The Week.
that on the Gth of October the King will " return at Compiegne the visit paid him at Baden" by the Emperor Napoleon . The King has invited the members of the representative chamber to attend the approaching coronation ceremonies . The guests are informed that they are to receive a certain specified allowance each day as travelling expenses and for maintenance in Konigsberg , and some of the German papers complain that the amount is so small as
either to compel members to decline the invitation or to undergo considerable personal expense in order to enjoy the honour of accepting it .- All the 2 iublic functionaries of the county of Pesth , from the highest to the lowest , have tendered their resignations to the Austrian Government , and thus the Alenna Cabinet has no agents in the metropolis of Hungary except its taxgatherers , soldiers , and police . From the perfect concert and deliberation which mark the policy of the Magyar leaders , we may presume
that fche example set in Pesth will be generally followed throughout Hungary . The meeting of the Assembly of the Pesth county has been forcibly prevented hy the soldiery . The collection of taxes by military execution is to be rigorously enforced . But there is not the slightest token of wavering among the Hungarian population , all , or almost all , the members of the dissolved Diet liaving been assured that they will be re-elected hy their constituentsand the fullest determination being expressed to
, persevere obstinately in a system of passive resistance till a favourable opportunity shall arise for a resort to force . Some of the Hungarian and Austrian journals give currency to a statement that the cause of the Montenegrins is to he aided by a Hungarian legion , under the command of General Turr . It is extremely improbable , however , that General Turr would engage himself at present in the cause of the Montenegrins , or any oreign
people . It is gratifying : to find thafc the harvest in Hungary is unusually abundant . This is advantageous to Europe in general , whose inhabitants will want all the food supplies that can be procured , and ifc is of special importance to Austria , as it has put the Hungarian peasantry into good humour and less disposed to listen to political agitators . The southern portion of the new Italian kingdom is gradually being restored to a state of order and security . AVith few exceptions the brigands are now confined to their
mountain fastnesses ; but this retreat must fail them as winter approaches , when they must either submit or starve . The high price of provisions is , however , giving rise to disturbances in other parts of the country , and serious riots are reported to have broken out at Bologna , Ravenna , and Sugo . The ivorkmen ' s societies are also likely to give trouble to tho government by entering into tbe arena of politics , if not revolution . A . t the first sitting of the Congress on Saturday , at Florence , they adopted a resolution to the effect
that they should occupy themselves with politics in order to acquire strength to resist the government if it attempted anything contrary to the welfare of the nation , such as the cession of Sardinia , & e . Several members protested and abstained from voting . A Neapolitan reactionist , Borges by name , claiming to hold a commission direct from the ex-King of Naples , has been defeated , and his hand dispersed by the peasantry . A Mazzinian expedition intended for the Roman States has been stopped bthe Italian government .
y The expedition , composed of about 100 men , sailed from Genoa in a small vessel , which was compelled to put into a Tuscan port , and was there seized by the authorities . Public feeling at Naples has been greatly excited by tho issue of inflammatory handbills bearing the not very intelligible motto , " Italy , Emmanuel at Rome with Garibaldi . " Patrols were traversing the streets . AMEEICA . —The interest of the later American intelligence
conveyed to us is almost exclusively confined to accounts of engagements at Lexington , in Missouri . We are told that on the 18 th ult General Price , at the head of 30 , 000 Secessionists , attacked the Federal forces , which previous accounts represented to be intrenched , and to he under the command of Colonel Mulligan . Although the Federal troops numbered no more than 3500 men , we are assured that they " scattered " the Secessionists by a " bayonet charge oi the Irish Brigade . " This repulse of General Priceon the ISth
, , seems probably to be the defeat chronicled hy a New York telegram of the 19 th ult ., brought by the Asia , which reported that he had been overthrown with a loss of 4000 men , the victorious Federalists ' loss not exceeding 800 men . AVe are now , however , told that the " scattered " Secessionists were to renew the attack on Lexington on the 19 th , hut that the Federal commander had received a reinforcement of 4000 men , and expected the arrival of other troops ,
so that " General Price would be cut off . " It is said that at another place in Missouri , called Blue Mills Landing , a body of 600 Secessionists has been " routed with heavy loss" hy a superior Federal ¦ force . Disregarding the requisition of the Kentuck y Legislature , a corps of 11 , 000 Confederates is reported to have occupied Mayfield , and to he engaged in fortifying the place ; and the approaching outbreak of civil war in Kentucky is foreshadowed by the Federal
party ' s seizure of the office of the Louisville Courier , and arrest of one of its proprietors . The New York Herald announces

that some of the regiments assembled in Long Island had already been embarked for an expedition to the Southern coasts , and that several other expeditions were contemplated . The AVashington government had prevented the meeting of the Maryland Legislature by the expedient of summarily seizing and imprisoning the members of the Secessionist majority . Most ofthe arrests were effected at midnight . INDIA AND CHINA . —The Indian news brought by the Calcutta
mail contains nothing of striking interest , no change , either in political or commercial matters , being observable . The cholera was spreading far and wide , abating in one district only to make its appearance in another . It had been very fatal in the military station of Meean Meer Lahore , carrying off two-thirds of those attacked . It is feared its ravages will not he stopped till thesetting in of the cold weather .

Trade was much cramped by the injurious action of the Chinese customsunder foreign inspectors j and the Chambers of Commerce of Shaiighae and Hong-Kong , and
other commercial communities , were about to appeal to the Home Government on the subject . The attack on the members of the English embassy at Jeddo is confirmed , and full details of the outrage are now afforded .

The authorities in the colony seem to be at cross purposes with regard to the part the colony should take in the succession of the
chiefship of their barbarous but formidable neighbours the Zulus ; and nothing but the promptitude with which our troops were assembled on the frontier prevented a war . The colonists are represented as excessively indignant that their Legislative Council will not allow them to contribute to their own defence , and a meeting was about to he held to protest aud remonstrate on the subject .
