The Borseahalle of Harnburgh states that the
Austrian liovernment claims from that of Denmark
an indemnity of eight millions of florins (rather
more than 16 millions of francs) for itt intervention
in Holstein.

The King of DENMARS had a narrow escape on the
14th. The horses of his carriage took fright and ran
away. but were fortunately stopped in time to prevent
any injury to his MAJESTY ; the carriage, however,
was so much broken that the Kllla had to return to
his palace on foot.
A letter from Copenhagen of the 14th states that
Mr. STEPHENSON, the engineer, and three agents of a
company, are in treaty with the Danish Government
for the formation of several lines of railroad.

ITALY.

The Piedmontese workmen, who are to visit the
Great London Exhibition, at the expense of the com-
mission formed at Turin or the purpose, are to set out
for London on the 27th instant.
The Monztore Toscano of the 13th announces
the creation of a Tuscan Consulate-General at St.
Petersburgh.
The Costituzionale of Florence of the 13th instant
contains the following :
"It the facts I urn about to communicate to you
did not proceed from a diplomatic source I should
not consider them deserving of attention. Of late,
clandestine proclamations, violently attacking the
Grand Duke and his Minister Baldasseroni, who is
accused of having sold the country to Austria, have
circulated in Tuscany. Those proclamations advocate
the annexation of Tuscany to Piedmont. Thanks to
the activity and ability of a Tuscan agent, the origin of
these proclamations, written and printed in Turin, and
beyond doubt, under the eye and direction of the Mar-
quis of Azeglio, has been discovered. There actually
exists in Tuscany a Piedmontese party, which meg-
nizN3 as its chief Neri Corsini, Marquis of Laiatico,
brother of the Duke of Carigliano, the present Minister
of Foreign Affairs, and with him the famous lawyer Sal-
vagnoli, who, in 1847, called Charles Albert the Sword
of Italy ; the AbE4 Raphael Lambraschini, well-known
classical writer; the Marquis Gino Capponi; Count Bar-
tolonnei; and other less-known personages. All are in-
timately connected with the Marquis of Azeglio, who
resided a long time in Tuscany, and actively laboured
with him, in 1848, at the time of the annexation of
Lombardy to Piedmont, to prevail on Tuscany to follow
the example of Lombardy. Two emigrants lately sailed
from Genoa furnished with a certain number of these
proclamations, and amply supplied with money and
letters of recommendation from M. d'Azeglio, landed at
Leghorn, where the Austrian authorities, informed of
their arrival, arrested them. Embarrassed ut their
aition, and on being promised impunity, they confessed,
and adduced proofs that they were the mere agents of
the great statesmen who reign as despots in the Palace
of Piazza Castello, at Turin, in virtue of the support
afforded to them by Lord Palmerston. We will see
how they can vindicate themselves against so serious a
charge.'
The correspondent of the Constitutionals is evi-
dently an Austrian spy, and his letter an emanation
from the forgery department of the Austrian Chan-
cery, put forth as an excuse for a meditated attack
upon Piedmont, which can be withdrawn should
Austria not deem it prudent to carry out her brigand
intentions.

The Opinione of Turin, of the 16th inst., quotes
the following letter, dated Milan, 14th :
" I was told yesterday that all the officers rind soldiers
on leave of absence had been order©d to return to their
corps, and that at Verona all the retired cffteers had
been recalled. A portion of the latter are to be reinstalt d
in the army, and those who should not be fit for
active service are to be employed in the strong places.
Some persons suppose this measure to be dictated by the
more and more menacing attitude of the French army in
Italy. Others believe that it has been inspired by the
want of fresh troops, to protect the Hungarian, Polish,
and Transylvanian frontiers, where the Russians will
be obliged to withdraw their troops to repair the checks
they have suffered in Caucasus. Notwithstanding the
pressing demands of Radetizky, the army in the Lom-
bardo-Venetian kingdom is not to be increased, through
a want of money. The troops quartered in other parts
of the empire are paid in paper currency; but those
stationed in Italy could not live it they did not receive
their pay in specie."
