WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 12. • multitude Ways SoLoewe declared that "in the mis— er counsellors there is safety," be could badly have contemplated such a case as that of bewildered tenant f arm ers, to whom a hundred recommendations are offered simultaneo usl y b y as many different landlords 'Tie true, indeed, that Mr. DISRAELI adopts the lite ral interpretationof the pro thin bouts that inthe part which he leads (backwards), there are as many min as men. It is, moreover, speciali grafia, an honest party ; so every man gives north what is in his heart to utter. Wheace there arises a most satoundieg conflict ard coefusion of sounds and spe cifics, to ail of which every British and Irish agricul- turist is bound diligently to gtve heed and whet:, h e has formed his ownopinton, basis then exi el etea to fall into line and take close order. After all, however, this unabridged "liberty of pro. phecying " is not without its use. Etch of the prophets, be he never so false, lets out a scrap of on intentional truth; and each provokes from some one wiser than himself a teepees/ or a rebuke which is generally still more instructive. Cant and hypocrisy are thus exposed, and the victim classes whom the landlords have so long been fleecing, and whom now they Lein weak fool, are kept upon their guard. In Devonshire a great stir is made, and the over-tented occupiers are told that if they . will but pay another year's war price tribute and sign a long petition to the Queen, a free trade parliament and ministry will be dismis sed, and that they . will be secured once more 60e. a quarter for their wheat. Whereupon Lord FORTZSCOR writes a quiet businas-like Letter to his tenantry, promising to help with the price of extra labour all who will zealously set about im proving their lands, advising those who will not thus attempt to meet the force of oompetition to accept of liberal compensation for surrendering their farms, but admonishing all that they would only be blind fol lowers of the blind if they spent th eir days or thoughts in looking for legiaLtive protection, which was gone never to teturo. This is something like common sense. Lord Foareseuz does not e s. He He re lief to the farmers out of other people's pot ets offers to pay it out of his own. And through life he bas always been known to be a man of his word, so that what he promises we know he mans to do. At the Cirenoest-r meeting, in like manner, the collision of sentiment brought out not merely the imitative Feclisen of Lord VILLIeRS, and the Jere miads of the miserable MCLLISCes, but a blant, hearty, and matter-of-fact speech from the Rev. Mr. Caters, who in his capacity of Chairman of the Union Board of Guardians, told his audience pretty plainly that he would be no party to the system of extirpating lab .urers from their humble homes and driving them into the workhouse •, and, as a farmer, that he had by the use of more labour this year made more of his farm than he did last, when prices were tigher ; and finally, as a citizen, that he did not think it good for tither himself er those who heard him to be occopieil with schemes of union against the existing law cf free industry, but that it they would improve their own condition is landholders, and keep the poor-rates down, they would, instead of spending too much money on experimental procease', like artificial manures, engage more labourers, which he had found by practical experience would enable them to raise two crops on the same ground, instead of one. Identical in spirit is the advice contained in the speech delivered at the late nteetihg of the Agricul tural Society of Ireland by Mr. NAPelt. A better, kinder, or more improving landlord does not exist. Few men have evinced moreanxiety for the diffusion of industrial knowledge among the people of his adopted country than Mr. NAPER has done. Yet what does he s ay? In effect this—that high farming, and the application of large capital to the cultivation of the oil, is not to be expected in Ireland; that the tenantry three have no other capital than their labour ; that they can oely to rescued from beggary, and the proprietary clam from bankruptcy, by the application of the spare labour of the country to its imperfectly tilled surface. Nor does Mr. Nat ett stand alone in his opinion. In the county of Cork an enterprise has been undertaken on a considerable scale, by a gentleman long con nected with oilier branches of active and usetul em ployment. Unseated by free-trade, Mr. Dann ts, well known as a higaly-snoressful railway contractor, has taken large farms in the neighbourhood of Fermoy for the purpose of growing flax on an extensive scale, and supply ng mills for cleaning and preparing it for exportation. There is probably no product of the soil in these latitudes which gives so much employ ment, in each at tge of its culture and application, as flax; and to introduce it in a part of the king dom where it has long been neglected,m to do more for the real benefit of the peasantry and the rate-payers than all the babbling committees and associations in favour of dear food will ever be able to accomplish for their own narrow and selfish selves. Turning our glance once more to this side of the channel, what do we hear from the lips of an intelli gent and out-sp Asa tenant-farmer in Leicestershire? At a recent nu etinu of the agricultural association of that county, Mr. lilLul is reported to have said, that — It was a common saying at such meetings as these that landlords and e. n tots •' rowed in the same boat." But, in his opinion, the property of the tenants was on deck, and was being swept away with every wave that broke over the vessel, while the property of the landlords was securely stowed in **hold. (Greet appiause.) What would they think of officers on hood a ship who refused to sacrifice any 4 their own property, obits that of their crew was being thrown seaboard) That qualms the position of the landlords and tenants at the plesest time, and if they wished to save the vessel the SAMS meat make MOO swine,' as well as the (ew—the landlords must naillee a portion of their rents. (Cheers ) Ile did not wish to be disrespeedul to the lauded I gentry ; he believed the interns of the owners and occu piers tdeatksl, and he theimht they ought to work together, and as allow one to stadia everything and the other nothing. (Renewed cheers.) Look at the operation of the upset of the c.rn laws The labourers of L imetershire never removed so .ash bread, meat, beer, and clothing for thole labour as at the mast time. There was so need ive maudlin sympathy about the lab mar in this county. The labourer had not suffered a penny by the repeal of the can laws. So that gleams of light ate breaking in upon the agricultural mind from different quarters, and the plain duties or landlordism towards tenants and la bourers are beginning at last to be better understood. Protection would be a capital diversion in favour of the old system of extirpation and extortion, if land lordism could only effect it. But the attempt is already felt to be a hopeless one; aid the blind tena city with which the subordinate agitators cling to the forlorn hope, after the shrill trumpet of recall has been sounded by order of their wiser captain, can only tend to their speedy and complete undoing. POOR Mr. SIDNET HULBERT! O e would think hid rubbed a church, or fired at the Queas cm lotion-hill. His proposal fur a suhseription to distressed nsedlswomen to enegrsie has raised if hornets, in the ships of peoteciunist econo- rho all attack him as fiercely as it they had interests" in these put nreillewomend reduced to poverty may be the protection- ' are still rich in that great elo politisal eapital—grievance. It is all that liticiins have left to trade on. Aud they do' their grievances so fondly, that whwiver, SIDNET HERBERT, would rob tht-ni of nne inishing distress, is trested like a robber a penfold. When one thinks how msgoAun have waxed fat and great on well managed glievaeces, it is nut amazing to find them 'et) here. Nor is one rurpreed to find an '.ILL in DIMALLI, or a TOM STEFLE in Mr. we fortseen that Mr. HERBERT wou:d been attacked by this band of English seded. In the prospectus, however, which appears in our edvertising columns to-day, we find no allusion to capital or competition, and, we are glad to add, no attempt at refuting the factious fudge of the protec tionists. Tao statistics of the difference between the mile and female population of the country and of the metropolis are . stated, and they are certainly such as to warrant the truly humane and moral efforts which the associated gentlemen have determined to make. In such an adventurous race as that of English men there can be no doubt that the wear and tear of male life in voyage and venture is infinitely greater than that of female. The first step of one who finds him or herself sinking into the destitute or " uneasy" class is, if youth permits, to hie to the great towns. From thence at another crisis the male escapes by some one of the outlets of adventure. The female rests, and too often rote. The very idea of 28,500 women, under 20 years of age, leading a quasi independent life in th's city, earning a few pence a day by work, and incurring all the direst temptations to eke out the insufficiency by vice, is one of the most ft arful pictures of our time. We should like, however, to see the statistics carried farther, and to learn how many of these were inde pendent of parental sway. Meantime, we wish every success to the scheme of female emigration, although we must repeat what we said before that however it may alleviate, it will not atop the eviL It is singular, that whilst fur the con fection of articles of common use, such as shoes, large recourse has been hat to the cheap-salaried population of country towns, nothing of the kind has taken place with respect to the making of apparel by female hands, which could with so mach advantage be distributed, and, as it were, decentralised. Goveroment has much in its power in this respect, as fir as its contracts are concerned. We have no doubt that the composition of the population of great towns must be a subject of serious consideration. Upon all other governments save our own, it presses in a political peint of view. With as, we may be thankful, it presses merely in a question of morals and humanity. FRANCE. PARIS, TretsuaT, 6.30 P.M. Though to-day was fixed for the debate on the ex cise, there was no greater than usu alal in the Assembly. The debate wil l le af some drae time, but its result is certain ; there will be a majority --small, indeed—in its favour, bat sufficient. To this certainly may be attributed the apathy of the As sembly, although the names of Monta t embert , Thier s, Berryer, Leon - Faucher, and Bt hoist d'Arcy, as speak ers, might have been in themselves an incentive, but the hour fixed in the ordre sles four had, as usual, long passed before the debate began. Several members made their appearance, bearing petitions against the re-establishment of the tax, and their number, coming as they did in succession, caused some hilarity in the Assembly. It was destined however that the debate should not then commence, for M. Baune ascended the tribune to ask leave to put questions to the minister of war on the subject of his circular to the gendarmerie. Curious to relate, the Assembly granted leave to put the questions at once, and M. Biome accordingly put his questions, and accused the minister of assimilating the officers of gendarmerie to policemen. M. d'Haut pool replied first of all that what he had done was legal, and he acoepted the responsibility of it. He had made we in his circular only of the expansions which were inserted in the re:rotations of the gendar merie itself. He did not know who it was that had betrayed his duty as an officer by giving a copy of a 000fidential circular; but public opinion would decide between a minister fulfilling his 'awful du y and the opposition which profits by a breech of confidence. The act complained of, continued 11. clllautpoul, was necessary, and he had written the circular because it was his duty to take all the measures in his power to counteract the machinations of a party that was con tinually conspiring and endeavouring to deceive people by the moat hateful mean/. Atter this very unsatisfactory explanation General Cavaignac rose and said, that he blamed in every sense the circular of the minister of war. It imposed on the gendarmerie a system of spying into the acts of public functionaries, which was improper as it was illegal. There were other means, he contended, that were consistent with the hierarchy of administration to watch over the conduct of public functionaries. M. Charms supported General Cavaignac, and cha racterised the circular as tending to anarchy in the administration. M. d'Hautponl replied very tartly to M. Charres, that when he wanted advice he should certainly not ask it from him. If public opinion had been consulted the government of which he formed a part would have cashiered all the functionaries appointed by the provisional government. (Agitation.) They had not done so, but they bad determined to find out those wto did not do their duty, or who were in con spiracy. The close of the debate having been called tor, the following ordre d e jour nest irl was put : "The Legislative Assembly, considering that the cir cular of the minister of war is contrary to morality and to the law, disapproves of it, and passes to the order of the day. The simple order of the day had a majority over this motion, the numbers being 371 t against 220. M. 0. Barret was at the Assembly to-day for the first time since he had left office. The council of state has inserted into the law on education a clause by which the yrefet will have the power to dismiss the teachers is primary schools. This is in anticipation of the law which will render there teachers immovable. The banquet offered by the prefect of the Seine to ' the President of the Republic took pease yesterday, at the Hotel-de-Ville. Covers were hid for 200 en the grand salon, formerly called the S nu Trilise, and which was magnificently decorated for the occa pioa. M. Berger, the prefect, in proposing the toast, " f o the President of the Republic, to the elect of the 10th December," said : This diy last ear Frame had to adopt one of three resolu tions which exercise ra peat an influence on the aestinies of a nation, and are at the same time the proof of liberty. Francs, free and mistress of her cctions, assembled. and, Irma Ler forty thousand communes arose inutimeroole groups of Moans. The result was that a name written at the same boar by six millions of elector', unanimous without their kn Arledge, was afterwards hailed with immense ,miamatim. don after the whole country gave a fresh sate:ton to this great act by forming the Assembly, the dignitaries of which nom somata the first magistrate of the trouble. The anion of these two peat power's, founded on respect to the emanation, can alone maintain the calm which me city of Paris now calm, and which causal its prosperity. As mous at tne municip 1 body.

Why prs ace charity by a lemon on political economy ? Why bring forward his emigration scheme, which stood ao well on of some merely h u mane grounds, by making it the sequence doubtful theory ? Why not have imitated Lord ASHLEY, that great proficient in matters of this kind ? The man for charity is certainly Lord ASHLEY. He has a vocation for it, he has studied it, and is master: of the benevolent science. In order to his having fiand wielding power for t his g reat purpose, he sacrices the aim of the politician, and renders his statesinanehip su b se rvient to his benevolen ce. Both politics and political y Lord ASHLEY keeps wisely in the background. econom And wh en be wants to arry the public by storm, he pushes for ward whole battllions of statis tics, whilst he adventures no dogmas. lie appeals to Ike world's humanity, and bewares pretending to in struct the said world, which prefers having ito feel ings excited to seeing its wisdom called in question. Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT, in his letter, did the very contrary of al l this. Whilst appealing to the humane, he challenged the argumentative; and he reproached society with tendencies and h ar d-h e artednesees which, as a politician, he himself had promoted and defended. Free trade, as a great principle, is necessarily regardless of indi vidual hardship and of class suffering. Had its law be n always obterved, we should indeed have none of the sufferings which necessarily attend transition. But all human progress has somehow or other dis tutted certain extitenoes. And free trade is no more exempt than Christianity, or printing, or steam, from putting in jeopardy the earnings and the rile ence of those who lived by priccipks and trades, .1 which these great facts and truths inevitably super- efforts tojestify that =potation sad to enure the safety of the country. The President of the Republic replied as follows: Chentiesses,—l Steak the municipal body for having in vited ens to the Hotel de Ville, and for havice to-day distri buted bountiful assistance on the poor. To relieve mis fortune was la my eyes the best way to celebrate the 10th of December. I shall not here recapitulate what we have done daring the last year, but the only thing of which I sus proud is of heeling, thanks to the men who have surrounded sad who sal suresuid me, maintained legality intact, and mesq without collision. The year which is now about 1 W ce amen ce will, him, be still more fertile in happy re- I wink more particularly if, as the prefect ot the Seine has Nit said, all the great pow en remain closely uni , ed. By gnat powers, I mean those elected by the people—the As sembly and the President. Yes, 1 have faith in their fruitiul Union; we shall march forward instead of eemaioing mo tionless ; for what gives irresistible force even to the most humble mental is to have before him a greatobject to attain, sad behind him a greet cause to d fend. For us, this cause h that of entire civilisation. It is the cause of that enlight ened mad sacred liberty, which every day finds itself more sad oho threatened by the azoseeee whim protons it. It is the swam m the labouring eters, whose welfare is Moresesaly compounieso by those smelt's theories which, by meeting the meet brutal passions, and the most legitimate fess, excite hooped against even the idea of improvement. It is the ease of repreeentativegovernment which loses its salutary ma* by acrimony of language, and the delays which arise la the adoption of the most useful mei sures. It is the muse atlas grandeur and the independence of France, for, it the Moss wnich wet ppose were to triumph, they would destroy cur finances, our army, our credit, and our prepondene co, and form us to declare war against the whole of Europe. Never, therefore, has • cause been mre just, more patriotic, and more sacred thee ours. As to the obl , 'ct which we have to attain, it is as Roble as the cause. It is not the pitiful ,opy of a pas of any kind that we have to make, but we have to fiiin on all me of Nett and iotelligehes to Innsolidas somethiog which is greater than a cherter, more durable than a dynasty—the eternal principles of religiow and merilify, and the rules of a wholesome policy. The Sty of Paris, so intelligent, and w'llch does not wish to remen.ber revolutionary agitations except to app' ass them, will understand a line of conduct which, iu following the narrow path traced out by the constitution, permits the view of a vast horizon of hope and of security. It has been often said that when honour s spoken of, it finds an echo in France. Let us hope that when re con is spoken of, it will also find an echo in the minds and in the hearts of men de voted beore all things to their country. I propose a toast— " To the City of Paris, and to the lluoicipal Body." Loud applause followed the President's speech. The banquet was succeeded by a ball, and the salons were promptly filled by the crowd of persons inci ed. It is I Impotaible to give an idea of the magnificence of this vast locale. The new " Salle des Fetes," which Is approached by an admirable double stairtwse. was opened for the first time on this occasion. Three 4egissatras were arranged for the dancers, in this sae, in the Brand Salle, and in the principal anion of the apartments of the preftt. A brilliant crowd cir culated throughout every part of this vast building, decorated with equal elegance and goad taste. Up- i wards of 6,000 invitations had been issied, and the rooms were at one time so full that it was difficult to move. The President of the Republic, attended by the prefect and the deputation of the municipal coun cil, promensdtd the rooms until a la te hour, con versing affably with several parties. Louis Lucien Bonaparte, brother of the Prince Canino , and t he Cadi of ozenstantine, is his national costume, were amongst the guests. Refreshments in abundance were handed about during the whole evening, and the dancing was continued until an early hour in the morning. M. Leon Faucher and M. Buffet had an interview with the President of the Republic yesterday. It is reported that the former will go as ambassador to England, and the latter to Vtcnna. None of the Italian or Spanish mails due here to day have come in yet. BOURSE. II For itooount. PARIS, Dec. 11. Foe Motley. Opening Highest. Lowest.

We have Cape journals to Oct 20, only one day later than our previous advices, Rime the departure of which nothing of importance had occurred. STATE OF VAN DIEMEN'S LAND. The convicts rejec , ed at the Cape are to be sent to Von D:emen's Land. What kind of a rec ptiou they arc likely to meet at this their second place of desti nation, may be conjectured from the following re marks of one of our most talented colonial journals, the Lanneesion Examiner ; Vin Diemen's Land is one of the finest colonies on the face of the earth. Its soil is productive, its temp. rature is equable, its climate unrivalled. It wants nothing but free inetitusions—ntmplete freedom to manage its own affairs, to become the meet prosperous dept ndency of the crown. It is true we have promise soon promise in reply to reiterated petitions, but tees , are broken promises : violated pledges voluntarily meths./le what the colonists have to contemplate. All is ;meet -Amy, and social disarganixation is the conse quence. Th, present government, as it is celled, is one of the most nose e.us and despicable " shame" ever imposed on s ration it et ogle. From the chief to the lowest subaltern they are the me scion of imperial or local patronage, in every r. elicit ire. ep meible. A council of officials is designated x cutive, sod 0 , -.e composed of placemen and nominees, rt.e latter possess no real power. They may on errs .r !Mary occasions, and by combination, check the vadories or their chairman, but they cannot to vent his extravagance. It is the prerogative of the Co - am .ch in Ii - gland to originate money bills—to vote the supplies, and thus to egulate the governet ; but in temente ell the legislative board can do is m to n offer • fresh estimate in opposition to that of his Excellency; which, whether approved or not, is adopted, and six months before a reply can be received from the Secretary of State on the merits of the two, the money is all sp'nt, and next year's estimate half disbursed. A control on the ex penditure is out of the question. The people must how ever, remain passive, and submit in silence to all the in congruous sent of successful place-hunters. They darn not rise up and vindicate their right to manage their CIAII affairs. Wr-ek and ruin are everywhere visible, but the community are po series': they cannot apply a remedy. Property is depreciated; commerce languishes; inter colonial trade decays; population declines ; the revenue dieniniehee, but nothing can be done. Nur is the prospect cheering. In anxious suspense the public are awaiting intelligence from Britain. Will the bill so oxen promised be brought forward at the ensuing sess;on, or will it be delayed until it is too late to save the country ? Time alone can tell. None indulge the taneusse of c infidenee: it is " peradventure" at best. And associated with this is the convict question. What is to be don , with British culprits ? England will Ent keep them—the Cape will not accept them—Mauritius declines them—S utti Australia repudiates them—Port Pi.itip spurns them—Sydney objects to them—New Zealand detests them. Are there any in Van Diemen's Land who would accept them on any terms? Let such individuals speak out But where are the pee iners of the empire to be sent? Swan Bless' is the only colony that has solicited the iu,pure gift. Their future destination is doubtful, 'Mee the government of this island, contrary to the expressed desires of the public, begged as a boon that four thousand convicts should be sent annually to this island, two-thirds of whose retpulstion alr-edy consist of the same Clair ! It is difficult to des roy a coluey instinct with life, but it is possible ; and if this had been the avowed des gn of our rulers, they cou:d not have selected more effectual means to accomplish the purpose than those they base adopti d. They have defiled the land by an inundation of reeking criminality suffi cient to corrupt and destroy every vestige of virtue and •-•;lisation. NORTH Knorr.—Yesterday a meeting was held in the Gaiideate, Canterbury, for the purpose of considering the propriety of supporting in application to parliam,ut for an ex:cation of the Noitlx Kent 11.eileray from Stroud to Davcr and Deal, the Mayor presided. Mr. 0. Taylor, the engineer of the line produced a plan of the intended railway, which showed that Canterbury, instead of being, as at vested, 82 miles from L inden by railway, would be brought within &l, Diver inceari of nearly 90 to within 72, and Deal now 101 to 72. The plan contemplated a branch to Sheerness, and one to M idstone, and also a line mom Faverst am, ruining through Coilham, by which Ashford and the Weald of Kent would be brought into immediate contiguity with Faver sham and other p .pulaus Ciotti.: s. A series of resolutioNs pledging the meeting to assist in carrying out the proposed railway were adopted, and a committee was nominated for superintending the conduct of the bill through parliament.

We have received the following letters from our correspondents at Berlin and Vienna: BERLIN, DEC 8. In my letter yesterday I mentioned a report which is in circulation resoectiog another Au trian note. This report is now fully confinn.d. In it the Au'.trian government declares that it entertains tears for the public peace of Germany, if the Erfurt parlia ment should really be assembled, and that it is deter mined to interfere to prevent any such disturbance of the peace. The note, then, is not directed against the assembly of the Erfurt parliament, but sgaiust its probable consequences. lam assured that the Prussian answer is worded equally energetically ; some% hat to the effect that Prussia sees in the convocation of the Erfurt par liament not merely no source of fresh troubl• s, but, on the contrary, the best meaLs of pr. serving lastmg tranquillity in Germany ; it declares the fetus of Austria.to be perfectly unfounded, but soppasir g even, what is really improbable, that disturbances should arise, Prussia has already shown that it pow wee the power of restoring peace and order, even at a time when Austria was prevented from rendering it at assistance. The difficulties which have hitherto retarded the institution of the Interim Commission Lave according to the Constitutinn net been entirely removed, end the two Prussian commissioners will leave for Frankfort in the course of the next week. VIENNA, Dec. 4. The Cologne Gazette publishes a telegraphic des. patch from Vienna, dated the 6th, which rays that the minister of war has sent orders, by electric tele graph, to the Alexander regiment of infantry, which is at present at Thee, sienstadt, in Bohemia, to hold itself in readiness to march within twenty-four hours to Saxony. Tne Pope and Tuscany will join the Zollverein of Austria, Modena, and Parma. Dr. Bach remains a member of the cabinet. Ile is at present suffering from a sore throat. The King of Prussia's sanction of the ordinance for convoking the Reichstag at Erfurt has bet n a great shock to the Vienna cabinet, whose attitude on the German question was always assumed on the suppo sition that Frederick William would at the eleventh hour find some means of evading the meanu• which was steadily premed upon him by his ministry and by the constitutional party. This seemed the more probable from the decided preference which the King personally continued to exhibit towards the ultra., headed by M. Gerlach, who have always ridi culed and scorned, and striven to bring to nought, the scheme of the Drei-konigs-bund ; and re pudiated the Reichstag as the means of denational ising Prussia, their real hostiiity to that proposed re presentative body being motived by the ascendancy which the German moderates, arch-enemies of the Stock-Pretrasen,or Gerlach party, would he sure to ac quite in such an assembly. But several circumstances have esmbined latterly, and not least the immense sensa'ion produced by Waldeck's trial, to bring the fanatic party of the liven: kitting into discredit, and to prove to the King that to coofide the government of the country to such hands would be too perilous rt game. After temporising as long as possible, he has been driven to decide between a Reichstag ard a Gsrloch ministry, at a moment when the nation was deeply incensed against the party of the latter. His decision has probably saved his throne; but it has deceived those with whom he was most intimately connected. The extent to which the King of Prussia has pledged himself to the Emperor of Austria can only be matter of conjec ture; but the breaking of the moot solemn engage ment would not have produced mote surprise and indignalon in the court circles at Vienna. Tele graphic orders have been sent to the Bohemian army to hold itself ready for the occupation of S irony, a measure which will throw Merritt stilt further back in Germany, and give her rival a fresh advantaze. It is more than ever matter of conviction with the 0 rmsn party here, that the policy of the Schwarzenberg ministry has given the fieishmg blow to the di c tying supremacy of Austria in Germany ; and that henceforth, unless an entirely opposite system he adopted, that stipremety most pus into the handset Prussia. This is one of the aldee on which the ministers are attacked with greatest bitter ness and violence; and perhaps it is the side from 'etc Court. OSBORNE, Dec. 11.
