mo, and brings seven days later intelligence
from Europe than that brought by the Britain
MIA.
The news is important and interesting, and
forward you summary of the intelligence
by her.
The French election passed off quietly, the
moderate party being every where in the as
cendant.
The English money market, although fuc-
tuating, was generally firm. The consols were

the Pope, on receiving the Envoy from the
United States accredited 10 Rome. said -
81 shall be extremely happy to enter into a
treaty with so great nation, especially with
one in which the church has nothing TO fear
from the government, nor the government
from the church"
Political affairs on the Continent continue

Battle betlceen the Danes and HolSteiners.
altoona, April 24.-Inteligence has been
received of the taking of the towers of Schless-
wig by troops Of the Confederation, after an
engagement which lasted from O'Clock in
the afternoon of Easter Sunday until / o.
clock at night
The fortifcation on which the Danish artil-
lery was placed, was taken by the Prussans
at the point Of the bayonet After the battery
had been silenced by field pieces Schlesswig
| fell into the hands of the Confederation. The
conflict was most bloody.
The Danes having strong position, done
great execution with their artillery. The
Danes had from 1 1000 10 ~, 900 men. The
force of the confederation army was greatest,
but they were not all engaged. The loss Of
the Prussians, as far as asceraned, from I'M
authenticated accounts, is about 5000 in kill
ed and wounded. The loss of the Danes is
not known, but probably, having fought COM
paratively under cover, is not very great.
Spa1n.-ln Spain matters are steadily pro-
crossing towards an outbreak. The utter alb
sence of all constitutional government must
soon provoke the people to a rebellion, how
ever attached to their present form of govern
ment
Lord Palmerston has addressed letter thro'
MIR. Bulwer to the Spanish ministry, and his
advice gives such umbrage TO Narvaezs cabi-
net that Duke Sotomamon sent letter back 10
! Mr.. Bulwer, with strong expressions of rude
ness and contempt
Advices from Madrid indicate that month
will not expire before serious outbreak. Bu-
siness is at stand.
Portugal.-Portugal seems on the eve of
some serious movement Publications are ex-
tensively circulated, in which are canvassed
the abdication of the Queen in favor of her
son, new dynasty, and even Republic. The
latter form of Government, after discussing
the question in very infammatory language,
is declared best, and it is asserted that the ma
ton desires it,
Germany.-Deplorable accounts from Ba-
den have been received. The insurgents init
mated that they wished 10 capituate to the
force sent against them, but would treat with
none but the General in command, unless Cen
eral GagerE advanced from Schliengen, which
the insurgents had evacuated, TO Gandern,
which they occupied. The General stepped
from the ranks to parIey with the rebels The
! r cd fho hale tn oh
the voice of the law, but they refused to listen
to his counsels, and as he retired was most
treacherously shot and MORALLY wounded by
three balls.
In Prussia public attention is absorbed in
the Schlesswig and Hostein war, and the ap-
preaching elections were not expected to pass
peaceably.
Vienna was tranquil at the latest dates.
nd-Nolle prosequis have been enter
ed on the bills of Indictment against OBrien,
Mitchell, and others, on account of informai-
ties. Other indictments are to be made out.
The following address has been issued to
the friends of Ireland in America, dated Dub
lin, April % -
GO To Irishmen in america You have re-
Gently resolved to convene convention of the
lrishmen OF the United States and the two
Canadas. TO be held at Albany on the Sd Mon
day IN the month of July Iapprove entirely
OF that convention, and look to it for results
the most important to this nation but con-
slider the time fixed for its convocation too late,
and the place proposed at New Orleans as de-
fective.
" Events in Ireland will not allow US 10
wait for your aid until late in August, as wait
we must till then, if you do not meet before
the end of July.
"The government with which we are cursed
and destroyed, are using every art and artlfce
to drive us into premature revolt whilst we
do not yield them the vantage ground by rash
ness. Neither must we lose it by retreating.
Every event apparently goes to prove that
they will not yield peacefully the demands OF
this kingdom for self-legislation and self-taxa-
ton.
{" Ireland cannot, must not, yield. This is
, our real position, which expose to you thus
plainly, because desire you TO be equal to
the occasion now presented to Ireland. Sum
mon, therefore, your Convention Summon
it quickly. Organize the contributions you
propose to levy for Ireland Lose not a day
in this good work. Remember, for every hou
you lose, Ireland may lose generation
eve do not want you to fight our battles
t We have men enough still for that, but unhes
: itatingl y ask You TO place whatever share o
f your worldly goods that are superfuons IL
| you at the service of Ireland.
