upon any course of action.
DENMARK AND GERMANY.
Advices from Cuxhaven, dated the 14th
inst., suite that tho blockade of the Elbe
having commenced on the 12th instant,
the pilot galliot had ldfethe station, but
the lightships have not Vet been removed.
The letters from Bremen, of tho 13th
instant, intimate tl!?t the Danes having
declared the river in a state of blockade,
the Bremen light vessels have been ordered
from their stations, and brought into
port.
We learn from Hamburg that on the
14th instant a bill was posted on the Hamburg
Ex cliango, stating that the Danish
encroachment-'*, near Duppel, had been
attacked, and earned by the Saxon and
Bavarian troops.
Accounts from Hamburg of the 1 /5th

of the German troops at Duppel, where

state that on that day the plenipotentiaries
of twenty eight of the Governments
of Germany signed a document, in
which they give their adhesion to the constitution
of the empire, and the accept
ance by tlie King of Prussia of the hereditary
Imperial Crown. The plenipotentiary
of Wirtcmberg had no authority to
sign. Itcsse Cassel protests against the
constitution nnd election of the King, as
treason to the German people.
The Lcipsic Gazette states that the
King of Bavaria has protested ngninst

of Prussia, and against organizing Gcrmunv

AUSTRIA ANI) HUNGARY.
According to a letter from Vienna, of
the 10th, the Magyars on the lower hanks
of the Danube have penetrated into several
parts of the Backza. Perezel and
Batthyani have succeeded in entrenching
themselves in the fortress of Peterwardein.
The garrison, in order to favor this movement,
made a sortie on the 20th ult.
which was succcsful. Immediately on
the arrival of Perezel and Batthyani, the
partisans oi Austria were allowed to withdraw.
Crowds of women and children
left peterwardein in diflfesent conveyances.
The Servian garrison of Zambor retired.
After this a number of the inhabitants
of the Baczka took the road to Styria,
with their wives and children.
The last news from Hungary is to the
cffect that matters remain just as they
were before. The Hungarian army have
taken up positions on the Rakosh plain,
under the walls of Pesth, and offered battle
to the Austrian*, who stand prepared
to defend their possession of the Hungarian
capitol. Prince Windischgratz, warned
by his late mishaps, has declined accepting
the battle, and it is sincerely ho
ped at Vienna that he will escape being

left wing of his army, under his special
command, stands at. Wait/en ; the centre,
under Gen. Shlick, is at Czinkota, a village
on the road from Pesth to Godollo;
and the right wing, under the Ban Jellachich,
extends across the rail road line towards
Alberti mul Czegled. The heroic
Ban was at one time given up as lost, and
his re-appearance lias caused great joy at
head quarters.
ITALY.
The flame paper states that the following
are some of the terms imposed by
r ranee ana n.ngiiinu on tnc rope as ine
condition on which they will aid his return
to Rome:?A gederal armistice, a
complete secular Government, inviolability
of political liberty, abolition of the holy
office and ecclesiastical tribunals, except
in the matter of the clergy, and the
suppression of proprietary religious orders.
Letters from Florence, of the 10th inst.,
atatcs (hat a French steamer from Oaeta
had landed the Secretary of the French
legation of Rome at Civita Vocchia, and
that he had immediately left for the capitol.
He was said to be the bearer of the
ultimatum of the foreign powers for the
re-establishment of the Pone. Itannears

NAPLES AND SICILY.
Accounts from Naples, of the Gthinst.
state that on the 28th of March two col
umns of Neapolitan troops were sent bj
uenerai I'uangicri, irom xaesaina toward!
the interior of Sicily. The one whiol
went towards Palermo had mot with m

wjhole of its garrison. It was thought
that Cantania will submit to Ihe King's
troops. The Frcnch and English squndrons
had returned to Naples. At Naples
several of the deputies of the late
chamber had boon nrrested, and the Government
was proceeding against the persons
engaged in all the disturbances
which have occurred within the last year
with extraordinary rigor. Even those
who pulled down tnc arms of Austria in
March, 1848, had been arrested.
Accounts have been received via Malta,
of the destruction of Gautama, by the
troops of the King of Naples, and the capture
of the ruins of that unf> lunate city,
after a siege of three days. The following
is from n letter, dated Catania, April 7:
At an early hour on the morning of the
5th the Neapolitan squadron, consisting
of 17 vessels, steamers, frigates, and
gun boats, took up a position to bombard
the city. The firing lasted all day with
much damage to the city, and but little
to tho vessels. Tlio following morning a
simultaneous auacK was maue oy sea anci
land. The Swiss, to the number of
2500, led the van, and were supported
by two regiments of cavalry, and followed
by an army of 10,000 men, with forty
pieces of cannon. After a brief but obstinate
resistance, the Catancsc were overpowered,
and tli^ troops of Ferdinand
entered the city, which then became a
real field of battle. As the troops advanced
the resistance became more obstinate.
The assailants were fired on from
.1 i i i i ; ... .i . .
inuow.s, nuusiuups (iiiii u;tmt*mies.?
The city, bombarded by sea and land,
was compelled to surrender, and on the
morning of the 7th a portion of the garrison
and a great number of the inhabitants
retired to the mountains in perfect
order, abondoning the city to fire and
plunder. The greater part of the houses
were sacked and destroyed. The public
lihrnrx' iltn tvilnnn nf l.n M fimn'iu S'lTi
Giulinno, that of the Princc of Caraci,
and many other edifices were burnt,. About
1*700 Neapolitans were killed, and
a great number more of Sicilians. Such
has been the fate of this fine city und its
inhabitants. Filangieri has given up the
city to sack and fire. It is now in flames
in many parts. The soldiers are. prowling
about, plundering houses, violating
women, and stabbing all who oppose
them."
CIITNA.
Our Hong Kong advices are to the 27th
of February, from which we learn that the
Peninsular and Oriental Company's new
steamer Malta arrived on the 16th inst.,
having loft Singapore on the morning of
the 8th ; nnd tho Canton steamer, belonging
to the same company, arrived on the
1 !)th inst
The question of opening the city gates
at Canton has lieen the engrossing subject
during the month, we believe that nearly
all the respectable part of the native community
at Canton will bo glad to have
the matter settled, as they are getting
tired of it, and it is not argued by them
now with the same angry feeling as on former
occasions. The fear of the Ladrones
and of the idle portion of the working classes
seems to be the chief cutisc of alarm,
and not the question of the light of opening
the city gates to us. The authorities
can and must be made to carry out the
convention, or the consequences, indirectly,
may be injurious to British interests,
not only at Canton, but at all the other
ports.
LATEST INTELLIGENCE.
Rumors were in circulation in Paris on
the 18th inst., of a modification of the
ministry. Gen. Lamocriciere is spoken
of for the Ministry of War, and General
Bedeau for that of Foreign Affairs.
So many representatives are leaving
Paris every day, that after the budget is
voted, it will not, it is said, be possible to
make a House.
PRUSSIA.
The following significant paragraph
appears in the second edit'v.i of the Cologne
Gazette, of the 18th inst.
"A new Prussian note, bearing iftate
April 13, and intended as an answer to
the Austrian one of the 8th, lias in tljc
clearest and most unequivocal mann<>rf
| declared to tlie Olmutz cabinet that the^
Prussian Government will not he deterred
in any way by the opposition of the
Austrian Minirtrj from assisting, with all
its power, in the .-peody formation of a
united confederate State, and that it is
firmly resolved to uphold and protect the
work thus accomplished, with the concordance
of thetJeflhnn princes. In a word,
the relations of Austria are assuming every
day a more warlike appearance, and,
