The Augsburg Gazette states that the cabinet of Vienna
had given in its adhesion to the marriage of Prince Ferdi-
nand of Saxe Coburg with the Queen of Spain, and that
the object of Queen Victoria's visit to Fu was to obtain
the consent of King Louis Philippe.

TRIBUTE TO THE WORTHY.—The King of Prussia
has commanded the houses of Luther and Melancthon to
be purchased and converted into schools. He has like-

wise ordered the doors of I uther's dwelling, which the
French had in in a great measure destroyed, to be restored.
They will be formed of metal, and richly embellished.

POTATOES ON THE CONTINENT —The Colrgne Ga-
sette states that the potatoe malady has broken out in
nearly all the cantons in Switze.rland. The Prussi n mi-
nister at Cebkritz has given pnmission to exp.)rt the po-
tatoes which are already on board the vessels of the
Rhine. After the 3d of Oct., however, no further exports

were to be allowed

NEW ZEALAND.—The accounts from this quarter to
the 3d of May state that another collision had taken
place at the Bay of Islands between the natives and the
troops, in which fifty of the latter (?) are reporter! to have
been killed ; but Pomare, one cf the most mischievous of
the chiefs, bad been captured, and was confined on board
the Hazard, his entrenchments having been destroyed.
The Paris papers announce three more elections for
Deputies, in the room of those raised to the Peerage, at
all of which the ministerial candidates were at the head of
the list. In general the candidates supported by the Left
have been far below their Conservative opponents. and
even at Colmar, a town which strongly supports Radical
principles, Conservative candidates only came forward.
The Legitimati,ts everywhere cut a poor figure.
Letters from Tahiti state, that the French Governor,
Bruat, had sent a steamer to Queen Pomare, to induce
her to return to Tahiti; but she refuses positively to speak
to, or even to see, any Frenchman, unless Governor Bruat
will re-hoist h r personal flag, which he had hauled down ;
and this he refuses to do. if a French soldier passes near
her she hides her face in her hands, in order that she may
not see him. She has thus far restrained the natives from
attacking the French, for the svke of peace ; but a rebel-
lion among them against the French authorities was daily
expected. The native army is 8,000 strong.

THE RIVER PLATE.—Direct accounts from Buenos
Ayres under date 27th July, arrived in the Channel con-
vict our brethren of the United States of grossly esagger-
stifle the intelligence received in Hampton Roads from
the River Plate. The real position of the affairs was this.
Rosas, allowed until the 31st of July to agree to or reject
the ultimatum of the British and French Ministers, had
not replied ; but, meanwhile, notice had been given to the
Argentine squadron and to the troops ;under Oribe before
Monte Video, that that city was under the protection of
the allied powers, and that any act of hostility would be
considered as directed against them. Opinions varied as
to the decision Rosas would adopt ; but, though the scale
inclined to a favourable view of the point, measures had
been adopted to secure the safety of the British residents
in the city. Tidings decisive of the question may he ex-
pected shortly.
THE WEST INDIA MAIL.—The royal mail steam-shin
Clyde arrived at Southampton on Sunday morning, with
the usual mails from Mexico and the West Indies. The
Vera Cruz advice,. received, reaching to the Ist Septem-
ber, do not differ from those brought by the Great West-
ern. The French Minister bad broken off diplomatic
communication with the government, demanded his pass-
ports, and placed his alationel under the care of the Span-
ish minister; no declaration of war had been issued
against the nited Slates ; the credit of the Treasury was
at a low ebb ; the army of the north was in a state of ab-
solute destitution, and Paredes if not in open revolt, at
least acted independently of the central government; Up-
per California h.d petitioned in favour of federation ;
whilst the people displayed the greatest apathy in public
affairs. The weather throughout the West India islands,
though unusually hot, was healthy. and there was little
fever.

BUENOS AYRES.—We learn from a private letter from
Buenos Ayres, dated the 26 h July, that Mr. Gore
Ouseley and the French minister were still at Buenos
Ayree, and would remain until the 31st to receive the
final answer of Rosas to their ultimatum. In tie mean-
time, notice had been given to the commander M. the Bue-
nos Ayrean squadron off Monte Video, that he would not
be permitted to move ; but the ships had not been seized.
as stated by former ad vices. Notice had also been given
to General Oribe, who commands the army besieging
Monte Video, that the town was under the protection of
the English and French governments; and that any at-
tack upon it would be considered as an act of hostility
against them. lip to the 26th July, Rosas was ap-
parently firm in his determination to refuse compliance
with the demands made upon him ; but the writer of the
letter, a gentleman of great sagacity and w th good sour-
ces of information, says, " Many circumstances, trifling
in themselves, ihduce me to think that Rosati will not
come to extremities, which must involve both himself and
this country in ilastruction."—Manchester Paper.
