AND

THE NORTHERN STATES.

HOLLAND.

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

" His 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
Miniiters, 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, MAT 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 the Peru-
vians.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
ELSINORE, MAT 9.—Notifications respecting the
cargoes of British vessels bound to harbours under
blockade.

A circular of the British Consul here, Moses
Kuper, dated May 7, gives the official communica-
tion from the British vessels which may put in here,
on their way to some Prussian harbour, and which
may not be able to reach their destination in conse-
quence of the blockade, shall be at liberty to deposit
their cargoes at Elsinore or Copenhagen, and shall be
respected by the Danish Government, which has de-
clared that the cargoes of British Captains shall be
regarded as their property, and shall in no wise be
molested.

COPENHAGEN, MAY. Intelligence from the
seat of war states that two battalions
had -come to Alsen and the mainland to erect some
works, which might protect the communication be •
tween the mainland and Sonderberg, against the fire
of the enemy. General HEDEMANN has confided the
command in Alsen to Colonel HANSEN, and has gone
with his staff to Fuhnen, where he will act as com-
mander-in-chief. He had previously proposed to
General WRANGEL the mutual delivery of the priso-
ners taken on both sides since the commencement of
the war. The reply of General WRANGEL, which
has already been received at the head-quarters, will
be speedily made known.
The Danes estimate the losses at Schleswig at 150
killed, and between 400 and 500 wounded.
The attack and seizure upon Chamberlain KRociu
and of the hunting page, is regarded as a cou-
rageous act.
The Laalands Posten states that the feeling at
Jutland against the enemy is far stronger than in the
islands.

GERMAN MARINE.—The Committee announce that
Messrs. GODEFFROY and Son have, in accordance
with the generally expressed desire, placed their
large ship Caesar Godeffroy, at the unrequested dis-
position of the Committee, in place of the ship Stem-
warder.— Hamburgh Borsenhalle, May 5.
NORWAY, MAY s.—The Sorthing have referred
the project of the charge of the Council of State to a
committee, by a majority of 70 votes against 30.
At Drontheitn a meeting has taken place for the
formation of Free Corps (Freitschaaren).—Ham-
burg Borsenhalle, May 13.
STOCKHOLM, MAT 4.—An army of 16,000 men
is to be assembled for the present at Schonen, to con-
sist of three brigades, under the command of the
Crown Prince and General-Adjutants VON DAHLS-
TROM and PEYRON, with the rank of major-general.
The Daglight Allehanda mentions ten regiments
which have already been ordered to Schonen, and
two battalions of guards are to set out for that place
next week. Orders have been received to hasten the
equipment of the fleet at Carlscrona and Gothem-
burg, and the PRINCE set out for this first place by
land to-day. 4,000 Norwegian troops are said to
have been ordered to Schonen.

POLAND.
THE INSURRECTION.
General PrUEL has ordered that no armistice shall
be granted to the Poles (so says the Indicateur Po-
litique), dated Berlin, May 12th), except under the
following conditions :-
Ist. The surrender of arms.

2d. Emigrants and foreigners from Poland, Gallicia,
Cracow, &c., shall be sent to a depot beyond the Elbe
and the Weser.

3d. The Poles of Posen shall de divided into
circles, and led under an escort for their own protec-
tion to their prefects, who shall release them. Pri-
vate and public safety to all who have laid down their
arms.
GNESEN, MAY 4.—A Silesian paper states that the
insurgents have been attacked in the rear, between
Miloslaw and Wreschin, by five army corps, under
the command of General COLOMB, aided by Generals
VON WEDELL and VON BLUMEN.

Ten o'clock, P.X.—A letter from Posen from Dr.
ADAMK
RLvz, who was summoned to Miloslaw to
attend upon the wounded insurgents, is circulated in
the city, and to the following effect :—" Yesterday,
towards evening, about ten thousand insurgents
assembled near 'Wreschen, with the intention of
taking Gnesen by storm during the night. They
were suddenly attacked in the rear by five army
corps, and after a fierce engagement of four hours
were completely beaten. Four thousand insurgents
remained upon the field, and more than three
thousand five hundred wounded have been brought
here (Miloslaw), of whom I do not expect that two
hundred will survive. Several hundred of the
military have also been left upon the field of battle."

•Eleven o'clock, p.m.—A battalion of the 21st,Regi-
ment of Infantry has arrived here, and brought four
waggons with captive Polish nobles.—Aix-la-Chapelit
Gazette, May 13.
'POSE:N.—The important intelligence has been cir-
culated here that MIEROSLAWSKI has been deposed
from the chief command of the army by his fol-
lowers, in consequence, it is said, of having com-
manded one of the leaders to be shot, for having
comraitted some excesses—so much is certain, that
his army is even passed on three sides near Gnesen,
and that no way remains open to them by the Russia'
territory.
Later intelligence states that the Poles have thrown
themselves upon the mercy of the Prussians rather
than fall into the hands of the Russians, and that
there is now hope that the Polish war may soon be
settled.
GLOGAN, MAY.—The number of troops which have
gone over to strengthen the force in the Gra°,
Duchy of Posen has been estimated too high, sP"
probably does not amount to more than 12,000 men'

ROME.

-~

The Constitulionnel publishes the following from
Rome :
" We have already mentioned that the Pope had Pub-
lished a fresh declaration of his sentiments, which' far
from quieting public irritation, has only tended to 10-
crease it. In this fresh document, his Holiness insist
with great energy, on the imposibility, in his present
situation as a pacific Prince, and Father of the Faithful'
of consenting to declare war. But, at the same time, btu
states that he has taken every necessary measure ,
protect the lives of his sulojects who fight as voluntee_r:
in the Italian cause, in case they should fall into Oa_
hands of Austrians. In order to prevent the recurrence
of those acts of barbarity which have already been Perci
petrated, by order of Radeteky, on Roman subjects it
in arms, the Pope has charged Dr. Farini with an extrre
ordinary mission to Charles Albert, in order to place
sae
volunteers of the Pontifical State under his especial O.".
guard.
