Poll fortifications. The insurgents in Herzegovina have been repulsed by the Turks. Queen Victoria, it has been officially announced, will receive the Marquis D'Azeglio as Ambassador of the King of Italy. The Federal Council of Switzerland have made a similar declaration to the Turin Minister at Berne. It was reported at Rome that Garibaldi had requested his officers residing in Switzerland to be ready to assemble at his summons within fourteen days.

The concentration of military continues, and unarmed citizens, as constables, patrol Warsaw. The Emperor of Austria has rejected the Democratic programme of the Hungarian leaders, who demanded the absolute separation of the Hungarian Administration from that of Austria.

e between the two people has been more friendly, while the prosperity of both has been greatly enhanced. Austria is the only Government which has refused to treat with its subjects after they had thrown over their allegiance. The Republic of Switzerland was once a part of its dominions. It has been an independent Government for centuries, yet the Austrian Empire has never, to this day, acknowledged its independence.--Austria, the most thorough-going despotism of Europe, presents the only parallel to the policy which Abraham Lincoln has adopted towards the South. But Switzerland's independence has been made good, as that of the South will be, without asking the leave or license of a despotic Government. Mr. Grimke in the able argument from which we have quoted, refutes the common notion, that in the event of two or more Confederacies springing up, war, instead of peace, may become the permanent condition of the country. We refer to various examples which show the contrary.

petual war, while the Romans were freemen. It required many centuries to destroy the mighty fabric, but the decline began in the hour when the liberties of the people were taken away, and it was then that the legions ceased to be invincible. Great Britain has been the theatre of perpetual wars; and there it is that the fires of liberty have never been extinguished. Ireland has been the scene of but little organized war, and when was not Erin more or less in a state of subjugation? Switzerland has been the refuge of liberty in Europe through all modern times; and has, during the whole period, furnished their best soldiers to its sovereigns. It is not pretended that war does not often crush out all the vestiges of liberty, destroying it as effectually by force as does peace by undermining and corrupting it. But liberty flourishes no better in China and Japan, where they never fight in earnest, than it did in Europe while Bonaparte converted the Continent into a camp. It wa

Blistered feet --A Remedy.--I had for several years two sons at school at Geneva, Switzerland. In vacations they in company with their tutor made excursions through Switzerland, Italy, Germany, etc., on foot. bearing their knapsacks containing their necessary wants for a month. They were provided with a small bar of common brown soap, and before putting on their stockings, turned them inside out, and rubbed the soap well into the threads of them, consequently they never became foot-sore, or had blistered feet. Let our volunteers try it, and my word for it, they won't complain of sore or blistered feet. Those boys of mine are in the Seventh Regiment, and made the march from Annapolis to Washington scatheless as far as the feet were concerned, and carried their knapsacks with comparative ease, from early schooling.--N. Y. Com. Advertiser.

Death of Chevalier Bunsen. --The foreign news by the Europa announces the death, at Brown, on the 28th ult., of Chevalier Bunsen, the distinguished German statesman, philosopher and theologian, at the age of seventy years. He was the greatest linguist of his time, and had studied nearly every language in the country in which it is spoken. He was Prussian charge to Switzerland in 1838, when Frederick William III., King of Prussia died, and his warm and intimate friend, Frederick William IV., ascended the throne. It was on that occasion that he received the brief but touching letter from his royal patron, which ran very much as follows: My dear Bunsen! My father has just died, and I am about to take the throne. Oh, pray for me. Pray for me. Frederick William In 1841 Bunsen was sent to London on a special mission — in relation to the establishment of a Protestant Bishopric at Jerusalem, under the joint auspices of England and Prussia. That mission led to Chevalier Bunsen'

unity and concord among the people. The English fleet at Naples saluted King Victor Emanuel on his departure for Sicily. --This act created a sensation. The fleet left Naples in order, it was believed, to follow the King to Palermo. The stay of the King in Sicily was expected to be of short duration. A Gaeta dispatch, of the 1st inst., denies the rumor that Francis II. had ruptured a blood vessel. £65,000 sterling of "Peter's pence" had arrived at Rome from America. Switzerland. M. Dapples, from Lausanne, had been elected President, and M. Latour, from Chur, Vice President of the National Council. The election was a triumph for the National party. Austria. The official Weiner Zeitung publishes the convention between France, Austria, and Sardinia, for carrying out the partition of the debts and assets of the Monte Lombards.--The liabilities amount to 99,000,000 of lives, of which two-fifths are to be charged to Austria.

Elections in Switzerland. --Rotation in office does not appear to meet with much favor in republican Switzerland, for at the late elections, on the 7th instant, for President and members of the Federal Council, (Cabinet,) the old officers — Frey Herosee Furrer, Stæmpfl, Naef, Fornerod, Pioda, and Knuesel — were re-elected — sSwitzerland, for at the late elections, on the 7th instant, for President and members of the Federal Council, (Cabinet,) the old officers — Frey Herosee Furrer, Stæmpfl, Naef, Fornerod, Pioda, and Knuesel — were re-elected — several of whom have been re-elected every three years, and have served ever since the adoption of the present Federal Constitution in 1848. The Republic of Switzerland has had several very severe political crises to go through, and has also had the combined diplomacy of Europe to contend with; but nevertheless, from the excellence 1848.

French Immigration. Immigration statistics show that France sends almost as few emigrants to this country as Switzerland; not a very proof, a contemporary observes, of the superiority of democratic over despotic governments.

t most amiable and most kindhearted person, and to have led a life of humble and exemplary plenty. Certain it is, that his object in suggesting a different mode of punishment from that in general use, was purely benevolent. It seems from the statement of Du Bois--who has written the most reliable account of these matters — that Guillotin got his first notion of a beheading machine — not from the Halifax Gibbet, nor the Scottish Maiden — but from an anonymous book of travels in Italy and Switzerland, in which the author describes the execution of a certain Count Bozelli, at Milan, in 1702, by an instrument resembling the guillotine.--This seems, indeed, to have been the common method of executing great criminals throughout the continent in the 17th century. One of Richeliru's victims, the Marshal De Montmorenci, was beheaded by a similar one at Toulouse in the year 1632. It has been said that the Jews and Romans employed the same means to punish offenders; but of this there is no a<

treating foe. Our artillery was not rendered efficient in the afternoon. Gen. Tyler neglected to guard his rear, and to check the pushing forward of his trains. As for the Colonels, many of those who were not wounded or killed in the engagement exhibited not merely inefficiency, but the pusillanimity which I have before recorded. To conclude: Before we can force our way through a country as well adapted for strategies defence as the fastnesses of the Peidmontese, the defiles of Switzerland, or the almost unconquerable wilds in which Schamyliso long held the Russians at bay, before we can possess and advance beyond the scientific entrenchments with which the skill of disloyal officers has made those Virginia forests so fearfully and mysteriously deathful to our patriotic soldiery, we must discover the executive leader whose genius shall oppose new modes of subduing a novel and thus far successful method of warfare, and whose alert action shall carry his devices into resistle
