MM. UCIITTIITZ !thri -I:,,Aumha are spoken of as 2VI .
!doers of Public Worship.
It is said that a portion of the laadwher are to be
,iisrnissed to their homes.
The Free Confere:xes will be opened at Dresden
4 bout the middle of the month.
There is no truth in the rumours of a renewe,;
collision between the Prussian and Bavarian troops in
Hesse, as the latter advance the former retreat. The
Bavarians were to enter Cassel on the sth. The re-
cruiting in Austria still continued, but the arming in
Wurtemburg was suspended.

SWITZERLAND.
A letter from Berne of the 3i says:—" The Bill
relating to mixed marriages has just been vote.
in the National Council. According to the
measure, as originally presented, the children
were always to follow the religion of the father ;
but by the 13111 as amended, and now adopted, ttl
father is to decide in which religion the child is to
be brought up. The law in its amended form is to
be shortly promulgated."

TURKEY.
A letter from Constantinople of the 20:h ult.
says : —"Dr. Spitzl, an Austrian physician, who for
the last six or seven years has filled the office of
medical adviser to the Sultan, has just been sent away
from the palace, with orders at once to quit Con-
.stantinuple. He took his departure on Saturday by
the Trieste s•eamer. The cause of this sudden dis=
missal is not known."

RUSSIA AND CIRCASSIA.
The Journal de St Petersburgh of the 24th ult.
contains the following :—" The Emperor has received
from the Commandant-in Chief of the Army of Cau-
casus the following report, dated from the fort of
Atchhhoi, the 27th October. Yesterday we were in
march to arrive at this place, with an escort com-
posed of a detachment of the regiment of chasseurs
bearing my name, a body of Cossacks, the native
militia, and a number of the Tchetchenes who had
submitted accompanied us. The hereditary Grand
Duke was, as usual, with the advanced guard. Be-
tween Reschnia and Waleryk, his Imperial Highness
remarked a party of the enemy coming from the
Black Mountain•, and directing their course across
the chain of our videttes. The Grand Duke dashed
forward to meet them with a part of the cavalry and
the native troops, and approached them so closely
that he was fired at by some of the Tchetchenes,
who immediately galloped off. They were, however,
pursued by the cavalry of the advanced guard, whilst
another detachment made a movement to cut off their
retreat. The chief of the enemy's party was killed
close to the Grand Duke. He is said to be the standard
bearer of the Naib Sadaulla, and his arms were
presented as trophies to his Imperial Highness. I
confess I did not witness without alarm the rapidity
and boldness with which the Grand Duke dashed for-
ward towards the enemy, and the more so, as, being
mounted on an excellent horse, he outstripped all the
rest of the detachment. This perfectly unforeseen
incident signalised the termination of the visit of his
Imperial Highness to the Caucasus. I dare hope,
Sire, that the impression produced by this brilliant
action of your august son will be agreeable to you,
and that your Majesty will deign to gratify all the
army of the Caucasus by decorating the valiant breast
of the Grand Duke with the insignia of the brave.
This favour will be just. I entreat your Majesty to
grant me this request. The cross of St. George of
the Fourth Class, a worthy recompense of the valour
of the Hereditary Grand Duke, will be considered
by all the troops as the most valuable reward granted
to the army of the Caucasus. The Emperor, in ac-
cordance with the proposition of the commandant of
the army of the Caucasus, has sent to the Hereditary
Grand Duke the Cross of St. George of the Fourth
Class, which Colonel Patkull, his aide-de-camp, was
charged to deliver to him."
