DANUBIAN PRINCIPALITIES.

BUCUAREST, JULY 20.—The Provisional Govern-
ment has invited all the inhabitants to sign an address
to be presented to the Emperor of RUSSIA.

POLAND.

The Cologne Gazette states that an insurrection broke
out on the 13th in Warsaw, in which some of the troops
have taken part. Aftr ve hours' bombardment the
city submitted. Details are wanting, but it appears
that this insurrection is connected with the conspiracy
of Staniszen ski, recently discovered at St. Petersburgb,
and which got wind in consequence of a betrayal. It
was intended to strike the first blow at St. I'etersburgh.
According to intelligence which, however, requires
confirmation, a new Polish conspiracy has been disco-
vered at Kalisch, which was to have been carried out on
the 15th at Kalisch, Posen, and Gallicia simultaneously.
From fifty to sixty persons in the Grand Duchy of Posen
arc said to be implicated. According to another report,
a meeting of the Poles was surprised by Cossacks, and
the individuals who composed it were arrested and
transported without trial. It is said that among the per-
sons thus banished there are twelve belonging to the
Duchy of Posen.

DARMSTADT.

Letters from Darmstadt state that on the morning
of the 11th of August the body of the Countess of
Goramz, who died about fourteen months since, was
disinterred, by order of the magistrates, in the pre-
sence of Count GORLITZ and his valet JOHN STAUFF.
The body has been submitted to medical examination,
and various surmises are afloat as to the object of this
extraordinary measure after so long a lapse of time.

SUN OFFICE, Seven o'Clock

ELECTION COMMITTEES.
(THIS DAY.)
CHELTENHAM.

At the sitting of the Committee this morning,
Mr. R. GURNEY applied to the Committee to substi-
tute the name of Mr. Gardner for that of Mr. Berkeley
in the return made by the Mayor of Cheltenham. He
grounded this application upon the fact, which he proved,
that a notice was given to the electors some days before
the election, that inasmuch as Mr. Berkeley had been
guilty of treating at the previous contest, he was ince-
pacited from offering himself again as a candidate for
the seat.
Mr. JAMES, on behalf of the electors, resisted the ap-
plication on the ground that as Mr. Berkeley had de-
clared, both in print and at the hustings, that he was
not disqualified, they bad no right to presume that the
notice given on the other side was legal, until a tribunal
had decided upon the truth of the allegation it contained.
The Committee took the same view of the matter, and
refused the application.
They then agreed to a resolution declaring the Last
election for the borough of Cheltenham to be a void
election, and their labours terminated.

THE HAGUE, AUG. 22.—The First Chamber of
the. States-General has been convoked for the 25th
of this month. We announced a few days ago that
several new members were to be added to the First
Chamber, and that his MAJESTY, by a royal decree,
had appointed Count VAN DER DUYN, VAN MAAS-
DEN, Baron HERCKEREN D'ENGIIINZEN, and F.
VAN DER ONDERMEULEN as members. We have
just learnt that his MAJESTY has been further pleased
to appoint as members of the First Chamber M.
Vos DE WARL, Burgomaster of the city of Zuolle,
and Count DE STIRUM. We must add, to the hoLour
of these new members of our Legislature, that on
accepting these honourable functions they have de-
clined the pay attached to them. This noble ex-
ample of patriotism will not have been given in
in
vain. The new reductions the expenses
of the State, and a few more sacrifices of this kind,
will soon bring back to their normal situation the
finances of the State, which have unhappily lost much
during the diplomatic events which have taken place
during the last six months.
The Nederlandsche Staats Conrant announces that
the Minister of Finance intends to withdraw his pro

BATAVIA, JUNE 28.—The steam-boat the Queen
of the Netherlands arrived here on the 27th of May,

and left for Singapore with the mail, conveying 1,971
letters from Europe of April last.
The Java journals, which have been received up
to the 28th of June, give sad accounts of the eruption
of the Volcano of Klvet, between Passarouang
and Kedirie on the 16th of May. Immense masses
of fire were ejected, which in falling destroyed all the
vegetation around. The rivers were raised above the
level of their banks, and many people and cattle lost
their lives. Whole farms were swept away, and
several rice fields and coffee plantations, with more
than 100,000 coffee trees, were destroyed. Several
bridges, among others that at Kedirie, have been to-
tally destroyed. On the 13th of May there were
three severe shocks of earthquake at Kedirie. On
the 20th the Klvet was still enveloped in smoke and
mist, and very fine ashes still fell from the craters
to a considerable distance. On the 3d of June 48
native dwellings were thrown down at Adjebarang,
near Bawjoemaas by a hurricane.—Amsterdam Cou-
rant, Aug. 22.

The Allgemeine Handelsblad of the 22d says that
the troops were compelled to quit Bali, which they
had nearly mastered, for want of ammunition and
water. Though their retreat was effected in the
utmost order, the losses amounted to 14 officers, 104
European soldiers, 25 Africans, and 113 islanders.

ITALY.
VENICE.

The following proclamation was issued at Venice on
the 12th by the Provisional Government:—
" VENICE, AUG. 12.—Citizens! In this hour of danger
we have need to take prompt and energetic measures. To
the end that you may not be without a chief, I have not hesi-
tated, although it be only for a few hours, to take upon my-
self the office of Dictator. .Necessity has made this course a
law to me, but your kindness will render it less painful than
it would otherwise`be.' - To-morrow will meet the Assembly
of your representatives, whose first care will be to constitute
a new Government, and afterwards to provide for present
emergencies. Have confidence in God, in us, in Italy, and
also in the aid of other free nations—aid which we have de-
manded, and which will not fail us."

The Provisional Dictator IVIANirt has alto addressed
the following proclamation to the army :
" Italian soldiers !—The war of independence for which you
have alreafily shed your blood has assumed a disastrous phase
for us. Perhaps at this moment our canals close the sole re-
fuge for Italian liberty 1 Venice must, therefore, guard this
sacred spot at any price. Courage, citizens! In the name of
that Italy for whom you have fought, and desire still to fight,
I conjure you not to relax your zeal for the defence of this
sacred asylum of our nationality. The moment is eolemn.
The stake is the political life of an entire people, whose des-
tiny may depend on the fate of this last bulwark. You sol-
diers who have come from the river Po, front the Mincio,
and from the Ticino, for the defence of the common cause,
remember that in saving this city you will save the most
precious rights of your native land. Your families will bless
you, Europe, in admiration of your noble perseverance, will
give that perseverance the reward it merits; in that day when
Italy shall be able to call herself free, among so many monu-
ments sacred to the valour and the glory of our fathers, she
will raise another, on which she will inscribe these words :
'The Italian soldiers is defending Venice saved the indepen-
dence of their country.' " MANIN.
" Venice, Aug. 12, 1848."
The Opinione of Turin publishes the following letter
from Venice, dated the 13th:—

" The Sardinian fleet has arrived here with the Venetian
one, and has declared that, having no orders, it will stay
here at the disposal of Venice. The forts are continually
firing upon the Austrians. The Assembly, convoked for this
day, has named the new Government, consisting of Manin,
Cavedalis, and Graziani. The Piedmontese will not quit us;
the Sardinian fleet returns to blockade Trieste."

VALE OF NEATH RAILWAY.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yester-
day, at the office, West Strand, Mr. Barlow in the chair; but
a sufficient number of shareholders not having attended to
constitute a legal meting, it was adjourned sine die.
The report, which was laid on the table, stated that the
whole of the line extending from the town of Neath to the
top of the Neath Valley was iu the course of formation, and
will be proceeded with as speedily as possible, in order that
it may be opened simultaneously with that part of the South
Wales Railway which will communicate with the ports of Neath
and Swansea. The contracts for an additional six miles of the
line, which will complete the communication between Neath
and Hirwain, are to be let immediately. The Bill legalizing
the subscription of the South Wales Company towards this
undertaking has been obtained. The Commissioners of
Railways have granted an extension of two years for the
purchase of land and completion of works. The directors
had purchased 2,000 tons of rails at the present low price of
iron. The engineer's report referred to the delays which had
occurred to the works through the difficulty of obtaining
possession of certain lands. The accounts showed that
108,0041. had been received and 45,6671. expended, leaving a
balance of 62,336/.
It was intimated that no call would be made before the end
of the present year.

FRANCE.

Price

Le Siècle states that Colonel LEFLO had arrived at St.
Petersburgli as Envoy Extraordinary of the French Re-
public, and that the Emperor NICHOLAS had recognized
the new Government of France, and was about to appoint
a Minister to represent him in Paris. By order of
General CANAIGNAc, M. DUBODAN, Representative of
the People, General CHARON, Director of the Algerian
Department in the Ministry of War, and M. FEI.LMAN,
Under Director in the same Ministry, have been ap-
pointed members of the Committee charged with divining
the means of transportation of the insurgents of June.
A Communist procession took place at Avignon on

SAVOY.
The military commander of the Syndics of Savoy has
:ssued the following circular:--

" Chambery, August 15.
"His Excellency the Governor announced to me that,
if the intervention of France ever became necessary, it
would be only on a formal request of our Government,
and after the expiration of the armistice of six weeks,
concluded on the 9th instant, between Italy and Austria,
to negotiate the conditions of peace. Now that period
4nust be employed in re-organizing—tbse,:arnaY-4,every
means already ordered and in progress of execution, for
ce. the purpose of making sure of an advantageous peace, and
it is with that view that the Extraordinary Commissary
of the Government has, by his proclamation, called all
the Savoisians under arms, and decreed the mobilization
of the district militia; because a people, who wishes to
obtain peace on honourable conditions, must above all be
prepared for war."

LATEST MANCHESTER BETTING.
MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—The subscribers being about
to leave for York by the afternoon trains, mustered in strong
numbers at the room, but there was very little business
going forward on future events. In fact, Dough and Re-
membrance were the only horses in request for the Ebor
Handicap ; and the only offers on the St. Leger were to back
Springy Jack at 3 to 1, and either Justice to Ireland or Flat-
catcher at 4to 1 each. A few bets were made on the Great
Yorkshire Handicap at our quotations. The latest prices are

The Debtors and Creditors Bill, which declares
that " suspensions or cessations of payments which
have taken place since February 24 up to the promul-
gation of the present Bill were not to receive the
qualification of failure, nor to involve the disqualifi-
cations attached to quality of bankrupt, except in
such cases as the Tribunal of Commerce should re-
fuse to sanction the concordat," was yesterday passed
by the Assembly by a majority of 545 to 127.
The eight Military Commissioners which are sit-
ting to determine the fate of the insurgents of June
have decided 4,400 cases. Of these 2,100 prisoners
have been set at liberty; 2,120 prisoners have been
transported, and between 160 and 170 have been re-
ferred to court-martial. It is only the gravest cases
that are referred to the courts-martial. One of the
first of these was that of PAUL. SAINTARD, who was
charged with having taken the command of the in-
surgents at the barricade of the Rue du Jardin des
Plantes. He was convicted and sentenced to hard
labour at the hulks for ten years, to pay a fine of
200 f. and the costs of the prosecution.
General CAVAIGNAC has determined to convoke
the Electoral Colleges forthwith, to proceed to fill
up the vacancies in the Assembly. The elections will
take place in the second week of September.
The Communist editors of the suspended journals
have published a protest against the act of suspension.
A courier arrived in Paris yesterday from Vienna,
bearing the important intelligence that Austria had
accepted the mediation of France and England in the
affairs of Italy.
BOURSE.—PASIS, WEDNESDAY, Auo. 23.
THREE O'CLOCK.—The rise which commenced yesterday
made further progress to-day, and during the whole day the
demand both for Rentes and Railway Shares was steady and
brisk. It was very currently reported that the Government had
received accounts from Vienna that the mediation of Eng-
land and France had been accepted. It was also said
that Naples had abandoned the expedition to Sicily at
the request of England and France. Both these facts,
together with the cessation of the military preparations
in Paris, and of the rumours of traeutes, had a very
favourable effect. The belief in the peaceful termina-
tion of the affairs of Italy becomes every day stronger.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

TENBY, SAUNDERSFOOT, AND SOUTH WALES
RAILWAY.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held rester-
day at the office, Gresham Rooms; Mr. W. Chadwick in the
chair. The report stated that the Commissioners of Rail-
ways had granted an extension of time for making the line
till July, 1851 ; that the executors of the late solicitors to the
company allowed a very considerable reduction to be made
in their account, which with some other outstanding claims,
having been paid, had reduced the balance is hand to a very
small sum ; that an arrangement had been entered into
with the Saundersfoot Railway and Harbour Company, by
which the latter agreed to reduce the rate of interest pay-
able by this company upon the purchase money of that
undertaking, from 5 to 4 per cent. per annum, provided the
half-year's interest due to them on the 30th of June last at
such reduced rates be now paid, and on their continuing to
receive the tolls and dues from the said railway and har-
bour, they will not require the balance of interest to be paid
to hem until the Teuby and Saundersfoot Railway is
completed; that the Pembrokeshire Iron and Coal Com-
pany were opening up the resources of their collieries and
mines, that blast furnaces wore in course of erection, in addi-
tion to which other collieries are being opened and extended,
from which an augmentation to the income of the company
was expected ; that on the passing of the Act the directors
were voted 500/. per annum ; at the last meeting they deter-
mined to receive only a moiety of that sum, and now they
declined receiving any further remuneration until it is neces-
sary to commence making the line. The accounts for the
half-year showed that 3,031/. had been received, including
9341. from the last account, and 2,8271. expended, leaving a
balance of 2071. in hand.

The CHAIRMAN stated that the time forcommencing opera-
tions on this line would depend entirely upon the progress of
the main trunk of the South Wales Railway. When that
time arrived the directors would call the shareholders toge-
ther, and submit the mode of proceeding.
The report was adopted.
At the special meeting a resolution was passed allowing the
payment of interest on deposits up to the 30th of June last,
but discontinuing the practice from and after that date.
Thanks were voted to the chairman, and the meeting se-
parated,

Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand, London.
UNIVERSITY COLLEGE.—The surgical appointments
at University College have at length been filled up. The
dissensions which have so recently occurred have been healed
by a judicious selection of new men, and there is now every
prospect that the October session will be opened under the
most favourable auspices. Mr. J. M. Arnott has accepted
the office of surgeon to the North London Hospital and
Professor of Surgery in University College. Mr. Arnott, by
his long connexion with the Middlesex Hospital, has become
completely identified with the profession of the metropolis.
Mr. Richard Qusin takes the Professorship of Clinical Sur-
gery, and Mr. Morton holds the office of surgeon to the hos-
pital. Ilr. J. E. Ericbsen and Mr. Marshall have boa ap •
pointed ateistaut-surgeons. —Mated UresOtv.

PRICES OF SHARES order to prevent a recurrence of these complaints and annoy-
IN BANKS, ASSURANCE, AND OTHER COM.. anTelt3 Committee then broke up after a sitting of no lass than
PANIES' STOCK. 73 days.
From the Official List,
PUBLISHED EVERY TUESDAY AND FRIDAY EVENING.

CHELTENHAM.

The rebutting evidence on behalf of the sitting Member
having closed, Mr. JAMES summed up, after which Mr.
GURNEY replied on the whole case.
The room was then cleared, and the Committee, after a
short consultation, came to the following resolutions :
"That Craven Eitzhardinge Berkeley, Esq., was not duly
elected at the last election to serve as a burgess in the pre-
sent Parliament for the borough of Cheltenham.
" That the said Craven Fitzhardinge Berkeley, Esq., being
a candidate for the said seat at the election held on the 30th
of July, 1847, was, through his agents, guilty of treating;
and the said Craven Fitzhardinge Berkeley was, in conse-
quence thereof, disqualified from offering himself as a candi-
date at the election held in June, 1848."
The CHAlitivux wished to know what course the parties
intended to pursue now?
Mr. GURNEY said the petitioners claimed the seat for Mr.
Gardner; and he proposed now to put in evidence to prove
that notice of Mr. Berkeley's disqualification was given to
the electors previous to the last election, which, he con-
tended, would be sufficient to justify the Committee in seat-
ing Mr. Gardner.
Mr. JAMES said he was not prepared to meet that question
then, and he had therefore to pray for an adjournment, as the
matter involved a point not only of local, but constitutional
interest.

The Committee acceded to this request, and adjourned
to-morrow, at eleven o'clock.

HORSHA
The Committee was occupied the whole day with the evi-
dence of Mr. Padwick, the alleged agent of the sitting Mem-
ber, who was called to prove that he did not act as Mr. Fitz-
gerald's agent, but only as his friend. All he did at the elec-
tion was in his capacity of a partizan and not as an agent ;
but he positively denied having bribed, or attempted to bribe,
any of the electors. No doubt treating was resorted to, but
it was not, he contended, to influence the votes of the elec-
tors ; but the refreshments were given to them by himself
and others as friends, and without the knowledge or consent
of Mr. Fitzgerald, the sitting Member.

ITALY.
VENICE.

The following proclamation was issued at Venice on
the 12th by the Provisional Government:—
" VENICE, AUG. 12.—Citizens! In this hour of danger
we have need to take prompt and energetic measures. To
the end that you may not be without a chief, I have not hesi-
tated, although it be only for a few hours, to take upon my-
self the office of Dictator. Necessity has made this course a
law to me, but your kindness will render it less painful than
it would otherwise be. To-morrow will meet the Assembly
of your representatives, whose first care will be to constitute
a new Government, and afterwards to provide for present
emergencies. Have confidence in God, in us, in Italy, and
also in the aid of other free nations—aid which we have de-
manded, and which will not fail us."
The Provisional Dictator MANIN has alto addressed
the following proclamation to the army:—
"Italian soldiers !—The war of independence for which you
have alreadyshed your blood has assumed a disastrous phase
for us. Perhaps at this moment our canals close the sole re-
fuge for Italian liberty t Venice must, therefore, guard this
sacred spot at any price. Courage, citizens! In the name of
that Italy for whom you have fought, and desire still to fight,
I conjure you not to relax your zeal for the defence of this
sacred asylum of our nationality. The moment is solemn.
The stake is the political life of an entire people, whose des-
tiny may depend on the fate of this last bulwark. You sol-
diers who have come from the river Po, from the Mincio,
and from the Ticino, for the defence of the common cause,
remember that in saving this city you will save the most
precious rights of your native land. Your families will bless
you, Europe, in admiration of your noble perseverance, will
give that perseverance the reward it merits; in that day when
Italy shall be able to call herself free, among so many monu-
ments sacred to the valour and the glory of our fathers, she
will raise another, on which she will inscribe these words :
'file Italian soldiers in defending Venice saved the indepen-
dence of their country.' " MANIN.
" Venice, Aug. 12, 1818.'
The Opinione of Turin publishes th• following letter
from Venice. dated the 13th:—

" The Sardinian fleet has arrived here with the Venetian
one, and has declared that, having no orders, it will stay
here at the disposal of Venice. The forts are continually
tiring upon the Austrians. The Assembly, convoked for this
day, has named the new Government, consisting of Alanin,
Cavedalis, and Graziani. The Piedmontese will not quit us;
the Sardinian fleet returns to blockade Trieste."

DANUBIAN PRINCIPALITIES.

BUCHAREST, JULY 20.—The Provisional Govern-
ment has invited all the inhabitants to sign an address
to be presented to the Emperor of RUSSIA.

POLAND.

The Cologne Gazette states that an insurrection broke
out on the 13th in Warsaw, in which some of the troops
have taken part. After five hours' bombardment the
city submitted. Details are wanting, but it appears
that this insurrection is connected with the conspiracy
of Staniszewski, recently discovered at St. Petersburgh,
and which got wind in consequence of a betrayal. It
was intended to strike the first blow at St. Petersburgh.
According to intelligence which, however, requires
confirmation, a new Polish conspiracy, has been disco-
vered at Kalisch, which was to have been carried out on
the 15th at Kalisch, Posen, and Gallicia simultaneously.
From fifty to sixty persons in the Grand Duchy of Posen
are said to be implicated. According to another report,
a meeting of the Poles was surprised by Cossacks, and
the individuals who compose:l it were arrested and
transported without trial. It is said that among the per-
sons thus banished there are twelve belonging to the
Duchy of Posen.

VALE OF NEATII RAILWAY.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yester-
day, at the office, West Strand, ➢lr. Barlow in the chair; but
a sufficient number of shareholders not having attended to
constitute a legal meeting, it was adjourned sine die.
The report, which was laid on the table, stated that the
whole of the line extending from the town of Neath to the
top of the Neath Valley was in the course of formation, and
will be proceeded with as speedily as possible, in order that
it may be opened simultaneously with that part of the South
Wales Railway which will communicate with the ports of Neath
and Swansea. The contracts for an additional six miles of the
line, which will complete the communication between Neath
and Ilirwain, are to be let immediately. The Bill legalizing
the subscription of the South Wales Company towards this
undertaking has been obtained. The Commissioners of
Railways have granted an extension of two years for the
purchase of land and completion of works. The directors
had purchased 2,000 tons of rails at the present low price of
iron. The engineer's report referred to the delays which had
occurred to the works through the difficulty of obtaining
possession of certain lands. The accounts showed that
108,0041. had been received and 45,6671. expended, leaving a
balance of 62,3361.
It was intimated that no call would be made before the end
of the present year.

LOMBARDY.

A party has declarrd itself among the Lombards for
the creation of a Duchy, at the head of which the Duke
of LEICIITENDERG, the son of EUGENE BEAUHARNOIS,
who married the Princess MARIE of Russia, should be
placed. _ _

Placentia has surrendered to the Austrian troops, who
also occupy Brescia, Bergamo, and Como.

ROME.
The POPE has appointed the Swiss General, LATOUR
Minister of War.

NAPLES.

On the 12th of August the Neapolitan Ministers,
with the exceptions of the Ministers of War, Marine,
and Justice, tendered their resignations, on the ground
that they did not receive sufficient support from the
Chambers. The KING had not decided whether he
should accept them. The expedition to Sicily has been
postponed, in consequence of the Ministerial crisis.
The Courtier Francais says that the King of NAPLES
has addressed a note to the different Cabinets of the
Great Powers, to whom he has sent his protest against
the election of the Duke of GENOA as King of SICILY.
In this note he declares that he is willing to consent to
the separation of Sicily, and to the concession of a con-
stitution of the most comprehensive kind, provided that
the Sicilians consent to take his second son as heredi-
tary Viceroy. It is added, that the English Ambas-
sador has offered his mediation, and that be has gone
to Palermo to recommend to the Sicilians to enter into
an arrangement with the Neapolitan Government.

ITALY.

The Concordia of the 27th ult. states that GARRI...
DALDI had embarked, with 70 adherents, at Geneva on
the 24th, for Sicily, where he had been invited to repair
to assume the command of the Sicilian army. The
Lucca Gazette of the 24th states that the Neapolitan
Government had adhered in principle to the Italian
Federation. The Patria of Florence of the 24th an-
nounces from Modena that the Duclisss was deli-
vered of a princess at Balzano on the 19th. The
family of the Grand Duke of TUSCANY has left Flo-
rence for Siena, where they intend passing some
time. By a decree of the GRAND DIME of the 17th,
the formation of a battalion of foreign troops is de-
creed.
London, England, 1848-11-01

PRUSSIA.

The King of Prussia having, as is said, refused to
sanction the Bill abolishing the game-laws, adopted
by the National Assembly, two Deputies demanded,
in the sitting of the Assembly on the 25th, when
the sanction would be given. The Minister of
Finance said the Government was not able to
answer, but would do so in a week. This reply
caused great tumult and long agitation. Subse-
quently several representatives proposed a resolution
declaring that, in order to prevent agitation in the
country, it was the urgent duty of the Ministry
to obtain the sanction to the Bill. A brief and
exciting debate then took place, in the the course of
which M. Parrisius created immense sensation by
declaring that it was the fixed and invariable deter-
mination of the Assembly to abolish the game-laws;
and imme Lime agitation was also created by M. d'Ester
announcing that, if the Government should not obtain
the sanction, the Chamber might decide on sanction-
ing the Bill itself. An attempt to pass to the order
of the day having failed, the resolution was adopted
by a large majority—a circumstance which occasioned
great and prolonged sensation.
A letter from I3erlin, of the 2Gth, says The
city is exceedingly agitated to-day. A placard from
M. Held had called on the burgesses, in the prevision
of a speedy siege, to procure a supply of provisions.
According to that gentleman, whatever may be the
issue of the events of Vienna, reaction would
prepare a coup de main at Berlin. This
caused great uneasiness amongst the people ;
but this was not all. Near the arsenal a
vessel was being loaded with arms and ammunition ;
the people wished to prevent the vessel from departing.
A battalion of the Burgher Guard refused to march
against them. M. Rimpler wrote to the President of
the Council, praying him to retard the departure of
the vessel for twenty• four hours. The answer has
not yet arrived, but it is probable that it will be as
M. Einar:ler recommended."
