BEADON.

In two districts of Lower Bengal much excite-
ment has arisen, connected with the cultivation of
indigo ; we apprehend no disturbance which will
not be promptly suppressed by military police.
The magistrates' powers have been enlarged by a
temporary law, and a special commission of inquiry
will be issued.

The Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal reports that
he has every reason to believe that the excitement
in the indigo districts is passing off, and that he
has no apprehension of serious disturbances any-
where. PRESIDENT IN COUNCIL.
Calcutta, April 1.

PAI, FRIDAY.

The Constitutionnel, in an article signed by M.
Boniface, relative to the reforms introduced in
Hungary by Austria, says " France views with
satisfaction those acts which bring peoples nearer
to their Governments, and which, by assuring the
internal tranquillity of States are a token for peace
for Europe."
Abbe Sisson has been pardoned.

PARIS, THURSDAY.
The Paris papers contain the following message
from Nice :

" Nearly all the communes of the mountains
have voted unanimously for annexation to France.
The number of voters will exceed 20,000. The
voting of 70 communes is known. Up to the pre-
sent time only 100 negatives have been registered."

" 3.25 P.M.

Bourse, and prices have improved. The final quo-
tation of Rentes was 70f. 20c., being a recovery of
i per cent. since yesterday."

The insurrection was suppressed through
treachery in the Convent Gaucia.
The city is tranquil. Nevertheless the principal
roads are daily patrolled by a column of 3,000 men,
consisting of cavalry, infantry, and artillery. The
members of a revolutionary committee, amongst
whom are several eminent persons, have been con-
demned to death. The King has ordered their
execution to be delayed.

MESSINA (via MARSEILLES), APRIL 16.

Tranquillity is restored, and commerce resumed.
Several y oung men compromised in the late events
have fled the country.
The emigration of the inhabitants is consider-
able. During the insurrection the citadel was
obliged to cannonade four large Calabrian barques,
which attempted to pillage.

FRANKFORT-ON-THE-MAINE, APRIL 19.
In to-day's sitting of the Federal Diet, Electoral
Hesse declared her readiness to conform to the re-
solutions taken by the Federal Diet on the 24th of

VIENNA, APRIL 20.

The Donau Zeitung says:—"We learn that the
Government has prohibited the circulation of the
Strassburger Correspondenten in Austria."

VIENNA, APRIL 19.

Archduke Albert retires provisionally from his
functions as Civil and Military Governor of Hungary,
and is replaced by General Benedek, who is com-
missioned to regulate the municipal laws, to reor-
ganize the comitats on the basis of the old institu-
tions, to submit his propositions for a central re-
pre entation (Diet) in Hungary, and to unite the
five administrative sections into one single adminis-
tration (Statthalterie) at Buda.
The Emperor has resolved to abolish the five
great subdivisions of Hungary, which have existed
since 1848, and to re-establish the comitats, which
will be called upon to make propositions destined
to bring about the assembling of a Diet, composed
according to ancient custom.
Orders have been given to settle immediately the
question of the communes.
The appointment of General Benedek will be
very popular in Hungary, and the Imperial decrees
will, it is hoped, be well received by the Hunga-

rians.

The rumours of Ministerial modifications are un-

founded.

Merode, of Belgium, as Minister of War, which
Ministry was provisionally directed by Cardinal
Antonelli.

the foreign representatives accredited to the Papal
Government, protesting against the incorporation
of the Legations with Piedmont. England having
no official representative at Rome. Cardinal An-
tonelli has sent a copy of the protest to Mr. Odo
Russell.

The Papal protest expresses a hope that the
Powers of Europe will not only refuse to recognise
the annexation of the Legations to Piedmont, but
that they will also co-operate to put an end to this
iniquitous spoliation.

CONSTANTINOPLE (via MARSEILLES),
APRIL 11.

The deputation from Servia has not been well
received. The Porte has resolved on resisting its
demands, and is about to concentrate 30,000 men at
Schumla. Baron Prokesch will shortly leave for
Vienna, to receive instructions upon this grave
affair. The ceiling out of the Rediffs is difficult,
the population, excited by foreigners, resisting
their departure. Disturbances had taken place in
the Greek and Catholic Churches, caused by an in-
vasior of Gendarmes. The Christians have pro-
tested against this breach of their privileges.
Austria has interfered as protrectress of the
