SETS. &e, be. &e, ‘The American mail steamship Hermann, Cap+ tain Crabtree, was telegraphed at four o’clock, yesterday afternoon. She was boarded by the newspapers’ special despatch steamer Newsboy, and the parcels for the New York Herald were brought immediately to the city and delivered at this office. Our thanks are due to Captain Crabtree, for stopping his steamer, for the Newsboy, and having our parcels ready for instant delivery. ‘The Hermann sailed from Southampton, Eng- land, on the 20th ult., at four o’clock in the after- noon, nearly five days after the departure of the America from Liverpool. She left Bremen on the 15th ulumo, and remain- ed at Southampton three days, as usual, to em- bark passengers and cargo. The Hermann has made an excellent voyage of + fourteen days, having discharged her pilot out- side the Needles, about 6 P. M., on the 20th. She brings 85 first class, and 60 second class passengers, and about 270 tons measurement of cargo, principally consisting of silks and valuable manufactures, raw silk, English cottons, woolens, haberdashery, jewelry, watches, opium, and about $25,000 in specie. SUMMARY OF THE NEWS. The steamship United States, captain Hackstafl, was at Southampton, undergoing repairs to her machinery. We learn that these repairs were pro. gressing favorably, and that she would be ready to leave Southampton about the 10th of October, with a large freight and a good many passengers for this city. The steamship Indus left Southampton docks by the same time tide as the Hermann. She car nied out to Alexandria the East India and China mails,'despatched by the British Government. The steamship Cambria, Captain Harrisoa, was to leave Liverpool for Boston on Saturday, the 23d September. The Britannia, from Boston, arrived at Liver- pool at3 A. M. on the 20th, but her advices had not been published in London when the Hermann sailed. ‘The Hermann has brought our regular files of German, French and English papers of the latest dates, as well as our usual despatches from our special correspondents in London, Liverpool, Pani: and the continental cities, and we extract there~ from ahasty summary of the intelligence, which 1s of considerable importance. The position and state of the disturbed districts of Ireland, were again exciting much attention in England, as rebellion again appears to have broken out in that unhappy island. Our last advices received by the America, re- presented that the rebels, in strong force, were occupying the Comeragh mountains in the county of Waterford. Shortly after the departure of the America it appears the insurgent forces moved from these mountains, and that a force consisting of portions of the 3d Buffs, 4th Light Dragoons, and 883d Regiment were despatched in pursuit. Mr. O Mahony was nearly captured. The insur- gents committed some excesses in the country through which they passed. The main body had broken up into small detachments, and it was sup- posed they would adopt a system of Guerilla war- fare vhich would, of course, be paiticularly harras- sing to the government troops, dur ing the inclement winter season approaching. The Tvmes corres- | pondent, writing from Clonmel, stated that the rebel army was under command of six men, dress- edin uniforms of green and gold. The trade of Dublin was in a very bad state, arising from the continued agitations of Ireland: The latest accounts represent, that although dis. turbances are expected at various points, yet no actual collision between the rebels and the mili- tary or police had taken place. Our accounts from Paris represent that that ca- pital was outwardly tranquil, although an under current of extreme agitation and uneasiness was perceptible, arising principally from the elections. Strange to say, Prince Louis Napoleon Bona- parte’s name was once more in the ascendant, and it was more than likely that he would be elected for Paris. The army had declared for him, and his name headed the poll. The (favorites were Napoleon, E. Adam, Fould, the banker, Marshal Bugeand, Delessert. It was supposed that the Prince Louis, M. Achille Fould, and Marshal Bugeaud, would be the successful candidates. | Genere! Cavaignac was gradually declining in popularity, and his early tall from the dictatorship of Paris is predicted by many of the English and some of the French papers. Who will succeed him, or what will soon take place in Paris, is hard to determine. The royalist party was strong in where The occurred. socialist party i apital were gathering strength, and had - commenced public agitation again, by exhor- | tations in the streets, and by the meeting of - elubs—in truth of which, we notice that a mob of _ the red republicans took possession of the Bourse and, by main force, drove out a large meeting of moderate ele ctors, who where congregated there. This circumstance caused great excitement. The National Assembly was still occupied in discussing the new stitution. The latest prices of the French Funds were as follows :—Three per Cents, 44f. 75 Five per Cents, 69f. 25c ; New Loan, 72t. 50c. Our Italian news is of considerable interest. After the city of Messina had been bombarded for five days ky the Neapolitan troops, it surrendered. The Neapolitan troops landed and took possession of the town, when the mhabitants immediately retired, having previously mined it. They then sprung the mines, and a large number of Neapoli- tan soldiers were blown into the atr with the bura- ing ruins. Property to an immense amount was destroyed during the bombardment. ‘The city of Palermo had not been taken, and the inhabitants were animated by a spirit of resistance towards the Neapolitans most uncompromising. It 18 stated that the success of the King of Naples, in gaining possession of Messina, is ouly a temporar advantage, and there isno doubt his forces will sral minor disturbances | in the | signal for hostilities to be renewed with in creased vigor. The Sardinian army was 100,000 strong, and the French army of the Alps consisted of 120,000 men, in the highest possible discipline. On the other hand, the Austrians had not been idle, but had received considerable reinforce- ments; and, therefore, if terms conld wot be ar- ranged, Lombardy would soon be the theatre of a devastating warfare, and the peace of Europe en- dangered. ; The Sardinian fleet had qmtted Venice, and the Austrian fleet immediately sailed from Trieste, it was supposed to attack Venice. This would much complicate the mediation of France and England with Austria. ; Itogether, from the tenor of our various letters, war in Italy appeared unavoidable, as Austria was not disposed to surrender Lombardy, now in its possession. 7 2 Tbrahim Pasha ‘had arrived at Constantinople, for fhe purpose of being invested with the sove- reignty of Egypt. The cholera was raging at Con- stantinople, and a anotner fire had occurred, de- stroying upwards of 200 houses. ‘ There 1s nothing very new from Spain.

The Latest Intelligenee by Matl. Vienna has been declared in a state of siege, and it was reported that the Empsror of Austria would again be forced to seek safety’in flight. __ Peace between Denmark and the German Con: federation is rendered certain, by the Frankfort Diet having rejected an amendment for rejecting the armistice. King Charles Albert Was preparing to bombard his refractory city of Genoa. . ‘ The election of Prince Louis Napoleon in Paris was next to certain. Hehad actually been return- ed for Moselle. Raspail would also be returned. Everything, therefore, from Paris is looking loomy. The 12th regiment, in consequence of jiscontent, had been ordered away from the capi- tal; and instructions had been forwarded to the army of the Alps for a division to be held ready to march at a moment’s notice. 5 ; Simce the departure of the America the Liver- pool cotton{market had not improved ; sales on the 18th, 4,500 bales; on the 19th, 3,500 bales. Market sluggish. The Manchester markets were flat, buyers shewing a decided disinclination to enter into fresh engagements. The London corn market was better—the sup- lies of grain gencrellys during the week, having aca limited. Atthe Corn Exchange, Mark Lane the millers bought new wheats at an advance o one to two shillings per quarter. Foreign wheat maintained anadvance of one shilling per quarter. Barley was languid of sale, and down one_shil- ling aquarter. Beans and peas unchanged. Flour hrm. At Liverpool, corn had not risen, but was firm im price. The demand for Indian corn had re- vived, and as very little was offering, the slight ae of the previous week had been fully recov- ered. Sugar was depressed in price in the Mincing Lane market, and a further decline of 6d. per ewt. ae dull. Coffee heavy. Tallow firm. Rice steady. There had been very little variations in the mo- ney market, or in the price of English government securities, the latter had been firmly supported. 3 per cent consols, for money, were 86 to 86}—for account 86} to 86}. Reduced 3 per cents 86. New three and a quarter per cents 86. Exchequer bills for June, 24 to 27 premium; do. for March, 32 prem. India bonds, 28 to 29 prem. Railway shares after having been depressed in price to the lowest quotations ever known, had be- come slightly firmer, but the business done was small and no great confidence manifested. In Foreign Bonds no alteration. Exchanges on Hamburg and Holland higher, on Paris lower. p THE DETAILS OF THE NEWS. Lonpon, Sept. 19, Tuesday—8 P. M.

A slo9, rent to lay close to the spot, with some ox divers on board, in the may yot be saved, We have had quite a scone here, relative to the system adopted by some persons, of recommending emigration to the United States, It seems that a com- mittee of people have taken it into thair heals to do all they can to promote emigration to North Amorica and the adjacent parts, thinking the scheme would bs advantageous to those leaving the country, as wll as contributing to our comfort here by thinning the sur- plus population. This,properly carried out, might hare answered very well; but, unfortunately. these persons have fixed upon married men, and, in some cases, absolutely persuaded them to emigrate,and leave thuit families in England. They have even been more silly in their operations, by confining the selection almost exclusively to people who have once been in prison. To such an extent has the system been carried, that the wives and families of several men, who havo left England, have applied to our Local magistrates to know how they are to live, now that the chief means of their jupport have been taken away. The magistrates have severely censured the proceedings of this wise com- mittee, and likewise Informed them that they will place themselves ini an unenviable position if they continue operations. AMr. Jackson is the party who attends to receive these admonitions. A more stupid and in- sane mode of action could scarcely be thought of, than the proceedings of this emigration committee, A fracas between a present and late member of Par- liament, has a little served to keep people on the move in London. Mr. Craven Berkeley (one of that nu- merous brood of Berkeleys who are always quarreling with themselves or other people.) was at the last gene- ral election returned as the repr ive of Chelte’ ham; but so clear were the proofs of bribery and cor- ruption, that the defeated candidate petitioned against the return of his opponent. As is customary in cases of the kind, the case was referred tp @ 2ommittee of five gentlemen, selected from the House of Commons, who, after a tedious inquiry into the allegations, de- cided that there were palpable evidences of bribery and Screay laa and that Mr. Craven Berkeley could not be allowed to take his seat—neither would they per- mit his opponent to have the vacant seat, considering him as bad as his adversary. This decision irritated nas Down perienced ope that some of the cargo the naturally fiery temper of Mr. Berkeley, who. when a few days after addressing his late constituents, de- ny. taced the tribunal as unjust, &c. &c.—called them collectively @ set of humbugs, and individually, pro- ceeded iske such ungentlemanly remarks that the matter we allucted to seriously in the House. Yester- day Mr. Crayen botkeley wrote to the chairman of the committee, expressin contrition for his conduct, and thus the matter ends, Mr. Berkeley, as usual, coming off but very insignificantly in the encounter. The cessions at the Old Bailey in London commenced yesterday, althongh the proceedings have been of a formal character, To-day they begin in earnest — ‘The calendar is heavy, numbering something like 170, out of whos there aré 31 Chartists to be tried. These numbers refer exclasively to this district. I do not suppose any of these one and thirty riotous gentle- men will be placed at the bar fora day or two, it bein, usual to dispose of the ordinary cases first ; not that would invest our chartistical brethren with anything extraordinary, except it be a tendency to insanity. Some of the supposed principals concerned in the late barbarous murder’ of the policeman at Ashton, are now being tried in that town; but by the time I must close my letter, there is no possibility of our learning the result in London. Mr. Fergus O'Connor is, a8 your readers know, the member for Nottingham; consequently he called, yes- terday, @ large meeting of the working classes of that town, in order that he might “render to them an account of his stewardship,” and likewise know if it was their pleasure he should represent them again in Parliament. The honorable member made a very long, and not by ar means A bad speech; except now and then, when he burst forth into his usual declamatory style, calling, for instanee, the entire body of the House of Commons a “set of rogues.” It’ was not stated by Mr. O’Connor, at the time, whether he in- cluded himse robably this was left tothe imagina- tion of his h rs. At the conclusion of his speech he was loudly cheered, and, in accordance with the spirit of the meeting, unanimously re-elected. The Hermann has had a fine run from Bremen, with ninety-eight passengers and a valuable cargo from Hayre. She arrived at Southampton yesterday, and leaves for New York to-morrow, with the large number of 160 passengers. The corn market is rather tight, very little activity being visible. The official list speaks of an advance of 1s. over iast week’s prices on new wheat, anda similar ise on old foreign. Batley has declined precisely the same amount.

O’Brien, Meagher, Leyne, and Donaghue. wore transmitted ‘late yesterday ng from Kil. mainham gaol to the terminus of the Cashel railway at Kingsbridge, where a special train was in readiness to convey them on their route toClonmel In conse- quence of no intimation having been given of the time read and answered, moors shot over, grouse and deer brought down ; in fact, every species of amusement that could by any possibility be given at this season of the year has been recollected. A day or two'since, the royal party reached Balmoral, from whence, aftera short sojourn, they proceeded to Invercauld, to witness the gathering of the clans, an annual sight held about this time of the year on the estate of Mr. Farquharson: ‘The scene was, as naturally might be expected, very grand; large parties constantly arriving from each elan served to convert the peaceful highlands into quite a martial rendezvous. Then there were, to con- the clans, she left five pounds for a Highlander who had clude the day’s sports, feats of climbingthe mountains, tossing the caber, foot-races, as well as other dextrous and mountaineer peculiarities which seemed to please the Queen and Prince so much, that, in addition to giving a tolerably large sum for’ d stribution among especially distinguished himeelf in climbing the rocks. Lord John Russel has reached Balmoral, and is now with the Queen on a visit. I will be aristocratic, and, before I proceed to other businese, dispose of the events now current amongst the higher circles. Foremost amongst all, is the sale at Stowe, the Duke of Buckingham’s house, whici has been one of the largest and most valuable on record. It has already extended twenty-six days, reached to upwards of sixty-five thousand pounds, and yet there isa choice collection of geological and mineralogical curiosities to be dispcsed of, as wellas about ten days to run off the sale of the household valuables. It is computed that the entire receipts will be above eighty thousand pounds. The larzest amount received in one day from the sale, was neatly eleven thousand pounds. Doncaster races are now pretty nearly over; at least, all the crack matches are run for. ‘The cup was won by Chanticleer, a horse whose celebrity has, | have no doubt, reached the other side of the Atlantic. Van Tromp, tho was the favorite, managed to get himself beaten before he ran his distance. Rather an exciting affair is expected to come off at Stirling races, in the course of next week. Mr, Burke, the noted owner of several celebrated trotters, has un- dertaken. for a wager of six hundred pounds, to drive a four-in-hand from the town of Stirling to the course thtn to ride the same horses over 60 hurdles respect- ively, which shall be four feet high, and to cover twenty four miles of ground within an hour. This is a venturous undertaking. but Mr. Burke has so fre- quently astonished people by his feats against time that he is in favor in the betting ring at this moment. The result of the match | will take care to commu- | nicate Lord Brougham, who, when the House of Lords if open, never fails to speak at least twenty times of an evening, ard.who, really, is now a most singular per- ronage, has been doing the honors of his house in true old English atyle, at Brougbam Hall, on the occasion of the birthday of one of his nephews, It is, I should think, the first time his lordship employed himself in so baronical a fashion, attempting to carry out the illustration of being “A tine old English gentleman, One of the clden time,” If Lord Brougham would contine himself to this spo- cies of hospitality, for which none are more qualified, and not be making such constant noises amongst us, the nation would, I am sure, be the gainer ‘Two large guns, taken by Lord Hardinge in the Sikh war, bave been presented by his lordship to the Queen, and are to be placed in Windsor Castle immediately, They are very handsome, being chiefly made of brass, soon be dr out of the island, as its conquest is held to be impossible. i | At Vienna, on the 13th Sept., trade was entirely stagnant.

Parts of the of their departure, there were but few persons col- lected in the neighborhood of the prison. The Free- man of this morning gives the following perticulars:— “ Yesterday evening, about 6 o’clock, the Governor of Kilmainham gaol received orders to have the State prisoners in readiness for departure at half.past eight o’clock. by the Great Southern and Western Railway. The order was at once communicated to the prisoners, who proceeded to pack up theirluggage, Kc. Soon aiter the arrivahof the last train: (quarter past eight) from Limerick, considerable bustle prevailed at the terminus—a carriage and eight horses were put intothe luggage vans, and a special engine,with three carriages (two of them first class), was placed on the down line; 200 constabulary, with fixed bayonets, were placed in order outside the terminus door, and along the plat- form inside. Ata quarter past 9 o'clock, one of the prison vans drove up, when the police were ordered to ‘stand to their arms.’ A number of the metropolitan Police were stationed about the place, each man having 8 loaded pistol, capped and cocked. Some cars drove up at the time, and one of the drivers called out fora porter to take in “ Smith O’Brien’s laggage."? Several trunks (the luggage of all the prisoners) were handed in, and in a few moments the van was opened, and the first prisoner, Mr. T. B. M’Manus, was escorted by se- yeral policemen into one of the carriages, Smith O'- Brien came next. He had a cloak thrown loosely over his shoulders, looked very well, and walked wh his usual firm step. On alighting from the van, he took off iid hat, and remained uncovered till the train de- parted. “Mr, T. F. Meagher was the next prisoner. He was recognized by one or two persons present, and shook them by thehand. He held his cloak on his arm, aud appeared in good spirits. “Mr. R. Leyne came next, His appearance beto- kened ill health, but he walked firmly, and with perfect composuri "Donaghue was the last of the prisoners to enter, and, all having been seated in a first clas car- riage, the train was got in readiness wichout delay. ‘The prisoners were escorted from Kilmginham by Sa- perintendent Selwood, Inspectors Tyad Stokes, and Carmody, and four constables, 1a the carriages, along with the prisoners, were placed fifty constabulary with fixed bayonets, under the command of Sub-Inspector Gernon. Major Brownrigg and Mr. Fitzgerald, of the constabulary, were present at the railway and superin- tended the arrangements. © Besides the above state prisoners, three mon named ‘Tyme, Stack, and Orchard—persons accused of having taken part in the affair at Ballingarry, were brought from Newgate in charge of Mr. Frederick Bourne, the deputy governor of that prison. These persons were put into the third class carriage, guarded by con- stabuiary. The arrangements forthe departure of the train having been completed at 9'clock, it started a few minutes after that hour, “ We understand that the destination of the train was Tipperary, and that the carriage and horses brought down are for the conveyance of the prisoners from that town to Clonmel. The prisoners (with the exception of Mr. Leyne) looked remarkably well, and, judging from their appearance, they seemed in choor. ful spirits,”? STATE OF THE SOUTH. The mail train which arrived this morning brings no intelligence of importance. Subjoined. however, are two hasty communications, dated Sunday and last night, desoriptive of the state of the districts up to the latest hour :— “Crone, Sunday Night, Sept. 17-9 o'clock “The insurgents bave moved over towards this town, There was no attack on Kilsheelan last night, as ex- pected, but bodies of men were marching about the neighborhood all night, and made several attacks upon the farmers, taking arms and destroying property At noon to-day large bodies of porsons were ob- served moving about on the top of the mountain which rises above the town on the Waterford side; crowds of the inhabitants collected in our streets, and, as even. ing came on, they (on th® mountain) appeared to in crease in number. I watched their movemeata all day, and have just retarned to inform you that seve- ral large signal fires are now blazing away all up the sides of the mountain as well as on the top, Kvery peak has a fire, I orosed over, at 8 P.M. to the Waterford side, (about: elif a mile.) and distiag heard the hussaing of several votces trom some of the nearest fires, Ou my return [also heard the shoutins on Suir-Mount bridge,—tae nearest fite i only about a mile and a half off; the top of the mountain only about five. It is fully believed that they are the ju- surgents, who have moved over from the nolghborhood of Carrick, The greatest excitement exists in towa to-night in consequence of their appearance, “Currick is quiet to-day, but the raral distriots pre sent the same ineurrectionary symptoms, euch as sig. nal-fires, &e. ‘The military are still under arms, the police scouring the hills, and constant patrols kept u Ri I will now give a little explanation respecting the policeman who is eaid to have fallen into the hands of those patriots :— “Two constables, named Crotty and Ryan were sent out from the Oldbridge-station (in this town) on special service, in disguise, up the mountains yester- day morning at an early hour. They parted company at noon and nothing has been heard from Ryan rinoe; but last evening the inspector received intelligence that he had fallen into the hands of the insurgents, and was hanged. Crotty and he should have met ata certain place last night, and aletter from the former received this morning stated that Ryan had aot made his appearance, Considerable anxiety is felt as to his fate. I have inquired of the authorities, and they evince the most painful anxiety respecting him. 1 he has fallen into bad hands, ates that the rebels are gathering Crotty in his lette on the mountain: “Thave just received a message that a military and police force are leaving town for the mountains. I, therefore, close my letter for the purpose of accom- panying them, and will communicate to you, by ex- press, to-morrow morning, if anything important oc- curs.”? ‘SretempeR 18,—The quiet of our town has not been | isturbed, as was expected last night. The military force, which [ mentioned in my last as about to pro- ceed up the mountains on which the insurgents were gathering yesterday, did not leave town until 2o'clock, A.M, It was composed of three companies of the 64th regiment, under Lieut. Col. Stretton, and a small force of constabulary, under a head constable; all under the instruction of Mr. ape R.M.

I had alet- ter this morning from Templemore, but no mention is mado of anything of the sort. “ The authorities have announced to-day that Ryan, the policeman, who was suid to have been hanged by the {orargents, is safe. . “ William Kelly, one of the Glenbower insurgents, who was taken in the attack, is severely wounded with | the bayonet; three wounds in the head, one on the | ear, andothers on the back, ribs and arm.

Tizis move appears to indicate a thorough scouring of those mountains. Carrick is re- presented to be most tranquil. “A man named Kelly was arrested at Clerihan, on He is committed | Saturday night, armed witha gun. for trial” The following is another communication from the same quarter:— “Monpay Eventna.—This town isin a state of con- siderable excitement at present, and, though there has been no open insurrectionin the immediate neigh- borhood, the same spirit of disaffection prevails which I stated in my letter from Tipperary as existing in that district. The Waterford mountains, which rise deavous of tl and order were gr upon the town. insurgents could be distinctly seen gathered around them, it was supposed in bands of from one to two hundred. The movements of the insurgents were ob- served all the day, and though the military were sent in pursuit, they did not succeed in arresting any of them, as intelligence of their a pproach was given by scouts, so that they had time to disperse. The police brought into Clonmel this day four insurgents—re- spectabl: dressed farmers—from the nveighber- hood of Clara, where Baron Pennefather has his residence, and they have been committed to the coun- ty gaol. Fears were entertained for the et of two policemen who were sent out from this place in color- ed clothes on Friday to try and discover the head- quarters of the rebels and report their movements, and it was currently reported, and believed by many. yes- terday and this morning, that they had been hanged; but I have just heard that letters have this afternoon been received which remove all apprehensions as to their fate. The people along the whole line of road from this to Tipperary are ina state of disaffection; and at the fair of Cahir, through which I passed this y, very few sales were made, and although there was an unprecedentedly large number of horses, blgck cat- tle, and stock of every kind, few purchasers could be found, the people being unwilling to part with their money, in consequence of the disturbed state of the country and the fear of a general insurrection. The people, I have heard from various persons, are com- pletely turning against the priests for the part they ave taken in the late movement. The influence of the priests is amazingly diminished, not alone in Tip- perary, but in several of the adjoining counties. I was this day informed by a Roman Catholic who knows the feelings of the people throughout a large district of the south, from constantly travelling and mixing among them, that great numbers of them will not now mind what the priests say: and many of the farmers do not speak to them when they meet on the roads. A number of the Roman Cathotics in this part of the country‘will not at present attend mass or go to the chapel, aud many of the respectable farmers and shop- keepers declare that they will not pay the ensuing Christmas dues—a very bad prospect for the priests for the winter. I state these facts on the authority of Roman Catholics, who related them to me, and [ have every reason to believe that they are correct. The dis- ease in the potatoes is fast progressing. and it is be- lieved they will not furnish food for the people until Christmas. Throvghout the district of country from Tipperary to Clonmel, through which I passed this day, the stalks are completely blackened, and more than one-half are reported to be lost. Yesterday, although it was Sunday, the streets of Tipperary were crowded. as ifithad been a fair or market, with poor wretched-looking men, who were waiting to be hired by the farmers as reapers tor the ensuing week. Many of them had c from the neighboring counties of Cork and Kerry, and I was informed that they recsived as wages, some 2s., some 1s 6d., some Js., and others nothing but their food for their work, “Smith O’Brien and the other traitors were expected here this day, but up to this hour, 6 o'clock, he has not arrived.’ Great excitement prevailed in the town of Thurles on Monday, and, as usual, very exaggerated reports were in circulation respecting the intentions of the insurgents. Aletter in the Freeman thus explains the cause :— 2 “It appears that during the latter part of last week— I cannot just now say on what precise day—Mr. Lani- gan, of Castlefogarty, had removed to his farmyard some corn, wheat, and oats, seized for rent due by some of his tenants. The poor peasants, finding their corn gone to their landlord, their toes melted into rot- tenness, and their wives and children in danger of be- | ing without food, went among their neighbors and told their tale of woe, Each man who heard of the seizure felt that his own turn would not be long distant, and in the course of Sunday, notices were posted in all the public places, calling on the tenantry of the district, | and of those adjoining, to assemble on this day, (Mon- day.) to consult what steps they ought to take, to se- cure for themselves and their families, so much of the crop as would sustain life. The place fixed for the meeting was Mealiffe Hill, about two miles south of Holyeross. Thia purely agrarian meeting was the rising. and the rebel encampment, which Mr. Gore Jones and his party went to encounter and disperse. The meeting, from what cause [ know not—whether the peasantry were aware of the approaca of the mili tary or not, / am unable to say—was very small, and and was described by one of the force, after his return, asa handful of naked and hungry-looking men, who lamented the seizure of their corn, when they had not enough left for food,’” The Prince de Joinville upon the Policy of France, The .2khbar of Algiers, of the 12th, publishes a letter from the Prince de Joinville to the Duke de Nemours, dated from on board the Souverain at Spezzia, 7th of November, 1847, The letter is thas introduced by the wikhbar : ivery one here knows that the Prince de Joinville was sent to Algiers a month previous to February 4, on accownt of his active opposition to the policy which had then for some time been adopted by the Cabinet of M. Guinot. He,under no circumstances, suppres sed the expression of his repuisive feclings towards a policy the dangers of which he could not conceal from himeelf. Oaarriving in Algiers hisfirst words were ‘They are leading us to arevolation.’ The subjoined letter, which has never been published, was found on February 24 in the ‘Tuileries, and a eopy of it was tuken by the person who has commateated it to us, In it will be found the lively and free expression of tho rentiments above apoken of.” ‘The letter is as follows :— “My Dean Tax, I write to you because my mind ty disturbed by the events whivh | see accumulating around us from every side.

The Paris Presse, (of the 18th ult.) which has latel: published several articles pretending to a sort of semi- official character respécting the Italian question, has given the following : A difficulty has just arisen between the imperial cabinet of Austriaon the one part, and France and England on the other part, touching the non-exeeution of certain clauses of the armistice concluded at Milan the 9th August last, by the Sardinian and Austrian | plenipotentiaries. It is known, that according to the articlestwo and four of this convention, the city of Venice was comprised in the number of places which were tobe given up to the Austrian troops within three daysafter the ratification of the armistice by the king of Sardinia. The ratification having taken place on the 10th of August, Venice, according to the stipulations agreed on, ought to have been evacu- ated on 13th August, at the latest. It would be too long to detail here the numerous demands made by Marshal Radetzki on King Charles Albert, that the Sardinian troopsand fleet which remained at Venice should conform to the conditions of the armistice. On the demand of Sir R. Abercromby, Minister Pleni- potentiary of England at Turin,’ King Charles Albert, at length delivered a letter patent to Mar- shal Radetrki, enjoining Admiral Albini and General della Marmora to evacuate Venice. But then an un- foreseen difficulty arose. At the same time that the Austrian government, on the 7th September, received from Admiral Albini the official assurance that all the fleet andthe Sardinian troops should leave the city, there arrived at Trieste an envoy, sent by the same admiral, to declare that the Sardinian fleet could not abandon the waters of Venice, until after havi recei from the Austrian government the for! al assurance that no act of hostility should be under- take: ainst that city by. the imperial troops. The declaration of the Sardinian admiral coincides with the protest made by the representatives of France and England at Vienna, for the eventuality of the resump- tion of hostilities against Venice being ordered by Austria after the departure of the fleet commanded by Admiral Albini. Ina note dated 7th inst., and joint- ly addressed By Lord Ponsonby and M., de Lacour to the Baron de Wessenberg, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Austria, the representatives of Franceand England declared that by the simple fact of having accepted the Anglo-French mediation Austria tacitly inter- dicted herself the right .of recommencing hostilities against Venice, the special object of the mediation being to stop the war, by the employment of means of conciliation. The reply of the cabinet of Vienna has not this time had to be long waited for. If we are well informed, it may be resumed as followa:—The notification of the armistice of Milan was a fait accom- pli at the time at which Charles Albert and the Court of Austria accepted the Anglo-French mediation. Congequently the acceptation of the mediation can- notia right have a retro-active effect on the stipu- lations of the armistice. ‘he imperial government, no doubt, admits the principle of the status yuo, as the basis of the negotiations to be entered into with the mediating Petar but it cannot admit any other status quo than that settled by the armistice itself, and the consequences of that act ought to be to replace the belligerent parties in the territorial situation which they occupied at the beginning of the war. That being so, Aurtria believes itself entitled to impose on Venice the stipulations of the armistice from which King Charles Albert has already derived considerable advantages, especially the giving up of a park of artil- lery abandoned at Peschiera and the free passage ac- corded to his troops. From these motives Austria in her turn protests against the difficulties which the mediating powers raise to the accomplishment of the armistice of Milan, and she reserves to herself, in respect to Venice, all her liberty of action, the acceptance of the Anglo-French mediation, not in her opinion destroy- ing in any respect the previous rights resulting to ber a from the armistice. The counter protest of Austria appears 80 much the more grave from the fact that the | armistice of Milan expires on the 2ist of this month, aud that King Charles Albert and Marshal Radetzki are preparing to resume hostilities with new vigor, if, inthe meantime, Prince Schwartzenbuarg, delegated ad hoc for the commandin chief of the Austrian army shall not succeed in stipulating a prolongation of the | armistice with the Sardinian government. in this state of things the French government has invited the English cabinet to join itin pressing on the nego- tiations. But. in consequence of the closing of liament, the British ministers take a vacation, Lord Palmerston is seeking repose in from the fatigues of a stormy session. informed of the desire of the French government, he has promised to be at London on Monday, to devise with M. Gustave de Beaumont, the means of removing the very great diMculties which the Anglo-French mediation encounters at ite début, Austria, Our latest advices from the Austrian oapital beat the date of the Lith instant, late inthe evening. The Vienna journals of the 1ith contain only the news of the preceding day. The disturbances, the origin of which we stated yos- terday, assumed a more serious aspect on the 13th. ‘The Constitutional Assembly declared itself in por- manency, and many thousands of armed students and National Guards assembled near the University. ‘The commission of the academical body also declared itself in permauency. In the Assembly Schwarzur an- re-establishment of the commission of eafety, other- wise they alone could save the capital and the with- drawal of the troops.

The mill- tary and National Guards are being drawn off from eral parts of the city, ag goneral tranquility pre- 8. vi Yesterday, after having suecoeded in getting the troops sent back to their barracks, the posts were occupied by the National Guards and students, and the malcontents retired without creating any further disorder. Great agitation prevails in the city to-day, and fears are entertained for the peace, as the National Guard is, unhappily, not unanimous; and a party of them belonging to the burghers joined the Academie Legion in demanding very decidedly the dismissal of the ministry, and the re-establishment of the Com- mittee of Public Safety. ‘Two fo'C.ock.—An express has brought the follow ing intelligence from the Hungarian Ministry « Pesth.

The accounts watch have hitherto reached us on this point, are cer- tainly very far from encouraging, and there can no longer be a doubt that the produce of grain, taking one kind with the other, fs decidedly below the quan- tity grown in moderately geod average seasons. The deiiciency is, we believe, much greater in the southern and western, than in the eastern and northern coun- ties, but the total preduce of the kingdom is unques- tionably short, and we are likely again to require a considerable importation of foreign grain. Und these circumstances a low range of prices is not to expected. As, however, the harvest on the continent | has proved much better than in this country, we may, perbape, be enabled to secure the quantity rejuired, without being under the necessity of paying very high prices, We are inclined to think that this may be the cage, as our merchants and speculators appear osed toact witha certain degres of caution. The on of last year has been gotten, nor are the same facilities for entering into extensive speculative operations. obtainable, We do not, therefore, calentate on high prices, but that the tendency will be rather upwards, is more than proba- ble.
