and in consequence arms were immediately distri-
buted.

The Spener Ga:ette says—" The Austrian rein-
forcements which had arrived at Treviso hare received
orders to advance further into the Pontifical States.
General Count DE FIQUELMONT, of the cavalry, has
been attached to Field-Marshal Count RADETSKI.
From Venice, where he went to pay his respects to
the Viee-Roi, he has taken his departure for Milan."
The same journal states that the Duke of MODENA
had officially announced to his subjects that the entry
of the Austrian troops into the Duchy might be ex-
pected from one moment to another.

A letter from Leghorn of the sth says—
" We have just received intelligence here from
Ferrara. Affairs remain there in the same state.
However, the Tyrolean Chasseurs, who have been
said to have passed the Po, have either retired or
gone into cantonments on the left hank of the river.
It had been rumoured at Ferrara that Cardinal
Ciacchi was, on account of his health, about to re-
linquish the government of the legation ; but on the
24th ult. it was ascertained that he would remain at
his post. On the following day a numerous deputa
tion of the citizens went to his Eminence with an
address, expressing the general satisfaction at his
remaining. The magistrates of the municipality also
waited on him with thanks for his resolution. In the
evening the city was illuminated ; the tows band
played under the windows of the Legate, while
crowds filled the streets near the palace, exclaiming,
Long live Pius IX.'—' Long live Ciacchi!' The
Austrians remained perfectly passive during these
manifestations."

Another letter of the same date says—
"A grand solemnity yesterday caused great emo-
tion among all our people ; enthusiasm was at its
height ; hope and happiness were expressed by every
face. The town of Leghorn feted the authorisation
to form a Tuscan National Guard, which has just been
accorded by our Sovereign. More thon ten thousand
men were assembled under the national flag, sur-
rounding busts of Pius IX., and of Leopold 11.
Bands of music, escorted by torches, traversed the
town at an advanced hour of the night. It is impos-
sible to give you an ides of the cries of joy which
arose from all parts among the crowds which circulated
along the streets, or of the manifestations of all kinds
of which this popular fete was the subject. All the
windows were illuminated and decked out. This po-
litical revolution is, without contradiction, one of the
most extraordinary pages of our history, as it has not
been stained by a drop of blood. On the Bth of this
month there! is to be a general renewal of the popular
fete, in which all the ladies, dressed in white and wear-
ing the national colours, are to take part."
On the same day a grand demonstration was made
at Florence to celebrate the formation of the National
Guard. The people assembled before the windows of
the Grand Duke to thank him for the grant, and
bands of musicians traversed the city, which was
illuminated at night. The enthusiasm waa general.

A letter from Rome of the 6th inst. says—
" The first part of the investigation into the great
conspiracy is terminated. There result from it proofs
of enrolments in the interest of the retrograde party.
The Pontifical Government has addressed a note
signed by the Secretary of State, Cardinal Ferretti,
not only to the great Powers, but to all the Courts of
Europe, to demand in some sort their interference
as arbitrators in the difference which has arisen
between the Sovereign Pontiff and Austria with re-
spect to Ferrara. The Holy Father is to hold a
secret consistory about the middle of September, in
which several prelates will be elevated to the dignity
of Cardinal. Among others, the Archbishop of
Milan, Monsignor B. Romelli, is named. The two
new French Cardinals, Monsignor Giraud and Du-
pont, Archbishops of Cambray and Bourges, arrived
here to-day."

Cardinal FERRET' has established a corps of police
men in uniform, a measure which has much pleased
the populace, as it deprives the local police of its
secret and inquisitorial character.
Another letter from Rome announces the arrival
in that city of an Envoy from the United States of
America, to negotiate a treaty of amity and commerce
between the two countries. This treaty will lay the
foundation for the establishment of diplomatic re-
lations between the two Governments, and, it is said,
a Nuncio will shortly be sent from the Pors to
Washington.

The Conlemporaneo of Rome, of the 4th, says—
" Count Lutzon has presented a note to the Pope,
in which the right of occupation is maintained, but a
desire for negotiation is at the same time expressed.
The Pope answered, that Ferrara must be evacuated
and that then discussions might be entered on, not on
the right of occupation, but on the meaning of the
word place ; that if the evacuation was refused, he
would use all the means in his power to produce it.
Cardinal Ferretti is said to have declared that the
Pope would send a protest, would recal the Nuncio
from Vienna; would give to the Ambassador his
passports ; would publi3h o bull of eA,..unication
(which he said was ready written) ; and, lastly, would
make an appeal to all Italy."

Madrid journals of the Bth have arrived.
At a Cabinet Council which was held on the 6th
it was, it is said, decided to present a Bill to the
Cortes, immediately on their assembling, for the dis-
solution of the QUEEN'S marriage, and also a Bill re-
storing the Salic law for regulating the succession
after the demise of her present MAJESTY. As soon
as the Council broke up General LINAGES was dis-
patched to London to urge the immediate return of
ESPA.ETERO, as it was agreed by all the Ministers
that without his aid it would be impossible to carry
into effect the QUEEN'S wishes.

( The Gaceta publishes a royal decree, appointing
General MIGUEL DOMINGUES, uncle of General SER-
RA-No, second Commander of the Halberdiers, a post
previously occupied by General Ros DR OLANO, the
new Minister of Public Instruction. Another royal
degree superseded General ESPINOSA. in the govern-
ment of Grenada by General MANso, the present
Captain-General of Valencia, who was to be succeeded
by General CAMPCZANO, Military Governor of Cadiz.
General BELESTA replaced the latter in the command
of that city.
The QUEEN is, it is said, abeut to confer the Grand
Cordon of CHARLES 111. on Senor SALAMANCA, and
the Grand Cross of ISABELLA the Catholic on Generals
BLASEE and FRANCISCO LAVALET.
The Duke DE GLucKsßußou was to give on the
evening of the Bth a grand diplomatic dinner, to
which all the new Ministers and various other per-
sons of distinction were invited. The immediate
object of the dinner was said to be a desire to prove
to the world that the report of the Duke's having
protested in word, though not in writing, against the
late amnesty, was quite unfounded. If the Minis-
ters were seen seated at the French Ambassador's
table, the inference to be drawn, it was hoped, would
be that no misunderstanding existed between them.
NARVAEZ has gone to Burgos, where, it is said, he
intends to remain for some time. General ZABco
DEL VALLE, who came to Madrid with the Duke DE
MONTPENSIER at the time of the marriage, has left
Spain, and is now at Bayonne.
An official bulletin of the Captain-General of
Galicia, dated Corunna, September 4, announces that
the Carlist chief, FERNANDO GOMEZ, better known as
El Ebanista," had been killed in an encounter
with the QUEEN'S troops at Pacios, near Lugo, and
that his band had been in consequence dispersed.
The Bourse was closed in honour of the festival of
the Nativity of the Virgin Mary.

e have received the Paris papers of Monday.
The Journal des Debats has a long article on the
recently-published returns showing the commercial
movement of France during the year 1846, a re-
sume of which appeared in The Sun a few days since.
After entering at some length into an examination
of the returns, the Daats concludes thus
" If we examine the results of the navigation, we
find a somewhat important increase for 1846. The
general movement consisted of 33,515 vessels and
3,925,000 tons, that is to say, 353,000 tons more
than in 1845. The foreign flag, it is true, has ob-
tained a good share in this increase; but it will be
observed in the interim that in the seas of Europe
our flag has gained 28,000 tons, whilst that of the
foreign countries has lost 10,000 tons. Lastly, what
all the lamentations affected to be raised with respect
to our navy will not prevent being seen, is, that the
movement under the French flag is increasing,
slowly, it is true, but continuously. Not more than
ten years ago it only effected from 38 to 39 per cent.
of the transports ; but in 1846 its proportion rose to
42.4. It is certainly greatly to be regretted that it
was not larger; but we must not lose sight of the
fact, that of all countries ours is without contradic-
tion that whose exportation has the least of heavy
and cumbersome articles, which are the aliment of
great navigation ; and in spite of this disadvantage,
against which wars of tariffs could do nothing, or
rather which they would infallibly aggravate, it is
satisfactory to be able to state that the general ton-
nage of our maritime commerce has passed in ten
years from 2,200,000 tons to 3,920,000, that is to say,
