R
ASiIA:
The Vienna journals are filled with accounts of the
fetes in celebration of the return of the EMPEROR. The
joy of the good Viennese was somewhat damped, how-
ever, when they became aware of the fact that with the
EXPIC.ROR the woman CIBINI had returned also. This
woman, who possesses unbounded influence over both
the EMPEROR and the EMPRESS, is said to be an agent
of The Jesuits.

PRUSSIA.
Cologne is now the great centre of attraction. The
proceedings on the second day of the Cathedral festival
passed off admirably. After the consecration of the
newly erected portion of the Cathedral, a grand banquet
took place in the Gurzenich Hall, at which the Arch-
duke Jowl', the King of PRUSSIA, and M. GAGERN, and
Upwards of 200 Members of the German Parliament,
were present.
On entering the Hall the Administrator of the Empire
and the King of PRUSSIA were received in the most en-
thusiastic manner.
The first toast was proposed by the KING, who spoke
in the following words:—" I propose the health of a
German, a faithful and tried freed, the man of your
trust, who also possetses my affection and full confidence.
May he give us a free and united people, and free and
United Princes! To the Archduke JOHN, Administrator
Of the Empire;"
The ARCHDUKE immediately rose, and replied by the
following toast:—" To the Prince who has just proposed
my health, to the King of PRUSsIA! May GOD long
preserve him, and may our union and perseverance remain
as unshaken as the cathedral at Cologne!"
The two Princes then embraced each other, amidst the
enthusiasm of all present.
" Was ist des Deutschen. Vaterland " was sung.'
The KING then proposed the following toast:—" To
the brave labourers who aro working to raise an united
Germany, the Members of the National Assembly of
Frankfort, present and absent."
The Administrator of the Empire then proposed--
"The city which has prepared us this festival; may it
Pow and prosper, and be strong as its cathedral."
The Archbishop of COLOGNE gave a toast which ended
In these words—" I pronounce a blessing over the good
understanding of princes and people, as we pronounced
it this morning in the cathedral."
M. SIRON. Vice-President of the Frankfort Perlis-
Mont, proposed a toast, "To German Brotherhood."
M. DE GAGERN, the President, then said, " I
.join in
the sentiment expressed by the last speaker. I drink
to the general fraternity of all Germans; to the co-
operation of all those who are called upon to labour at
the great work of German unity; to the representatives
of the German people, and, above all, to the National
Assembly of Berlin."
All these toasts were received with the greatest en-
thusiasm.

The KING and the Administrator of the Empire then
rose and left the hall with their suite, and proceeded to
Drab!, where a grand dinner was given to more than
800 guests.
On the 16th the Administrator of the Empire left
Bruhl, to return to Frankfort, and the King of PRUSSIA.

Some serious disturbances took place at Dusseldorf,
on Monday, in consequence of a dispute between some
Prussian soldiers and the Burgher Guard. Several
-shots were exchanged, and it was not until the soldiers
Were withdrawn from the streets that tranquillity was
restored.

ROME.

An address to the French Republic, demanding inter-
vention, has been signed by the people.
At Bologna ample preparations have been made for
the reception of the Austrians, should they venture to
t'neer their attack. Barricades have been erected at all
the entrances of the city, and the peasants of the sur-
rounding districts have risen en masse in defence of the
