he was strengthening himself for war

Itmay be well 10 state that his demands
are now confined TO the hereditary soVe-
reignty of Egypt and Syria, and the DIS
missai of khosrew Pacha from the pre-
miership of Turkey. The Porte refuses
TO dismiss Khosrew, and refuses also the
hereditary sovereignty Of Syria.
In the mean time another pretender has
sprung up 70 the throne of Mahnoad, IN
the person of Nadir Bey, who claims TO be
son of Mustapha " the elder brother
and predecessor of Mahmoud, by one OF
tho ladies of his harem, who escaped when
the women Of Mustapha's seragho were
put 10 death, being pregnant at the time,
and afterwards gave birth to thus same
Nadlr.
HANOVER.
The Gernamc Diet, TO which the Han
oyerians had appealed against the uncon.
stitutional proceedings Of the hing, had
decided in his favor by majority OF one.
That IS, the Diet had decided not to M
tertere, on the ground that the matter In
dispute is no, one affecting the interests or
the rights of the Contederacy. The hing
had thereupon announced the formation OF
a commission for the purpose Of laying be-
fore his people the propositions which he
deemed essential to their welfare. No
hope was entertained that his Majesty
would relax in his pretensions, unless fore
ed to do it BY a general insurrection.
In the Diet the claims OF the Hanover.
ans were supported by the representatives.
OF Wrtemburgh, Bavaria, Sayony, and Ba-
den, and opposed by those Of Austria, Prus.

SWITZERLAND,
A revolution has been carried INTO effect
IN the Canton Of Zurich-resulthg IN the
overthrow and expulsion Of the Executive
and Grand Councils. The trouble was Of
religious character, and commenced in
tie appointment Of Professor Strauss &c
the char Of Theology, his opinions beng
considered heterodox. Some OF our read.
ers perhaps are acquainted with his works
which have made no little scnsationfor some
Years past. In one of them he argued a
great length, not only against the DIVINITY
but against the very existence Of the "a
ylour.
Well, upon MS appointment followed
petitions and circumstances, but thcy wcT,
unhceded. Next came project OF lav
for national education, IN which infide
principles were allcdged to be distinctly
embodied. More petitions follcwed-th,

ling OF the people to sign petitions. Pros

nally the evaporation Of the people brolS
out IN violence. On the night OF Septem

arms, and sharp conflict ensured on III
next morning, IN which 10 were killed an,
80 Uoandcd--among the latter, ono Of III
Executive Council, whose nutt prove,

council Of state was formed, after who
the people retired 10 their homes, and quo
was restored,
In the Nalais also there had been pop
ular connections, the cause Of which W
cannot distinctly trace. Several person

RUSSIA
4 widely extended conspiracy Is said ,
y have been discovered IN a Russian corr
y on lts march to Poland. Five huudrc
officers are declared to have been arrcstc
:. at one blow, and others Subsequent,
= Two hundred Of them were confined IN Ii
i dungeons Of Warsaw and other places, an
f" the rest we're degraded 70 the ranks. ri
- object Of the conspiracy was % seize
: number Of fortrsses IN Poland, and stir Il
the Poles to a general Instruction, whl
n a large portion Of the Russian armies wt
!. employed at the grand review at Borodin,
=. This same review appears to have bee
d closely watched BY the European poht
# clans, and with good deal Of lntcres
/. The number Of troops assembled was nea
II ~ 100000, and the command was assun
l. ed by the Emperor IN person, and subo
C dIna,e commands were gwen 10 the hci
II apparen, and the Duke OF Leuchtcubcr.
&c Doubts we're entertained whether this gre
body Of men was brought together mere
n for display; and it was rmorcd that o
y dcrs had been given for marching a larl
@ portion Of them to the Southwark.
u these rumors were correct, however, II
c probable that the orders were occasionc
J. by the necessity Of reinforcing the ARM,

J, on by the insurgents with undated cou
h age and activity.
