FRANCE.

.4' The Constitutionnel says—" The Governtment has
- -received news from La Plata, up to the Bth August,
by the brig the Alcibiade, which has arrived at
-Brest. We are assured that the Government of
Bu,-.3nos Ayres has adhered to the more important of
the modifications which it was desired to introduce
in the treaty of Admiral Le Predour, and that this
long dispute at last approaches to a satisfactory con-
clusion.'
The Archbishop of Turin arrived at Grenoble on
the 2d, on his way to Lyons. The intention of the
Archbishop appears to be to fix his residence, pro
tempore, in this last named city.

GERMANY.
The Independance of Brussels of the 7th furnishes
us with the following details of the recent occurrences

in H,,!sse Cassel :

" the news from Hesse presents more and more inte-
rest. The most unxexpected changes take place, and it
is impossible to admire tco much the calm of the people,
who, confining themselves strictly within the bounds of
legulity, oppose to arbitrary rule a resistance in which
all classes unite. Ths army has in its turn pronounced
against M. Hessenpflug. The news sent on the 4th to
the Gazette de Cologne were not such as to cause this
result to he antic:pa•ed. On that day a grand review
took place, during which General Haynau had declared
the National Guard to be dissolved. He had caused
the editor of the New Hesse Gazette to be arrested;
had ordered councils of war to immediately com-

mence proceedings; caused the members of the per-
manent Committee to be shut up in the place of
tha s'ats, where they had assembled, and had one of
them thrown into prison. Our letters from Frankfort,
of the sth, further state that the National Guard, when
declared dissolved, refused to deliver up their arms.
Geneial Llaynau ordered the troops to proceed to dis-
arming them; but the officers declared to him in their
turn that they would not execute his orders. The coun-
cils of war met, but not a single auditor could be found
to commence the proceedings; on the contrary, the
auditor-general proposed to have General Haynau im-
peachedfor excess of power, and this proposition was
voted. Thus abandoned by his troop, General Haynau
could only pledge himself not to exercise his command
'or undertake anything until• the return of an officer sent
by his comrades to the seat of Government, at Wil-
belaiihad, to represent to the Elector the unconstitutional
chflract,r of the measures ordered by the General."
The German Journal of Frankfort of the 6th says

At Casse!, on the 4th, there was a grand review
in Frederick-square, but no one went to it. General
Haynau, addressing the officers, said—' Gentlemen,
let those among you who would rather protect the
criminal scum of the constitutional party than the
rights of the Elector, leave the ranks, lay aside his uni-
form, and put on a blouse.' The officers were so indig-
nant that it was respect for discipline alone which
prevented them from protesting. When the General
passed along the ranks, the troops only faintly cried
• "the three hurrahs required by the regulations ; the
artillery kept silence. ^ The measures for crushing the
press are taken, but no one has been found to execute
• them. The new commander of the town, General
ts.EretlEtntli:wilo ia_believed .to be animated with con-
stitutional sentiments, has; it is iertised,:

director, and 30 rixdollars for each member. Itti.cpe
of refusal the fines are to be increased. But the
authorities do not care for such measures as these, as
•
there is no one to get in the fines."
' A letter from Munich, of the 3d, states that aH
number of young peasants of Straubing, headed by
• the•son of the Mayor, had insulted the clergy in the
grossest manner, - had broken open the doors of the
• Sisters of th 6 Schools, and committed other excesses.
The Swabian Mercury gives the following as the
inawuration speech of the newly-elected President of
the Wirtemberg Chamber, Schoder t--
" G ntleinen, I accept with gratitude the mark of con=
• fid.-nee you have given me on cabin.-' on me to direct the
lab-.ors of this third Assembly. Be kind enough to
grant me your indaleence: In the midst of difficult'
circumstances, and surrounded with clouds, the repre-
sentatives c:m3tnence their labours, after the people
have fur the third time expressed their will. However
different public opinion may be as to the best form of
constitution, the law of let July, 1849, gives to the Go-
vernment acd to the National As&emb!y the true point
of sat prat, before which individual opinions must in-
cline. If the Government and the Assembly keep them-
selves to this sure guide, and if, in short, a path be
adopted for the affairs of Germany of a nature to satisfy
the wants of the people and its well-founded preten-
sions' we may expect the end which the people so sr-
. dentl'y desire. Yes, gentlemen, the people wish for
peac,., we all wish for it, but it must be peace founded
on just:c?.'"
A decree of the Grand Duke was published at

DArmstadt on the .sth, fixing punishments for se-
ditious writings and other publications. The decree
states that this is done to protect society against the
licentiousness of the press.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
The attack on Friederichstadt commenced on the

, 4th, at.half-past five in the afternoon, and the storm-
ing party advanced in three columns, one by the
chitiiv.see that crosses the marshy level from the town
to Seeth, a second along the Treene-dyke, and the
third by the Eyder-dyCe. It was the battalion (the
6th) which tifok the last-named road that met the
severest I;ss. Oa all three points the attack failed.
The D -MOS, who, daring the previous days, had replied
to the Holstein cannonade very slackly, and as if
they were short of ammunition, opened against the
atormiug col-umns, on the whole line of defence, such
a murdetolis fire or cannon and musketry thatno-

.the column formed.of the
6th Battalion} though it .continued to advance with
great bravery, was thrown into confusion arid driven
back w#l.l till:Dense loss. A second attack, made by

the I,lth Battalion, was attended by the same result,
its ammunition wagon was blown up by a shell,
—Ora the eoltunnisca.ttered and driven in ; the battalion

.it could not, as the
storl. ing-bpdge over a wide ditch cutting the
chaussie from The Blockhouse broke in and could not
be reconstructed. By the, breaking of this bridge

half a company were diowned en masse. The 11Ol-
• stein artillery kept up.a cannonade on the town dur-
ing the whole attack and after the repulse, but' with
no result sav4 that of setting the town on fire on
seveiaLlioitits. At Midnight the cannonade ceased,
and the troom, tack up the same positions they had
helVor the last five days.
,The cjhamber of the. Duchy held a sitting on' the
stb;-and in. consequence of this fresh disaster the fol..

lowing resolutions were agreed to:—
" 1. The Staahalterschaft is'authorized- to increase the.
'-alnunaber of the army. abo-veits'present force, and to ob-
tain that increase as rapidly as 'possible. '
't2. A sum-of 3,292;687-marks is placed at its disposal
to defray the cost of the abo;ie increase.
" 3. The sum required by the War Department for the
. .

second half yf the year 1554, amounting exclusive of the

. above-statect sum) to 11,261,890. marks, is voted; this
a- amount is entirely at the discretionary digrusal of the
department of war.
"4. That the aum of 1,250,000 marks be issued in

notgs of 2i marks (one thaler premium) each.
".s...—Thal, to cover the increased expenditure voted, a

f orced loan belevied on both property and income, au-
, .cording to tbe terms of the law already existing, of one
'per cent. The Government is empowered to levy an ad-
ditional half per cent. if the amount realized is not auf-
ficient for the purpose. The loan bears 4i per cent.
interest. Income abd property below a fixed amount
are exempted from the contribution.".
It was also determined to issue the following ad..
dress :

" THE SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN DIET TO THE GERMAN
PEOPLE.
" Gerrnan.Brotherst—The moment in which .we ad-
dress ourselves to you is one of great and unparalleled
importance. Our future must be decided by the sword.
We are threatened in our rights, our freedom, and in
our nationality, ail which is held to be high and holy
among nations.
" Almost one-half our country is now occupied by the
enemy. Scandalous contempt is exercised against:all•
taws. rights, and customs ; the sons of our country are
forced into the ranks of the enemy; the most insupport-
,• able oppression is carried on against a population whose
s:-only crime consists in remaining firm to their ancient
• -rights, and in not submitting to Danish usurpation.
The powerful Cabinets of Europe are united with Den-
mark in order to deprive us of our good right, and to
- _ deliver ester gehleswig-Holstein to a foreign and hostile
- nation for ever.
" Those who know our case are aware that our
struggle has no other object than the defence against the
most unjust attacks. No means has' been left untried
to obtain peace, and to•prevent a war with its attendant
'Miseries. Nothing has been lett to us but a choice be-
tween an unconditional surrender to a foreign yoke or a
_ struggle to the utmost to avoid it. This choice could
not be dubious. The Government and the people deter-
mtned upon the latter course; and, as our Stadtholders
a are resolv'ed to continue the war, unmindful of the pro-
_liecels of fereigp. rowers, in order to obtain an honourable
peace, so we, as the representatives of the Schleswig-
; - Holstein people, intend to support them with all-
- the means at our command. We have for this
purpose decided upon laying new and heavy burdens
.on. the country to raise the power of defence to the
I -jhighest possible pcinf., -We have decided upon this in
the firm assurance that cur gallant people will stand by
• - theii'repre;entaiive., and that such s people will submit
to great sscrificiA in a great cause. We may also be
assured that our bard-oppressed 'br,,thren in Schleswig
" lintain the same glorious
.and honourable perse-
iierenee. heretof"irc in enduring the hardships they are
C., suffer, until the day arrives when we shall be
to liberate thcm.
• " Our brave army awaits that day with impatience.
-We 4,143 pr2teful that even in misfortune the spirit which
oitteimates them has not been broken, but that they have
--borne the hardship of war with cheerfulness and
--courage. The army will answer the expectation of the
country.
German brethren !—Such is the state of things.at the
present moment. Yon have not deserted us at a time
when other aid was withdrawn from us: We return
''`boa ear thanks for this in the name of the country—for
e•LiallietLhaysealene lor ids during this period, for siding
us with men, money; 'and other RUM' '
