BAVARIA.

The Augsburg Gazette of the 28th ult. announces
the safe delivery of the Queen of BAVARIA of a
Prince on the morning of the 27th.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
We have received Copenhagen papers of the 26th
ult., and they contain some interesting news. The
Berlin Gazette says that his MAJESTT has sum-
moned Count CHARLES MOLTKE to his head-quar-
ters at Friedricia. Count MOLTKE, it will be re-
membered, was a member of the late Cabinet, and
resigned because his colleagues accused him (Ai
being too much in favour of the Schleswig-Hol-
stein cause ; it is, therefore, to be surmised that
the KING is anxious once more to try negotia-
tions with his rebel subjects. The probability of
this surmise is still increased by another account,
namely, that M. D'OxaoLM, one of the King's Aides-
de-Camp, who had been entrusted with a confidential
mission to St. Petersburgh, had returned with a posi-
tive declaration from the EMPEROR, "that he could
not in any way actively interfere in the conflict, so
long as the allied troops did not overstep the bounda-
ries of Denmark Proper; but that he would use
every endeavour to induce the Prussian Government
to withdraw its army across the Eider, and that,
provided the English Cabinet would do the same, he
would immediately dispatch a Commissioner to the
two opposing head-quarters for the purpose of making
proposals for an amicable settlement of the question."
This last account we extract from the well-informed
and semi- official journal Fcedrelandet.
All the Copenhagen papers continue to speak in the
highest terms of the excellent spirit, amounting to a
perfect enthusiasm, which prevails over the whole
coun try.
There is no news from Schleswig- Holstein. A
dispatch from General HALKETT, the Commander of
the Hanoverian auxiliary army, only states some
trifling movements in advance, but nothing positive
was known of the precise position of the Danish
army.

The harbours of Kiel, and the Schleswig and Hol-
stein canal, are blockaded by Danish ships ; a frigate
and two gun-boats lie before the entrance.
Some Prussian ships lying at Stettin, ready to
sail for Copenhagen, with freights of timber for
the Danish Government, have received letters of
safety from the Danish authorities ; but the
captains still refuse to sail, it not being
distinctly specified that the safe conduct extends
to the return as well as to the outward voyage.
There is a large quantity of ship timber belong•
ing to the Danish Government stored at Stet-
tin,
purchased on its account, and—which is
dwelt on by the Germans with some satisfaction—
paid for. The Prussian Government has consulted
with the heads of the shipping interest in Stettin on
the possibility of arming a number of vessels as
quickly as possible to protect the ports against the
Danes. A commission has been formed to consider
the matter; it is understood that the arming of
merchant vessels cannot be carried into effect with
any success; but the commission undertakes to pro-
vide some gun-boats.
Disturbances have broken out at Stralsund. The
Constitutional Club has appointed a committee for
the purpose of providing for the defence of the
coasts.

Extract from a letter dated Hamburgh, April 29,
received in London yesterday : " The Danish
schooner Geyser, Hohn, in proceeding down the Elbe
to-day, was twice fired at with blank cartridge from
the Slade battery, but returning no answer a ball
was fired at her, which compelled her to heave to,
when she was taken possession of by the Hanoverians.
All Danish vessels, except those belonging to the
Dukedoms of Schleswig and Holstein, and to the
city of Altona, will be seized in the Elbe, Weser,
Eider, Hever, and on the Hanoverian coast ; and it is
expected that the Danish Consuls in England will
notify to such Danish vessels coming up the Channel
not to continue their voyage."

An Altona correspondent of the 29th in the
Cologne Gazette confirms the report of the German
troops having taken possession of Hadersleben. An-
other and more important report contained in the
same letter is the evacuation of the island of Alsen
by the Danes. There was also a rumour of a counter-
revolution at Copenhagen, but no particulars are
stated.

The Minister of War announced the entire eva-
cuation of Syracuse by the Neapolitan troops, and
the continuance of tranquillity at Messina.
The Epoca of Rome of the 22d ultimo publishes a
decree of King FERDINAND of Naples, dated the 18th,
in which he declares illegal, null, and void, the de-
claration of his dethronement promulgated by the
Sicilian Parliament.

DUTCH PAPERS.
THE HAGUE, MAY I.—Last night a fire broke out
in the War Department, but speedy assistance being
at hand within the Hotel, its further spread was pre-
vented.

MAY 2.—His Majesty, yesterday, gave a private
audience to General De Mansbach, who had the
honour to deliver to his Majesty his credentials of
Minister Plenipotentiary and Envoy Extraordinary
from his Majesty the king of Sweden and Norway
at the Court of the Netherlands.
By a royal resolution of the 29th April, his Ma-
jesty:has ibeen pleased to grant Baron De Tour van
Belliuchave an honourable dismissal from the func-
tions as member of the First Chamber of his States
General.—Nederlandsche Staats Courant, May 3.
AMSTERDAM, MAY 2.—Although the elections at
Paris might be easily foreseen, the official intelligence
received yesterday, nevertheless, produced a good
effect upon our market. In Dutch funds the integrats
rose nearly 1 per cent. higher than yesterday. The
!idler inland funds, with but little business, also
improved. The Russian and Austrian were much
in demand, as likewise were the Spanish and Portu-
guese, the latter at a rise of 14 per cent., and the
Three per Cent. Inland rose per cent.—Amsterdam
Courant, May 3;

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market has been quieter, but former prices
are barely maintained. Sales 4,000 to 5,000 bales.
American realised 3fd. to sd. per lb. For Railway
Shares there was a good demand at advanced prices.
The market closed very firmly.
Much interest is felt with regard to the state of affairs
in Italy, and the report just circulated that the French
army is on the march to assist Charles Albert excites
the liveliest anxiety. The flame of war lighted up be-
tween France and Austria, a great European contest
seems inevitable. Still every one is inclined to hope for
the best, and especially that England may keep aloof.
The letters and papers from the United States are of
interest, as the money market had been affected by the
intelligence from Europe, and there were large remit-
tances of specie making to Europe. There had been
some failures among the French houses, but on the whole
they stood their ground better than might perhaps have
been expected. 'The American merchants are in a pros-
perous condition, and with their • ample resources
have nothing to fear while England stands its
ground. 'The State revenues are steadily improving, and
the following information is interesting for the cre-
ditors:—
" The legislatures of most of the states in this Union
have adjourned, some by constitutional limitation, and
some on account of the disposal of all the business ender

In Illinois everything is encouraging. The Illinois and

or
two, what the income from this work will be this
season, and what may be expected for the future. It is
our belief that the tolls will be large, and that an im-
mense transportation business will
be done on this
canal this the first season of its completion. This,
with the two-mile tax authorised by the new constitu-
tion for the payment of the principal of the internal
debt, must place the finances of Illinois in a better posi-
tion than they have ever before actually been, and
enable the State to pay a larger per cent. interest on the
public debt.
" Indiana does not progress so rapidly as the neigh-
bouring states. Her public works being but partially
completed, and her finances in such a confused condition
it is impossible to form any idea of her probable ability
to meet the claims of her creditors. The arrangement

the Union has been guilty of—repudiation of an ac-
knowledged debt. When the terms were first proposed
they were accepted because they were supposed to be
the best in the power of the State to fulfil ; but the
publie mind has experienced a very great change since,
and a very different feeling is expressed to that first
created."
The trade with Canada will shortly be resumed, as
the ice was breaking up at Three Rivers. The colony
was tolerably tranquil, and it is hoped trade will progress
steadily, and the immigration be of a more wholesome
character.
The sales of wheat last week in the provincial markets
were 86,344 quarters.
The Funds are not quite so good to-day, the natural
effect of sales to realise profits upon the decided advance
of the last few days. The abundance of money is the
chief cause that prices are maintained, for although
Irish affairs are looking well, there is no certainty with
