The Pope was still determined to resist in case of

any attack upon the independence of his states. It was ship of the Council of France, and M. Guizot has been

reported that His Holiness had assented to a proposi- | tioa that Lonis Philippe should become arbitrator be-' tween the Holy See and Austria. Pius LX. added,} however, acondition which Prince Metternich would not subscribe to, namely, that the Austrian troops should withdraw from the town and the citadel of Forrara. The} proposition of the King of the French fell therefore to’ the ground, much to the satisfaction, it was said, of all! in Rome who had learned anything of the matter.| Austrian intervention in Lucca and Modena was hourly) expected, and it was said that the Grand Duke of Tus- cany was wavering.

The Cotemporaneo, Roman journal, of the 18th, men- tions (what we formerly have stated), than an application had been made by the Austrian Government to the Pope, for permission to march troops through the Papal territory, to aid the Neapolitan Government. To this! application, says the Cofemporaneo, His Holiness has

A report prevailed that the insurgents had repossessea | themselves of Reggio, after a combat in which they killed considerable numbers of the King’s troops. This! rumour, however, does not appear worthy of credit.

We have now te text of the Circular sent from Rome to the civil and military authorities at the beginning of, September, containing instructions to be acted on in| case of an actual invasion of the Papal territory :—

In the present state of political affairs we may consider} as distant the case of an occupation of the Pontifical) States by a foreign army. Nevertheless, the rules of,

necessary instructions be given by the Government. These are the instructions :— In case a foreign force should present itself with the

nors of fortresses, the garrisons of towns, and every, military post occupying a position must not yield and give up that position, except to a force such as it is im- possible to resist. The commandants, on their most strict responsibility, must execute the following orders: —1. First, to preserve all military effects belonging to) the Government.—2. To retire upen the corps to which: they belong.—3. To protect the representatives of the Government and the Bishops.—4. To receive and unite with individuals of the Civic Guard who may desire to join the Papal army.—5. To operate by a retrograde movement the concentration towards the capital falling

Greece.—M. Coletti, the Prime Minister of Greece, died at Athens on the morning of the 12th ult., after a painful illness of about a fortnight’s duration. His death has cavsed great excitement throughout Greece. M. Piscatory, the French ambassacor at Athens, was using every effort to procure the appointment of M. Rigas Palamides as successor to M.

SUMMARY OF NEWS.

Orv anv Younea IneELanp.—A Scene.—The Cork Constitution contains the following account of the first meeting ofthe * Desmond Club’ in that city on Monday night:—“ There was a meeting of the Young Irelanders at the Victoria Theatre, last evening, which was sought to be made ‘select’ by confining the admission to six- ‘penny tickets; but the doors were broken in by sledges, and the gallery and pit quickly filled by the rabble, and many of those who had purchased tickets found it im- possible to gain admission, while many others deemed it prudent not to attempt the task. ‘Free admission’ being secured, the house was crowded to inconvenience ; and during the proceedings which took place there were frequent thumping matches between the Old and Young. Mr. Denny Lane took the chair, and while addressing the meeting, some one turned the main gas cock, and all was darkness; during which there was the most terrific commotion, particularly amongst a number of females to whom the boxes were appropriated. After some time the lamps were again lit, and the chairman proceeded, until a remark fell from him reflecting upon O’Connell, when he was assailed with the most oppro- brious epithets, and during his efforts to address them he was yelled at most vociferously. Mr. M. J. Barry fol- lowed, and he fared nothing better. But the grand row was reserved for Mr. William Smith O’Brien, M. P., who strove fora long time to overcome the spirit of turbulence, but eventually was obliged to give up the hopeless task. Young Meagher, seeing his leader re- treat, rushed forward to fill the breach, but the attack was renewed with increased vigour. He struggled manfully and strenuously against the hisses, shouts, and cheers of which he was the object. There he stood, sawing the air, but to no effect, for nearly half an hour, until he told them that ‘he was determined to remain on that spot for three days, if need be, until he was heard.’ This seemed to appease them, but not until some dozen noisy spirits were huddled from gallery and pit, and not afew black eyes and bloody noses were bestowed on neighbours. He was followed by a Mr. Brennan, Mr.

of the Council. M. Palamides is the mere tool of France, and Sir Edward Lyons was, it is said, exerting all his influence to prevent lhe avowed enemy of Eng- land being raised to the head of the Greek Government.

A partial insurrection has broken out in Acarnania. The rebel chief, Griziotis, had not died of his wounds. He had reached the Island of Chio in safety, where he!

arm was amputated with complete success, and he was, by the last accounts, in a fair way of recovery.

By the latest dates to the 2Ist ult., we learn that M. G. Glarakts, Minister of Public Instruction, had been)

curred in Kilkenny between the two parties ona similar occasion of founding a Confederate Club. Here, as well as in Cork, the assailants appear to have been of the Old Ireland party.

charged ad interim with the direction of the department of Foreign Affairs. The revolt of Colonel Pharmaki| had been energetically repressed, and that the chief had | fied into the mountains with only 13 of the 150 men| who had joined his standard. General Grivas was still | at Prevesa, recruiting partisans for another expedition | into Greece. His force was said to amount to at least! 500 men.

AUsTRALIA.—Sydney papers, by way of Singapore, | have come to hand, reaching to May 8th. That colony! is in a flourishing condition. Wheat was at 4s. 7d. per! bushel; the holders of Launceston wheat were holding) out for 5s. and 5s. 6d. The shipping list indicate an) active trade with London, the South Seas, and New Zealand. Sir Charles Fitzroy opened the last session | of the first legislative council of New South Wales on| the 4th May. The ‘speech from the throne’ on the oc-, casion is described as giving general satisfaction. It,

congratulated the members of the general condition of;

the colony—the abundance, cheapness, and excellent | quality of all the necessaries of life, and the flourishing | state of the revenue. The slight deficiency in the| balance of 1846 as compared with that of 1845 is ex-| plained to arise from reduction of taxes; especially two —the assessment on stock for police purposes, and the duties on spirits. The amount now on credit will enable the Government to discharge in the course of the pre-| sent year, the whole of the outstanding debentures amounting to nearly £100,000, which were issued to meet the expenses of immigration in former years. Sir Charles stated that he had been induced at the re- quest of a numerous and highly respectable body of proprietors to recommend the Colonial-office at home to

Mr. Cospen at Moscow.—The celebrated Cobden is still among us. He came from Nishni Novogorod, where he had been attending the fair. The immense variety of articles which were exposed for sale, and the admirable order which prevailed at the exchange of goods, have quite exceeded his expectations. On the road to Nishni Novogorod Mr. Cobden visited several manufacturing districts, and here it was that the indus- try of our peasantry asionished him. ‘Here we have manufactures in full perfection, he exclaimed at Wochna, where it was well known that silk goods to the value of several hundred thousand rubles are an- nually manufactured. At Moscow also several manu- factories have excited his astonishment and admiration. Mr. Cobden assured M. Gutsekkon, the proprietor of a calico printing mill, that he had no where seen so com pletely organised a manufactory of this kind. He highly complimented M. Procherou, another manu- facturer, for the care which he bestowed upon the children in his mills. In the cloth factory of M. Koton he was especially pleased with the order which prevail- ed there, and the admirable combinations of the isolated divisions of the manufactory. Mr. Cobden said, *‘ You need not be afraid of any competition, cloth weaving is in the most favourable state in Russia, and all circum- stances combine to bring this branch of industry to the highest perfection.’ He expressed his satisfaction, and his desire to become better acquainted with the state of the manufactures and of the labouring classes.
