assurance of the Porte that kossuth, batthyani
NJ essaros, the two Perzels, and Asboth,. shall
still be detained at kutayeh The other fugi-

other account, ia a letter from Constantin0Pie
of March 25, says The Sultan has refused Ia
accede to the demands of Austria to exclude Nj
kossuth and seven Of his companions In exile
from the benefit of liberation, and the Austrian
minister referred to Vienna for fresh instruc-
tions.
IL is reported that NJ. de Messaros, who was
formerly here, had been appointed ambassado,
to the Court Of ST. James, and that he would sail
on board the Taft, the vessel which was to take

THE EXPEDITION TO CENTRAL AFRICA.
From the London .4then1um.
Letters from DR. Barth and DIR. Overweg have
been received by his excellency Chevaler Buns
by, by which we learn that up to October last
the travellers were still detained in the kingdom
Of Africa. My last communication (sec Athe.
niehm, No. j, 2, 3, p. 1880 gave an account OF
the difficulties and dangers which they had met
with on entering that country the inhabitants
of which had shown themselves hostile to them
so that their fate seemed entirely to depend on
the protection OF the Prince En-Nur, Sultan oi
the Kelves. This hopcd-for protection they
have been fortunate enough to secure, thOugh
it appears not to have been sufficient to insure
their safety beyond Tin Tellus, the residence OF
the prince, in consequence>of which they have
been obliged to forego the exploration OF the
country, and to remain with the prince. They
have, however. been enabled, while thus sta
tionary, to collect a good deal of oral intorma-
ton, especially respecting the tract of country
to the vest and south west Of Chat; which, in
stead Of being monotonous desert, proves to
be intersected by many fertile wadys, with plenty
of water. Among these novel features, not the
least interesting is lake between Chat and
Tuat, infested with crocodies. AT the date OF
DR.. Bartls letter, Ga October) the travellers
were on the point of setting out on an excur-
sion to Aghadcs, the capital OF Air; the new
sultan having promised them his protection, and
! the valiant son-n-law Of En-Nur accompanying
them on their journey. The latitude OF Tin
Tellus has been found to be l8. "a NJ; the lon
gitude had not been finally determined. The
rainy season lasts till September, and thunder
storms occur daily in the afternoon between two
and three o'clock, accompanied by q West wind
while at other times it blows from the East. II
seems yet uncertain when the expedition will bt
able to start for Lake Tchana.
MAZZINI, THE ROMAN PATRIoT-The conspi
rator Mazzini, as he was called, was for thirteen
years the marked man of European despolism
Had he dared to set his foot in his native Ge-
noa, or in any other spot of the land which had
exed him, death by the halter, or by the bullet
would have been his inevitable fate. In Aus
tria, in Russia, or in any otaer part OF eastern
Europe, his capture would have been paid for
by purses of gold. France, Switzerland, and
Engand, were the only countries that could re-
ceive the fugitive Now here, now there
watched prescribed. feared-he sllll pursued
his design, wandering myth of insurrecton
the very spirit of conspiracy incarnate. Wher-
ever plot against despotism was going on,
there was Mazzini, either by person or by cor
respondence sometimes to stir up. at other
times to repress, and inculcate prudence. Across
the Alps, all Italy looked to him young Italy,
that dared not speak his mare, thought OF him,
and prayed for him. At last neither Switzer-
land nor France would give asylum to such a
man; England alone could afford him refuge.
For some years accordingly, he was an inhabl-
tant Of London, poor, obscure Italian, as IT
seemed, earning livlihood by. literature The
great mass of the people he lived amidst knew
nothing about him. Sometimes his name would
appear in newspaper, coupled with calumny.
Sometimes in room one person would Whls-
per to another, "There is Mazzini and the eye
of the person so addressed, would rest, with
more or less Of interest, on the slight figure OF
man remarkable among "A thousand for the
burning keenness of his eye, and the intense
and earnest melancholy of his pale countenance.
Of those that knew him more intimately, we
never knew one that did not speak of him as
noble and true man; n man of irreproachabe
rectitude and the most exquisite sensibties !;
the very soul Of chivalry and honor. Even
those who disagreed with him in the whole
tenor of his speculatlons, and who were dis
posed to regard him as one misled by restless
enthusiasm that had nothing to do with facts, and
that facts would never acknowledge, admired
his indestructbe magnanmty and his heroic
perseverance. And over such rs were at one
time with him in political faith, his power amount
ed TO absolute fascination. They were never
tired Of talking of him, of seeing him, of listen
ing to him. They worshpped him with fer
vor all but religious.
THE CopYrSe ELECTRIC TELEeRAPu.--A trial
oeAIr. Bakewel's 1agirg electric telegraph was
made on "Wednesday list, the I'd inst, between
Brighton and London. An instrument at .he
central station of the Electric Telegraph Com.
pany in Lothburv, was placed in connec ton
with corresponding instrument at Brighton,
and communications in writing were opened be-
tween those stations. Several messages, which
were fac simiies of the writing applied to the
cylinder of the transmitting instrument, were
received In Iothbnrv in the presence of gentle
men connected with the telegrsphic' company.
The writing. for ed by electro chymical decom-
position, was distinctly legible, and the sigma
lures could be recognized. The ropidity with
which the transmission was effected, varied from
100 to $50 letters per minute,' according to the
size Of the writing and we understand that
Mr. Bakewell expects to accomplish more than
200 letters n minute, with single wire, when
the telegraph is in regular work. The messages
transmitted were written in full, with capitals,
point, and figures. but contrae'ions and even
shorthand symbols might be used. No manipu
lation is required to transfer the copies of writing
from one instrument TO the other at a distance
therefore this telegraphic correspondence is free
