We have letters from our correspondents at Rome
and Naples to Feb. 24. At Rome" imprisonments still
go on upon such a wholioutle wale u to make no one
feel sate from the midnight rounds of the shirri." The
sculp'or Rinaldi, his family, and the young men who
worked in his studio, had been arrested en niase,
apparently only because they expressed thernsi-lves
somewhat freely on political matters. Dr. Millingen
hul been declared by the police to be comprised in
the condenited category. By a recent circular go
vernment empty*s are prohibited from wearing
beards, whiskers, or moustaches, as being republican
and revolutionary.
The severe restrictions on the press had brought
printers into a state of the greatest distress. The re-
cent appointmeLts in the war department had greatly
surprised the public—that of Gen. Kelbermatten, to
the ministry of war—he having been accused of em-
bezzlement to the amount of 80,000 dollars at the
commencement of I'io Nono's reign, and removed
from utile service in consequence ; that of the ex-
intendant Cataldi, to his old post; and the restoration
of Capt. Pfyffer to the post of captain of the Swiss
guard, from which he was dismissed by the Pope on
a charge of pecuniary peculation. Nothing was
known or expected of the return of his holiness.
Letters from Loretto, of the 10th ult., announce
that 20 bishops are about to aasemble there for the
interests of religion. Amongst them are 12 prelates
of the Marshes, of whom four are cardinals, the
Archbishop of Urlimo and his six suffragans and the
Bishop of Fano. Cardinal Angelis, Archbishop of
Fenno, by special appointment of the Pope, is to
preside.

From Naples we hear that 14,000 Neapolitan
troops were shortly to march for the Roman frontier.
Mr. Bayard, the young American officer spoken of in

GERMANY.

VIENNA, FEB. 25.

I send a letter, written by Count Leiningen to his
sister-in-law, on the day after his senterce to b
barged had been pronounced by the court-martial at
Arad. That sentence was as yet a arcret known only
to his judges; and I can conceive nothing more cal
culated to set this page of Austrian history in its true
moral light than to contemplate side by side on the
one hand this natural outpouring of a noble heart,
little suspecting the horrible doom so near; and, on
the other, the instruments of a treacherous and
bloody government getting ready their halters and
gibbets. This letter is also the moat effectual answer
to those dastardly calumnies which were industri-
ously circulated Noir at its victims by the organs of
the Vienna cabinet. The lady to whom the letter is
address.d is the sister of Count Leiningen's widow,
and the wile of Colonel liohonesy, who escaped
indeed with his life, but has been immured in a
fortress, where he is condemned to pine for eighteen
years.
" Dear, kind Clara,—Your tidings about my little
girl tranquillised me not a little; for although Lisa
(his wife), in her last letter, gave me a comforting ac-
count of her, I fancied that she kept back somewhat
of the truth to avoid incressirg my anxiety. I am,
notwithstanding, still uneasy about the poor little
thing. Her health was always weak; and the mine
I clung to the child, the more anxiously I watched
her slow thriving. When I left my family, I had
the best hopes, for my darling was then well and
blooming, and began even to wax strong; and now
fresh attacks of illness shatter her delicate frame, and
awake in are once more all my old apprehensions.
If the tendance of a mother full of love avail, with
God's help she will recover.
" Yesterday the court-martial eat, and my sentence
among others was pronounced. The nature of it is
known only to the judges; but, according to the
letter of the law, it can only be a sentence of death.
"You are right, dear Clara, in supposing that I can
bear willingly to be talked to about the doom which
perhaps awaits me. In twenty battles I have looked
death in the face, in the last (God forgive me!) I
sought it. During six weeks I have had time enough
to prepare for it ; and stood I alone, had I no family,
I would even bid it welcome. Twice only during my
imprisonment was I overcome by anguish, and then
it wrung from me bitter tears. Once I wept
about my little girl ; and the other time
when I was judicially examined on account
of that newspaper article. I had been
long prepared ; and yet when that slanderous letter
in the Allgemeine Zeiltew was read before me, my
firmness abandoned me, pain and indignation hook
me like a fever, and five minutes elapsed before I
could utter a word. At the court-martial I asked the
auditor if I could hope to see myself quickly cleared
in this matter. He answered, " There is not a mem-
ber e f the court who gives credit to the article, which
is besides anonymous ; neither will it exercise the
smallest influence upon your trial." I can say
truly that I have in the course of the
war saved many hundreds of Austrians, among
whom not a few were officers. No one
towards his soldiers was so strict as I. Once, at
Szolnok, I clove the skull of an Hence, who was
about to shoot a Grenztr begging quarter on his
knees : yet was my good name not safe from so
abominable a defamation, but branded before all
Europe. My nerves are tot weak but they were
ohaken by this foul calumny : and it cost me come
right heavy days.
I am now, I thank God, become as a stone to s. If
and to the world: and fate bring wall it may, will
find me armed.

You think, were I restored to freedom, that I
*herald become purer and better. We protestants,
alb, we hale nu purgatory, believe that God lays
upon us trisls, in which our moral strength must bear
us up, in order that we may deserve his grace. I con-
sider in this light my present situation, and I can
assure you that the sehrol of bitter undeeeptions has
not passed over me without leaving some trcce. Pt r-
haps you are rig!.t, and I trust that I shall be a better
man than heretofore.

" All your hopes of amnesty have already occupied
us here. It seems, indeed, probable that, after ele-
mercy has been shown in Italy, and even toward■
Peterwardcin, the whole severity of the law w'll not
b • visited upon us alone. lot 1 count upon nothil,g,
and make to myself no illusi ms. For myself, I have
no further solicitude, no further hopes or wishes ;
but I am beset with care and pain for the lot of those
who belong to me. If I must die. I will die in the
creed of my fathers, and with the courage of a Leicia-
gen ; if I am set at liberty, there will breathe no hap-
pier man, nor any more thankful to God.
" You ask if your letters are agreeable to me. Can
you dquht it? Wri'e, write long letters, each letter
id a day lived happily through, fit o::e reads and
reads again to devour the expressions of affection,
which smile serenely upon the solitude of a prison.
If I do not always answer, or answer briefly, at:"

writs to me, dear Clara, u often as you have tine to
busy yourself: with me.
" Meanwhile, I am not usually so lonely as you
think. Thoughts of whom I love keep me company,
and their images stand even before me ; end then the
remembrance s of en ever memorable year, which I
am endeavouring to fix on paper, occupy (iv:. My
day begins at 7 and closes at 9: and so s dicitous am
I about accurst: ly observing the apportionment of
time which I give to my several occupations, from
bru.hing my clothes (which I do, not from want of
service, hut of my own will) up to reading, thinking,
and writing, that hitherto I hive kept ennui ut a
distance.
" May God protect-you with his all-powerful arm,
and dictate to you right many letters for your bro•ht r-
in-law CHARLES.

" Fortress of Arad, Sept. 27, IS-19.
P.S. I have yet one more petition to make, dear
Clara. Write to me nothing of doubt and distrust
against Girgey; for thereby you doubt me. Leave
me my belief in the great character of this man. I
may be mistaken in him, but it gives me pain to hem.
aught to his disadvantage."

Feu 24.

Your readers will remember that Liew.-Geriera 1
Count Lemberg, who was charged with full powers
by the Emperor Ferdinand, was assailed by a furious
mob on the bridge at Peeth, and that he perished
pierced with wounds. This lamentable event. which
was attributed to the Magyar party, took place in
the month of September, 1818 ; and must Lice made
sufficient noise at the time to be still in the rceollce-
Boa of your readers. One of the murderers, named
Kolosy, a Wallachian, was executed three weeks ago.
The proceedings at his trial, which should have been
published. heev.e remained a secret, and the authori-
ties only inform the public that the confessions
made by the condemned charge—Koseuth, the scale.
goat emissary, with having. arranged the whole
affair. However reepectab'e is this allegation of the
Austrian au•horities, it is not sufli ient for the public,
who are accustomed to such charges, and therefore
require somewhat better of proof of hie guilt.
Two or three months after the murder of Count
Lemberg, another, and equally horrible assassination
was committed in Selavonia which has been concealed
with the gr. atest possible care. The victim on that
occasion was a Count Elz, a member of a very noble
Bavarian family, and the son-in-law of Count l'ejacr-
rich, a Hungarian Magnate. Count Elz lived upon his
property close to &leek, and bad remained a perfect
stranger to the political agitations in Hungary ; if he
possessed any political opinions at all—which is held
to be doubtful—they most have been similar to
those entertained by the other members of his family,
nearly all of whom belong to the imperial party, to
the cause of order and legitimacy, to the honest men,
the men of moderation, as the Austrians pleasantly
style themselves, while they are hanging and shooting
their fellow men by the dozen. This Count Elz, how-
ever, became suspected, pcsalibly because ho abstained
from all interference in political matters. Hie cheteau
was invaded one day by the imperial " 0 ren zee?' whom..
Croatian or Wallachian soldiers employed in guarding
the frontiers : they seized upon the count's papers,
without, however, discovering even the shadow of
I culpability. Neverthelcea, he was seized and hurried
1 into the garden by these infamous soldiers, and there
I exposed to a cross fire, under the eyes of a major and
I several other officers. The count, however, stil
breathed, when one of the monsters stifled him by
forcing a handful of tobacco down his throat.

This murder by regular troops of the Austrian
army, of a peaceful and inoffensive man has not been
revenged, nor will it be, because it is not a political
,question. The young Countess Els has retired with
her two children to Munich, where the relations of
her murdered husband reside.

In the past week three prisoners esasped from
thtir confinement in Presburg. Two have been re-
taken; they were both majors in the Hungarian
army, but it is said Prussians by birth. This attempt
has been punis'ied with fifty blows with leather
thongs : hazel sticks being reserved exclusively for the
bentfit of the imperial troops.
The Prefiburg municipality has just ascertained the
number of troops who have been lodged and boarded
in that town since the entry of Windiechgratz on the
18th December, 1848, until the let January, 1850—a
period of one year and thirteen days. Tue figures
are rather curious:-116,119 officers; 1,341,907
soldiers of all kinds ; 339,136 horses.

GREECE.

The Courtier d'Atle,n,s, of the 18th te.t., puts as
in posasasion' amongst others, of a copy of the follow-
ing note, doted Feb. 9, and addressed by Sir Thos.
Wyse to M. London :
fhe undenigned has the honour to announce to !d
Lmdoe, that he has transmitted to the British government
a ropy of the note addressed to him by M. Glarakie, on the
17th (29th) Nov., 1819, in reply to the cute of the
undersigned, of the 19th July last, es well es others
of Sir E lmund Lyons, dated the 27th October,
1839, 23rd Sep., 1841, 14th Sep., 1843, and 13th
March, 1819, all of which contained repr...eentations to the
Greek goverumset on the subject of acts committed by per
sons who pretended to be employed by that government on
the islands Cervi and Sspienas, in violation of the rights of
sovereignty exercised over those islands by the looiau state
to which they belong.
By a despa•ch from Viscount Palmerston, principal Secre-
tary for Foreign Affairs, dated the 24th January, 1830, and
received on the 7th instant, the undersigned was enjoined to
inform M. Landes, that previous he the date of the note of
M. Glarakis of the 17th (29th) Nov. 1849, the British go
vernmeut hmitg seen the necessity of at once protecting the
lonian territory against a recurrence of proceedings so un-
jut,tilittble as those which took place when the lonian pri-
soners were set at liberty at Cervi in the mow h of February,
1849, bad given orders for measures to be taken for
the removal of all foreign intruders, not being subjects of the
I oni tn State. And, in fact, taking into consideration that
the Greek government has not only not replied fur severs!

.. -
years to th;dillerent letters above ['unarms , bat that it has
even denied their reccptirm, M. Loudos canna be surprised
that the British goverfoneat sheold at !act fed the Oil gation
of itse:f proceed': u (Head the rights confided to the pr
tectiin of Great Britain.
I. re ult., however, at thl prusent moment, from the note
of M. Glaraki., dated the I;th (.29th) Nov., that, persuaded
that the pe nt:µl stipula,aons by whim the extent of use terri-
torial rights of the lonian State has been defined and
hut!, are found in the treaty concluded in 179 T at Ctmpo
Formic, between Aus'ria and France, as well as in those

signed in 14199 and 178 at Carlambi and Pilaw oWitsbe-
tween the Porte and Venice, the Greek government main-
taiw the lonian stale can only pretend to the islands
which belon.-,ed toVenice previous to Las 3 the period at which
the war began which terminated with the treaty of Carl ,wits.
The uaidersigced hat been direct dto n ply to M. LJudos
th it the tits' in virtue of which the lonian state possesses
the islands of Cervi and Sapienza, as well as the other small
islands which are equally di pendent on the seven principal
islands of the lonian state is founded net on the treaties of
Campo Formic, Carlowitz, ante Pallelf3WitZ, but rather
upon the treaty signed at istii on the 51 NOT., 1815, be-
tween Greet Britain, Austria, Russia, and Prussia ; and that
the only other treaty which Great Britain can recognise to
I contain a descril.tion of the lonian State and its dependencies
is that which was concluded in 1800 between Hama and the

Part*, which describes the islands in the following tartar
The i.buids of Corfu, Zante, Cephalonia, Santa lieu's,
Ithaca' Paz., and Certro, and all the large and small
islands inhabtad sad uoithAiited situated opposite the
coasts of the Mona aLd Albania, which have been detached
from Vienna, and which have just been conquered."
It is by virtue of the a' Ova mentioned treaty, and of the
special guarantee of Russia, that the septineultir republic
was organised, and its constitution established, and that
the sups me legislative to dy nf that republic undertook in
1804 to determine the principal unmade to which the smaller
ones which are particularly mentioned in the treaty of 'WO
should be particularly annexed. la consequence, the lonian
legislative body declared, by its set of the 22nd January,
!MA, let, that the 'mall islands of Strivoli, Itarathonisi,
Peluso, Prentauove, Prodano, Sapietzt, Porto-Selinari,
Venetia, and all the others scattered about the sea as tar
as Cape Gallo, should belong seed should be morally
and politically united to the island ot Zsnte. godly. Teat
the small .islands inhabited and uninhabited of Cerigcno,
Poro, Paretto, Dragonern Cervi, and all the others between
Cape S. Angelo and Caron, should belong and should be
morally and politically united to the island of Cerigo.
_ .

U at
when
Thai re n ,by virtue of. the treaty of 1815,
became the protector of the lonian State, it found the
islands of B.pienza and Creel united to Z ante and Cerigo by
a formal and public act of the septinsetar rerubhc, and
Great Britain is consequently bnuid to maintain intact the
state of the territorial possessions of the lonian Islands such
as it wu when those islands were committed toits charge by
the treaty of 1815.
The undersigned must further inform the Greek govern.
meat, that in 1819 the Porte, the incontestable sovereign of
the territory whi.th now forms the kingdom of Greece, for-
mally joined the treaty of 1815, by au act of ratiticei ni,
signed at Canatantinopla on the 21.1 e April, 1819. It steno,
however, that the Greek govereuent pretends that SAO.
enza and C. rvi continued to de cecui ied by the Porte
until the peel .d of the independence of Li.eece ; thet those
islands were occupied by the tintk a,.Tcrnatt nt ether that
p•rio •, and the they are therefore included in the territory
assigned to the kingdom of Greece.
The undersigne,: must declure in reply, that both Sa-
pienza and Cerei were inspected by the lonian authorities in
1817 and loved uninhabited, and that whin Sir Henry

Wsrd, the present Lord High Commismoner of the lonian
Islands, visited theseme islands in the course of the summer of
1549, the former remained uninrr.t cd, while in Carl there
was only one house and 50 inbabi ants scattered 'Woad and
living in trnparary dwelling. But it subjects of the Porte

or of the thug ot Greece hive ever occupied tither the one
or the other of these islands, they have in doing so committed
an act of aggression on the lonian territory. While
to the assertion of M. Glarakis, is which he
invokes the treaty which tstablishe I the independence
of Greece, and fixed the limits o' this; kingdom, the under-
signed bogs to remind M. Londos that the insular limits of
Greece were defined by the protoc 1 of the conference held
in London of the 3rd ot Februm , 1830, which alter havios
t:estrilcd a northern line of demarcation for the continental
portion of the Greek kingdom, and after having established
that "all the territoros and coun•ries situated to the
south of this line shall consinue to term a port
of the 01 man empire," mu:dudes by enumerating
and specifying the blends which ought to be-
long to the kingdom ot Greece in the fAlowing
terms: " There shall equally b, long to Greece, the whole of
the island of Negropont, with the islands cf Brads and
Skyro, and the islands former 4 kn.,wn as the Cyclades,
comprising therein the island of Ateereo." It is evident
therefive, that no island, except t'sese which have been thus
specified, could ever be clots:aid by virtue of the treaty, as
belonging to the kingdom ot Grerco.
Tho undersigned has Wither been &sired to declare to
M. Londoe that the Gee, k g ,virnment is not authoric d by
any treaty or existing public net to claim the islands of
Sapiens& and Cervi, and that it is incontis'ably proved by
the treaties of 1815 and 1810, mentioned above, as well as
by the act of the Septiosular it: public of 1814, that this«
two islands belong to the lonian S:rte.
In mending this communication, the undersigned can
only point to the consideration and ri erect which the Waist.
government have shown towards that of Green', in the
manner of treating this goes ion; and must express a fear
that the British gov.rnment may he (nue o offended by the
manner in which the Wet k government has chosen to re-
ply. In a pointed exposit, which the undersigned must
considir, though with great rionstnatim, on emanating from
the Minister of Foreign Abhors in Greece, it has been
sought to create the belief that the British government
had neglected to take into consideration Mons.
Glarakis's note of the 17th and 29,k November,
