
templation, and the right which the Confederation
possesses to refuse all foreign intercession.
The Austrian loan is decidedly to be issued in
paper.

FRANKFORT-ON IllE-MAINE, Aro. 21.
at is nut exactly correct that the Emperor of Rus-
sia haiiintimated his intention of joining the English
and French governments in their protest against the
incorporation of the non-German provinces of Aus-
tria. 'rho Czar has merely caused a despatch to be
addressed to the cabinets of Berlin and Vienna, in
which he requests that the question may not be dis-
posed of without due deliberation, and that proper
attention be paid to what he considers a justifiable
intervention on the part of the English and French
governments. The motive of the Emperor of all the
Russias in thus taking part against his imperial
ally can be discovered without much search. Ito
fears that the Austrian centralbuttion plans will, if
at all successful, render the government of that em-
pire so powerful, that it will no longer need the
assistance of Russian bayonets to maintain itself,
and will, moreover, add so overwhelmingly to the
power of Austria in Germany, that Russia must lose
all the advantages which she has acquired by hold-
ing the balance so long between two nearly equally
strong powers, and will be compelled to side with
the weaker.
I have received fresh confirmation of what has
been previously reported respecting the evacuation
of Holstein by the federal troops. The cabinet at
Berlin has sanctioned the proposal of Prince Schwar-
zenberg, that the Austrians shall remain until ac-
ceptable proposals respecting the administration of
the affairs of the duchy shall have been made by the
Danish government. I am assured that what the
Austrian premier considers to be " acceptable pro-
posals. have already been made, and that when some
minor points shall have been settled the troops will
be withdrawn, and Holstein abandoned to the mercy
of the I lanish government. The nature of tlwse accept-
able proposals has remaincda secret as yet. Only a por-
tion of the Austrian troops are to be withdrawn from
the north; the rest will remain in Hamburg and
Lubeck, the consent of the Prussian government
having been obtained by a skilful employment of the
biedwar of revolution. Both these free towns are
said to be the head-quarters of the most influential
'of the German revolutionary party, who are said to
be working with greater effort than ever before to
ruin the existing governments and overturn monar-
chical institutions. A federal resolution will be pro-
cured here, to sanction the continued occupation of
Hamburg and Lubeck; and it need not be doubted
that the protests of the senates of these cities will
be rejected, and the occupation defended as necessary
on military grounds. ith such an example before
their eyes, the petty sovereigns of Germany must be
exceeding careful to avoid giving offence to Austria
and Prussia, or to the Diet.
The Danish government, the Preitssisehe Zeitung
says, has sent a secretary of legation, M. Ilageman,
to Vienna, to pear that the Austrian troops may be
withdrawn from holstein. The answer of Prince
Schwarzenberg is—that the matter does not belong
to the Austrian government, but to the Diet, so that
the secretary may go home with a flea in his ear.
VIENNA, Aro. 15.
The evacuation of the Danubian provinces by Rus-
sia-41 fact which has scarcely been noticed by the
foreign press—shows clearly enough that Russia has
no intention, or rather no power, to invade Turkey,
and theretore she withdrew as soon as the Porte
claimed the evacuation, though the last treaty gave
her the right of intervention in Moldo-Wallachia for
the whole period of seven years. The Wallachs, as
well as the Serviaus, are now entirely anti-Russian ;
and the Turkish army is at least as well organised
and surely better fed than the Russian soldiers.
Turkey has nothing to fear from external foes; but
the intrigues of European diplomacy can destroy her
power by insidious advice, and continual meddling
with the affairs of the realm.
Whilst writing this letter, I get the news that
Countess Blanca Teleki, the sister of Madame
Galindo, has been sentenced by court-martial, and
condemned to eight years imprisonment, for political
offence. We do not know in what consisted the
er political offence of the countess.

CIIARGE OF FRAUD AND CONSPIRXCT AT BRIGHTON.
—On Saturday, at one o'clock, this case again came before
the Brighton magistrates for bail on the part of the prisoner
Broome. Mr. Sill, of 2, Tavistock-row, the solicitor for the
prosecution, said that he had received notice that Mr.
ILenry Biugham, of 19, Ityder's-court, Leicester-square,
and of Priucess-place, Wandsworth, auctioneer ; and Mr.
Hart, of 81, Regent-street, tailor, would be proposed as
bail on the part of the prisoner Broome. Hehad, however,
received a communication from Mr. Lewis, the attorney fur
the prisoner, that Mr. Bingham was not in attendance;
and that Mr. Hart, though in attendance, would not be
proposed. Mr. Lewis, however, had proposed that Mr.
M'Laren, of whom previous notice had been given on
Thursday last, should, with himself, become bail for
Broome. No exception could be taken to the bail of Mr.
Id•Laren, and he could not venture to suggest any reason
why Mr. Lewis should not be accepted. The Chairman
(Mr. P. Carpenter) thought that Mr. Sill had acted with
sound discretion in the matter. Bail had been proposed
which ought not to have been proposed, and upon full in.
quiry, after due notice, that bail had bean rejected. Bail
was now proposed, which was admitted to be without ob-
jection, and to which, according to the official reports sub-
' mitted to the bench, no objection could with fairness be
taken, and, therefore, the proposed bail would be accepted.
Mr. M'Laren and Mr. Lewis having entered into the re-
- recognisance', an officer was despatched to Lewes

AMERICA.

ARRIVAL OF THE NIAGARA.
Yesterday afternoon, at half-past 1, the Royal Mail
steam-ship Niagara, Capt. Stone, arrived in the
Mersey, having left New York at noon, on the 13th
inst. She brought the usual mails from the United
States and British America, with 74,0001. sterling in
specie, 6:1 passengers, and a good cargo of merchan-
dise. Since the departure of the last steamer the
following steamships had arrived at New York from
I Europe : The U. S. Mail steamship Arctic, front
Liverpool, arrived on Monday morning (Aug. 11),
about 7 o'clock, having made the passage in 11 days
and IS hours. The Royal Mail steamship Africa,
from Liverpool, arrived on Tuesday afternoon
(Aug. 12), about 6 o'clock, having made the pa,sage
in 11l days and 5 hoar:. The U. S. mail steamship
Humboldt, from I lavre. arrived on Tuesday
(Aug. 12) evening, at half-past S o'clock, having
made the passage in about thirteen days and a halt:
The news brought by the Niagara, although six
! days later than that previously received by th::.
America, is not of political importance, the chief
topics of interest being still the affiths of Cuba and
California.
There have been two arrivals from Cuba at New
York since the sailing of the last steamer for
Europe. The bark Nacoochee, which sailed from !
Neuvitas, Calm, on the 25th ult., and the steamship !
Georgia, which left Charges on the 27th ult., and!
Havannah on the 2nd inst. Great excitement existed
in Havaneah at the time the Georgia sailed, owing to
the reception of the news of the meetings held by
the citizens of New Orleans in favour of liberty and
independence. It was rumored that armed forces
were gathering in the Florida Reef, and that part of
the fleet had been' despatched in that quarter. The
government paper had been printed two days, and
it is said to have contained some exciting news from
the interior, but its issue was prohibited until after
the departure of the American stoners. Several
executions had taken place, and, but for the refusal
of the regiments to fire on the condemned, there
would have been more. Many of the troops lately
arrived from Spain have died from exposure, being
unable to stand the climate. There was a report
that an insurrection had been attempted in Matanzas.
land troops had been ordered to march to that quar-
ter. The result had not been heard when the
Georgia sailed.
The New nrk Herald has the following, which
shows how little reliance is to be placed on any
accounts yet received :
• The Cubans assure us that the news which they
have received directly front the field of battle, from
their own friends, may be relied on as correct. The
Cubans assert, likewise, that the government accounts,
as published in the Ilavannah papers, are utterly false, and
that their very falsehoods confirms in several important
instances the news now received from the patriots. The
news from the patriots informs us that at several other
import-nit points than last adviees, prowenei,ernenbs had
taken place, and the insurgents were in the field. The
government announce, 031 the contrary, that all the rebels
had been taken or shot, and that the utmost quiet prevailed
in all parts of the island, the insurrection luring been
entirely broken up. At the same time, when they say that
all is quiet, they publish official despatches front Principe,
Las Tunas, Sibanieu, Cienfuegos, Trinidad, Villa Clara,
and Santo Espiritu, stating that all those places are infested
by rebel guerillas. The above-named places comprise all
the chief towns, from one end of the Central Department
to the other, in length 500 miles, rind embracing full one-
third of the island of Cuba. From the government, there-
fore, it 1%11 be seen that the revolution is very general.
It appears (says the Hm ebl) that an engagement
took place on the 25th of last month, the result of
which has been favourable to the insurgents. More
over, it is stated that the revolutionists, in one dis-
trict, numbered two thousand foot and six hundred
horse; and this fact, if it is really one, shows that
the force of the insurgents is much more extensive
than has been anticipated. Besides, the movements
at Trinidad arc of a character to excite attention, and
add to the belief that the demonstration on the part
of the Cubans is becoming general throughout the
island. Some documents have come directly from
the revolutionary party ; and one in the form of a
journal appears to be a plain, unvarnished history
of the movement front its earliest hour to the last
moment.
Should any considerable show of aid from the
United States appear upon the coast of Cuba, or any
force succeed in landing (says the Herald), the dis-
affected Cubans, however small in numbers, will gain
confidence in their hopes, and may renew their in-
cipient struggles with some effect. Yet the power
of the government is strong enough to put down any
slight farce, such a .9 the government journals assure
us forms the opposition, and the insurgents will have
to tight with desperate courage and determination,
or entrench themselves in the fastnesses of the moun-
tains for security.
From California we have fourteen days later news
by the arrival of the steam-ship Prometheus, with
navices and passenger+, via the Nicaragua route,
considerably over half a million of gold dust,
and 360 passengers. The l'aeitic has also 800,000
dollars on board.
The Prometheus left San Juan on Monday, the
4th inst., at 11 o'clock, a.m., and arrived at New
York at 5 o'clock on the morning of the 13th,bringing
the passengers of the steamer Pacific, which left San
Francisco on the 11th ult., and arrived at San Juan
del Sud on the 29th ult. The passengers who came
across the Nicaragua route had first fifteen miles of
hind carriage ; they then took the steamer Director
across Lake Nicaragua, and then in the new iron
steamer Sir Henry Bulwer down the San Juan river
to the Prometheus in thirty-two hours running time.
They all express themselves highly pleased with the
route, and say that the country is delightful and
quite healthy. At the mines Lynch law was still
being carrieil out, three men having been executed
during the fortnight. The war between the whites
