PARMA.

The Parma Gazette of the 20th contains an official
article, which commences by stating that, by order
of the Duchess Regent, 52 chests, containing 1,248
muskets, ha I in 1854 been sent from the duchy to
the fortress of Mantua, besides 10 chests, containing
995 barrels. Moreover, 135 chests had been de-
posited at Brescello. The article then proceeds to
ca

the attention of the reader to a document, by
which the Duchess Regent, on the 28th of May
last, ordered the payment of about 200 f. as the cost
of conveying 67 chests of arms from Brescello to
Mantua. The writer of the article concludes there-
from that the neutrality of the Duchess either never
existed or was repeatedly brolzen.

The Duchess of Parma has caused a funeral ser-
vice to be performed at Rappenschwyl, on the oc
casion of Col. Anviti's murder.

dispatch from his government, demanding explana-
tions from our government of the course of Gene-
ral Harney in the San Juan affair, to which the
Secretary of State is now preparing a reply which
will vindicate fully our rights, and doubtless cover
the whole ground of the controversy to the satis-
faction of the American people. The whole matter
will be laid before the President on his return.
"A communication has been received from the
British Government, through Lord Lyons, request-
ing that their acknowledgments may be conveyed
