council on the subject of the Jesuts, the people

Rome.
A letter from Rome of the 18th, in the Universe,
has the following. Upon the fact here mentioned.
the Augsburg Gazette appears to have built its story
Cf the arrest and Imprisonment Of several cardinals:
"a close carriage, escorted by Dragons, convey
ed few days ago to the Castle Of ST. Angelo state
prisoner, said to be Cardinal della Genga, who
caused or suffered to be published at Pessaro that
absurd proclamation which excited so much con.
tempt This report is, 1t appears, without any
foundation"
letter from Bologna OF the 18th inst. says:
"Some disturbances took place on the 18th in the
Borgo d Faenza but after the arrest Of 20 chiefs OF
the Barghigiani among whom is said to be the Cure
ID. Bettoni and the seizure Of a great quantity OF
arms and ammunition, traquillity, It appears, is re-
stored"
Circassia.
The news from Circassia, which comes down to
the 9th Of August is of great and thrilling interest
A Russian deserter to the Circassians, Baki Del
lisseu, by name, who, obtaining influence with the
various tribes has been raised to an important COM
mand, has made successful "razzia" on the Rus
sian territory at period when he the least
pected; the consequences were that the enemy, be-
ing attacked suddenly, made a feeble resistance,
and cannon and large quantities Of ammunition fell
into the hands Of Baki Delisseu. Several native
tribes who had submitted formerly to Russia elated
with this success, revolted in mass, and abandon
ing the Russian possessions, fled to the mountains
of MAIDEN Dagh, about 40 miles from the frontier
The Russian general led in person an expedition
against them. The issue was u series Of disasters
on both sides, Notwithstanding that the Russians
succeeded in taking some 200 prisoners, of whom
$50 were cruelty murdered during the retreat Of the
army to their fortress, having been shot by com.
mand Of the general.
This fact alone suffices to demonstrate how this
cruel and disastrous is carried on in Circassia
1t is worthy Of attention that there are at present in
the Caucasus 10000 to 10000 Russian deserters
5000 Poles, and other foreign adventures, who
ha laielv nlaeed he nd
this Balti Delsseu. Consequently the Russians viii
hereafter have to do with their own counrymen
European tactics, mountainous country, and with
mi-barbarous-civilized Circassians.

Grand Vizsr and his formal installation, as well a.

Every part Of India continued tranquil, the
weather was cold and agreeable, and the health Of
the troops and inhabitants excellent. 1t was giver
out by one of the Indian journals that Sir c. Napier

er prices
Accounts from Canton state that, owing to thu
late disturbance having caused great want of con-
hdence, and to the continued scarcity of money, the
market for both imports and exports had been in ar
extremely depressed state. Large shipments were
being made to Bombay, and few ships loading su
gar for England. With the exception of these op
erations, the sagnation in the market amounted to
complete suspension Of business.
China.
A letter from Hong Kong, dated August %, says
The late riot at Canton has led to long correspon.
dence between the consul and the British merchants
The merchants claim, right established by trea-
ty that one Of her maesty's vessels should be per-
manently stationed off the factories, to be at hand
in the event of any outbreak; but the consul MAIN
tains that, according TO the treaty, which provides
for a vesse-of-war at each of the five ports Wham
poa is its proper anchorage, which, though ten miles
off, he, in common with the Chinese, holds to be the
port Of Canton. The British community having nc
assurance that they will be protected by their own
government have resolved to do everything possible
