PROTESTANTISM IN HUNGARY.

The protestant, in Austria have felt some uneui-
nese since the publication of the concordat, at the
absence of positive guarantees for the enjoyment of
their rights and for the maintenance of the liberty of
conscience. In the oonferences of Iglu, held on the
20th, 21st, and 22nd ult., the Evangelical Synod of
Hungary decided to petition the Emperor for
the convocation of a general synod; a body
which alms, according to the statute of 1790,
is able to institute a new organisation of the reformed
church in Hungary. The assembly of Calvinists,
representing a population of 760,000 souls, met on
the Bth at Debrecsin, sad declared that they did not
feel authorised to deliberate upon the project for newly
organising the protestant church submitted to their
examination by the government; and that it belongs
exclusively to a general synod to establish regulations
affecting the interests of the protestant church. The
same assembly insists also that the re-organisation of
the schools of the Helvetic Confession be reserved
to the synod.

The Indepondones .111.19. obeerves that the with-
drawal of the Austrian troops from the Principalities
would give rise In those provinces to an energetic
movement in favour of union. This movement, which
would probably end in the establishment of a strong
homogeneous and hes nationality upon the borders
of the Danube, might reset upon Transylvania and
Hungary. In the latter was it may be doubted
(thinks the liscliporadanro) whether the Czar would
again interfere to reduce the ineurgent nationalities
to obedience.

THE STATE OF NAPLES.

(11011 01/11 OWN

NAPLES, OCT. 27.

Additional Swim troops have been sent up to St.
Elmo, which commands the city, and the reserves
have all been celled in; so that Naples has the ap-
pearance of being a city of soldiers. Strict orders
have been issued to suppers the slightest shout or
demonstration even with the most extreme measures ;
and, as everything indicates snob a determination, eo
also does it show the ezietenos of a certain degree of
apprehension on the part of the authorities.
There was seme absurd attempt at a demonstra-
tion on Saturday night near the Porta San Gennuo,
at the Arco del Pargatoeio. It is believed that It
originated with the low police, who would be glad
to draw in the liberals, and to prove that they are
necessary to maintain public order. Nothing, how-
ever, cams of it. It was a purely ridiculous affair,
and the liberal party will not, I feel assured, lend
themselves to any premature or suicidal follies.
The ultimatum recently presented by England
and France to this Court was couched nearly in
the following words : " That Prance and England
had no intention to intervene in the affairs of Naples;
but inasmuch as their friendly representations had
produced no good effects, they would not permit
their legations to sanction by their presence and
assistance a system of government of which they
°said not approve. The British fleet would remain
at Malta, end the French fleet at Toulon; and, from
time to time, a vessel would be despatched
to see whether the presence of a por-
tion or the whole of the fleet was needed
for the protection of the subjects of the Two
Powers—for other motives it would not come." The
consuls of the respective Powers will sign passports,
and transact all other business necessary, and
I know that in one case an application he'
been made to the America minister for counsel
and assistance I. case of need. Of one thing
the French and English may feel assured, that
every precaution will be taken to to avoid the neces-
sity of a visit from the fleet, and I understand that
directions have been issued to the police to see that
we are respected.

RUSSIA AND ENGLAND.

TRIESTE, Orr 31.

Letters from Constantinople of the 26th announce
that, in reply to a demand made by M. de Boutenieff,
Admiral Lyons declared that the fleet would remain
is the Black Sea wall the treaty of Paris should be
fulfilled.

Russia has finally renounced its claim on Persia for
payment of an indemnity for the war of 1827.
