Grrmany.—By letters of the 7th inst., from Vienna, 
we learn that Count de Bombelles, the Austrian minister 
to the Swiss Confederation, died that morning in the 
capital, where he had been for some time on leave of 
absence. The Hungarian Diet has voted the usual 
address in reply to the speech of the Emperor on opening 
the session. The address contains one remarkable pas- 
fage. It calls the attention of the Imperial Government 
to the undue and extraordinary influence which Russia 
has acquired of late years in the provinces bordering on 
the Danube, and it prays the Government to take mea- 
sures to counteract it. They have also passed @ law 
excluding Latin altogether, as a language to be used in 
public deliberations ; and have brought in a motion to 
Tequest the Emperor to make a law ‘ that all members of 
the Imperial family learn and speak the Hungarian idiom. 
It is stated that a negotiation is about to be opened 
between the Austrian and French Governments relative to 
& new arrangement of the postage between the two States, 
and particularly for putting an end to the necessity of

the 27th ult. have been received by the packet-ship 
Garrick, which arrived at Liverpool on Tuesday. Mr. 
Legare, the Attorney-General of the United States, who 
had accompanied the President on his tour, died at Boston 
on the 20th ult., after an illness of three days. The 
funeral was attended by the President and the members 
of his Cabinet, the authorities of Boston, and crowds of 
citizens. The President, owing to indisposition and the 
sudden death of Mr. Legare, had stopped in the course of 
his tour, and returned to Washington. Mrs. Catherine 
Cochrane, alias Gilmour, charged with having murdered 
her husband at Paisley, had been arrested at New York, 
where she had arrived in a vessel from Liverpool, by. a 
Scotch police officer, who had arrived by the Columbia 
steamer. Having been brought up at the poli ffi

the change is to increase the number of Members from 
twenty-two to twenty-four, and that of the voters to about 
double the former constituencies. The Gomer French 
steamer of war had been on shore near Guadaloupe, but. 
was got off without receiving damage. Two smart but 
momentary shocks of earthquake had been felt at Antigua 
on the 9th and 11th June.

HOUSE OF LORDS. 
Friday.—The resolutions of the Marquess of CLANRICARDE, 
which we briefly noticed in our last, gave rise to a long and 
remarkable discussion on the affairs of Ireland. Lord CLanri~ 
cCARDE declared his opinion that the attempt to degrade the ques- 
tion of repeal by the impolitic, unwise, unjust, and absurd dis- 
missal of magistrates, had been followed by consequences the 
very reverse of what its promoters anticipated from it. The 
present state of Ireland he attributed to two causes— the grind- 
ing poverty and misery of the people, and the policy of the present 
Government, which had found the country tranquil, and had aided 
in placing it in its present condition within the short period that
