Accounts from Berne of the 22d, state that it
having been reported that the troops marched
against the insurgents of St Inner had thrown up
the butts of their muskets and joined them, the So

lachen descended in arms, and entered that town
without resistance. The authorities have sought
refuge in the castle; the revoters laid serge to it,
but were repulsed The governor was dangerously
wounded in the leg. The conservatives Of the
neighbonDg districts, on hearing of what had oc-
Cured, repaired to lnlerlachen in considerable
force, and drove the socialists out of the plain.

ministry refused to him. He then called a
meeting to explain the object OF his mission TO all
who chose to attend; but it was dissolved by the
police. Similar attempts have been made in
France and Belgium, but with little result. The
soldiers who are being dismissed from the Holsteln
army have also had offers made them to eater the
Brazilian service, but the German journals warn
them against accepting any of the offers, as the
terms OF the engage ment are anything bit clear
and precise. The Ha mburg police has given no. ice
