The Swirs National Gazette of the 8th has the fol- lowing, under the head of Lugano, the 6th :— “Piedmontese refugees who arrived at Chaasa bave announced that the Pidmontese General, Olieviri, had seized on all the power at Milan in the name of Charles Albert, and had put an end to the measur defence of the republican committee, declaring th: the communications in the interior of the city, where barricades were being raised, should remain free, in order thrt the artillery should not meet with any ob- stacle. outside the town. On the evening of the 4th the ad- vance guard of the Austrians appeared before the Ko- man gate : they were received with cannon shots, and driven back to Malignano. The Italians made 200 prisoners, and took two pieces of cannon. This ad- Vantage s0 much encouraged the Italians, that they declared traitors to their country whoever should peak of capitulation. But Charles Albert was of a Aifferent opinion, asin the night of the 4th he capitu- lated on the following conditions :—That the Pied- montese army should retire; that life and property should be recured to the inhabitants. The people then revolted, and a number of buildings outelde the walls, which might impede the defence, were de- molished. In the morning of the Sth the enemy did not appear. Suspicions were conceived; « crowd collected in front of Charles Albert’s hotel; and he declared from his balcony that the capitulation had been re- fused by Radetzky, and that be would defend the town to the justextremity. Soon after Oliviert came, and declared that the King could not hold the town any longer, and had arrived at the conclusion of eapitula- ting. The pecple, infury, wanted to seize on Charles Albert. ‘The men in attendence on him were cut to Pieces; Charles Albert, on his side, had the people fired on by the Picdmontese, and two of the inhabitants weie killed. Other inhabitants declared in favor of the eapitulation,and were killed. The people would not rubmit. Chailes Albert had the caunon removed from the walls. Every one was allowed to quit the city; several went away. At the end of its report the Me: ublicain adds :—The remor prevails that the people at jart reized on Charles Albert, but that does not agree with the following postreript.

For this reason Lord Palmerston is of opinion that, in toopen serious negotiations with the Aus- | trian Cabinet, it is necessary to have recourse to th proposition for peace which Austri: was the first to make two months since. These propositions were that Austria, while preserving the Venetian provinces 8 the left bank of the Adige, should recognize political independence of Lom! ‘eat on the latter giving an engagement to take on itself a part of the | debt of the imperial treasury, Although these propo- | sitions were put forward by Austria when she was | placed in a much more unfavorable position than she | ts at present—that is to ray. at atime when the Sar- | dinian army threatened to force the line of the Adige, and when the greater part of the Venetian towns were | freed from Austrian rule—yet Lord Palmerston is | strongly in favor of making them the basis of the pro- ported negotiation for the conclusion of a treaty of peace between the belligerent parties. | “At the same time that the ae of Lord Palmers- | tom reached Paris, a telegraphic dispatch was receiy- | ed, announcing that the remains of the Piedmontese army. under the Duke of Savoy. had met with a com- The | Plete defeat under the very walls of Milan. Whatever may be the heroic resistance of the inhabitants of Mi- | lan, it is to be feared that it must soon fall if the con- clusion of an armistice be not hastened. But Marshal Kadetxky, emboldened by his successes, will not con- | fent to an armistice until he shall be convinced that the propositions made to his government by France | and England will be favorably received at Vienna. “In consequence, a council of ministers, assembled Jas evening, under the Presidency of Gen, Cavaignac, came to the decision to adopt the proposed arrange: ment of Lord Palmerston, and according to which the | line of the Adige will be guaranteed to Austria if she conrents toabandon Lombardy. Jt is in this sense that imetructions have been fent off to the French agents at Vienna and at Turin, in order to get the promptest acceptance by the belligerent parties of the conditions of Anglo French mediation.” FRENCH NATIONAL ASSEMBLY—SITTING OF AUG. 10.

Sr. Perexssuren, July 31 From & late number of the Military Medical Gazette it appears that since the appearance of the epi- demic in Russia there were setzed at St. Petersburgh, from its first appearance, the 30th of June, to the Zist of July, 19.772 persone, of whom 4834 recovered aod 11,068 died. In the whole of Russia, since the firet ap- pearance of the cholera, the 28th of October, 1846, to the Sth of July, 1848. 200,318 persons were seized with the epidemic, and 116,658 died. On the 28th of July there were at St. Petersburgh 2396 cholera cases. In the course of the day 137 fresh cases occurred; 211 recovered and 82 died, 45 of whom were in their own dwellings On the 29th, there were 2240 sick—132 new cases; 158 reecvered and 68 died. On the 20th there remained 2116 cases under treat- ment, Posen. The Kolner Zeitung has a letter from Posen of the 5th inst., stating that a case of Asiatic cholera occur- redin that city. The patient—-a woman—was at once transported to the cholera hospital, where it is assert. ed she is doing well, and likely to recover. Cholera hospitals have. by order of the government, been pre- pared in all Prussian towns and large villages, and every care is taken tolessen the horrors of the ap- proaching pestilence An Extraordinary Scene in the German Pare Mament. On Monday, the 7th inst , the German Parliament was the theatre of one of those disgraceful scenes which are scarcely of a nature to consolidate that Utopian unity so loudly proclaimed in the German journals, ana in this instance but too likely to widen ‘the breach which already exists between the Prussian and German factions, as they are now styled. The order of the day was the discussion of the report of the committee on the petitions for a general amuesty. The election of Hecker, who raised the standard of revolt in the Duchy of Baden, of the Chamber of which he was a member, formed a part of the discussion, he being included’ in the proposed amnesty. Hecker and his companion, Struve, are at the present moment fomenting new disorders on the Swiss borders, M. Wiepermann, the reporter of the committee, read the report, and after alluding to the criminality of Hecker, (during which he was often interrupted by the left,) concluded by saying, that it would be time enough to think of an amnesty when the laws had been established by the National Assembly ona firm and permanent footing. Many would try to move them on the principle of pity. But what was pity in such a case as the present? This was not the time for wasting pity on individuals, whose cause at best was disclaimed by the nation at large; if they showed pity, it should be for the whole of Germany. This was the grand feeling of sympathy that should actuate them. [Cheers.] Von Soinon, the acting vice-president, read a num- ber of new motions bearing upon the subject under discussion, among which was one ef Simon’s to the effect “that the National Assembly prevail upon the different governments to grant a general amnesty as speedily ax possible.” [Noise in the galleries, which was warmly rebuked by Soiron.) Irzstx1x concluded along speech with the following words :—“ He regarded it the duty of the National Assembly immediately to proclaim a political amnesty fer all Germany.” [Cheers from house and gallery,] Von Soinon again rose, and requested that this im- portant question might be @iscussed with becoming dignity, und peremptorily forbade any manifestations from the gallery. Hace (of Heidelberg) supported Simon’s motion on historical grounds. Hecker’s motives might have | been well intentioned. The National Assembly itself i was the result of revolution. Senoven, of Wurtemberg, said that to grant a gene- ral amnesty at the present moment would be the height | of imprudence, and to include aman like Hecker would | be awarding a premium for high treason. ‘Siow then rose in support of his motion. He said that the amnesty demanded was for the ehampions of | the people; they did not ask it for the Metternichs who were feasting on their estages, but for the people who were pining in dungeons—[loud cheers from the galle- ries. This was the first outburst of the storm that fol- lowed. The Vice President commenced ringing his | bell, and threatened to have the galleries cleared—a | threat which was received with ironical laughter by tome members of the left, upon which Soiron called upon that portion of the Assembiy to give an example tothe rest Simom contimued for some time, and sat down amidst great uproar.) Various members respectively addressed the Assem- pai last of all Brentano, who brought the storm to a climax by saying, “ Shall the National Assembly allow | the revolutionists of Baden to stand on a less favorable footing than a Prince of Prussia?’ (alluding to the de- parture from and return of the Prince to Berlin ) (The tumult that ensued is indescribable.

There can be no doubt as te the result of this petty ir, (between the American settlers and In- dians) for, we understand, that the American popula- tion of Oregon hus already reached 10,000, and is every 86 8 day increased by new arrivals from the States It is this large and increasing popul hich has ren- dered, in every point of ¥ . the settlement w, di of the Hadson’s Bay,and Pu, position in the territory; and i fect this settlement, that Si Finjayson lately visited Wasl we believe, been altogether satisfactor; every reason to hope its object will be ed; but, as our United States contemporart published entirely erroneous accounts of the nature of the negotiations— representing them as leading toa sale of certain territory in Oregon, by the Hudson’ Bay Company to the United States—und as these roneous views have been copied and commented upon by come of our Canadian journals, we propose giving, from documents kindly furnished to us, a concise statement of the real matters and interests involved; which, a8 might have been taken for granted, do not embrace any transference of territory, but merely the abandonment by the companies in question, and the purchuee by the United States, of certain possessory rights—farms, lands, and other property—held by them within the United States territery, as settled by the sreaty of 1846, By that treaty, it may be remembered, that the United States’ government guaraatee, res- pectively, to the Hudson’s Bay and Puget Sound Com- panies, the posression of ali their forts, farms, lands, flocks, herds und other property, on the north ‘side of the Columbia River and south in latitude 49°, And this, without any stipulation as to the allegiance of the parties thus hdiding extensive tracts of land, within the sovereignty of the United States, This clause in the treaty, it will at once be seen, placed the com- mpson and Mr. ‘This visit has, d there is panies and the United States’ government, to whem they owed no allegiance, in a very ano- malous position, and was, therefore, accompanied with the following proviso, which, it appears te us, sbould have been absolute ‘and not op- tional on the part of the sovereign power, to whom the territory was ceded. The proviso was to the effect that, | in case the situation of those farms and lands should be considered, by the United States, to be of public and politicalimportance, und the United Siates govern- ment shouid signify'a desire to obtain possession of the whole, or of any part thereof, the property should be transferred to ihe said government, at a proper valua- tion to be agreed upon between the’ parties. Now. though those poseessions comprise some of the most valuable portions of the territory, both in a commercial and agricultural point of view, although their reten- tion in the hands of foreign chartered companies can searcely fail to be distasteful, not to use a stronger term, to the American governmwnt, and although they have already exeited a degree ef jealously and. ill-will on the part of the American citizens in the Oregon ter- ritory, which, there is every reason to fear must be li ly to become more inveterate and ultimately lead to serious difficulties between the two countries, the Uni- ted States government have not, as yet, adopted any steps.to take advantage of the proviso in the treaty, abovementicned, by which, and by which alone, all these threatened difficulties may be avoided. Under these circumstances, the Hudson’ s Bay and Paget Sound Companies hate, through the British. foreign secretary, thought it advisable to take the initiative in the mutter, by calling the attention of the United States executive to the facts of the case, and suggest- ing the wisdom and expediency of their purchasing theee anomalous rights, upon the basis of the proviso, s0 often alluded to. This, then, is the object of the negociations mentioned by our United States contem- poraries, which, we trust, will be brought to an amica- ble conclusion, and which, it will se seen, involve no transference whatever of any territorial’ rights, but merely the sale of private property, situated in a foreign territory, but belonging to British subjects. Tose, and all spoke at once, each trying to clevate his voice to ahigher pitch than his neighbor. Amidst the universal uproar the tinkling of the Vice President's | beil was scarcely audible. Soiron stamped and shouted | for order. but in vain, and finally demanded that the | fpeaker should repeat his words, for otherwise he was not in a condition to call him wo order. This only in- creased the tumult. The Prussian deputies rushed towards the rostrum, and clenched fists were visible in numbers; a scufile was imminent. At this juncture Soiron, in despair, put on his hat and left the Assem- bly. Brentano maintained his position in the rostrum.

He then replied, by | anticipation, té'most of the arguments which would be urged against it, and showed that it was neither un-English nor unmanly, and that it would not de- stroy the legitimate influence of property.

The accounts must, however, be received with rk great caution, as there is good reason to apprehend that the disposition is rather to overrate than underrate the extent to which the potato crop has been yet injured ‘This tendency is easily accounted for, when it is considered that both the producers and in- terchangers have their interests more closely allied with rising rather than with falling mar- kets. It is scarcely necessary to add, that there is another class of persons with whom we are daily brought in more direct contact, who are interested chiefly in referer ce to the effect which may be prodaced on what is called the money market, to whom fore- knowledge of events is always of great importance. ‘The market for public securities this morning has been heavy, without much business doing, the brokers and jobbers being chiefly engaged in settling their accounts. Consols opened at 86%;, but afterwards receded to 86% 34. Some sales of stock by the broker who usually acts for the bank, have since further depressed the market, and they are now quoted 86 to 3g for money, andy 4 for account; reduced three per cents 86°; 14; three and a quarter eng cents 8734, 674; bank stock 19734, and India 243.

Liverroon Corton Manxet, Fridi limited demand has prevailed during all the present The advices from the United States continue to hold out the prospect of an early and abundant crop; and although its extent is so contingent upon weather and other circumstances as to throw great doubt upon any estimates formed at this carly season, yet they have their influence upon hajders here, an for some time past the quantity offering has been large.

The hope which the few fine experienced, to- wards the close of the last week gave rise to, that the weather was about to become settled, has been dirap- pointed, scarcely a day having passed since Monday without heavy rain.

Our prospects are conse- quently somewhat gloomy just now, and nothing but really fine eetticd wenther can allay the feeling of un- easiness now generally felt in regard to the future supply of bread stuffs, The reports as to the yield of the wheat to the acre, from thore districts where reaping has made the greatest progress, are not very encouraging, and on the whole there is little chance of alow range of prices consequent on an abundance of home produce, ‘That the value of wheat may not hereafter be depressed by large importations, we are not eo certain; but whilst we iook upon a low range of quotations, when caused by internal plenty, a8 a great blersing to the country, the experience of the last two years has afforded « pretty plain proof of the derangement which a drain of gold to pay for foreign corn may subject usto, Within the jast few weeks a good many orders to bay wheat and Indian corn have been transmitted abroad, and rather heavy importations may be expected, in the autumn particularly, of the last named article, The wheat trade has throughout the week maintained a decidedly firm tone, and the tendency of prices has been steadily uy ward At Liverpool. on ‘Tnosday, the transactions were not vere extensive; bnt the husiners done Was at rete per 70 ibe whove there euriemt om thet day week © dian corn wees" on the terms, owing ole see > proc at the rates of the provisige eaisues any, was easier to bay; and flour was also somewhat cheaper.

On Wednesday there was scarcely anything beyond what was left over from the previous market day; but the morning proving fine, less disposition was shown to purchase than in the beginning of the week, and some difficulty was experienced in realizing the ad- yanced rates of Monday. ‘The heavy showers which fell subsequently caused factors to display additional firmness on Friday; and though the millers were again cautious in their ‘operations, the turn was rather against the buyer. ‘The supplics of Wheat from abroad have not been large of late ; during the week now about to close 14, 2 qrs, were received at this port, principally from tht Baltic Importers are not paying duty on the freslz arrivals, and the stock of free Wheat is daily becoming diminished. Having had but few country bayers at market, and our ewn millers having purchased spar: ingly, the operations in free foreign Wheat have not been extensive ; holders have nevertheless displayed great firmness, and the finer kinds have been placed im retail at prices relatively higher than those at which ales of English have been made. ‘There was not muck doing in bonded Wheat on Wednesday, but since then. the inclination to speculate has increased, and a good many bargains have been closed at prices not more than 63, to 7s. per qr. below those at which similar qualities of free might have been bought, showing that @ material reduction in the duty is looke bee: Polish Odesa to arrive has commanded 403. to 428. Baltic red, 458. up to 50s. per qr., cost and freight, for fine Rostock. The duty is at present 9s. but is likely to receda to 8s. next week, and to a much lower point later in the year. ts The top quotation of town-made flour has not vari- edas yet; but unless a reaction occurs in prices of wheat, the millers will have to advance the former ar- ticle next week. Ship flour has been generally held for rather more money, and barrels were certainly dearer at the close than in the beginning of the week. Barley of home growth has come sparingly to hand, nor have the arrivals of this grain from abroad been by any means large; factors have consequently demanded full terms ; and though the inquiry has not boen par- ticularly active, the turn has been in favor of the feller. “Moderately good qualities pf foreign have-re- alized 258 to 26s, and the best sorts 263 to 23s per qr. duty paid.

On Wednesday factors were not disposed to accept former terms for the finer qualities, aud the dealers refusing to pay any advance, the operatiens were unimportant. On Friday the demand improved, and the best qualities realized 6d per qr more than in the beginning of the week. Beans have met with very little attention ; but the quantity of English on the market being trifling, full terms have been insisted on. Alexandrian beans have been offered freely at former rates, without meeting with many buyers. The increasingly unfavorable re- ports respecting potatoes have again given an impetus to the demand for peas, and the article has commanded rather over Monday’s currency. The recent rise im the value of Indian corn has caused the inquiry to fall — and very few bargains have been closed this week, Most of our letters from the Baltio allude to the certainty of hostilities being immediately recom- menced between the Danes and Prussians. This would, it was feared, greatly interfere with trade, ag the first step of the Danish government would, it wae expected, be to blockade the Baltic port: t Danzig a tolerable extent of business appears, however, to have been done, and though the supplies down the Vistula had been large, prices had rather advanced than receded.

Arrests continue to be made in town and country nd 'y warrants have been issued for the appre- b ion of suspected persons. Sevsral Americans have fallen under the suspicion of the government, and some of them have been taken into custody. No additional intelligence has been obtained of the fugitive leaders, Meagher and Doheny. Rumors were industriously circulated that they had succeeded in effecting an escape from the country. Advices from Cork state that it is the intention ef Mr. John O'Connell to take ap his permanent resi- dence in London, fer the more eMcient discharge of his duties as @ director of the National Bank. The hon. gentleman, it is stated, means to retire altogether from polities. It would have been well had he adopted this prudent course years ago.
