-. -
William the III. was in London at the time,
but Immediately proceeded to his dominion.
where probably ne has peacefully assembled
| the throne.
Ial4.-According TO the last accounts from
Italy, numerous desertions had taken place A.
mong the troops of Radetzky. Charles Albert
has refused the supplies of oats demanded by
Radetzky. The latter has consequently bro
ken off the communication between Piedmont
and Lombardy. At the same time the Sardi-
man troops were being supplied with amnu-
milton.
Prussia.-The elections have been held
| throughout Prussia, and so far give strong In
dications of large Democratic majority
There had been considerable rioting, and ate
tempts at fraudulent voting in the Duchy OF
Posen, where the Democratic party are in a
decided majority.
A letter from Berlin states that in conse-
quence of negotiations with the German Inn
perial Minister, Prussian Envoy will pro-
coed to the United States, wholly for the pur-
pose of buying both sailing vessels and steam
ers, to be commanded by American officers
until the natives shall be qualified sufficiently
for the purpose.
Germany-A motion to separate Austria
from the German empire was carried in the
Diet sitting at Frankfort by vote of S6l to
221. The motion created considerable excite
ment.
An order has been given by WindischratZ
to hang all the inhabitants who may be found
with arms in their hands, and that any place
of which even a few inhabitants shall attempt
to modest any imperial courtier, shall be level
led to the ground.
Denmark and Schles4cig Holstein.-The no.
tice for the cessation OF the armistice and of
blockade of Schleswig Hostein, and other
ports has been officially published. A cores
/ pondent at Berth, however, on the goth writes:
learn that yesterday the Danish Envoy had
an interview with the Minister of Foreign
Affairs, Won Arnum, in which he communica-
ted TO him the renewal of the Danish armis-
tice for three months.
Naples and Sicily-It is reported that the
Sicilians have proclaimed Lucian Murat King
of Naples. He is the son of Murat, formerly
the King of that country under Napoleon.
Commercial Intelligence.-Tn England the
unsettled and alarming state of continental po-
litics, and the fears generally indnIged in with
} reference 10 the forthcoming intelligence by
the Overland Mail from India, had the effect,
up to within three days of the sailing of the
Niagara, to create considerable dependency
in the commercial circles, and an almost en-
tire suspension of the extensive operations in
every department of trade, and the Cotton
market was usually dull and depressed, and
the prices receded full of penny per ID.
Nearly every principal article OF commerce
partook of the general gloom, but on We'd
nesday, the anxiously looked for India news
was received, and being of more favorable
character than had been anticipated, reaction
Immediately set in, and at the moment of the
Niagara's departure. every department of trade
had assumed mole cheerful aspect.
Cotton, that safe barometer of commercial
health and confidence, rallied at once to the
extent of one nth of a penny, and the mar
ket for the week closed with rather an active
demand
There has been no improvement in the trade
for breadstufs since the advices by the Can
ada.
The reports by the Overland Mail represent
trade at Bombay, Calcutta, and Canton to be
good, and business generally 10 be in heal
thy state
The supply of money continues abundant
on call. The bankers will not give more than
2 per cent, and are Indifferent about receiving
it at that. First class paper is gladly taken at
24a23.

inactive as before the sailing of the last stea-

some speculation in the article for a few days,
and an advance of three pence 10 six pence

the above description, as well az for Philadel-
