LONDON, TUESDAY, MARCH 27, 1849.

Another opportunity is afforded the Plenipoten-
tiaries of England, Prussia, and Denmark for the
negotiation of peace in reference to the Scandinavian
Duchy of Schleswig. A brief, but still important,
extension of the armistice to the 15th of April
still opens to our view the perspective of an ultimate
and satisfactory settlement, supposing at least that
the rather dubious rumour of that extension should
be corroborated.

was silently augmenting its vigour under the empi-
rical purple of the dynasty of Brandenburg. Every
honest he au •t must simultaneously have sympathized
with the M: onarch, who, on the very morrow of that
memorable day upon which he proved himself
worthy or kiirecting the destinies of a great race, by
voluntarily showering upon them the practical bless-
ings of a f ree constitution and a liberal government,
found him self compelled to arm in haste in the an-
cient halls of his fathers, to cross with his soldiers the
billows rolling between the northern seas and the
Baltic, and to fight for the honour of his crown and
the integrity of his dominions against a powerful and
colossal antagonist. As we have already observed,
however, matters have changed with marvellous
rapidity since the first outbreak of those hostilities.
Denmark has lost the opportunity of obtaining any
immediate assistance from her gigantic neighbour the
AUTOCRAT. Recent occurrences in Hungary
have drawn a considerable section of the
Russian forces into Transylvania ; and lat-
terly a still larger division of the military
nower of the CZ AR has been concentrated
upon the frontiers of Bessarabia to the end that by
occupying the Danubian principalities, by marching
through Moldavia and Wallachia upon Roumelia, by
aiding the intrigues of TITOFF upon the Bosphorus,
and by strengthening the ferocity Of DUHAMEL in
Bucharest, the Cossacks might forward the designs of
their Imperial master upon the Turkish capital of
Constantinople. While FREDERICK WILHELM was vio-
lating the peace of Frederickstadt in one quarter, NI..
C HOLAS was setting at defiance the treaty of Adrianople
in another. Between her avaricious friend and her
avaricious enemy, Denmark found herself abandoned
to her own resources and flung heedlessly upon her
own destinies. Meanwhile the position of Prussia
was altered in regard to the difficulties of the ques-
tion relating to Schleswig• Holstein, and it was altered
scarcely less surprisingly for Prussia than it had been
already for Denmark. New reasons had suddenly
sprung into existence for the propitiation of public
feeling throughout Germany by the royal occupant of
the palace of Sans-Souci at Potsdam. It became
necessary for the King of PRUSSIA to flatter
the predilections of the lovers of tranquillity through-
out the forty states of fatherland, and to obliterate, if
possible, the recollection of his very pitiable conces-
sions to the clamours of a warlike faction, and to the
dictates of his own appetite for spoliation. The bribe to
peace which began to glitter before the eyes of the
descendant of FREDERICK was nothing less than the
diadem to be placed upon the brows of the Emperor
of Germany. A temptation more seductive than
the soil of Schleswig shone before him, and caused
him almost to repent his previous precipitation.
Such, in brief, are the contrary obstacles
which have suddenly arisen between the
belligerents in Southern Jutland. Prussia is
disposed to modify her insolent demands upon Den-
mark from a solicitude not to render herself odious
in the estimation of the Central Diet at Frankfort.
Denmark, on the other hand, is inclined to mitigate
the extent and bitterness of compensation required by
her from Prussia, because she feels herself in a measure
forsaken by her enormous ally from the superior
attraction of the great city commanding the channel
of the Dardanelles.

From all these considerations it must be sufficiently
manifest that there are twofold inducements—induce-
ments leaning severally towards Berlin and Copen-
hagen—which must facilitate to a certain extent the
arrangements for a reconciliation.

Meanwhile, of course, both powers are accumulat-
ing, by every possible means, the forces at their dis-
posal ; for the armistice, although unexpectedly pro-
tracted, according to the rather questionable report
already noticed, terminates, at the very latest,
on the 15th of April. And the countless
experiences of history are scarcely needed to
remind the Sovereigns of Prussia and of Denmark
that negotiations for peace are under the most favour-
able circumstances liable to abrupt accidents and as-
tounding catastrophes. The commonest feelings of
prudence are consequently impelling both Monarchs
to increase their military and naval armaments. Es-
pecially are those precautions justified in the present
instance, considering the somewhat complicated
character of the rival claims advanced by the royal
antagonists. Beyond which the sentiments of
honour in the two nations—the false honour of
Prussia and the true honour of Denmark—are
simultaneously inciting them along that bloody track
of contention which their reason and their interest
are nevertheless impelling them to abandon.
Those who have not observed the duration of the
quarrel still pending between the Ministers at Berlin
and at Copenhagen, will be doubtless astonished on
learning the extent of the time during which
they have been at open variance. By a singular
coincidence the very day upon which the extended
armistice (if true) will have been brought to a con-
clusion—namely, the 15th of April—the anniversary
will have arrived of the day upon which the Chevalier
BUNSEN presented the postscript of his ingenious and
sophistical " Memoir" upon the subject of Schleswig-
Holstein to her MAJESTY'S Principal Secretary for
the Foreign Department. It is earnestly to be hoped
for the sake of Germany and of Denmark, and for
the sake also of the peace of Christendom, that that
anniversary will not be permitted to arrive before the
settlement of these protracted negotiations.

There are three classes of intending emigrants, for
whose assistance and protection in their " battle with
the wilderness" due provision should be made before
their embarkation on the " wide world of waters."
First, those who are possessed of means sufficient to
defray the entire expenses of the journey and of their
location in their future homes ; secondly, those who
although they may be enabled to contribute some-
thing towards these expenses, and to defray perhaps
the cost of their passage, must receive some pecuni-

ary assistance before they will be in a position to
maintain themselves and families by their own
honest industry; and, thirdly, the paupers, who
could do nothing for themselves, but should be entirely
supported until they reached their destinations, and
could make their labour fully available. Of course
we exclude from our consideration (at least on the
present occasion) the convicts, or involuntary emi-
grants, who for their offences against society have
forfeited a certain portion of their natural freedom,
and who must, for a time at least, be continued in a
state of coercion in penal settlements selected for the
purpose.

Very different provisions must be made for these
various classes. The first have the world before them
where to go. There are no limits to their freedom
of choice ; they may select their own destination,
and the chief object will naturally be to direct their
footsteps to the quarter holding out the greatest in-
ducements for enterprise, and affording the most pro-
pitious auguries for future prosperity. Such persons
will have to consider the amount of capital at their
disposal, the particular species of labour for which
they are best qualified, the privations they may
have to encounter in the first instance, the salubrity
or insalubrity of the several districts which they may
be disposed to select; the religion, civil institutions, go-
vernment and taxation of the different states, so that
all their resources may be turned to the best advan-
tage, and they may look forward to a home suited to
their wants and wishes, where they may have every
reasonable prospect of enjoying comfort and prosperity
during their future career. The decision will be one
of some difficulty. Many elements must enter into

he calculation before the balance of probable advan

tage or disadvantage can be fairly adjusted, and they
can be duly qualified to form a final and irrevocable
judgment—a judgment of such deep and vital import-
ance to their future welfare and happiness.
It is to persons of this first class that pri-
vate associations affording the fullest and most
authentic information, and arranging plans for
mutual co-operation, will be peculiarly ad-
vantageous. By availing themselves thereof every
item of expenditure may not only be lessened in
amount, but, what is perhaps of still greater import-
ance, it may be estimated with the greatest accuracy,
so that every calculation may be made with absolute
certainty before their,departure from their native land.
They will also be guarded against the frauds to which
individuals or families are peculiarly exposed on their
first arrival in the new world. The deceitful misre-
presentations too often made by designing swindlers,
and by
which so many have been stripped of their all,
and consigned to
poverty and distress, cannot injure
those who are thus protected, nor are they liable,
entire find that they have parted with their
property for the purchAse of hinds to which

they can obtain no valid titles. These are, indeed,
advantages of no ordinary character, of which every
prudent man will gladly avail himself, and thus avert
the risks and contingencies to which he would other-
wise be peculiarly liable.
The United States and Canadian Emigration
Society, to whose admirable project we have already
(on Thursday, the 15th March inst.) directed the
public attention, will supply this great desideratum.
They have entered into the details of their plan, by
which the expense of removing an entire family,
with any number of adult or infant children,
and placing them in the actual possession of
a farm, with every requisite necessary for
the due cultivation and enjoyment thereof,
may be immediately ascertained. The association
have acquired an estate consisting of 153,400 acres of
land in Hopkins County, Eastern Texas, three-fourths
of which, in conformity with their original under-
taking, they intend to dispose of at cost price,
adding thereto a small commission proportioned to
the number of acres in each farm or location, founded
on the cost and expenses attending the transport to
the spot. This estate is to be divided into 1,910 lots,
of 80 acres, each of which will provide com-
fortably for a family of emigrants. Each al-
lotment is intended to consist of " about two
thirds prairie or lightly-timbered park-like pasture
land, not requiring to be cleared for immediate culti-
vation, and one-third of contiguously situated tim-
bered land ;" and the purchaser of one lot will also
be entitled to a town lot of a quarter of an acre in
extent; and the allotments are so arranged as to be
as nearly as possible of equal value. The first
two hundred families will be given a priority of
choice, which cannot be extended to subsequent emi-
grants, who will have their positions assigned by lot
previously to their departure. Applications to
join the first two hundred families will be entered
according to the date of the receipt, and such
applicants will receive immediate notice of being in-
cluded in the list, for which vessels will be ready
to sail from Cork and Liverpool in the course of
the ensuing month.

For the full advantages to be obtained by
parties availing themselves of the opportunities
placed within their reach by the association, we
must refer to the advertisement which will be found
in another part of our impression. For a payment
proportioned to the size of the family there will be
given, in addition to the allotment of which the as-
sociation binds itself to put him in possession imme.
diately on his arrival, and which are included in the
purchase money of the lot—
" First-:-A free passage from the port of embarkation
to the place of settlement, with rations during the water
passage and land journey, from New Orleans to the town
of Tarrant.

" Secondly—Six months' provisions from the time of
his arrival there.

" Thirdly—Two bullocks, one cow and calf, and two
pigs.
.. _ .

Fourthly—lmplements of husbandiy and seeds, viz. :
a plough and gears, a log chain and ox-yoke, a set of
harrow .teeth, ten lbs. nails, a hammer, an axe, a spade, a
hoe, a grubbing hoe, a saw, two augurs, two chisels, a
jackplane, a scythe, a rake, and a pitchfork, with seeds
for the first year's planting.
" Fifthly— A log-house, 18 feet square by 10 feet in
height, in the erection of which the emigrant will have
to assist."

The above-mentioned articles, together with a
farm of eighty acres, and a town lot of a quarter of
an acre, will enable any industrious family to raise
an abundant supply of all the necessaries of life. A
man and his wife, without family, may secure these
advantages for the sum of 731. ls. 9d., and any addi-
tional allotments of land at the cost of ss. per acre.
All persons may, therefore, suit themselves in pro-
portion to the means at their command, and if they
desire can obtain cabin or intermediate pas-
sages on the payment of a moderate sum
in addition. The peculiar advantages of the
locality chosen in Texas may be learned from
the perusal of "Advice to Emigrants," appended to
the society's prospectus, which enters into the
various points with great clearness and ability. We
cannot doubt that many who have decided on seeking
their fortunes in another hemisphere will fix on
Texas, where the climate is mild and salubrious, the
lands fertile and productive, and the taxation ex-
tremely light (not being more than a shilling per
annum on a hundred acres), and that they will do so
through the agency and on the estate of the
association.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
The day (the 26th) which had been announced by
the Constitutionnel more than a week since as the
day fixed on for a manifestation passed off without
the least attempt at any disturbance, notwithstanding
the efforts of the agens provocateurs to get up some
movement, as an excuse for enabling the Government
to call in the aid of General CIIANGARNIER, and
destroy the Republic. The people now are
become wise, and instead of giving General
CHANGARNIER an opportunity of restoring the
public peace, they obstinately refuse to break it,
and by so doing, bind over the General and the
Ministers (much to their disappointment) to keep the
public peace also.
The .Reforme of yesterday offers the following ex-
cellent advice to the people :
" Impatience is urging on the Monarchist parties;
they are frightened by the calmness of the people. For
the last eight days the journals of the re-action an-
nounce a manifestation for Monday, the 26th (this day).
This manifestation prepared, underhand, has for its ob-
ject to compromise the Republic.
" In the name of the Republic the Democratic-So-
cialist journals invite citizens to remain calm, and to be
on their guard against every sort bf provocation. Let
not any well-feeling man allow himself to be led away.
The safety of the Republic depends upon it."
Marshal BUGEAUD, having been informed of the
intention of the inhabitants of Valence to give him a
banquet, he has addressed to them a letter in which
is the following passage :
" I am most highly flattered by the sentiments which
this project indicates, and I should be very happy to lend
myself to it, had I not such decided convictions as to
what concerns public political banquets. I consider them
in principle as great dangers, as an arm made use of by
turbulent minorities to overawe calm majorities. I con-
stantly disapprove of those which the Red Republicans
and Socialists get up with an anarchical object; and, far
as I am from comparing your views with those of these
factious men, the act, it appears to me, would be the
same. The great party of order and moderation would
add its example in support of a deplorable abuse. This
should be avoided, in order that the marked reprobation
of good and well meaning men may supply the silence of
the law."
The report of the death of M. BLIN DE BOURDON
from cholera is contradicted.

The Journal des Dibats, in commenting :on the
debate on Italy in the House of Lords, after remark-
ing that Lord ABERDEEN argued absolutely as if
nothing new had occurred in Europe during the year
184 E, and that it was the Minister who had to remind
him that during that year an accident had occurred
called the Revolution of Paris, pays the following
well-deserved compliment to the NESTOR of the Whigs,
the Marquis of LANSDOWNE :-" We do not dissemble
the dangers with which this renewal of hostilities
menaces the peace of Europe, but we join in the hope
so nobly expressed by Lord LANSDOWNE, that the good
intelligence existing between the two great powers of
the west, may perhaps be able to spare the evils of
the general war. We may add that these senti-
ments, expressed by Lord LANSDOWNE, have in our
opinion a particular value, because they are not
merely inspired by the occasion, but that they are
also in conformity with the political principles which
have never varied. Lord LANSDOWNE is one of the
most venerable representatives of that great liberal
and philosophical school which saluted in England
the first triumphs of the French Revolution. He is
at present the purest, and almost the only heir of
these old Whigs of the race of Fox, who were the
friends of France when all Europe was leagued
against her, and we have been glad to find in his
language the sentiments of his great illustrious pre-
decessors."

Since the commencement of the war between the
Cabinets of Berlin and Copenhagen, several extraor-
dinary events have occurred such as cannot fail to
exercise a peculiar influence over the councils of both
Governments, and such as must inevitably
conduce to the modification of their relative
claims. Although among the more bellicose factions
of Germany, and in those principalities of the Con-
federation which are most remarkable for the pugna-
city of their inhabitants, the aggressive act of Prussia
in marching her army across the boundaries of
southern Jutland, for the
,purpose of dispossessing
the Danish Monarch of a valuable portion of his
dominions, may have appeared worthy of enthusiastic
laudation—every German alive to the holiest princi-
ples of honour, to the sacred rights of nationalities,
to the inalienable privileges of popular sovereignty,
and to the simplest rules of international
justice, must have witnessed with indignation
that lawless incursion upon the territories of
Denmark, which betrayed the ambition that

who has at various periods led your army forth to
victory.

" This melancholy loss is felt by all. The inti-
mate relations which subsisted between the King and
the army, and the great esteem which the King enter-
tained fur it, makes it my paramount duty to identify
its interests with my own. I feel this the more bind-
ing upon me, since it was in the army that I com-
menced my military career, and the well-being of
the army has since been one of my most ardent
desires.

" The oath which you have just taken is to me a
guarantee that the love and fidelity which you de-
voted to your late Field Marshal will now be trans-
ferred to nie, and that you will ever consecrate your
services to the country with honour and distinction."
The KING has received the address of condolence
from the First Chamber.

The mortal remains of WILLIAM IL, it is said, will
be removed to Rotterdam on the 2d, and the inter-
ment will take place on the 4th of April.

ITALY.

INSURRECTION IN MILAN

The French Patric of last evening publishes a
postscript to a letter, dated Milan, March 21, which
is in the following terms :
" Milan is in insurrection; I am just going to join my
friends in the combat."
The Milan Gazette, of the 21st, contains the fol-
lowing proclamation from Marshal RADETZKY to the
inhabitants of Piedmont :

"Your King, as you know, invaded last year the
states of the Emperor, my master, in contempt of the
right of nations. My victories had repelled that attack,
which has no parallel in the history of nations, and yet
I stopped my victorious army on the banks of the
Ticino. Your King could have saved you from the
devastation and the horrors of war, by accepting the
proffered peace; but, instead of this, he renews his
hostilities, and, led on by ambitious views, he again
menaces the states of my Emperor. He forces me to
place the theatre of war in your fertile fields. To him,
and not to me, you must attribute the misfortunes that
this unjust attack will draw upon you. I enter Pied-
mont with my army to restore at last peace and tran-
quillity to the people. I cannot save you from the cala-
mities which are inseparable from war, but the discipline
of Fey army guarantees the safety of your persons and
property. Do not take a part in the struggles of the
armies, leave them to be decided by soldiers ; otherwise
you would aggravate still more the hardships of war, with-
out a hope of success, and you would place me in the im-
possibility of alleviating them for you as far as in my power.
There never was a more unjust war than that which
your King wages against the Emperor, my master; there
never was a more just war than that which I feel my-
self forced to wage against you. The spirit of con-
quest does not animate me like Charles Albert ; but I
come to defend the rights of the Emperor, my master,
and the integrity of the monarchy, which your Govern-
ment, that has made alliance with rebellion, lawlessly
menaces. " RADETZHY, Field-Marshal."

The Piedmontese Gazette of the 22d publ6hes the
following telegraphic dispatch :—" Our troops have
occupied Pavia." Another telegraphic dispatch, re-
ceived somewhat later, is as follows :—"lt is said
General LA MARMORA and Senator PLEZZA have
entered Parma. No official news from Piacenza.
The news of Pavia is not official."

The Piedmontese Gazette, in a postscript, publishes
the following intelligence, which, though not official,
proceeds, it says, from credible sources :—" The
KING'S head-quarters were at Vigevano on the 21st,
at 1 P.m. On the preceding evening about 3,000
Austrians marched to Garlasco. On the morning of
the 21st, a part of the Austrian cavalry crossed the Ti-
cino to approach the same point. The Yiedmont2se had
not abandoned the position of Magenta. The command
of the division of Lombardy has been given to General
FANTI, instead of General RAMORINO, who has been
summoned to head-quarters to explain certain move-
ments of his." A letter from Vercelli of the 22d,
three o'clock, A.m., states, on the faith of persons
coining from the Lomellina, that, on the 21st, two en-
gagements took place at the same time ; one in the
vicinity of Vigevano, the other in that of Mortara. In
the former the Piedmentese had been the victors, and
made 1,500 prisoners ; in the latter, which lasted till
it was quite darh, the Piedmontese had been obliged
to retire.

During the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies at
Turin, on the 21st, the Minister RATTAZZt read the
following dispatch :
" Bulletin, Iso. 3.—At three in the afternoon we re-
ceived from the Castel S. Giovanni the following dis-
patch, in two parts:—
" First Part. Our troops have occupied Pavia.
" Second Part. It is reported that General La Mar-
mora and the Senator Plezza have entered Parma.
" We have no official news from Plaisance.
" The announcement of the occupation of Pavia is not
official.
" RATTAZZI."
The Nazione of the 22d says, it is reported the
corps under the orders of General LA Manmoaa, is
at Pontremoli ; other reports state that it has entered
Modena.

The Alba of Florence, of the 18th, states that the
Bolognese column, Zambeccari, had met with an
Austrian corps on the Modenese frontier and beat it,
after taking two cannons and making many pri-
soners.

According to the Genoa Gazette of the 21st, the
Duke of MonENA was still at Modena on the 18th.
He had retired to the citadel, and caused two pieces
of artillery that were before the ducal palace to be
taken there also. On the 18th he reviewed the troops,
declaring that the affairs of Piedmont would soon be
settled. The DUKE then left the town by the gate
of Saint Agostino, with a battalion, leaving the Hun-
garians in the citadel.
.. The Concordia of Turin, of the 22d, contains intel-
_

ligence from Venice up to the 15th. On that day
Vice-President MINOTTO read a message from Presi-
dent .51ANIN, proroguing the Assembly for a fort-
night. The Vice-President added that explanations
would be given at the expiration of the fortnight.
The Assembly separated crying, "War for ever !"

All the officer's or the' land md sea forces are or-
dered immediately to their respective posts, and the
civil mobilised guard is to hold itself ready to second
the operations of the rest of the army. The Aus..
trians are retiring from the environs of Mestre and
Malghera.
It is reported that the united Venetian and Sar-
dinian squadrons are about to assume the offensive
against Trieste and the Austrian fleet.
At Rome the news of the commencement of hos.

tilities kas been received with delight. The Assem-
bly have appointed a Committee of War to assist the
Ministry in taking all necessary measures. The
reading of the proclamation of the Duke of MODENA
was accompanied with groans and hisses.
Cardinal MEZZOFANTI, the celebrated linguist, died
a few days since at Rome.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
There was a moderate demand for Cotton at Liver-
pool yesterday, and prices remained much the same.
The sales were estimated at 6,000 bales, and included
4,000 American at 3i-A. to 61d., and 500 Surats at 3id.
per lb.

11,11 Way Shares were dull, and prices had a downward
tendency.
There are no Colonial or foreign arrivals to-day with
news of interest, beyond the usual continental mails, the
particulars brought by which appear in another column.
The English Funds opened heavily this morning, but
have improved a little since in consequence of the news
of Charles Albert's defeat, which is favourably con-
strued as being likely to facilitate an amicable arrange-
ment of the Italian question. It must be confessed,
however, that the task of the allied Powers may become
exceedingly difficult in restraining the victorious Aus-
trians, and that a revolution in Piedmont would not be
improbable, although a great check thereon will
be in the success of the German party.
People begin to doubt whether the Italian news
may not, as far as the Engiish Stock market is
concerned, have lost a portion of its influence, simply
because it has so long been anxiously auttcpated, and
could not well be worse than many have predicted.
After all, the most important consideration is es to the
part that France may take, and this it is held will be
strictly in accordance with England, inasmuch as any
violent course might provoke, and even, to a certain ex-
tent, justify the interference of Russia in favour
of Austria. Certainly the Bear party in the Stock
Exchange have been making a staple commodity of this
said Italian business, and it the public remain firm and
bring no large amount of money stock to market, there
must be a decided change in the market, though perhaps
not until within a day or two of the settlement. There
are Bulls as well, undoubtedly, but it is to the money
stock we look as deciding the balance. Early this morning
there was a small supply of the latter, and Consols were
marked 904 * for transfer, and 00i to 91 for account.
Since the intelligence from Italy was received, and it was
read aloud in the North and South American rooms to a
throng of expectant and intensely excited persons, the
prices have been up to 91* * for money, and to 91,1
buyers for account. The nearest price now is 91* 4.
Exchequer-bills of March have realised 355. to 383.
premium.

In the Foreign Market the transactions have been
more limited. Mexican have been up to 318 t, and
down since to 308 to 31. Buenos Ayres have been 38
to 40; and Equador 84 a. Peruvian are abouz. 66 to 68.
Spanish Three per Cents. reabse 201 to 30. Portuguese
Four per Cents. 271; and Dutch Four per Cents. 78.
Railway Shares sympathise with the Liverpool
market, and are extremely heavy, all the principal lines
in which business has been done being lower. The most
conspicuous change is in York and Berwick, South
Western, Midland, and Caledonian.
