LATEST INTSLLIGENCE—ARRIVAL OF THE ENGLISH | MAIL.

Ow Saturday forenoon the Courier arrived in Charlottetown | with a portion of the English Mail, which reached Halifax on | Sunday, the 18th inst., together with the usual Colonial and | American Mails.

NEWS BY THE ENGLISH MAIL.

PRUSSIAN INVASION OF SWITZERLAND.

The object of the preparations that have been made in Prussia to this time is to have 135,000 men in march on the 2d of January. The Prussian troops are formed into nine divisions, of which each corps d‘armee furnishes one. These nine divisions are concentrated into four corps, supported by a division of reserve. Count Groben is appointed command- er-in-chief; the commandants of corps are Generals Werder, Wussow, Lorin and Schack. The Prince of Hohenzollern | commands the division of reserve; and the division of the | guard, in the first corps, is under the command of Prince Frederick Charles of Prussia.

The contest between Prussia and Switzerland is a most! unequal one, if the material forces only of the two countries are to be taken into account. Prussia bas a population of | rather more than seventeen millions of souls, and an annual revenue of about twenty millions of English money. Switzerland has a population of rather less than two-and-a- | balf millions of souls, and an annual revenue of less than a million of Kuglish money. On the peace establishment of} the Prussian army there are 130,000 regular troops ; this | pumber can be augmented in time of war to 300 000 men, | available for active service, with a reserve of 250°000 for | girrison daty. The regular Swiss army numbers only | 72,000, with areserve of 36,000. It must be kept in mind, | however, that in the event of hostilities actually taking place, the Swiss will fight on their own soil, whilst the Prussians will havea long fand march to reach them. The Prussian toldiers will have to contend with the whole adult male | population. The Prussians, too, will have to march through | neutral States, where, as they can neither take the liberties | they could in their own country, nor the still greater liberties | they would take in an enemy's country, their movements wiil be much hampered, and their expenses increused. A sense of shame, too, as well as a fear of trying too far the patience

of even his subserviewt Chambers, will prevent the King of | p

Pruesia from putting forth all his force in a war with the Helvetic Confederation, on the trumpery ground of quarrel he alleges. Besides, he is not sufficiently tranquil on the score of public opinion at home to leave his own territories with- out a suilicieut number of regular troops to put down any revolutionary Or insurrectionary movements that may take piace while he is waging war at a distance,

The Prussian invasion of Switzerland must take place from the Northern, or German frontier. The Emperor of the French has, it is true, shown himself very anxious to court the favour of the Prussian Monarch, but he will stop short

would not be safe to re-awaken the French people's reminis- cences of the Prussian army of occupation in 1815, by al-| lowing Prussian troops to encamp in France. The Northern rontier of Switzerland extends from the head of the Lake of Constance to Basle, where the course of the Rhinechang s suddeuly from a western to a northern. The entire length of this froutier is about 150 Eaglish miles; but theynature ef the ground trom the head of Lake Constance to Schaff- hausen—a distance of rather more than a hundred miles— renders it in the last degree improbable that any attempt will be made in that quarter. The portion of this frontier which lies between Schaffhausen and Basle—a distance of little wore than 40 English miles, when the windings of the Rhine re not taken into account—is more assailable. The Federal

formerly there was nothing but idleness and misery

eriny would be insufficient to defend ali the points at which | the ithine can be eros-ed ; and the Swiss have no strona for- |

tresses. The towns of Schaffhausen and Basle could offer | uo protracted resistance, and the valleys of the Aar and| Liumst, which open upon the Rhine from the South, consti- | tute the most accessible portion of Switzerland. | But to compensate for these advantages under which the | Swiss would be placed when assajled from the North, the | Rhine frontier is that upon which the whole available forces | of the Confederation can be most easily concentrated. The distance between Basle and Schaffiaausen, as has already been observed, is little more than 40 English miles. Berne, the teat of the Central Government, is situated about 50 English tiles to the North of Busle, and about 70 to the north-west |

|

of Schaffhausen. With the exception of the Grisons and | ‘Ticino, all the cantons have easy communication with this | frontier. The districts of the Rhone and Lake Leman have |

|

access to it across the comparatively inconsiderable heights te the north of the Jake; and all the other cantons are a series of valleys radiating from the Rhine frontier as froma eentre,

The conformation of the whole country is such ‘as to fa- cilitate the movement of an army, with all the necessary

materiel, to the frontier, to encounter an invading force, and |

its falling back with all its stores,and scattering through the Various valleys to prolong a desoMory and harrassing guerilla

Neufchatel to escape without trial, is simply a demand that they shall hold out to all “ privy conspiracy and rebellion ” the prospect of impunity in all time coming. If that demand is complied with, the maintenance of law and order will henceforth be impossible in Switzerland.

Auieerd Ixrervention or Exetanp is tar Nevecnares |

Arratn.—The Nord has the following telegraphic despatch from Berlin :—* The English Minister has invited the envoys of the Powers who have not hitherto interfered in the Neuf. chatel difficulty to urge the Federal Coune'l to set the royalist prisoners at liberty. The object of this intervention

‘appears fo be to obtain such an arrangement as that Prussia |

way make an important concession, on proof being given by the Federal Couiecil of a sincere desire for conciliation and peace,”

The director of Military Affairs (says the Sriss National Gazette) has declared that the Federal Council offered the Prussian Cabinet to enlarge the prisoners before trial, in ex- change for a relinquishment ‘of Neufchatel, but without success,

Exotanp and Prussia.—The Kreuz Zeitung asserts that the English Ambassader at the Prussian Court (Lord Bloomfield) now supports the demands of Prussia against Switzerland,

Forrnen Prevarattons ror War.—Four more divisions are ordered to be ealled out by the Swiss Confederation. All militiamen on leave of absence are ordered to be recalled, and officers summoved from furlough. The preparations fur war are universal. The students of the University of Zurich have volunteered for the military service. The popular enthusiasm and determination to resist the invader is increasing. The Prussian agent has been expelled as a promoter of rebellion.

Latest Prase or tar Neurcaaret, Acaresston.—The Journal de Frankfort says that the Courcil of Berne proposed au arrangement between the Confederation and Prussia by diplomacy, but has failed; the situation is be- coming very serious. Switzerland is quiet, but resolved. The Goverament of Berne has published a proclamation. The preparations for resistance to their invader are universal.

Toe War wira Pexsta—Tue Excuse Uvrmaroy.— Advices from Constantinople state that Ferouk-Khan trans- mitted Lord Stratford de Redcliffe’s ultsmatum to Teheran on the Sth. The ultimatum, according to these advices, demands a revision of the treaties with Persia, the evacua- tion of Herat, authority to found factories along the coasts of the Persian Gulf, and the concession to an English company of certain railways to be made across the Persian territory. Persia is supported by Russia in demanding neatrality from Turkey, but England demands permission fur the passage of troops across the. Turkish territory. The Imaum of Muscat has refused to pay his annual tribute to Persia,

Letters from Bagdad of the 12th ult. prove that up to that date no account of the commencement of hostilities between the English and Persians had reached that city. Mr. Marray, the English minister, was still there with a part of the stuff of his mission. The above was received by the Danube, which brought Constantinople dates to the 14th. Letiers to the 16th have since been received. By these we learn that confused rumors about what was going on in ersia were filling Constantinople. Murad Mirza, the General who captured Herat, was represented as having marched southward, towards the sources of the river Heriroud, and as having occupied Fullah, which is situated in the dominions of the Ameer Dost Mohammed. The dis- tance from Herat to Fullah does not exceed 180 miles, but the intervening country has always been considexed as very unfavorable to the mareh of regular troops.

Prospertty or Inetanp. — The famine and pestilence which ravaged Ireland, and compelled an enormous emigra- tion, were supposed at the time to have plunged the country into hopeless depression. Tne effect, however, was to relieve

itof its surplus population; and the Exeumbered Estates

Court, it is stated, has now disposed of real estate amounting to one hundred millions of dollars. This has altered the entire state of things, has trausferred the land to those possessed of capital, and, having means of availing them- selves of skill, to cultivate and improve it. Contrary to the general impression, we learn that not more than one-sixth of the purchasers of these estates are Kuglish and Scotch, the immense majority being Lrish ; and now, in general, there are comfortable and contented tenantry, and laborers where

Throughout the whole of Ireland there is not a provincia paper that does not proclaim the great dimunition of the iv- mates of the poor-houses. The change is such, from the facilities fur employment, that bardly any are now in them except the aged, the infirm, or the orphaned. Dublin is the only place which now complains of paupers, and here they aré said to be less in number thay in the worst of times. Two-thirds of them are described as having been forced in from the Provinces, where they properly belong, and as that class who resort ta the poor-houses fur the asylum they affurd.— Baltimore Patriot.

COLONIAL NEWS. Loss or tue Sure Wersrorp, anp Metancuoty Loss or | Lirk.—We regret to learn by a telegraph despatch to the owners here, that the fine new ship Welsford, Isaac Hatfield, master, which sailed from this pot on the 18th Dee., for Liverpool, was totally lost off Cape Raee on the 25th of the sume month, and that out of twenty six souls on board, only the mate and two seamen were saved. This melancholy accident has caused much sensation in this community, as several of those on board are connected in this and the adjoining Province. ‘The names of the two seamen saved are not given.

The Welsford was a splendid new ship of 1292 tons, and her melancholy loss must be much regretted by her enterprising owners, notwithstanding both vessel and freight were covered by insurance, the greater portion of which was, we learn, in this City.—.\2w Brunswicker, Jan. 15.

Suie Masestic. — Extract from Owner’s log.—December 4, Thursday, 94 clock, p. m., set sail from anchorage outside of Bloek-house. Friday, Sth, at noon, passed through the Gut of Canso, and at 4, in the after- noon, took our departure from Cango light; bad a favourable time until Saturday, 13th, when the wind died away, and came on from the south. Up to this time ship making considerable water, but one pump kept her free. At 12 o’clock at night commenced blowing beavy, and at &, Sun- day morning, had increased to a gale, which continued for 24 hours; ship lying to under close reefed main topsails, and increasing in making water; both pumps kept constantly going. 7 o’clock, Monday morning, sounded, and found seven and a half feet of water in the hold; decided® it would be useless to continue at the pumps any longer; all hands com- meuced sending down royal and top-gallant-sails, yards, masts, rigging, and all connected, so as to reduce the top weight as much as possible; threw overboard deck-load, and knocked out the bulwark boards. Tues- day, 16th—wind fair and moderate—was spoken by aship bound to New York, who offered assistance, which we declined. The crew—except the master, two mates, carpenter, one seaman and steward—determined to leave us, but would not be allowed to take a boat off the deck. The ship had now settled from 14 to 18 feet—the water being up to within two feet of the deck—but the buoyancy of the cargo, consisting of deals be- tween deeks, prevented her settling further. 24th—Since the 16th, had been favoured with fair wind and moderate weather; 10, p m., passed Cork. 25th—Christmas morning—off Tusker; wind come in from the north-east, blowing a gale; ship laying to and labouring heavily—about 25 miles from Irish coast—the sea making a complete breach over her; sailor’s house full of water, their chests broken up, and their clothes and | bedding washed overboard, all bands aft in the cabin kept busy bailing out; had the iron railing on the main cabin well lashed down, and this place being six feet higher than the main deck afforded the only shelter from the water, but was very cold. Continued thus until morning of the 27th, when we succeeded in getting into Cork; got assistance from the shore; had ship pumped out; left that port on the 30th, and reached Liverpool on the lst of January. Much praise is due to Capt. Nowlan for his determined conduct during the voyage. He isa thorough seaman; a resulute working man, of strong constitution, and not easily unnerved,
