GERMAN PAPERS.

ITALIAN SWITZERLAND. FEB. Il.—We have laying
before us a letter dated Bologna, Feb 8, which gives the

a .
Mowing details of serious disturbances in that city :
" For some weeks a fermentation in people's minds had
been observed, which was kept up by proclamations se-
cretly distributed by meetings in the coffee-houses, &c.
The absence of the Archbishop, who was at the con-
clave at Rome. and the smallness of the garrison, of not
more than 700 infantry and SO cavalry, in a city with
70,000 inhabitants, seemed' to encourage the agitation.
On the 4th a report was spread that Modena was in a state
of complete insurrection, and that the citizens were fight-
ing with the soldiers. When the mail, which arrived to-
wards the evening, confirmed the report, the conspiracy
broke out here. A great number of young men assem-
bled in the coffee-houses : several speakers addressed them,
and especially exhorted them not to stain their arms with
useless murders. The young men took an oath to
this effect, and engaged to risk every thing for the
freedom of Italy. The Pro-Legate hastily assembled
the principal nobility and the most eminent citizens, to de-
liberate with them on the danger that threatened. While
he was deliberating with them, about midnight, the young
men advanced in arms towards the Palace. The terrified
Pro-Legate had already given orders to the little garrison to
remain passive, from a fear that military aid would be of
no avail, as the conspiracy was so widely extended. The
young men, who were prepared far a serious resistance,
did not find even a sentinel on duty at the Palace. They
hereupon required the Pro-Legate to sign a paper, by which
he resigned the administration to a Provisional Govern-
ment. He at first refused, but the increasing tumult with-
out doors, and the threat to throw him out of the window
if he persisted in his refusal, soon obliged him to yield to
the demands of the insurgents. By this document all the
troops of the legation w, re placed under the Provisional
Government. On the following day (February 5), the
Pro-Legate and the dismissed Colonel of the troops of
the line set out with an escort to Florence. In
all these transactions not a single drop of blood
was spilt. On the sth, early in the morning,
the courier arrived from Roisse with the news of the elec-
tion of the Pope ; he was quite astonished to find the
city illuminated, and the citizens rejoicing in the streets,
till it was explained to him what all this meant. Ile
had the more reason to be surprised, as the Archbishop
had affirmed at Rome that he would be answerable for his
flock. It is added in a postscript :—" We have just learned
that Romagna Ferrara, and the march of Ancona, had
followed the example of Bologna. The Duke of Modena
has left his duchy. It is said here that an insurrection is
expected to take place to-morrow in Parma and Piacenza."
WARSAW, FEB. 7.—The day before yesterday the
Russians passed the frontiers at five places, Uscilerg,
Brzesc, Granoe, Tykocin, and Augusto. Hitherto there
are only Cossacks who mark the movements of the army;
only at Uscilerg some dragoons have entered, be-
longing to the corps of General Giesmar; his design
seems to be to invest Zarnosc, and to advance into the
plain country beyond the Vistula. The Russi in main
army advances on the line from Lomza and 13: vase. Up
to this time there if, no account of any fighting, for there
were no troops on any part of the frontier. The first out-
posts of our army are three leagues from Siedlce towatels
Brzesc, and on the line towards Louisa they are at Os-
trohnka. M. Schmidt, the Prussian Consul, asked for
passports to leave the city as soon as he learnt that the
Russians had entered the kingdom. M. Barzvkowski, a
member of the National Government, and Count Gas-
tavus Malachowski, one of the ministers, go to the army
in order to regulate without delay all civil matters.
The peasantry fly from the frontiers. The cossacks
take from them all their cattle and provisions. More
dread is felt here of the diseases which are said to pre-
vail in the Russian army than of the Russians
themselves. They are described as inflammatory
fevers which carry off great numbers of men. The
hospitals at Grodno, Bialystock, and Luck, are said to be
crowded. On the 31st of January many wounded Rus-
sians were brought to Grodno. It was reported (on what
authority I know not) that two regiments had quarrelled,
and tired on each other. The cause is said to have been,
that it was intended to remove some officers who were
supposed to entertain liberal ideas; that the soldiers re-
sisted this measure, and Count Diebitsch ordered another
regiment to bring them to obedience. A great battle is
expected by the 12th at farthest. Warsaw will soon lie
in a state of siege. The cannon are already placed on the
ramparts. It was not believed that Count Diebitsch
would enter now, because, if the first attack does not
succeed, he incurs great danger, as when the thaw sets in,
the ice will disappear, the rivers will overflow, and the low
ground in which he acts will become a complete morass.
His army advancing against us is about 160,000 men. At
present we have to oppose him only 57,000 men in the
v
field, and the patriotism of our people. The 17 new regi-
ments of infantry are not yet organised. The organisation

The American Papers of the Ist February
contain the following, from a St. Thomas's Paper, dated
the 24th of January :—" We have to notice a horrible
report going about town for the last two days, but to
which no clue has yet been found. It is said that a vessel
has been fallen in with, near St. Domingo, with a great
number of murdered persons on board. It is supposed
that this vessel is the one which was bearing the eques-
trian corps of Mr. HARDING, who was here last year, to

Of this number the Wesc Middlesex is one : they are to
assemble on Thursday next for three weeks' training, pre-
paratory to their being sent on their destination. Orders

have been sent. to the Tower to get in readiness 200,000

duty. The place of exercise has not yet been appointed
by the Adjutant.
On Wednesday morning, as some persons
were taking away the filth from a privy up a yard in the
Iron Market, Newcastle, they discovered the body of a
female infant, which, when first extracted, seemed fresh,
but on being exposed to the atmosphere, quickly exhibited
rapid decomposition. The parish surgeon, on inspecting
the body, discovered that the neck had been dislocated, and
way of opinion that the child was born alive. From the
evidence given, no doubt was entertained who was the
mother, but this we reserve until the party be put on her
trial.—Staffordshire Mercury.
SUDDEN DEATII.—Of the frail and uncer-
tain tenure of human existence a most striking proof oc-
curred on Wednesday night last, the 16th inst. in the
person of a young man of exemplary character, of the
name of WILLIAM TERRILL, an inhabitant of Farnham,
who in the prime of life, being only 26 years of age, had
just retired to bed with his wife, when he was seized by,
the hand of death, and, without uttering a word, in•
stantly expired. An inquest was held by H. Woons, Esq.
Coroner for Surrey, on the following Friday, when a
verdict was returned of—" Death by the visitation of God."

DOLBY'S DICTIONARY OF COOKERY AND
CONFECTIONARY.-This most admirable guide to the
science of good and healthful living, is now to be found in
almost every well-appointed kitchen in the Empire. Pro-
fessed cooks, no less than mistresses of families, are in
the habit of frequently consulting Mr. DOLBY'S well-ar-
ranged pages, which will be found as serviceable during
the present season, as in more festive periods, inasmuch
as the author has provided above two hundred receipts for
dishes appropriated to the time of Lent.
