TURIN, Oct. 13.—8 y a notification, signed by
Cavallo- e do Winderkh ere, Commandant of the
Modenese Dragoons, and dated Carrara, Oct. 6,
1857, Martial law hai been once more proclaimed
in the city and cominnne of Carrara, of the cause
of which the M essaggiere di Modena of the 9th
instant gives fife following'account. According to
that journal, the Duke of Modena had raised
the state of siege in the Carrara district last
December because be thought that the punish-
ment inflicted on not a few disturbers of public
order had been sufficient to repress the wide
city of those wicked people who infest the
city and commune of Carrara, but the con-
fidence, cherished by this most clement Prince
had been far from realised, for after a few months
assaultA, wounds, and murders were not only recom-
menced, but had been so frequently perpetrated as
to give good cause for alarm to the peaceable inha-
bitants and to induce the Government, however
unwillingly, to provide anew, by exceptional mea-
sures, against this rising evil.
Things had arrived at this state on the occasion
of the departure of a great part of the garrison of
Carrara for the autumnal manoeuvres at Reggio,
when some evil-disposed persons summonedeourage
enough to insult some soldiers in the theatre on the
evening of the 27th of the last month, and at the
same time to express their contempt for the whole
honourable class of which they formed a part.
These provocations excited a confusion, in which a
soldier and several civilians were slightly w )unded,
but the fact was not devoid of an appearance of pre-
meditation, since ono of those arrested throw away
a dagger with which he WAS armed when taken
prisoner bythepolice. The moderation of the troops
in this instance was probably mistaken for weakness,
for in the afternoon of the next thy (the 28th) a
fresh dead of extraordinary atrocity was committed.
Three individuals belonging to the reserve of the
army, that is to say—Serjeant Ribolini and privates
Zeni and Rocchi—were on the high road of Greg-
nem, near Carrara, and not far from their own
houses, quiet and unarmed, when they were sud-
denly attacked with stones and daggers by seven
young men known to belong to the city or neigh-
bourhood. The two first named were killed out-
right, but Roechi survived two days, and identi
fled one of the assassins, who had been arrested
by the police. Five others of the gang have since
been captured by the Sardinian police, and their
extradition demanded by the Modonese Govern-
ment, in virtue of existing conventions, and the
seventh, although well known, is still at large.

" It is asserted," says the Ind,ependance, " that
several of the petty German States, though au-
thorising their subjects to demand the medal of St.
Helena, make objections to its being worn.

Tho German Frankfort Journal states from
Berlin (14th) that the Russian circular relating to
the interviews of Stuttgard and Weimar is the sane
in spirit as that of Count Walewski, and that the
interviews have had no other signification than
that of guarantees for the maintenance of peace.

The Madrid journals of the 13ih have reached us.
Admiral Armero had arrived, and was to be re-
ceived by the Queen, on her return from the
theatre, at one -o'clock at night. General Roe de
(Nano, M. Bermudez de- Castro, General de la
Concha, and General Serrano were spoken of as
likely t- be his colleagues ill the forniation of a
ministry.
