Tehall endeavor to give you # brief, but accurate, sketch of the actual state of political progress made in Italy at the moment | write; but you must remember that the progress is so rapid, that before this letter reaches you, the entire face of | things may be altered. | | Well, then, in the pontifical States, which, happily for | the progress of reform, occupy all the cuntral portion of this peninsular, the reform began with the of movements of the Pope ‘ Guard has been established, both in the capit provinces, on the most liberal principles. capable of bearing arms aro qualified to serve, but the | Inboring classes are only liable to be called out on emer- | gencies.

Hitherto that city has been occupied by the Austri'n troops. The right of Austria to keep & abn in the citadel, was conceded by the treaty of jenna, of 1815. But she insists that this right extended to the town itself, and has acted accordingly, seizing the guard houses and bserrecks, and placing her sentinels on the gates. This has, of course, produced great irritation on the part as well of his Holiness as of the people, Pro- tests and diplomatic notes have been interchanged, but n® *rrangement effected. At the moment that | write, we ear that God has done for us what man refused. ‘The Acwtrian troops at Ferrara have been struck with dysentery; Which has made such havoc among them, that the coc'Wmander, finding that he cannot man the posts, has been COmpelled to evacuate the guard houses and the barracks, 404 confine his troops to the citadel.

Th ticles from the Roman and Tuscan journals are copies to it, us well as those from the French and English. The King has signified to the Pope his inten- tion to aid him both with his army and navy, if he sbould see his independenge violated by Austria or any otner power. B..t, notwithstanding the known wishes of his people, no indication has been as yet given of the inten- tion to adopt any of the great political and administra- tive reforms which have been effected in the neighbor- ‘ing States. Nevertheless strong hopes are entertained that the time is not fur distant when these measures will be adopted in Piedmont. In the small. principality of Parma, and the larger one of Modena, no hope has yet been held out of progress. Stili less in that fine portion ef norihern Italy, the Milanese and Venice, which pine under Austrian des- potism. The population groans under the iron yoke ‘whi-h oppreases it, but the vast military resources com- manded by its ruiers, destroy all hope, for the present, of emancipation. In the south,the Nespolitan territory is in high insurre tion, including Sicily. The insurgents overrun the C: brias.and bave broken out and been suppressed alternat ly at various points of Sicily. A large portion of the terri tory is now under @ system of terror, and military execu- tiousare exhibited daily. Nothing can exceed the atroci- ties committed by the Neapolitan government. Rewards and honors are offered by public proclamation to all who shall be bese enough to betray the confidence which may be reposed in them by lnsurgeats. Persons of all ranks and conditions, ev pected of favoring the insurrection, are brought out at the caprice of the local military commanders in the provinces, and shot. The insurgents are, nevertheless, increasing in force and numbers. An engegement has just takem place in the southern pert of Calabria, near Greece, in which the royal troops were worsted—one hundred and forty men, in- cluding a colonel and fourteen officers being killed or After this affair the commander of the in- perromnamed- Rome sunt a to the commander of the royal troops, proposing an exchange of prisoners.

Its debut, however, gave itnome little eclut, It opened with a most liberal amnesty, extending to persons of all opinions, even to the Carlists.

The cantonal governments are now discuss- {og this peint, and the probability seems to be that, un less the cantons of the Sunderbond yield, there will be an inter-cantonal war. Lord Minto, a member of the British cabinet, has just visited this city, and has had a long interview with the President of the Diet. He pre- sents himself in a diplomatic capacity, though without formal credentials. and is, in fact, authorised to express to the Southern States of Europe the sentiments with which the British cabinet regurds their mutual rela- tions, and what policy it would follow in certain eventu- alities. With to the Swiss question, we have reason to think ee eenia's advice was that the demands made by the Diet on the cantons of the league should be moderated, so as to allow of a compromise — Thus the federal lature have demanded that the Jesuits be expelled from the whole federal territory.— This is, by man; the most liberal, thought to be an of attack on the liberty of conscience and freedom of wor- ship.

Constantinorie, September 14, 1847, Eprror or tHe N, ¥. Henan — We are atill here in a state of suspension in regard to our intercourse with Greece, and commerce suffers se- riourly from this. However, now that M.

This isa severe blow for French diplomacy here, and no doub; will be followed by @ favorable effect of the English in- fluence, The quarrel between the governments of Greece and Turkey, in which M. Coletti was more or less personally mixed up, will be more casily adjusted However, at the present moment, we are in a state, as relates Turkey, of quasi war. All diplomatic relations have been suspended. Envoy ministers have been mu. tually withdrawn, the exequators of consuls have been taken away and commerce is interrupted, and all this because King Otho so far forgot himself as to insult the Turkish Ambassador at a court ball, and then refused to apologise for his conduct. We are now told that a con- ference of (a from the great powers of Europe is to be held here to settle this difference by arbitration Ireland. From almost all parts of the country the accounts aro most Bloomy, a to the prospects of the approaching winter. In the aggregate, there is an abundance of food, but millions of the por tion, who had existed in for- mer years upon potatoes, are, or very soon will be, en- tirely destitute, unless sustenance can be provided for them by the poor-rate or employment. In fact,if prompt and energetic efforts be not made, the coming winter will be one of as terrible suffering as the last. There are, Tam happy to say, some indications of a spirit of energy and foresight amongst the resident gentry in various lo- oalities, to provide by remunerative employment such a calamity. The meeting of two agricultu: eties—those of Ballinasloe and North Wexfor ere held lately. At the former, Lord Clancarty teok # most sensible view of the condition of the landlords, farmers, and laboring classes, and urged the best and most prac- ticable remedial measures. At both societies, useful and remunerative employment for the winter and the spring, including the cultivation of fiax, was most ear- nestly urged, as the only legitimate mode of saving the proprietors from runious taxation, and the peasantry from famine. From the county of Kerry there are de- plorable accounts of distress.

We have re- ceived more precise information as to the amount of re- trenchment which the Governor General has determin- ed on effecting in the army. The Bengal reduotions, in. cluding one Queen’s regiment, will amougt to 80,000 men; in the Madras army, to 10,000 men, entirely from the native force; and in Bombay to 70,000 men, includ ing & Queen’s regiment. The total reduction in expense will snoans foe gum of about £1,160,000, which, with other additions to the credit budget, will this year re- lieve the finances to the extent of at least £1,730,000 These retrenchments, which the Governor General con- siders it safe at present to adopt. will, with the five per cent loan, about equalise the reveaue with the expendi- ture.

One Bombay commission house, however, that adheres steadily to its cotton ex porte, must this year have ized, from its shipments of about 65,000 bales, something like £12,000 for per centage only, The same house, it is sald, cleared from 6,000 varly bales on speculation about £10,000.

The policy of withdrawing them appears to have answered the expectations of Sir John Davis. The Chinese officials had since been re- markably courteous in their communications to our consul at Cavton, and te the Governor of Hong Keng. ‘Thus fat it would seem things are at length taking a fa- vorable turn, and confidence and commercial activit; would, it is hoped, be in some restored by thi time.

The old established Eaet India-hous Cockerell & Co. has suspended pay- ment, and although their liaoilities are understood to Be below what the public would generally have anticipated, they are still extremely large, the total being £600,000, of which £500,000 consists of acceptances. The stoppage is to be attributed to the simultaneous pressure for money in this country and in India, ger ited by the discredit which in times of difficulty is thrown upon houses which, like that of Cockerell, & Co., instead of drawing upon @ separate and independent firm, carry on their correspondence with a duplicate establishment. Of the £500,000 acceptances of the London house, it is, how- ever, satisfactory to learn that only £300,000 consiste of the draughts of the Caloutta house, the remainder being drawn by other parties, whose engagements may pos. sibly be protected. We have, at the same time, to add, (notwithstanding the right which the public, from past experience, have to distrust all statements of ‘a probable surplus on the part of a suspended firm,) that is is said by those who have investigated the accounts,.and whose opinion is in every respect entitled to weight, that there is, in the present instance, not only Teagon to hope for surplus, but also fora very considerable one. if such shall be the case, it will afford the most sincere gratifi cation to all parties, since there are few firms whose rtners are individually more esteemed.

The losses thus sustained have crippled native credit, and destroyed the confidence with which foreign- ers were wont to enter into large transactions with Chinese merchants, who are now hard pressed for the means of meeting their engagements. Amongst the bro- kers, too, with whom foreign goods are warehoused, some further instances of embezalement unknown in former times have recently occurred, and one commission house of some standing has discovered that no less than 500 bales of cotton have been pawned.

The liabilities of Messrs Watson, Brothers & Co, are placed at two hundred thousand pounds, and we regret to hear that Manches- ter, Glasgow, Leeds, and ovher of our leading manufao- turing towns, are likely to be —renee to 4 very in- couyenient extent by their unfortunate suspension They were among the most active of our merchants gaged in the orn trade, With these exceptions to the more cheerful demonstrations of the moment, the day passed over innocuously, and in a manner to afford strong hopes of an early and rel restoration of con- fidence. A meeting was held of parties interested in the affairs of Messrs, Giles, Son & Co. (in the corn trade) which stopped payment a short time since. The report subsequently current was, that there was every reason to hope, from an examination of the accounts, that the estate would be able to pay « dividend of from eleven to twelve shillings in the pound. This was regarded as redeeming feature in the character of the more recent occurrences in the trading world. The Liverpool letters, too, advise an easier condition of the money market in that town. Much of the paper founded upon contin tal corn operations had matured, and been duly paid. The issue of all that passed was the settling down of prices at nearly the extreme advance ofthe day. [From the London Observer.)

It is alvo said that a great num- ber of individuals, members of the Society of Friends, came voluntarily forward to place at tne disposal of Messrs, Guerney, Overend, & Co., the partners in which house are quakers, various sums of $2,000, £5,000, £40,- 000, £45,000, and £20,000, to aid them, should such aid be necessary, at the present crisis. [t may not be gen- erally known that this firm is one of the wealthiest in the world, and that they do business to the amount of £60,000,000 « year. The profits last year alone are stated to have been not less than £80,000. In connection with the stoppage of Messrs Sanderson & Co some absurd statements having been made reapeot- ing the house of Uverend, Guerney & Co , we have been requested to publish the following letter: — 4) Sir—A paragraph having appeared in the Observer ‘spaper, in whica our firm is mentioned as havin, ed assistance during this monetary crisis, we feel it incumbent om us to state that it ia @ gross falsehood throaghour, and to add, in justice to ourselves, and for An active movement Baron A. de Humboldt has left Berlin for Paris, to be aime ‘at the congress of naturalists.
