HOLLAND.

THE HAGUE, JUNE 13.—The important work of
the revision of the fundamental law is now completed
by the joint labours of the Cabinet Council and the
Cabinet of the State, who have been incessantly occu-
pied in the task assigned to them. His MAJESTY has
nearly always been present at some part of the deli-
berations, and takes the deepest interest in the
subject. The new constitution is to be submitted to
the States General on the 20th of this month, for
which day the Chamber has been convoked. A pro-
ject of law is to be submitted to the Chamber in
their approaching session by the Minister of Justice,
for the abolition of capital punishment. The law, it
is said, is to come in force in three days after its pro
promulgation.—Stuats Courant, June 14.
The following are the modifications introduced into
the fundamental law bythe Ministry :
" Art. 8, relative to the liberty of the press.
" Art. 10, relative to the liberty of meetings.
" Arts. 40 and 45, relative to the regency.
" Art. 55, relative to the royal prerogative concerning
the nomination of the officers.
"Art 56, relative to the administration of the colonies.
" Ans. 72 to 74, relative to the regulations for the
election of the deputies to the first and second chambers
of the States General.

" Art. 82, relative to the period for which the mem
berg of the first Chamber are elected.

" Art. 86, relative to incompatibilities.
" Art. 117, relative to the composition of the provin
cial States.

" Art. 132, relative to local administration, and the
nomination of the burgomasters.
" Art. 160, relative to the income and pensions of the
clergy.
" Art. 162, relative to religious liberty. .

" Arts. 33, 105, 121, and 202 of the fUndamental law,
have, it appears, been introduced into the present. The
Members of the first Chamber shall be elected for the
term of nine years, a third part to go out, and to be re-
placed every three years. The Members shall be re-
eligible. The King is to have the prerogative of nomi-
nating the President of the first Chamber, as well as of
the burgomasters.

RUSSIA.

The St. Petersburgh Gazette of the 26th May con-
tains an ukase permitting all foreign ships to enter
the port of Archangel during the shipping season of
18484849, freighted with tiles and ballasted in 1848
with freestone.

The Augsburg Gazette states, from Vienna, under
date of the 6th, that the Russians have crossed the
Pruth, on the frontier of Bessarabia ; and that Baro
STURMER, the Austrian Minister at Constantino
has protested warmly against this movement.

POLAND.

A private letter from Warsaw contains the fol-
lowing :
" Order and tranquillity now prevail on our fron-
tiers in the Grand Duchy of Posen. The insurrec-
tion was in a great measure repressed by the Prussian
troops. The scattered remains of the old bands
again give themselves up to plunder. A very large
assemblage had been fixed upon just on the line of
limitation, but the sight of our troops made the
territory.
plunderers desist from their plan of violating our

The Chancellor of the Exchequer arrived in town last the rising of the populace against the Austrian army,

"In Galicia the popular mind is in state of fermen-
tation, occasioned by the attitude of the Government,
and the fearful division which exists between the agri-
cultural classes and the proprietors of the soil and
their agents. The peasants attribute the liberty
which has been granted them to the Emperor of
AUSTRIA alone. It appears, nevertheless, that we may
be able to reckon upon the continuance of the ecurity
of our frontiers. Should it unhappily prove other-
wise, the Imperial army, which is concentrated and
placed on a footing of war, is a guarantee to us that
every attack, from whatever quarter it may arise,
will be instantly punished. Foreign journals have
asserted that it was a condemnation which gave rise
to the revolt. The following is the true version of
the case :

During the performance of divine service in the
Cathedral, where a large congregation was assembled,
a person, who was formerly a schoolmaster, raised a
call to arms, and endeavoured to effect a rising in
favour of the Poles of the Grand Duchy of Posen.
He was instantly pulled down from the place which
he had mounted by the clergy ; not one person per-
son responded to his call in the midst of that large
assembly.—Journal de la Haye, June 14.

ITALY.

LOMBARDY.

The Provisional Government of Milan has pub-
lished a proclamation, dated the Bth, announcing
that the total number of votes for annexation of Lom-
bardy to Piedmont was 564,002, against 684; and
that measures would be immediately taken to obtain
the realisation of the annexation from the KING and
the Chambers of Turin.

The Milan Gazette of the 9th publishes a bulletin
of the Bth, stating that the Austrians had sent
troops to Legnago, and that contributions had been
levied at Bevilacqua, Minerbe, Marega, and Ter-
razza. Another body had been directed upon
Marostica. General DURANDO had sent a strong
vanguard to Tiene, and another to Nove, on the
right bank of the Brenta, as also the first Roman
legion from Padua to Vicenza. The Austrians
had ordered lodgings for 5,000 men at Montagnana,
From the 23d to the 30th ult. the Alps of the
Cadore had been attacked by the Austrians at nine
different points, by forces amounting in all to 8,000
men, and 234 prisoners. The head-quarters of the
Piedmontese army are at Peschiera. Several divi-
sions of Piedmontese have moved towards Villafranca,
and others to the heights of the left bank of the Lake
of Garda. Charles Albert has made many promo-
tions in the army.
The Ferrara Gazette of the sth states that Generals
PETE and FERRARI arrived there on the 4th. A
Neapolitan battery of eight pieces and a company of
sappers are at Francolino. 1,000 Modenese were
stationed at Governolo.
