Prague yesterday
" Prince Charles Albert, son of her Imperial High-

seven o'clock, of the small pox."

The Minister has also received intelligence from
Innspruck, dated July 15, giving a very satisfactory
report of the health of their MAJEmis, and of the
Imperial family.
The President of the Cabinet and Minister of Fo-
reign Affairs, Baron Vox WESSENBERG, who was
obliged to remain at Frankfort on account of indis-
position, has, by the advice of his physicians, de-
manded leave of absence for a fortnight, as they
apprehended internal inflammation. The Ministry

important business in the department of Foreign
Affairs.

of the Mitchel Club, attended; but after waiting an hour
and a half, no deputation attended, and, some excuses
having been made for their non-attendance by the Vico-
President, the gathering dispersed. The meetings were
attended by Sub-Inspector Morgan and a number of the
police in each locality ; and their object is stated to be
not so much to enlist members for the clubs as to raise
a spirit of disaffection, in the minds of the people, so as
to induce them to aid the clubs when the day arrives."

WALLACHIA AND MOLDAVIA

The Wiener Zeitung contains the following intelli-
gence respecting the events which have taken place
in these provinces :
" After having received the intelligence of the en-
trance of the Russian troops into Moldavia, the Pro-
visional Government of Bucharest issued, in the
first instance, a protest against the intervention
of Russia, and they decidedly opposed it. But
the Russian Consul, M. Von liotzebac, sent the pro-
test back from Joesang to Bucharest, and proposed
to the Peoeisional Government an ultimatum, in which the
re-establishment of Prince Bibesco was made a condition
sine qua non, and, in case of a refusal, announced the im
mediate entry of the RUSSIA!" army. The Provisional
Govern.ment resolved to resist to the utmost, and dis-
patched emissaries into the provinces to effect a rise
among the peasants. The latter, however, instead of
entering into their views, fell upon these emissaries, and
killed several of them. On receiving this intelligence
terror seized the members of the Provisional Govern-
ment, and the greater number of the Boyards fled.
Tranquillity prevailed on the 10th, and the majority of
the population, like those of the country, received the
Russians with open arms. The peasantry of Wallachia
regard the Russians as their deliverers ; for Russian
polioy has' always protected them against the noblesse.
A courier has been dispatched from Jassy to Cronstadt,
to announce the entry of the Russians to Prince Bibesco.
General Duhamel has been nominated Consul and
Intendant General. The Russians have pitched their
camp before Jassy, for the cholera now prevails in that
city. They will probably reach Bucharest on the 15th
or 16th. It is very improbable that they will meet with
any resistance."
l'he Breslau Zeitung says:—" The Provisional Go-
vernment is in some difficulty, for all the great Boyard
families -have quitted Wallachia, and very few indivi-
duals of any rank have remained. The Government

intends to refuse giving them passports, and compel them
to sign an address to the Emperor of Russia, to which
they are now endeavouring to obtain signatures. In this
address reference is made to an ancient existing privi-
lege, that the internal affairs of the country shall be
regulated by itself: It describes the late revolution as
having been called forth by the oppression of the people,
which they could no longer bear, and entreats the
clemency of the Czar to recognise what has just passed;
but in case of his refusal to do so, it calls for the assist-
ance and protection of Europe. A formal protest was,
a we before stated, sent to the Russian Consul, but this
was without effect." '

GERMANY

AND

THE NORTHERN STATES.

FRANKFORT-ON-THE-MAINE.

The German Parliament, during the sitting of the
22d, was engaged in a most interesting discussion on
the subject of the future foreign policy of the
empire. The following is a report of this very im-
portant debate :
Ruge went into a comparison between England and
France as to the characteristic motives of warfare in
either case. England fought practically ; France
engaged in war for glory's sake. They must beware
of England, or she would give the Germans as much to
do as she bad the Chinese. But to be on their guard it
was not necessary to maintain a standing army. The
people should be armed. Switzerland, with its 2,000,000
of inhabitants, at all times commanded an army that
could bid defiance to foreign powers, and carry out
its will. He strongly urged the assembly of a
People's Congress to settle the affairs of Europe.
It was England's interest, it was France's interest,
to combine with them for this end • and surely
the great German people, with its philosophical bias, and
habits of cool reflection was capable of working out and
fully developing this idea. He made the proposition
from a wish that Germany might have the honour of
having adopted the initiatory measures in securing the
general peace of Europe.—(Cries of " Enough l'')

The Imperial Government had authorised him to state
unequivocally that the acknowledgment of the French
Republic should speedily ensue.—(Cheers.) A full
statement of their principles, and the relation of Ger-
many to foreign powers, would soon be laid before the
House, till which time he begged to make some claim on
their patience.
Vogt said it was only reasonable that they should
wait a little; but when this programme of principles
made its appearance it might be capable of very various
interpretations.—(Laughter.) He would allude to the
events which had lately convulsed Europe. Ruge had
proposed the establishment of a general European Con.
greys, with the idea that it would be sufficient to settle
the peace of Europe, and to arm and disarm where the
weal of Europe made it necessary. He fully agreed
with him. The greatest duty of the :present age was
the restoration of peace. He would proudly go hand

RUSSIA.

In St Petersburgh the fearful character assumed
by the cholera has occasioned great consternation.
The EMPEROR has frequently personally visited the
public hospitals, where there are numerous cholera
patients. The disease is said to be on the decline in
the capital, but has broken out in several places in the
suburbs.

NAPLES.

Advices from Naples of the 17th mention that pre-
parations were making to invade Sicily with a large
force. No less than 30,000 to 35,000 troops are to
be engaged in this enterprise. The embarkation was
fixed for the 20th or 21st, and their landing-place
was to be Syracuse.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

(THIS DAY.)

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
The SPEAKER took the chair at Twelve o'clock.
LORDS AMENDMENTS.

The Lords Amendments to the following Bills were
considered and agreed to :
Great Northern Railway (Isle of Axholme Extension).
Great Western Railway (Branch from Slough to

Windsor).
London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway (London-
bridge and New Cross Stations, &c.)
Midland Railway (Gloucester and Stonehouse Junction).
Whitehaven and Furness Junction Railway (Extension
or Deviation froin Silecroft to Foxfield, &c.)
Mr. GREENE contended that the consideration
of the Lords' amendments to Bills should be referred to
a Committee of the House, as it could not be expected
that the House in its collective capacity could give that
consideration to these amendments that should be given
to them.

Mr. M. MILNES was of the same opinion.
Mr. BERNAL thought great good would result from
,he adoption of the course pointed out.
REPORTS.

test back from Joesang to Bucharest, and proposed
to the Provisional Government an ultimatum, inwhich the
re-establishment of Prince Bibesco was made a condition
sine qua non, and, in case of a refusal, announced the im-
mediate entry of the Russian army. The Provisional
Government resolved to resist to the utmost, and dis-
patched emissaries into the provinces to effect a rise
among the peasants. The latter, however, instead of
entering into their views, fell upon these emissaries, and
killed several of them. On receiving this intelligence
terror seized the members of the Provisional Govern-
ment, and the greater number of the Boyards fled.
Tranquillity prevailed on the 10th, and the majority of
the population, like those of the country, received the
Russians with open arms. The peasantry of Wallachia
regard the Russians as their deliverers ; for Russian
policy has always protected them against the no4lesse.
A courier has been dispatched from Jassy to Cronstadt,
to announce the entry of the Russians to Prince Bibesco.
General Duhamel has been nominated Consul and
Intenslant General. The Russians have pitched their
camp before Jassy, for the cholera now prevails in that
city. They will probably reach Bucharest on the 15th
or 16th. It is very improbable that they will meet with
any resistance."
The Breslau Zeitung says:—" The Provisional Go-
vernment is in some difficulty, for all the great Boyard
families have quitted Wallachia, and very few indivi-
duals of any milli have remained, The Government

intends to refuse giving them passports, and compel them
to sign an address to the Emperor of Russia, to which
they are now endeavouring to obtain signatures. In this
address reference is made to an ancient existing privi-
lege, that the internal affairs of the country shall be
regulated by itself. It describes the late revolution as
having been called forth by the oppression of the people,
which they could no longer bear, and entreats the
clemency of the Czar to recognise what has just passed;
but in case of his refusal to do so, it calls for the assist-
ance and protection of Europe. A formal protest was,
as we before stated, sent to the Russian Consul, but this
was without effect."

VIENNA, JULY 21.—The Minister of the Interior
received the following telegraphic dispatch from
Prague yesterday :--
" Prince Charles Albert, son of her Imperial High-
ness the Archduchess Wildegsrde, died last night at
seven o'clock, of the small-pox."
The Minister has also received intelligence from
Innspruck, dated July 15, giving a very satisfactory
report of the health of their MAJESTIES, and of the
Imperial family.
The President of the Cabinet and Minister of Fo-
reign Affairs, Baron Vox WESSENBERO, who was
obliged to remain at Frankfort on account of indis-
position, has, by the advice of his physicians, de-
manded leave of absence for a fortnight, as they
apprehended internal inflammation. The Ministry
has, therefore, taken steps for the execution of all
important business in the department of Foreign
Affairs.

- The Minister of Finance has addressed circulars to
the Custom-house agents to inform them that gun-
caps are to be classed under the head of ammunition,
and subjected to an ad valorem duty of six per cent. ;
hosiery from France is to be subject to a duty of five
per cent., the same as in the treaty with Belgium.
The affairs of Limburg are attracting much atten-

tion. They have been the cause of the frequent Ca-
binet Councils which have been held. The Limburg
deputies at the Frankfort Parliament returned to the
province on the 21st, and addressed the following cir-
cular to their constituent!:— _ _

" Gentlemen,—The fate of Limburg has been decided.
The German National Assembly has unanimously de-
clared in an irrevocable manner, that the Duchy of Lim-
burg is a German state, and can no longer be regarded
as a province of Holland.
" The question of the liquidation of the debt is aban-
doned to the appreciation of the National Assembly, in
which we shall find a sure guarantee against all atempts
to load us with a foreign debt.
" Gentlemen, your deputies consider it their duty
powerfully to recommend their constituents to remain
quiet, and to respect the established laws until they
are replaced by others. Such is the duty of every
citizen.

The Journal de la Haye, after publishing this docu,

tend, that the resolution of the Frankfort Assembly has
definitively settled the Limburg question? It seems,

escaped the attention of these gentlemen, that something

As soon as the decision of the Frankfort Parliament
was known the town of Maestricht was placed in a state

(Pena] the Edinburgh Evening Courant of Wednesday.)
This afternoon Mr. Henry Rankine, Mr. Archibald
Walker, and James Cumming, with some others, were
arrested on charges of a,general character, comprising
attendance at illegal public meetings, and addresses
delivered on those occasions of an exciting description.
The houses of those individuals have been searched,
and documents, of a very suspicious character have
been seized and carried away.
After an examination, Messrs. Rankine, Cumming,
and Walker were committed to gaol; and some of
the other parties arrested were liberated upon bail.
A great demonstration of sympathy with the
offenders is talked of by the Chartists.

An unfortunate accident occurred at Chichester in the
morning. One of the coaches, on its way out of the
town, was overturned, and telling on Jerry, a well-
known character on all race-courbes, crushed him so tear-
fully that no hopes of his recovery are entertained.

day, in the act of removing a bag full of pikes, after they
had been ground, was again brought up before Mr.
Rushton. The man Banner, who had acted as his porter,
had been previously discharged. Constable Keogh
stated that he had seized a number more pikes shafted
und some cutlasses, in the stable of a wheelwright, in
Vauxhall-road. John Dickenson, foreman to the wheel-
wright, proved that the articles had been brought there
by the prisoner Cuddy, in connexion with the notorious
Dr. Reynolds. The prisoner was again remanded. A
correspondent says—" Everything continues perfectly
tranquil here, and the camp is being formed at Evertor].
Last night the police visited the lodgings of Dr. Rey-

M. One half the world are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
coraprosing harry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
end social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice demand that health sheuldform an item
In the compaot; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes er
neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if

Tun HAGUE, MAY 11.—In the sitting of the
Second Chamber of the States-General, Count
SCIIIMMELPENNINCR made the following unlooked-
for communication :

".Ibis Excellency stated that the Ministers were
giving their serious attention to the modification of the
fundamental law, but that there was a difference of opi-
nion upon the subject among the members of the Go-
vernment, which would reader a change in the Ministry
necessary. The King had been advised of the state of
affairs, and it was necessary to await his decision.
" Mr. Van Goldstein regretted that upon so import-
ant a subject as the revision of the fundamental law
there should exist any difference of opinion among the
Ministers, and it was the more surprising as the project
was drawn up by the Chamber itself. Several members
spoke the same sentiments, and urged the necessity of
the speedy decision of this important question."
AMSTERDAM, MAY 11.—The fresh depression
which the Austrian funds have sustained produced
an unfavourable influence upon all the Dutch funds.
The greater part of the foreign funds also expe-
rienced a depression. with the exception of

speaker that they wished to treat men as their brothn-
and friends, and that they regarded them as their equals.'i
The Droit gives a vexy different account of the
affair. It says—
" It would be impossible to describe the spectacle pre-
sented by the Club des Fet nmes on Thursday evening,
under the presidency of the Citoyenne N—. We
cannot give an idea of •the tumult, the disorder, the
uproar which took place. There was nothing but cries,
hisses, vociferations, prening, crushing, even fighting.
The windows and the glasses were smashed, but no
speaker of either sex could obtain a hearing, not even
the AbLti Chatel, not even the Citoyenne N--. The
sitting at length broke up in the midst of universal
laughter, and was postponod to another day. But men
are not to be admitted another time."
The Commission of the Executive Government has
discussed the question of tile presence of its members
at the sittings of the National Assembly. They
differ in opinion on it. MM. DE LAMARTINH and
LEDRU ROLLIN think they should all attend; the
other members think differently. MM. DE LAMAR-
TINE and LEDRU ROLLIN were present on Saturday.
There were rumours rife in Paris on Sunday of
war against Austria and Russia, and of immediate
intervention in Italy and Poland.
It was stated that an extraordinary levy of 200,000
men between 18 and 30 years of age was immediately
to be made. All citizens not married to be liable to
this levy. Orders have been given for guns and
sabres. A part of the National Guard Mobile and
the Marine Guards are to be immediately equipped
for active service. The staff has also received orders
for equipment.
It was also stated, but not generally believed, that
the army of the Alps had crossed the frontier.
Another attempt on the part of the Communists to
get up a demonstration was to be made to-day. The
following placard has been issued by BLANQUI'S club :
" TO THE DEMOCRATS.
" The centralizing committee informs all democrats
that the manifestation in favour of Poland will not take
place till Monday, the 15th current, at ten o'clock A.M.
The citizens will meet at the Place de la Bastille. Any
other convocation but this must be considered as false.

M. BETHMONT, it appears, was sacrificed to pro-
pitiate M. LEDRU ROLLIN, and provide a place for M.
FLocoN. It was owing to the firmness of MM.
ARAGO, GARNIERPAGES, and MARIE, that FLOCON was
not appointed to the Ministry of the Interior. M.
LAMARTINE was inclined to give way to the threats of
M. LEDRU ROLLIN, but the others remained firm.
