A further overland mail has arrived from India,
bringing dates from Calcutta 10 the 10th, Madras
the 25th, and Bombay the 3lst of August. Major
Edwards and his troops were still encamped before
Moultan The renforcements despatched from
Ferozepore had not yet joined them, but were hour

ZION of Moultan.
Sikh auxiliary force was also on the march
from Lahore. The insuTgent inhabitants Were al
tempting to quit Moulan having hearu oI the APP

them building up the gates. In spite Oh Ihe I'M

not been attended with any remarkaDe casualty.
An outbreak has taken place in the HaZerah dis

We learn from Vienna, that Count Lamberg, who
had been appointed by the Emperor of Austria
cOmmander-in-chief Of his troops in Hungary and
Croatia, assassinated on the 29h ult., on the
bridge of Pesth, by a student. GelachiCh the
Ban of Croatia, was continuing his march, in spite
of the injunctiOns to the contrary Of the Emperor.
Continental Intelligence
The news from the continent continues to betraV
considerable want Of political composure.
In France much excitement and alarm cont inue
prevail. The Assembly have decided, by a con-
siderable majority, after very able discussion, in
which Lamartine took prominent part on having
but one Legislative chamber. The Committee of
the Constitution have also decided, by vote often
10 four, that the President of the Republic shall be
elected by universal suffrage and not by the Assem-
bly, itself. Socialists banquets, after the example Of
the Reform banquets held all over the country last
autumn, are too frequent to favor expectation of
coming quietude; and the speeches and cries which
have characterized more than one of them, are of
the most reasonable and incendiary nature. Moth
ing is yet defnitively known of he state of the ne
gotiatiOns relative TO the affairs of Northern Italy,
but from the remarks of Gen. Cavagnae in the
French National Assembly on Monday, as well as
from the rumors that aoat there is good ground
for hoping that pacific solution of the question is
near at hand.
In Southern Italy, matters do not look so promis-
ing. The King of Naples refuses the mediation of
France and England between himselfand his former
subjects In Sicily, and threatens immediate re-
sumption of hOsttes
Germany is still in unsettled state the stand
ard OF revolt has been again raised In the Southern
provinces, and again the rebels have been signay |
discomlitted.
PrU STA has escaped the danger of another revo-
luton, by the submission of the King, at the |
eleventh hour, to the wishes of the National As |
semby.
The anarchy of the Austrian Empire appears to |
be nearly complete. In Vienna, we have a specta-
Gle of a reactOnary court waiting for the concen-
tration Of large military force around the capital,

One district Of Hungary, dependency, is almost
overrun with the troops of another Austrian pro-
vince. The Ban of Croatia elated by his success,
ls no longer willing to act the tool of the Central
Government, but threatens to set up on his own
account The Vienna cabinet, alarmed at the new
turn of affairs, has SENT perhaps too late, commits

barbarians.
The Regent of Germany has issued to the Gov
ernmenls OF all the German States, circular man.
feso, officially recounting the facts of the rising in
Frankfort, on the 18Th and its prompt suppression
by hs.GOvemment.
In the sitting of the Constituent Assembly Of
Prussia on the ID, the Minister of Foreign Affairs
declared that he fully expected that the negotiation
with Denmark would lead to peaceful arrange
ment.
The Frankfort Journal Of the 3D. inst, says that
the diplomatic relations between the central power
and the French Republic are now completely regu-
lated, at that at Frankfort as in Paris, permanent
ministers will represent both countries.
AUSTRIA.
The Vienna correspondent of the KOlend Zietung
asserts that Russia and Prussia have promised their
assistance on the Italian question
The Paris PreSse states the reply of the Austrian
Government to the offer of mediation by England
and France, in substance as follows
First Austria denies that the war undertaken by
Charles Albert can establish any pretensOns over
Lombardy; that the guarantee of the treaty of
Vienna, in favor of Austria, finds new support in
the right of conquest established by Marshal Ra-
desky and that alteration of territorial ecu ILL
brium can be justly made by two only of the seven
powers who guaranteed the treaty of Vienna. Aus ,
ira, however, proposes the conYocaton of gene }
raj congress OF the powers of Europe at Inspruck
with the view to concert measures for the indepen-
dent administration of the Lombardo- Venetian
Territory, and the durable tranquility of the PEN
insula beyond the Apprentices.
