The Express. — London, England, 1851-10-15 00:00:00

THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 15, 1851. England is made by turn@ the rhorse and the dupe. The course of England is plain. It is to any de terminedly that an obstruction to the road will not be brooked. But the Porte is no doubt afraid that the PAULA'S making the road will so ingratiate him with the English, as a nation and a government, that they will be ready to support Egypt in all its pretensions to form an independent power. It cannot surely be difficult to reassure the Porte upon this head. The great cause of jealousy is, lest the PAcnA should become the especial pct et England, as .11EllEMET Au was of Franco. The fact is that the rulers of the two countries, Turkey and Egypt, are a pair of big children, quar relling for idle jealousies and stupid etiquette, stirred by &signing menon both sides, runaway Egyptians at Constantinople, family rivals at Alexandria ; and the result is an embroglio through which our Fo reign Secretary does not seem yet to see his way. But, as we said at starting, we cannot believe that the Porte will or can persist in the outrageous de mands said to have been sent to Alexandria. The pretension of applying the letter and the rigour of the Tanzimaut to Egypt, to call now for the first time on the PAen t to " send in his accounts," to force him to admit Turkish agents of the Porte into his council, all important decisions of that council, even to the cutting off of a man's head (so trivial a thing in the East), being suspended till reference shall be be made to Constantinople, and consent given by the °rand Vizier--such demands as these cannot be serious. Fur they would completely contradict the firman and the correspondence connected with it and explaining it, as might easily be shown. The offer of ABBAS PACHA we cannot but think extremely fair. lie consents to go through the formality of asking permission of the Seur.ts to pro ceed with this road. He shows, in a very intelligible statement, that the road can be executed without a loan, and without exhausting the country or embar rassing its finances. As to employing the knells on forced work, Mr. STEPHENSON himself would nut consent to conduct an enterprise of the kind on such terms. And as to the power of life and death, what have they to do with the business? But admitting all these pleas on behalf of Egypt, the Sutras is not a prince whose conduct should bo precipitately , condemned, or in whose face defiance should be flung. The bold act of liberating KOSaUTH and his fellow prisoners, whilst braving Austrian choler, shows an independent spirit, a liberal mind, and a generous heart. And however disapproving and opposing his last haughty and unjust demands upon Egypt, we still think there is room to convince the Turkish govern ment in the language of courtesy and friendship, that its jealousies and suspicions have led it much further than its own interests required, and at the same time placed it in decided and unwarranted hos '''*v to ours. were condemned without a trial, have escaped from the Algiers prison. The litoniteur contains the details of the disturb ances, which were reported last evening to have brakes out in the Cher. The magistrates of Sancerre -having arrested and committed to prison the Mayor d Pricy, M. Desmoineaux, and two other inhabitants east commune, an attempt was made to rescue them. On the morning of the 12th inst. 500 men, armed with guns and scythes, marched on Sancerre. Having halted at Mcnetreol, a few miles off, and being informed that Sancerre was defended by the national guard and several brigades of gendarmes, they com menced a retreat; and soon disconcerted by military combinations dispersed in the woods. Twenty-six of the rioters were arrested and conducted to Bour gea , where they will be tried. A battalion of the line has been despatched from Paris by the railway to the same town. The Motional de l.illier, which arrived yesterday, cousin very long details of the disturbances in that department, but they differ in no material reaped hoes those which I have already sent. Some at die workmen arrested are foremen, whose wages were from 12fr. to 15fr. a day. The Prefect of the Allies has asked the government to place the department in a state of siege. The judgment rendered by the first court-martial of the 6th military division in the affair of the ee -1 met society of Bourg, known by the name of the 1 1 'hums, Libra, having been quashed by the council of revision, the case came on again two days back before the second court-martial. The judgment of the court condemns Prevel, Chadal, and Lescuyer to two years' imprisonment, 500 fr. fine, and five years' deprivation of civil rights; and Chamonox to six months' imprisonment, 100 fr. fine, and two years' deprivation of civil rights. The commissary of police of Louhans (Saone-et- Loire), who had failed in respecting the inviolability of the representative in the person of Pd. Dain, has just been dismissed from his functions. This is only a personal reparation; it will not be sufficient, par ticularly after what has taken place at Commentry. M. Martin, :deputy-mayor of tho commune of Cressat, who had been suspended from his functions by the Prefect of the Crease, for using disrespectful remarks towards the President of the Republic at a sitting of the municipal council, has been defini tively dismissed. A letter from Grenoble of the 10th states that the day before a person named Moulin, the manager of the Alimentary Association, was arrested, in virtue of a warrant issued by the procureur-general. Ho is accused of having long been an agent of the secret societies of Lyons ' and their most active correspondent at Grenoble. Thr ee copies, addressed to him, of the proclamation of the revolutionary committee of the South, were seized at the post-office ; and a search, instituted at his residence, led to the seizure of a quantity of socialist writings, and a number of letters tending to compromise other persons. M. Garavel, a half-pay captain, was also arrested at the same time, but has since been set at liberty. Captain Brun, who was arrested some time back on a poli tical charge, had been removed on the 10th instant, under escort for Lyons, where ho is to be tried. One of the most distinguished members of the Academy of Medicine has just gone to Tiflis, to study an epidemic which is at present causing great ra vages in the Russian army in the Caucasus, and which is not known in Western Europe. The sale of the remarkable collection of arms of the late Marshal Oudinot, at the chateau de Jean dheurs, in the commune of Isle-en-ltigault, depart ment of the Meuse, has just taken place. With the exception of the National Museum of Artillery, there was no collection in all France to be compared to it. In addition to a number of other rare and valuable things, the late marshal had formed a collection of pipes for smoking, of all sorts and all countries, from the humblest of clay to those splendidly orna mented as works of art. In it was the pipe which John Sobieski, King of l'oland, smoked on the morning of the day on which he rescued Vienna from the attack of the Turks. This pipe Sobieski eve to the municipality of Vienna, and the muni cipality presented it to the marshal when he was governor of that city on its being captured by Na poleon. The opening of the Italian theatre takes place this evening, with Ilonizetti's opera of "Luerezia Borgia." Mme. Barbieri-Nini, the celebrated prima donna will appear, for the first time in Paris, in the char acter I of Lucre: is ; the tenor Graziaui and the basso For tini will make their Winds as Gennaro and Don Alfonso. Millie. Ida Bertrand will appear as Maps Orsini. Although the Bourse to-day, was necessarily much occupied with the political situation, there was a rise in the funds, owing probably to the realisation of profits after the fall of the last two days. The Five per Cents. rose 15 centimes, closing at 90.73 and the 'three per Cents. rose 13 centimes, and closed at 53.63. Most of the railways arc without change. Versailles (left bank), however, fell 3fr., and the right bank and Bordeaux, lfr. 23e. ; Marseilles rose lfr. 23e. GER MANY. AUSTRIA Telegraphic despatches, received at Vienna, an nounce the arrival of the Emperor at Cracow. His reception by the population is, of course, described in the official despatch as enthusiastic. VIENNA, Ocr. The Emperor left last night for Lemberg, with a numerous suite, headed as usual by Count Grunne. A decree published in the Gazette this morning informs the public that the Minister of Finance has received 87,176,300 florins on behalf of the new loan of 85 millions. According to this document the sum of 85,569,800 florins was subscribed before the 23rd of September, the period for which an addi tional allowance of discount was allowed; the re maining 1,606,300 florins were subscribed between the 23rd and 27th of the same month. It is hardly worth while to question the truth of this statement, Ili the le•riod when the whole was subscribed, and even the whole loan itself is a matter of little im portance when compared with the vast financial swamp into which the empire is sinking; yet it can not be true, as the very large subscriptions of the bank, made by order of the minister, to cover the sum deficient, were not made until within the very last days of the month. I reported at the time tba the bank had been compelled to sign for 10 or 12 millions. The 1,606,300 florins subscribed, accord ing to the decree between the 23rd and 27th of September are to be applied to repaying a part of the subscriptions made by the treasury for the reduction of the national debt on behalf of the owners of Styrian and Upper and Lower Austrian domestic-invasion obligations. This said reduction of the national debt treasury figures in the subscription-list to the amount of about nine mil lions, out of gratitude for which the said holders of Styrian, tec., invasion obligations are compelled to subscribe another nine millions. Here are twenty. eight or thirty millions of the loan, which do not deserve the name, and nine millions of which are valueless old paper. Of the remaining fifty-five millions, full twenty have been exacted by compul sion, employed in the most dishonourable and op pressive manner, from the pockets of small trades men, communal councils, mechanics benevolent in stitutions, schools, and colleges. Another portion has been signed for abroad by the agents of the Finance Minister himself, in order that foreign coun tries might not appear totally devoid of confidence in the Austrian finances. Under any circumstances, a loan obtained by such means must be pronounced valueless; but, in the total disruption of the financial organisation of the Austrian empire, with an annual deficit of about a hundred millions, and really a pros pect of diminishing it—with neither law nor justice in any single province—with the whole empire, in fact, in a state of disorganisation, held to gether only by military force, a loan of eighty-five millions, exacted partly by force and partly unreal, cannot be of more service than a drop of water in the ocean, and can only add to the general embarrass ment. Obtained for the purpose of regulating the difference between the value of coin and paper money, by calling in and destroying two-thirds of its amount of the paper money in circulation, its use lessness is already displayed by the fact that silver and gold not only do not fall, but continue to rise in price. That the Mctalliques and other puldic funds I do not fall in proportion as bullion rises, must not be accepted as a proof of increasing value. Baron Krauss possesses an inexhaustible mine of paper money, and tan keep tho price of the Metalliques op to whatever figure he pleases. English and other non-Austrian capitalists have testified their views of the Austrian finances by refraining from subscribing to the loan. The whole of the ministry took the nest oaths of office yesterday morning, sw earing, in the presence and in the hand of the Emperor, to remain faithful to him and his heirs. inc A redi tel b e i g e nt ia phi orma c atncet that utthe reached u trian Vienna, mini 7 it it e h r the London has demanded h is p ass p orts if Kossuth be h A permitted to land. The statement is not believed, but the fact that the Earl of Westmoreland has de layed his departure from Berlin, coupled with the conviction that this government, mad enough at all times, but now immeasurably incensed at the pre parations making to receive Kossuth, is capable of taking the strongest and most unreasonable steps, have induced some persons to credit it. Others, too, who thoroughly understand the ignorance of the Austrian government and their incapacity to under stand the relations of a ministry in England and the power of a member of the cabinet, arc inclined to believe that the Austrian minister may on this occasion, as he did in the affair of Haynau v. Bar clay and Perkins's draymen, have demanded the in terference of the government where it has no power whatever. It matters little at the present moment, whether the diplomatic relations between Austria and Great Britain are to be interrupted from such a cause, for the cabinet of Vienna is not willing to allow Lord Palmerston to exercise the slightest influence, direct or indirect, over its decisions. The presence of an Austrian ambassador in England and of an Eng lish minister in Vienna, would not avert a war with Teekey, if the Emperor and Prince Schwarzenburg were determined upon such a step. In any case, the English government is not to blame, while the Eng lish people can afford to laugh at the absurd ire and futile rage of a disappointed despotic government. What the real feelings of the government arc is shown in the articles of the governmfistal press. Poor Lord Palmerston is overwhelmed with abuse. He is at the bottom of everything ; he has instigated the common councils of Loudon and Southampton ; ho has done so much, indeed, that to simple minds he must appear all-powerful as well as übiquitous. I sometimes fancy that the noble lord must laugh most heartily at the various schemes attributed to him and his agents, and be inclined to wish for a portion only of that power which foreign cabinets and foreign journals ascribe to him. English journals may preach as much as they please on the real extent of Lord Palmerston a authority, or of any other minister, foreign statesmen of the highest rank will insist on believing their position to be the same as that of a continental minister. In no country . is the perversity of this belief greater than in Austria, and in no country does there exist a deadlier hatred towards Lord Palmerston and his friends. I)ay alter day his conduct is the subject of the most malicious comment ; and now that hospitable England gives a national welcome to a man in whom the people re cognise a noble, a kindred spirit, tho spontaneous outpourings of a people's generous feelings is ascribed to the noble lord a intrigues and schemes, and the malice of his self-created opponents increased a hun dred fold. As a specimen of the tone of the Vienna press on the subject, I add a translation of an article from this morning's Lloyd : The ovations preparing in England for an Austrian sub ject, who betrayed his sovereign and lit the flame of revolu tion in his country, do not excite in us very great indigna tion. We only feel great pity, coupled with much contempt, for the promoters of these ovations and their tools, the stupid, well-fed aldermen of Southampton and London. In the year 1811 the greatest efforts were made by the Foreign - office in London to destroy the Austrian monarchy. The " noble" loin at the head of that ministry tried everything that cabal, double-tonguedness, cuaning, and treachery could effect in order to carry out his noble object. While a minister clothed in the highest diplomatic rank was re presenting the person of his Queen at the Austrian court, thereby announcing to the world—and in an ostensible man ner—the powerful and friendly relations subsisting between Great Britain and this monarchy, secret agents in the ser vice of the English cabinet, together with its public ser vants, men like Lord Minto and Mr. Ahereronthy, were spinning those intrigues which were soon to receive histori cal importance. Ihe mines were dug, the powder was laid, and the explosion followed the signal given from the hotel in Downing street. Parts of South and Central Europe were in a flame. Lord Pon sonby remained in Vienna, a guarantee for the good faith, the Punic faith, which England entertained for " its old ally." During this period that monarch, whose misfortunes ought to preserve him from too severe a judg meat, was hunted to destruction and death by British intrigues; and, as Kossuth could boast of the friend ' ship of Lord Palmerston, so did, with the same right doubtlessly, the rebel leaders in other parts of Europe. That many of these were, at a later period, neglected theirin want and misery by their friends, proves nothing to the contrary. Even English papers have complained that Lord Palmerston mercilessly abandoned those whom he had misled the moment success left them. Each victory gained by the Austrian arms in Hungary and Italy, the close alliance between Russia and Austria, the successful struggle with revolution wherever it showed its bead, the shipwreck of the Prussian project fur kicking Austria out of Germany, and finally, the strengthening and consolidation of the power of tho empire, —these were all defeats, deep and bitter, for the English policy. Never before has a cabinet been compelled to make so many disgraceful retreats, received so many painful defeats, and lost so much influence, honour, and respect as England during that period. Its in fluence in the Mediterranean, upon which England laid so much stress, disappeared; the courts of Madrid, of Napha, and of Athens rightly regatded that power as their enemy. The infamy enacted in Greece awakened the slumbering sense of right and honour of the British parliament, and thrcatoned the ministry with a disgraceful end. The rage excited by unsuccessful plans and the defeat of Sardinia, the disgrace of dishonourable conduct, has long gnawed the heart, of the leading men in England. The impotence which has not the power to injure Austria, now contents it self with making a wry face at her. The noble revenge expresses itself in a grimace. Because a man has been con victed of treason in Austria, he is, therefore, to be over whelmed with honour. It is not BO much done out of love to him as out of malice to all loyal Austrians. We cannot conceive that this demonstration will gain any purpose. The loyal Austrian has cause to be thankful that the great and hostile efforts, the most sly and most cunningly contrived plans of one of the mightiest cabinets of Europe could not prevent the regeneration of his country, and that England can find no other means of displaying its annoyance at all these defeats, than by ho nouring and fking a man who has fled this country for po litical crimes. The English people can, however, rest na ives' that retaliation will never be exercised for this affair. lbw* any English criminal whose name has been appended *Os gallows by the sentence of a competent English court eflaw, flying from justice, take refuge on the Continent, the eineausal councils of no single town in Europe will present ailletwas or prepare any other token of respect for him. /elfpenaat, respect for the law, even for that of foreign sumuldss, the most ordinary considerations which members of est civilised nation must have for another, should sammrdly prevent such obnoxious, challenging, and, to their innermost core, revolutionary ovations.

HANOVER.

Yesterday his majesty rose from his bed for a part of the day, has passed a good night, and his strength is evidently increased." FRANCE. RESIGNATION OT THE ItIaISTRY. PARIS, TULWAT EVINING. I have this :moment (at six o'clock) received intel ligence that in the council held at St. Cloud the resignation of all the ministers has been accepted. The President announced that he had taken his resolution irrevocably. M. Cartier also retires front the prefecture of police. The President maintained, in answer to all the arguments brought against the complete abrogation of the law of May, that this was quite possible. All the members of the cabinet, without exception, held that if modi flcations might be introduced into the law, the return pure and simple,to universal suffrage was not possible. Under these circumstances, the President begged the ministers to watch for the maintenance of order as before, until he could devise a remedy fur present difficulties. An extraordinary agitation reigns among the parliamentary . majority, whose members are sum moned to Paris by urgent letters ; and no doubt M. Leon Faucher has not grudged the use of the te legraph for a purpose in harmony with his policy. Five members of the Committee of Permanence have signed a requisition for an extraordinary rneetin g of that body to take place to-day at four o'clock, "en re'lat yrocc de la situation." M. Daze, who arrived in Paris yesterday, exhibits his usual animation and energy on occasions when the dignity of the parlia ment and the supremacy of the legislative power is at stake ; forming with his sanguine vivacity and chafing bustle a strong contrast to his friend, the mute, pale, lean Changarnier. These and M. Thicrs are almost the only political personages of consequence in Paris at this moment, and are observed in close cenference at the Assembly, whose rooms are frequented in the' vacation like those of a club. The President had sent for no man of mark of any party, and had made offers neither to Lamartine nor Billault, nor any other person respecting the forma tion of a cabinet. Hence it was supposed that the present ministers would remain in office until the 4thl Nov. The news in the Ilt'bata and .lesendsMel respecting the positive resignation of mi-1 nisters last night, seems to have no suf-1 ficient foundation. M. Leon Faucher and his colleagues will doubtless not abandon the helm until I.ouisNapoleon has distictly declared his irrevocable intention to demand the abrogation of the law of May. This he is not likely to do prematurely. The only result would be to precipitate the convocation of the Assembly, which the Committee of Permanence would not fail to move immediately were the Presi dent to announce distinctly his intention. The pre sent cabinet, should it remain in, must be consi dered as the mediators for the time being between the parliamentary majority and Louis Napoleon, ith a view to concluding some transaction by which the Assembly may be invited, in the President's message, to modify, instead of abrogate, the law of May. But it may be questioned whether the hundred ti li publican votes, which M. Girardi is pm to bring over to revision will be pai down for anything short of the entire abrogation of the law, and a return to the electoral law of March, 1549. The policy of the President will be to temporise until the hour comes for delivering Ws message. The ice has been broken with regard to his intention designedly to prepare the public mind for this grave change in police. and to precipitate the passionate politicians of the old Committee of Permanence into rash attacks upon the executive, which will not fail to array public opinion on the side of the latter. The some manceurres will be resorted to which distinguished the crisis in which Changarnier fell. We shall hear again of imperialist plots, like that of Allays, of reviews like those of Satory, of coups rake and impeachment. M. Chambolk will attack the Elysee with bitter ness and vigour inthe Ordre; M.Guizot will alternately coax and threaten in the Assemblje Nationale, and the ./Plsits will hold its tongue under pretence of not aggravating the schism between; the powers. Louis Napoleon has proved the strength of the parliament to the uttermost on the Chan• gamier question, and has not been thrown ; lie has felt all their weapons and found none mortal. cannot pare his commons closer by refusing I f= dotations; they cannot, without cutting their own throats, refuse revision. A delicate question of military law has been under the consideration of the second council of war, pe► sided over by Licut.-Col. Maneque of the 15th Roe- went. A sergeant of the 1 0 th ch asseurs, going to • public ball, met private Lagoade, of the same Kier, staggering drunk upon the staircase. the seessout ordered the private to make way, whereupon the latter struck him. The minority of the council were opinion that the Draconian tenor of the military code which prescribes the punishment of death for striking a superior officer was inflexible. But a ma-1 jority of 4 against 3 adopted the argument of coun sel for the defence, that when a non-commissioned officer off duty mixes with his subordinates in a plans of public diversion, he loses a portion of the prest' of his rank. and, upon this consideration, the offen der was sentenced only to five years' imprisonment in irons, with military degradation. It has been erroneously stated in several of the papers that the works on the railway between Chartres and La Loupe were being actively prose cuted. They:are, in fact, momentarily suspended. M. ])urns, the engineer, is making a fresh survey of the line, with the view of avoiding the necessity of making the projected tunnel near Loupe. The lessees are under an obligation to open this section l on July 16, and it is calculated that the tunnel could not be made so soon.

As announced in our impression yesterday, the Royal Brazilian Mail packet Tay, Captain Chap man, from the West Indies. Sze., arrived at South ampton yesterday. Her dates are—Buenos Ayres, Sept. 3; Monte Video, 6; Rio do Janeiro, 14; Bahia, li. The Tay has brought, with a miscellaneous cargo, diamonds to the value of 15,000/. An armistice had been agreed to between General Oribe and the Brazilians for seventy two hours; but, as the terms offered were not ac cepted, hostilities recommenced at the expiration of the time stated. On the 2nd Sept., notice having been given to that effect, General Oribe had raised the siege of Monte Video. The proceedings of the combined forces against Roses and Oahe are cheering enough, and may be summed up as follows. When, on the 20th of July, General Urquiza ap peared on the Uruguay at the head of the united forces of Entrerios and Corrientes, Oribe had under his command, north of the Rio Negro, various bodies of troops, amounting in all to about 5,500 men. These forces were posted in various divisions : the first under the immediate orders of Oribe's relative, Ignacio; a second at the confluence of the Rio Negro and the Uruguay, under the orders of Colonel Granada; a third in Paysandu, under General Ven tura Coronel ; a fourth in El Salto, under Command ant Egana ; a fifth in El Cuaro, under Colonel Lamas; a sixth in Tacuarombo, under General Valdes. These forces were equal in number and far supe rior in appointments to those which marched under Urquiza's orders. The latter, however, passed the Uruguay in three divisions at iree different points, distant about 30 leagues apart. The first, under Urquiza's immediate orders, marched on Paysandu ; the second, under General Gerson, on El Salto ; and the third, composed of the corps of Corentinos, marched, under the orders of Vimsoro, by the pas sage of Higos. The result of the march of the libe rating divisions has been that in a fortnight all the Oribist forces to the north of the Rio Negro disap peared without coming to battle. Ignacio Oribe him self was obliged to cross to the left bank of that river with 1,300 men, whilst his lieutenant, Col. Granada, crossed with 400 men. All the other chiefs, offi cials, and soldiers deserted to join the ranks of the liberating army. Thus General Urquiza has given to the campaign the remarkable character of victory without bloodshed. ;Ile has proved by his acts as well as by words that the object of the present war was to obtain peace and a cessation of those political crimes which have marked tkc reign of Roses. There have been no acts of violence, no revenge. The commandant of Paysandu being brought up a prisoner of war, was immediately set at liberty, and allowed to rejoin his family; other chiefs ho allowed to escape. General Urquiza left Paysandu on the 29th of July at the head of the division encamped there, and in six days took up his quarters by the small river of Salsipuedes, at a place on the Rio Negro called Los Toros. Ile was joined there by the divisions under Gurzon and Virasoro; the van guard operations being carried on on the south bank of the river, in order to a junction with the Brazilian army, which being well provided with artillery, and being composed chiefly of infantry, had all the means of striking a decisive blow if necessary. The vanguard, under General Gomez, pursued Ignacio to the banks of the Rio Negro with such efficacy that he took 6,000 of Ignacio's horses,and forced him to hamstring a considerable number more, in order that they might not fall into his pursuer's hands. In the encounter that took place more than 400 men passed over to the ranks of Gomez, and were incorporated with the militia force of Tacua rcmbo, under Commandant Barbat. General Medina, with a body of cavalry, occupied the departments of Coloma and Soriano, in which the people and militia gave him active co-operation, with out any interference on the part of Oribe. Whilst these movements were going on, 700 men, cavalry, belonging to the department of Durazno, placed themselves under the orders of General L'rquiza. In this way that chief gained advantage over both banks of the Rio Negro and a considerable extent of territory to the south of that river. General Gurzon passed the Uruguay in his capa city of General-in-chief of the Oriental army, con ferred on him by the government by a decree of the 16th of July. Immediately on passing the river, he occupied El Salto, the national guard of which he incorporated. Commander Egana, who commanded there for Oribe, fled at his approach with the force of all arms under his command. But his soldiers deserted daily, and came in bodies over to General Garzon, Commandant Don Lucas Piriz, amongst , others, making his submission with his whole ' squadron on the 23d of July. A new set of authorities, in accordance with Urquiza's new constitutional decrees, was installed in El Salto, with Don Francisco Rivarola for political Garzon had been prevented by the copious rains which fell during the early part of August, and which converted the lesser roads into rivers, from joining Urquiza; but on the 20th ho was on the point of effecting the required junction ; Virasoro having already succeeded on his side in doing so. The latter Correntine chief passed the Uruguay at the head of a division of 1,000 men, at the passage of Hips, in the country occupied by the division of Colonel Lamas, 1,300 strong.. The greater portion of this force immediately joined Virasoro. On the 20th of August Virasoro had joined the head quarters of Lrquiza at Salsipuedes. The Brazilian army had crossed the frontier, and on the 19th of August the head-quarters of its general-in-chief, Count Cuxias, were in Santana do Livraraento. Had this force entered at the moment Urquiza's army crossed the Uruguay, it is probable that the war would already be at an end. The divi sion of Brigadier Santos Pereira, 4,000 strong, had advanced to San Servando. That under Col. David Canavarro was in the Oriental territory near Arapey. It was supposed in Monte Video that the whole Bra zilian forces would have reached the Rio Negro about the first week in September. Whilst such were the movements of the liberating force, Oribe left Cerrito on the 30th of July with 1,300 men, intending to join the troops concentrated in and around San Jose, leaving the command or the blockading force before Montevideo to the chief of I his staff, Colonel Lamle, and conferring the title of president during his absence on Don Carlos Anaya. His determination to concentrate his army was some what late, for be had already lost one-half of his ter ritory. The divisions under Ignacio Oribe had been, as we have seen, dispersed. He raised with difficulty for his service a third of the militias of Maldonado, Rocha y Cerro, and Largo. The bodies which he had succeeded in assembling were the battalions of infantry and small cavalry squadrons belonging to the Argentine army. On the 3rd of August occurred one of those epi sodes so frequent in the life of Oribe, and which so perfectly show his character and principles. On the Ist of August the national guards of Colo nia had dared to manifest their joy at the departure of the troops of the garrison, commanded by Lieut.- General Moreno ; at the same time they did not con ceal their satisfaction at the news of Generals Urquiza and Garzon having entered the Oriental ter ritory. The agents of Moreno sent information of this to the general, who was encamped at a distance of about six leagues. As soon as this officer had re ceived the report of his spies he came back to Culonia at the haul of 400 infantry and 200 cavalry, and gave the signal for a general. massacre; Moreno, to stimulate the fury of the troops by his example, slaughtered with his own hand a young man named Napoleon Nives. Frightful incidents accompanied this scene of carnage. The ears and noses of the victims were cut off, and in some instances their skins were cut into shreds. Amongst the victims was a young French artist, who was amusing himself fishing at the moment when Moreno returned to Coloma; two of the band were dispatched to massacre him. An outrage of the same kind occurred in an island called Isla del Yaguari, whore an Oribist force en tered on the 20th of July, and set fire to all the ranchos in the place. On the sth of August the truce which existed between Monte Video and the besieging force expired. Manuel Oribe, at the head of 5,000 men, had left San Jose for Durum, which he reached on the 15th of August. The object of this movement was not known, but it was supposed that the continued wavering of Oribe showed he considered his cause as well nigh lost. On the 2nd August two Corrientien ships of -.car arrived in the port of the capital of Entrerios, per fectly equipped, having on board a battalion of 100 men. On the 10th, two more Corrientien ships ar rived bringing another battalion. General Benjamin Virasoro, governor of Corrien t en, had also arrived with cavalry, and made for Con chillas, four leagues off the town of Parana, his head quarters. All the forces destined to defend Entre rios in the absence of Urquiza, were under the orders of this general. It was on the 11th that Admiral Granfell entered the Parana with the steamers Affonso Recife and Pedro the 2nd, and the corvettes Union Euterpe and 1)a Francisca. All these vessels remained stationed in the Parana with the exception of the Affonso, in which the admiral returned to Montevideo on the 27th of August. No hostilities of any moment occurred whilst the fleet ascended tho Parana. The only manifestation made against it by the Itosist, General Mansilla, was to fire 34 shots at the Brazi lian ships without once hitting one of them. Roses and Oribe were using all the means likely to contribute to their escape from the hazardous po sition in which they are placed. Our correspondent at Rio writes as follows : RIO JANEIRO, SEPT. 13. Soon after the departure of the Tcviot our coffee market opened, and some large transactions were reported at still higher prices than those quoted in my last, say 200 reis. Advises from abroad continued unfavourable, but by that strange ano maly so frequently . to be obs'erved in this mar ket, a continual rise in price was the only re sult. One reason fur this may perhaps found in the great scarcity and backwardness of the new crop, and the fact of the demand being almost ex clusively for new coffee. The sales of the month of August we estimate at 150,000 bags, three fourths of which were for the States. From the Ist until the arrival of the Tay, prices continued to advance, and 3,600 reis was paid for sonic parcels of new coffee subsequently to tho arrival of the packet. However, we have no sales to mention, and as this pause has allowed time for a stuck of about 60,000 bags to accumulate, we are perhaps justified in predletin ,, e' a somewhat lower range of prices for next week , but as regards new coffee, even this is doubtful, as not more than one fourth of the existing stock is composed of that quality. Our accounts from the interior still continue con firmatory of the great deficiency of the present crop, and it is supposed that not more than one-third of the last safra will be brought to market. The sugar market is extremely dull, with about 1,000 eases on hand. The first call upon the Bank of Brazil, 10 per cent., was paid upon the whole number of shares 20,000, on the 20th of last month, and it com menced operations on the 21st. Sales have since been made at sm. and 10m. premium. Shares of the Commercial Bank have been made at 620 m. Exchange opened at 291 to 29!, and on the sth a considerable amount was passed at 29, which since the arrival of the Tay, has been the ruling rate. In stock and specie nothing has been done. 'fire general opinion here is that the detbat of Rosas will be accomplished without any engagement or bloodshed. BRAZILIAN MARKETS. RIO DE JANEIRO, SEPT. 13.

Yr& 'r Abrams, 36. 3: LONDON, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 15 Tut dispute which has arisen at Bradford be tween the radicals and the whigs, and which will probably not be confined to that town, forms a subject upon which the whole body of liberals should • reflect, in order to see how the natural differences between them may be allowed their fair scope and rivalry, without producing that mutual invete racy and uncompromising hostility, calculated to injure both, and to retard the further progress of those principles which they have in common. Conciliation must, however, not be one-sided. If big whig burgesses will in their grandeur ignore the very existence of radicals and thorough reformers in their towns, they must expect their reward in mutiny and opposition. And if radicals, though forming a mere knot of restless people, will get up a rivalry and put fellow-citizena to trouble and expense with no real advancement of any principle or cause, they must expect to be run over and pitched into the gutter by those in full possession of the political highway. If radicals are sometimes ridiculous and rash, whigs are as often solemn and stupid; and, with the present limited franchise, the tendency even in manufac- ' taming towns is often for folka to put on a political nightcap in the shape of a member, who is to do nothing and to sly nothing for seven long purliamentary yearn. Some folk rts Bard the post of member for the borough to be a kind of honourable reward that may be conferred upon a gentleman in years, who has run a long in dustrial caner, and who is of an age and temper to require ease of body and leisure of mind. Parliament is thus converted into a kind of political Greenwich Hospital, for which a certain qualification of defunct liberalism, good private character, and independent means are required. But as to truly political qualifi cations, a knowledge of the interests, the business, the parties, the great requirementsof the country, who looks for them in a candidate? We see every day great commercial communities elect the member who is to represent them in parliament on grounds that would not warrant his being made a clerk in a third-rote counting-house. And this is the true reason of the Reform Bill having produced so little fruit. It is with satisfaction, therefore, that we shall behold certain boroughs stirred up" by the Reform Association, or by any other cause; although idle contests, got up without any fair chance of enemas, and for the mere glorification of some radical candidate, not more talented or more capable than his antago nist, are not to be tolerated. The true rivalry be tween the two sections of liberals would indeed be to see which of them would bring forward the best candidates, the most promising and efficient legisla tors. This exertion is even inure incumbent upon radicals than upon whigs ; for radicals at present have not so much to advance their cause in parliament by numbers as by the talent, the eloquence, the practical knowledge, and eminent political reputation of their champions. Whigs and tories may aim at achieving victory by counting noses. But radicals have need of brains in the present position of their affairs. And we natty should prefer a liberal reformer of capa city, though moderate in his views, to any blockhead of a radical who might seek to make up fur his political inability by going the orthodox length of Mr. Wm:. These remarks arc general, and not intended to apply specially to Bradfuni, of the merit of whose rival candidates we profess ourselves to be as yet uninformed. Our advice to electors is not to elect a drone, merely because he is respectable, has made his money in the borough, and still employs men therein. 'flail is making a nomination borough of a free constituency. What the reform party chiefly want are young men, vigorous minda, capable of having political ideas of their own , instead of taking whatever the old parliamentaries whisper to them. When we, organs of the move ment, express such wishes as these, the Was., or any other organ of the stationarics, in stantly turns round and twits us as to radical candi date* toeing no better. Reform constituencies ought to enable us to meet such a retort. They should put their best men foremost, and mot wait till the eve of a general election to look for such men. There ought always to be sufficient intellectual and political life kept up in a borough to facili tate the development of public talents. The hunidrums may not like this, and would call it agitation ; and by these means the humdrums themselves get elected. But that is the fault of the constituency in not employing the requi site means to procure their first political necessity— a fit representative. In old times the idea was that property alone needed to be represented, and that property was the best qualiticution fur such a duty. According to such rule there was no difficulty in finding the fit men to elect. There was then but one kind of property that existed or predominated, and we ace the consequence in our statute book. where every land tux and burden grows thin by degrees and beautifully less ; whilst taxes on con sumption, on furniture, as expnwcive of personal pro perty, are indirectly augmenting in proportion. ‘Ve have somewhat redressed that inequality. But still ditfivent kinds of property are very uuequally and indifferently represented; mid yet people seem to bear this with stoical patience, although they must be aware that a re-distribution of taxation within the next few years is inevitable. Them is a mountain weight lying upon Rots Bust., and, giant as he is, he still must turn 116 weary side to enable him to bear it. For the great re-settlement of taxation, all interests require their best intellects and champions to be put forward; and whatever class is badly represented will pay for it in the pocket, as well as to public consideration. And vet. with all this, never was a period marked be greater activity on the part of the aristocracy to strengthen their power, or by greater indifference on the part of the people to strongthen position, in order even to keep what they have already got. Wi: cannot yet bringourselves to believe that the go vernment of the SULTAN will persist in throwingserious obstacles in the way of the railroad, not only projected, but contracted fur, between Alexandria and Cairo. For we cannot conceive what interest the Porte could have in throwing up obstructions to our coin municatiims and our trade, and planting itself us a hostile Colossus over Egypt, and telling those two rather fonniilable powers of the modern world, Eng land and steam, that they must not pass or progress that war. The citizens of London have. we sce, been stirring in the matter, and at a meeting yesterday loud ex pressions of astonishment and of resentment were vented against the SULTAN fur his apparently "dog in the manger" policy. The manifestation is well timed, and cannot fail to have its due weight both at Constantinople and in Downing-street. We think, however, that the more simply English men regard and treat the matter the better. What English interests require is the railroad, and the less they are mixed up with the political relations of the Porte and the News, the better. For if we take up the position of defending, nut merely the Pncn,► a right to make the railroad, but his independence ge nerally, we shall get entangled in a dis pute, from which it may be difficult to emerge. What, for instance, has the right of life and death, claimed by the PAOLA, to do with the railroad? Or why ought the road and its undertaking be mingled up with the private quarrels of ABBAS F.tena, and the families of toe-Antal PACIIA, and of other descendants of MeLmaier Au ? These are said by some to have made heavy demands upon ABMs for sums accru ing to them from Mutest er's will. Whilst, we believe. truer accounts represent ABBAS P.tciLt as re-claiming from them certain advances to facilitate the great work. The feud between these cousins is, tt the bottom of the whole affair. Some of them are in Constantinop!!, where gold will do so much; and there is a knot of intrigues and coaster intrigues, entangled as only Orientals can make than, in the midst of which the plain interest of PARIS BOURSE, II Nor Account.

Exchange on Loudon, FIRE AT PORTARLINGION.—About two o'clock on the morning of Wednesday, the cry of " fire" startled the inhabitants of Portarlington. The whole of Mr. Youell's extensive range of out offices, which had been tilled with wine, spirits, tallow, sugar, and all sorts of inflammable materials, were enveloped in one hissing sheet of flame. The townspeople assembled in considerable numbers. Several attempts were made to subdue the tire ; but each exertion seemed but to increase its fury. Now serious fears were entertained for the safety of the dwelling-house (to which the offices were attached), the destruction of which for some time appeared inevitable. The doors were torn off the hinges, and the furniture and shop goods thrown into the public street. Mr. Des Voeux, J.P., who was most unremitting in his exertions on the occasion, humanely opened his house, which is at the oppoeite aide of the street, and thither, under the care of tho police, property to the amount of several hundred pounds was conveyed. The tire was still increasing every minute, when a hogshead of sugar, that was in the store adjoin ing the shop, exoloded with a report like that of a cannon, a large portion of the walls tottered and fell ; and thus, by the interposition of Providence, the dwelling was (compara tively speaking) saved; as, from that moment, the flames began to subside, and by 6 o'clock all danger was at an end. The out-offices are, however, a mass of smoking ruins, and the house itself a regular wreck. The loss of property is estimated at three thousand pounds. It is said the pre mises were only insured for half that sum. Although . several people received scratches, bruises, and severe falls, fortunately no person was seriously hurt. The fire was accidental—it originated in the ehandling.house, through the negligence of a man who had been employed running candles there to a late hour the previous evening.—Leinster
