shrink from no danger, not desert me, and Germany
will join me with confidence. I have this day adopted the
ancient German national colours, and have placed myself
and my people under the resuscitated banner of the Ger-
man-empire. From this day forth the name of Prussia is
fused r.nd• dissolved into that of Germany. The Diet,
whith has alreadyheen convoked for the 2d of April, in
conjunction with my people, presents the ready medium
and -legal organ for the deliverance and pacification of
Germany.
On the 21st, the King appeared on horseback in Palace
Court. He wore the German colours on his arms, and he
was surrounded by the princes and ministers, also wearing
the German colours. He was received with great joy by
the people on his appearance, and spoke as follows to the
assembled crowd:— _ _

"It is no usurpation on my part to feel that I am called
to save German freedom and unity. I swear that itis not
my intention to dethrone any German prince ; but I wish
to ensure the freedom and unity of Germany, which must
be guarded by German faith, and the establishment of a
constitution, popular, German, and constitutional.
At another part of the day, while addressing the people,
some one cried out—" Long live the Emperor of Ger-
many !" " Not so, (replied the king,) I desire no such
power. I merely place myself at the head of the entire
people, to ensure for Germany freedom, unity, and order."
•The Prince of Prussia has been forced to leave Berlin.
The people have openly demanded that he should resign
all claim to the throne.

EXPULSION OF THE JESUITS FROM NAPLES
NAPLES,_MARCH._I4.

For some days past well dressed mobs Shave collected
before the Jesuits' College, hooting, hissing, and
threatening to burn the building down. On Friday last
a sort of deputation from the concourse bad an interview
with the director of the community, and declared that
its leaving was essential to the peace of the city. After
much reluctance the director promised to do so on the
next morning. From this time the Ist battalion of.
National Guards took possession of the college, an in-
ventory was made of everything, and every portion of the
building searched.
The next morning I went up to see the finale : an im-
mense crowd had assembled in front of the college, as
also in the streets. The national guard were stationed
in the interior, on the roof, and the outside, where they
were strengthened by a regiment of ,Swiss. Every now
and then a person addressed the mob, amidst vivas and
expressions of disgust ; nor was. there less interest mani-
fested by the well-dressed persons who thronged the win-
dows of the. Toledo and the Largo di Carita. At four
o'clock p.m. the long-expected moment arrived : fifteen
carriages issued from the gates of the college, bearing in
them the holy fathers. On the box of each carriage was
a national guard. Two more on horseback rode on each
side, and round each carriage was a hedge of bayonets.
Behind followed a battalion of the national guard, a
regiment of Swiss, and a squadron of cavalry. The peo-
ple at this moment observed the most perfect silence.
The last carriage was open,.and there, amongst others of
the padri, sat one, with a countenance that indicated
deep grief and anguish. It was a picture well calculated
to produce a deep impression. The procession descended
by Monte Olive to the Fontana Medina, until they at
length arrived at the Mola, where the steamer Vesuvio
was in waiting for them. The crowd here was most
dense and on the steamer leaving the land there was one
general: shout of joy.

On the 16th the Duchess of Orleans was still at Ems
with her two children.

The mercantile marine of Austria now numbers
vessels, measuring 257,000 tons, including 131 steamers
In Hanover the censorship of the press has been volun-
tarily abolished by the king. The attempted emeute was
a complete failure.
The Turkish sultan has ordered a superb matzgal or
vessel for containing a charcoal fire, to be made at the
Constantinople mint, as a present to Queen Victoria.
A letter from St. Petersburgh announces the approach-
ing departure of the Emperor Nicholas for Berlin, and of
the Empress for the island of Madeira, where she has
been ordered by her physicians to pass sometime.
An extraordinary supplement, or " flving-sheet," of
La Lega Italiana of Saturday last (the 18th inst.,) has
been received, which contains a formal 'proclamation of
the new Roman Fundamental Constitution by His Holi-
ness Pope Pius IX.
The Princes Joinville and d'Anmale arrived on the I2th
at Lisbon, when an interesting meeting took place bet Ween
the Queen of Portugal and the Princess de Joinville,!her
sister' after an interval of twenty-five years, or, at lenst,
since both were children. They received the greatest at-
tention while in Lisbon.

THE ORLEANS PROPERTY IN FRANCE.—A recent sta-
tistical work on France states that the bulk of the pro-
perty of Louis Philippe was in forests, and as Duke of
Orleans, his income thence was at least £300,000 a-year.
The crown estates he possessed as king were also princi-
pally in woods, yielding him £250,000 more.
M. Guizot, the ex-French minister, has been seven
times in office. In 1830 and 1837, in co-operation with
Count Mole ; in the four administrations of 1832, April
1834, November 1834 and 1835, in co-operation with
Thiers ; and lastly, in the ministry of December 1840 and
1843, in opposition to both Count Mole and M. Thiers.
BAVARIA.—On Friday, news arrived from Paris, stating
that the French-Government had received a telegraphic
despatch announcing that the King of Bavaria had abdi-
cated ; no dates or other particulars were given, the tele-
graph baying been interrupted by bad weather. .Sub-
sequent advices state that he had retired in favour of his
son Maximilian, who had issued a proclamation. Lola
Montes was therefore right, and the late king wishes
probably to regain his " ladye faire."
THE OVERLAND MAIL.—The intelligence brought by
the overland mails of the 15th of February is not of great
importance. India was quiet and in general healthy.
An attempt at insurrection had been made at Shompore,
which had, however, been suppressed. A quantity of
treasure, amounting to £250,000, was found buried in a
house once the property of Lall Singh ; half of the money
has' been handed into the British Treasury in payment of
the Sheik liabilities.

HANOVER, March 19.—His Majesty has this day sent
an official notification to the Burgher Guard that he had
dismissed Privy Councillor Falke from his post in the
Cabinet. Had not his majesty taken this step, it would
assuredly have been demanded. The burghers have com-
pletely maintained the peace of the city to-day. The
King has conceded all the demands of his people, and
been obliged to submit to the necessity of calling to the
Ministry M. Stiibe, the Liberal Deputy of Osnabriick.
who, for refusing to abet his Majesty in certain measures
which he adopted on his accession, was prosecuted and
imprisoned for several years. On the 21st everything was
going on as before, and the people were content with
what they had got.
Dispatches from Milan, to the 18th, have fully confirmed
the reports of an insurrection at Milan. A very sharp
combat had taken place between the peopl6 and the
Austrian troops. Much blood had been shed. *, At two
o'clock on that day the insurrection had gained the
advantage, The Viceroy, the Archduke Regnier, had
taken to flight, but had been seized by the people at
Brescia. The Austrian Authorities capitulated on the
sole condition of being allowed an unmolested retreat for
all the Austrian troops out of the Lombardo-Venetian
territory. The tri-colour flag has been hoistedthroughout
the whole of northern Italy.
REVOLUTION IN CRACOW.—CRACOW, March 17.—The
Silesia Gazette says :—" Our political prisoners are free.
About nine this morning, nearly 100,000 Polish citizens
assembled after learning the news from Vienna. They
were joined by many of the native population, and re-
paired to the residence of Count Deym, demanding the
liberation of the prisoners. Count Deym begged for de-
lay till he should get special orders from Vienna. This
would not do, and the Count was obliged to drive, with
Marshal Castiglion, to the prison, and effect their desires.
The people also asked the removal of the customs lines
and guard, the arming of the people, and of the burgher

AMERICA AND CANADA.—The mail steam-ship Bri-
tannia, Captain Lott, arrived on Saturday with advices:for
New York to the 10th, and Halifax to 13thinstant. The
political information from America is quite unimportant.
The advices from Canada are however of consequence.
The Governor-General delivered his speech on the 28th
ult., and in the discussion on the speech an amendment
to the effect that they did not repose any confidence in
his Excellency's administration; was carried by a majority
of 54 to 20. The Indian inhabitants of Yucatan were in
successful revolt against the whites. They were commit-
ting horrible massacres and devasatting whole villages,
sparing neither age nor sex.
SOUTHERN GERMANY.—The peasant riots iu Wurtem-
berg and Baden, have taken a peaceable turn, owing- to
thejudicious co-operation of the feudal lords, the govern-
ment, and the people. The Prince of Hohenlohe-
Hechingen, who was reported to have fled, was quietly
residing in that town. The reports of the castles burnt
by the peasants, were found to have been greatly exag-
gerated. The town of Constance was quiet, united with
the rest of Germany against a Republic, but demanding
with their brethren the United Fatherland. The princi-
ple of the National Parliament has been acknowledged by
the Committee of the Diet at Frankford by a great majo-
rity, and the chief points of the national project are agreed
to.
CHINA.—The Journal des Debals says, that it has re-
ceived their papers and correspondence from China up to
the 29th of January, which is one month later than those
previously received in London, namely, to the 30th of
December. No event of the least political importance
had occurred since the departure of the last courier. The
negotiations between the Viceroy and the Governor of
Hong Kong were still being carried on, the correspondence
up to that time not having produced any satisfactory re-
sult. ;Sir John Davis bad, in an official proclamation.
even announced to his countrymen that, having referred
to the British government the question whether or not he
should proceed to active measures for ensuring the punish-
ment of the murderers who committed the assassinations
at Houng-chu.ki, he thought that it was absolutely neces-
sary to warn them, in the meantime, to be prepared to
quit Canton at a moment's notice.
UNITED STATES AND MEXICO.—The intelligence re-
ceived from the United States by the Ivanhoe, is chiefly
of importance, as it refers to the proceedings of the Senate,
with regard to the Mexican treaty. As the proceedings
of that house in their executive capacity are held in secret
sittings, their ultimate decision was still uncertain, so
that the view taken out of doors must be founded upon
mere conjecture. The current report, however, was that
a majority of the members, including the whole of the
Whig party, would object to some parts of the treaty in
the form in which it had been agreed upon, but as they
are known to have been, and still are, decided opponents
to the aggressive war on Mexico, it may be taken for
granted that their objections will only be made for the
purpose of enforcing a settlement in a more just and effi-
cient manner, This view of the case is even admitted as
probable by the American papers that have been the most
furious advocates for centiewng taLltilitie.s ter the cntin
