" WITH GOD, FOR THE KING AND COUNTRY,

" Neufchatelese ! The hour of deliverance has
at last arrived, let the cry of " Long live the King !"
be your rallying cry. To arms, faithful people !
I declare the territory of the Principality in a state
of siege. Each commune will provide for the
immediate establishment of a committee which
will exercise authority in the name of the King,
and inform the authorities of the arsenal of
its having entered on its functions.

" COUNT F. DE POURTALES,
Colonel Commander-in-Chief. "
" La Sagne, 2nd Sept.
" Long live the King ! The King's flag floats
anew from the arsenal of our Neufohatelese princes !
Let us render thanks to God !

" To one faithful people !
" DE MEIIRON, Lieutenant-Colonel,
" Commanding the first three Districts."
The republicans, on their part, published the
following proclamation :
" Neufchatel, 3rd Sept,
" Citizens of the Neufchatelese Republic !—A
violent attack has been made on the Republic, the
Constitution, and the laws. The Council of State
and the Prefect were arrested last night by a troop
of royalists, armed with muskets and swords,
amidst cries of Long live the King !' The Town
Hall and the grand house of the police are in the
bands of the insurgents. This affair will soon
receive its chastisement. But every minute that
passes is like a drop of shame drunk by the
country ! Let republicans and honest citizens
march resolutely in defence of the honour, dignity,
and name of the Republic ! Long live the
Republic ! Long live the Constitution ! Long
live the Confederation !"

When the news of tho rising reached Berne, the
President of the Confederation, in the name of the
Council of State, sent a circular to the Cantonal
Government, informing them of what had taken
place, and of the measures adopted for tho re-
establishment of order.

This insurrection is naturally the great talk of
the day. I told you, yesterday, that the French
government did not look on it at all with a
favourable eye, because it was on behalf of Prussia,
and Prussia is not held in much esteem in govern-
mental regions here. I am assured, in corrobo-
ration of yesterday's statement, that when the
editors of the semi=official journals applied for
instructions as to what side of the question they
were to support, they were answered somewhat
tartly—" How can it be supposed that the French
government can be in favour of insurrection
anywhere !"

It is strongly believed here, that the rising was
got up by the Prussian government, or rather by
the Prussian court; and the belief gains strength
from the fact, that a Berlin letter tells us that
royalist deputations from the Principalities had
frequently been received by the King, and that
the moment the news of the rising arrived at
Berlin, it was sent off hot haste to his Majesty.
The letter asserts, that it was believed that the
King would support the revolution. Perhaps
his Majesty would have done so, if he
had succeeded ; but it is very improbable
that he will think of doing anything for it, now
that it is defeated. Its failure, however, must be
gall and wormwood to him; for the re-establish-
ment of what he calls " his rights" over Nufechatel
has always been one of his darling objects.
People of liberal opinions in this city admire
greatly the energy with which the Republicans of
La Chaux de Fonds took upon themselves, with-
out waiting for the action of the Federal authori-
ties, to vindicate the outraged law, and to re-estab'
lish "order."

PARIS, SUNDAY EVENING

The Swisse, of Berne, which has arrived to day,
says that the precise loss of the insurgents at
Nufeohatel,was fifteen killed and eighteen wounded.
One of the killed, it adds, was a young Count de
Pourtales, and the Count F. de Pourtales, the chief
of the insurrection, who is in custody, is repre-
sented to be dangerously wounded. The number
of prisoners at first taken was J 00, and since then
it has greatly increased. The Swisse says :—" The
republicans are exasperated. It is difficult to
say the great energy which Col. Denzler and the
federal commissioners had to display to restrain the
patriots, they threatened to exterminate the Prus-
sian party. The printing-office of Wolfrat, in which
the Neufchatelois, the royalist organ, was published,
was sacked and burned down." The battalions of
Vaud and Berne had arrived ; Colonel Denzler
remained in command of the republicans, Colonel
Bourgeois in that of the Federal troops. The
French minister at Berne, Count de Salignae had
had an interview with M. Statnpfli, President of
the Federal Council, but the nature of it was not
known.

The pretext of the royalist insurgents is:that the
republican government oppressed them with unjust
taxes. Several of the principal aristocratic families
of Neufchatel emigrated some years ago in order to
escape republican domination.

I riFrace there ia u lathing stirring of importance.
The government, T hear, has determined not to
reply to the second note of the Neapolitan Court,
but to direct its ambassador at Naples, M. Breneir,
to hint very broadly to the King that, if he will not
mend his ways, he must expect a rupture of diplo-
matic relations.

The Siecle, the republican journal, has, within
the last few days, published several articles
in which it showed, from various extracts
from the writings of the Emperor, that he was
in favour of liberty, and that, consequently, liberty
ought to be accorded. Tho semi-official organs,
the Pays and the Constitutionel, published some
sharp replies ; the Siecle retorted, and a very pretty
quarrel seemed imminent ; but the Government
has put an end to it, by ordering its two organs to
give no reply to anything the Siecle may say. It
evidently thinks liberty a dangerous thing to talk
about.

That indefatigable Bonapartist, M. Louis
Couture, who, by his speeches and writings, took a
leading part in preparing the way for the establish-
ment of the Empire, and who, by pen and
tongue, has defended it as warmly since, has, I
hear, just presented to the Senate two petitions,
praying that the deliberations of that body may be
public, and that the jury may be re-established for
the trial of offences of the press. M. Couture
adduces various weighty arglimeuts in support of
his petitions, but what he demands is too
liberal for the Imperial regime. Still, it is not
a little curious that an ardent Bonapartist should
have thus become suddenly liberal:—Does he
foresee that the reign of liberty is once again ap-
proaching in France ? The same gentleman also
petitions the Senate to make it compulsory on
Frenchmen, and especially' on ministers and

officials, to call themselves " subjects," instead of
citizens—an epithet to which they cling, though
they possess nothing of what makes men citizens;
A cashier of the Northern Railway has absconded
with a large sum of money, it is not known how,
much, even by the directors of the company itself
An investigation is now going on, and the dire°
tors are very [anxious that nothing should
be said about the matter in the French papers, but
this is not a reason for an English journal keepos
back a fact of so much importance. The amount
is variously estimated at from £20,000 to £40,000
sterling, but this can only be a mere guess.
It is known that Prince Napoleon did not mak°
his voyage in the north anything like so long as he
intended. The reason, I am informed, is, that it
was deemed prudent to recal him, on account
the disquietude which at one time was felt about
the Emperor.
The return of the Emperor and Empress from
Biarritz is not to take place until the Ist October.,
The quantity of Algerian cotton of the crop e.l
1855, to be sent to Algeria for sale, is 7014'
kilogrammes (the kilogramme is rather more tbs.!)
2 lbs ) Thus, you see that, in a few years, it Is
almost certain that Algeria will be a large cotton
producing country.
No change worth noticing has taken place in
the commercial situation of the country during the
past week.

The Madrid Gazette of the 3rd, which has arrffe'
to-day, contains the royal decree for dissolving the
Cortes, and the report on which it is founded. Th°,
latter is of great length. It accuses the Cortes °'

wisdom and modesty, etc. It also says, that the
present is a favourable opportunity for actiog
energetically with regard to the Parliament.

of the journals which have arrived here, exprees

fears that the insurrection at Neufchatel Ws:
encouraged more or less secretly by several of the
leading Powers ; and that, consequently, the
violent suppression of it will lead to grave comp
cations. From all I hear, however, in We
informed quarters of this city, I do not think ales'.
events any ground for such apprehension.

THE CORONATION AT

MOSCOW.

MOSCOW, SUNDAY, SEPT. 7'
His Imperial Majesty the Emperor Alexander

The ceremony took place in the UspeDS d
Ssobor, and the act of coronation was perforioe

Sultan.

The proceedings had all that august appearollel
which immense preparation had designed. iio
An immense crowd assembled at the ICrelln;
Palace and in the streets, and very grrrello
enthusiasm was everywhere manifested. "'do
ringing of bells, the firing of cannon,, the Pollia
of troops, the ceremonials of the Church,
procession to the Palace, and the decoratol3
of the city, rendered the whole affair 133°0

inspiriting.
The coronation vcas favoured by beau
weather. Count Orloff was created a Prial
