cavalry officer, but the report has not been confumed.
Cabrera, the opulent and enterprising chief of the
Snish Carlists, is, it is said, no longer in France.
lie had recently obtained permission to come to
Paris. A few days since he left that capital, but
instead of returning to Lyons, the place of residence
assigned to him, he crossed over to England. What-
ever dangers may ensue to Spain from these escapes,
the following is the proclamation, said to have been
addressed to the Spaniards, dated the 12th :

" SPANIAIIIIB,
" My dignity, in accordance with my feelings, commanded
me to await the events which I now behold taking place with-
out surprise in Spain, and to remain true to what I
announced to you in my manifesto of the 23rd of May, 181.5.
I then made you acquainted with my principles; my
sole desire was to extricate our pvrty from the chaos
in which it had Allen ; to bring about a lasting.
reconciliation between the different parties; to give you that
peace and happiness of which you stand as i much in need,
and which you have so well deserved. The result did not
answer my expectations, and your hopes were deceived.
Your duty and my word of honour impose upon us new
efforts for accomplishing the mission reserved to us. That
moment has at length arrived, Spaniards, which I avoided
with so much care, at so many sacrifices either on your side
or on mine. It would be doing you injustice, and slander-
ing myself, to suppose you not equal to that reputation for
energy which gained you the esteem of Europe. I
know no factions: I behold only Spaniards who
can all powerfully co-operate with me towards
the accomplishment of the great work reserved for
me by a Divine Providence. I therefore. appeal to you;
I place my trust in all ; I discard none. The cause I repre-
sent is a just one; no otsstaele ought to stop us when success
is our aim. The result is certain. For relying on your zeal,
your activity, and your courage, I trust that you will eager:y
respond to my appeal. I wish and ordain that the past be
forgotten. The epoch before us must in nowise resemble the
state we are in at present. A complete union must be esta-
blished between Spaniards. No more hateful epithets, no
more hatreds, no more injuries. Institutions in the spirit of
the age, the holy religion of our ancestors, the unbiassed
exercise of justice, respect of property, the amalgamation of
factions, will be a pledge of that happiness for which you
sigh. I shall keep all my premises, and when the moment
of triumph has struck, my greatest joy shall be to forget
that there are victors and vanquishe". Receive my thanks
for the many hardships undergone. Admirer of your courage
wad your deeds, I shall reward them nobly on the field of
battle.—ClientEs Loos. Bourges, Sept. 12, 1846."
We are enabled to state, from undoubted au-
thority, that the Count de Nlontemelin arrived in
Paris, from Bourges, by the Orleans railway, on the
15th inst. When there, he saw a confidential friend
with whom he had a long interview, leaving with him
copies of his address, to be sent to all the French
journals as soon as lie (the Count) should be across
the frontier. Two hours afterwards he left Paris by '
the Great Northern railway.
The escape of Don Carlos has not been confirmed. i

FRANCE.—PARIS, SEPT. 19.—The financial crisis,
now prevailing in Germany, threatens to bear heavily, at no
great distance of time, on the principal markets of Europe.
In Paris, the paper of Frankfort, Vicr.na, and other German
towns, is very scarce and in great demand. Large sales in
Gortr uncut Securities have been made lately by leading
mercantile houses with the view, a was confidently asserted,
of sending reruitt nee, to Germany on securities received
from B rlin and Vienna. Thus the tendency of the
public funds to rise was checked at its very com-
mencement, and if railway shares maintained their prices it is
Martially owing to large sales made some time since by
jobbers, who were not in possession of the stock, and were
obliged to buy it! However, the general feeling of specu-
lators in much better than it was in Paris three montks ago,
and owing to the daily increase of the receipts of the Great
Northern Railway, the shares of that company have once
more become great favourites at the bourse, and this rise
will, no doubt, exercise a favourable influence on the other
railway shares.

the King, Director of the French School of Painting at

--
We have to announce the death of Count Simeon,
Peer of France, and of Madame Berryer, mother of the
eloquent deputy. The latter was in her 77th year.
THE l'oT.tro 111.tuttz has been for some time
past gradually extending itself in the western and
southern districts of France; every week adds some new
locality. Last year the principal scene of infection was in
the north ; beyond Amiens to the frontier of Belgium
almost every field was more or less damaged, and in some
districts a sound potato was hardly to be found ; it was also,
but in a modified form, in some parts of Picardy, Normandy,
and sin the bottlers of the Rhone ; now the crops are all but
lota in some of the lowlands of Calvados, Normandy, Tou-
raine, on the Garonne, about:Toulouse, and from thence to
the Mediterranean; in several places near the Rhone, at
Chanthery, and other parts of Sardinia and Italy, the loss is
still more extensive ; in all these districts the late kinds have
suffered most; at present I have not heard that it has made
any progress in central France; in the neighbourhood of
Paris, we are almost entirely free from taint. I
have from time to time visited the various markets
and seen but very little ; in fact, no disease among
the early kinds • as to the later varieties, but very
few have yet been taken up. The season has been
so exceedingly dry and hot during the months °finite, July,
and August, that the crops cannot be otherwise than
cient, and I am perfectly certain that around Paris there
will not be half an average crop—l might even say one-
fourth.
The red spider, thrip, and drought have done al-
most as much mischief as the blight; geNl kinds are veiling
from 8 to 12 francs the 100 kilos ( 6s. 6d. to 10s. for 2001b5.).
All kinds of vegetables and fruit (with the exception of
melons, grapes, and walnuts) are, at least, one-half dearer
than last year. 1 have just returned from a tour throughout
the whole length and breadth of Belgium and Rhenish
Priaxsia, which, I am happy to say. present a very different
appearance to what they did last autumn ; then a sound
potato was scarcely to be seen, which, added to the shortness
in rye and oats, created an almost universal alarm of famine;
not only potatoes, but turnips, carrots, and every kind of
grain, are generally good, and not far front an average crop.
From Courtrai toGhent the farmers are everywhere busy get-
ting up the late crops, rather from fear of wet weather than
actual necessity. Early potatoes are abundant in the markets
of this last place, and almost entirely free from specks. The
price asked for red kidneys was 10 and 12 francs the sack of
200 lbs. ; late kinds did not look so well, and sold from 7 to
10 francs. Towards Antwerp there is said to be a full crop
of kidneys, and perfectly sound; but I saw many places
where the blight had evidently attacked the late ones. At
Bruges and West Flanders fear was entertained for those
still in the ground, although actual disease had not exhibited
itself to any great extent. At Brussels I saw none in the
fields, and those in the markets looked sound. At Malines
and Louvain the people is ero all busy, and the yield seemed
good. A friend living in an agricultural district, near
Malines, told me that he had not seen or even heard of any
disease among the early potatoes, and that generally the
farmers were satisfied with the crops. Last season they were
everywhere destroyed. Further east, towards St. Trond and
Liege, I was told that here and therethey were bad, but I saw
nothing of it. I went into a field that was being dug up, and
certainly did not tee a single root tainted ; on the contrary,
they appeared plentiful, full-sized, and sound. In this neigh-
bourhood last year the disease universal, and in its wont
form. The present prices are 6 to 8 francs round, and 7 to
12 francs for the kidneys. Towards Aix and Cologne they
did not look is good ; the stems appeared in many places
blighted. At Frankfort, I understand, the late kinds are
partially affected ; but by no weans so much as last year.
Front what I have myself witnessed in the north of Prance
and Belgium, I am fully persuaded there will not be one-
fourth of the loss of 1845, and I find from a report just made
by the Government committee sitting at Ghent, that they
entertain but little fear either as to quantity or quality, and
that it is expected there will be at least 7-10ths of the crop
saved, while butt year the loss was at least 8-10ths of the
whole.—Correspondent to the Gardeners' Chronicle.

SPAIN.—DON CARLOS'S SoNg.—lf we may be-
lieve several letters from Italy (says El Herald° of Madrid),
Dan Juan and Don Fernand, two of Don Carlos's sons, are
on the point of marrying two Italian princesses, one of whom
is sister to the Duke of Modena. _ _

ITALY.—RomE, SErr. 9.—Measures have been
taken by the Pontifical government for disbanding the
Swiss troops in the service of the Roman states. A special
agent has been sent into Switzerland to concert measures
to that effect. This will be a great saving to the state, as
Italian troops can be organised at much less expense. One
of the principal features of the new Roman government is a
strict system of economy in the public expenses.
ROME AND itA I LWAYq.—It seems at length quite
certain that there are to be railways in the Roman territory.
Steam is to be allowed henceforth to hiss and sputter, not
merely in the l'ort of Civita Vecchia, but under the very
shadow of the Vatican, and, perhaps, within hearing of the
tombs of the apostles. The Papal states—it is decided once
for all--are not to constitute an impassable barrier between
Northern and Southern Italy. Travellers who will one day
have been darted through the Alps on roads of iron, and
whirled through Tuscany at the rate of thirty or forty
miles an hour, are not to be compelled slowly to sneak
through the Pal al states before resuming those
wings of fire that will before long precipitate them
from Capua to Tarento. Rome, famous both in
Pagan and Christian times for the mighty works
by which it has led the van of civilisation, and shown its
pre-eminence in labours of human utility and grandeur, is
not to be put to shame in the nineteenth century. The city
from whence the most perfect means of locomotion in
ancient times were spread over the whole civilized world is
not doomed to have the worst roads in the world merely
because Rome is the head-quarters of spiritual civilisation.
The Roman roads, the Roman aqueducts, the Roman sewers,
are not to be left to tell of the astonishing achievements of
human industry in past times to a race amongst whom all
terrene energy is extinct for ever. Side by side with the old
Appian, way, will, no doubt, be carried the new trunk line to
Naples ; blocks of lava will be superseded by rods of iron ;
the navigator will take the pla^e of the prisoner of wart and
we shall probably hear of a railway terminus erect•Al near

PiuslX. AND P EROIC NICIIOLAS.—T here appeared
a semi-official statement lately in the German papers, that
the Emperor of Russia intended sending a new mission to
the Roman Court, to smooth the txisting difficulties between
the Holy See and the cabinet of St. Petersburg. The mis-
sion is entrusted to one of the most enlightened statesmen of
the Russian empire, to Count Bloudoff, echo since the decease
of Count Sper,tnilsi, is at the head of the legislative depart-

meat in Russia; he is to be accompanied by a Cat pa.
the Councillor of State, Itomuald Hub', formerly pro{
Z'
a canon law at the University of Warsaw, a distii4te,
lawyer and a man of great sa„nneity. It may be
if their negotiations will be crowned with the mucus hri,sl
for at St. Petersburg. To do justice to the legitimate otee,
plaints of the Holy See it will be requisite for the tree to re,
nounce the traditions bequeathed to him by Catherine s4d
the emperors l'aul and Alexander, and to larhear attackise
the germs of Polish nationality in the Catholic religion. Tee
policy of the Russian government was to abolish in the est.
quered provinces the united Greek confeuion which is a sit
of line between the Russian and the Ruthenian WOrship..ll,

of the Emperor, they were called upon to join the retie*
of the realm. They refused, and the soldiers tell D,
them sword in hand. Besides those acts of violence, cedes;
Lion is resorted to. Money and brandy are not 'pared it
gaining converts to the Russian church. This question,
the united Greek confession is greatly neglected, anemia'
being turned principally to the Catholic church. The poj
against which the Roman church raises her voice are many
and grievous, and Russia therefore has entrusted the raineje
to men of high capabilities.
GENOA.—The King (Charles Albert) of Sardinia
is expected at Genoa to attend the scientific congress. Three
new professorships have been created at Turin : oar of putifis
and international law ; one of administrative law ; and the
other of political economy.
HOLLAND.—THE HAGUE, SEPT. 17.—The Senate
of the free city, Frankfort, has just published a proelamatina,
allowing the importation of corn, duty free, into the tern.
tory of the republic. The government of Frankfort ma
pay to the Zollverein the 'duties chargeable on this coil,
according to the general tariff, which is common to all stun
of the union. This measure has become necessary, is copse
'pence of the very high price of provisions.
GERMAN'".—HAMBURG, SEPT. 12.—During the
night the bronze statue of the Duke Adolph IV. of ilef.
stein, who, in 1227, defeats d King Waldemar IL, of Des.
mark, at the battle of Benhoevde, was deprived of tile
sword and helmet.

VieNNA.—The inauguration of the railway from
Vienna to Bruck took place on the 12th instant.
BERLIN, SEPT. 1 I.—There is question of a conjoint
note to be addressed by the three absolute preen to the
English government, and eventually to that of the Tuileries,
on the late revolt In Poland and the occupation of Crum
It will be remembered that the matter was brought forimed
in both the English houses of Parliament, and that Lord
Palmerstoa declared he had the right to demand more direct
and more exact information towards the maintenance of the
treaty of Vienna. The English ambassadors at St. Petal.
burg, Vienna, and Berlin, received instructions from their
government, according to which an interchange of di.
plomatic notes took place. It has been declared, thin
as the three protective powers acted in concert from the
they were equally answerable tor the events,
andbeei beginning
address a conjoint note on the subject to the Bri-
tish Cabinet. Of the details of the note we arc not informed,
but we can affirm that the acts of the Treaty of Vienna are
recognised, and that it is asserted the late measures taken be
the three powers in no wise violated the treaty. As resin:ls
a special line of policy adopted in certain parts of Poland,
the responsibility is shared between the three powers; them
exists in this respect no treaty or international convention of
a nature to sanction the interf,renee of a foreign power. The
note in all probability is a formal nullity.
MAILS BETWEEN BERLIN AND PARlS.—Owing to
the establishment of special night trains on the French
northern railway for the mails, and for establishing an ma.
fettc service between Aix-la-Chapelle and Ilanover, in corre-
spondence with the first train from the latter city to Bailin,
the letters which leave Paris at seven in the evening arrive
at Berlin on the fourth day, about five in the afternoon, that
is to say, twenty-six hours sooner than formerly', and are dis-
tributed the same evening. Letters from Berlin to Paris are
eighty.thri e hours on the road.
PoTsitam, Sept. 17.—Their Royal 'Highnesses the
Prince and Princess Royal of Wurtenberg, the Grand Mae
Constantine of Russia, and the Duke of Leuchtenbere, have
arrived from St. Petersburg. The Grand Duke of Mecklen-
burg Schwerin, and his Highness Prince Frederick of Hesse,
have arrived at the palace of Sans Souci.—A letter front St.
Petersburg states that Count de Rantran, the Danish Am-
bassador to that court, had sent in his resignation.--A letter
from Berlin of the 14th, in the Sicabirm Mercury, says
I To-day the deputies of the association of Guetavus Adol-
phus held their eluting sitting in the Church of the Trinity.
It has been decided that a petition shall be preaeLted to the
Emperor of Russia, praying his Majesty to cause a strict
investigation to be made in the provinces of Courland and
Livonia, into the practice which has been adopted of increu-
ing the Greek Church at the expense of that of the Protest-
ant faith. It was also proposed to invite, by an address, the
Sovereigns of Germany to protect the Proteetants, hut
this proposition was rejected, one member observing that
Austria already protected them, and that their oppression
arose from other causes." _

GRAND DUCIIV ot• BADEN.--CARLSRITHE, SEPT.
12.—Some time hack deputy Hecker brought forward a
motion tending to declare persons occupying certain offices
a. incapable of fulfilling the duties of deputies. The follow-
ing report has been drawn up on the subject :

which no minister or head of the ministry can net as deputy ; that,

government was to resign, were rejected by the commission.
A decree of the government of Baden was published at
Carlsruhe of the following tenor :-

FROM THE Eiiwn, SEPT. 10.—A serious difficulty
has arisen between the King of Denmark and the Chancery
of Schleswig-holstein and Lauenburg. The king had de-
manded the opinion of the chancery on the dismissal of the
functionaries. The chancellor replied, that, as regarded the
government functionaries, they might be dismissed by a
royal order, receiving the usual pension, but that it was not
so as regarded the law officers. '1 he king has addressed a
rescript to the chancellor, containing the ptinciples or the
right of dismissing the judges, and has ordered the Chan•
eery to prepare and publish a law to that effect. They were
also requested to take a new oath, according to the letter
patent, but the members of the chancery refused. They will
not admit of the dismissal of judges without just cause. A
law to such effect must at all events first receive the sanction
of the states.

DE.NNlARK.—According to accounts from Vienna
and Frankfurt, and which, though bearing a semi•othciat
character, require confirmation, the German dirt intends
declaring itself incompetent in the question of Schleswig and
Hol►tein.

SLEswic, Starr. 10.—The King of Denmark ar-
rived on that day at Sleawig. In the evening. groups bad
formed in the streets. Anti-Danish songs were sung, and
several windows smashed.

1% (FuEmt).—On the 7th inst. the King de-
cided on giving a new organisation to the regency of
Schleswig-Holstein at Gotten?. It is to consist in future of
a president and four councillor,.
RUSSIA. ST. PETERSBURG, SEPT. 8. The
Prince and Princess of Wurtemberg (Grand Duchess Olga)
were to leave St. Petersburg on the 9th inst., to spend a
few days at Sans-Souci with the royal family of Prussia, and
are expected at Stuttgard on the 27th, which is the King of
Wurtemberg's fife-day. The Grand-Duke Constantine is
to accompany them to Stuttgard, and the Make de Leech-
temberg is to escort them to the I'olish frontier. It is stated
that a marriage is to take place between one of the daughters
of the Grand-Duke Michel aid Prince Frederick of Baden.
It is further stated that M. Woronzoff I) •schkoff has been
appointed ambassador for Russia at Vienna.
Ti ItK EY AND PERSIA.—The Augsburg Ga:ette
states that the number of deaths at Teheran is 200 daily. At
Tauris commerce is at a stand still. The Perso-Munn
quarantine on the Araxes has been increased from eight days
to three weeks. There is a report at Trebisoude that a rela-
tion of Schamyl has defeated the Russians, and taken three
pieces of cannon from them. Great silence is preserved on
the late events at Erzeroorn. At Ancirianople 800 houses
have been consumed by fire.
THE ClieLmtA.—A letter from Teheran, dated
28th July, states that the cholera is raging there to a fearful
extent. The Shah, in his retreat, left all his luggage behind
him, like a vanquished foe flying before a victorious enemy.
ALGERIA. ADMINISTRATION OF JUsTICE.—A
cause was tried a few days since in Algeria against three
officers of the commissariat, who have been found guilty of
peculation. The persons who were present at this long trial
speak much of a circumstance which took place on the morn-
ing of the sentence. The accused, Forcioli and Witte:sheim,
who are ill at the hospital, were allowed, up to that date, to
communicate freely with their counsel. On the eve of the
day judgment was given ; their quarters were changed, and
they were placed under the guard of four men, with strict
orders not to allow them to be in communication
with any one, not even their counsel. This ex-
traordinary precaution, and infringement on the rights
of defence was taken by the commander of the place
in the imaginary fear that the prisoners would make their
escape. IN e sr.) well accustomed, say the National, to the
violent and brutal acts of Marshal Bugeaud but we never
dreamt that the dictatorial folly of that pro.consul would go
so far as to violate the notions of common justice, by pro-
hibiting a person accused from communicating with his min-
i" It is not 03 be thought that two lawyers would carry
off two men from a hospital well guarded. This brutal mea-
sure is not to be explained, or perhaps so by the hatred which
Marsha) Bugeaud and his agents have for civil institutions,
and, his desire to make his good will law in the colony.
SOUTH AMERICA.—THE REPUBLIC OF NEW

preparation, both in Spain and in Ireland. The Spanish con-
tingent is now ready, and is to sail shortly for Ireland, where

LA PLArA.—lnformation by way of Bordeaux has
arrived from Monte Video up to the 12th July. By this
communication we learn the arrival of the Devastation,
steamer, with Mr. Hood, the British envoy, charged with
a mission to Roses, from the English and French Govern-
ments. The Devastation did not put in to Monte Video, but
passed by that port • ithout even communicating with the
Chargia d'Affaires residing there fur intervening powers, and
