The latest acsounts, however, copied from the Paris Moni- tour of the 224 ult., state that, according to special ac- eounts from Constantinople, there was a prospect of the gettloment of Oriental affairs, without compromising ‘the good understanding existing between the European powers. ‘According to a despatch from Vienna, an imperial de- wee had been issued at Mantua for the abandonment of all prosecutions for high treason.

Probably, it will turn out that the French squadron will remain for a | time at Athens or Smyrna to watch the course of event: But although we regret the haughty and exclusive tone which the Russian Envoy Extraordinary has been saflered to assume at Constantinople, and it is mpossible for the other great powers to recognize in Russia any claim whatsoever to dispose arbitrarily and at her own pleasure of the fate of an empire whose exis- tence has s0 long been the peril and the problem of Eu- rope, we are by no means satistied that the views of the cabinet of St Petersburg extend as far, at this moment, as some of our contemporaries suppose.

Within the last ten days upwards of 150 per- sons, of both sexes, left Clonmel upon Bianconi’s long cars to Waterford ; and when we add to them, if in our power to do so, the numbers which have passed on either their own or hired cars or drays, the amount would be really astonishing, if not incredible. Such it is, however, and where it will end no one can tell. The number of letters from all parts of the States passing through the post-office here, and dispersed all over the county, is amazing, and it is calculated that ninety-five at least out of every hundred contain remittances to pay the passage of either one, two, or perhaps three, out of every family. Spring work’ is very brisk, and better wa- ges are giving, and the result is, that between the flight of the people, the scarcity of laborers and the advance in the labor market, neither Her Majesty’s recruiting of fieer nor the sergeant of the Hon. Fast India Company, although the latter have lowered the standard, can do business. No idlers, and, therefore, no recruits.” It would require no small share of foresight to predict, with anything like accuracy, the ultimate effect ot this social revolution. Account of the Great Fire at Windsor Castle, [From the London Times, March 21.} On Saturday night, March 19th, a few hours after the arrival of the Royal Family at Wind: or Castle, an alarm- | ing tire sudcenly broke out in their private apartments, which are situated in the Prince of Wales’s Tower. This tower overlooks Eton College and the terrace flower gar- den and slopes, which are so familiar to the daily readers of the Court Circular. On its ground flror stood the gothic dining room, @ very handsomely decorated apart- ment, and here her Majesty and the Prince dined alone on Saturday, as is their custom on the day of their arrival at the castle. i They had concluded their repast, and retired to an ad- joining apartment, when dense volumes of smoke sud- denly apprited the domestics that a fire had originated behind the woodwork of the dining room. Every exer- | tion was used to extinguish it, but we regret to say that | the efforts made were not successful until a considerable | destruction of property kad taken place. We aré glad to | be enabied to state that her Majesty has not suffered from this alarming occurrence, and that her wonted self- possession under circumstances so trying did not for a moment forsake her. It would appear that@e damage done has been exten- tive, for, from the fire originating behind the wainscot- ing, and spreading thus from apartment to apartment, it was found impossible to extinguish it until an immense body of water had been expended. The Prince of Wales's Tower is completely gutted, the roof even bsing destroy- ed, and the flames penetrated into portions of the Bruns- | wick Tower, which adjoins, doing much injury there also, ‘The apartments which have chiefly suffered are about a dozen bedrooms and the gothic dining-room. The whole of the valuable furniture of the Red Draw- ing-room, which was placed in great jeopardy, was care- fully removed by the soldiers and the Lord Chamberlain's men, and httle damage is done to it, with the exception of the breaking of some of the glass of the magnificent chandeliers, The plate rooms are situated immediately underneath where the fire was raging, but it was not considered necessary to remove any portion of the plate, as the rooms were made fireproof. It did not appear, however, that they were waterproof, from the quantity which poured into them from the ceiling. In a very few minutes after the alarm was first given, the Fusileer Guards, seven hundred strong, had ‘doubled’ to the Castle, and the 2d Life Guards, under the com- mand of Colonel Williams, followed with their barrack engine. The soldiers behaved manfully, some mountin, the roof of the tower, some removihg the furniture wit! the utmost care from the apartments contiguous to the conflsgration, while others were using their utmost exer- tions at the engines. At about 11 the fire was at its height, when nearly all the following engines had arrived on the North-terrace, and were playing on the tower from various directions:— The Windsor Castle, the Windsor Parish, Messrs, Jen- uing’s, Neville’s, Reid’s, the Infantry ‘barracks, the Cavalry barracks, the Eton, and the Slough. An express was also despatched ‘from’ the Castle to the London Fire Brigade, which arrived with two powerful engines, under the superintendence of Mr Rraidwaod. at twa o'clock About this time the fire was partially got under, but it was not totally extinguished before four o'clock. ' Fortu. nately, there was a plentiful supply ef water from the Cranbourne tank, which had only ‘been laid on to this part of the castie in the autumn of last year, or in ell probability the whole of the castle would have been burnt down. The frost was so intense during the night as con- sidera®ly to retard the action of the engines, while it no doubt favored the action of the flames. They appear to have spread with great rapidity and force, and to have | revisted for an unusual time the immense volumes of weter thrown upon them ¢ fire is suid to have originated from a furnace ftue, vated at the basement at thePrince of Wales's Tower, for the purpose of heating the air which warms the Gothic groom and many otber apartments in this | tower, No estimate has yet, of course, been formed of the loss, which will fall ‘chiefly on the Lord Cham- | berlain’s department. The most praiseworthy zeal was exhibited by all engaged in extinguishing the flames; and, with two exceptions of slight injuries, no one appears to baye been seriously burt The’ preserva | tion of the castle from the imminent danger | which threatened it, is naturally a source of special | thankfulness to the inhabitants of Windsor; but it will be heard with loyal satisfaction throughout the country, in every part of which the destruction of the | greatest of our royal residences would have been received as ® national cslamity. His Royal Highness Prince Al- | bert was present until the last, as were al«o the Hon. Colonel Grey, the Hon. Colonel Biddulph, and the Hon. Colonel Phipps.

THE APPROACHING CORONATION AND EXPECTED AR- RIVAL OF THE POPE AT PARIS—AGITATION ON THE BOURSE—A FRENCH SQUADRON SENT TO THE ARCHIPELAGO—TNE AMERICAN EMBASSY TO FRANCE—THE POLICE AND MAZZINI—EMIGRATION —MILITARY AND NAVAL MOVEMENTS, ETC. From the circumstance that the Mayor of Rheims has been summoned to wait on the Emperor, there are sone who eay that the eoronation will take place in that an- cient city, The war steamer Napoleon is being superbly fitted up at Toulon, and rumor has it that she will be sent for the Pope, who will embark at Cevita Vecehia, about the 1st of May. Owing to the unfavorable news from the East the Bourse had been considerably agitated, but by accounts to 22d, was resuming a more settled appearance. On the first intelligence of Col. Rose, the English charge at Con- stantinople, having sent for the English fleet, the squad ron lately at Toulon has been despatched, all haste, to the Archipelago, M. de Lacour is sent direct to Constan- tinople, and M. de Bourgueny to Vienna, with orders. Mr. Rives will leave Paris in May. ses paper says that Col. Fremont will probably suczeed him—on what authority the statement is made, we do not know. M, Michel, (de Bourges) the well known republican, is dead. ‘The Times correspondence states that the French go: vernment actually did present three notes to the Aus- trian government, en the subject of the Lombard confis- ions, remonstrating with it on the unjustifiable harshness of these measures. Apropos of Lombardy, the French police have sent in a report on the subject 0! the refugees, in which it is stated that, according to in- formation gathered at London and in ‘Switzerland, they have reason to believe that M. Mazzini is still in’ Pied- mont. In the Journal de Geneve we read that Mazzini. on leaving London, went direct to Paris, where he stop] at the Hotel Meurice as an English gentleman, with light hair and rather weak eyes, and provided, of course, with a correct English paseport. From thence he went to Strasburg by railway; the police, however, had got on the scent and followed. but could not meet with any tuch gentleman there. The only individual they found Wasa respectable English gentleman, with dark hair, very lively eyes, and quite a different passport. While the ‘french police were therefore directing their atten- tion to Lyons, with a view to the apprehension of the light haired man, the dark haired ini was again Paying off the samme counterfeit on. the German police, and passed through Germany to Milan, where he is re- ported to have stayed a few days. Letters from Bayonne, of the 17th ult., mention that emigration movements were very active at that port.

Llorente, the Span- ish Mirister of Finance, has just concluded a loan of five hundred millions of realy with the house of Barings, of London. This sum is intended to pay off the floating debt, which will be replaced by a perpetual debt. The conditions of this loan are very favorable to Spain, which has vever been able hitherto to obtain money bat at an in- terest of 10, 12nd even 17 per cent, while this loan has been effected at 7 per cent. The affair will be imme- diately submitted to the approbation of the Cortes. Germany. NAVIGATION OF THE ELBE INTERRUPTED—DEMAND FOR AMERICAN MONEY—DEATHS OF DISTINGUISH- ED PERSONAGES, ETC. Hamburg leiters, of 16th, state that the navigation of the Elbe had been ‘again interrupted by frost, which had ret in, accompanied by sharp easterly winds. Several steamers were obliged to leave the port and proceed to Gluckstadt or Cuxhaven. There is a lively demand on the continent for Amerfean eagles, They sell at a promium, just now, in many parts of Germany, being in request’ by intending emigrants. From the low rate of wages that prevails, emigration this season is expected to be limited only by the difficulty of getting away. Three deaths of some note are reported this week. Prince Charles Anthony, of Hohenzollern Sigmaringen, whose abdication with that of the Prince of Hohenzollern: Hechingen, in 1848, brought the Hobenzollern territory ¢ direct domination of the King of Prussia. The Prince died at Bologna, on his way to Rome, and in his sixty sixth year. ‘The second death is that of the venerable professor of medicine, Christian Harless, of Bonn, who had attained the age of eiahty years, of which he had devoted moze than sixty to sefence ‘and the profession of which he was an illustrious member. ‘The third demise is that of M. Kestner, to whom some interest attached from his being the son of the lady whom Goethe personified in his “Charlotte” M. Kestner died in his seventy-sixth year, and for some time past had lived upon @ small pension at Rome, Switzerland. SWISS AND AUSTRIAN POLITICS—THE EXPULSION OF TUE TICINRSE, ETC. Advices from Berne of the 18th ult., state that the Federal Council was to meet on the following day to dts. cuss the Austrian note. This note tod eld the former accusations against Switzerland, of ineiting revolt, but pro] 8 to restore the former footing between Austria and Switzerland, so soon as justice shall have been done to the complaints of Austria, and Switzerland shall have given guarantees for the future. Opposed to this, the report of the Federal Commissioners offers a complete justification of the conduct of the government of Ticino during the sedition at Milan. Swiss pavers speak of a new expulsion of Ticinese from Lombardy. The valley of Erbonne is a part of the larger valley of Inteloi, situated in Lombardy, but the property of the Ticinese who reside there. These People, to the number of one hundred, were compelled on the 15th to abandon houses, flocks, and all that they possessed, to the hands of strangers, and had arrived at Serdestadt stripped of their all Austria. THE POLITICAL REFUGEES — THE LATE MARSHAL HAYNAU AND HIS HABITS—THE PASSPORT SY8- TEM, ETO. ‘The Prussian Gazette states that the British Ambassa- dor, Lord Westmoreland, has. presented an official note to the Austrian ministry, frem the English cabinet, con taining a formal expression of their intention ri ashy to suppres any conspiracy planned by foreign refugees in England against the continental powers. The Gasete adds that Austria is rapidly grepering the necossary documents for the legal prosecution of certain refugees in the English courts. This, however, is doubtful. Haynau’s sudden death ‘has surprised no one who knew whathis habits were. He was a great eater, and the large quantities of strong wines and coffee which he drank continn: kept him in a state of unnatoral ex- citement. His death isattributed to an affection of the heart, under which he bad long labored. It is not true that, at the time of his death, he was about to be em- ployed in Italy. Tn Vienna letters of the 14th, it is stated that the strict regulations which were enforced towards English aesports, at the time of the Haynau adventure with the jondon draymen, are again revived, Prussia. MINISTERIAL FINANCIAL SPECULATIONS—COMMER- CIAL INTERCOUBSE TO BE FACILITATED—LITBRARY PROHIBITIONS, ETC. Fromn Berlin it is stated that the new four per eent Joan of £750 000 sterling is to be issued in a few days, and the demand for it was great. ‘The plenipotentiaries of the various States comprising the Zollverein hold their meetings daily, their main point being, for the present, to increase all facilities for com- mercial intercommanication between the members of Steurverein, the Zollverein, Austria, and her Italian Prates, Gervinus’ new work is prohibited in Cologne and Berlin.

In the meantime, the admiralty, (sofar as is known,) has contented itself with ordering a few ships to reinforce the Mediterranean squadron, the French fleet having, on the first intelligence of the dimeuitin, recetv- ed orders to proceed to the Archipelago. While this want of alacrity 1s displayed in England, Mr. Rose, acting for Britain at Constantinople, Hild des- patched the steamship Wasp, with desp itches, dated 8th ult., for England, and, it was stated, with instructions to the British fleet at Malta to hasten with all speed to the Dardanelles. Notwithstanding the threatening appear. ances, it is reported in England to be the opinion both of the French and Austrian courts, that the matters in dis. pute will be peaceably arranged. Up to latest accounts we are without authentic information as to what the de- mands of Russia really are. A careful consideration of all the information we can come at leads to the inference that Russia has in fact, to the present time, de- maned nothing in particular, but has exhibited such an amount of what is vulgatly called “sauce,” as has thrown the whole diplomatic world into a state of the liveliest indignation—a not unlikely circumstance. Our correspondent is thu; particular in giving the preseat state of the affair as a key to the disconnected statements coming by telegraph ‘and letter, and from which alone wecan for some time learn anything of what is going on. ‘The following, from the correspondence in the Times of the 2ist ult., gives somefurther details. The demonstra- tion of welcome on Menschikoff’s arrival, therein refer- red to, is spoken of by other papers as altogether an af. fair cotten up at the Russian embassy—an incident in the play:— stantinople to the Sth, by way of Mar- 1 oe Coren thy way. of Vienna, have arrived. They dwell principally on the mission of the Russian Min ister of Marine, General Prince Menschikof, and are of considerable interest and importance. The object of the General appears to have been to show more hauteur to the Turkish government, and in a more public manner, than Count de Leiningen, the Austrian envoy, displayed. Before emburking at Odessa, he passed a review of the Russian fleet in the Black Ses, and of the corps of disembarkation which Russia has kept on a war footing in the port of Se- Bastopol sine ty-seven vessels of war—ships of tho line, frigates, or large steamers—and 30,000 soldiers, were assembled on this oceasion; and the greatest eclat pos- rible was given to the review, with, it is supposed, the view of causing it to be known at Constantinople. 18 Gener Il then proceeded to Constantinople on board the Russian war Steamer, the Foudroyant, and arrived in that city on the28th of February. He wasaccompanied by Count Dimitri Nessel- rode as secretary; by two generals, one of them, General Nipocatecinski,, commander-in-chief of, tho fifth corps @armee; by two admirals, one of them Vice-Admiral Cor- niloff, commanding the naval forces in the Black Sea; by two colonels and two lieutenant-colonels, as aides-de-camp; and by five captainsas orderly officers. Since the celebrated mbassy of Koutousoff at the end of the last century, no = m Menscbikoff and his suite were received, on discmba: at ‘Topkhané, by all ‘the employes, ‘of the | Russian embasey, and by between 6,000 and 8,000 Russian subjects, or members of tho Greek religion, and he was escorted b them with great pomp to his hotel. On the 2d of Marc! the Prince went ¢o the Porte to pay a visit to the Grand Vizier, but, contrary to all usages, he did not appear in the uniform of his rank, but in plain clothes. What took place at the interview ‘is not precisely known: but what is certain is, that when, on taking his leave, the Grand Vizier invited him, in conformity with the diplomatic usage at Constantinople, to pay visit to the Minister of foreign Affairs, Fuad. Effendi, who was waiting to receive him, he replied in a very loud and very disdainful tone, and Yefore several witnesses, that he would not see that min- isten, as his government, and expecially its, accredited minister at Constanti M, Ozeroff, had to reproach him with several i of faith." In consequence of this, Fuad Effendi gave in bis resignation. Tt is said, in one of the letters from Constantinople, that the demands made by Princo Menschikoff on the Grand Vizier, and sup- d by this demonstration, were not less offensive to the 8. It was said, jorte: Porte than the remarks on onc of its mini: among other things, that the Prince demanded, in the name of bis government, that tho Emperor of Russia should hence- forth be officially recognized as the protector of the Greek Christians, eubjects of Turkey, as France has been for some centuries of the Catholics in the Levant; and that th tion of the Patriarch of Constantinople should h forth be made b; the Greeks, and confirmed by the to the exclusion of the Sultan, has the right of nomination and in: vestiture. The day after this interview Fuad Effendi was replaced by Rifaat Pacha, who has been nominated Ambas- rador at Vienna, and who is considered one of the chiefs of what isealled the Austrian party at Constantinople, The Ministers held a council the same day, and put themeelyes in communication with tho foreign diplomatic body. On the 4th of March, either on the solicitation of the Divan, or spontanconsly, the English Charge d’ Affaires, Colonel Rose, acesrding to another letter from Constantinople, proposed to send a steamer to Admiral Dundas, commanding the English fleet in the Mediterranean, who was then at Malta, inviting him to approach the Dardanelles with his fleet. The proposition was, it is suid, at iret, accepted: buton the 6th it seemed to be set . On the 8th, however, the English vessel Wasp t off to Malta with a letter from Colonel Rove for Admiral Dundas, and with despatches to be forwarded to London via Marseilles. The fleet of Admi. ral Dundas consiste of six men-of-war and a dozen frigates and smaller vessels, but, if circumstances should require, it ean easily be doubled. A letter from Marseilles of the 15th ult. says -— The prompt success obtained at Constantinople has heen, it must be admitted, rendered more casy by the armed de: monetrations of Russia, for, while Austria was massing £0,000 men on the Turkish frontier, the Russians directetl an equal number on Bessarabia and the southern provinces. On the other hand a corps of the Persian army approached the eastern provinces, and this demonstration was also at- tributed to the instigation of Russin. General Rudiger, one of the liewtenants of Paskiewitsch in the war of Hungary, has, itis said, been just named Generalissimo of the Russian army ofthe south. “It is from the midst of this forest of bayonets that Prince Menschikoff issues to bear, in his turn. the demands of Russia Constantinople. The personnel of that embassy, which resembles rather a general taff than a diplomatic lezation, already indicates the pres sure that is to be applied to Turkey. No douht the northern Powers do not appear t striking the last low at this old empire. ‘They istied for the mo- ment in establishing their protectorate over the Christians, who form the majority of the population, and in favoring the gradual emancipation of the princes who are the vassals of the Sultan. as, for instance, those of Montenegro; but, when Abd-el-Medjid shall be no longer more than nominal sovercign, what time will it take to complete a partition which already exists in fact? ¢ told that the Turkish army is indignant, and that it asks of what use can it here- n 10s that many of its generals and officers have geased to appear with their swords in public ceremoni These di of the expiring pride of independence yain and useless.

The British fleet, therefore, remains at Malta, and the French squadron will probably rendezvous off the coast of Greece or Smyrna, to watch the course of events.

REVOLUTIONARY SURMISES—DEPUTATION TO THE AUSTRIAN EMPEROR — THE POLITICAL PROSE- CUTIONS. From Paris it is stated, by those who claim to be well informed. that the revolutionary chiefs were never more active than at the present moment, and that a outbreak ‘somewhere’? may be looked for towards the end of May. Kossuth and Mazzini are said to be jointly working for this end.- It is difficult to i ine that either of these men would thus prematurely divulge their plans, so the date of May next is, perhaps, but “a weak invention of the enemy,” A deputation is to proceed to Vienna in the name of the Lombard provinces, to congratulate the Emperor upon his recovery. This self-appointed deputation consiste of the Archbishop of Milan, and the Bishops of Pavia and Como, with some others. The accounts from Lombardy report little or no miti- gation the harsh measures of the Austrians. The ar- rests of émigrés within the Sardinian dominions contin- ues to be numerous, and bitter complaints are made re- epetisg the dircreditable means used to entrap them.
