When once this sies, however obtained , is taken , t here is very little chases of its being shaken, as there is no - -•sion allowed. The Senate hu nothing to do but itcord its vote. The working of this strange system is, that all power of legislation rests virtually, except on sesmaione of great earAtemeat, in the Caput. The red dest Senate, as it any be sailed, is a mere form.

The most planned and pine rotates of the universities, such men far indium as Mr. MAr me, ham rested their adverts., es tine grounds. This was the view in which they were ia garded by the belt defenders of the resat= the debates in the House of Conantem holds but a secondary position in the argemens tithe supporters of the two universities; the formalise of hake' holds the first. The so ciety at he volversity t its expenu, its deficiency, as aOm et education, are all excused by bringing premWntly forward its one as a nursery for the upper ranks of society. Cock-fighting, boree-recing, and foe hunusg, are defended , be it observed, on precisely the same meson ; they have been called eunntial parts of the meditation ! Now, if the plural standard of the education of the universities were raised, this system would perish. Hundreds of young men, of good families, proceed at present to the universities, who would never dream di entering were the standard placed at all high—were they, in short, obliged to study. The colleges would thereby lose their aristocratical character. The dons would lone numbers of the small links which connect them with themppa world. They would have to con fine their aunties more to the sphere of the univer sities, and lose great 'art of the elevation which is a joint product of their position and of the pre sent system. It would never do to require too much work from the scions of the aristocracy, or they would never become members of the univer sity. This it is which ads as • drag upon the pro gress of Cambridge and Oxford, and which will pre vent them from taking the foremost rank in the advance of soignee. It the oligarchical system could be changed. if the Innate could regain any of Ito anoint right, could it become a deliberative and initiative body, we might hope indeed to see these venerable ins titutions take a piece worthy d their ancient fame : until this is done, we can expect nothing but the retain dos to patchwork legislation. Wooly willingly inserted in the Express of the 19th inst., a letter in praise of the Bishop of LLANDAFT from one ci his clergy.

To-day, however, we inset a letter of a different damp, from the Rev. WILLIAM Cmonnv, one of the Archdeacons of the dims, of Lisodsff; and as it pro fesses to enter into a distailed delinses of Dr. COPLll snows and his aoudad la tide matter, we proceed at 0009 to notice its ocatests,l giving, as his rank de mands, prondenco to the charge against the bishop of Wog & pluralist. Its nos, mays his lordship's defender, that the Bishop of LL9NDAFF is a pluralist ; but his use is a very poor one ; therefore it is necessary to eke out the 1,0001. a year it produces by the revenues of the deanery of fit. Paul, which we observe are stated in a parliamentary paper to be worth upwards of 6,00 a a year though only set down in the " Clergy List "mu 3,000 L In addition to which, another cor reeponient iota= as that Dr. Conastrosx holds the lesesurership of the Cathedral of Llandaff i midi lOW. a year, and a living in his own flumes of the same value! We mans our inability 1 to noun to this reasoning. All that we can admit is, that the Bishop's pluralism is part of a very bad aye- 1 ten whisk was rampant when Dr. COPLISTOIII was' ailed to the spiseopal bench; but which a high sense of duty mid iserality had always condemned; and 1 , which pal& splas in advance of episcopal oom 1 taimeerratai. bms a t ' last forbidden the repetition 1 of, We oast, however, grant that 1,0001. a year lis too little for a Bishop of LLANDATIP (the Arch- 1 bishop of Peale has hardly so much); whilst oer- 'Moly 6,6001. a year are in our judgment a great sisal too much, even though he be also Dean of St treasurer of the Cathedral of Llandaft a n vicar of a parish in that diocese. Nay, at the risk of being called radicals, infidels. or ev en the latest bugbear, ► red republisomes tin will record the opinion that the rate of JAINISM as signed by recent legislation to our bishops is greatly beyond what their position requires, or what th., means and necessities of the church au thorise ; and that a revision of that scale is indispensably mammary. The notion that religion is advanced by the Archbishop of CANTER- Bray having 16,0001. a year, and two pdadiee, or that the see ci Durham cannot be properly governed for leas than 8,0001. a year, garnished by a castle at Bishop Auckland, and au hotel in town, is really on a par with old Clamor ROCE'S standing argument, that perseverance in the Revolutionary War was nsomessay to preserve ourselves front " the gloomy despair Of Wilt tun."

How frequently should we have him resift over meetings to advance edu sides, peseade piety, to relieve suffering. How =traced= vain his superintendence, would the cathedral be. Sash a Dean of St. Paul's we, citizens of Landon, would have been thankful for but such an one the Bishop of LLANDAY7 has not been to as. He has treated his deanery as an ;nonage of his see. At the cost of London he has been charitable and munifi cent at Llandaff. And therefore we repeat that if the union of the deanery and the bishopric in the person of Dr. COPLESTONI has been beneficial to Llandaff, it has been hurtfal to Laudon. It may have given to the principality the substance of a Whop ; but it has left the metropolis with the shadow of a dean. Thus every sentence in praise of Dr. Common the Bishop of LLANDAFF, Involves condemnation of Dr. Corte.srown, the Ik on of St. Paul's. Unless, in deed, it be contended by his clergy that the task im posed by his episcopate of governing them, entirely or to some extent, relieves their diocesan fro m any atten tion to theduties which we hold to attachto the deanery of St. Paul's. And it really is matter of very great practical importance, as it certainly would be a psy chological curiosity, to ascertain what is the Bishop of LLANDAYT'S estimate of the responsibilities he in curs in holding the deanery of Loudon. For art own part we think the toclesiastical commimisases might with great advantage hays bedewed as tlis Bishop of LLANDATT some part of the ussay they have spent in buying and building episcopal pale if only to have released a weak and erring MsaadtYeeerr from the dangerons predicament of smunung duties which he doss not adequately perform. Oar correspondent assures us that the diocese of Llandaff has benefited greatly by the ability to govern it which the deanery of St. Paul's, with its 6,000!. a year, has thus conferred on Dr. COPLESTONE. We hope it is so • bat if be will turn to Mr. J. C. SYMONS' meat Repot on the counties which sew pose the bishops see, he will thole find bow meek his lordship has still to accomplish. For savage barbs risen is the only general term which is at all de scriptive of the detailed accounts there given of the vice, ignorance, brutality, and irreligion which characterise the mining districts of Monmouthshire and of which (for the benefit o f Bisho p and Arch deacon, who seem to have overlooked them) we will take an early opportunity of giving some examples. Far this state cl things the bishop is certainly not primarily answerable. But we cannot discover in the report any evidence of episcopal interference to restrain those evils, or to reconquer the district to civilisation and Christianity. And until we know what DY.COPLESTONE Das done fee this por tion of the dines= we can place little reliance on flaming panegyrics on his general episcopal exertions. So much for the Bishop; now for the Curate. Undoubtedly the Archdeacon of MONYOCTII has added some new heti to his ease; but that dignitary will forgive us far saying that the additions have net much mended the matter. It seems that the nos resident vicar had not, as we (favourably for the bishop) supposed, another living to excuse and justify Dr. 130PLEBTONE'd permission of non-resi dence. It was given because of the want of a parsonage house in the parish. But this =tat equally affected the curate ; for Welsh curates do not, we presume, peewee the habits of their sweaters, the ancient Britain, and live in the hollows of trees. If, then, the want of a parsonage holm was, in the Bishops opinion, a sufficient ground far his authoring/ the incumbent's non-residence, surely it ought to have been quite as much an inducement for his snag to the curate he subetituted a as& elect stipend. It the vicar, with en income of 4 001 . a year, could not reside bemuse be had not a par sonage boas, rent free, how, in the name of humanity, was the carats to live in the parish for 251., 751., or even on the maximum (only to be reached at the ex piration of two years' previous starvation), 801. When the poverty of the seed Llandafi'was painted oat to Dr. Coetssrona's patron, the deanery of St. Paul's, with 5,0001. a year, was added to that preferment. When the curate in question appealed to Dr. Cortarrona to save him from a povmty which was illegal, his vicar received permisene . to dim= so trotibleneme a correspondent. The =trout here is certainly set be favour of the bishop. The Archdeacon of Montour!' places the Bishop's detente very much on the conduct of the vicar wheat first evaded the law as to curates, and tbsa deceived the Bishop as to ;building a parson age house. But in our judgment, this disorderly ecclesiastic's conduct makes against the Bishop; , for it is obvious that no episcopal favour ought to have been shown to an incumbent who could act in such a manic to his diocesan and his parish ; whereas it appears be was allowed to do very much as he pleased. Nor does the Bishop gain mach by the state ment that the curate was at one time unwilling to have his stipend relied ; for that unwidingue= if true, and his future application to be placed in pos ited= cd what the law allowed him, at the most only skews the curate's inconsistency in his conduct to the Bishop, and, if these allegations be well founded, his bad faith in corresponding with us. While what we censured was the bishop's di gn• of his own dais in the matter; and that he did disregard them we or peat, the archdeacon's letter r otwithstanding. The incumbent of the living is admitted to have been non-resident. What, then, are a Bishop's duties in cams of non-residence P Happily for the chum* they are not vague or even discretional ; they are pre cise and meant to be compulsory. For by 1 & 9 Vier., c. 108, sec. 46, it is emoted—(for the benefit cl curates we give the very words of the act) : That is every saes in which any spiritual pin= shall have bow stags the 20th , July ee benolisr ha inetitutsa.b=enia".%:n. = liar sht ath.g' wire hams of any ma art dab raids thins* the blimp alai =Oat far the mats llamas& aster the peweidine et Oh an to serve such bene fice, sock stipend m bassinshar sant mentioned; that Is to say, ma stiponi ihall lit no am be Lie dm SOL pee annum - use low hiss MK per seaum, er them the tilde value, it sack mho shah not sweat te 1001., sup pad& or place where the pepolstion shall amount to VS pesesesi nor leas than Mt per sangem, or than the while wins, II such value shall nal nmenat to 1201., in any parish or plane when the pepulatim shall amount to 600 pumas; we Le thee 1351. per eis, = than the whole Tans, if sash rohn shall not anseem sem tMs UK, in any perish or pine where tho popnlatim shall ookoost to 760 persona ; nor lees than MIL per annual, or them the whets value, if each vow shall not mount to 1601, is soy pen= ow place whore the pepaladist Ball amount to LOCO piess. This surely is strong smash. But the legislature, as if afraid of sweeps! neglect of even the e a tifsg by the 90th" smoke of Wm statute has ma= that au agreements for stipends to curates sentrery to the foolroxi section are to be void. And bishops, Is caseeagreements, are directed to the profits of the benefice to pay the stipenriatesatiet pro vided for by law. These, then, are the duties of a bishop in saes of non-residence. Will it, in the face of such most. meets, be pretended that the Bishop of LLANDAIIT in sanctioning a rate of stipend to the curate of a sea resident benefice, where the population was 600, at' 231. for the first year, 751. for the second year, 801. for the third, fulfilled the duties thus imposed an him by the legislature ? We respect the seal of the Arch deacon of Monarorre for the reputation of his dio cesan, but, as he has impeached our veracity in this matter, we call on him, by the obligatiocs he owes to truth, to answer this inquiry ; to any whether the statute in this case was duly implemented by the Bishop of LIANDAR. Such are the confirmed opinions to which the Archdeacon of MONMOUTH'S letter, and further reflec tion, have conduced ; we cannot expect them to satisfy Dr. Confirm?: es admirers, but of this they may be assured, that it is in the prevalence of buck views only that there is safety or 1 , 1 , c , -si for the church of 'England.

But the ROBERT CHAMBERS has large intellegimi sympdides—he takes Mama in every depasemest a loam inquiry—he feels the importance of odd- vette( the pure reason, and does his utmost to pro- mote intellectual education. There is nothing see tartan shoat him, either in politics or religion, and he has new ban mixed up with party.

We are not sufficiently in the secret of Edinburgh politics to be able to conjecture what are Mr. CHAM BERS'S prospects of success. We have no right and no wish to obtrude our opinion on the electors of Edinburgh.

A report of the Customs has just been published, which exhibits a comparative view of French com merce for the first nine months of the present and the two preceding years. The results of this compa rison show even a more disastrous condition of trade than could have been anticipated. The Assembly to-day will commence the debate on the budget on which the Committee of Finance. has presented its report. The grow amount of the national expenditure for the present year is, in round numbers, about seventy-two millions sterling. The Committee of Finances has laboured assiduously to effect some reduction in this enormous amount, by abolishing unnecessary °aloes, and reducing the sala ries of others; but the utmost that they have been able to attain is a total annual saving of something less than ten millions of francs, or 400,0001. sterling. Letters from Caen announce that M. Onizot will be returned as representative for the department of Cal vados which will take place on the 19th of November. The Assemblle Nationale this morning says, that on his election, of which no doubt is expressed, he will present himself in the Assembly. ITALY. At the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies at Turin, on the 21st, the Minister of the Interior laid before it several diplomatic communications from M. Bastide, Minister of Foreign Affairs in France, to the Sardinian Ambeasador at Paris, on the sub ct of the mediation. In these despatches, M. Badide enters into an engagement, in the name ,of France, to aid is the establishment of the inde pendence of Italy, even by . arms, if the negotiations should fail. The following phrase appears in a despatch, dated August 4 : " At the news of the reverses of the Italian army, so nobly sustained, we felt regret that such a noble national suiceptibility on your part should have prevented yon from calling upon us sooner." The Piedmorstese Garet to of the 24th, quotes ad vices from Rome ot the 17th, mentioning a rumour that the papal ministry intended to concent r a te the army on the Po, and beep it in readiness. Advice@ from Genoa of the 23th inst. say that the Grand Duke of Tuscany has formed a new ministry as billows :—Montanelli, President of the Council and Foreign Affair; Onerrazzi Interior; Mazzoni, Justice; Zcuelli, Public Instru ction. The pro i ramme of the ministry is altogether democratic. Th first condition accepted by the Grand Duke being the convocation of an Italian Constituent Assembly. GERMANY ,RDbiENT OF VIENNA. STATE OF AUSTRIA. As announced in this paper last evening, the people of Vienna, and the imperial general, Wi n di se h g ratz, having mutually refused the terms offered on both sides, the latter insisting on uncondi tional submission, the bombardment of the capital commenced on the morning of the 24th, and lasted all day. Tbe bridges were all of them soon in flames, as well as dm city itself in wo places. Various reports circulated as to the result ; but of this nothing oertain had arrived. The won of Windischritz, in which the state ot mime was declared, was received by the Diet on the 23e* and (as will be seen by the proceedings of that body given below) they declared it lags'. The penclamation was to the following effect: To TIM IMILASITAIITII 07 VIENICL.—Bgag cosaraissioned by the Bmpuer, and entrusted with fall powers _pat aa end to the illegal state of things eziating in Vienna, I mien upon the entire and powerful co•operation of all weil-dia weed inhabitants.

IT becomes every day more probable that we are destined soon to see a Bottartam at the head of affairs in France. A strop hang of devotion towards the hero who raised the sena to the pin nacle of glory, this feeling rendered streager by his misfortium and his fall, pervades large memos of the people. It is a genuoss popular sentiment, sweded in favour of Prises Louis by the poS adventures of Strasburg and Bongs. Ike, however such attempts may have lowered him in the opinion of prudent me, they samethelan tell in his Lamar with the inaltitsda. Bat, even if his persoaal cairns were more strikingly lieu& cient, still the paucity of claims in those opposed to him, the insignias°, or unpopularity of compe titors, renderlde race far the attainment of espress power neither difficult nor dosibtlith As to the Oithasts Wally and its chief, they woe sever, even in the best of day., tan than a pis eller— • something grasped at in the boar of anercey, to prevent worse consequences. The citizens raised Louis Palmer. to the throne in 1830, from neemity rather than choice. It might not have bees difficult kr the Oat larai's to have won those affections which they hid not, sad to have made themselves the dynemy the middle ranks. Instead of this, they became merely the dynasty of the functionary and courtier ekes. Even the Prince de Intro/ILL; with all his spirit ...a high qualities, is overwhelmed by the weight of the obioquy that attaches to his family. The Duke of BORDZACX is borne down by all the unpopularity of Cesium X., which he personally his done nothing to redeem. H. has never shows himself, save as the centre of a mock levee. He has dote nothing, said nothing, and is even repeeted, tee know not with what truth, to have sunk in Susi , dulgence, and to pay more attention to the passers of the table than the hopes of a throne. No other candidates, save these princely ones, ap peal to the broad opinions of the multitude—a bad prognostic for the republic. LAYAITINS, indeed, stood eminent in March last, and had the fairest thence of an to be at once a porn: and a mid dle clam ido l No one could more fully pones the claims and qualities for addressing both. And Lascurrisa thought that both class might be united In interest and asthma, and that he •ht so la knelt en both, flattering the people and free with their leaden, at the same time that he might partly cajole, partly intimidate, and be wholly trusted by, the middle classes and their statesmen. LAMAILTINE failed utterly in that attempt, and ended by missing the confidence of all. CATAIONAC then Oillie, with no political design, at no policy, beyond that of th e soldier, to do his dut. He did it gallantly. But the result of his sincere and open acting was pretty mach the same SO LAYARTINeti hedging between parties ; he won the confidence of neither.

We are sorry to be obliged to admit that the greatest mares of both LAY/ATI/43'3 and CAVAIONAC'S weakness is, what to us meet be their chief merit, their attachment to peace, and the consequent ingloriousness of their foreign policy. This has especially injured CAVAIONAC, not only with the masses, but even with politicians. Although the fa:Must tone which he adopted with regard to Italy, wee rendered imperative - by the state of Paris, and although it was sanctioned by the silent tion of the Assembly, there still remains th i e l) C that the Anglo-French mediation for Italy was, for France at least, vain and humiliating.

The Diet immediately adopted a resolution to the following effect, whioh was sent to the Prince and to Weseenberg, and posted all over Vienna: Coosidering that the re-establishment of order a solely to the legally constituted authorities, and P rt ta re army cannot interfere except at their requisition • caul daring that the Emperor's preclamatios of the 19th spin guarantees the maintenance of all the liberties acquired, sad more particularly the free deliberation of the Dtet ; there- lore the Diet declares as illegal all the measures by which Plaid-Marshal Windischgrits threaten' the state of Iwo and martial law. The Minister Wessenberg and Prise Wis. diechgrits shall be immediately informed of this noolirms by express. In reply to the protest of the Diet, Priam Wis. dim:tigress stated : My full powers do out extend to a negotiation with the Dist, which I recognise only as a constituent assembly. The Mohler Krauss shall be considered a prisoner . The eely legal authority which I recognise in Vienna is the tow must council, and this is subordinate to me. I give the Dist 24 hours to consider of this. The communal council, to whom a thousand copies of the proclamation were sent by Windischgratz, re fused to circulate them. The commandant of the Vienna national guard (the Orsterreichische Zeitung says), took immediate steps to put the city in a state of defence, and even to assume the offensive. We gave yesterday a short statement of what took place in the Diet on the 21st. The following is a full report of the proceedings from that day to the 23rd : In the sitting of this 21st Wino read to the Diet the pro clamation of Messrs. Weldor and Mode (of which wo gave the substance yesterday). Cavalcabo presented an address of loyalty from the electors of Triiban, in Moravia. Scbuselka on the part of the committee of safety said : Count Auen perg, in reply to an order respecting the disarmament of certain national midi in Lining (Unto Enns), has re ferred the Diet to Prince Windirchgtitz, who bat been named commander-in-chief, and who is now his superior. The committee has sent to Prince Windischgrits and ex pects an answer to-morrow. The national mid of Pur kersderf send an address complaining of having been disarmed, and requiring their arms to be returned to them. The same course is adopted in this case as in that of the guards of Liesing. The minister Krauss presents a manifesto from the Emperor (the last published by us). Biencieovskl presents a petition from the city of Tarnow, la Galicia, requesting to be allowed to name a repreontative to the Diet. The committee proposed to refer the petition to the committee on the constitution. Several members pro- posed that the request of the city of Tarnow be immediately complied with; which was adopted. In the sitting of the 22nd, the president Smolka informed the Diet that a letter bad been received from the commis- Moneta of the Central Power at Frankfort, stating that they had gone direct to the court at Olcoutz, in order at ones to enter upon negotiation for a settlement, and calling en all the authesities to exert themselves to the uttermost to preserve peace. The Finance Minister had re ceived a similar letter. Umllutt proposed that a note he written to Glantz to :caution these functionaries not to assume a knowledge of the state of Vienna from the so counts of fugitives, and to request them to examine the espies' in person. On the debate on this question being en- I gaged , Gschnizer proposed that one of the two commissioners Repoli come to Vienna, whilst the other staid at court. The order of the day in opposition to this project was ultimately moved and carried. Schuselka, on the part of the com mittee of safety, gave intelligence of divers kinds. 120 guar Is had arrived from Linz. Intelligence had been re ceived from the ca-minister liombootai, who was residing la Upper Austria. A deputation had been received by the l essamittee Iron the communal council informing them that their deputation to the Emperor had returned, that it bad 1 sot been received in audience, and that Wesson berg had referred them to Windiscbgriitz, who had been owned generalimimo. This was the second time the committee had been informed of this fact, but it bad as yet received no official notification of it. The Emperor's manifesto of the 19th, countersigned by Weescoberg, had been received and read. It bore the imperial seal, bat it bed not come before the Diet officially. end they could not consider it as official. The commit tee desired at first to ask Prince Windiickgraq what were the powers conferred on him, but they had considered it in compatible with the dignity of the Diet to do so • and they had informed the communal council of the lot The committee had not boar idle, but bad deliberated with the Minister of Finance, Krauss, upon the subject, and he had expressed himself completely ignorant as to what power was conferred on Prince Windischgrats. The committee, therefore, now expressed its opinion that it was unconstitutional to confer full powen on the general, as it could hardly be done by one minister apart from the council of ministers, and without the sanc tion of the minister Krause. The committee further have commissioned the ministry to specify what peaceful mea sures have been adopted to prevent disorders, and whether all peaceful regulations have been made such as are racial , cite in a cooatitutional state. Liihner now proposed that the project of law for the protection of the Dist should be do ' bated immediately and sent to the Emperor for his approval, Samna as it was evident that not only the members pre sent, bat those absent from Vienna were in danger. This wee carried. The sitting was thesi adjourned, and resumed at 4, r.o.—Schisselka then spoke in the name of the cora -1 mines of safety, and said: The communal council have l made tha following communication to the committee : Letter from Prises Windischgrats, at Stammersdorf,l to the communal council at Vienna. —. I send to the tom ' =anal council 1,000 copies of my proclamation, as well as 1 1,000 copies of the asanifeeto from the Emperor, for the pub lication of which I make it reeponsible."—[The proclamation l in question will be found above.]—Schuselka : The com munal council immediately came to us, and we have consi dered the subject attentively. The committee has decided, in view of the state of Visas and the steps taken by the Dist in referencia to th e imperial manifesto of the 19th instant, to remain within the limits of legality. It is to be greatly lamented that Austria Ss not, although soon months have elapeed, obtained the guarantees of its freedom ; but we must rest our decision upon general °sedation' principles, beano we have as yet no cormitotise. Bat these very principles are clear as to this, that the state of siege cannot be impended over a city utitraril . In the manifesto of the 19th the Emperor says that the her of all will remain unattached ; the it is nn' desire that the Diet should deliberate freely and undis turbed. This manifesto is eountened by a responsible minister. According to constitut priamples, military means can only be used when those of °oscillation fail, aSli then it is not proper that extreme and fearful snores should be adopted at first. The declaration of the state of siege and martial law are such measures. No peaceful means have been attempted. Besides it is clear that a constittent assembly cannot deliberate freely in a city over which the sword is suspended. Perhaps the general in supreme coat mend has not recedred the Imperial manifesto of the 19th instant. We have deliberated with the minister Krause, and be has sent the manifesto and a message of pesos by a courier to Priam Windisch mat& We further propose the following decree for the adoption of the Diet : Seeing that the continua tion of peace and order, when really endangered only, con- Olitin the ordinary coestitational authorities, and that the military can only be called in on their demand ; seeing that the existing agitation in Vienna is, as previously urged by the Dist and communal council, caused by the presence of large manes of troops ; easing in tine that the imperial words of the 19th inst. have assured the protection of the freedom of each, and especially that of the deliberations of the Dist — the Diet declares the regulations of Prince Windischgrate in putting in vigour the state of miens and martial law illegal. The minister Weissberg and Prince Windirchgrats ahall forthwith be informed of this determination, and the same shall be made known publicly." This proposal was received with acclamations. Lehner proposed that the decision of the Diet should be forwarded to the commisioners of the Emporia: at Olmilta. After a few words from Nadler, Schuselks, and Borrosch, the decision of the committee was put and car ried unanimously, and the Diet adjourned. The debate on the 23rd was chiefly on the subject of the legality or ille g_ality of the proposed amembling of d ays raf of Tyrol. The post from Malicia failing for fiv previouely ? gave rise to a debate and a decision, to the effect that the ministry is responsible for the free communication by post, and must be answerable for its interruption. The remainder of the debate was occupied in discussing the project of a decree for the protection of the Diet. From the Breslau Gazette of the 26th, under date Breslau 26th, four o'clock, p.m.:—The Vienna post hes come in, but without letters or papers. The sole person who came with it me an Englishman, speaking little German. This traveller endeavoured to get into Vienna yesterday evening, but in vain. He heard it bombarded, came away about 8 o'clock, the city being in flames in two places. 6 o'clock, p.m.—Another traveller has arrived from Vienna, whose account is as follows :—He had reached Florisdorf on the Paturday, and found the bridges burned, with merely a few planks laid across to allow messengers to peas. The Viennese occupied one side of the bridges, Windischgrats the other, with cannon. On Monday, the 23rd, there was a strong cannonading on the south side of the city. Some said it was the Hungarians attacking the Croats; others the Viennese making a sortie. At all events Windischgratz in stantly threw a boat-bridge over the river beyond Nnesdorf, and passed the Danube with the greater part of his force. He then sent word to the Viennese ..n. t ‘..-. w 12.... 'to..l.'oard them an the morrow, at tine o'clock, if they did not surrender, On the 24th, st that hour, the bombnrdment began Pom all sides, and some of the shots killed several at Fiorisdort At four &clock the roar of all kinds of amillery w as general and Moment. At five o'clock the Vienne* abandoned their end of the Florisdorf pry, burning all that was left of all the bridge:. In cluding the two railroad ones, and the 4yht of the flame illumined the whole sky. The latest accounts from Vienna are up to seven o'clock it the evening, bet a passenger from Ratibor reports, that the Hungarians bad attacked the Croats, at the earn. time, the Viennese made a sortie. A letter from Cilmtitz mentions that the academia legion of Vienna had made a sortie against the Croats and were ant to pieces, leaving half their number dead. The diplomatic corps had taken refuge in some bomb proof casemate'. Gallicia has convoked its own The following is a letter from a correspondent at Ocr. 19.—The political relations of Austria and Hungary appear to have undergone a favourable change through the revolution which broke out at Vienna on the 6th of October. The Austrians and Hungarians have been united. Jellachich, that notorious imperial general or robber chief, has been deceived in his estimate of the eon. do nanis , prejudices, and terrains of the citizens of Vie nna, l They have risen and sacrificed themselves in the cause of Hammy. Hundreds of free-spirited men have fallen or been disabled. Hungary appreciates the generosity of the deed. The Hungarians have declared for freedom and the discharge of their duty to .heir German brethren, and the result has been a proclemation that they must hasten to the relief of Vienna. The Hungarian army was set in motion ea the 7th of this month, and now awaits on the frontier the commands of the Reich-Tog. The Austrian Reich.. Tag has viewed Jellachich in the light of a rebel, and opposed his machinations. Hungary expected this; and in this expectation the Hungarian Reiths-Tag despatched the sub joined address to that of Vienna. The Vienna Iteiche-Tag —now eonde*g almost exodus vely of democrats—has re calved this Writs with acclamation. They invoked the linguists troops to enter the Austrian territory, sad the straggle against Jellachich appears about to become a emeg bitted smuggle of Austrians and Hungarians. Koesath, the husseah of the Hungarians, whose agitation Yon hitherto besot rather repulsive to me, has now beams is reality the man of his age. In addition to his oratoeleel powers he possesses heroic courage. Kowa* proceeded yesterday to the army encamped in the &notion of Vienna, to examine its position and arrangements. On his return he will resume the presidency of the provisional government. He received unlimited powers in the afternoon sitting of yesterday to enforce whatever measures be should deem necessary without previously consulting the Home of Representatives. It is expected that the first battle between Jellachich and the Hungarians will take place to-morrow before Vienna. We are curious to learn whether he will again fly and again parade himself as the hero of his day in the *gram Gazette. Jellachich is a parvenu and °forwent, who owes his promotion amply to his shameless avowal of the principles of a mer cenary soldier, and the favour of the Archduchees Sophie, whose reputation is none of the best. The Hungarian army consists of 40,000 men, with 1,000 horses and 124 field-pieces. There is favourable news from Raitzisch's camp. The Hun garians keep the upper hand in the Danube provinces. Several generals in the Austrian service have been declared outlaws by the Hungarians ter treasonable practices against their country. Among these are Bechtols, Berger, L. rban, and Simonich, who entered Trans} lvania from 0 Illicit for the purpose of organising an insurrection among the Saxon mal contents. The last named has fled already. Order is in a great measure regstablished in Path and Ofen. The burghers feel their duties as national guards rather irksome, and are likely to become tired ere long of soldiering. But their re. tirement will be amply compensated, inasmuch as the full *Ms of citizenship are to be extended to all denizens of Hiusgary who are willing to fight for its liberties. The address referred to by our correspondent is as follows : To rat CONITITCINT DINS IN VINNNA.—The Hupp rhos nation, engaged in a contest unprecedented in the annals of the world, 'gamut the treachery of a re•actionary esmarilla, and its perjured mercenaries, is penetrated with the warmest gratitude for the heroic ascribe et the adds citizens of Vienna, who have risen so (gaudy to prevent the army of Jellachich being rein forced. The Hungarian nation declares before God and man that it is as anxious for the main'enance of Austrian freedom as of its own, and will consider it a sacred duty to struggle for it. The danger that threatens the frwdom of bolt nations is common. Hungary rejects every . compromise with the cansarilla and is perjured merceoaries, acknow ledges itself the deeply indebted friend of Austria, a true and teaternal ally of the Austrian people, and offers its hand in of tree faith to establish the interests of th on the broadest basis of jostles, equity, and mutual satisfaction. Hungary proclaims its gratitude to the Diet for the energetic measures which hive arrested the march of a reaetionary soldiery to waist the bandit hordes of Jellathich ; but has to inform the Diet, that notwithstanding its measures, Jellachich has re ceived a reinforcement of 13,000 men from Austria, and that Hungary is threatened with an invasion by the military stationed in Galicia. The Hungarian nation invokes the prompt intervention of Austria, and as Hungary declares every Hungarian a traitor who raises a hand against the freedom of Austria, it expects that every Austrian subject who gives the least assistance to the rebel Jellachich, the perjured instrument selected to crush the freedom of Austria and Hungary, shall in like manner be declared a traitor. It is probable that the rebel Jellachich and his robber. bands, pressed by our gal hint troop!, may fell back upon the Austrian territory and threaten Vienna. The Hungarian nation is convinced that, in this event, he would fall by the swords of the Austrian freemen ; but, out of gratitude to Austria and Vienna, it holds itsel f boned to pursue him, and waist the Austrians to subdue him. The representatives of the Hungarian nation have therefore issued orders to pursue ' Jellachich wherever he may turn himself to. At the same time the Hungarian nation protests before God and man that, if its troops pursue the enemy . into Austria, no violation of the Austrian territory is contemplated in the movement, but simply a discharge of the debt of gratitude due to the inhabitants of Vienna. It is hoped that the Diet will meet this sincere declaration with bro therly affection. The Hungarian nation declares that its troops will halt and fall back upon their own territory the moment it is intimated to them that Austria has succeeded in disarming the common enem triumphat their co-operation is no longer required for the of our common free dom. The Hungarian government have iss ued orders that in the event of their army entering Austria, the cost of its maintenance is to be defrayed by themselves, and not the least burden to be imposed on the generous people of Austria. Salutation, respect, and brotherly affection.—B. PaaxNi SIOMOND, YALTFI JANOS, ZABOBAKI ALAJLB. Path, Oet. 10, 1848.

We have received letters from our correspondents at Malta, Athens, and Constantinople, from which we extract the following : MALTA, Oar. 22.—Ider Majesty's steamer Ardent will leave to-day at noon for Tunis and Buena,st to recover cer tain portion' of the wreck of the Avenga said to have been thrown up on that coast. H.M. sloop Harla,uin will also sail to-clay for Messina, thence to Naples, to join the admiral, who is still in the by with his squadron. The sickness amongst the soldiers still continues. The disease is begin ning to puzzle the doctors. The men are now seized with Laing in the stomach, as if they had been poisoned, cks and die great agonies in a few hours. The atta ge nerally take place shortly atter they have eaten er drank. The greatest singularity is, that new but soldiers are attacked ; and this, combined with the fact, that none but soldiers drink the wines and liquor sold at the grog shop*, is a convincing proof that there must be something deleterious in those ',quote. It is a well known fact that the spirits sold in these shops are manufactured in ! the island ; yet the government have taken no steps to have I the liquors =allied, and allow the men to be poisoned with i impunity. A friend of mine, who is a chemist, analysed some brandy, bought at a grog-shop near St. Elmo's tier reeks, and found it to consist et spirits of nitre, oil of vitriol, Chili peppers, saffron, and tenajaponica;with spirits of wine, a mixture, he said, that would kill a man, or drive him mad. With the above exception the island is in perfect health. Business is vwy dail, except in oil. Amman, Oct. 18.—The English, French, and Russian ambassadors addressed a joint note to 24. Coloconnui, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, on the 22nd ult., pointing out to him the necessity of putting a step to the disorders and acts of brigandage which desolate Greece. The quarantine against Malta has been taken off, es the government are now convinced that the report of cholera being in the island is false. Greece is perfectly free from that scourge. The Volcano steamer is still in the Piraeus. CONSTANTINOPLE, OCT. 15.—Vehilab Nerredin Merza, son of the late Shah el Persia, has ascended the throne. lap/atoll Nadir, who attempted the life of M. Mamma at Athens, has arrived here in one of the Ananias Lloyd's steamers, and will shortly be tried for the crime.
