The intelligence ia of extraordinary interest. The King of Prussia ha* lieen dethroned and bis minister* imprisoned. The Prince Hoyal escaped to Ensland.

All the Polish prisoner* confined in Prussia for political offences have been liberated. A complete revolution had taken place in Lombardy, but not without the shedding oi much blood.

The Arch Duke Stephen has been chosen viceroy of Hungary. The King of Bavaria has abdicHted the throne in favor of the Prince Royal, who ascends the throne wiih the title of Maximilian the second.

The Milanese, alter a bloody battle, have obtained possession of the city. The King of Hanover has acceded to nil the demands of the people, and hound himself lo submit to the bitter necessity which called Anabrick, a liberal depuly, to a Mat in the Cabinet.

It was expected that the Em|ieror of Austria would be compelled to abdicate the throne. The Emperor of Russia was increasing his army to resist the flood of anarchy and revolution spreading around him. He has also refused to recognize the French Republic.

The King of Naples has yielded to all the demands of the people. The greatest excitement prevailed in Paiis.— Difficulties had arisen between the rich and the poor—the former were compelled to bar their doors, to resist the attacks of the latter—and the military were called out lo suppress llie riols.

Failures continue to occur in Paris. The house of the Rothschilds is named among the number, hut this is doubted.

The report of a revolution in Poland is confirmed. Four hundred Polnnders had left Paris, to join their countrymen in the war for independence.

Genoa has declared its determination to separate from Sardinia, and in favor of the esiublishment of a republican Government.

Mr. Freaner. who arrived here on the 16th instant wiih despatches from Washington, brought, among other communications, an order to Gen. Butler to send Mr. Trist out of the country as soon as he had given his evidence before ihe court of inquiry, and. I am led lo believe, as a prisoner. Gen. Butler immediately communicated to Mr. Trist the orders of the government, and apprized him of his intention to execute them. Mr. Trist then addressed a long letter lo General Butler, denying his right to arrest, or forcibly move from the country, an American ciiiz-n. The reply of the General was briefly, that he had received orders from his government, imperative in their nature, and that he would execute them to the let'er and, furthermore, that it was neither his duty nor inclination to reply to the argument of Mr. Trist ia relation to bis rights as a citizen.

GENTLEMEN.—I have had the honor to receive your polite invitation for the l'ith inst., and thank you sincerely for the obliging terms in which you have been pleased to commuuicale the wishes of your associates.

I hope to be able to leave the City before ihe 12th inst, but candor requires me to add that the position in which Mr.

CLAY

has been placed by his friends in relation to the pending canvass for the Presidency, will unavoidably attach too much of a partisan character to your festival to permit me lo participate in it consistently with my views of propriety.— The rule I have prescribed to myself in such matters Would induce me to decline an invitation given under like circumstances by my political friends.

I do not, however, regret that your politeness has made it proper for me to say, that you do no more than justice to my feelings in assuming that I appreciate as they deserve, the commanding talent and manly (rankness which have so often been displayed by your distinguished frientl in the councils of the nation and that I have sufficient candor and liberality to recognize those characteristics in a political opponent. To you who understand the matter, it would be superfluous to speak of the very wide difference of opinion which for so many Vears existed, and does still exist, between Mr.

and myself, in regard to almost every public question. But we are fortunately too liberal to suffer such differences to affect injuriously our personal relations^
