Letters from Rome, of the 17th instant, an-
nounce that the Rossi cabinet has been modified in
the following manner: Cardinal Soglio, Secretary of
State, Minister of Foreign Affair., and President
of Loaned ; Count Rossi, Interior, and ad interim,
Finances; Cardinal Visardelli, Public, Instruction;
Advocate Cicognani, Grace and Justice; Professor
Montanari, Commerce; Duke di Signano, Public
Works, and ad interim War; Count Guarini, Minister
withouta portfolio; M. Righetti, substitute for Finance.
There is no mention of the police. It had been pro-
posedto join this to the Ministry of the Interior.
project appears to have been abandoned, and the
portfolio will probably be given to the Count Guarini,
if the former Minister Gelletti, now at Bologna, shall
refuse to enter into the new ministry.
Letters from Milan of the 21st give a version of
the intentions of Austria in relation to the Anglo-
French mediation substantially identical with that
which I sent you yesterday, and which I obtained
from official sources. The same statements are also
given in La Freese of this morning, under the head

under the command of Gm. Hoot, has already reachedi
the environs of Troufkerchen. The last intelligence
from Transylvania is equally unsatisfactory. They are
on the point of dissolving the union with Hungary.
The Minister of War, General l'ileuaros, has ar-
' ranged for a general storming of St. Thomas, under
his command, on the 17th ; and intelligence had
reached Vienna that he had suffered a most fearful
defeat The second infantry regiment (Emperor
Alexander's) slope numbered 1,600 dead and wounded,
and was almost entirely cut up.
The secretary of the Hungarian embassy, resident
at Vienna, Prinz Pulsky, has set out for Upper Hun-
gary, for the purpose of arming his peasantry, and
leading them against the enemy in the south.
The minister Bathyany seems likely to stand in
Pea*. It may be said that this is the last legal
thread by which the affairs of Hungary were connected
with those of Vienna. Had it been otherwise, and
the Peath national assembly taken a decided revolu-
tionary stand, there would be no possibility of
coming to any negociation with the victorious Bann.
The swiential demands of the Croats are as follows :-
1. The national provincial independence of Hungary
and Croatia. 2. A general ministry for the several
parts of the monarchy in reference to foreign affairs,
war, and finance. 3. Emancipation of the southern
country inhabit( d by the Serviette.
Count Teleky had reached Vienna.
Jellaehieh has petitioned the ministers for some
companies of pioneers, with the necessary bridges.l
Whether the ministry will accede to the request is
not known. So much is certain, that the director of
the Gloggnitz railway had received erdere to have
the necessary carriages prepared on the 23rd and
24th for transporting the pioneers and bridges to
Gratz.

The commandant of Prague, Count Alfred Win-
dischgrats, fits been at Vienna for some days. He is

The deputation of l'ragne has petitioned for the
re-arming of the national guard there. The minister
of war ham rtrant,tl 3,090 muskets for that purpose.

proasedinp in the parliament of the latter city, they dis-
avowed their agent, and sent him to Berlin, probably to
notify to the Prussian government that the rigid fulfilment
of the terms and condins of the treaty ars insided upon.
The question now is, what will the Bonin cabinet do ? How

the soldiers would not obey such orders, nor woo d tl ey fight

If Danish government finds that the Prussian is unable
to make good its pledge, wilt not they take the power into
their own hands in sending Daniels troops into the duchies
and blockading their vets, perhaps hembardin7 such towns
as they can reach with their men of-war? In this event they
will not only have to fight the soldier* and German inhabit-
ants of the duchies, bit all the German troops statioatd
there. If ever the interposition of a friendly power was de-
sirable in this unfortunate conflict, it is now, and we look
particularly for the good offices of Great Britain. This city
remain. quiet. The Frankfort contingent is still here; no
other beeps have arrived Maas yesterday. The cholera is
abating both in number of cues and in violence.

FRANKFORT, Seer. 23.
We begin to see pretty clearly into the late events
and their causes. There is little doubt that a party
formed here in Germany in imitation of socialist
democrats—that is, the red republicans of Paris—has
been at work. Macy of its members or emissaries
have been active in the democratic clubs and in
the meetings of workpeople. They have found
support from some few members of the Assem-
bly, and thought themselves strong enough
to strike a blow. This was directed against
the majority of the Assembly. The first effort
was ma& to separate the left from the rest of the
members, and induce it to sit apart and declare itself
the Purified Assembly. The proposal was indignantly
rejected by the left, with the exception of the few
members I have alluded to. The conspiration then
adopted the plan of marching on the Assembly and
expelling the members of the right. But even in
this, I have reason to believe that, as in Paris on the
13th of Jane, it was only the chiefs who determined to
gol this length, the mob being ignorant of the extent
which it wits determined to proceed to. The troops
arrived in time to prevent the success of the attempt,
but not to prevent its being made.
The short insurrection which followed was the re-
sult of excitement, more than of conspiracy. The bar-
ricades were thrown up by boys, and in many
instances tie Prussian soldiers looked on, and even
prevented the citizens interfering. Some think, in
consequence, that orders were given to allow the riot
to grow serious, in order to serious oppression.
Whilst others assert that the troops refrained at first
from a consciousness of their not being in force.
It is probable that the authorities were more fright-
ened than was necessary, 'did for that reason were de-
terred from at once attacking; but there may have
been calculation in this. What adds probability to
this last 'opposition is the fact that the burgher
guard was not called out, and that those who pre-
sented themselves were sent away. I should hesi-
tate, however, to admit this supposition, foe the dan-
ger was not less real, and those facts from
which might be inferred a perfidious calculation
on the part of the authorities might be explained by
the perplexity of some and inertness of others, u well
as by the eagerness of the Prussian troops, which,
though calumnied, had taken the resolution only to
fire in their own defence. The Austrians made the
first attack, hut they were soon relieved by the Prue-
sians, who fought with as much bravery as humanity.
fighting at the barricades did not take place ac-
' cording to the plan of the leaders, for, had
it been foreseen, they would certainly have
caused their friends to come from Mayence,
Hanau, and other surrounding cities. All
the information I have obtained agrees in this point,
that none fought in the barricades but men of the im-
mediate environs of Frankfort, who came in at the
first rumour of the fray.
The combat commenced because after a number of
boys had made the barricades the mass of the most
democratic clubs immediately took up aim 4 to defend
them, moved as much by a spirit of bravadoes by poli-
tical feeling. Besides, the people of Frankfort were
themselves discontented with the presence of Prussians
on their walls, and the leaders may have believed that
perhaps the citizens might help them when once the fight
had commenced. Such, I believe, are the real causes
of the late events, the consequences of which are not
yet clearly evident. I think that the traces of this
affair will not long remain visible in the Assembly.
There are some who fear a military dictator. in
Frankfort, and many symptoms might lead to the
conclusion that such a plan is thought of
in certain quarters, but I can hardly give
credit to it. Today the left raised its head
proudly and energetically.; for it has a right to do so,
not having in any way joined in the affairs of the last
few days. The right wished to send out an address
to the nation, throwing all tho blame on the left,
bat the left had a majority this morning for the re-
jection of this address, anti it may therefore happen
that the consequences of the disturbances may be
more fortunate than it was at first expected they
would have been. The physical force men—the ultra-1
democrats—have been completely beaten, and that
is very fortunate. The partisans of liberty and pro.
grass hold their heads as high as before. The whole
assembly has been shaken, and will march with greater
vapidity and determination to its object; even the
government seems to feel that it is necessary to act in
the sense of the wants of the nation, and it is for this
that our Minister of Commerce placed on the table of
the Assembly yesterday a project for a German cus- '
tom's union.
In a few days we shall know if all these swords,
bayonete, and cannons have turned the heads of our
people of the new central power.

DISTURBANCES AT COLOGNE..

Our correspondent at Cologne, writing on 25th inst.,
mays :—.4 All this day great excitement has prevailed
in Cologne, in consequence of the arrest of three indi-
viduals charged, it is said, with beim! concerned in a
plot for bringing about a republican movement. One
tithe prisoners (Herr Wachter), a captain in the civic
guard, was rescued by a crowd of hastily-assembled
persona from the hands of the gendarmes. Another
popular orator (Herr Mole) was also arrested this
morning; but the six gendarmes who captured him in
his house were obliged to let him go and make a pre-
cipitate flight. About 11 a.m. a number of lads, who
attempted to erect a barricade ncmr the arsenal,
were taken prisoners by the military, wino
loaded their guns in the presence of the crowd.
An open-sir meeting was held this evening in the
Alten Market, notwithstanding the proclamation of
the police prohibiting it. All the windows in the
bonnet the director EA police, and in the poliec-office
itself, had been previously destroyed by a tumultuous
assemblage. About seven, p.m., the military took
pxsession of the main squares. The majority of the
civic guard have resolved, it is said, not to take part
foist the people, should a collision occur. All the
gates 4f the city are guarded by soldiers, and no one
h allowed to enter, the authorities fearing that nume-
rens peasants will arrive to take part in the insurrec-

THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 28, 1848,

:recites on this question from 1835 to 1818. Property, under
1 its forma, is sacred in my eyes. I have always laid that
I only knew one oommuniem—the communism of sentiment,
that is to lay, the religious love of the people, the
progressive series of institutions, of labour, assistance and
' practical trattruity calculated to "ennoble
and improve the condition of all our bnithren. In
proclaiming the republic we restored their sovereignty to
the people. To be sovereign they must be reasonable,
otherwise they will soon lose the title and exercise of sove-
reignty. It is therefore for them now to govern themselves
by tit. it legitimate representation. If they do not respect
thane:Train their elected, In what will thet do so ? and it
they do not respect themselves, who will nets. ct them in the
world ? Recommend them moderation and wisdom, which
are what I n cease ro recommend myself. Yon think
that I betray and abandon them ? You are mistaken. I
serve them in the only manner in which they require to
be served at this moment The impatience which is
caused among them is the certain loss of all the rights
they have conquered, and all the social advantages of
which those rigors wisely exercised giro th•m the pledge.
If this misfortune occurs history will not accuse me—it
will amuse those who mislead them. The republic,
such at th. y desired it in February, March, and April, was
the s ,vereietnty of public reason, not the wildness of imps e.
likable stets and suicidal parei.ns ; and such is the republic
which will instruct, moralise, and enrith the people. If of
• sect or violent, the republic would give the vicory of the
Jecedernoin to the enemies of human reason and progrea
,ise institutions. I could sire to make this conviction pen
into pur hearts, with the lame strergtb that It exists in
mine. That is henceforth the only service that I can endea-
vour to render to our country, Bet aside after the storm by
the impatience of mire, the resentment of others, I have no
other aruhis.ion than that of seeing the republicans of all
dates and all the rise unite In the Idea summon to all, of
causing the republican form to be accepted as the regular
instrument of perfectioneil ciciliration. In this point at least,
citizens, we are agreed ; for whatever be the difference of
our ideas on the constitution of property, of labour, of
branches of industry, we are Frenchmer, We are brethren,we are republicans'.
