BAVARIA.

The Allgemeine Zeitung says, " The King of BA-
VARIA has written an autograph letter to the Mi-
nister of the Interior respecting the working classes,
expressing his great concern at the present state of
commerce, and his desire that immediate steps should
be taken by the co-operation of all parties to effect
the restoration of trade and commerce, the renewal
of confidence, and the improvement of the working
classes ; that although this does not entirely depend
upon the Government, he nevertheless requests the
Government to take immediate steps to provide work
for all who shall be inclined to work, by undertak-
ing railways, water-works, bridges, roads, public
buildings, &c., so far as the public Exchequer will
admit."

The First Chamber of the States has adopted the
project of law for the elections to the National As-
sembly, as modified by the Chamber of Deputies.

The Prince DE LINAGE has addressed a letter to
the KING, renouncing all his prerogatives of birth.

Lieutenant-General VON DER MARK, Minister of
War, has been released from his post at his own
request.

DENMARK AND SCHLESWIG-
HOLSTEIN.

No further hostilities have taken place. They
write from Schleswig that the Danish troops had
advanced from that city, where 8,000 men had been
concentrated, and taken up a position at Dannevick,
in advance of their town. The KING arrived at
Schleswig in the afternoon of the 13th, with two
squadrons of dragoons, and one squadron of cuiras-
siers, and a brilliant staff, and after inspecting his
troops, returned to Flensburg at five o'clock. General
VON HEDEMANN is the Danish Commander-in-Chief.
Altona and the country round are full of Hano-
verian troops quartered there. The Hanoverian ar-
tillery have not yet marched, though they have been
three days in Altona.

WALLACHIA AND MOLDAVIA.
If the news we have received from the principali-
ties of the Danube is to be credited, Russia has taken
a step in advance towards Constantinople. The Hos-
podars of Wallachia and Moldavia have been driven
by an insurrection from their Governments. Prince
BIBESCO sought refuge in Galicia, and the Russian
troops have entered the pricipality, and established
their head-quarters at Jassy, the capital of Wallachia

ITALY.

LOMBARDY.

The rumour of the surrender of the important for-
tress of Peschiera to the Sardinians, which we men-
tioned yesterday, is confirmed.
The importance of Peschiera in a strategic point of
view, consists in its closing the direct road frum
Brescia to Verona, by Lonato, and in its furnishing
a rallying point for the operations to be carried on
against Verona or against the valley of the Adige,
to cut off the road from the Tyrol. It is supposed
that the measures adopting by CHARLES ALBERT
tend to this object.
The Milan Gazette of the 12th instant states 'a
curious fact, which explains the prompt capitulation
of Peschiera. The Lombardy volunteers, under
Captain MUNARA made a sudden attack on Lazise,
not far from Peschiera, and having advanced close to
the latter place, they gained possession of a powder
magazine, situated near the Verona gate, and took
75 prisoners and 500 barrels of gunpowder. In con.
sequence of this bold adventure the garrison must
have been in a very short time deprived of ammuni-
tion. It is also stated that General BES had opened a
sharp cannonade on the fortress from the heights of
Mondello and Monteferro, on the banks of the Mincio.

M. GIOBERTI hss addressed a letter to King
CHARLES ALBERT, declining to accept his nomina.
tion as Senator of Piedmont.

By official accounts from CHARLES ALBERT'S head
quarters, at Volta Mantovana, dated the 12th, we
learn that the large village of Castel Nuovo had
been wantonly set fire to by the Croatians, who
surrounded it, and drove the inhabitants who tried
to escape back again into the blazing village. The
Austrians have made a razzia from Mantua, and carried
off 130 head of cattle.

The Supreme Regency of Parma publishes a letter
from the DUKE, dated Parma, 9th, in which he ac-
cepts the resign ition of the Re:;eney, and leaves the
magistracy of Parma to form a Provisional Govern-
ment, ;till the result of the arbitration offered to
King CHARLES ALBERT shall have decided the fate of
the duchy.
