HANOVER.
The Germanic Diet, TO which the llano-
verians had appealed against the unconstitu.
tional proceedings of the King, had decided
in his favor by majority OF one. That ls,
the Diet had decided not tn interfere, on the
ground that the matter in dispute is not one
affecting the interests or the rights OF the
confederacy. The king had thereupon an
nounced the formation Of commission Tor
the purpose Of laying before his people the
propositions which he deemed essential to
their welfare. No hope was entertained that
his majesty would relax in his pretenslons,
unless forced to do it by general lnsurrec'
ton.
I'm the Diet the claims Of the lIanoverians
were supported by the representatives OF
Wirtcmburgh, Bavaria, Saxony and Baden,
and opposed by those Of Austria, Prussia,
Electoral Hesse and f1csse Darmstadt.
SWITZERLAND.
A revolution has been carried into effect
in .he Canton Of Misunderstanding in the
overthrow and expulsion Of the Executive
and Grand Councils. The trouble was OF a
religious character, and commenced in the
appointment Of Professor Strauss to the CHAIR
of Theology, his opinions being considered
heterod0x. Some of our readers perhaps are
acquainted with his works, which have made
no little sensation for some years past. In
one of them he argued at great length, not
only against the divinity but against the very
existence of the Saviour.
Well-upon his appointment followed Pc
titons and remonstronccs, but they were un-
needed. Next came project OF law tor
national education, in which in6dcl princi-
Plies were alleged to be distinctly embodied.
More petitions followed the Executive Coun'
Gil prohibited the assembling OF the people to
sign petitions. Prosecutions were commen-
ccd-delegates were arrested--troops were
asselnbled-and finally the exasperaion oi
the people broke out in violence. On the
night OF September 5th, the people of Zurich
were under arms, and sharp conflict ensued
on the next morning, in which III were Killed
and 30 wounded-among the latter one OF
the Executive Council, whose hurt proved
mortal.
Reinforcements joined the pcope-and,
to make short the story, the government was
forced TO resign, and a provincial council of
state was formed, after which the people re-
tired to their homes and quiet was restored.
IN the Valais also there had been popular
ommotons, the cause of which We cannot
distinctly truce. Several persons were woun-
ded and one Of the gend'armes was killed.
The trouble arose in some way from the pro-
mitigation Of a new constitution, under the
sanction of the Diet, which was opposed by
the aristocrals and priests.
RUSSIA.
A widely extended conspiracy is said Il
have been discovered in Russian corps or
ns march 10 Poland. Five hundred officers
are declared to have been arrested OF one
blow, and others subsequently. Two hun
dred of them were confined IN The dungeon,
OF Warsaw and other places, and the resi-
were degraded to the ranks. The object o
the conspirators was to seize number o:
for,rcsscs in Poland, and stir up the Poles Il

OF the Russian armies was employed ut the
grand review at Borodino.

and with good deal of interest. The num-

peror in person, and subordinate commands
were given to the apparent and the Duke
Of Leuchtenburg. Doubts were entertained
whether thi. great body Of men was brough,
together merely for display, and it was ru'
