equal number of members from each order The
mobiles and the clergy have already each named the
thirty members who are to represent them in this
Committee; and, was to be expe ted, the whole OF
the sixty members are in favor Of granting the APP

and the peasants are TO nominate their memberss
but as it is scarcely possible that out of the sixty
members to be named, one or two should not be in

1t was confidently asserted at Madrid that one Of
Mazzni's proclama lions had been widely circulated
in that city, recommending the spanish demag ogues
to be prepared to act AZ the first signal, as the
time is approaching for the overthrow Of all the
thrones in Europe. 1t was believed, however, that
such incendary publications would have but little
effect amongst the population

STEAM COMMUNICATION WITH THE UNITED STATES.
Advices from Genoa Of the 2lst ult say:-A
new line Of steam communication direct from Genoa
to New York, has been gained by Messrs Liv-
ingston, Wells & Co, of that city. Mr.. Coster, o.
gentleman interested in the undertaking, and frem
whom i have received an account Of the project, Is
staying in Piedmont, in order prepare the ne;es-
sary steps for coming to an agreement with the
Sandman Government with regard to the mails.
am happy to say that Count Ca your, to whom as
Minister Of Commerce, the plan has been submitted,
has given the sanction of the government. grant
has been made to the company for the exclusive
working Of this line for fifteen years, the annual
sum Of $4,000 being guaranteed for the transport
of the mails. These steamers will touch at Madei-
ra, where letters passengers will be transferred
to the South American line of steamers so that il
may be looked upon as double line, both to the
south and north Of the American continent. | sub
join circumstantial and exact statement Of tho
agreement entered into with the government Of
this country which is very fair, all port charges and
duties being free. The company also in treaty
with the Portuguese and South American govern
mens for the transport Of their mails, and likely
to be successful 10 obtaining them onfavorabe con-
ditions. have been informed that the government,
is its custom, has endeavored to facilitate this
undertaking as much as possible, consistently with
is wish to encourage ibe,a spirit Of enterprise,
and to enlarge the trade with Ameri,a,
According to statistical returns, the i'm portation
Of cotton to this port during last year amounted to
fifteen milliens Of francs; direct steam commit
cation will not fail to increase this amount, which
was entirely for home consumption. When the
railway to Switzerland is completed no doubt can
be entertained that Genoa Will, by its medium,
largely supply that manufacturing lntry with
it's raw material, which at the present moment IL
draws from other ports-chefy Hayrc. The ex-
port trade in fruits from the Mediterrsne to Ame
RIGA Is calculated at sixty millions per annum. A
cargo Of fresh fruits generally loses three fourths
OF its value during it's passage, as sailing vessels

expected TO clear the distance in about sixteen
days, and, time being prime consideration with

from Germany and Switzerland has, at present
as no direct communication exists from the Medi-
terranean to New York-to take its way either to
some port of Northern Germany, or Of England;
but as soon as those steamers begin to ply shorter,
quicker, and consequently mu ID che aper route viii
be opened for 1t. These conside rations speak most
certainly in favor Of the project, which is the be-
ginning of a new era in the commercial connection
of the Mediterranean with America. Putting ma
tcral considerations apart, the advantage Of FORM
ing fresh link by this means with country go
yerned by free Institutions, and with a liberal
commercial system, has, 10 may be surmsed, not
been overlooked by the able man at the head Of
that department CT the ministry, aud no doubt in
luenced the government in making the desired
concessions, and agreeing to the conditions pro-
posed By Mr. Coster, the gentleman acting agent
here on behalf Of the New York ,olpany. On the
termination OF the rail way To the Swiss frontier,
which, IL il TO be hoped, will not be long delayed,
rs the works are beng continued with alacrity,
this steam communi .atoD will aid to make Genoa
a depot, from which the counties that have just
entered into commercial treaties with this S.lto
can supply themselves with the Transatlantic raw
materials necessary for heir industry, as well as
an outlet to America for their exports.
