Advices frem Hamburg, of the 9th ut state
The Austrians are terribly afraid Of the demo
cratic clubs and publications. Every meeting
advertised by club of that denomination was
prevented, on their instigation, by the police
nevertheless, their guards and patrols are in
creased, and all the soldiers who are mounting
guard or on parade, arc loading their muskets
ready to fire at moments notice. The regi-
ments in the neighborhood, too, got orders to
march upon Hamburg at the first signal given
to them. Hitherto, however, they had no occa-
sion, because nobody thinks of creating any dis
turbance They are continually Fostering the
Senate about the press, which, according to
their contracted ideas, is by far too liberal,
though it has been moderating itself since the
Prussans and the Austrians nre ording over
u.s. OF two actions which were brought against
editors by the State attorney, for offending
friendly powers, one was acquitted, but the other
found guilty and sentenced to fines---the editor
300 and the publisher 200 marks, together about
EDO, which, in the eyes Of arbitrary govern
ments, of course, appears too mild, considering,
as they do, caricature on n crowned head rs
heinous crime, for which the offender ought to
be sent to prison for many years and this was
the order mentioned in my last given to about
10000 men.

ENLARGEMENT OF THE CAPITOL
~ The Committee on Public Buildings of the
Senate, having been authorized by a resolution Of
that body, a" to invite plans accompanied by est-
mates for the extension of the Capitol and to al
low premium Of five hundred dollars for the
plan which may be adopted by the Committees on
Public Buildings of the two Houses OF Congress- ~
accordingly invite such plans and estimates, to be
delivered to the Secretary of the Senate on or be-
fore the first day of December next
IL is required that these plans and estimates
shall provide for the extension of the Capitol,
either by additional wings, to be placed on the
north and south of the present building or by the
erection of separate and distinct building, within
the enclosure to the east Of the building.
The committee do not desire to prescribe any
condition, that may restrain the free exercise of
architectural taste and judgment, but they would
prefer, that whatever plan may be proposed may
have such reference TO and correspondence with
the present building to preserve the general
symmetry of the entire structure when complete
Although but one plan can be adopted, the com
mttee reserve to themselves the RICH, to form such
plan by the adoption of parts of different plans
submitted, should such course be found necessary; in
which event, the committee also reserve TO them
selves the right to divide or apportion, according
to their own judgment, the amour, of premium 10
be awarded for the whole, to those whose plans
may in part be adopted, according to the relative
Importance and merit OF each part adopted.

EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN.
FINDER this title will be published, during the
u year 1850, twenty-four Portraits and Biographi-
cal Sketches OF American citizens who have become
lusrious in the service OF the country Every por-
ton of the work will receive the most careful aten-
ton, and nothing will be spared to render il worthy
mad enduring monument to the great men of he Re
public.
Mr.. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, "a collecting Portraits Tor National Gal
lery, and those which being engraved for this
work are believed TO be superior to any that have
ever been taken In the accomplishments of this great
object he has experienced the utmost courtesy and
encouragement from distinguished men Mr.. Brady's
reputation has been too long established to need any
recommendation. His daguerreotypes are in the
highest sense the works OF art, glowing with the soul
of the living conntenance.
The dra wings and engravings OF D'Avignon have
been pronounced by Europeans of taste to be fully
equal and in some respects superior to those Of the
best artists OF London and Paris and every i'm
preston in this Gallery will be taken under his i'm
mediate supervision. The Typography will be exc
cuted carefully and in as superb style as the en-
cravings themselves. The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper, is by % ,rches made
expressly for this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in its scope il
win therefore be comprehensive in its spirit. The
names of those men only admitted, whose talents
and public services have won for them honorable
fame throughout the nation. Each of the great de-
partments OF life Will have its representatives. Art
and Literature universal in their spirit, and the
Gallery is intended to be worthy and enduring mon
ument TO the great men of the Republic, whose
achievements and fame constitute the chief glory OF
the nation. We hope that every lover OF Art, and
friend of glorious Union, will respond to APP
peal for announcement and aid in so comrnendab bic
undertaking, that lis publication may make in
he progress of American Art, and by grouping the
iustrous men of the Union together, consolidate it
still more firmly.
AS no work OF this kind has appeared in America,
and the prices they sustain in Europe would place il
beyond the reach Of most OF our citizens the publish
ers have resolved to merit large circulation, by
charging very low price. They have, therefore,
established the following
