ITALY.

The Conciliators announces that the Marquis
Ridela had gone to Alessandria, charged with an
extraordinary mission from the Tuscan government
to Charles Albert, and had had a long private con-
ference with the King, the subject being the in-
tenets of the Peninsula. Charles Albert was
favourably disposed towards the political league,
beim( evidently anxious that the Neapolitan govern-
' menu should he included therein.
With regard to pates, he declared, as he had done
before, that unless an honourable one could be con-
cluded he would resume arms in order to reconquer
Italy's lost independence ; that he wasre-organiaing the
army with this view, and that he would take the
Swiss troops into his pay in mkr to increase his
army.
The Piedmontese Gazette, of the let of September,
publishes an ordonnance, containing various regulations
with respect to the uniform, &e., of the troops, and a
circular, addressed to the commanders of military
divisions, inviting them to further the King's views,
and to provide es promptly, and with u little
expense as possible for the equipment of the troops.

FRANKFORT, SEPT. 3.—Although intelligent
has just been received here to the effect that the truce
between Germany and Denmark was officially ratified
at Lubeck on the Ist inst., the opinion is pretty gene.'
rally entertained in political circles in this cot y that
the central executive is not only dissatisfied with the
conditions of that truce, bat also—and this is, per-
haps, slier all, the ch;ef subject of complaint—with
the cavalier manner in which the Central Under
Secretary of State (Max. Von Gegern, the brother of
the president of the National Assembly) was treated
by Gen. Von blow, the Prussian plenipotentiary.
The former official was sent to Schleswig-Holstein, to
assist in carrying on the negotiations; and yetatrangel
to say, he was not allowed by the latter to take any
active part in them. The result was, that the combo-
lion of the truce was notified to the central ministry
in this city, not by their accredited agent, Von Osgern,
but by the Prussian government, through the Prussian
ambassador. On the Ist inst. the Minister of Foreign
Affairs stated that he was ignorant of the con-
ditions on which the trace had been con-
clnded—a remarkable declaration, whoa the
relative position of the central executive to
Germany is taken into consideration. In the moss
of yesterday (as asserted) a somewhat hasty analysis
of the conditions was received by the =ekes= sod,
as before stated, those conditions were considered =-
satisfactory. It is true that the central executive gave
full powers to hawk to carry on the negotiations,
but it was with the understanding that the central
under secretary of state for foreign affairs should take
part in them. The main ground, moreover, for oon-
fen ing this extraordinary power on Prussikin a ques-
tion where the general interests of Germany were In-
volved, was the refusal on the part of Denmark to ts-
cognise the central government in this city, a gems-
went which, I need not add, is still a proviike=
although a revolutionary sense must not be

elected the vicar of the empire, was Itself

AUSTRlA.—Visnith, Elam I.—The Lyweelw
Oesterreichische &thing of the 31st ult essibles a
leading article strongly advocating the eritabilehment
of a Bonin= "control tribunal," for the pima et
instituting searching inquiries into all essegiabb
against state employee in their administrative esp.
city. The above, journal proposes to give that tribunal
the power of suspending and even of dismissing
functionaries against whom any illegal conduit has
been proved. It is not unlikely that, if the present
democratic ministers remain long in office, some meek
tribunal will be founded.
In order to show the absurdity and injustice of the
protective system, the journal just quoted states that
those branches of Austrian industry which requite
protection do not produce in value more than two
hundred millions of florins, whilst, on the other hand,
the value of those branches which do not need pro-
tection, and of the produce of the earth, is rat down
at fifteen times that amount.
The democratical anion, some of the Lad* mem-
berm of which belong to the ex-committee of safety,
is discussing the question whether a petition shall be
forwarded to the Emperor or to the Constituent As-
sembly for the dismissal of ministers.
After more thao three weeks' debate on the question
of the abolition of all feudal dues with or without
compensation, the Constituent Assembly appointed a
committee to =amine all the various amendments(more
than 100), and form them into one proposition. This
was accordingly done, and the proposition was
brought under discussion on the 30th nit. The debate
was a,journed till the neat day, when a resolution in
favour of the abolition of all feudal dues was unani-
mously carried. A stormy debate, however, ensued
on the questian whether there should be compensa-
tion for the abolition of those dues. It was finally
resolved that in certain eases there should be com-
pensation given, in others not. This vote will nave
the ministry, inasmuch as the principle of no com-
pensation, a principle on which the cabinet had
staked its existence, has been recognised. It is greatly
feared that so soon as it is generally known in the
proving= that compensation will be given in certain
cases—such, for example, as where the landowner is
entitled to a certain amount of labour or money over
sad above the rent—the peasants will commit ex-
cesses. As was the mai in Paris, after the suppres-
sion of the recent sangsincy insurrection, several
national guards have been grossly ill-treated in re-
mote districts by the populace, and one or two have
been murdered in their own houses.
PRUSSlA.—Baithier, Sun. 3.—The Constituent
Assembly voted on the Roth ult. the ministerial propo-

sition to increase tho duty to two thalami per owt. on
native raw sugar, the produce of bast root. The debate
lasted eight hours. The discuasion of the bill for the
suppresuon of unauthorised open air meetings is fixed
tee Thursday next.
It ie anima that the Germans of Behleewig-Hol-
stein are dimatisfied with the conditions of the truce
or with the trues itself, and fears are entertained in
ministerial circles here that the Schleswig-liolsteiners
will carry their favourite threat into execution, and
refsse to pay all taxes and imposts. The conditions
of the truce are given with ro many variations that it
will be better to refrain from further allusion to them
until they are officially published. They will appear
in to-marrow's Morita Anzeiyer.

Cocoons, TIMIS the river fihirawati, which falls into the
Arabian Sea. The bed of the river is onenfoursh of a mile
in direct breadth; but the edge of the fall in elliptical, with
a sweep of half a mile. Thu body of water rushes at first,
for 300 feet, over a slope at an angle of 46 degrees, in a sheet
of white foam, and is then precipitated to the depth of 360
more into a bites abyss, with a thundering noise. It has,
therefore, the depth of 1,160 feet. In the relay season the
river appears to be about thirty feet in depth at the fall ; in
the dr, season it is lower, and is (Vvided into three menden
