CiOVEZNMENT, we understand, has come to the re wire, on the recommendation of the Board of Health, to do away with the idle precaution of six days quarantine, inflicted on vowels from continental ports, suspected of cholera. There certainly could be no more efficient means devised of originating and nurs ing malignant disewein ships' crews,than the sending them tor a week to Stangate Creek, in the midst of mud banks, and off a low aguish shore. Fortunately, cholera has taken upon itself to give us proofs of its non contagiousness. Very malignant oases of it appeared at Sunderland and at Hull, yet the disease has spread in neither of these towns. At Elinburgh it made a hop, step, and jump over Leitb, to make its appearance first in the wynds and closes of the Soutch metropolis, before it visited the pert, where it now rages. Here, in London, we have had it is the hulks, and then at Uxbridge, Islington, and Lambeth. Such capricious and untraceable progress as this, utterly d. strays the possibility of what we call con tagion. And inde. d, admitting the doctrine of con tagion to the utmost, how foolish and unfair would it be to persist in analog to Stangate Creek vessels from fo•cign ports that are merely suspected, whilst ships from Leith, where cholera is now malignant, run up the Thames tad weber ander London-bridge! POLITICAL lunacy is a greet misfortune, not to the individual alone who is possessed with the evil spirit, but to all who come within Hs mischievous range. As in other forms of mental malady, where the more active powers the intv beet survive self-controlling reason, it is not alwa y s easy to detect the fi rst moment of ab e rration , or to demonstrate to the incredulous standersby wherein the clang. row incoherency lies, or in what essentially it differs !tom the casual vio lence and inconeistiocy of sane though too excitable men. It often happens that some fret act of self-destruction, or destruction of the lives and hap- Owes of others, is the first overt proof given of abet late =dons. More frequently, however, the foolish fondness or criminal neglect of family and friends leads them to overlook the prem uitory &monads. tion which is afforded of progressive alienation. People "can't think it possible," until they are startled from the r indolent dream of good-for-nothing Reedit/Are by a bitter cry of suffering or death. Thus r every kind co! maniacs tasted, and th. sa where hensying filed idea is political, among the nat. We speak in no sense of levity when we say that we ascribe the miserable term nation of Mr. Bunn O'BRIEN'S carver to the malign influence of 'amenity. It is quits tree that upon ciediaary subjects he retained at all times not merely what vulgarly is called his self-porseesion but a certain common - place quickness of perception and readiest' of speech an I action such as minds of a mediocre stamp frequently dis play. To these qualities, indeed, were joined more than a fl ting share of self-esteem and of ambition. Without talents fitted to com mend in'ellectual allegiance, or to win Fe-eminent popularity . among those to whom, by birth, fortune, and educadoe, he belonged, his vanity became morbid, and his disappointment at what he deemed an unjust refusal of appreciation and respect, embittered. Start le!! in political life as a tory, he found himself, after two yearklittle valued by the followers of Sir ROBERT PAIL ; and, from the mate of public keling during . the struggle for reform, it is certain that, in common with many well-known po liticians in both kingdoms, he must either have relinquished parliamentary life, or made pro lamin of whig principles, if not something more. Hs efts the latter, we do not say dishonestly, but we are sure ambitiously ; and for ten years he laboured not within usefulness, though without celebrity or ap plause, in the cause of whig radical reform. He voted right on almost every occasion. He carefully pre pared his statements of facts and reasonings. But, unhappily, the House of Commons seldom found time to listen to his unexceptionable but unimpressive sposiber. He seldom made mistakes, save only the sad eraser ens of supposing that he had something to en which his owu party would be glad or the oppo , site party annoyed to hear. Both sides agreed too wady in their opinion of him, and were, in fact, too nearly Oglit in their judgment, that he was a man of his word, powered some information, and a good deal of industry, that he was by no means a bad sort of man, but " rather dull," and frequently a bore. In Ireland his mortificadons were still greater. O'ConneLL ruled supreme over the populace and the press; and ne"er was there a eon .ferninmely jealous reign. No man, how ever faithful to the popular tame, was safe from the imputation of wanting to set up far himself. Individual independence was a contraband commodity at "the Corn Exchange"—for as yet Cou ciliation existed not. One after another, every man who had in him any spark of moral or intellec tual protestantistn—by which we mean the love of soul liberty, and not any form of creed or dogmatism —was pilloried at the bidding of that unsparing and intolerant master of the passim* of the multitude. Lord CLONCURRT, Mr. CRAWFORD, Mr. PURCELL, even Dr.Dolve—each was in tare Immolated without remorse at the shrine of the popular idolatry. Barra °Tame himself was on one occasion assailed for some contumacious breach of discipline, and nearly bullied out of his seat fur Limerick. For ten years, however, he continued to hold outagaitua the tyranny tem of O'Cos ; and, to do him justice, urged CE44O - upon parliament the expediency of those con oesstoos of just and equal liberties to Ireland, whose refusal was the true sours. of O'Consetee dictatorial and dtrinctive power. But importunity like his, and a pliant, flexible, and slave-trading system of threats and ioconsister.t yielding., such as O'Com4xLes, proved equally vain. No right or privilege,. worthy of the flame, has been conceded to Ireland sines 1829. Created of reform in 1833, ber constituencies resemble more those of Prance under Louis PHILIPPE than those of Great Britain. Cheated of municipal reform in 1839, there is not a function of local self-rule which the corporate bodies of England or Scotland exeicase, that in the Irish cities and towns is not still performed b the jobbing officials appointed by the executive. Cheated the same year of an em met poor law, no right to relief was comoded to the famishing multitude until selfish tenor extorted it frum the treasury in 1847. Cheated of church reform, the sristocracy have contrived to =detain that scan dalous appanage regardless of every eqatty, of every decency, and of every rule of sound or wise polity. After years of futile, though of faithfol; struggle, the re.inte of nati.nal injustice seemed to be inveterate and invincible. &Comeau. exultingly reverted to the old cry of " the Repeal, " and many, in disgust and despeinjaireed with him In that cry in 1842, who had never dons so before. - _ Truly bath it been written aforetime, that " ("pees lon &troth even the wile man mad."

The policy of progressive amelioration far Ireland, for which he had long and laboriously toiled, had altogether failed tailed even of giving hint per sona infismes or position.

Would he but j bin in demanding " the repeal," imam was ennlem—lreland woad be saved! To the neglected, slighted, and uncheered man, the words of the ebereser were as an elixir of new life. The pre sumptuous dream. of boyish ambition caws back mess more. Fascinated by the eye, and intoxicated ►y the sweet flatteries of trenatteth, his vanity ex panded; his half-forgotten claims to ancestry revived, and bursting with condescension and patriotism, he agreed at last to ooaleace with O'Currtrehh. and thus lame the final redemption of his country. For months O'Cusiatht suffered him to strut about in the stipu lated capacity of joint kingship, and the poor fellow actually believed in his perfect parity with that ex traordinary man until weary of his pedantry and presumption the mockery was tut an end to by his summary expulsion, in company with all who more immediately adhered to him. But not even this, nor other useful and pitiable falls which subsequently awaited him, could dispel the loved illusion. Pelted at B:lfast, and beaten at Limerick by the populace, " in whose affection," as he used to tell the world, "he felt unspeakably proud," he still reamed on,—at Cork reproving persons for prematurely saluting him es " King of Munster," and at Mullinahone offering to take the police "into his pay!" His monomania cents to have consisted in the notion, that with a military cap on his head and a sharp-pointed pole is his hand he and a few hundred miserables like him. self. cinild dethrone the Queen and separate Irelaad from England. Sometimes he raved about establish ing a republic ; sometimes a cu•ious dreamy notion of a Celtic monarchy in the restored line of the Bons. mums appeared to haunt his imagination. But all was alike, incoherent, impotent, and illusory. We feel confident that government has all along felt the strongest disinclination to spill the blood of so vain and foolish an individual, even after the vain defiance which he flung to the court and to his sove reign on his last appearance before his judges, an act of semi-lunacy, like all the rest of his acts, at variance with the tone of his defence, damaging to himself, and still more damaging to his comrades awaiting their triaL No advantage is to be derived from rigour. SMITII O'BRIEN has fully made of himself an example. Foolish as he is, his mad extravagance was but the exaggerated consequence of a feeling very general in Ireland, a feeling which dwells in minds too honour able and patriotic not to be rooted deeper by vindic tive rigour. Mercy in the present instance is policy, as well as magnanimity. ter of a °eatery ago. Thee, a man might spring from the bar, or from the hunting saddle, or the university, and give vent at once to a stream of eloquent° on the political topic of the day. But now, polities have become a tedious and complicated sci ence, with • library to be preliminarily read through sod mastered,ahnost as tinge and dry as the lawyers'. Political eminence mast now be the r. suit of study, not improvisation. And great experience acquired either by study, by aloe, i. business, or in lung con verse with one's fellow man, can alone entitle any one to rise and act the politician. The teak is too much for the occupation of the barrister, and too se rious for the listlessness of the squire. The press it self has become a very difficult study and profession, in which declamation, or diatribe, or ringer appeals, . can co longer su ffi ce. The quart Waters of political experience is no longer enough for it. And, far from thinking with either the t imes or Lord BROUGHAM, that the power of the press can be easily procured, or likely to be wantonly exercised, and therefore desirable to be rendered insig nifirsot or anonymous, we rather imagine that the profession will become more difficult, more respected, and more important. Ass long as, like the Times and Lord BROUGHAM, the world refuses due respect and importance to journalists, they will try to escape from their position, or essay to make it • stepping stone, as in France, to political influence. But If, on the contrary, any intellectual profession be re- spooned and remunerated, as it ought, those who follow it will stay in it and display that gravity of c induct and steadiness of prisciple generally wanting in those who fling down the pen to address the senate, and who, when at their des.s, neglect conscieutiousneas, dignity, and truth, in their anxiety to force their wey into public notice, office. or emolument. The press, however, is a small part of a very great question, the question of how statesmen are to be reared snd political talent supplied. As it hi, we are lamentably deficient in both, so deficient that, instead of jealously forbidding this or that profes sion to furnish the requisi.° combination of brains and experience, we should gladly grasp at every particle of statesmsnlike skill that can be tout d. One thing is evident, which is, that the aris tocracy can no longer furnish the supply. If to.yism was effete twenty years ago, whiggism is still more effete how. Neither of the great parties have the requisite quantum of talent to adniiiiiiiter the affairs of the country, and it is doubtful if even they could command enough by coalescing. In the meantime the envious shade of this same aristocracy has pro. vented the growth of popular talent and a truly popular party. It is for the people and the middle clam a of England to look to this, and get rid of some of their prejudices. F.T as long as the opinion pre vails, such as that wt job dominates the good people of Liverpool, that stateemanlike talent can only be found in conjunction with a title and high birth, so long will the country have the present aimlessness of general policy, incapacity of particular administra thins. and hopaleskness of financial retrieval. LORD BROUGHAM and the Times are at issue u to the most effectual means of rendering journalists in significant. His lordship thinks tha', in order to the attainment of this des rable end, it is merely necessary for the writers to name themselves. The 'limes, on the contrary, thinks that their wholesome obscurity is best preserved by the anonymous. Singular to say, each champion is a striking illus tration of the failure of the procription in both cases. Lord BenVOIIAM, throughout his whole life, has been nothing but • very active journalist, a writer by the day and hour, thrusting his pen and its diurnal products into the face of the public in an hundred shapes, and gleaning hie tithe of fame from eaeh of his effusions. Lord Ban GUAM has gained lettered renown front no book." His first great book on colonial policy is eiefli.cee and common place; and all the books which ho has written since, including his French "Life of Voltaire," and the novel which he cancelled in shame, are of the lowest grade of literary mere. It is by essays and speeches, made prop , s, on the business of the hour, that Lord BROUGHAM has risen. His genius was diurnal, emi nently so; and it was by putting forward day after day the notorious penmanship and physiognomy of HENRY BROUGHAM that he reacher some sixteen years ago the trirneoce, whit'. his friends found to be undue. Lord BROUGHAM, however, is able to escape what he considers the stiginn of being a journalist, by the facilities afforded him of coming before the public as an orator and • quarterly essayist. This, however, should have rendered him more lenient towards the French, whose entire at men have had no other mode of approaching or addressing the public than through the daily press. Let it be recollected that in France there has always been a law in forte against associa tions, that one could not collect a score of friends at dinner or breakfast hour to address them, without being seized and cast into prison perhaps by the police. Louts PHILIPPR would not al.ow opposition deputies to dine together; nay, he would not allow an itinerant preacher to addrees an audience. A group in the street, • gathering in a garden, a club for reading and lecturing, was illegal. Add to this, that there existed no provincial bar of any consequence, as in theolder times of the monarchy; the revolution and the empire had centralised everything, and destroyed those nurseries of oratorical and political talent which furnished the members of the Gironde, and so many eminent provincials to the Convention. Any youth with the consciousness of talent had no resource but to his to Paris and enter the only lists open—those of the public press. A question may here suggest iiselt—was not the French bar open to a man of popular talent, like HENRY BROUGHAM—at least, the bar of the metro polis? But no, the bar in Frames led to nothing. All the official places of the law, from the Attorney-Gene. ears substitute to the highest judge, were filled, not by men who distinguished themsi Ives at the bee, but by men bred to their official functions. The rieepisirre lure formed a class apart. The bar was &vulgar, pro fitless, and aimless profession. In few instances was there a jury to adieu. No functionary could be prosecuted for any act. In short, the bar was no avenue to public lile, and eves a professorship at the university was considered a better opening into public lite. Tne questions which appear at this moment to engross most of the public attentira in Canada are electoral reform and the postal relations of the British empire with the United States. There is nothing in either that can endanger the permanence of the con u. :ion of Canada with the mother-country, if the true principles of colonial government are adhered to. But if the ultra-centralisation system of our bur. au cracy, and the subordinatiote of col meld interests and a point of f..lsc national honour guide our rulers, ho'h or either may materially weaken that connexion. The question of electoral reform, as we have re peatedly argued, is one which concerns the people of Canada alone, and ought to be left entirely to their de cision. The qualification for welcoming the elective fran chise. and the beat mode of exercising it may mosteafely be lift to their judgment. They know feelingly the psi 'sure of interests, and the distribution of power in their society, and are, therefore, beat able to devise an electoral constitution adapted to them. Whatever reform bill may pass the Canadian legislature ought at once and wi bout qua,ification to be sanctioned by the ministers of the crown. We would not have it inferred from this that we feel confident that the first reform bill passed by the Canadian legislature will be I I Perfect, but that it will be more exactly correspondent to the existing state of public opinion in the colony— more likely to be acceptable at the time than any that can be devised here. And whctever defects it may have can be remedied when felt by a second reform bil l Any substitute that the home government might adopt as framed with a lees intimate knowledge of local re- Amiens, would certainly prove lees workable, and the attempt to cram it down the throats of the reluctant eolohists would be sure to engender disaffection. The doubt we have here expressed as to the pro bable value of the &et Canadian Reform Bill does not arils. from the strength of the anti-reformers in the oniony, but from the diversity of opinion which pre vails among the reformers. A keen controversy is at present waging between two able and staunch organs of liberal opinion in Canada—the Toronto Exa miner, and the Montreal Pilot, on a fundamental principle of electoral reform. The Pilot argues that an equal number of representatives should be apportioned to Upper and to Lower Ca nada respectively. The Examiner argues that no distinction ought to be recognised between the provinces, and that the representation should be die- tributed in proportion to the population. Abstractedly considered, the view maintained by the Examiner is correct. The proposal to allot an equal number of representatives te each province is a concession to the nationality of the habitans, and objectionable as tending to perpetuate two distinct and antagonistic races. A repreeentatioe based strictly upon the pope la' ion woad promote the fusion of the French and English races, and would at the same time leave the minority ample power to avert forcible suppression of it. peculiarities. But it may be that, in the present distribution of parties in Canada, a reps siltation based upon papule ion alone may be unattainable. Perhaps the French reformers, rather than accept of a reform bill based upon that principle, would join with the anti-reform minority to throw it out. The Canadians must be contented, not with the best possible reform bill, but with the beat that can be carried by legitimate means in the present state of public opinion. The F.xaminer admits that the present House of Assembly (though by an acci dent) represents truly the majority of electors. The bill which passes an Assembly so constituted will, therefore, of necessity, be such as 'the majority of electors wish. We have indicated above the bad consequences which would ensue from the imperial government's putting itself in open and avowed opposition to the will of the Canadian people as expressed through their legislature, and rejecting the Reform Bill ; any clandestine unavowed attempt to prevent such a bill paining by tampering with members of the French and conser vative t artier, u it would be itfinitely more discre ditable, would be also infinitely more mischievous. The question of electoral reform in Canada is one in which every sound principle of colonial govern ment prescribes a passive policy to the imperial administration. The question ot the postal arrange ments between Great Britain and the United States is, on the contrary, one in which the imperial severe went ought to act, and that promptly. The United States Post-office has increased the postage from New York to Liverpool on every half-autos letter from 26 cents. to 48 cents , and on every news paper from 5 cents. to 8 . cents. The @assignees* is that the Canadian mails from itailisjd e whisk formerly came by New York or On, rose now by H The Canadians have to choose be tween the more lengthy and the most frequently in tetrupted route or an exorbitant postage. And foe this they are indebted to the British government, for the increased rates of the Amelican post office are simply retaiirory for the extra charges imposed by the British post-office on letters brought from America by the United States (keen ate mars. An article from the New York Journal of Commerce, which 1,11 insert in another column of this day's publicat as, shows that some Americans at least are fully aware of the suicidal character of such retaliatory policy. But the British government ought not to leave its Canadian subjects to obtain redress by the slow process of such sound opinions acting opon the American government through the convictions of the legislature. Neither would it be wise for the British government to allow the Canadians to obtain redress for a grievance, which its own short-ighted jealousy has entailed upon them, from the sagacity and mesas of justice of the American givernmenL Not a ma- I meet ought to be lost by our ministers in initiating a more equitable and mutually bent ficial postal ar rangement with the United States. The general com mercial interests of the country require this, and such a step by showing the Canadians that the imperial With us in England the ranks of political life tilled by thaw of the gentry and iristocraoy who will devote themselves to the acquirement of political knowledge—by barr eters whom habits and practice naturally . fit them for and in troduce them to politics—by commercial men, who have especial interests to detend or pro mote, and whose experience is valuable, and only to be acquired in the position they hold. In France theme three sources of politics' eminence were almost dry. The aristocracy is no more ; country gentle men without irfinence or experience, roved to be bigoted and bad legislators—they it was, wioireci posted the throne of the elder Bourbons to perdition. The bar, from the causes which we have ibed, furnished hw statesmen. Commerce was more pro lific, and gave the PERRIERS and the Lsmrine. But all the young talent of the nation, of all grades, sought the press. CHATEAUBBIAND, the Duo de BROGLIE, Count MONTALLMBEET, took to writing in the public journals. M. Outzor, M. THIESS, the entire of the eminent politicians and ministers of LOUIE PHILIPPE'S reign, acquired their first eminence in the columns of the press. It was they who set the example, and who taught the people and the sovereign to look for statesmen in the offices of journals. Lord BROUGHAM, therefore, in anathematising the press, is in reality cast:ng contumely on those whom he most admires. And he does so in utter ignorance of what he is talk ing about. Nor when the Times speaks of the dif ferent effects of the anonymous and noo.anonymons, does it make a less idle and irrelevant distinction. The fears and the ideas entertained by both re specting the press, could only have sprang from want of reflection. The press in France ac quired its importance, as the source of states manship, by all other sources being dried or abut up. Let the bar be flung open ; the judges taken from it. Let there be provincial courts. Let the right of association be permitted. Let men address their fellow-men as they list, form clubs and societies freely and openly. Let municipal bodies, let provincial seowile, have influence and freedom of discussioe, esmething more than a name, and men with political talent will no longer choose the press as the sole ave nue to distinction and to power. There is at this moment a great dearth of political talent both in France and England : in France be cause the sources and schools of political experience and talent are closed. In England the great want arises from the circumstance that political knowledge and capacity have now become more difficult and serious things than they were even a guar- r.veroment is, fur their sake, reedy to retreat and re- I had reasalawl a terauger to all that took place.

FRANCE. THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY. BITTING OP MONDAY, OCT. 16. _ _ At one o'clock W Marmot, prendt;iit, twit the chair. M. DUlitlll.l, Millais or 01 the Interior, socended the tribune and preteated a project of decree, tendiog to obtain an edditionel credit ot 100 0001. for secret *trek* corpus. K. Valour* said that General Cavaience, in virtue of the p elms vested in him by the Awned', had inve-te4 severe of ita members with the direction of the affairs of the country. It WM consequently i dispensable that it should know the afittioseuta which sairna.ed the sew ministers, sad they bad seiz-d that opp etuaty to ascertain in • solemn monner wheth.r those sent• manta weer contorinaUe to theirs. .—..—. --- It was imptssiole to e .nc.ive two diffvent systems of go verninfat. The country had spontaneously proclaimed the republic, a government which called every citizen to parti cipate in the government of the counts', a noble institution, testing on thi principle of the lovers guty of the people, and on liberty, equality. and fraternity prociaiosed 18 centuries ago by Christian n velatioe.

He regret'. d to say that the very name of Republic inspired tear al d distrust, In consequence of the recollections of another period, and the eppienensione of a return to a system which was now out of the question. This wee the real cause of the duitritit which in , psred doubts for M.

As respected the last mint.try, h e declared that he hail resisted to the last moment it, retire. meet. . _ _ M. LIDRI7 Rouen, who followed, contended that it use not the vote of the Assembly that had induced tie c binet to reline Another cause mu.t have rendered that in ears ie. dispensable. M. Sensed had declared himself a eartisan of conciliation. Eveiybudy advocated conciliatien, hut te en were two sorts of conciliation. One &oiled the eiehniee predominance of the men who were the last to join the le. publican party to the exclusion of the men who had Rim guarantees to the country. The reconstruction of the ea. binet was not a c in pa t entered into with principles bat with men (" with France," exclaimed ratinenius voices). M. Ledrieltollia then ,Iced if the new minis.. re outage. plated to supersede in their cfnees the tie ctionaries platted since the revolution of February who had giv• n pledgee i s that revolution. The programme, presented by M. De. faure, contained nothing but generalities, and could easily be violated. Here M. Ledrießollin was interrupted by such violent and contain , d murmurs on the right that, finding it ieipowible to proceed, he descended from the tribune. The greatest con. fusion ensued, particularly at the upper extremita he right, where most of the members were then standing with their backs to the Assembly, and gesticulating furiously. When silence was restored. M. MARTIN DR STRASBOURG ascended the Wt. nne mad soil that a member having pronounced a word *hid' cep. 'reared to have wounded the Assembly, be wished to ex. plain it, and it was fair that he should be heard. (Cries of " No, no.") M. TASCIIEREAG having risen amidst the tumult, and in vited the President to preside, the latter called him to order. Silence being restored, General BEDEAU rose and said that he gave his most at tire adhesion to the pew miuietry, because the country was sect:coned to honour in them a long tried probity. That he considered to be a real guarantee for tar lutes; and he did nut inquire for the more or low remote date of their convictions, The men who composed the ministry appeared to him so in imatefy in accord with the actual and real interests of the country that be gave them his moat unconditional confidence. At the appronch of the pre sidential eb trios it wee indispensable that men enjoyii g the high again of the country, should he at the helm, end that the ministry shenld bee ministry of conciliation and not ex clusion. He wished to rally ti e great nation I party round the banner of the republic—he meant an honest and conser vative republic. (Laud clamours on the left., M. Decoux, late prefect o police, who rose next, observed that if the men recently appointed were e anm. ndable for honesty, it followed, no doubt, that those • hi y succeeded were not so. (No, no.) He admitO d that the country was becoming daily more hostile to the republic, but this was en tirely owing to the fear of communhm, which he considered chimerical, as any government bkely to subsist should be founded on the eternal basis of family and pe.perty. 0. DUFOUu said that there existed as In) ilk How , cause for the change in the cabinet he could not dieeleee—(" Tell it," cried several voices)—but which lied had for its result to cord mil the government of the republic to the hands of men who had been conquered by the republican party. M. Dereelift then roe, and was on:, interrupted by the applause of the Assembly. He commenced by showing that men who—like MM Vivien, Freston, and himself—for four months had participated in the deb .te on the re publican constitution etere worthy of representieg and defending the interests of the republic. He then proceeded to show the difference between the past and the tresent, saying that when France had a monarchical constitution it was honest to respect it whilst everything wan sacral, ed to its interests. But the revolution bad enlarged the exercise of electoral rights, anti by calling every devoted mind to constitute a re public, France had mere than ever the right to call upon thee* who bad been chosen by universal suffrage as man tels of the Assembly. The majority of the Assembly was now the real expreeeion of the majority of the country, and if that majority granted a vote of confidence t- the new ml. nisrers, they (the ministers) could act with the certainty that they went with the country. If the question had been one respecting a definitive power, perhaps he (51. Detente) would have hesitated, but in maiming office he sad his col leagues only desired to await the moment when the Presi dent of the ft , pitblic should be named—they did not think tney could refuse their support to the brave and courageous general who Lad asked for it. Had they refused, it might have been thought that they hesitate ] to serve the republic. and this se flec ion necessa rily determined them. It was far •rom his %noughts to rim iest the services rendered by his predeceseora to the repub lic. What thee wanted was a republican government friendly to order and liberty, and conformable to the niajoiity of the country. Without that there could be but ansrcby and im potency. M. Dufaure concluded her saying Viet nobody, whether in the assembly or elsewhere, un. ennead better than the present members of the government what suffering and poverty were. By re-establishing order, the best eh= would be used to relieve that want, not by elevating thc unfor tunate at the expense of the fortunate, but ey wisely moan eipating the necessitous classes with zeal and devotion. With those tendencies, and with the support of t he Assembly, they would be the Test defenders of the republic. After a few words from Mr. °MERU, in opposition to the ministerial programme, and from Mr. DUCLERC on the same side, the chamber proc eded to vote as blows; Number of voters, 721—For the ministry 570 Against it the tenure; and the country hesitated to trust in a govern ment which did nut afford it every security. These appre hensions, sincere end fatal, conati . ut.d the weakness of the pressed government. The new ministers should, by every means, combat those apprehensions, and endeavuur to de monstrate to the people that the republic was not an agitated state of society and the revolution en permanence. They would labour to seat it on the solid b.sia of liberty, society, family, and property. The mountey no longer thought of monarchy, but it knew that, without the fulfilment of these conditions, no government could endure. It recollected that, ' fifty years ag France threw herself into the arms of mqt trey despotism 001:12 a horror of anarchy. The cabinet would strive to put a period to all disorders and to realise principh aeo wisely erocleimed, which ensured inviolability to the humblest citizens, end. r the protecting w , is of the republic. The future destine. aof Humpe depended on the restoration of order and tranquillby in France. The cause of liberty and civilization was also at stake. The ministers would endeavour to rkelise those objects; their acts should ev.r tend to that end, and they should be con stantly anemia. dby a profound love of the republic. They, uuwercr, hoped th.it the Assembly should grant them a support and confidence, without which power would expire in their hat do. M. LANDILIN said it had been their intention to give to the present bead of the et , cutive power their free and &cid, d uppirt, whatever ministry he mieht form. We have done so, he afire', became we were in a great degree his per sonal fr. entb. Our votes were rather votes of confidence than votes of cunformity of poll Teal opinion and gym pinny. But when we now see that he has shifted the basis of his majority and seeks one eitiewhere, we have to ask oarselves ran we support him ? We leer we cannot. The orator then went on to say that the cabinet had put the question frankly to the Areembly, and he thanked it far that manly conduce, He, however, could see no necessity lot choe.ing the new ministers among a fraction of the As windily who lead not co operates in the foundation of the r. public. lie wee not reclusive, and did not think that those alone who had made the revolution should be invested with its government. lie wished all to participate in it. Since the events of June he had coretently given a vote of co: fidence to the cabinet, but he should withhold his sup port from a ministry that had as yet done nothing to jugity it. Gen. CAVAIONAC then ascended the tribune tine said—The hon rept. Sentstife who has lan left the tribune has stated the reasons why he thinks you ought to refute us • vote ot cunt Leine—iu consequence of the admission of certain new members into the cabinet. Without in any respect Haim( to shrink from my own share of re,p .nsibility, I think it better to leave in the hands of the blinioG r of the Interior the task to giving explanations on that head. Tee hon. re presentative has said th.t for the last three mutts his voles in rapport of the cabii.et had been votes of confi dence rather than votes of opinion and sympathy. I was sot before aware that such was the fact, and now let me say to him, and to those who have been acting I:ke him ' that it was the repeated uccurrence of votes de 'tenet in such clear ers' of motive that induced the ministers at length to give in their nsignatirm sooner than support ar quitrocal pennon.

Such is the rule in ordinary bee. s. Bet in June, when the time was not of an ordinary dander, I did net think when I was called on to take the government that it was possible fur tee to have such ministers as I might have per-onally preferred. The country was then struck to the earth by the events of June, and the great point was to raise it up. To effect that object it became im peratively necessary to make encroachments, temporary en croachment', on the great principle of liberty itself, and I think that in so serious and delicate a lath no men could bare acted better than those ministers by whom I was sus tained. That administration was never considered to be the final government of the republic, not even by those who con eututed it. The great question was to form a ministry, and such • ministry are supported by the majority, would be able to hold on until the definitive constitution of the go vernment. Such was the opinion that only • few days ago I laid bef.re tie cabinet. Ido not think necessary to speak of myself personally. The t eople I cons i der to be the real sovereign In the matter. Tim people are my judge, but I must add that Ido not call them my master. Yes, said the general, turning towards the left, I do hold that I ought not at a moment when I may be about to withdraw from power, use expressions designed to flatter the people and to wear the air of et ctoral canvassing. (Loud cheers.) After some months of an administration often attacked, the uncertain votes of the assembly had ended in weakening the govern , meat in the eyes of the country. Then came on the question of election of the president of the republic, by the assembly or by universal suffr. ge. If the majority had been in favour of the nomination by the assembly, I should have abstained, lest my vote should have had a certain arithmetical value; but as the majority was certain, I voted with the Minority ; and I did so that the country might knew my ideas on the subject, and not sup pose that I wilted to deceive it as to my opinion. It is not that 1 feel it to be a pleasure to find myself, like Cato, in the vamp of the vanquished. I remain there when lam there ; oat I cannot forget that liberty gains nothing in having its ' Ire defenders doomed to the fate of Cato at Utica.-The ministry having become weakened, as I said, and although I differed with it oe the subject of the election of the Presi dent of the Republic, I yet thought that it ought not to re sign. Still the members persisted, when the votes rt the press took place, and I was of course obliged to form a cabi net. As fur myself, the moment the ministry was dissolved I saw that my duty was to seek amongst the majority for the elements of a strung determined government. The objections against the new combination are of a personal character. The word conciliation had often been mentioned at this tri. Mane, and I could not consent to let slip the opportunity of effecting an act of conciliation when that opportunity was afforded by the necessity of torming • inmlifty. That °oscillating has been effected. (Cries of " Yes." and " No.") Yes it is a decided set of conciliation, what ever may be the result, and I consider it an honour to have undertaken it. (Loud cheers.) Those w o oppose this act are n..t in my . opinion in the true path. I think they are eacrificing their own repatatlon in th e ey e s of th e coun t r y. I believe they are doing poor senior to the republic. (Great sensation followed this speech.) M. PORTAL'S, who bad been procurear-general of the executive commission, rose amidst strove! marks of dissatis faction. He slid th at nothing could be leas objectionable than the prioeiples laid down in the prevenient, that had I been read by the new Minister of the Interior. It was such as every one present would sign with his blood, for it contained a declaration of the prieciples of liberty, equality, and fraternity, which they all pp fused. lie then went on, amidst much in terruption to review the circumstances connected with the vole at M. Durrieu'a motion relative to the suspension of the journals. and weith had led to the modification of the ministry then he proceeded to say that he thought it strange that the en minister of the Interior should not have at once come forward to declare what were the matrons which led to his ma guidon. It Irma satisfaction due to the assembly. M. SIMARD intimated his intention to speak, w ex cited some sensation. M. PORTAL'S observed that he Will rejoiced that he had elicited that expression of intention, and be would make way for the ex-mieister, contenting himself by declaring that be attached little credi t written programmes. M. SIMARD nest rose and proceeded to eindicsts different acts of his administration. His republican principles, he thought, could not he questioned : they were not however exclueive. He believed that if the government wished France to give it her adhesion, it should be gained by inspir ing her with confidence, by placing in office men of all parties, who had sincerely joined the Republic. He had consequently incurred the reproach of opposite parties ; by some he had been stigmatised as • Royalist reactionary ; by others, as •T. regent. Hs then examined the petition of the cabinet in the Assembly, and showed the majority to have been undecided, shakes, anent:sin. Ontwooccasions he had tendered his resignation. The first was when the Assembly disapproved his plan of sending commissaries to the depart , ments; and the other, on the day of the discussion on the ban quet of Toulouse. He had bean of opinion that the public fiann wanner, of that city might mist at it, if though t t that they could by their presence prevent an anaicaems stration. The general, however, commanding the divbion e after accepting the invitation, had refused it the day beim, without our suiting the other authorities, and the ladder of War had appr .ved from the tribune the cenduct of that officer. On another ocessiou when 800 members rejected the mode of election of the P resident by the Assemb ly he and his collesgusa voted with the minority of 200. The council bad afterwards assembled, and deliberated to know whether it could honourably continue its office. The idea of the retirement of all was at once abandoned, becalm of the embarrassed situation in which it would have placed the Assembly; but a modification was deemed ind.ias= an ble.

NAPLES.—Advices from the capital, which reach to the 7th inst., bring intelligence of the King having issued a decree authorising the creation and sale of 600,000 ducata of annual reams, which, together with 100,000 created a short time back in lieu of the forced loan, will increase the principal of the funded debt of Naples 14,000,000 ducats, or about 2,333,0001., and the annual expenditure 700,000 ducats, or about 116,6001. The object of this proceeding is to provide for the deficit, at 1,000,000/. fur each of the years, 1848 and 1849.

The Emperor of Austria has reached 011miits, in Moravia. This is a fact pregnant with importance, as it shows the determination on the part of the court to throw themselves upon the Slavouian party for su ThppoeVienna papers of the 11th inst. have reached us. The news of that day is, however, scarce and doubtful; one thing is certain, that on the night of the 11th rockets were sent up from the tower of St. Stephen's Church, as the preconcerted signal for the levy . of the landsturm. Danger, toerefore, was imminent. It was said that Vienna had been bombarded. On this subject the Breslau Gazette of the 12th inst. con tains the following : a Breslau, 10 p.m. Oct. 12. —The poet from Vienna has not arrived, and cer tain intelligence with regard to the state of affairs there is wanting. Rumours, however, of various kinds are abroad. We give the following, without ranching for its truth. It is stated that the rails on the line from Vienna have been torn up for a distance of five miles, that Count Auersperg in company with Jellachich and Windiscbgrktz was bombarding Vienna, and that the fire was re . urned from the ram parts of the town. The city is said to be in hates in several places." The rumour above referred to can evidently not be traced to any very satisfactory source. Reports were also current to the effect that all the imperial troops had received orders to be in the vici nity of Vienna on the 13th, so that, if those reports be true, it is not likely that the city would be bom barded, if such an intention existed before the 13th or 14th. Russian intervention, so far at least 1111 Gallicia is concerned, was confidently spoken of. The Diet received on the 11th a letter from the minister Hornbostel (place from which it was written not published), announcing the resignation of his post, on the ground that he would not be responsible for all the steps which had been alreddy token, or which might be hereafter taken. On the evening of the 11th Jellachich's troops weer posted on the so-called Wiener Berg (Vienna hill), in the immediate vicinity of the city. The Diet, during its evening' &Inbar on the 10th, was addressed by the minister Krems, who said that the courier who had ben sent to the it later Horn hostel had returned, bearing the arswer we have given above. The messenger had met that minister near Hadersdorf, behind Edens. No orders had been f 1 I ■ .... rea toe the dir cog ho ea ho hii
