Intervention. Etc. Etc, Etc
All over the continent, from Lisbon to St
Petersburg, the seeds of revolution are sown,
and fall upon fertile ground.
Russian Insurrection-NatiOn Arson.
The political agitation in Russia takes
most serious turn, which seems nearly inexpli-
cable to civilized common wealth. Arson is
spreading with fearful rapiditJ throug hout the
country. In St. Petersburg, the business part
of the capital has been destroyed by fire.
Cherikov, Borovich and Odessa are in flames.
The torch of incendiaries Is as active in Russia
as it was in France in 1929 Tens of thous ands
have suddenly been whirled from respectable
position into the depths of poverty. The En-
peror, in despair about such an unexpected
mania, has had martial law proclaimed against
the incendiaries, who, strange to say, find apol-
ogists among the educated classes.
"An Awful Army AwfulIy Arrayed Bold
ly by battery Besiege BeIgr ade.'
Daily conflicts at Belgrade between the gar
rison of the Turkish fortress and the Serb pop
ulation led, on the 10TH to serious conflict, in
which the Turks were expelled from the town
and the fortified gates fell into the power of the
people. Though the losses were comparatively
small, thirteen Serbs and two Turks being
killed, both parties became most intensely ex-
cited. The Turkish garrison mutined against
the Pashs, who attempted in vain to calm their
agitation; and on the 18th the town was bonn
barded though the Consuls of all the European
powers had solemnly protested against such an
act of wanton cruelty. Garashanin, the Serb
President of the Council, called the militia of
the neighboring counties to the aid of the cap
ital, and though the dght was stopped on the
18th, it is scarcely possible that the agitation
should subside. France and Russia now take
up the quarrel, and even Austria fears lest the
conflict might lead to a confagration of the
Slayonisn provinces of the Turkish empire.
Protest Against the BOmbar rdment.
The Oriental affairs grow every day more
serious. Though Belgrade is connected by
wire with all Europe, we have no more details
about the bombardment of the town. Egi-
IDENTIFY the information is kept back by the
Austrian government. We know only that
the Minister Garashanin has summoned the
country people TO assemble in arms Al Bel
grade; that an attack upon the fortress was
expected, but that the Sultan, aware of the
danger, ordered at once conciliatory measures
to be adopted. Asheer Pasha, the commander
of the citadel, has been dismissed, and an in
quest into the late events Is preparing. 1t is
said that Mr.. Longworth, the English consul
at Belgrade, advised the Pasha to act with
energy, though all the other consuls had pro-
tested against the bombardment of the town.
TheReturn Of Garibaldi-Ratazzi-N
leon Keeps ROme-Papal AItocutton and
French Ptiests.
Garibaldi was here yesterday. He is fall of
hope, though the government, obeying the in
structions from the Tulleries, tries to induce
him to return to Caprira, and to give up any
idea of an attack upon Austria or Turkey.
Ratazzi however, is himself in most difficult
position, since Napoleon has no intention of
evacuating Rome for the sake of Italian unity.
He cannot afford to lose the support of the
priests in France, and the late allocution of
the Pope and the address presented to him by
the Bishops have increased the zeal of the
French clergy in favor of the temporal
power. s-lao .aas-r lis y
Austria Borrows--The RothschiId's
Lend.
Austria has at length succeeded in
negotiating a loan of forty millions of dollars
with Messrs. RothscLild, and the Credit Mo
bilier of Vienna, which keeps her above water
until the new year. Ifshe yields to the claims
of Hungary, she may restore her credit and
improve her paper currency. r
Recognition OF Italy by Russta--Garf.
baldi yeiled--Poor Austria!
Garibaldi has suddenly returned to Caprera
to the grest relief of the Ministers and diploma
lists. Whether he has given up, at present. al
plans of any new expedition, or whether b
continues to prepare for participation in tb,
| Oriental struggle, remains to be seen. Russil
being on the point of recognizing Italy, tn
General was requested by the King and Cabi
net to eclipse himself for atin1e, and he proved
as always, too loyal not to comply with tn
desire Ratazzi looks upon that recognition
as an event of the greatest importance, sine,
it would soon be followed by the recognition
I of Prussia and several minor German Court
dependent upon Russia, SIS for instance Badel
and WuItemberg. Thus Austria, becomin,
still more isolated, might be induced to com
to terms about Venetia. The Italian Minister
who has not inherited Cavour's genius, wa
even mean enough in order to ingratiate him
self with Russia, to dissolve the Polish militar
school, lately established at Guneo, under th
direction of den. Visotzsky. ys4 t7sa,--ag
