visit of Prince Albert to the Emperor at Boulogne;
and in describing the departure of his Royal Ifigh-

this memorable interview in remembrance—a meet-
incr. in which the intimate alliance between two
great nations appeared to have been personified."

--SWITZERLAND.
The Swiss official journal Pundesblatt, of the 34
inst., confirms our previous inforniation relative to
the seizure of arms and ammunition in the cantons
bordering on Lombardy, but makes no mention of
the arrest of two Italians at Basle, one of whop
was supposed to be Mazzini. It then adds :
" The Federal Commissariat in the canton of Ticino
formed the Government, by ielegraphic despatch of the
27th ult., that, according to the communications it had
received, an armed invasion of Lombardy is preparilP
in the valley of Poschiaro, under the command of Max'
zinian chiefs. The Federal Council consequently re-
newed to the Governments of the Grisons and Ticino its
invitation to exercise a rigorous surveillance along the
frontier, and to arrest all suspicious individuals. The
Federal Department of Justice and Police has been In-
structed to forward to Berne all the arms and ammo'
nition that have been seized, in order to assist the
magistrates in their investigation."

ATHENS, Aug. 27.—The King has at
given way, and signed General Kalergi's Pviect "
for reorganis;ng the army.
The cholera, after having almost died away at_.??..,
Piraeus, suddenly broke.out again with great vivt
lence, but this augmentation did not happily lae
.
more than two or three days, and it is now agaT
on the decline. The public mind. has, howeveri
received a fresh alarm by the appearance of sever 4,
fatal cases in the town of Athens, which had as
escaped. It is by no means, however, intense, 2:
only five cases have occurred there during eight
days.
The English troops stationed on Mount Pentet

enjoy the beautiful position in which they Al:'/

According to the most recent returns of the 1103'1..

general are very well satisfied with the crops of tbo,
present year. The provinces in which the wha,
has turned out abundant are Brabant, ilesbalet
Flanders, and certain parts of the Hainaut, will
it is expected that the yield will be from 10 to 1.
per cent. more than the average of other yearil•
The crop of rye has not been so uniform in chars
ter ; in some provinces it is abundant, while
in
others it is more or less scanty. In the Waes, for
instance, the yield is estimated at 32 hectolitres per
hectare (the hectolitre is rather more than
lish bushels, and the hectare nearly 2i Englisl!
acres), while in the neighbourhood of Tongres and
Hasselt it is only calculated at 18 hectolitres.
the left bank of the Sambre and Meuse the yield.
has been from 20 to 21 hectolitres, which quan-
tity is regarded as remunerative to the grower.
The crop of oats will exceed the most sanguine
expectations. The quality of the wheat and rye
is in some places not so good as could have been
wished, the former in some localities having ger-
ininated
in consequence of the long continu-
ance of wet weather, and the farmers having
stacked it before it was thoroughly dry, which has
since rendered it necessary for them to take down
the ricks, awl expose the sheaves to the sun and
air. The following are the comparative returns of
the produce in hectolitres per hectare in 1853 and
1854 :
