hope she will make good passage. She crowded
with passengers and full of freight, and her voyage
cannot fail to be highly remunerative to the Ocean
Steam Navigation Company. The large number of

and when it is also considered that the Hermann had
such an immense freight as actually to have been
overloaded WREN che left here cannot be wondered
the America should gain slight advantage. Under
any circumstances. however, the Hermann made an
excellent passage, and has made herself reputation

The greatest apprehensons were entertained in
Tuscany OF the approach of the Austrans, but they

de- o6ores has declared that this portion of Tuscany
sball be respected by the Austrian army, condition
that internal order shall be observed in the Grand
Ducby, and that there shall be no levy masse, nor
any act of aggression. A smilar Intervention has
taken place with General Perglas, the commander Of
the corps d. occupation Of Modena which, 1t was ex
