OCT. 31. THE ROYAL FAMILY ABROAD. Wallis the next month the English world will miss familiar names in the Court Newsman's re cord. Our Royal Family, like so many families in this country, will be disi,ersed far and wide, and parted, as the poet says, " by mount, and stream, " and sea." On Monday morning the Galatea is under orders to sail from Plymouth on a voyage of not less than eighteen months' dura tion. Before her gallant Captain lets go his anchor again in English waters he will have circumnavigated the globe. Wherever his ship touches, he will be saluted with British cheers, and receive the willing homage of thousands of British hands and hearts. And when he comes Lack home, it will be with all his faculties and Lis energies braced and fortified by duty and experience, and with an " enlarged capacity to •' preside over the noblest service in the world." Burely the lot of an English Prince commanding an English frigate is not the least enviable of Lumen destinhe ! fiocn after the departure of his sailor brother, the Prince of WALES and his PRINCESS will leave England on a long winter's tour. According to the programme of their journey, which him been sande public, it appears that they will make Den saark their first destination, crossing the Channel to Calais, Vichy, Paris, and travelling through Germany to the north. After a short stay in the NO. THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY' 109ENING, OCTOB family circle at Copenhawn, *hey will take a long flight southwards to Ames" on a visit to Kills( OEOIIOE, and from At Iwo !le proi•eed to Ania Minor, and thence to Egypt. "doing " thoNilo under tho can , of no less eminent a guide than fir SAM UM. BAKER, to whose fame the Nile has boon an alma loafer. It seems probable enough that the royal tourists will in the course of their Eastern wander ings be the guests of the SULTAN at Constanti nople and of the Vicauoir of EGYPT at Cairo. One of the roomiest and fastest of our frigates, the Ariadne, is to be fitted out as a yacht for thispar ticulsr service in the Mediterranean, and a very fine and comfortable floating palace, may bo made of this brilliant and comfortable cruiser. The PRINCESS will thus escape the severity of the English winter, and the PRINCE will map the in clemency of the English elections. On their return they will find a new Parliament and a new adminis tration working smoothly together, and all things (including even the British Constitution and the English Church) much the same as before. It will bo a source of the sincerest satis faction to the country, if the health and the strength of the Pancesss derive last ing benefit from the change of scene and of climate. Nor is it an unimportant considera tion that these tours of our Royal Family, whether in the cause of public service, or in the pursuitof health and pleasure, are, in a substantial and not a merely sentimental sense, not without advantage to the national influence and interests. In a word, they have a oertain though indefinable representative value beyond the reach of diplomacy, and in some sort lend a crowning grace to the world wide prestige of the national flag, without compromising or committing the policy of the State. . • OUR VONTENPOR#BIES. ern" DAY.) Times discusses Naseisb fltishoe. • Whut waisted, it says, is settled order, equal 'AIWA, and the deve lopment of internal commerce. The abolition of erfreigN if it can be accomplished, will be a step in the right direc tion, and the equalisation of customs duties will be an equal assistance to national progrem. But the foreigner whose financial aid is solicited, will look most of all to the spirit of the national government. Apropos of Mr. Bright's speech at Birmingham last night, the Tulle, remarks that the rate-paying arrange mints of the Reform Bill are unsatisfactory, and that it will be difficult to maintain them. The theory that the paymentof rates is a test of fitness for the suffrage is in itself fanciful and pedantic enough, bat even 11 we admit the theory there seems no valid rowan for insisting on the personality of the payment. - _ If, says the Deil — y N..., the University of Ozford wishes to pass a vote of madams pare and sample in Mr. Disraeli, she cannot do better than return Mr. Mowbray. For a constitosecy which is traditioaally supposed to elect its mar bets for life, it isay be an advantage to were a commutative who will cope for ward with a new political crud every time IN asks a renewal of its conadanos. The womb of the Marquis of Salisbury, on education, is commented upon very tavoarably by the IWt, Daily News. Telsgrepla, and other papas. The Stessehri denies that there is at present any ground for the emetics that • settlement of the Alabama ques tion has her arrived at. The Ster tab Aline who bought Mr. Doelton's con cession at 689,0001. catered into the bargain with their eyes open ? were they made fully aware by the seller that the actual contractors' cost of the work was 100,00 W. leer than the sum named? However, should Mr. Mutton be unable to answer the question, the worst that could be said against him would be that he has done as others did, in falling into • very vicious practice at a time when commercial morality was under • cloud. OREIG NTNIV S. (THIEINDALT.) PRINCE NAPOLEON'S UISSIOIt TO ITALY._ A Florence letter of October 23 in the Journal de Brurelles makes the following revelations con cerning Prince Napoloon'a recent mission to Italy, which, if true, are extremely curious and impor tant : You know that Prince Napoleon arrived at Turin quite unexpectedly. His interview with the King wag long kept a secret His Majerty was out shooting when a mes senger told him that his son-in-law had come and wanted toms him immediately. The local authorities ware ordered not to telegraph the Prince's arrival to Flamm, and the ministers did not know of it till later, whoa the King chose to tell them. It is said that General Inniarmors was favoured with mare intelligence of the interview. Prince Napoleon's commtmications to his father-in-law may be divided into three beads. These was, first, a friendly warning ; bad, a ressonatranos ; and 3rd, • sort of ulti matum. The imperial cabinet knows that the Italian demagogues are only waiting for the signal to raise the standard of revolt sad prolamin a federative republic, which form of government would be ipso feels imposed upon the Italian people should the oonspirators suc ceed. It appears that the details Webbed of this con spiracy were so circumstaatial that the King was greatly struck by the danger which impends over the house of Savoy, and convinced that it is high time to provide for the safety of himself and his children. It is not by con spiring with Preside and Roans against France and Freech policy that the house at Savoy Gan hope to avert its fall. Any such treason could only hasten its ruin, for France would then have only to consult her own interests. The imperial govern ment is perfectly aware of the interchange of ideas which took place between Italy and Freida at the various inter views of last summer, and the projects, plans, and oombi. =nova discussed in the view of eveatualities. France can well understand, and is disposed to tolerate that Italy should keep up good relations with Prussia and Russia; the moral weakness of Italy, the disastrous state of her finauoes, the organic defects in the organisation of her army, explain and excuse this attitude. But if unified Italy, forgetful of her origin, and carried away by an inor dinate desire to drive the Head of the Church out of Rome, should league itself with the enemies of France, and turn against France those arms which she owes to her patron age, she would do more than be guilty of an ungrateful action, she would do a foolish one which would draw down upon her chastisement without delay. The only thing therefore, for the King's government to do was to give up the pursuit as • vain dream, and break up that demago gical organisation which he had hitherto encouraged rather than tolerated. Either the Italian government could do this or it could not. If it could not then it was no govern ment at all, the revolution already consummated in principle would establish itself in fact, and HA dynasty would be lost. But if it was able to put down the revolution and declined to do so, then it would place itself in a state of antagonism with France, and France, then knowing what she had to trust to, would consider what course her interest and duty dictated. The impression produced by Prince Napoleon's conversation was immense; it has had the effect of upsetting all pre existing projects, and the revolution can no longer reckon upon the complicity of the King. If it means to do auy thing it must act promptly, but canucit be expected to succeed without decisive support. What will be resolved at Berlin and St. Petersburg P MR. ADDICIII,SY'S OPTIMISM. TUE Right Honourable C. B. ADDERLEY is not a radiant speaker, but he appears to have been making an optimistic speech at a dinner given by the Mayor of Longton. It seems there never was a dominant class in this country. Also, that na tional education in England is not behind na tional education in any other country in Europe. About America Mr. Annzet.EY appears to have said nothing. But his great point was that govern ment by party was essential to the development of free institutions, and he said it was impossible to tell to which of the two great parties, the party of change and the party of conservatism, the coun try was most indebted. This may be all very well, but what sort of government by party is that in which Mr. ADDERLEY'S friends, on the obstructive aide of the House, steal the policy or a large part of the policy of the party of change, and yet per sist in calling themselves Conservative This is the ideal of statesmanship which Mr. DISRAELI cherishes in secret, and no human being can tell how far ho means to try and carry it out on any public question whatever. That being so, for a Conser vative member to praise government by party, in the sense of honest conflict, would pass for a stroke of humour, if Ma. ADDERLEY were a man given to joking. But he is an almost mournfully serious politician, and perhaps it is not surprising that a gentleman, who (if he is correctly repre sensed) has persuaded himself, out of the history• of England, that there never was such a thing as serfdom in the country, may also have persuaded himself, out of Hansard for 1866-8, that his leader's strokes of genius last session were fair illustrations of the principle of governing by part y. t - HOW TO ABUSE. TUE Rev. JAMES KELLY, incumbent of St. George's, Liverpool, is not content with inform ing Mr. GLADSTONE that he is a robber, but he accuses ham of hypocrisy and apostasy, and expresses his hope " that the 20,000 " pulpits of England will ring against the " man who would have us turn away our face " from God as a nation, i.r., to live without God in " the world." This abuse of an opponent appears in the Ilvek newspaper, and in the same journal we find a correspondent saying that Mr. CitansroNE is " fairly entitled to be looked up to as the " leader and champion of the Popish hierarchy in " the British empire," and that a Roman Catholic, a few years since, left the sum of 20,0001. " for " promoting the spread of Romish doctrines and " dogmas in England," under the control of two trustees, one of whom was Mr. GLAnsroxE. In another letter, that gentleman is politely told he does not believe a word of his own arguments, that his hypocrisy is " unspeakable," and that when he said recently that the Church had miserab!y failed as regards the mass of Roman Catholics in Ireland Le " must have known that every word " in that sentence was part and parcel of a lie." A liar, a hypocrite, an apostate, a robber ! here is Billingsgate enough, one would think, to satisfy even the readers of the Rock. If not, they have but to turn to a leading article of the same date and they will be told that Mr. GLADSTONE is a reckless rhetorician, an unscrupulous politician, a political conjuror of many tricks, a successful imi tator of the black arts of the cattle fish, a men dacious libeller of the truth of history, a trader in politics, and an unprincipled place-hunter! The vocabulary of abuse is familiar enough to onmilms conductors and cabmen ; and the verbal energy with which occasionally they belabour one another is suggestive of bad beer and worse spirits. There is some excuse for the coarse language of unedu cated men, but the vulgarity of persons who claim to be well bred and well educated is altogether intolerable. Abuse is an unmanly weapon, and they who use it forget the lesson taught them by a poor shepherd ut the " Winter's Tale," to b e , gentle if they are gentlemen. A MAYOR'S ELOQUENCE. A NEWLY appointed mayor of Saint Saturnin (Vauduse) delivered himself of a speech the other day, the peroration of which was as follows : " Vive l' Empereter ! " Yee, gentlemen, Vivo 1' " EMPEREIIR, Vive NAPOLEON 111., that other " CAssa on the battle-Held, that other Louis who " with a flash of his eye engenders BILLAULTS " BOUNERS about his person, on the summit of " that pyramid whose vast and profound base " rests upon eighty-nine departments ably ad " ministered by BOILITB and SAmtEnuoussz n' " AUDEVILLLEN." It is necessary to explain that these names are those of the mayor's immediate administrative superiors, the prefect and sub prefect of Vaucluse. LETTERS from Pau say that M. MARFOIU has humbly tendered his resignation as intendento of Queen IsmiELLA's household and recommended her MAJESTY to roplaeo him by another Spanish, grandee. It is said that as soon as Queen ISABELLA Comes to Paris sho will send her son, the Prince of the ASTURIAS, to study at the Lytke Bonaparte. " Preblytcr " mks if it would not Lw posilible to make Canterbury, instead of Addington, the residence of the new Archbishop. THE WEEKLY PRESS. The Saturday Renew devotes one article to a review of the career of the late Archbishop of Canterbury, and another to speculation upon the new appointment. Of Dr. Longley himself our contemporary observes that it is enough to say that a more popular archbishop never sot on the metropolitan throne of England ; and this with a ispularity founded upon no unworthy arts, and scarcely recommended by the ordinary gifts of popularity. As a writer, preacher, and speaker, the late primate has left no mark on the church. His fame will live on the recollec tion of his manners, his goodness, and his skill in unob trusive, yet nit unvigorous, administration. He represented the best characteristics of the living church by exem plifying them. Ile war only a High Churchman in the rams way and the same sense that the in t -Ilea, if it at all recognises the traditions of the thumb, must lean to the high school ; and in those matters in which he encountered differences, or even came into collision, with that portion of the intellect of the English church which discards tradition, it is impossible to deny that he represented the generally diffused and largest sentiments of the great majority of English churchmen. With regard to the second branch of the subject the Saturday Rersew says the precise direction which Mr. Disraeli's thoughts will really take could hardly be foretold without a very exhaustive analysis of motives; but our contemporary will not be surprised if on this occasion the premier shows himself superior to electioneering oonrideratioas, in which cur he will cer. tainly be induced to make a striking rather than a com mon place appointment. The Spectator thinks it is impossible not to blend regrets for the archbishop who is gone with something of anxiety for the archbishop who i• to come. For its own part our contemporary would see with sincere pain and disapproval a continuation of the old precedent which regards tibiae for this post as consisting irr a mild and colourless catho licity of benignity that rests upon no strong basis of intli dual character. The grenadier describes the late Archbishop of Canter bury as having been an amiable, but weak and vacillating man, who reigned without ruling in Lambeth. The only two questions on which he did succeed in coming to a con clusion, and acting upon it, were that of the Bishop of Natal, and that of the political severance of the church in Ireland from the church of England—in both of which he was clearly in the wrong. Re was simply the highest in cumbent in the spleudid roll of church preferment, de corous, kind, charitable, inoffensive in his daily walk and conversation; politically and polemically a cypher. The London R, rim takes it for granted that within a few months Mr. Gladstone will be Prime Minister of England. Referring to the right bon. gentleman's con nexion with the whig party, our contemporary maintains that he has hardly a single feeling or opinion in commou with the official caste of his party, except so far as they, as formerly whigs, accept, with him, as formerly a tory, the doctrines of the radicals, till now deemed, except in a few rare instances, unable and unfit to guide the course of public affairs. The thorough individuality of Mr. Gladatone's position is a most encouraging and valuable fact, and ought at this moment to be firmly insist .d upon by all holders of advanced opinions. Sir Richard Mayne has retired, receiving in acknow ledgment of hie long and valuable service to the state a baronetcy and a pension equivalent to full pay. ffir Walter Crofton has been appointed Chief Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, but will in addition, exercise through out England the general control over the police vested in her Majesty's government." That, says the Speteter, is the kind of announcement which, if the ministry possessed any administrative nerve or vigour, would be published before parliameut bad met, and it would be followed up by three legblative proposals, the first authorising the steady police surveillance of all released convicts; the second making serious assaults felonies, and fixing a minimum of punishment ; the third, establishing a special succession duty on all real property in great cities, to be applied in aid of the police-rate. " The Emperor's Map" is the subject of an article in the kouturthv Berkey. If (says our contempo rary) the French Emperor, by colouring Austria a pale green on paper and Bavaria a delicate mauve, is able to convince himself for half an hour that the battle of Sadowa has had no material bearing on the balance of power in Europe, no one will grudge him the fleeting amusement be may have derived from the construction of a map. The air with which he produces it is in some degree that of an imperial Mark Tapley, whose business it is to be jolly under difficulties; but provided he really means to say that the more he looks at his present French frontier the more he likes it, the nows is joyful news indeed. The want of common sense, however, is a characteristic of all these imperial maps. The Empe ror's reconstructions of Europe and America are invariably redolent all over of midnight oil. He is for ever imagining that he can alter the universe by recolouring an atlas, and that Providence has intended the world to group itself so uto satisfy the symmetry of a Frenchman's eye. But nobody can flatter himself that such • publication adds seriously to the chances of European peace. The quarterly return of the Registrar-General shows that during the three months ending Sept. 30 there Were 266 , 199 births, and 166,726 deaths in the United Kingdom. The recorded natural increase of population during the quarter was therefore 89,471, and the native emigrants were 40,672. Both births and deaths in Eng land were above the average number; but the marriages, which are given for the June quarter only, were fewer. The average price of wheat was 69e. ld., to which it tall from 71s. 10d. in the previous three months. The mean temperature throughout the quarter was 639, and on the 22nd of July the thermometer in the shade rose to 964—the highest temperature ever recorded at Greenwich. The mean summer fall of rain is 767 tons to an acre of land ; but in the last summer the deficiency was 252 tons an acre. Intending exhibitors at the ensuing Christmas show of the Smithfield Club may need to be reminded that Monday, November 2, is the last day on which the secre tary can receive entries from them. We (llardenere Chronicle) hour front Win dsor that the nee of acorns for cattle has not been eaten led with good results, several of the Herefords having boon indiaposed after partaking of them. In the neighbourhood of Watford several cases of ilium have arisen from the same cause. Lord Ebury had tea heifers, some of which died seriously ill together. They had been feeding greedily upon acorns. THE DECLARATION OF BARON VON BEUST. The New Free Press of Vienna, which first pub lished the remarkable declaration made by Baron Benet to the commission on military affairs, again reverts to the subject and says : The principal point in the statement of Baron Beust is that be does not regard a conflict between Prussia and Prance as doubtful, or as an event that can be avoided, and that it is in prospect of that event that he re quires Austria to be fully armed. According to the language of the minister Austria must be armed in order to make her neutrality respected, and also to be able to repel other powers which may be disposed to interfere. Baron von Beust haa not stated who these powers are, but he seems to hint at Russia, and the Danubian Principalities, and perhaps also Italy and the South German States. It is probable that he anticipates the first movement will take place in the East, for he said that the Hungarian landwehr might be first called into action. -1868. OUR PARIS LETTER. WPM OUR OWN PARIS, FIUDLY EVENING. Although the Bourse, supported by the Bank of France and the great companies which operate upon the strength of M. Magne's " counsels," re fusc to be frightened by the Bt. Petersburg de spatch, the semi-official prints take issue upon it with much smartness. The I'airic confines itself to asking what can be the meaning of this apple of discord thrown down in the midst of a pacific situation ; it will, however, wait for the full text before saying more. But the war journal, the Pap—the journal of the much-breakfasting and much-decorated Camagnaoe—speaks as follows: In the few lines of the St. Petersburg journal there is an opinion sad an hypothcaia. The general opinion com mon, it would appear, to ail Europe is that a collision between Prussia and France is inevitable. The proba bility must be very great to assume, as it does in the political world of Oennany and Russia, the form of oar tainty. Our opinion on this subject is well known [viz. that there must be war). As to the hypothesis which SIMMS that if France were victorious she would cross the Rhine, we repudiate it emphatically. France requires but two things, which, lightly considered, are one—her security and her dignity. France has nothing to envy, nothing to seek, nothing to desire kronor the Rhine. Consequently we hold the hypo thesis gratuitous, and altogether absurd that France dreams of conquests on the other side of the river. This testimony of the Cassagnaos to the mode rate designs of France—this certificate that she wants nothing more than to take from Prussia and other neighbouring powers the Rhine frontier, and will afterwards keep contentedly on her own aide of the river will be appreciated as it deserves. Apropos, however, even these moderate aspira tions travel a long way out of the map. M. Gueroult, deputy for Paris, writes in the Opinion Nationale that ho agrees with most of the reasoning in the commentary on the now map. It is true, " although the government says so," that France bus greater scope for alliantics than before Sadowa There are freer governments at Berlin, VlOllll4 and Florence, and in that fact would consist our true strtngth and the most certain guaranLe of European peace, if we only had a policy; if our government knew what it wants and what it believe+ ; if it did not pass from one idea to another between sunrise and sun set ; if it did not talk about patnoti, anguish when it was about to publish a map proving that our situation was never better, and if it did not one day ask for compensation from Prussia, and the next argue that we had no need of any. The government, after haring often appeared to think dif ferently, now speaks as we do. But we are not sure that it yet thinks what it says, because its acts are incwisistent with its wonls—it professes to be re-assured, but arms as if it were not. The Bourse was extremely firm. Rento closed at 70fr. 70c. for cash, and 70fr. 621 c. for account (the highest prices of the month) with a 1-18 , t of 20c. andlian rose 4.7ic. THE REVOLUTION IN SPAIN. MADRID, O. 28. The 'NV14411 . 011, the journal which yesterday pronounced in favour of a democratic republic, this morning resumes its strictures upon the mani festo of the Provisional Government, which it main tains has entirely exceeded its functions in endea vouring to influence the people of Spain in favour of a constitutional monarchy. The government, according to the writer of this article, did not in herit, and could not inherit, anything from Queen Isabella. It was the creature of the revolution, which was itself an entirely democratic and re publican movement ; and therefore—at least this appears to me to be his conclusion—it has no right to act in any but a democratic and republican sense. Ido not pretend to form a very decided opinion upon the effect which these arguments may have upon the minds of the Spanish people. Probably to those who have already adopted republican sentiments, and to them only, will they appear entirely convincing. But I must say that the writer seems to me not to have stated quite fairly or accurately the position of the Provisional Government. It is by uo means necessary to con tend Out it is in any degree the heir of the govern ment of the late Queen. The less it inherits from that corrupt and tyrannical administration, the more completely it breaks with all its old tradi tions and practices, the better it will be for Spain. It would, indeed, be impossible to dispute, even if it were desirable to do so, that the Provisional Government is, in fact, the offspring of the revo lution, and that its duty is to complete and secure the results of that movement. But when the writer in the Discussion attributes to the revo lution an entirely democratic and republican cha racter, he assumes that which, according to my un derstanding of the movement which ended in the dethronement of Queen Isabella, it would be im possible for him to prove. So far was the revolu tion from being exclusively the work of the demo cratic or republican parties, that had those sec tions been alone engaged in it they would have bad no chance of succeeding, and Spain would have still groaned under the degrading yoke of Marfori, Father Claret, and Co. The revolution was accomplished by the union of all sections of the liberal party, the most numerous and, I believe, the most influential being the Progres istaa and the members of the Liberal Union, neither of which sections have as far as I ant aware ever given their approval to or espsissi: eased any desire for a republican form of government. Certainly the men who were most native is brine ing about the revolution, the men who led its armies in the field, or commanded the ships which rendered such valuable assistance at sea, are none of them republicans, and never professed that they were fighting for a re . public. Serrano, Prim, and Topete always con fined their hostility to the dynasty of the Bour bons, and never extended it to the institution of royalty itself. Their sentiments upon this point were well known when the Central Junta c - witted to Serrano the task of forming a Pro visional Government, and when that body and almost all the Juntas throughout the country afterwards expressed their eontidenee in the men whom he had associated with him in the perform arcs of this task. If the Provisional Government is the creature of the revolution it is the creature of the revolution us represented by the Junta, and as that body was well acquainted with the mo narchical opinions of its members when they were appointed, the entertainment of those opinions cannot now well be alleged as an offence against the revolution. The government may have done wrong in indicating tee the people the course which they consider best for the interests of Spain, but if they have erred the proof of their error must rest upon other grounds than those urged by the writer in the Piseassieo. For my own part, 1 can hardly see that it was unwise or impertinent for a ministry—even a provisional ministry—in times so critical as these to intimate to the uutiou its opinion as to the best form of government for it to adopt. To attempt to en force these opinions by the exercise of administra tive influence or of military authority, would indeed be a direct breach of the condition upon which the ministers assumed that the future institutions of the country should be left to the free ',Lehr° of the people; but the same ob jection dues not apply to their euforeement by plain and candid urgiu t. lf, as seems to be the general opinion of those who are best acquainted with the conditiou of Spain and the capacity of her people fur the nduuuislyetieem of their own affairs, a con stitutional monarchy is the form of goy's• sot whieli is best applicable to the present etuaditiuu of a ff airs, it would be a pity that the attention of the nation should be dietructed by the pursuit of impossible republics. There le work enough still A PICTURE OF EUROPE. The France contains an article on the state of Europe, which says : _ _ It ;said that "Roll is paved with good intentions." It may be said that " Europe is paved with pacific inten tions." Never were there so many reassuring declarations in the mouths of statesmen, but it must be acknowledged, on the other hand, that never have there been so many preparations for war by the departments for war. People speak peace and they arm to the teeth. Europe is like a dismal forest, which nobody dares to enter without re volvers, swords, and daggers, to protect himself from some unseen enemy.
