PROPOSALS TO BURN LORD BRoUGHAM's CHA
TEAU!-T recent conduct of Lord Brougham, in
which the people of Cannes have fancied there
were indications of hostile feelings toward France
and to their neighborng friend Charles Albert, has
nearly cost him his country seat. At one OF the
sate meetings of the clubs of the canton, after hear
ing read his speeches in the House of Lords, mo-
ton was made that the members of the clubs should
Immediately proceed-it being then nine o'clock at
night-to his Lordship's chaIeau with torches and
combustibles But one of the speakers rose and
said, GO No citizens not now. If we go at this
hour we shall be taken for robbers. If the house
of this ungenerous citizen is to be burnt, let us do
1t IN open day. The suggestion prevailed, and
the chateau was saved On the following day the
idea of burning abandoned, and instead,
a resolution was come to that charivari should be
given to his Lordshp if he ventured to set his foot
in Cannes.-Echo des Apes Maritimes Nice.
There have been disturbances in the departments
at Limoges, Castel Serrasin, Puy-de-Dorne, and
other places.
AUSTRIA.
WILL AUSTRIA LEAVE THE CONFEDERATION.
The Vienna Gazette declares that Austria cannot
accept beforehand, obligatory for her, the resol-
tions of the forthcoming Parliament at Frankfort,
which meets on the 18th inst. This declaration
has produced an immense excitement in the Ger
man press. The Vienna Gazette, however, In us
ing this language, does not go against the public
mind in Austria 1t expresses sincerely the opinion
of Bohemia, which does not wish to be smelted into
the Germanic unity, and also OF great portion OF
the inhabitants of Vienna.
Already the AHgemeine Zeitung and Air la Cha
peUe Gazette predict certain ruin to Austria if she
abandons the Germanic Confederation. The last
adds that at all events the candidateship of Austria
many has become for ever impossible, and it con-
clndes that the only serious candidate now remain
ing is that Of Prussia.

TREATY BETWEEN RUSSIA, SWEDEN, AND DEN

April state, from authority, that treaty offensive
and defensive between Russia, Sweden and Den
mark is arranged, and will positively be ratified in
the event of entry of German troops in Schles-
wig in which case Denmark will be supported by
the whole forces of the other two powers This
contradicts the intelligence from the Hamburg pa

The New CONSTITUTION OF FRANcE-IFrom
the London Herald, May Oh 1t Is also
most important to know that there is not the slight
est fear that freedom of debate will be lnterfered
with or invaded. The Army and the National
Guard are with the majority, and even the Worxing
men are now beginning to see the lmpracteabe
follies of Louis Blanc, and to range themselves on
the side of order. One of the first questions that
will arise is as to the nature and form of the new
Republic 1t is known that the draught of Con-
stitution was prepared fortnight ago by M. de
Cormenin, at the request of the Provisional Gov
eminent. In this rough draugh, a single PTes,-
dent. as in America, was fired upons But after the
sketch had been submitted to the Provisional Gouern-
nest, NJ Lauaartine induced his colleagues to adopt
a triumuirate-and in that form, we beliepe, the
proposition wH be submitted to the Assembly. A
single Chamber only will be recommended, the
tbroa Presidents tn have SusDenSIye veto. The
separation of Church and State will, we under
stand, also be recommended, and one of the first
acts of the Finance Minister will be to state that he
is not prepared produce any ecclesiastical budget
These, it must be admitted, grave, serious and
difficult questions, admitting of wide difference OF
opinion, and on which it is certain the widest DIT
ference of opinion must prevail. Difference OF
opinion also prevails, and will doubtless De ex-
