departure to-day for B.rlia.

MARCH 23.

The long end impatiently expected—;;;;;;al
constitution for Vienna was published to-day, and
will no doubt give rise to a great deal of discussion.
The principle laid down by the authors of the com-
munal law of the 17th of March, 1849, "that free
corporations are the very essence of a free state," is
become unfortunately matter of history. We are
snare of all the dithmlties wh;ch, in the constitution
of a state, present themselv-it when applied to such a
as Vienne, with its various and important in-
terests, especially as the s'o'ute in this respect must
serve as the rule for the capitals of the crown lands.
The intelligence conveyed by telegraph three days
ago from Trieste, is thus gi%en in the Osservature
Tri( also of the 20. h ins'.: "The news from Greece
brought last night by the steamboat from the Levant,
does not confirm the report curre:.t in Corfu of the
departure of the English fleet for the Dardanellee.
Although all interruption to freedom of trade had
ceased, yet the Anglo-Greek dispute remained as it
was. There was the lees probability, too, of its being
brought to an amicable issue, from the disinclination
manifested by the Greek government to enter into
negotiations with the French minister, Baron Gros,
so long as the Engli-h fleet remains before Salamis,
and the cap•ured are not restored. So far from there
being any probability of these conditions teing
granted, England has recently put in fresh claims.

Frauds practised on the revenue for army years by
one ot our first-rate houses in the Manchester trade
have been la.ely discovered. It seems the firm bad
undervalued th. ir imports by 50 per cent., and in other I
ways defrauded the Customs to an immense amount.
An Investigation as to the real extent is still going
I on, and is no easy task, having to refer back to books
' some of which area quarter ot a century old, making
it very difficult to arrive at the difference between
the di Glared and the real value at the time. In the
course of this investigation it was discovered
that the same firm Las smuggled goods, de-
claring packages as transit goods, and Belling
them here, and sending out other packages with
the stole ma,ks, but ot much smaller sisal, or
containing articles duty free. There being no govern-
ment warehouse., nor any custom-house where
packages are examined, the merchants take the goods
they import to their own warehouses, and sign the
declarations of their cnntents on oath. The smuggler,
therefore, may be proceeded against not only for the
amounts of the defrauded revenue and the fines, but
likewise for perjury, which will probably be done in
this instance, the crime having been committed so
repeatedly. The circumstance is creating a great
deal of sensation in our mercantile world, Soli on
acoonnt of the extent of the fraudulent transactions
and of the standing of the house.
There was a report on 'Change to-day that the
peace between Pru.s'a and Denmsrk was signed.
Phis, however, seemed to be premature; but, by all
accounts frcm Berlin and Copenhagen, very little
doubt is lift that it will be done within a short period.
It appears that the suggestion which Lord Palmerston
threw out more than a twelvemonth ego, viz., to
divide Schleswig, and to sum x the southern part to
Holstein, and the northern to Jutland, will be
adopts d after all, and the line which occupies the
Danish throne will be extinct : the lormer will fall to
the Augustenberg dynasty, while the latter will re-
main with the female descendants of the royal line,
that is Prince Frederic of Hesse Caen', or his
mother, if she survives.
