that the French government did not mean TO ac-
knowledge the Roman government, without pre-
viously ascertainiDR that 1t approves OF its acts,
and that the Frepch ministry was snxio 10 that
the Pope sheuio be placed In a position becoming
q temporal prince, and head of the Catholic
church ; and the Assembly, In spite of an ineHec-
tual effort of the red republicans 70 fetter the 60

uncermOniously to the order of the day. , r g.
The salons OF Paris, SO long closed, are now
filed nightly by crowds Of the beau sso~ae aad to
petite commerce OF PARIS has received accordingly
very considerable impulse.
Joseph Bonaparte, who will proceed to Spain az
ambassador, insists on remaining In Paris till
after the elections. for which he is preparing 90 as
to consolidate the power Of his relative at the he al
Of the republic.
A continuance of tranquility may increase tho
good dispositions which now prevail to 30 great an
extent.
Under such circumstances, the funds have ad-
vanced very considerably. The five per cents are
quoted about 81 Co. The three per cents now range
about 50.
Important from Rome.
In the Roman States the republican feeling has
reached the highest point OF excitement, and the
Executive Committee has usurped the Papal au-
thonty, which is altogether set aside.
We have from Rome the important intelligence
Of the deposition of the Pope, and the establish
ment OF republic. This event took place at 10
O'Clock In the morning of the 9Th OF February. 1t
has been voted that he shall enjoy all the guarantees
necessary for the independence OF his spiritual
power.
The DanubSan Provinces.
Some of the Paris papers assert that the British
ambassador at Constantinope has protested against
the occupation of Moldavia and Wallacha by
Russia-ln which course he is sustained by the
ambassador of France.
Sardinia.
Sardinia remains quiet. The King seems con-
sclous that he has not the confidence of the Italians
Accordingly his object seems to be confined to the
maintenance Of his own power within Piedmont.
Naples.
Naples has not advanced step towards the set
element OF her disputes with Sicily, and we pre-
sumo that matters will remain in statw quo, until
some progress can be made In the negotiations of
the several powers now assembling at Brussels for
the adjustment of Italian affairs.
Holland.
The King of Holland opened the Chambers on
the l4th, amidst general manifestations of attach
ment from his people.
Prussia.
In Prussia, the elections have absorbed univer.
sal interest. The prospects of the Ministry have
somewhat improved
The Austrian banker Mr.. Slna has taken a new
Austrian loan of 60, 100000 forms in conjunction
with the firm OF Rothschild and the Russ al house
OF Steielitz q Co. The Emperor has authorized
the expectation OF a considerable portion of bullion
from the stock In the vaults of the Bank OF Rus
ella, with view to facilitate the payment of this
loan.
Tho Austrian Empire.
In Austria and Hungary, affairs have again
taken an unfavorable turn. The Imperalists have
certainly been beaten In several encounters with
the Hupgarians, and Benz is likely to give them a
great deal OF trouble. 1t Is impossible to read the
accounts of this fratricida war without being
shocked at the frightiu vndictiveness and bar
barity into which hOstlllues are carried on.
Prince Windlscbgratz has been entrusted with
the settlement of the affairs of Hungary.
Russia.
We have had repeated reports Of the entrance
Of the Russians into Transylvania, but no anthem
&c accounts have yet reached US OF such an i'm.
portant intervention. There cannot, however,
exist doubt but that Russia Is intriguing active
ly with view to encroschments IN that quarter.
Lord Palmerston, however, seems to be fully
aware of the danger, and in spite of the obloquy
attempted to be fastened upon him. is steadily cir
cumventiDg an intrigue, which, if persevered In,
will infallibly bring about q general European
war.
Spanish Affairs.
THE ANNEXATION OF CUBA To THE UNITED STATES.
In Span, at the session of Congress held at Ma
drd, Jan. 81, a call was made for the correspond
said TO have passed respecting the annexation
of the island of Cuba. The reply was, that no pro-
position had been made; and that no ministry CON-
posed of Spanlards would eAer listen to such pro-
posal, if made; and that they should never cede
the island OF Cuba. In the Senate also, General
Narvaez confirmed the above; and added, that the
rumors OF cession wree entirely untounded and
that the island Of Cuba would always remain, as
now, a part of the monarchy Of Spain.
Important from India.
The India mail has arrived, with dates from
Bombay to the l9h, and Calcutta, 9th January, and
Hong Kong to Both December.
The news svery interesting.
Our previous advices left portion OF the British
army before Moultan, which place was to be re-
duced, to enable that army to join the divisions
under Lord Cough. Our present intelligence state,
that that place has been captured after having been
battered and bombarded for an entire week, but
The citadel held sut. Tledeience Of the place seems
70 have bees one Of the most obstinate on record.
On the 9th Dec, the columns moved to the attack
and established themselves within FIVE hundred
yards OF the walls. Here batteries were erected.
and on the 18th a terrific bombardment COM
nenced. On the S0th, fort containing $4,000
pounds Of powder, was blown up By well directed
mertars The devastation was horrible Here
we are compelled to stop our despatch, in conss-
quence Of the lateness Of the hour, this (Fnday)
morning .-HBRALp.]
