MIEROSLAWSKI, it is said, received his passport,
and set out for France on the Bth. STEFANSKI and
others are to be set at liberty in the course of a few
days.

The committee which was sent hither by the poli-
tical club, in Berlin, for the purpose of ascertaining
the exact state of things here, was compelled by a
notice from the police to quit the city. It is stated
that the military commit great excesses. That as
they scarcely ever succeed in finding weapons in
searching houses, they now resort to the military
method of summoning together all the inhabitants of
the village, and continue to flog them, one by one,
until they either confess where the weapons are con-
cealed, or till their inquisitors are convinced that there
are none.—Cologne Gazette, May 21.
MAT 17.—General Vox PFUEL has published a
proclamation, of which the following is an extract :
" Haying, in my proclamation of the 12th of this
month, preliminary designated the boundary line be-
tween that portion of the Grand Duchy of Posen to be
incorporated into the Germanic Confederation, and that
portion which is to be recognised, steps will be imme-
diately taken for the formation of the government for
the latter portion. As president for the same I have
nominated Dr. Von Krezenski, knight and landed pro-
prietor, to undertake this office without delay.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.

The Danes, confiding in the intervention of Swe-
den, refuse to surrender the Isle of Alsen, and claim
again the northern part of Schleswig. They deny
also payment of the damages caused by the embargo ;
they have refused the truce proposed by England.
They have, nevertheless, suspended the blocus of the
Elbe and Weser, but merely because the English
and Russian vessels suffered from this state of things.
The Wiener Zeitung of Saturday evening has the
following letter from Schleswig, dated the 17th :
" Our advices from the north state that the evacua•
tion of Alsen and Arsoe by the Danes is hourly
expected. At the same time the German ships will
be released from the existing embargo, and, on the
other hand, the German troops will evacuate Jutland,
This account accords with the answer of the Prussian
Minister of State to the notification of the Swedish
Court. When these events have taken place the
negotiations for peace will be opened."
A letter from Flensburg announces the dissolution
of the Free Corps.

ITALY.

ROME.

---
The following is extracted from a letter from Pope
Pius IX., to a Member of the National Assembly
of France
" The different Governments have been long reproach'
ing me as the cause of their disasters and embarrass.
ments. I have replied, that in granting concessions to col
people I did but follow the advice which those porters
gave to my predecessors. If I have counselled tiv,i
people to obey their rulers, I have engaged rulers to ,Jo
justice to their people. Nor is it my fault if the Pecfle
have risen against sovereigns who rejected my cour,sels.
As to Italy, not only have I never opposed the war for
their independence, but I approve the war as a Sovereign
and as an Italian. But as Priest and Pope, all Chris;
tians being my children, I must do my best to prevent
their slaughtering each other."

LOMBARD Y AND VENICE.
The general attack on Peschiera was fixed to take
place on the 17th.
The Italian papers bring no fresh intelligence from
the seat of war, but the Gazette de Klagenfurth,
in
Carinthia, announces from Italy that Vicenza and

Treviso have capitulated.

RADETZKY. The complete junction of the two armies
was expected in a few days. The spirit of tb
Austrian troops is good, and all through Germal
and German Tyrol the feelings against the Italians
is strong. In some of the valleys of Italian Tyr
the population is not so well affected to the Austral°
Government, and the country at the head of the Lse
di Garda, to the west of Trient and Roveredo,
is
closely observed by military outposts.
Another important step has been taken toviards
unity in Northern Italy. The Provisional Groler°.
merit of Venice has notified its readiness to Wall
mate with Lombardy. The French frigate Alim°",,e-c,
is off the port of Venice. Some of the officers vil'h"
landed were enthusiastically received. Other Vrenc"
vessels were expected.
