1t is contained in letter from Messina, dated April
10: This city is now considered quite safe the
arrests here amount to between 200 and 300, with
out any cause being assigned, made generally at
night, when the poor creatures were in bed The
town is in state of seige. From Catania hear
that the Bulldog was going down to Girgenti, but
had put Oft its departure in consequence of bad
weather, and was going instead to Syracuse for a
couple of days. Nobody had returned to Catania,
and nothing was doing. The Scilian troops had
taken up strong position at Castiogiovanni, with
the intention of arrestng the progress of the enemy
overland to Palermo. NunZiante's force, which at
first amounted to 1000 men, had been increased to
120OO.''

Russians in Hungary.-By accounts from Vi
emma to the 18th ult., it seemed certain that in
day or two more there would be Russian army
of 10000 men on the Waag. The line by which
the Russian will be poured in is the rail
road between Warsaw and Vienna. The auxiliary
army will be concentrated at Cracow. From the
frontiers of Moravia they will march into the coun-
try between the Waag and Gran, spreading their
left wing along the southern base of the mountain
GUS borders of Galcia. Before they can set free
the Gallican succours under Hammerstein, they
will have to beat the Hungarians out of their newly
conquered ground in the northern countless and re-
take kaschau, Eperes, ETC., for the Austrians.
The Wemer Ze,tung inserts letter from Cracow,
of the 24th, which says that the Russian corps col
lected near Cracow, consists of IS 600 men, with
more than 30 pieces of artillery, to which rein
forcements are daily expected. Another paper re-
ports that 80, 900 Russians are on the march from
Radziwilow, through Cracow, into Moravia. From
Oderburg they were to be transported by railroad,
and in a few days would be at Neutra.

Afairs-By late arrival the Philadelphia Ameri-

interview with Mr.. Davis, the American Commits

Geisinger. A fire at Kevialann, the capital of the
Province of Kevangse, destroyed 1000 houses, in
GLIDING the offices of the Viceroy. Many people
persisted during the confagration. The annual
sacrifices to the names of Confucus, the great
Chinese philosopher, were made with much cere-
mony, in the presence of the Emperor and several
Kings, in the Imperial gardens. The war against
the pirates is carried on with great vigor, and
hopes are held out of their determination. The
Chinese bankers, in anticipation of difficulties with
the British, We're Withdrawing their capital from
Canton. A conference between the British and
Chinese plenipotentiaries took place Oh the 18th,
on board the British flagship Hastings, where Leu
was received with great ostentation and after the
conference, was set down to a magnificent ban
quet. The U. S. ship Preble, which had sailed
from Canton to Japan, to see about the alleged
capture of American seamen, returned to Hong
Kong on the l6th four days afterwards, on account
of the smallpox having broke out among the crew.
