Of the Waag but whilst some ascribe the VIC
tory TO the AusIrians, others giye it to the
Hungarians. The German Reform, which
hitherto has been favorable to the Austrians,
says that they have sustained severe checks.
1t is said that cholera, typhus, and other
maladies.are raging in the camp, and that the
Magyars display greater enthusiasm than ever.
1t was reported that the Austrians had taken
Raab. Kossuth has ordered the Austrian pris-
oners, several thousand in number, 10 be en-
poyed on the works Of the Szolnok and De-

Italy, Advices from Italy to the 18th
have been received, from which we learn that
Ancona, after destructive bombardment OF
two days, had surrendered to the Austrian
General. The terms of capitulation are po-
litical amnesty to the inhabitants.
The bombardment Of Venice has been sus-
pended in consequence of proposals OF capt.
ulation having been made by the Lesieged
GEKMANY-The accounts from Central
Germany and Prussia, are Of much more
pacific character than heretofore.
CHINA.-From China we learn that the
Emperor had refused to carry out the stlpula-
tions of the two treaties, which provided that
Canton should be open to foreigners. In the
communication of Sea, the Governor of Can
ton, TO Mr. Bonham, he says the Emperor had
determined that as the people of Canton have
refused to receive foreigners into the town,
how can be force an, opposite course to the
people
From the nature of the proclamation it is
quite plain that the authorities were prepared
10 resist The entrance of the foreigners into the
city, but great sacrifice of human blood has
been averted by Lord Palmerston, having Civ
en- special directions that nothing more should
be done than report the reputation of the
treaty TO him.
The large naval force which had assembled
in the Canton river to protect the British in
terests has all dispersed.

NY Dear Sir:-The news from The Par
Lament of Great Britain, this morning, must,
think. increase The discomfort OF our neigh
bors on the other side of the ST. Lawrence
and the Lakes not litle and that those
discontents will, in n few years, lead TO sep
aration OF The Canadas, New Brunswick, &c,
&C., from the mother country, seems equally
probable.
Will those Provinces form themselves into
an Independent nation, or seek connection
with our Union? think the probability Is
greatly in favor of the latter. In my Judg
ment The interests Of both sides would be
much promoted by annexaion-the several
Provinces coming into The Union on equal
terms with our present thirty States. The
Tree navigation of the St. Lawrence Is al
ready of immense importance 10 perhaps
third Of our present population, and would
be of great value 10 the remainder. Aller
