doubtless learn with much pleasure that His Maj
esty the Empercp of Russia intends to visit Great
Britain. Such report prevails in our higher cir
ces Many persons are led to believe that the
visit of the Emperor of Russia has for its object
not only to compliment Queen Victoria, but to at
tempt reconciliation with France. Such persons
think that the visit of the Emperor Nicholas Will
be at the same time that of the King OF the
French but those conectures appear to us entirely
uniounded.
The English and French embassies are, it seems
at work with the sublime Porte to require that
henceforth the cruel and ianatical spirit OF Ma
homedansm shall not outrage the civilized world.
ITALY.
The last letters from Italy are full of accounts
of the armed bands which have of late reappeared
in the Apprentices and in the low country on the
coast of the Adriatic; and it is said that all the
troops the Pope has at his disposal at Bologna, are
not sufficient to prevent the nightly depredations to
which that city is exposed.
The accounts from Italy exhibit strong appre-
tensions of an nsurection in the Papal States the
subjects of which are justly discontinued at all con-
ccssions being refused. The conspiracy exists a.
mong the political refugees in every kingdom in
Europe. The plan is said to be to kindle simnlta-
neous instructions in Bologna, Perugia, Ancona, |
and in Naples, whence each revolutionary deach- |
ment is to march upon Rome, where a democratic |
government is to be proclaimed. The troops both |
in Rome and Naples have been tempered with
slight disturbance has already taken place in
Calubria. An appeal has been addressed to the
Cabinet of Vienna, by the Princes of Southern TIA
| ly, which will bring its inevitable consequence, an
expression of French sympathy.
| TURKEY, GREECE, AND ClRCASSIA.
By letters from Constantnople, it appears the
Porte is little inclined to give the pledge to the
| English and French Ambassadors, that the pun
| lhnent of death should not again be inflicted up
on Kayaks, who might recant Mehommetan tenets."
| The Turkish Ministers regarded the demand as an
last accounts from Albania intimated that gener-
al instruction would shortly take place in that
province.
The National Assembly of Greece are proceed
ing with the settlement Of their new Constitution.
! According to the advces which have been receiv-
ed from Athens to the end of February, the As
sembly had resolved that the Senators should be
named for life by the King The minimum num-
Der of Senators was fixed at 81, but the King may,
in Of need, raise their number to half that
of the Representatives, with the consent of the lat
ter. Princes of the blood are declared, by right,
members Of the Senate and entitled to a debera-
ting vote at the age of 25. The President of the
Senate is to be eligible for three years and the
members Of the Assembly are to receive 500
drachms per month during the session. When the
last article OF the constitution voted, UUdS in
favor Of the Constitution and the King resounded
through the ball, and the galleries reserved for the
public. The day was one of general rejoicing
The Russian army in the Caucasus has recently
experienced many reyerses, arising principally from
the improved state Of dlsci Inc amongst the hardy
mountaineers, who defending themselves against
the invaders Several Poes of military experience,
3 have succeeded in joining the Circassians and Civ
ing to them the aid of their tactics According to
the Cologne Gazette the Circassians have received
large supplies of arms and ammunition from Eng
land and this circumstance is said to have caused
great irritation in the mind of the Emperor of
, Russia and led TO remonstrances to the English
government. This, however, is untrue, as the En-
gllsh government has no means Of preventing the
supply of arms and ammunition to the Clrcassiaps
by English merchants. According to the 4lge-
meme Ieitung, Russia intends to strike decisive
blow this summer against the mounaineers. Ten
or twelve vessels Of war are to be fitted out III the
Black Sea, for the purpose of bockading the whole
coast of Caucasus, and part of the Russian army
Of the south Is to support the operations.
PRUSSIA.
For some time past negotiations have been pen
ding for commercial treaty between the United
States of America and the Germanc Union Of
Customs. We learn, upon good authority, that
these negotiations have been brought to a close,
+ and that treaty has been actually signed by the
Prussian government and Mr.. Wheaton, the Amer
lean minister at this court The effect of the
treaty is understood TO be to reduce the present du
ties on tobacco and rice imported into Germany
from the United States ana on the other hand, to
Afford iacllltleS Tor the Introduction INTO the Uni
ted States Of several branches Of German manu-
features for American consumption. 1t is, of course
uncertain whether this treaty, at present entered
It into by Prussia only will be ratified by the other
e States of the Germanic Customs Union, and still
. more uncertain whether the treaty will be ratified
by the American Legislature but, as it stands, Mr.
Wheaton has gained march upon all the other
governments who have hitherto attempted to treat
with Germany in commercial matters.
