PRUSSIA.

Several persons have been tried for taking part in
the riots of August last. The sentences upon those
who have been convicted are considered severe. The
prisoners have all appealed to the superior court.
It is said to be the intention to prosecute those
Deputies who voted the refusal of taxes for high
treason.

AUSTRIA.
VIENNA, DEC. 14.—The Wiener Zeitung of this
day contains an address of the electors to their
representatives at the Frankfort Parliament, in
which they protest against the division of Austria.
The Breslau Zeitung contains the following rela-
tive to Hungary, to which all eyes are now anxiously
turned :

" BARTFIELD, DEC. B.—Today Field Marshal
General Schlick entered the city with flying colours,
the music playing the national anthem. The appear-
ance of the city was perfectly tranquil, and the Aus-
trian troops were well received. The tri-colour,
which had been hoisted on the Senate -house, was
torn down by the soldiers and destroyed. To-morrow
the army proceeds to Esseries, and on the following
day will occupy that city, either peaceably or by
main force. General Schlick, before crossing the
Hungarian frontier, ssued the following proclamation :
" Soldiers ! Field-Marshal Prince Windisch-
gratz has committed to me the command of the
Gallician army, and the honour has therefore been
conferred upon me to be your leader. The object of
our marching to Hungary is the restoration of peace
and order. Those peaceful inhabitants who receive us
like brothers must be met with friendliness, but war
to those who act offensively, they shall be made to
feel the power of our faithful swords.
"We love our Emperor. Justice is on our side.
We belong to the brave Austrian army, and all will
be made plain to us.

ITALY.
An extraordinary meeting of the Chamber of
Deputies of Rome was held on the Bth instant. The
President, M. Sturbinetti, informed the Assembly
that he had convoked it in order that it might hear
the report of the deputation sent to Gaeta. M. Fus-
coni, one of its members, then rose, and said—
" On reaching the Neapolitan territory, an inspector
of police having asked us if we were repairing t
Gaeta, we repli( din the affirmative. He then t 11 us
that he had been ordered not to allow the deputation
to enter the Neapolitan territory, and that the prohi
bition even extended to the Senator of Rome. We
requested him to give us his answer in writing, which he
objected to, saying that such an act would exe ed his
instructions. The deputation then asked to be al-
lowed to forward a letter to Cardinal Antonelli, Major
Demo of the Pontifical palaces, to apprise him of the object
of its mission, with a re quest to reply to it immediately.
A Neapolitan gendarme brought us back the answer of
the Cardinal, in which he stated, that the Holy Father
wrote of his own accord from Gaeta, on the 27th ult., the
motives of his temporary absence from Rome; that he
could not consequently receive the deputation, but that
he continued to pray the Almighty to bestow Bis mercy
on Rome and the State. The deputation not being able
to accomplish its mission returned to Rome."
M. Fusconi next read those two letters, and the
President having invited the members who had any
objections to make to ascend the tribune, M. Panta-
leoni rose and said We have a duty to perform, and we must prove our-
selves equal to the circumstances, however serious they
may be. I accordingly propose to the Assembly to ap-
point a committee of five members, who, after inquiring
into the situation of the country, shall adopt, in conjunc-
tion with the Ministry, measures necessary for the secu-
rity of the State."
The Prince of Canino opposed the appointment of
a Committee, on account of the fatal delays it might
be attended with, and then moved the establishment
of a regency, composed of two laymen and a clergy-
man. The Minister Galetti supported the proposition
of M. Pantaleoni, which was carried, and the
Assembly elected as commissioners Messrs. Sturbi-
netti, Fusconi, Rezzi, Sereni, and Lunetti. The
President having invited them to meet immediately,
the Chamber adjourned.
The most perfect tranquillity prevailed at Bologna
on the 10th instant. On the 9th, General Zucchi
addressed the following letter to M. Campello, Minis-
ter of War, at Rome:--
" I retained the command I at first intended to resign,
because having hitherto succeeded in maintaining order
and tranquillity at Bologna, notwithstanding a thousand
provocations, I consider it needful for the cause of order
to preserve it some time longer. Your instructions
merely tend to excite insubordination and revolt among
the troops. You appear to delight in this, as also in at-
tacking absent men, which is an act of cowardice. But
I hope we shall meet one of these days, whe❑ I will tell
you my mind more categorically, and bring you to ac-
count fur your insolent conduct.
Letters have been received from Naples to the
11th. The ultimatum of the English and French
Governments as regards the affairs of Sicily had been
accepted in all save one point, which was the esta-
blishment of a Sicilian army. Mr. Temple and M.
