A letter from Berne of the 13th gives the fol

lowing : - ---
" More rerelations ! You remember the henry
boxes which Siegwart Muller had among his baggage
arriving at Domo d'Oossola. The Sardinian police
having examined them found that they contained
.50,000 f. tirviii francs (75,000 france of France). When

A Berlin letter of the 12th says—

'

LONDON, MONDAY

asked to whom the money belonged, Siegwart Muller re-
plied ; " To his Highness the Viceroy of the Lom-
bard Venitian kingdom. - I propose to go and deliver
to him the money myself.' The police, however,
sequestrated it, and were about to cause Siegwart
Muller to be conducted by two of the royal carabi-
niers to Novare, when Kalbermatten, ex-generalissimo of
the Valais, came up and put in bail for him, in conse-
quence of which he was allowed to proceed to Novare
without escort. Another act of indiscretion : In a coffee-
house, at Arona, de Salis Soglio, Protestant general-in-
thief of the army of the Jesuits, has been heard
to complain bitterly of Austria. The Austrian Govern-
ment,' he said, promised us 50,000 men, but we only
received six officers.' In fact, it results from trust-
worthy documents that the political and military chief
of the Sonderbund calculated positively—lst, On the
armed intervention of Austria and France, which was
solicited, and which they believed themselves warranted
in considering promised. There exist certain docu-
ments which show how much those, who now offer
their impartial mediation meddled with our affairs. 2d,
On counter-revolution in the cantons of the majority,
and on the refusal of the federal troops to march. But
the Sonderbund was disappointed. There still remain
some boxes of Siegwart Muller to be opened, but
even without them we possess sufficient documents to
establish the complicity of the Jesuits and other pro-
tectors of the Sonderbund, both in Switzerland and
abroad."

On the 15th the Legislative Council of Neufchatel
unanimously resolved to pay the 300,000 f. demanded
by the Federal Diet.
The New Zurich Gazette states that the sum of
5,047,100 f., ordered to be paid by the Swiss cantons
of the ex-Sonderbund, for the expenses of the war,
are divided as follows .—Lucerne, 2,132,000 f.; Uri,
96,760 f. ; Schvvytz, 246,820 f. ; Unterwald (Obwald)i
90,640 f.; Ditto (Nidwald), 66,010 f.; Zug, 102,500 f.;
Friburg, 1,525,200 f.; Valais, 787,200 f.

A letter from Naples dated Bth December, says—
" The Cabinet has just been partly modified. The
Minister of the Interior, M. San-Angelo retires; M.
Parisi is appointed Minister in his place, M. d'Urso, of
Public Works, and M. Spinelli, of Commerce and Public
Instruction. These nominations are generally approved
of, the new Ministers are honest men and in the prime of
life. M. Parisi was intendant of Messina, and M.
d'Urso Procurdur-General at the Court of Accounts.
The Ministry of Police remains as it was with the Mar-
quis del Carretto, so much dreaded by the disaffected, at
its head. There arrived a few days back at Naples from
Reggio, in Calabria, seventy individuals condemned, six-
teen to death, but whose punishment was commuted to the
galleys for life, and the rest sentenced to hard labour at
the hulks for various periods. They are to be sent from
Naples to one of the islands in the gulf. The reply of
the King of Naples to the Customs' League proposed by
the three Powers of Italy, was, that having lately made
commercial treaties and numerous changes in his tariffs,
he had need of being fully acquainted with the bases of
the plan' to decide whether it was possible for him to
accede to it."
The intelligence from Palermo is to December 3.
After the manifestions already spoken of tranquillity
was no more troubled in that city. At Messina, the
population celebrated the nomination of M. PARISI,
the intendant of that place, who was proceeding to
occupy the post of Minister of the Interior, at Naples.
On that occasion, there were some demonstrations
hostile to General LANDI, who is far from enjoying
the popularity which M. PARISI has been able to
acquire.
The following is an extract of a letter from Cag-
liari, dated Dec. 8 :
" The Sardinian deputation returned to Cagliari on
the 3d by the Imperial steamer Malfattone. Archbishop
Marengin remains at Genoa, having been invested by the
King with the grand cordon of the Order of the An-
nunziata. The deputation brought peas that his Ma-
jesty Charles Albert had granted the application of the
Sardinian people ; in fact, Baron Sappa, Intendant-
General of Finances, has arrived with the royal dispatch.
The Malfattone, which as soon as she was in ht made
a signal of the good news she brought by hotting four
flags, had not entered the port before the whole popula-
tion was assembled to welcome the deputation on landing.
It was received by the municipality, and attended to the
royal palace with cries of Long live the King ! Long
live Pius IX. ! Reform for ever r Baron Sappa showed
the people that he was the bearer of the royal dispatch
to the Viceroy. On reaching the palace the Viceroy
came out on the balcony, and delivered the following
address People of Sardinia, your wishes and mine
have been entirely fulfilled by our Sovereign. All the
earnest cares of his Majesty are devoted to your happi-
ness. You have the glory of having ever been faithful
and attached to the throne. Leap with joy at the neble
compensation conferred upon you by the great King
Charles Albert, and join to your glorious and unspotted
fidelity, to your respectful and final submission acid de-
votion to the King and the Royal Family, the full expres-
sion of your unbounded gratitude, and prove that as the
Monarch is a loving father, you are also grateful children.'
The Roy al Charter declares that shortly the island of
Sardinia shall enjoy all the reforms granted to Piedmont ;
—that all parts of the kingdom shall have their in-
termits so united as to form but one family. In the
mean time, the export duties on wines and oil destined
for the States of Sardinia shall cease to be imposed in
Sardinia. On the 4th Tc Delon was chanted in the
Cathedral, and in the evening there was a general illu-
mination, which was repeated for three successive nights.
Since then the cockades have ceased to be worn. The
towns are all quiet, hut not so the villages, which, wish•
ing to profit by the circumstances of the moment, refuse
to pay the taxes, end drive away the collectors who come
to demand them."
A letter from Florence states that an arrange-
ment has been come to between the Grand Duke of
TUSCANY and the Duke of MODENA, by which Pon-
tremoli is, for the present, to form part of the States
of Tuscany.
The English squadron is still at Leghorn.
Our letters from Rome of the Sth inst. mention
• that General Count RADETSKY, the Commander- in-
Chief of the Austrian army in Lombardy, had refused
his sanction to the arrangement concluded for the
evacuation of Ferrara ; and that Count LuTzovr, the
Austrian Ambassador at Rome, had written to Vienna
for fresh instructions. Monsignor FERRIERI, the
envoy of the POPE to the SULTAN, was to embark on
the 14th for Constantinople, in a ship of war, placed
ai the disposal of his HOLINESS by the King of SAR-
DINIA. The Pontifical Government had condemned
an English journal, entitled the Portuguese Protestant,
edited by M. CORRE 1, and prohibited its admission
into the Roman dominions. M. PIETRO FERRETTI,
brother of the Secretary of State, displeased with the
rather retrograde turn matters were assuming at
Rome, had resolved to retire to Naples, where he
formerly resided, and followed the profession of a
banker.

"Among the Poles condemned to death, Mieroslawski,
Elzanowski, and Kienowski, have not only declined
petitioning the King for mercy, but have even refused to
appeal against the judgment passed upon them. Ko-
sioski, on the contrary, has followed the advice of his
advocate, M. Crelinger, and petitioned the King for his
pardon, which has been granted to him. What the
commutation is to be is not yet known, the Ministry is
charged with making the proposition to the King. It
is said that the promptitude with which his Majesty
complied with the petition from Kosinski had for its
object to induce the others to make the same applica-
tion, and thus avoid a renewal of the pleadings before
the Court of Appeal."
The Universal Gazette of Prussia, of the 12th,
states that the eight Poles condemned to death have
had their sentence commuted to perpetual imprison•
ment.

A letter from Berlin states that the exportation of
rye and other grain from Poland has been interdicted
from the 13th of January next. This decision will,
it is thought, cause great injury to the corn trade in
Prussia, as that country imports from Poland, for its
own use alone, 1,000,000 bushels of rye per annum,
besides a large quantity of wheat, which it forwards
to Holland by Dantzic.

Madaid papers of the 13th inst. have arrived.
The debate in the Senate on the:Address had not
concluded.

It was rumoured in Madrid that ESPARTERO was
about to return to Spain.
. .

CHRISTINA, it is said, still continues her intrigues
to substitute MON and PIDAL for NARVAEZ, and will,
it is said, find an efficient assistant in M. PISCATORY,
the new French Ambassador, who has been selected
for the post by the especial recommendation of the
Duke DE MONTPENSIER himself. The Afrancesado
has, however, rec eived a heavy blow and a great dis-
couragement from the late Prime Minister Senor
GOYENA. whose loyalty and integrity are pro-
verbial throughout iSpain. In the course of his
speech ofl the Address, GOYENA declared to the
assembled Cortes that the QUEEN had sent for him,
and had earnestly solicited him to accept office to
relieve her from the embarrassments and dangers
with which she was surrounded. Ile described the
intrigues, and the worse than intrigues, by which the
tools of France were forced upon the reluctant
QUEEN, as her Ministers and her advisers, and pro-
ducing a sealed packet, declared that all these scanda-
lous transactions could not at present be made
public, but that the packet contained irrefragable
proof of the truth of his assertion, and that proof

EVENING, DECEMBER 20, 1847.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS,
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool on Saturday was
without alteration. Sales 3,000 bales, of which 2,500
were American at 44d. to 6d. per lb. Railway Shares
again declined, with very little doing.
A further arrival from Cape Town brings accounts of
October 30, and, as regards the affairs of the frontier,
they are of an important character. Sandilla, the most
troublesome chief among the Kafirs, had surrendered to
the English forces, together with eighty of his fol-
lowers, the condition being that their lives should be
spared. The exercise of a vigorous policy may now
effect a favourable settlement of the frontier question,
and it is to be hoped the opportunity may not be lost.
The accounts received from the manufacturing dis-
tricts are rather favourable, and although it was
scarcely to be expected before Christmas, there ap-
pears to be increased employment for the operatives.
At Amsterdam, Stocks, according to the accounts
received this morning, were in more demand. Dis-
counts on bills of exchange, 5 per cent.
It has been remarked that at this time last year pro-
duce became very flat, dealings immediately prior to the
close of the year being naturally drawn within the nar-
rowest possible compass. After the holidays in 1847,
however, there was more activity, and we hope the same
will be the case next month.
This being Christmas week, we are likely to have very
little activity in the funds. Consols are marked 84i to
65 for the Account, being alternately buyers and sellers.
Exchequer-bills are worth Bs. to 10s. premium, and
East India Bonds under 1,0001. are 13s. discount. Bank
Stock is firm at 188. The New Three-and-a-Quarter
per Cents. have been 86 to 86/, and the Three per
Cents. 841 to 84k.
The Foreign Bonds have been quiet, but as the prices
come rather better from Madrid, there is a slight im-
provement here in Spanish Stock. The Five per Cent.
Securities are 17i to 18; and the Three per Cent. Bonds
298 to 30k. Portuguese Four per Cent. Stock has been
at 22i. Peruvian Bonds have been marked 30 ; and
Chilian 881. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have
been 56.
The Railway Share Market is still depressed, except
in special instances. The established lines appear to be
least buoyant.
