The whole of the Mediterranean squadron has
not put to eel as stated. Several frigates only hwe
sailed for the coat of Africa with 6,000 men. These
troops will be landed at the port of Nemours,
formerly Djemma Ciarsocal, situated seven or
eight leagues distant from the frontiers of Morocco,
and will reinforoe the expeditionary corps, which
is to occupy the district of Ottenda.

The catholic clergy of Paris have arranged to
give a grand banquet in honour of Monseigneur
de Tulle, who preached in two churches on Sunday
lest, in favour of upholding the righu of the Holy
See.

The reported arrival of Baron Brinier in Paris is
not correct, his excellency not having quitted
Naples.
Lord Cowley and Count Walewski are expected to
arrive in Paris from Biarritz, oa Sunday next.
General Changarnier has fixed his residence at
Chagny (Saone et Loire.)

CENTRAL ITALY.

BOLOGNA, Ocr. 6.

The Governor of Bologna, on the proposition of
the Minister Marquis de Pepoli, has decreed the
abolition of the customs line on the frontiers of
Modena and Tuscany, and the adoption of the cus-
toms tariff of Sardinia. The report of the minister
concludes thus :—" This decision is a fresh step
towards the definite anion with Sardinia, by uniting
the interests of industry and commerce of the
country."

GERMANY.

FRANKFORT-ON-MAINE, Ocr. 7.
The following is a summary of the reply given by
the Duke of Saxe Cobonrg to the note addressed to
him by the Austrian minister of foreign affairs,
concerning the opinion lately expressed by him in
regard to federal reform in Germany :

The Austrian Cabinet mast have misunderstood
the words of the Duke, he having only expressed •
desire for the union of Germany, which does not
render necessary the exclusion of Austria from that
union. The Duke, however, as a reigning Sove-
reign, must make the reservation that he does not
consider that an account of words spoken by him is
due to anyone, and least of all to another Cabinet.
The Duke had always most seriously persisted in
the support of Austria by Germany ; but such •
support had lately been rendered impossible by the
imperfection of the Federal Constitution, and by the
sudden conclusion of peace by Austria. The Duke
expresses a dcubt that the Emperor of Austria, for
whom personally he entertained the highest esteem,
had any knowledge of the note that had been ad-
dressed to him; he therefore insists that his reply
should be submitted to the Emperor.

DENMARK AND HOLSTEIN.
COPENHAGEN, Ocr. S.

A discussion on the proposal of M. Tscherning, to
ask for a declaration from the government oonoern-
ing the application of article 23 of the constitution
of the whole kingdom, remained without any result.
M. Orld Lehmann proposed that the council should
pass to the order of the day in expressing their views
on the question of Holstein, but afterwards withdrew
his proposition.
The President of the Council of the Kingdom said
in his speech that the government is making con-
tinned efforts to join Holstein constitutionally to the
remainder of the kingdom.
In consequence of this statement M. Tscherning
withdrew his proposal, and M. Orld Lehmann like-
wise withdrew a proposition to forward an address
to the King.
