THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING. JUNE 11, 1851._ SPAIN. to his pastoral slanders on the primate •. ate address of veneration and eoußdenwe bishop of their province. ' in Mg of :influential laymen 1 solemnly protest , against epieropal power, and to demnation ot their in spirit, if no i l p T4in rogative and . esesequence of w hit ad\ . that Vied, if ever it meet, has to be held in secret; so Gat the world will he kept in happy ignorance of the odium thedogicion therein vented and di& Thisresistance in Devonshire to the prelatisal movelty in the church of England of such an assecs hinge as a diocesan synod is made in the best spirit at our ecclesiastical traditions, and with an instinctive conformity to the legal position of the church in this realm. For had it been accepted as a conatitutiood entity ; had it been submitted to as the exercise of a power inherent in the episcopacy of our church; had it been sanctioned by quiescence as a develop- 1 meat in the right direction of its indestructible e , w. siastical authority ; the holding of such an assembly would, in point of fact and reality, have constituted the commencement of a serious oounter-revoln- tion in the church of England. Whereas, treated as it is now sure to be, repudiated by a large proportion of the clergy affected to be represented and sum moned ; and protested against to the primate and ' sovereign by the leading laity of the great county . of Devon, it sinks into a legal nothing; a mere evasion and avoidance of the statutes of the land suggested by some quirking, quibbling lawyer; a sort of hole and corner meeting of a few intolerant ecclesiastics to give to words which they repeat every Sunday an interpretation by innuendo, which were they to dare to put into formal terms and shape would con stitute a breach of the law of the land, and to the moral offence of bigotry would add the legal offence of misdemeanor. It is, we know, the opinion of many excellent men in the church, and amongst others of ono whose opi nions are always valuable and suggestive, the Arch bishop of DCBLIN, that the church of England ought to be possessed of some inherent powers or organisa tion of self-government. Herein we venture to differ from persons who are not to be named except with feelings of respect and gratitude; persuaded that both the church and the state will be best served, and the interests of religion be best promoted by a strict and faithful adherence to the legal relations which now subsist between them, and to the law as it has descended to us from the Reformation. But that is not at all the point involved in the Bishop of EXETER'S present proceedings. It is a fair and open question, we admit, though on it we have no doubt, whether the church of England should be supplied with a separate and independent machinery of its own, as the Kirk of Scotland has in its local ecclesiastical courts and in its general assem blies; and whenever that question bo ventilated it will be discussed as befits its gravity and importance. What the Bishop of EXETER practically asserts, and what all competent authorities will as positively deny, is that in provincial convocations or in diocesan synods the church has a true, undoubted, and pre-existing nucleus of such authority ; and that the step he is now taking is its fair and legitimate development. Grant that—admit that there is even a shadow of a foundation fur a summons such as that he has issued, and the principle to be discussed is formally conceded, the idea of a synod will domineer over the controveriy, and the old pest that the clergy are substantially, it not exclusively, the Church, will revive in greater vigour than ever. Hence the notion that any such meeting as that to bo held on the 23th being a constitutional reality, is to be rejected and repudiated in limuse. The idea that Syneds have a certain right and essential independence in them selves, must not then be permitted to creep silently into men's minds. It is utterly repugnant to the constitution of a state church in England, and is a substantial con travention of our statute law. Thu Act of Submis sion by the clergy is still unrepealed ; and what says its recital—the prayer of the clergy? - - - . When the King's humble and obedient subjects, the clergy of this realm of England, have nut only knowledged according to the truth that the convocation of the clergy is, always bath been, and ought to be assembled only by the King's writ; butalse, submitting them,elves to the King's Majesty, have nrunnaed, PI cede enterdens, that the 7 will bmccfarth pre,ume to attempt, allege, claim, or put In use. or enact, promulge, or execute any new canons, con stitutions, onlinances ' provincial or other, by whatso e ver I name they shall be called in convocation, units* the King's most royal assent and license may to them bo Mul, to make, promulge, and execute the MOW, and that his Majesty do give his most royal authority sad assent in that behalf. Can words of submission go further ? Can the abrogation of all essential independence on the part of the clergy be more plainly and comprehensively expressed. Is it possible for any fair logician to contend that the synod of Exeter is not a coutraven fiat' of this recital? 'True it is that Bishop Plum, Parrs, with the keen scent of a beagle of the ELno's kennel, does not intend to violate its enacting pro visions; because he proposes to confine his assembly to a mere repetition of a single article of our creed—" One baptism for the remission of sins"—but the sense which he means by the repetition to assign to it, is substantially, though not virtually, an exercise of that power winch is here so emphatically disclaimed. To say, with this statute before him, on the authority of an °biter dictum of an old divine, as Br. Plitu.Porrs does, that the Church of England, its bishops, or the clergy, have any inherent independence is certainly the rashest of all inlaginable and possible assertions. There is nothing more repugnant to our constitu tional system than separate and distinct church courts, church legislation, or church laws ; the certain and inevitable result of which is spiritual despotism. And against it our only and true security is exactly what we for ages have enjoyed—the law of the land, the supremacy of parliament, and the arbitrament in last resort of the ordinary tribunals of the country. This it is which has hitherto kept the church of England broad and comprehensive ; this it is which still guarantees the religious freedom of the nation. Since the tractarian theory gained entrance into the church, it has been the fashion to speak and to treat the church of England as en independent society, endowed with certain privileges from the state which it may forfeit by misconduct, or resign by choice, and yet retain its independence. But this is an entire mistake. The church in this country is not, as against the state, a self-subsistent society. As a body of Christians it is of course indestructible by the state; but as an ecclesiastical corporation it is destructible. It exists as the church of England, because of the state; and, whenever the state chooses, it cease, to be the church of England. and must bo organised tie noro as a new and voluntary church. When, then, Dr. Pull.nrorrs, by virtue, as he al leges, of some inherent power existing in each bishop of the church of England, independently, irrespec tively of the state, is summoning and about to hold what he calls a diocesan synod, wo venture to reply that the church of England is a parliamentary church: that it has no temporal power mare what the state has given it ; and that all the state has conferred it may recall. If the reply is unpleasant, the fault lies with the Bishop of EXETER, who, by his indis cretion and intemperance, provokes such inquiries as these. ADVANCE OF THE AUSTRIANS INTO THE PAPAL STATES. It was stated in yesterday's Erpresa that tele graphic advices from received cu Vienna an nounce the advance of Austrian troops into the Pajial province of Spoleto. The intelligence is being confirmed by the Wiener Zeitung of the 7th inst., which mentions the movement as in course of prep. aration. Lithographirte Correspondenz, also an ads eial medium of publication, adds that the movement has taken place in conformity with a convention poised between the Austrian, French, and Papal governments. - We cannot but receive this explana tion with great suspicion. The movement, at any rate, is curiously close upon the publication of the celebrated papal memorandum which we lately published, and which the governments of Vienna and Items were so quick in disclaiming. Ws do not hear of any diminution in the immense army which the ring of Naples has assembled at Capna. Rome is exactly midway between Capua and Spoleto. THE LATE LIECT.43 ENZILAL ON THE STAFF AT NOVA SCOTIA.—Liest-Gessral Sir Jobs Harvey, 1L.C.8., whoy bold tho °Dogwood of the troops at Nova BMW, los arrival i• tows has that Mika. of the . been spores suppression of the b to the _ _ and to the Odeon Theatre. It has alio de nei a reduction of 300,000 fr. on the aid to re- a TO- hi. Eugene Formic, editor of the lifesaver, and distin • ed by the virulence of his &Ueda upon the yak, was tried to-day for an article attributing an order to the Minister of War for the marching of several regiments on Paris. He was condemned to three months' imprisonment and 600 fir. line. The gerant was acquitted. To weigh nicely the votes of the bureaux on an occasion when the Assembly is evidently acting under the instinct of passion and resentment, is but a sterile occupation, which can lead to no approxi mate estimate of the final result; nor is it even of much use to analyse the composition of a committee appointed under such circumstances. The same coalition which censured the Baroche ministry and threw out the Potation Bill, has marred the first attempt to open the question of revision. The only motions brought forward, those of Payer, Larabit, end de Broglie, have been repudiated by the ex tremes and centre of the Chamber as merely schemes for prolonging the powers of the President. Even the fusionists and moderate legitimists are opposed to revision expressed in such terms. The party of the government is represented by only three out of the fifteen. De Mornay and Base are of the ob structive Thiers faction. The ultra-legitimists, ex eluded themselves, rub their hands over the presence of four impracticable democrats in acommitte appointed to correct the vices of a democratic work. Berryer and de Melon are the representatives of moderate legitimacy ; Moulin of fusion, which amounts to pretty much the same thing, the fusionists propo si ng, like the moderate legitimists, to give the traditional monarchy a constitutional rig. One cannot bat re gard the presence of three moderate and able men like Odilon Barrot, de Tocqueville, and de Corcelles in such incongruous assembly a fortunate circum stance involving a germ of hope which may ultimately open the path to a legal and pacific solu tion of the crisis. Be Tocqueville evidently leans towards revision ; but he dreads the crude im perialism of Persigny, de Morny, and others, whose influence upon Louis Napoleon has always constituted the most serious difficulty of the President's ministers. Much depends at the present moment upon the attitude which the party of de Tocqueville takes up towards the government, for these will turn the scale in the committee, The personal influence of niers and the rigour of Dufaure seem to hamper and hold back the conciliatory spirits of the centre from giving that support to the government to which they are prompted by the conscience of good sense, and by a just appre ciation of public opinion. The time seems therefore at hand when a split will occur in the fraction of the regency-Orleanists, the Ices obstinate returning once more to the Club of the Pyramides, which they de serted last January. This eventuality, however, will entirely depend upon the moderation of the Pre sident, and upon his disavowal of all rash designs. In the meantime, revision is looked upon as dead born ; and people are already beginning to speculate upon the more favourable turn the question may take when resuscitated in the beginning of October. The proceedings of the Assembly to-day were devoid of interest. The Sugar Bill was read for the third time. The first deliberation of the bill for founding establish ments of landed credit was closed ; and it was agreed to pass to a second reading. The usual presontation of petitions took place at the commencement of the sitting. M. Sautayra has moved the following amendment to the bill on the Avignon Railway: "The railway shall commence at La Guilloticre, where a terminus for goods and travellers shall be constructed, and connected by a cheinin de ceintorc with the Paris line. Beyond La Guilloticre the railway shall follow the left bank of the Rhone to Avignon." A duel with the small sword took place yesterday, in the Bois de Boulogne, between Pierre Bonaparte and M. Nieuwerkerke, director of the Museum. The latter having been wounded in the thigh, the combat was closed, and the requisitions of honour declared to be satisfied. The Voir du Proacril of the 7th contains a demo cratic manifesto, signed by Martini, Ledru-ltollin, Darusz, and huge, pointing the progress of Europe towards republicanism. This is the signal for en outcry of the royalist papers against Lord Palmerston. Our foreign secretary is regarded with horror, as the fosterer of pestiferous demagogues, whose sole and constant aim is to flood Europe with anarchy. The manifesto does not meet with much favour from the democratic papers. The National excuses itself from printing this promise of the democratic milennium, from want of space. The Sieek has its two inner pages entirely covered with a sort of statistical map, drawn up by M. Rigel, representative of the people, and showing the results of universal suffrage, as understood by the democratic party, and those of the law of May 31. It gives 9,918,004 voters for the former case, and 6,711,186 for the latter. Tho map professes to give, by means of dark lines, an exact idea of the differ ence effected by the latter mode of voting in every one of the 86 departments of France. The Legitimists are distributing amongst the la bourers and workmen of the western departments medals of Henri V. as a rally sign. At Mirsbcau :rush agitation was caused by the distribution that the local authorities had to interfere to prevent a collision. M. Forth Rouen, Minister Plenipotentiary from France to Greece, has arrived at Marseilles, whence he is immediately to embark on board a government steamer for Athens. M. Cabet has arrived in Paris, and has already commenced his appeal against the sentence pro nounced against him by the Correctional Police. M. Mocrenhout, ex-consul of France at Monterey, has just arrived in Paris, with despatches from th e Sandwich Islands and California. M. Mocrenhout has made the voyage from San Francisco to Paris in fifty days, rid Panama. Narvac: has left for London. The Messayer reports that General *tendon is to take the post vacated byy General d'llautpoul, at Algiers, and to be eeccecded in the Ministry of War by General Aupick. The Bourse was pretty firm. A slight decline of 15c. took place in the Fives; the Threes fell 10e. ITALY. In its sitting of the 6th, the Chamber of Deputies of Turin commenced the discussion on the bill for the abolition of certain privileges of Nice, which, our '<Adore will remember. consist in a free port. snrl the right of transporting merchandise at a premium I over the steep Colic di Tends. The chamber had to discuss the ministerial measure, containing six teen articles, and the amendments of the committee, which reduce the articles to three, and introduce radical modifications into the bill. Signor Cavour, Minister of Commerce, opened the debate, and stated that the government was willing to main tain the free port, but could not consent to the continuation of the exhorbitant rights relating to the Celle di Tends, which created a privilege most disadvantages to the rest of the country. If the old charters upon which those rights were grounded were to be scrupulously adhered to, why did not the Chem bee respect those of the Ossola and the Valle di Seek ? why did they not allow Chieri :o coin money? The minister then proceeded to explain certain calcu lations, from which it appeared that the free port was a real and not an imaginary benefit to the town; and ihe thought compensation might be offered for the abolition of the privileges of the Colle di Tends in the shape of other more bensficial financial laws. Signor Paolo Farira spoke in favour of the o amendments of the committee, which repose on the t contrary the abolition of th e free , and the pre servation of the privilege of the C o Tdi Tends. The dimension was adjourned to the following day. The Croce di &sepia, of Turin, quotes letters from Rome of tha 2nd, stating that General Gemean has insisted upon fibs removal from Rome of Colonels .Rests, Freddi, Nardoni, and Altai. of the pontifical service. This presentation has caused, it wdetld ap =zeal amtonishmeat among the members of t he Callow. An animated debate took place in the Senate on the Sth inst., relative to irregular promotion in the army. General O'Donnel spoke on the opposition side. Lersandi and Miraitores answered. the president, was hustled at the breaking up of the sitting for his arbitrary mode of presiding. In the Chamber of uties nothing of note occurred. Miraflores promised explanations in the next sitting with regard to tho state of relations with the Por tuguese government. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. The Flensburg correspondent of the Copenhagen Post says, that in the sitting of the conference on the 31st tilt, the Holstein notables put in a protest against the organic project of law supported by the government; t• e Danish and Schleswig notables re plied by &counter protest ; and it was rumoured that to consequence the Holstein notables intended with drawing from the conference. soldier of the C ap e alarm until the governor ordered their a of the Cape Mounted as of disaffection, had appreciated the con with 2,600 men, 'own, for a patrol his force into two Ci:lonel Eyre, 73rd, taking the left beak of the - Quibegba rrver ; the right, tinder Colonel Maekinnon's own command, taking the right bank of that river.—Captain Robertson having been sent forward with a portion of Armstrong's horse to reconnoitre, a skirmish ensued, in which Ensign and Adjutant Fletcher, of the 73rd fell, and Captain Morns, of the levies, was severely wounded. The columns were several times attacked in the rear and flanks, but the enemy was always repulsed with considerable loss. At five, p.m., Lieutenant-Colonel Ere joined the right wing, bringing with him 146 head of cattle. The loss daring the day unmated, on our side, to one officer, one sergeant, end four rank and file. The estimated loss of the enemy is put down at 160 men. On the 17th the patrol returned to Fort White. On the 18th, a supply of slaughter cattle was thrown into Fort Coe, and the troops began their return march, but met with no opposition. They reached King William's Town on the 19th. In his official report Col. Mackinnon speaks highly of the conduct of the Cape Mounted Rifles, who have fully justified the confidence placed in them. It will be perceived that the operations of the month have been confined, necessarily, to patrols for the purpose of taking cattle, and destroying the substance of the Kaffir,. The cattle, however, appear to be driven off into the Amatola Mountains, and the enemy is nowhere to be met with in force. The succours from England, announced in ear last, will strengthen the commander-in-chiefs future window, and by relieving . him from much of the ember suniiment and anxiety arising from thelemployment:of a Aso a great portion of which is necessarily deficient in Wakft, will, we trust, enable him to undertake operations hamwhich he has hitherto been precluded. A medal is about to be presented to those levies and Hottentots who have distinguished themselves. It has been so often reported and contradicted, during the month, that a strong force of Zulus and Amapondas was daily expected, to co-operate with the troops on the frontier, that the matter remains involved in great uncertainty. We may add, that on the N.E. frontier a successful en gagement took place with the chief Morsel, on the 28th of March. Moron having crossed the Orange River with one demand men, attacked the Fingocs at the ' School place," when he killed several, and took all their cattle. In con abee of this attack, Major Donovan, Cape Mounted e e s7 moved against Moroi' with a very inferior force, consisting of a detachment of ' his corps and the Colcsberg and Albert Burghers, under Field-Commandants Jouber and Pienear. After a few discharges from a six-pounder, under the command of Lieut. Singer, R.A.,—which did considerable execution, the enemy fled, the mounted burghers, and detachment of Cape Mounted Rifles follow ing in pursuit, and committing great havoc. The number of dead left on the field amounted to more than 200, with out a single casualty on our aide. All the cattle taken from the Fingoes were recaptured. . _ From the Tambookio country an account has also been received of a victory gained by Captain Tylden, R.E., in which the enemy, 4,000 strong, was put to flight, leaving 300 dead on the field. The Graham's Town Journal of April 26 says : From King William's Town we learn the a-rival there of Kr. Conway, with intelligence from Kreli's country to the 21st inst. This intelligence is very important, affording as it dons the unequivocal assurance that Kreli, with the whole of his tribe, has joined in the war against the colony. The mission station of Beecham Wood had been sacked by them, and the war-cry had been sounded from one end of the country to the other. The mission station of Butterworth, it was expected, would be abandoned, although the traders there were most anxious to remain so long as any chance remained of saving their lives and Kg,. perty. Krell appears to have acted with consummate duplicity, his last message to Mr. Conway beinr of de cidedly an amicable character, while at the very moment he was preparing to take the field in person against the agony. That this is so, we have from the fact that in the recent engagement on the White Kaye, Kreli was present with • large body of his men, who were the first to fly before the British burgher forces ; the chief himself being so mortified at the cowardice of his men in the eades — vOur, ineffectually, to rally, that be wept with vexation, as well he might ou finding himself abandoned, with only a solitary attendant. Ho is said to have been inconsolable, his attendant having some difficulty to induce him to mount his horse and follow his fugitive adherents. It is affirmed positively that no less than 18 of his principal chiefs fell on this occasion, and that the whole were thrown, at the very outset, into inextricable confir.lint, during which the chief himself narrowly escaped falling into the hands of our gallant men, who drove them, as stated in the account, like chaff before the wind. 'fhe Tambookies stood their ground much better than the Ama Oalckes, the former continuing to fight until our men, on returning from the pursuit, fell upon their rear and quickly routed them in all directions. Burns' (BoOku*s) people were with the Temboes in this affair, and, it is said, suf fered very severely. It is considered in Kal9rland to have been one of the most important and decisive engagement+ fought during this war. This coated was an open one, and though the natives outnumbered our force by at least four to one, the result was never for a moment doubtful. The charge of our burghers was irresistible, and, could the pur suit have been followed up, the consequences must have been most important to the colony, and fatal to the enemy. The British resident, Mr. W. Fynn, has, it is said, fled (turn Kreili, after his defeat at the Imrani, had h. •, mine , ting with the Missionary Station at Butterworth, desirin them to remain there in safety, &c., probably to making out a case in his own defence, shou'•t nutter continue to go against him. Another account of the commando against K n•:i and hf allies states that the Boers, &c., moved agaii,s; •he T ea bon (Tambookies) in the upper partuf the a h e , Kreli, with a large force, met them ; that a bri.i.• neounte ensued, when the colonial forces retrograded to t.. ..

The screw steam ship Sir Robert Peel, Captain Boxer, arrived at Plymouth yesterday morning at about 8 o'clock, from the Cape of Good Hope, which she left May 2, arriving at Sierra Leone May 19 and sailing May 20, St. Vincent on May 26 and sailing again the same day. The Sir Robert Peel brought home several . pas sengers from the Cape and Sierra Leone, and a nuseel lancous cargo, including some more beautiful ani mals for the collection of - the Earl of Derby. At Simon's Buy she left her Majesty s vessels Castor, Hermes, and the Orestes. The Cygnet and the Spy had sailed on the 20th of April with prizes. The merchant barque Ann was at Simon's Bay bound for London. At Sierra Leone the Sir Robert Peel spoke to her Majesty's ships Dolphin and Sampson The Singapore reached the Cape three days before the Sir Robert Peel—viz., on the 24th of April, and' her troops were sent by the Dee steamer to head quarters at Graham's Town. The most important item of intelligence by this present mail is the fact that Krell, with the whole et his tribe, had joined the enemy. The following is the monthly summary of opera tions on the frontier given in the Cape Town Mas. (It will be seen that it touches upon some of the facts given in the advices lately received from the Cope) Our last summary reported the Commander-in.Chicf Se bo on his return to King William's Town, from an coped!. tion in person to Fort liare,—accompanied by Cu!. Mackin non and the second division,—which bad been undertaken for the purpose of intercepting the Kadin moving on Feet Hare. This t spedition consisted of a series of movements from the 18th to the 29th of March, amongst which was the repulse of tho enemy, about 2,000 strong, as tier 19th, and their flight into Amatola mountains, inentiened in our lad summary. To cow.' • the account of this -- o complete expedition, we resume with the 21st of March, when the second division, com manded by Colonel Mackinnon, marched with his excel lency at daylight on Fort Cox, and tactic° to Fort White. A detachment having been sent on to scatter some etre& glees, the enemy showed in great force, and a general 110. fragment commenced. In this affair the governor Slaw ramie with much praise the conduct of the mounted levies. who dismounted and gallantly attacked the Kaffir, on foot. The enemy's flank WAS turned bean eminence being gained by the 73rd and a detachment ot the 6th. Up to this point 37 Kaffir,' had fallen, and several stand of arms taken. Tho euetny was pursued into the bush by the men forming Col. Muckinnon's division, and were totally routed. The troops reached Fort White two hours a ft er dark. A day's rest being required for the men, no movement was made till the 23rd, when, at three o'clock in the morn ing, they moved towards Fort Wiltshire; 1,000 head of cattle were captured on the banks of the Keiskamrna ; four men killed and six wounded on our side. After devastatiog the fertile country between Fort Wiltshire and Fort White the troops returned to Fort White; the rearguard being tired upon by the Kettles. The toss of the enemy on this occasion was not known, but supposed to have been very considerable. The men suffered severely from the beat of the weather and want of water. • The column halted at Fort White on the 21th, in hopes Butterworth, and gone to the Amaponda coun that the Kadin would collect and attempt the rescue of try,—e movement which will doubtless have the their cattle; but on the return march being effected to careful consideration of her Majesty's high commis- King Wil liam's Town on the 25th, no oppoeition was ex- sinner, seeing that neither missionaries nor traders . have perienced.

Til disenseirms which took place in the committees of the French National Assembly, on the revision of the constitution, are certainly unique in the his tory of a nation. Each committee being supposed to debate with closed doors, the utmost freedom of opinion and of speech was of course ble. And each member of the legislature avowed his hope and predilections—some for a monarchy founded on legi timacy and divine right—some for a constitutional monarchy; others, again. declared for a moderate eir Ibr an immoderate republic. If this great diversity of opinion be shared by the nation at large, which, however, is greatly to he doubted, it will require either great hobnob!.

On tibia= of secondary importance, a majority my bbd a abierity; but in matters so grave as the ropy 'bras or essence of government or of religion, large mino rities are seldom contented to succumb. They are less content to do so when these large minorities are principally of one class, bound to gether by common interests and common ideas, in a country through which intercommunication is as quick and universal as light Perhaps no more mad or hopeless idea ever en tered into the head of a maniac, than that enter tained and pursued by the French religionists and legitimists, who purpose remedying all the ills and dangers of the existing state of things, by attempts to restore that state which prevailed in past centu rice, when the population bowed down in body and in mind before the feudal lord and the monkish elergy. The possibility of ever restoring Frenchmen to feelings of loyalty towards the BoranoN race, and to contentment under their rule, because they de scend from HENRY IV. or Lore; XIV., is about as rational as a proposal to establish the Talmud as a code of laws. Yet there are clever men who dream this, and act upon it, and who would compel the France of 1851, with its million more of people, its journals, its milrocubs, its popular army, its peasant populace, and its respect for nothing, to become all of a sudden the France of 1551. It is more modest, but we doubt it it be more feas ible. to restore the constitutional monarchy. As a monarch, the Count of PAitis or the Prince Dr. JOlN would be supported by the middle class and the notables of the last reign ; but with a large sec tion of the upper class, all the rA.nlouv clergy, and the entire popular party against him, such a personage would take his stand upon a rucking pedestal, on which he might maintain himself by . skill in balawc ing and by prudence in never swerving front the line of gravity. But his weakness would be so evident to the nation and to himself that both would pro bably demand to be released from a position so pain ful and so purposeless. In fact. French society has irrevocably passed through two great phases ; and it has entered a third, of which it must accept the laws and inconve nienties. The tirst phase was that feudal sovereignty and aristocracy, in which the lower mid middle classes were so few, so poor, so scattered, so ignorant, and so saturated with doctrines of obedience to all autho rities, that the lower and middle elastics may be con sidered to have then formed a species distinct from, anti inferior to, that of free and civilised man. M. DE Fat.tovx would restore the reign of feudality be might as well attempt by a magic wand to estab lish universal apedom. The other great phase is that of intimate depend ence of one clam upon another, and of political power being shared between them according to their require. masts, or at least in such a way as nut to call forth violent discontent. This is the phase of English so ciety and polities. 13 , 1 t what was the case in France ? The law and the distribution or ;invert, keutierea the greater part of the lower orders,.or the families [rum winch the lower orders spring, that of the peasantry, completely independent of any one above them. the ideas generated in such a nursery were felt by the workmen who migrated to towns and re evived salary from a master. Whilst this gulf was created socially between the employing and employed elsasca, the constitution gave all power to the employ log : the electoral franchise was confined to some two or three hundred thousand persons in a nation of thirty millions. Hence arose a war of class, which, had such men as LAWN PIIILIPPE and M. Guam kept their eyes open to the plain state of things before them. must have attracted their attention and re quired their care. Yet when tumults and discon tent arose, they attributed the intrigue to a passing effervescence. And so they were swept away in their blindness and their ignorance. Who or what shall now put an end to this war of classes, social and political ? Will the restoration of legitimacy ? It is but another name for tyranny and coercion. Will the restoration of an ORLEANS and the family charter? No; fur the government in that case would, like that of Loris NAPOLEON, have to expend all its care. time, and efforts in the mere aim of keeping up its existence, without making any provision for the state, or the people, or opinion. The first desideratum in all countries is a govern ment that can stand by itself, and that no monarchy at present can do in Prance. A republic, we see, does; and were all the enlightened and influential men to rally frankly to the republic, there would not be the least fear of that great bugbear, the pre domintmettorcommunismorexelusivelylow class ideas. Anything, even in the most conservative seine, might be made of a republic. Nothing, except in the way of subversion, can be made of monarchy in France. - At the same time there is one great cause of con fidence and consolation, that none of those parties, be they ever so remote from practicability or success, propose to employ violence. The legitimist prince himself and his followers profess that they await their recall from the will of the people. The Orleanists profess to have no other hope or title. In this they display good sense. For, after the moral fore° of legittinacT as a principle had died away, and after the expenment of a king, appointed by parliament for and on behalf of the people, had failed, there really remained no Iswis of government, no anchor for the state, no principle of sovereignty, but popular suffrage. The broader too the better. The elect of universal suffrage has a title that none dent gainsay. And hence the danger of the law of the 31st of May, restricting universal suffrage. Was that law, indeed• merely what it pretended ; was it merely an exclusion of vagrants and paupers from the electoral urns, few would complain. And were the present suffrage a fair suffrage, correspond ing to household or domicile, it might command respect. But a one-sided law of election, that admits the peasant and excludes the honest artisan, unless he can secure his identification by his master, this ex clusion of the artisan, renders so large, and intelligent, and unfortunately so revolutionary &Clan/ in France dis contented, that the law of the 31st May may be considered a premium upon, and a generator of imager. . . Thus have the French taken care to nullify and sap every principle of sovereignty. They have scouted legitimist right, kicked out the constitutional with even more ignominy, and finally, they have so falsified the principle of universal and popular suf frage as to make it a delusion,and stump it as &claw election, not a popular one. 110 such a people and such a legislature as this, deserve to have a government at all?

Colonel Mackinnon reports the detachment of C. M.

This continued harrassing of tho enemy is the only war faro to la, adopted against a foe who will never concentrate or encounter his opponent in fair and open fight. A. J. CLostr, Lieut.-Col. D.-(1.-M.-Gen. The Cape Town Mail of May 2 has the following on the state of affairs : From the parliamentary debates, and from the comments of the journals, it is evident enough that all patties in England have made up their minds to endure a lung, vexa tious, and costly Kaffir war. We heartily wish that there were anything in the intelligence which the mail packet of this day will take home, that might cause an agreeable surprise, as indicating en approaching close of the war. We have, however, so often flattered ourselves, after the publication of a flaming general order, that something derisive was really about to take place, and have been so often disap pointed, that we will not venture to offer an opinion as to the probable result of the operations now in pro gym. Much, of course, may be hoped from the rein forcements which have arrived, and thew which are ex pected from England. The Kaffirs, who aro a quick witted people, must by this time have been made to un derstand something of the greatness of that power against which they aro contending. The news of the arrival of a fire-ship, filled with the indomitable red-coats, from that sovereign and mysterious country of which they have heard so much, will fly in a few hours through Katiirland, from , the Keiskamma to the Orange River. The reports of other reinforcements, on their way or expected, will accompany that intelligence; and the effect may perhaps be to induce the hostile chiefs to seise the first favourable mo ment for submission. Everything will, of course, de pend on the resolution of the chiefs; for it is well understood that the war origin ited with them, and has never keen popular with their followers. Indeed, there is good reason to believe that nothing but'the determined opposition to war of the sehordikate head-men of Kreli, Umhnla, and other veneering elects, withheld them so long from joining the lailta chieftains in the con test which the latter are now waging mainly Mr the preser vation of their own supremacy over their tnhcs. The people of the mother country cannot be more heartily wearyof the war than are the inhabitants of this colony; and they cannot feel themselves more utterly powerless for securing the adoption of prOper means for bringing it to a conclu sion. On this point, however, we need say nothing, as it aeons now to be UlliTillany admitted in Great Brenda, that the colony is henceforward to govern itself, and to pro tect itself.
