A Berlin letter of the ult. says—
" .L.ist night was not so much disturbed as seemed to
be apprehended. A few slight wounds and a few arrests
were the only events. Two gun shots, which are asserted
to hare been fired by the people, contributed to render
the assemblages much greater. Two men of the working
class are reported to have been wounded by these shots.
It is said that the rnag:strate has applied to the Minister
of War to be authorised to restore order in the city. M.
de Schreckenstein said he was willing to comply, but re-
commended the magistrate to reflect upon the conse-
quences which might ensue .to the municipal authority
from a military intervention ordered by that authority.
There was a soiree given yesterday by the President of
the Council of Ministers, at' which were present several
members of the diplomatic body, and, among ithem,
MM. Arago, Nothomb, d'Ohsson, the Swedish Envoy,
and the Turkish Chargi d'Affaires. The President of
the Council did not either have the shutters closed or
take any other measure of precaution."

RUSSIA.
A letter from St. Petersburgh states that on the
19th ult. there were 34 new cases of cholera, 34 re-
coveries, and 9 deaths. The day after there remained
545 persons attacked, or 79 less than the day before:
At Riga, up to the 17th of August, 6,095 persons
had been attacked, of whom 1,968 died, 3,709 reco-
vered, and 418 were still ill.

HUN GARY.
A letter from Pesth of the 22d ult. has the follow-
ing :—" A royal rescript, dated the 14th, addressed
to the Diet, and read at the end of yesterday's sitting
of the Chamber of Representatives, has created great
consternation. The KING thereby makes known that,
his health being improved, he resumes the govern-
ment into his own hands, and discharges the Arch-
duke Palatine from the functions of Lieutenant-
General of the King, which had been conferred upon
him. It is feared that this rescript will be the over-
throw of the conquests made by the Hungarians in
March ; for without a Lieutenant-General of the
king, resident at Ofen, a general government of
Hungary in its capital is not to be thought of."
