 Hamburg, .aop. 3O.--To-day's liquidation went of quietly. Higher prices from Vienna helped to support tic market, though little rcai business was done. The decline of the French funds produced no effect here.

The tree of liberty has been plantedin most Of she parishes, and tile people demand the Constitution of I580, with reform. The people hearing that tIe government of Arau had applied to Bcrne for assistance, has tened their rising. At Lucerne il is expected Ia revolution will be accomplished without re- |sstance. The petitioners demanded an equal for all parts of the Canton, and the government is convinced of the necessity of |aeeedngg to the wishes of tlie people. 4 I;rine, troops are ready 10 march against the people of Arau. It is said, however, that the people of EInnacntilai have resolved 10 enforce their pcti- tions, which have long been neglected, in a pow- erfu body. At Solcure the agitation is at its height. The people of this Canton do not for get the revolution of 1874, and they are rcsoly. led to be free, whatever may be the cost. At Fribourg there is dread of instruction.

He said that the waFlike reports spread for inc last few days, in consequence of the great armaments prepar- 5 ing by some Powers, were without foundation. He had every hope that peace would be main. tained, inasmueh as the Cabinets gave the French Government repeated and ,'Isitiye I;.s- |snrances of their desire to preserve it.
