had not been the cause OF his liberation Con-
fined in q cell next to his was William Madarasz,
imprisoned there for political reasons, to whom
he succeeded in communicating on a slip of
paper the particulars of his arrest aud unlawful
detention in prison. Madarasz, to whom, for
sanitary reasons, had been granted the privilege
OF visiting the bath-house every day, found an
opportunity to send this paper to the family Of
the American, who applied to the American
Consul at Vienna, and two days afterWard the
accused was brought before a court. Here he
was informed that there had been reas ms for
suspecting him to be Implicated in the Be-
nicZky affair, but as the suspicion had proved to
be groundess, they would acquit him, and he
was accordingly set free. In this manner was
an American citizen deprived for nearly whole
month OF his personal liberty, simply because
the Government chose to suspect him. Tue
victim of this persecution is, however, by no
means willing to let the natter end here and
he has applied for redress to his Consul, who
has promised to lend him all his assistance. To-
day he was ordered to appear before the Chief
Justice (Justiz Minlster), where, 1t is said,
pecuniary indemni6cation was offered him,
which he peremptorly refused to accept, not
being, fortunately, IN position that compels
him to sell his sense CT honor and justice for
few paltry florins. What gives q melancholy
interest to the whole proceeding is the fact that
the son OF the victim of this outrage, child OF
fourteen years, has, in consequence OF the
anxiety and distress over the fate OF his father,
been attacked by typhus fever, and Is now In
state which leaves but little hope TOR his
recovery.
The rupture of the negotiations between Prussia
and Holland relative to the navigation of the
Rhine appears to have caused some alarm in
Berlin, where the determination shown by the
Dutch Government in the matter is attributed
to its being secretly supported by France. The
point in dispute is whether the new invention
which it is proposed TO establish in place of
those now in existence, is to apply to the
whole of the river and Its tributaries, or
only to the streams on the other side
Of Gurkum and Dordrect. The Dutch Govern
ment considers that, the Merwede and the
Meuse being part of Holland, the navigation of
those rivers ought to be under its exclusive
control. This view is opposed, on behalf OF the
ZOllvele elm, by Prussia, who appeals to the last
Convention on the subject THAT of 1851, and
the treaty OF Vienna which stipuates that the
navigation of the Rhine shall be free to the sea.
AS this is the first occasion on which Prussia
has acted as the represent ative OF the Zoll-
vereip, 1t is believed that she will not allow
the matter to drop, but make further and
more urgent representations to Holland on the
subject
A Serious Riot i'm Greece
A somewhat serious riot has taken place at
Scio, in consequence OF the attempts of the
Turkish authorities to prevent a Hellenic de-
monstration got up by the Greek inhabitants on
the occasion of the birth of an heir to the throne
| of Greece. The disorder became so serious that
| the Governor found it necessary to call out the
troops, who, however we're received with vol
! leys OF stones by the mob, and quiet was only
restored by The Governor threatening to bonn
openly supported by the Greek Consul. Rem
| forcements have been sent to Scio 10 prevent q
renewal of the disturbances. The troops have
also been sent TO Scutari, the capital of Albania
! where several bloody conflicts have taken place
| between the Christians and the Mussulmans, in
which many lives have been lost. The cause OF
! the quarrel is the alleged desecraton by the
! Nussulmans OF the tomb OF Blo-Doda, the late
chief tt the Mirdites OF Albania.
Girardin and "La Liberte.''
One of the most eccentric articles that Emile
! de Girardin ever wrote appears In the Ll6e1te.
He says that the Emperor is the "oest- ten
toned" man in the world, but never knows
what he is doing, aud that is the reason why,
while the Emperor merits all praise, the empire
deserves all blame. The Emperor, he says,
| stupe6es himself with tobacco, and while he is
smoking he dreams" that France is great, aud
| that he is necessary to the greatness OF France;
| that he believes what those about him tell
! him, and fancies results which he intended
| achieved when they are not. Tue coup Getdt OF
| December 2 was totally unnecessary; but the
| Emperor risked it because lie bona fde believed
| that hecould do great things. But he was under
the means to achieve the things he dreams of,
aud TOO Jealous TO trust pow to great minis
ter There is mucL more to the same effect, but
this is the substance OF the whole article.
A GarIbaldian Demonstration in Italy.
The Italian Journals contain an account of a
GarIbaldian demonstration" at Palermo. A
leactionaIy paper of that CITY recently published
some insulting remarks upon Garibaldt which
| appear to have given great oifense to some OF
| the inhabitants. Accordingly, number OF eX-
Garibaldians and other persons proceeded tn
| the Office of the paper and raised vigorous
cheers for the General. together with shouts oi
| Death to the priests !" "Down with the Pope u
and so on. Some of the young men then entered
| the Office and meeting with no opposition upset
the types. seized all the copies OF the obnoxious
| publication they could find, and made them Into
| bonfire. Before the police came up the rioters
had terminated their demonstration and quietly
| dispersed
Russo sO-PrussO.AIIiance.
The Northeastern correspondent has just put
forth that the Emperor Alexander at his inter
view with King William at schwalbach, insisted
upon the necessity of close Russo.PrussC
alliance. While this intelligence is being propa
gated by paper destined for general circula
ton, the Lem6erg Gazette, Naradowa-an organ

countrymen of the writer. AS we learn trou
Russia at this moment Is endeavoring to pla,

cold shoulder on Prussia. The real state of th
case, then, is communicated tC the Poles in
version, prejudical to the bete nore Mt Berlin, i
propagated in French for the benefit OF tn
European pTese.
