FR ANCE.

The Commission of Permanence met yesterday, and
sat for three hours. It was rumoured that they had
decided to convoke the Assembly for the sth, but no-
thing certain was known on the subject. After the
sitting the President of the Committee (M. Leon
Faucher) and the Secretaries had a❑ interview with
the Minister of thanterior.
The cholera bas broken oat in Algiers; 150 persons
have died of it in two days.
General Neumayer has declined the command
offered him at Rennes; should he persist in his refusal
he will be placed on the retired list.

GERMANY.

The Kolner Zeitung has a letter from Berlin of the
28th ult., stating that the invasion of Electoral Hesse
by the avarian and Austrian troops was originally
intended to come off on the 23d ultimo, and that the
Prussian armies took their positions according to this
contemplated measure. The invasion did not, how-
ever, take place, and whether it is only adjourned, or
whether it will come off at a later period, will depend
on the decisions now taking at Warsaw. The same
paper states from Dusseldorf and Coblentz that the
16th Regiment of Foot at the former place has received
direct orders to take the field, and that the younger
corps of the Landwehr have been summoned to take
their place in the army and assemble at Coblentz.
The Kolner Zeitung, of the 30th Mst, states, in its
second edition from Vienna of the 26th, that the offi-
cial news of the march of the two corps in the Tyrol
and Vorarlberg and the announcement that a part of
the Italian army is proceeding to Germany, added to
the military preparations now going on at Vienna and
in Austria Proper, have created a violent panic on the
Exchange. The price of silver has risen by f, and its
closing price was 21, while gold stood firm at 2S. The
only consolation which the Austrian stockholders
have is, that war is utterly impossible without a na-
tional bankruptcy, and therefore they disbelieve the
possibility of a war. " These men," adds the cor-
resporieht of the Kolner Zeitung, "forget the bank-
ruptcy Lbf 1811, and there is no reason why the same
event should not take place in our time. The first
cannon which Austria fires against Prussia is the
signal to a break down of her finances; it is bank-
ruptcy and the repudiation of her notes which must
sink down to the level of the notorious French As-
signets. Even the ,friendship of Russia cannot assist
Austria in her painful position. Russia can give
guns and bayonets, but no money. It is conse-
quently almost passing belief that a real war is in-
tended. Still this trifling with serious events is most
reckless and criminal. It proves that the re-establish-
mens of absolute power is the last and only idea
which pervades the rulers of Austria, and that even
credulity herself must now despair of the realization
of the Charter of the 4th March, 1849."
Advices from Cassel are of the 27th instant. Fifty-
two of the officers who have sent in their resignations
have received the Elector's permission to quit his
service. The rest are still retained.
The Kolner Zeitung states, from Frankfort of the
27th instant, that the Elector, terrified by the ap-
proaching Contingencies and the danger which might
result to him from an advance of the federal troops
into his territories, has entered a solemn protest
against the intervention of Bavaria. The Federal
Council, feeling that nothing but energetic measures
could help them in this dilemma, has dispatched
Count Rechberg as Civil Commissioner, with instrue-
tions for Prince Thurn and Taxis, the Commander
of the Bavarian army, to send his troops immediately
into Electoral Hesse, and to follow them with his staff.
The Prussian agents at Frankfort, on hearing this
news, immediately dispatched a messenger to Berlin
o ask for further instruction.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
The proposal made to the British Government by
Russia and France has caused a considerable sensa-
tion. A very emphatic article has appeared in the
Hamburgh Nachrichten representing the Duchies and
the whole German people as ready to back Prussia
to the utmost in any such event. The Commander
of the Prussian garrison, General Von Hahn, is re-
ported to have arrived at Kiel, where it is stated he
appeared in plain clothes.

NELSON SETTLEMENT,
NEW ZEALAND.
A meeting of the absentee proprietors of the Ne
son Settlement, New Zealand, convened by the corn
mittee of the same, was held at the New Zealand
house, onWednesday, at one o'clock, Mr. Burnard in
the chair.
The CHAIRMAN stated that as the New Zealand
Company had surrendered their charter to the
Government, and as the Government now stood in
the place of the direction, it was heltie desirable to
urge on them the claims of the absentee proprietors,
now entirely neglected. He proceeded to state gene-
rally that the resident proprietors enjoyed all the
advantages of the allotments of land in the colony—
that the company's chief and other agents were dis-
posing of the land in blocks of 6,000 acres, and that
the value of the allotments made to the absentees was
most materially lessened by the power of selection
given to the settlers on the spot. Cattle runs, of the
best description, had been given to individuals, to the
extent of 7,000 acres, at a nominal acknowledgment ;
and allotments made eight years since to the non-
resident proprietors were not now worth one-third of
their value at that period.
Letters were read to this effect from Mr. E. Tolle-
rnache, resident in the colony, and generally com-
plaining of theinjustice done to the original pur-
chasers- The writer advised no person to purchase
more land than he possibly could dispense with in the.
new Canterbury settlemeqt at 31. per acre, when it
could be got at Otago foe( lOs and at Wairee and
Rangatee for 55., of better quality. He considered
that, as there had been compensation given to resident
proprietors, it should also he given to absentee pro-
prietors ; and complained bitterly of the valueless
character of a large portion of the land allotted to
to him—viz., 7,400 acres, which represented a cost
price of 11,0001.
The CHAIRMAN said the resident proprietors would
have to depend upon themselves, not upon the New
Zealand Company ; for when application was made on
the score of compensation they were neither prepared
to admit the validity of the appeal, or to give the
claim any furtherance.
Mr. F. YOUNG said the non-resident proprietors
were left the skim-milk of the land, while the resi-
dent proprietors got the cream. He agreed with the
chairman as to the necessity of self-reliance on
the part of the committee, and then moved a
series of resolutions calling on the New Zealand
Company to aid them in obtaining compensation from
the Government, on the ground that it would be
injustice to the non-resident proprietors to withhold
it, when the resident proprietors were receiving it at
the hands or the agents and local arbitrators. The
resolutions substantially embodied the statements
made by the preceding speaker. The resolutions
recommended that, in the event of compensation
being refused, the non-residents should relinquish
their allotments, and claim the money which they had
advanced, with interest thereon.
Mr. WHITE, an original allottee of the section, con-
sidered himself peculiarly aggrieved by the preference
given to resident proprietors. If the sale had been
eneenleteel to him by the company in a reasonable
