LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

POLITICAL VENGEANCE IN A GERMAN
STATE.

The oorrespondent of the Brossele bedepssdancs
writes from Hamburg, under date of the 7th :

I had occasion several years ego to announce to you that,
on the rsesipt of information from the Prussian police, the
Grand Ducal government of Mecklenburg-Schwerin effected
a minute at Rostock of • large quantity of arms and ammo
nition, which bad been concealed in the magasines of the
city and buried underground in the environs.
A certain somber of persons, belonging for the most
part to the liberal and enlightened classes of the nation, end
including seven lawyers and physicians, three prolesson,
and two leading merchants, were immediately ed by
the police of Mecklenburg, and amused of participating in
a camping against the safety of the Mate and the sovereign
rights of the reigning duke. The accused were sent to the
prisons of Butsow, where they have remained incarcerated
for nearly four years.

After this already long imprieonment, the criminal col-
lege of Mecklenburg•Schwerin bee, within the but few days
only, pronounced arson 'ever. @antenna against the majority
of the seemed. MM. Wiggers (who presided in' 48 over the
Constltriest itrembly of the Grand Deeby), Hate, GMT-
bardt, Slane, Muller, Iben, and Dombhath—lawyers
mad doctors—have been condemned respectively to

three and to two years' incarceration in • - state
prison ; the merchants Schwartz and Blubme to eighteen
moans, and the Professors Willbrsndt, Turk, and Jules
Wiggen respectively to one year, no months, and three
months' solitary eonfinement in the prison of Batson. All
the letters from Mecklenburg agree in stating that these
sentences have produced a most painful impression upon
the population, and especially perhaps upon the members
of the University of Rostock.

SOUTHAMPTON. TVISDAY.
The Avon has arrived with the Bras lien mails.
She left Rio on the 16th of October.

Amongst her cargo are diamonds of the value of
37,0001. ; jewellery of the value of 6001.; gold of the
value of 5001.; and specie of the value of 7001.
At Buenos Ayres the extreme variation in the rate
of exchange seriously interferes with steadiness of
trade, ounces varying daring the month from 316
to 375. The general produoe trade generally good.
No transaction in tallow. Goode trade not brisk.

At Monte Video affairs are quiet, with a probabi-
lity of so continuing, and a good trade is doing.
Emigration of a good class of labour much required.
At Madeira the vines look better, and au improve-
ment in the Drop is prognosticated. The cholera bee
left the island, and the distress hu been relieved.
At Rio our correspondent says that in a commer-
cial point of view the past month has been one of
the most important ever known there. In imports,
principally of flour, the Immune has been enormous,
and the quantity of coffee sold for exportation has
before been equalled. Exchange from 271 to

From Lisbon we learn that the government are in
treaty with the Bank of Portugal for the loan of
I,boo coigne, and that it will be taken in foreign
stock.

General Lopez has been elected Governor of Santa
Fe and 00-operated harmoniously with the national
authorities. It is believed that Unpin for the pre.
sent has not serious intentions of an armed invasion.

By the Avon we learn that the French screw
steam ship La France was burnt and scuttled at
Bahia.

Twenty miles of the Pernambuco railway will be
opened next year.
At Pernambuco the import market is well supplied,
sod at Rio Grande there is a brisk trade doing in
goods, and the markets are barely supplied. At Bahia,
also, the import and export trade is good.
Forty miles of the Rio Railway will be opened,
next year. _ . _

The Australian Mail steamer Oneida, was at St.
Vincent on the 28th ult.

A slave steamer has been seen off the Brazil coast,
and measures have been adoped to prevent her
landing staves there.

In Portugal, the politioal election. are likely to be
in favour of the government party.

NAPLES, Nov. 6.

Not the slightest change hes taken plate in the
position of things since I lilt wrote to you. The
King is said to be aa firm as ever, though wiehes
rather than hop.. are occasionally whispered that
eamething may be done. Vibes his irritation moo
mit be is sensible of not being under any pressure,
then, say some sanguine people, perhaps hie Majesty
may be brought to see the path in which his true
interests lie. I hope this may truly repuesot the
royal intentions, for undoubtedly it would be better
for the future union of both Sovereign and people
that what is done should originate with the Sovereign
rather than with the foreigner. The great question
however is, will the Sovereign do anything I'
The royal family are coming into Ceuta for the
Queen's confinement; they were to have been here
on the 6 h inst. Here a graceful occasion presents
itself for his Majesty to accord what is desired,
without the slightest shock to his pride; nor would
it be a mode of action altogether new, as inch occa-
sions bate in former times been taken advantage of
to greet those favours which conciliate the affec-
tions of a people. The most painful and anxious
suspense, however, exists as to the (nine'. Ns light
breaks in anywhere; and the programme of the
Allied Powers is wrapped in as profound a mystery
as are the intentions of the Log.
P.S. I beaten to report a fact which has just been
mentioned to me. Mr. Lawrence Igguldeo was return-
ing with his two sisters last night at the early hour of
half-past 10 o'clock,when he was hailed by thesentinel
is Chiatamone with "Alta chi vs la r Mr. Ig-
gulden promptly replied, " Amioi," and was then
ordered by the soldier, who raised his musket, toge-
ther with his party, to proceed in single file. This
morning Mr. Iggulden went to the guard house to
lay his complaint, when the corporal explained that
no orders bad been given to that efft et, and that the
soldier must have been frightened by what he eon-
, ceived an attrappamento. As soon se the circum-
stance had come to the ears of Captain Gall-
way, oar consul, he, with his usual promp-
titude, called with Mr. Iggulden on Signor
Carers, the minister for foreign affairs, and stated the
whole truest:don. Signor Carafa received them with
great curtsey, stated that it was contrary to orders,
expressed his great regret, and promised immediate
inquiry and satisfaction. Of course the prompt and
graceful circular of his Majesty, and the assurance of
Signor Carafe, ars a sufficient guarantee that the
i Government is fax from being disposed to insult or to
injure British subjects, and I must describe this as
an individual affair on the part of an ignorant soldier.
Still, may It not be desirable that at least a despatch
boat be stationed has P
