LIVERPOOL, JAN. 12.-The week's imports comprise a good arrival of Wheat and a large one of Flour and Indian Corn, whilst the exports, chie fl y to Ireland. continue on a liberal scale; and the demand for the two first-named articles for our local consumption, as well as that of the interior, seems to have materially iacreased of late weeks against our diminished ability to meet it. From Friday hit we have had a continued extensive demand fur Wheats and Flour, both free and in bond, to dealers and speculators, at further improving rates ; and to-day we have a confirmed advance of 6d. per 70 lb. on the former, upon a large sale of all descriptions.

It renews those " good and intimate relations" which "so long subsisted ;" " the maintenance of which " is to secure "the prosperity, as well as the security of the two states. There is here no mention of Spanish inde pendence, or of Spain's rank and right as a separate nation of Europe. Its prosperity is made to consist in a junction with the prohibited com mercial system of France. The security of the two countries is to consist of their being linked together, and their presenting a com bined alliance against all other powers, England especially. The declaration is clear as day; it is that of the Bourbon lily against the world, with the Itus sian eagle to back it. Now, we by no means say that it is the deter mination of Lovis PHILIPPE to pursue this bold and hazardous policy, which, howevar he may have partially end successfully followed in secret, he has never openly practised or avowed. We merely say that his speech menaces it; and this simply because he judges menace the beat mode of at present bringin g England and its govern ment into his views. Ihe aims of the French King at this moment are to bring England into a recog nition of the right of the Duke and Duchess of MONT PENSIER to succeed to the Spanish throne. Without this the aim of the Spanish marriages . remains in completed. If England or its present ministry .. was to have been wheedled into this, Louis PHILIPPE would have been a wheedling speech. We will be bound to say, that had Lord ABERDEEN been in power, it would have been " soft sawder" from one end to the other, as it was last year. But Lord PALMERSTON is in, and the King of the FRENCH takes the furious or the sullen vein, as the beat adapted for his purpose. We do not think that there is an atom of sincerity in one kind of language more than in the other. We neither believed in the love-making of last year, which, for contrast sake, we quote below, nor in the war-making of this.* And if we allow ourselves to be frightened now, we should be just as big dupes as people were last year, when they put their faith in the cordial entente of the palace of Eu. • Now- —The following is the peerage in the French King's speech of last year :—" The friendship which mires me with the Queen of Great Britain, and of which she again so affectionately pre me • proof, together with the mutual confidence earning between the governments, has happily, secured the pod and intimate relations between the two states." IT is impossible to conceive a more ungenerous, a more dangerous, series of political arguments, for policy they cannot be called, than those which are daily indulged in by the Tines. It takes invariably for its subject the poor starving Irish peasant—the almost as distressed and perplexed Irish landlord. Having placed these unhappy beings, without con sulting them, on a stool of repentance, it proceeds to lecture them upon their sins and misfortunes. The Times admits these victims to be bankrupt and starving, but denies that they have the least right to charity or commiseration. They are Celts : they are guilty of the original sin of descending from an indi genous race, and therefore ought to have disappeared, like the red man. . . Our contemporary contrasts these starving, crowded Irish with the well-conditioned English man and the canny Scot ; and, continuing its vituperations to poor PADDY, it bids him look without envy at his happier brother; and, at the same time, strike his breast and own that his comparative misery is his own Irish, Celtic fault. England has manufactures and civic wealth: Scotland has grown to be a land of industry : and it is alto gether PADDY'S own faalt, if he has not now a manu facturing metropolis like Glasgow, or like Manchester, in the midst of his bogs. The poor Irishman, if these police-magistrates of the press would deign to listen to him, could advance many an excuse. He might say, that, during those centuries when England's lower classes were ac quiring thewes and strength, and when her institutions were developing, Ireland was kept in a field of strife and slaughter by English rapacity and ambition. Later still, when the middle classes of England rose to the acquirement of wealth, of privilege, and free dom, these very middle classes of England undertook to thrust their improved religious ideas down Irish throats by the sword. The seventeenth century, a glorious era of freedom to England, was one of extermination and bloodshed to Ireland. The eighteenth century, during which England profited by the blessings of freedom and of peace to lay the foundation of her, and of Scotland's, commercial prosperity, Ireland was governed by an iron code which denied the right of property to three-fourths of her population, which jealously prevented her manufactures, which condemned her sons to slavery, and her soil to barrenness. It .was under this galling, this inhuman, yoke, that the lower class of Irish were encouraged to multiply like the slaves of the ergasitilum, or the beasts of the field, without forethought or provision, in order to swell the political and electoral importance of those lords who had been imposed upon them. Is it fair, is it generous, is it prudent, to reproach the poor Irishman of the present day, the living result of such concentrated misrule, with being him. self the cause and the criminal ? It is easy to sum up his incapacities and miseries, and say that they are the attributes of a Celt. Are not the Scotch, the Welsh, the Bretons, the Basques, Celts too ? brave, industrious, orderly, civilised, according to their vicinity . to great centres, and not according to the nonsensical and impertinent distinctions of birth and race. And all this cold, hypercritical scanning of the rags of misery, this studied depreciation of the Celt, with bigot arguments borrowed from the opinions, which slaveholders entertain of the negro—this is not the idle criticism of a leisure moment, an argument thrown up for discussion in prosperous times, when the Irish, however humbled, had at least their bellies filled to enable them to bear the poignancy of a jest No—the time chosen for these denunciations, these odious comparisons made between nation and nation, race and race, is precisely when the poorer people are brought down not to the verge but into the midst, the sore reality, of starvation. We know of towns, where the articles of the Times have stopped subscrip tions for the Irish, already commenced, when it has caught the open hand of the charitable already stretching forth their mite, and thrust it back into the giver's pocket. We know the name of the French Jacobin, who gloried in being the proeureur-general of the guillotine. The 2Ymes is the attorney-general of Irish starvation. All this on the part of our contemporary is neither more nor less than repeal agitation. Never did the family and followers of O'CONNELL utter arguments, so directly tending to a separation of the countries, as those articles of the Times. And its pointing out of remedies is just as pregnant with this conclusion, as its denunciation of abuses. Ireland would have been spared all this, it says, had it been given, like England, a poor-law. But how came England by its poor-law ? The poor of old were fed by the monasteries out of the ample revenues of the church. These revenues were confiscated, as ill bestowed, and they were made over to the aristocracy. With the land of the church was transferred the charity of the church : a poor-rate was imposed, and soon made obligatory. Does the Times propose this for imita tion in Ireland? The Irish will not say that it comes too late. Then our contemporary expends half a column on a comparison between Irish and Scotch, and the causes of their difference. In that comparison it omits altogether the many potent causes of Scotch prosperity and content. Amongst these, the con stant and wisely directed stream of patronage, which during half a century made Scotland the receptacle of so much colonial wealth, is not alluded to. Had Ireland had a Lord MeLviLLE in the Tory cabinet, her landlords would be now as obsequious as the Scotch. But why does the Times lure the Irish into these re searches and comparisons ? Is it prepared to make over to Ireland the religions independence and self government which Scotland secured to itself at the union, and the practical independence which it was wisely allowed to enjoy in other respects? Our contemporary may depend upon it that the more it probes the causes of Irish ill, the worse it will be for its claim of English supremacy ; the wider the comparison which it insti tutes between Ireland and other provinces of the empire, the more iniquitously will Ireland appear to have been treated ; and if a union at all is to be preserved between the countries, a union requisite to English greatness and strength, it will be rather by repairing LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JAN. 13. TUE speech addressed by the King of the FRENCH to his Chambers on Monday is the first expression of Royal opinion, since the revolution of July, with which England had ever reason to be dissatisfied. Louls PHILIPPE, on such occasions, was always courteous to this country ; and even when hatred to England was strong amongst his people, the leaguer. of the King was temperate, conciliating, and mild. It is not rude even now. But it is me nacing to the eye of the statesman and the diplomatist. In order fully to estimate its cha racter and import, let us first consider what, as Englishmen, we might have rationally expected from the French King's speech. In the first place, there is not a doubt, bat that in the affair of the Spanish mar riages there was much to mortify and to annoy us. Our interests as well as our confidence were betrayed. We certainly suffered, what made the French so sore in the affairs of Syria, an amoindrissement or diminu tion of our dignity and influence. France, or at least the ORLEANS family, were great and decided gainers. England loet in every way, and that not merely in the sphere of politics and diplomacy, but in the extension ef trade, and the probable settlement of pecuniary claims :—to use French phraseology, we suf fered moral and material injury. How far it was politic for us to resent this, is a question for future consideration. But this at least is certain, that England and its government, after what had taken place, might have expected at the hands of France, or at least from the mouth of its king--of the hea d of the family who had profited by duping us —some expressions of conciliation, of regret, or of con trition. Instead of any such salve, we are treated in a ruder manner than we were ever treated before. Having given England a slap upon one cheek in Madrid, the French give us another in Paris. Their court journals talk, how glad they should be to have our alliance ; but the French King, in his speech, plainly shows that he is prepared to do without that alliance. Another thing we might have e x pected in that speech would have been an expression of indigna tion as to Cracow. All the world knows that the de struction of that last free city of Poland was effected by Russian dictation. But what do we find in the French King's speech ? For the first time in any such speech we have a friendly paragraph devoted to Russia, whilst the absorption of Cracow is merely characterised as an "unexpected event," against which France had entered a formal protest. Contrast the dryness and coldness of this paragraph upon Cracow, which the Russian Envoy, Mr. KISSE LEFF, might have written —or, we should say, must have written--contrast this with the exuberance of expression, in which the advantages of the Infanta's marriage are pointed out. If we might have expected more warmth or resent ment in the matter of Cracow, we might have e . THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 13, 1847. to this country, whilst the charitable and humane feelings which the greater and hippicr country would willingly, and in its own generous nature reci procate, are to be snapped offend bidden to wither by the coarse, the stupid, the inhuman, and impolitic execrations and sophistication of the Times. WHAT has befallen the Turks that they, or at least that their political changes, should 60 little interest us ? There was a time when we felt every move at Constantinople with as much sensibility as we did those at Vienna or Madrid. Now, statesmen at the Porte rise and fall, and the event is scarcely chronicled. Our Constantinople letter announces the fall of old KUoSREP, the veteran Seraskier, the patron of the old Turk party—the opponent, though not the bigotted one, of ltkannin and reform. KHOSEF.F was utterly disgraced many years back, when his ease seemed as hopeless as that of PEEL after reform, but KHOSREF fought his way hack to power at the head of the Turkish Tories, and maintained himself there stoutly. SAID PACIIA, brother-in-law to the young Sultan, is named Seraskier in his place, according to these accounts. RF. , CIIID PACITA still retains his power in the ascendant, and has, indeed, just given proof of his being still imbued with the ideas of the West, and determined to act upon them. 10.,,CH1D, despite the efforts of Austria, has caused the Turkish government to protest against the annexation or Cracow. Turkey has, indeed, more reason for alarm than any other state. Cracow's fall is her m.o.:4mm? ardet Ucukgon. When Poland is digested and Circassia devoured, the Russian bear may direct its appetite at leisure westward of the Danube. Perhaps KROSREVS fall was owing to the pro test for Cracow, necessarily so displeasing to Russia, for we are as yet without details. Pi rhaps it is connected with the determination of RESCIIID PACHA to reduce the turbulent and sanguinary chiefs of Kurdistan. The readers of the Daily News cannot but hare perused with interest those letters from our correspondent in the Levant who, in his route from Trebizond to Syria, has tra versed the wild region of I)iarbekir and Mosul, and surveyed' he scenes of the massacre of the unfortu nate liestorians. We are much to blame for our re- missncss in their behalf; and the American mission aries to blame also for their intemperate zeal. It was their interference which first awoke Munnlman jea lousy, and created this dread persecution and massacre of the last Christian races of Central Asia. RIZSCHID PAcaA vows vengeance, though he has shown his desire of it oddly enough by sending to compliment the san guinary Bey. The Turkish minister excuses himself by representing such compliments as necessary fore runners of Turkish vengeance. In this respect, as in others, ItESCRID might have adopted European ideas with advantage. The great reforming minister of Turkey pursues his: task of improvement with :much slowness end caution. Ilia meditated reduction of Kurdistan is said to be a portion of his scheme for reducing the paellas to be regular and removable governors with fixed salaries. This necessary reform RESCHID not been able to accomplish even west of the Bee phorus. And still upon the l)asube sit pachas of the old school, enthroned in their strong castles, and grinding the population. Much will depend upon RESCIIID'S success in this Kurdish war, the true secret of power in the East—at least, the power to be built up, independent of the sovereign—being military success. This RESCRID has not yet obtained. It was KUOSREF'S military reputation that supported him. That all influence at the Porte should at this moment be disputed by two ministers altogether civilian, ItEscitin and RIZA, shows the pacific character of the young Sultan, and his dislike of turbulent or military favourites. PARIS, MONDAY EVENING. ' As stated by us yesterday, the French Chem- I hers were opened on Monday, by the King in 1 person, with all the accustomed ceremonial. The whole of the distance from the Tuileries to the Palais Bourbon was lined on both sides with national guards and troops of the line, whilst on the Place de la Concorde strong detachments of municipal guards kept back the spectators as far as the first fountain. The doors were thrown open at the Chamber of I Deputies at ten o'clock, for such persons as had been favoured with tickets ; but before that hour arrived a number of sight-seers had assembled outside, anxious to secure the best places. By eleven o'clock nearly all the seats reserved for the public were clam- ' pied, ladies occupying the front of all the galleries and the pourtour which runs round the Chamber below. The arrangements in the interior of the Chamber were similar to those of former years. The royal seat was placed on a wide estrade, raised over the spot where the President of the Chamber usually sits. At each side of it were arranged tabouret3 of crimson velvet, edged with gold lace, for the four princes. High above the platform rose a rich canopy, also of crimson velvet and gold, surmounted on the centre and sides with faisceaux of tri-coloured digs. Below the platform were disposed benches for the ministers, the grand deputations of the two Chambers. general officers, members of the Council of State, and other dignitaries. About twelve a few peers and deputies began to arrive. Amongst the earliest were the Marquis de Itoissy, Count de Murat, Count de Montalembert, M. Leserjeant de Monnecove, M. C. Laffitte, M. 0. Bar rot, &c. M. Thiera entered rather late, and was warmly greeted by his friends. A little before cne, the diplomatic corps took their seats in the tribune reserved for them, close to that of the ladies of the royal family: they were all in grand uniform, with stars and orders, and presented a very brilliant appearance. The Marquis of Normanby, who was seated next to the Turkish ambassador, attracted very general attention. Shortly after the ministers entered the chamber in full official costume, beaded by Marshal Soult, the President of the Council, and took their places below the platform. On the right were placed Marshal Soult, M. Guizot, Baron de Mackau, General de St. Yon de Moline, and M. de Salvandy ; and on the left, M. Dumon, M. Lacave-Laplagne, M. Cnnin-Gridaine, M. Duehatel, and M. Martin (du Nord). The ministers had barely time to take their places when the queen's tribune was thrown open, and her Majesty entered, followed by Madame Adelaide, the Duchess of Orleans, and other Princesses. oad cries of " Vive la Heine !" greeted her arrival. The young Duchess de Montpensier was the grand object of attraction. She was simply dressed i n a dark coloured dress and a yellow bonnet, lined inside with pink, and looked exceedingly interesting. Amongst so many princesses, remarkable for their personal at tractions, it was universally admitted that she was worthy to take her place in such a circle. A little after one the cannon of the Invalides gave notice that the king had left the Tuileries, and in about ten minutes after a flourish of trumpets and drums outside the Chamber announced his Majesty's arrival. Soon after the Grand Deputations, which had received the king, entered the Chamber, Duke Pasqnier at the head of the Peers, and M. Sauzet at the head of the other Chamber, and tyik their seats in front of the throne. After them came the general officers, posedp e2 aides-de-camp, the uerries, the colonels of the na tional and munici guards, and the other officers who had coin the royal cortege. They ascended the steps leading to the platform, and ranged them selves in close rank behind the king's seat, presenting a most brilliant display of crosses, embroidery, and glittering . uniforms. fhe spectators had, however, scarcely time to admire the coup-d'cril, when an usher announced " The King," and simultaneously 'fie whole assembly rose to receive him. His Majesty had scarcely commenced ascending the steps when a cry of " Vice le Roi !" arose from all sides. His Majesty stopped a 'second to acknowledge the warm reception given him, and when he reached the platform had again to salute the Peers and Depu ties several times, the acclamations being over and over again repeated. At last silence was restored, and his Majesty took his seat, being supported on the right by the Duke de Nemours and the Prince de ' Joinville, in the uniform of general officers ; and on the left by the Duke d'Aumale and the Duke de Montpensier. His Majesty wore the uniform of a colonel of the national guard, and appeared, we re joice to say, in excellent health. The king having graciously signified to the Chambers to be seated, read in a very distinct and deliberate manner the speech which we gave yester for mention being made of this matter in the King's Speech. The termination of the same paragraph, speaking of aid, was, however, greeted with cheers. In the reference to the Duke de Montpensier's mar riage, the King's voice seem-11 to us at first to slightly falter, but it became firm and assured as he terminated the sentence. Some cries of "bravo!" were first heard, which were followed afterwards by acclama tions. The phrase which speaks of Cracow was also cheered, though not so loudly as the preceding ones. The rest of the speech, not calling for any particular demonstration, was listened to in silence, and at the close of the whole, loud acclamations again rose. Such peers and deputies as had been nominated since the last short session of the Chambers were then sworn in by M. Duchitel and M. Martin (du Nord), after which the latter minister announced, in the usual form, that the session was opened. The I King and the Princes then withdrew, amidst repeated I cries of " Vive le Roi !" The Queen and the rest of the royal party left their seats at the same moment, and were greeted in just as affectionate and respectful a manner as had marked their entrance. A salvo of artillery gave notice that the ceremony had terminated, and the royal cortege returned to the Tuileries in the same order as had been adopted on its coming. Loud cheers burst forth along the line of troops and National Guards as the King passed by, and on every point the utmost order reigned. The weather was fine the whole day, being frosty, but dry and seasonable. M. Martin (au Nord), Nlinister of Justice and Public Worship, having suffered from an attack of paralysis, was to leave Paris on Tuesday for Italy. During his absence his duties were to be discharged by M. Dumont, Nlinister of Public Works. On Sunday at the meeting of the deputies in the Ball of Conferences, it was said that the government had received the answer of the three northern powers to the protestation against the confiscation of Cracow. This answer is, it seems, extremely brief, and, report says, impertinent ; being expressed in precisely the same terms to both France and England. The three powers in fact say that they are astonished at receiving a protestation from France and England in an affair in which they can have no concern! The reported dissent of MM. Dufaure and Billault from M. Thiers, on the ground on which the ministry is to be opposed, caused the attendance of these members at the conference on Sunday to be regarded with much interest. We have been assured that they de clared frankly that on the Spanish question their opinions did not differ materially from those of the Cabinet, and it is expected that M. Dufaure will address the chamber to this effect, and be supported by M. Billault. More than 300 deputies attended in the Salle des Conferences on Sunday, among whom were M. Guizot, Duehatel, and the other ministers. A curious instance of the cautious spirit observable in the proceedings of the court, as regards the Mont pensier marriage, has just been presented. Two operas were composed, one for the Opera Comique, and the other for the Aeadanie de Muzaque, by MM. Louis Lurine and Guenot. The representation of these works has been forbidden, but munificent presents of porcelain china have been sent by the king to the authors. The announcement states that their performance has been hinderedpar des motifs de haute conrensnee. The address of the Chamber of Deputies, in reply to the royal speech, will, it is expected, be written by M. Vitet or M. Ili , bert. The committee for the address in the Chamber of Peers will be named on Tuesday, and it is known that the Duke de Broglie will be its reporter. The King of the Belgians was still at the Tuileries, and it was said would not leave it before the end of the month. A demonstration against the Free-trade Association took place on the 6th, at St. Etienne, the Birming ham of France, where a large meeting took place in the great hall of the Ili:del-de-Ville. The result of the deliberations was a resolution to the following effect; The manufacturers of St. Etienne, and of the department de la Loire, energetically oppose the doctrines of free trade. They are of the opinion that the absolute application of the doctrines of free trade would be the immediate ruin of French industry. They entreat the government to resist such ten dencies, and when it may seem that • favourable moment has arrived to realise a norm in the customs, they adjure it beforehand, to do so only with prudence and care, and after having heard in public discussion the opinion of all parties concerned. The scarcity of food, which is daily becoming more evident in France, has elicited the following from the National : " It results from the information we gather from the Bulletin des Hanes et Macchia, that we are in a truly critical state, and that importations from abroad are urgently necessary to supply our deficiency. The ques tion, therefore, is--what have we to expect from abroad? Our letters from the Black Sea, we are bound to say, make us great promises. They announce the existence of more than 2,000,000 hectolitres of corn at Odessa, and that there are nearly equal quantities at Constantinople and Alexandria ; but though this may insure a provi sion for the amth, the rest of France has not the less reason to be uneasy. Fer example what do they write from America. Out of 331,000 barrels of flour that were in New York on December 25th, 100,000 had been sold for exportation, and were only waiting fur ships ; 50,000 were in the hands of the bakers, and therefore there remained no more than 200,000 for the daily wants at home, and the demands from foreign countries during the winter months. Let it be observed, besides, that the rise in price is already felt, and that there is already complaint of the small quantity of corn in the store-houses. Can we rely at leant, and above all, upon America to supply sufficient for the consumption of Europe? Alas! no, and we have already found a redoutable competitor in the English. The rise of price in Great Britain has assumed an alarming proportion. At Marseilles it has had an influence upon our market, for even at the present time the English overbid us for American flour. Till lately, on the contrary, France ruled the price of her neighbours. But this state of things is changed. Thus the barrel of 88 kilogrammes sold at Havre for 42f. to 43f., finds purchasers in London at 46f. to 49f. The same rise h.a extended to all the markets of the Baltic, and the demands from London have caused a rise in price exceeding our own. Consequently, wherever we find ourselves outbid we mast either yield, and suffer the corn of which we are in need to be carried off by the English, or, beaten by necessity, we must submit to the exorbitant in crease which their own distresses impose upon our neigh bours. We neither wish to exaggerate nor extenuate cir cumstances. We state them without comment, leaving the public to draw its own conclusions. We will, however, add but one word. ' Yesterday the intention of the Bank of France to lessen the term of the bills to be disc:muted by it was talked of. This measure, which we have this morning characterised, will appear, if possible, still more Inoppor tune when the peculiar state of our markets is considered. It is evident, in fact, that France will be constrained, in order to procure sufficient for her own food, to make large purchases from abroad. We cannot estimate at less than 200,000,000 f. the sum we must pay for corn from America, the Black Sea, and the Levant. Thus 200,000,000 f: must be again teat out of the country. Transactions in business, already cramped, will become more and more difficult. Is this, then, the moment, we again ask, that the bank ought to choose to render the terms it imposes upon trade more and more severe? And the government what has it done? What will it decide upon in order to avert the evil with which we are threatened ? How does it manifest its foresight? By what acts does it reveal this H. Cuoin Gridaine has pub lished two circulars to demonstrate that the public in quietude, are without foundation, and that we have snore corn than we can consume. Nevertheless the price abroad continues to rise, and it is impossible to foretell to what height it will go. Never mind, take courage ! we shall have I a third and even a fourth, circular if need be. It is to this, , in every great crisis, that is limited the.pert of a constitutional ministry, saving the interposition of the procureurs du roi and the gendarmes, if by chance some ill-intentioned people, having bat little taste for the erasing of the minister, venture to complain too loudly of dying from hunger. of the town being closed, the attack was postponed until the arrival of the forces expected from Boulle and Romont. ,It was, however, thought that the success of the insurgents in their operations against the town, would mainly depend on the co-operation of the citizens sympathising with them. The Council of State of Berne, assembled three times during the day of the 7th, and issued a procla mation warning the people of the canton against mingling in the internal affairs of the adjacent canton. The Vorort had not yet taken any proceeding in the matter, the Bernese authorities acting only in their cantonal character. _ . . . . Of the several foreign embassies which had been established at Berne, only two those of Russia and Austria had decided on moving to Zurich. The Madrid mails of the sth were received in Paris on Monday. The moderate and reasonable spirit displayed in the opening speeches of the leaders of the Progressistas and especially of M. ldendizahal, was attended with the best effect, and the ministry themselves did not dissemble the satisfaction which it gave them. The Chamber continued to be engaged in the verification of powers. The sixth being Twelfth-day, or le jour des rois, as it is called, neither of the Chambers would sit. A committee was appointed to offer the usual felicitations to the Queen. The candidates for the presidency of the Chamber of Deputies were MM. Bravo Murillo, Castro y Oxosco, San Miguel, and Pacheco. El Heralelo intimates that Centro y Orosco, the ministerial candidate, will be elected. It was un derstood that government t ad resolved to send a pass port to M. Ohmage to enable him to return to France, that being his own request, The Opposition journals, both in Madrid and Paris, do not, however, admit that such a proceeding will exonerate the Cabinet of Madrid from a grave re sponsibility for their proceedings against this deputy. The law which renders the person of an elected representative inviolable is definite and clear. Against M. Olozaga no process had been undertaken or even commenced, and it was Congress alone that could have decided against his right to sit. Sending him back to France, therefore, though less hsrsh than detaining him at Pampeluna, is regarded as not less at variance with the spirit of the law. El Herald() announces the discontinuance of the state of siege of Galicia. CONSTANTINOPLE, Esc. 27. Khosref Pasha has been dismissed from his post of Grand Seraskier, and Said Pasha has been appointed his successor. Said Pasha was a colleague of Iteschid Pasha when Reschid was formerly in power. Though a strict Mussulman, he is devoted to Reschid and to the reform party. The removal of Khosref has given great satisfaction to the friends of the Grand One of the most unflinching enemies of reform has thus been driven from the Turkish cabinet. It is a fact which also plainly indicates that Reschid's influ ence is in the ascendant, for Khosref was his constant opponent not only in the Divan, but also at the Seraglio, where he used the hold which his age and long services gave him on the mind of the Sultan to intrigue for the overthrow of the Vizier. Experience had made Reschid Pasha prudent. He felt that in the eyes of Europe he had placed his reputation at stake in accepting the high office to which the Sultan had called him ; he saw that he was sur rounded, not by colleagues, but by rivals ; that he stood alone, with no other support than the public opinion of Europe; and that one single hasty step would cause not only his own overthrow but that of the very small party of which he is the chief. His caution has stood him in better need than the enthu siastic ardour of a young reformer which he showed on a former occasion. He is now firmly established at the head of the Turkish government, so that we may confidently look forward for the execution of those ameliorations of which the Ottoman empire ..„ stands so much in need. Hatti-sheriffs will no longer be published for no other object than to deceive Europe, and serve us a cloak for newer and more extensive abuses. Roads and schools will be estab lished throughout the country. The civilization existing at the capital will be extended to the pro vinces. The people, dissimilar in race and language, who form the population of the empire, will be united, and a spirit of common patriotism engendered; and Turkey will be thus finally received into the great family of the civilized nations of Europe. ITALY.—A letter from Rome, in the Aix-la-C7sa pale Gazette of the Bth, states that the provincial assembly of the Commune of Rome had just held a meeting at which, on the proposition of Prince Borghese, it was resolved unani mously to present a petition to the Pope, praying him to grant to the city of Rome a communal constitution, as pro mised by Gregory XVI., in 1834, to all the towce of the Papal Slates. _ _ GERMANY.—BERLIN, JANUARY 6. A plan, which has long been in contemplation, and which very nearly affects the interests of the Zollverein, is now again brought forward, and it is said will be taken into serious consideration, namely, the appointment of consuls of the Zoilverein in the principal commercial cities. The still more important proposal to appoint ambassadors of the Zolleerein is said to have met with objections, and for the present only consuls will be nominated. JAN. 7.—The following article on the commercial relations with Cracow, is published in !Jerkier Ncschriehten. The Importance of the commercial relations of Cracow to Prussia, appears in its true light, after the incor poration of that republic has become a fact no more to be revoked, while at the same time the pro tection of this commerce appears to meet with greater difficulties, and Austria will now scarcely be induced to make the concessions which it perhaps would bare done, if their interests bad been prominently brought forward in the ne gotiations at the time when it was required to obtain the went of Prussia to this political set. Not only Silesia, Berlin, and Stettin are prejudiced by the incorporation of Cracow in the Austrian line of custom-houses, but even from the Rhine several complaints are said to have been received against this injury to Prussian commerce. VIENNA, JAN. I.—The few copies of the London Punch, by extraordinary permission, were yesterday offi cially demanded back. The number in question contains a rather rude caricature of the sovereigns of Russia, Prussia, and Austria. The wits of Vienna say, on the eve of Sylvestre Punch was very unexpectedlyprohibited. COLOGNE, DEC. 31.—The Cologne Gazette gives • report of the distress which has prevailed here for some months, in consequence of the high price of provisions, and which has much increased during the severe cold of the last few days. The superintendent of the poor in this city, distributed this week thirty-six thousand tickets for bread at lower prices, beside. 26,500 lbs. of bread gratis per week, and 7,000 portions of soup every day. Besides this there is an association for the relief of the temporary distress, which distributes clothing, blankets, &c. BADEN.—The Cologne Gazette of the 11th inst.. states that the authorities of Bretten, a town on the Middle Rhine, have forbidden tho Jews, under severe penalties, to. carry on any business on Sundays and holidays before thw termination of aftemoonsenice, or even to remove out of their: The distarbences prevailing in Friburg and the surrounding districts of Switzerland, have, according to recent advices, assumed a more serious character. Letters received in Paris, dated from Berne on the night of the 7th, brought accounts of an extensive in surrection in Friburg, and an approaching collision between the liberal and ultramontane parties. After the movement which was manifested on the Ist Jan., the council of state of Friburg imposed conditions of submission on the insurgent districts, which exas perated still more the spirit of resistance. Two bat talions of militia were raised to occupy the insur gent districts, which, however, could onty be reached by crossing a part of the territory of the Canton de Vaud for which a previous authorization was ne cessary. Meanwhile • conference of the insergent chiefs was held on the night, between sth and 6th, when it was agreed that the following night the population hostile to the Jesuits, especially those of the districts of Boulle, Morat, and Romont, should take up arms and march against the capital to over turn the government charge with violating the con stitution. In consequence, of this the population of Morat, seizing two pi eces of artillery, marched • the number of eight hundred respective localities before even i ng.

ELBERFELD, JAN. 6.--A public meeting of tr time rous inhabitants of this city was held this day, its CC der to devise a general plan for encouraging emigration to A. aeries. The transfer of numerous troops from S' argard and Lower Pomerania to West Pr nen has gives rs se to the not altogether unfounded report that perfect " ore me" does not " reign" on the Polish frontiers. A letter from Lemberg of the 29th of December gives the account of a scandalous scene which occurred at the university of that city. A young nobleraa a, son of one of the high functionaries, who arrived late at 'the lecture, on entering the lecture-room, and whilst p . rooseeiing to the seat reserved for him, made use of some mime ous expressions against the Polish nation, and finished by • aclaiming aloud ' that Poland would soon be entertains ted. The other students replied by cries of " Put him or,t," which became so loud that the professor found himself in the necessity of , breaking off the lecture, and clearing the roorna. On the following day the professor accompanied the year ig noble , man into the lecture-room, and endeavoured to effect a re conciliation between him and his comrades ; bal, the latter replied that if he did not immediately retire, they would not be answerable fur bloodshed.
