ls Cavaignac and Changarnier, charging the latter with
having formed a design of invading England, while Ledru-Rollin was
minister of the Interior. To this attack neither of the generals has
responded.
In GERMANY, the Dresden Conferences have closed. The King of Prussia and
the Emperor of Austria have visited Warsaw as the guests of the Emperor
Nicholas. The meeting, however, is considered as something more than a
mere visit of courtesy. At the latest dates the three potentates were
still at Warsaw, but nothing had transpired indicative of the nature of
their conferences. The Prussian General Assembly had adjourned. During
the recent session upwards of eleven and a half millions of thalers were
voted for the expenses of the late useless campaign.
Austria is making desperate efforts to relieve herself from her
embarrassing financial position. Baron Rothschild, one of the principal
creditors of the empire, has been summoned to assist at the
consultation; the prospect is said to be better than had been
anticipated. A change has taken place in the Austrian Ministry,
Baumgarten having been made Minister of Commerce in place of Brueck. The
Countess Teleki, and her companion Madame Eardly, have been arrested in
Hungary, on charge of conveying letters from the political refugees in
London to their partisans in Asia Minor and Hungary. They are to be
tried by a court martial.
ITALY is in a most unfortunate condition. The reaction continues to
increase in power, while the discontent of the Republican party still
ferments in all quarters. The condition of the country is very analogous
to what it was previous to the Revolution. The Government of Tuscany is
entirely under the control of Austria; while that of Naples, grown bold
in tyranny, is more actively oppressive than ever. The death of the King
of Naples was reported; but it turns out that instead of this being the
case, he is more vigorous and tyrannical than ever. In Rome, the rule of
the French soldiery is almost insupportable. Persons are daily arrested
for the cut of their beards, or the color of their garments. In addition
to this, there is a bitter hostility between the French and Roman
troops, and several sanguinary quarrels have occurred. At Nice there has
been a threatening meeting, claiming the revocation of certain fiscal
regulations of the Government. There has been no league of Sardinia with
any other of the Italian States.
