Just as I was about to close my letter I learnt
that information has been received officially from
Florence that Garibaldi has been arrested at Asiva-
lungs by order of the Italian Government, just as
he was about to enter the Pontifical territory.
An ordinance has been issued by the King of
Prussia dissolving the Chamber of Deputies. The
report of the Minister of State, which accompanies
this ordinance, mentions as the motive for this mea-
sure the extension of the territory of the State, and
the transformation of Germany, in consequence of
which the present Chamber can no longer represent
the entire people.

The Grand Duke, heir of Russia, has arrived a

711 E ARREST OF GARIBALDI.

Pales, Sept. 24 (Evening).
The Patrie of this evening says that a telegram
has been received from Florence, dated yesterday,
announcing that Garibaldi left Arezzo on Sunday
evening, and that his whereabouts was not known.
A telegram received this morning adds that he had
gone to the Papal frontier. Great excitement pre-
vailed in Florence. Orders had been sent to
different quarters to effect his arrest.
The same journal states that great animation
reigns at Toulon in consequence of the news from
Italy. Contradictory rumours are in circulation
there. According to some, there was a question of
sending a squadron of evolution to watch the Roman
coast, and the order for its departure would shortly
be sent to Ajaccio, where Admiral Gueydon is sta-
tioned.

The Minister )f War was shortly expected to
arrive at Toulon, and every arrangement had been
made for embarking troops if necessary.
The Patrie adds that it is impossible for it either
to affirm Or deny these statements, but it is certain
that several ships are ready to sail, and that the
transport Intrepide has received orders to arm
immediately. _

FLORENCE, Sept. 24.

Garibaldi was arrested yesterday evening at
Sinalunga, near Sienna, by order of the Italian
Government. He was conveyed by special train to
Florence, and from there to Alessandria.
At the time of his arrest he was preparing to
enter the Papal territory.

Evening.

This evening's Official Gazelle says :--
" The agitation by which it has been sought to
impel the country to violate international stipula-
tions, far from calming down, has become stronger
and more audacious. After a frank and decisive
declaration, the Ministry resolved to fulfil its duty
and keep its pledged word. The Ministry had con-
vinced itself of the fac:, that during the last few days
a large number of volunteers had taken the road to
the frontier, where depots of arms had been made,
and whither other arms accompanied or followed
them. From Florence and Arezzo General Gari-
baldi took the direction of the same frontier by way
of Sinalunga. Tho object of this movement was
thenceforth only too evident. Action had really
commenced, and therefore there arose for the Go-
vernment the unavoidable necessity either of allow-
ing that treaties should be broken, in violation of
the public faith, the authority of the law, and the
interests of the nation, or of keeping its word, and

THE LATE EMPEROR MAXIMILIAN'S PROPERTY.—
"We learn from Vienna," says the Avenir
National, "that the settlement of the Emperor Maximilian's
succession offers very great difficulties. The delegate of
the Austrian Emperor, M. do Kraus, and of the King of
the Belgians, M. Teach, have not been able to come to
terms, and the latter has quitted Vienna without having
succeeded in establishing the basis a•f an arrangement. A suit
between two Sovereign, families seems inevitable. The
principal question seems to be whether the Arch• Duchess
Charlotte,widow of the deceased, or the Arch-Duke Charles,
his uncle, shall be recognised as residuary legatee. In re-
ference to the same subject, the Frerndenblatt of Vienna
gives the following details of the last disposition of the Em-
peror Maximilian :—" His Majesty left two wills. The first
was executed at Miramar shortly before his departure for
Mexico, and was written and signed with his own hand.
The Empress Charlotte was constituted residuary legatee,
souvenirs being left to nearly all the members of the Im-
perial family. All the gifts which the Emperor received in
his childhood are left by this testament to those who had
formerly presented them. The Emperor speaks with touch-
ing gratitude of his mother and the happy influence which
she exercised in the formation of his heart and character.
His wife is also, on his part, the object of tender remem-
brances. The second testament was drawn up at Quere-
taro, not long before the Emperor's execution ; like the
former, it is in his own handwriting. This act was drawn
up under the supposition that the Empress Charlotte had
died in Europe, and the Archduke Charles was named re-
siduary legatee. The other dispositions are not modified
in any f, rm."

COMPULSORY EDUCATION.—At the annual meet-
ng held at Edinburgh, on Saturday, of the Educa-

tional Institution cf —Scotland (a body composed of
teachers of all classes), it was unanimously resolved to
approve au overture from the local association of Kirk-
caldy, and to transmit a petition to Parliament in term-4

thereof, praying the Legislative body in its wisdom to
devise measures to secure, by making education compul-
sory if necessary, that every child iu these realms should
be educated. The suggestions of Mr. Alison, Kirkcaldy,
who brought up the subject, were the following : —" That
a duly-certified extract of the birth of a child should bo the
evidence of ago; that all children of five years should be
registered; that duo publication of all the children at-
tending school should be made ; that 300 attendances
should be the minimum of a school year; that a fine equal
to the school fee should b 3 imposed on parents neglecting
to send their children ; that continued neglect for three
years should bring into play the power of the sheriff's
compulsion ; and that certificates should be granted to
such as carried out the higher branches of education by a
prolonged attendance,"

her intended journey to Madrid.
The Moniteur of this morning does not contain a
line of interesting news.
Rather a serious accident has taken place upon
the Paris and Viicennes Railway, between St.
Maude and Bel Air One of the trains got off the
line, and a passenger, M. llerbeck, was so mutilated
that he died soon after being taken to the hospita 1
Several other passengers received injuries, but there
is only one case of a serious character. An acci-
dent has also occsrred upon the Orleans Railway
in consequence of an iron bridge near the Ivry
station having given way. Three of the company's
servants were mum injured. It was not a passenger
train. The accidait happened to the tender.
According to the Correspondence de Berlin the
union of the south with the north of Germany is now
only a question of time and form. It is the
question of fora With which for the moment
Germany is nos fully occupied. It was said
a short time ago that at Berlin there was no desire
to see the Southern States enter too quickly into
the Confederation of the North, because there was
a fear of their too liberal spirit. If such fears
really did exist they must now be dispelled, for the
journal quoted pr)mises all sorts of guarantees " for
their automony, of which they are very justly
jealous, but which they have reason to think is not
irreconcilable with the political unity of Germany."
They have only to present to the Confederation
their postive demand of accession, and the demand
once received every effort will be made to solve the
problem submitted in a manner calculated to please
everybody.
