THERE can be little doubt that the congress of abso lutist kings acid minister, who met at &spitz, and who drew up and signed an alliance for driving all constitutionalism out of Germany, which noble task they were to begin by the invasion and subjugation of Hesse, counted for the encores of their scheme on the active co-operation of the powers which signed the London protocoL Prussia, menaced by Russia in Silesis, by France on the Rhine; wbild England, as a signer of the protocol, could not bat lend some degree of at least moral cobra —Preosie, thus menaced by a new Le,,,gue of Cy, could not, it was thought, dare to offer resistance. Prussia, however, has dared. On the approach of the Austrian and Bavarian divisions to the territories of Cassel, P:ussian troops, marching from Coblette on one side, and from Erfurt on the other, have occupied a connected line across the Electorate of CasseL This line, ruining by Herzfeld and Marburg, is that secured to the pas sage of Prweion Invitee by treaty. In fact, one pm titer of the Prussian dominion, being separated from the other by Camel and Hanover tutereenine, this military passage is indisoensable to Prussia. To give it up would be to surrender the military security of the monarchy. A Prussian army has, therefore, occupied this line, with orders to repel by force any Austrian or Bavarian advance. And as this line is considerably to the south of the town of Cassel, there is no possibility of the crack-brained Elector being restored to the despotic power he claims without a battle, which, whatever its results, would, it is well known, shake Germany to its very foundation. We have before explained, and very fully, how completely the question of Schleswig-Hoistein is made subservient to the German question ; and how Denmark is backed by Russia` us and France, not for Denmark's sake, but merely in order to force Prussia to abandon her retempt at German constitutionalism, and at an anti-catholic as well as anti-absolutist union. This is quite plain : when Prussia begs Denmark to treat, Denmark will send negotiators only Us Frankfort: when France threatens an invasion towards the Rhine, she says, it is only in c leo that the Frankfort Diet shall prove weak. Hassle, which ettudders at the ides of a Ger man parliament, but which has no objection to a diet of princes, holds the some language. Therefore, tho whole alliance against Prussia, into which Elg land was wheedled and fright( rl, is neither more nor less than • scheme to drive the princes of Germany, who would remain emancipated, back into the old stupid absolutism. It is like the genius in the "Arabian Nights." The revolution broke the jar in which the genius of Germany was pout up and seed. To make the genius re-enter the jar and be bottled op spin, is what is really sought by all these protocols and menaces, and negotiatioos and arm y C orp.. Our runnels are either the secomplices or the dupes of this scheme. The Ensperue of Re ante is of course at the head of it. He pushes it with all his might. He tea ks to enlace Germany, and tie it up in its old hoods, in order that be may more securely advance his designs upon natee and western Europe. The Times praises the Cz sn for this. It lands his forbearance in not tasking convents, as if the fettering of a great people like the Germans and the placing them in the hands of military do pots, wbo owe to him their crowns, was not a cot lees: as oomph to as ambition could require. The 2intes imps that these machinations of the CZAR are de structive of freedom, but it welcomes them, neverthe less, as securing peace. I'esce, indeed! u if the peace of tyranny, or of bigotry—of the gagged tongue and the fettered limb—were the peace of either the philanthropist or ti .e Christian. There ie but one power that can withstand the impious, the mad designs of Ramie; mad, because they lead to the two dire extremes of deadly tyranny and of frantic revolution. Teat power is Germany. 'These is but one of the old great powers of Europe which has embraced this idea of a reconstructed Germany ; that is, Prussia; and against her, in consequence, terve been combined all the envy, the selfishness, and the tyranny of Europe. We blush to think that E 'g land has lent her name to such a league. The pretext is, that Germany has sown division in the provinces of the King of DENMARK. lint, unfor tunately, these divisions always existed ; and these divisions, existing in the laws, the succeesion, the right, the race, need not have prevented the King of DENMARK from remaining king of the joint country, provided he respected its rights, and promised to govern cocatitutionally and justly. His fault is in not doing so. And he is infinitely more to blame for the civil war and its continuance than either Prussia or Germany. Prussia withdrew from the contest, in ob-dience to the desire of the Europe's powers—Englet d amongst them—which deemed that if the contending _parties is Denmark were left to themselves, the 'life/nee would be soon decidoL Rot the clamour now is, that German recruits are always joining the Holsteio army, whilst not a word Is said of any foreign recruits being made to swell the Danish ranks. Now, how are composed the two armies? The Danish force is 40,000; and of these at least 6,000 are Swedes and Norwegians. It is well kr.own that the junction of the two portions of the Danish army, previous to the battle of Llstedt, might easily have been prevented by Gen. WlttisEN, had not the Swe dish army delayed its retreat, and thus prohibited all attacks on the part of the Holsteiners. The army of the Duchies is 34,000 men ; of these 10,000 are fichleswigers, 20,000 Holsteiners, and not more than 4,000 Germane. If WittteeN, the commander at Rendsburg, be a Prussian, HEGRLIII2t, the commander at Frederichstadt for the Danes, was a Norwegian. If Holstein has received aid from Germany, have not the Danish troops been transported by Russian ves sels, and the same been employed in the transport of ammunition and provisions? The very facts adduced by the Times show bow intense the feeling of the German is for the Hol ateiner and Schleswiger. It is not a feeling that seeks to tear them from Denmark. It would little profit them to adjoin them to Hanover. The desire is merely that they may have their rights and be notop pressed. Every one knows what the Prussian army is. It is but another name for the Prussian population. Every young man, of every rank of life, serves his three years ; at the end of which he quits military life, and receives an old uniform to go home in. These disbanded soldiers, all educated men, many of them possessed of means, do not think fit to give up mili tary life without serving a campaign with their brother Holsteiners. They march round through Hanover, and no power of the Prussian authorities can prevent them. The King of HANOVER is surely a good conservative and absolutist, and he prefers Austria to Prussia. But he cannot prevent his subjects fitting to Holstein and carrying with them even batteries of cannon. The fact is, that in seeking to restore the despotic and vindictive power of the Ring of Dareteaun in the Duchies, without his offering conditions or rmpecting their old rights and laws, the great Powers are engaged in • crusade against, not the interests, but the feelinze, of the North Germans. And in that crusade all the Powers will fail. They breathe nothing but violence, coercion, and invasion. Let them try a little justicJ, a little fairness to one side as well as the other, and they will soon terminate the strife. Russia may not deign, and Austria may not find her interests THE FRPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 29, IMO. to New Turk the mistimes of a simile: feeling in the princdpal localities of the surrounding states. The an y of aoutliseners, when enexplained, in town, is treated as a eireansstanes suffi ciently suspicious to pat the friends of free dent on the alert. Two of them were seen not long_ dime prowling emit ore of the inter:or towns of Ftnnsylvanis. Their purpose was immediately surmised, when each a site of feeling was exhibited towards them, that they deemed it pendent to decamp. Nothing but the New York c ise was wanting to give the coup de grew* to the Fugitive Slave Bill, and to teach the south that, by drawing the string too tight, it will not only gain nothing but loee much. We ad here to what we have already said, that this measure mast be abandoned or greatly modified, for, as it now stands, there is no power in the government to carry it out, though it should back its attempt. to do so by the whole military force at its disposal. Public opinion in the north will soon be, if it is Dot already, unanimous in its oondemnation ; and against public lopinion so organised, government in America is powerless to act. Ws published yesterday a correspondence between the Secretary of the Birkenhead Dock Trustees and the Secretary of the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce, which deserves the attention of our commercial friends. Most people will remember the great parliamentary campaign in 1844 between Liverpool and Birkenhead, which did so much to bring the latter place into fa vourable notice. Birkenhead won the privilege of making her docks, and having last session got rid of Lord CARLISLE and government interference, is rapidly taking the place toe proprietors of her dock works intended she should do, via., that of a cheap and use ful addition to the dock accommodation.of the Mersey. The years of deposition she has passed through, the jobbing of the Woods and Pereira and their creatures, the ruin of hundreds who bad staked their fortunes on her success, have not, it seems, allayed the bitter feeling of her old Liverpool opponents, which has even penetrated into the " Chamber of Commerce" of that distinguished mart of all nations, which now boasts a foreign commerce far exceeding that of London. It seems that in the docks at Liverpool fires aed lights are not allowed, to the great discomfort of the crews and expense to the shipowners. An emigrants' home on the dock quays is also very much wanted, but the municipal wisdom of the town will not admit of the one being used, or the other erected. Sailors may go to the devil their own way on shore, sod emi grants may be plundered and cheated ad libitum by the sharpers that waylay them, in that particularly pious, moral, and well-conduc'ed emporium: the Li verpool Town Council cannot meddle in the matter. The American trade suffers the most, and the well known firm of Baows. SHIPLEY, and Co., applied to the Birkenhead Dock Trustees to know whether an emigrants' home would be erected there, and if fires and lights were to be allowed on board ships in the docks. The answer was in the affirmative ; whereupon the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce applied for copies of the correspondence, had a meeting, and memortalieed the Town Council to grant the demands of the Ame rican trade, in order to prevent its transference to Birkenhead. The secretary of the trustees writes a very temperate letter to Mr. HORSPALL, the Chair man of the Chamber of Commerce, regretting that the Chamber should have treated the Birkenhead Docks as anything but an increased eccommcdatioo to the ter.de of the Mersey and receives for reply—that it is the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce. This is very pitiable. Think of LLOYDS' repudiating any connexion with Southwark, or the corporation levying a toll on London-bridge to prevent trade going to the Borough! One would have thought that a "Chamber of Com merce" would have voted thanks to the Birkenhead Dock trustee', and cheered them on ice the race of com petition, bat the chamber it appears is hermaphrodite, and has two functions—to protect commerce AND the town of Liverpool. We are sorry to see any body of men calling them selves merchants, trying to perpetuate the absurd no tion that the trade of the Mersey is to be confined to the Liverpool side of it. party. M. Deposit de l'Eure was insatioried as the candidate of the republicans for the representation of the Need.

A crowd of persons asse mbled yesterday in the Champ de Mars, to witness the promised tourna ment. But the weather scowled upon the pageant quite as discouragingly as on the occasion of the Eglinton jousts ; but the knights did not exhibit the same mettle, for no champ-on armed at all points appeared, and the tilting was put off till Thursday. The Bourn was much agitated to-day, and a con siderable fall took place in the funds. The tone of General Schramm's order of the day is interpreted es I liadication of division between the new Minister of War and General Changarnier. The displacement of Gen. Newmayer was also spoken of as oertaiu. The Five. closed at 92.10, with a fall of 50e. upon Saturday. the Threes fell 35c.; in the railway share market the only change deserving notice was a declension on the Havre line of 675 upon the last quotation. A geed deal of reliance is placed upon the conferences of Warsaw for the peciflo denouement of the German and Danish questions. M. de Reiset, secretary of the French embassy at the court of Turio, has arrived in Paris with des patches for the government. The municipal elections at Sens are favourable to the cause of order. The editor of the Repubiecail de la Dordogne has been condemned by default to a fine of 500 fr. fee infection of the provision of the press law relative to the signature of articles. This is the first condemna tion of this kind which has been recorded, as verdicts of acquittal have been given in all other cases hitherto. The "National Italian Committee," sitting la London, consisting of Menial, Saffi. and four others, has promulgated a plan for raising a loan of 10,000,000 fr., to be subscribed, one-half in sums of 10O1r. each, and one-half to sums of 25fr. The money is to be depcsited in a London bank, and is to be de voted to the service of the national cense in the "inevitable struggle" which is represented to be coming. Vouchers are to be given to the subscribers as in regular government loans, and the bonds are to , bear an interest of 6 per cent. per annum ; but the cameo of persons who do not wish to be known are to I be kept secret, though a note is to be taken of them, to prove hereafter, if necessary, their sympathy fur the cause. The lest accounts received from the wine-growing departments show the following results: In the south : Landels, Provence,and the banks of the Rhone, ordinary crop; the Gerd, Luriel, and Montpellier, more than one-third more than last year; Mete, average; Per.enas, two-thirds; B een. five-sixths ; Narbonne. the Aude, very bad, scarcely a half; the Rorusilloo, three-fourths. The produce of spirits in the south will, however, equal that of 1849. Toulouse, Galilee, Cabers, Agee, and the banks of the Loire, more than last year. In the Bordelais the quantity is larger than was at first expected, but the quality is in many cases so inferior that it will only be fit for dis tillation. At Armagnac, Saintonge, and Nantes, or dinary quantity. On the banks of the Loire and at Solonge, i.e than last year ; in Champagne, Lorraine, and in Alsace, average quantity, but very b ad quality ; in Bourgogne and the Beaujolais, quantity and quality pretty good.

But 'soh a policy surely - befits such al country u Britain, which, having coma forward as a mediator, ought not to sanction tyranny and ouquat. Tar Fugitive Slave BM, to whith, as a blot of , American legislatioe, we have already drawn the attention of onr readers, bas begun much earlier than we anticipated to develop its reel character and me smeary eessequences. Of the several measures adopted en* the repent session of Congress having a refer- Mee feed se indirect to the subject of slavery, we treated this as the only one which could be regarded es a cionseeskin to the views and exigencies of the oath. Dad wen this, we ventured to predict, would, la its wositiag, tend to promote the designs of the abolitionist, so that, ere long, the south would dis cover that it had virtually capitulated at all points. In this we were not mistaken, and recent events in the city of New York and elsewhere ge to show that, in the Fugitive Slave Bill, the cause of abolitionism is about to recognise a wire active and efficient coad jutor th an in the admission of California as a free state, the settlement of the Texan boundiu7, the erec tion into territories of Utah and New Mexico, oe the abolition of the slave trade in the district of Columbia—or, in fact, than in all these measures pot together, The' e bill bad scarcely passed into a law ere the cupidity of the south ventured, by taking advantage of its provisions. to test the patience and forbearance of the north. The scene of the first unary enacted under the sanction of the measuie was the city of New York, in which it has aroused a feeling not tur bulent but deep, the echoes of which have by this time reverberated throughout the length and breadth of the free north, giving rise, in some minds, to alarm, and awakening in ell the deepest resentment. It appears that a colon/el man of the name of Helmer had been for the list two years a resident of the pity, daring all or a part of which time he had been in the employment of an estimable citizen largely connected with the shipping business of the port. He was a mulatto, or advanced still a degree 'mane to the European. He lived with his wife and children in Williamsburg, one of the suburbs of New York, situated on Long Wand, from which he pro. ended daily to the city to attend to the duties as signed him by his employer. It was whilst landing one morning recently from the ferry boat that he was accosted by an officer of the Federal Courts in the city, and requested to accompany him to the City Hall, where his presence was required as a wit ness in a case about to be opened there. Bus- pecting nothing, he accompanied the officer to the court, where, to his surprise and horror, he was claimed as a runaway slave by two men, who were lying in wait to pounce upon him when fairly entrapped bn . The ooxious character of the mestere, and the utter impossibility of giving a straightforward effect to its provisions in the free stake, are thus forced upon us by the discreditable incidents which marked the very first stage of the very first case instituted under its sanction. The warrant of arrest was a lie, and the subsequent proceedings in the case were in keeping with the unmanly meanness of its in ception. The justific.tion of the subterfuge by which the unhappy wretch was lured into the clutches of his pursuers, is, that had he been openly and regularly arrested at the ferry, his transfer thence to the City Hall might have given rise to some die turbacc. But what does this amount to but a con fession on the part of the New York authorities, that the law cannot, with safety to the publ:c peace, be openly enforced ? Nor can it always be surreptitiously carried out, for blacks, both freemen and runaways, will hereafter be on their guard against heiog en trapped as poor HAMLET was. Nothing, therefore, seems left, compatible with the public peace, but to let its provisions lie in abeyet.ce, seeing that on the very first occasion of their being called into action, it was deemed essential to the cause of public order to resort to a cowardly violation of the forms of law. If such a course was then deemed necesaary, it will be much more so now, when we consider the profound and wide-spread feeling of resentment to which this startling event has given rise. HAMLET was claim° I by the two men who ley in wait for him, within the precincts of the court whose officer was aiding the en in their conspiracy, as the property of a Mrs. MART BROW'', of Baltimore. The charge against him was that ab iut two years ago, without the consent of MART BROWN, he had con veyed his own person, the property of the said MART, not of the state of Maryland into that of New York. The charge was substantiated by the claimant., who purported to act as MART BRowN's spots in the matter, although no proof of their iden tity or authorisation wee either tendered or asked. On this e-idence, HAMLET being unable to rebut it, he was adjudged by the comm asioner a slave, and certificated by him as such, to which certificate the commissioner is entitled by the act to ten dollars, whereas, had he not certificated, he would have been entitled Duly to five. Toe convicted (?) slave was then handed over to the claimants, who immediately made oath that they had reason to believe that a rescue would be attempted, unites the authorities provided them with a force sufficient to enable them to transfer their prey to Baltimore. The slave was thereupon promptly consigned to the custody of the marshal of the district, whose son, as deputy marshal, inducted the discreditable escort. The bare recital of these tae's will suffice to justify all that we said of this measure when we explained its provisions some time ego. The whole proceeding was the work if only two or three boars. Neither HAMLET'S employer, nor his fritod., the abolitionists, nor even his wife or children, were aware of what was transpiring until the unfortunate man was out of the jurisdiction of New York and far on his way to Balti more. The excitement amongst the free coloured population of the city, the resentment of the aboli tionists, the indignation of the employer, and the agony of the wife and children, may be better conceived than described, when the facts of the ease were at length made known to the public. A meeting of the coloured population was immediately held, and resolutions appropriate to the occasion were adopted. The abolitionists were at once astir, to pat their committee of vigilance on a better footing for action. No one knew on what head the covert blow might next tall. No black felt himself safe, for, whether bond or free, what chance would he have spinet such proceedings as characterised the case of the kidnapped HAMLET? It is quite probable that HARLOT was a runaway slave, and, by the laws of Maryland,' the property of MART BROWN; but on the other hand, it is possible that he was not, but a freeman of the state of New York, born there of emancipated parents. Whilst it was not shown that he was not so, neither the time nor the opportunity was given him to prove himself a freeman, if he were so. He was not per mitted to communicate with his friends or with his witnesses, if he had any, nor was he allowed the car solation of the slightest intercourse with those who were nearest and dearest to him. He was literally kidnapped, kidnapped in • court of justice, and by the aid and co-operation of the officers of justice, and all under the sanction and provisions of a law whisk should have been entitled " An Act to enable Moada mere to kidnap negroes and mulattoes in the fine States." We have already alluded to the deep feeling of res sentment which this atrocious cue has sesweed throughout the northern section of the co . So intense was the feeling in New Yurk that a es seriptioa was at once set on foot to purchase the free dom of the captured man, and he has since returned to New York, a num of eight hundred dollars having been paid for his release. Late accounts say that he returned to find his children motherless, his af flicted wife having died in convulsions, on her husband's fate having been communicated to her. The whole pro- °ceding, with all the incidents which marked it, has so concentrated the attention of the whole north upon the odious measure in question, that its speedy repeal may be regarded as a matter of certainty. Thou who voted for it are becoming "marked men in their respective localities, and strong efforts are being roads to err-lade them for the future from all places of emolument or dignity. At Springfield, Massa absesstts, the excitement is intense. The town is nearly in the centre of the state, and it has long been a favourite resort of runaway slaves. On learning HAM LET% fate, many of those now resident in Springfield cod its neighbourhood prepared to fly into Canada ; bat they were advised by the people of the town to remain, on the assurance that they would be protected. The representative of Springfield voted in congress ire the bill, since which time he has been ostracised le his oonatituents. It is sat to a few points that such demonstrations len seedasi. The telegraph continues to announce FRANCE. PARIS. MOND/LT Mower:go . In correction of the Urdu"' version of the last mi nisterial crisis, the Consei.ulioiinel makes the follow- ing statement : Several brigades of the army of Paris are composed of four regiments, the usual command of a general of divieion. Gen. d'Hautpool had formed the design of placing at the bead of these brigades a general of division, each general of brigade penitents his usual maenad. But these generals of divi sions were placed under the ordrn of Gen. Cnasprnier, who continued to reside at the Tuileries. His commend was not impaired in the lout by this measure, and remained quite as c tusiderable as before. This design was tummy Jested by Gen. dliautpoul to the President of the Republic, who re jected it. The projt et, being purelyadmiutttrauve, was never submitted to the council of ministers. The retirement of Gen. d'ileutpoul cLes cot therefore arise from the refusal of his colleagues to join in the scheme mentioned by the Ordre, .111 C• no scheme whatever was debated in council, nor did the thought of such a scheme as that upon which such pre cise details are given, enter into the head of General d'hiautpouL The policy of the President in patching up a peace with the parliamentary majority, and hauling down, one after another, all those signals which have pro duced so much umbrage and irritation, is perhaps traceable to a source which has not been yet indicated or even suepected by those who point to this sudden change of tactics as dictated by necessity and symp tomatic of defeat. In fact, if France is to undertake the part of dragooniog Prussia into an abandonment et her independent policy, and of the aims which she has parent d with en much pertinacity either as regards the Danish or the German question, it is perfectly clear that the house at home must be settled and put in decent order before anything like a firm front can be shown on the Rhine. To-day it has been anntuucerd that M. de Persigny is coming back immediately from Berlin. Rumour adds that in the last interview with Berm Schleinitz, the French envoy demanded his passports. One unmistakeable symptom of the hostile attitude assumed toward' Prussia is the very bitter tone of the press of the Ripka in reference to that power. The note of M. de Radowita, published by the Brpreu, has (Dawn from the Conattationnel on article of extreme insolence against Prussia, and if we are to look upon this organ as the most faithful inter preter of the policy of the President, not a doubt ma remain as to the sentiments of hostility with which the French government is inspired against the great protestant German power. This article seems based on .the monstrous hypothesis that the hundred thousand square miles of German land, and the fifteen millions of Germans standing thereupon, have no title whatever to figure as a part of Germany. or to have a voice in the direction of German affairs. If the object of the conferences of London is to prevent war, cer tainly the tone adopted by the confidential organs of the governments represented at thee' conferences is est in the least in harmony with such ma laterition. For, to spend the vocabulary of mum dmn upon an erect and enlightened people, to mail • gesetantent which worthily represents their tea deades sad needs with accusations of treachery, ire tx, cunning, violence, usurpation, is not the way eetteribute towards a peaceful solution of a knotty emi delicate question. The injurious aid abusive toss assessed by the opponents of the policy of Prussia in the Inglieh press is faithfully reproduced in this ankle Or NM anstitutiorsast, which abounds besides in the grossest misrepresentations. As an instance, I may mention the statement that Prussia set up the per tension to sign the treaty of July 2 for all Germany, sad claimed to have the union considered as the ale mri complete organ of the German confederatioe, amsetions so notoriously at variance with the truth as to need no circumstantial contradiction. It is understood that the message of the President will be, like that of the chief magistrate of the Uuited States, a developed statement of the condition of France in relation to the legislative measures destined Ito occupy the Assembly. No allusion will be made to the prolongation of the President's powers. The Debate declares that to maintain the siestas gm till IBS2 is the only solution possible. The report that General Nenmayer, an officer high in the confidence of General Chaugarnier, was about to be replaced in his command, appears to be'con firmed. But this resolution was taken by the go vernment before the entrance of General Schramm into the cabinet. It in however, added that a more important command is destined for the displaced geared. The most important political fact of the day is the decided adhesion of M. Dupont de.l'Eure to the policy of abstinence front voting adopted by the democratic a copy.

The form in which this resolution is drawn op, containing a skim to have the ratification of the treaty considered as gempleted by and in the name of the German Confederation, renders it the duty of t►e government of Prussia to declare to the government of the King of Denmark its interpretation of this set, and I beg, therefore, you will lay before the Danish Cabinet the following declaration : " His Prussian Majesty's government cannot avoid re ferring to the principle it has repeatedly espreesed as to the legal nullity and invalidity of all the resolutions of the pleni pnientiarin assembled in Frankfort considered as resolutions of the confederation ; and the Prussian government hereby solemnly protests against the act concluded in Frankfort on the 3rd of this m mth being considered a legal resclution of ►n actual plenary Assembly of the Confederation, as such an assembly without the parneipation of Prussia and the other states not represented at Frankfort cannot be formed. "Bat as the government of his Prussian Majesty places the wish for a full and actual peace in this question before all other transideratioos, it does not hesitate to declare that, not wL•hstaadirg the insufficient form of the above act, as con eluded at Frankfort, it regards it as a valid and binding declaration of the will of the several governments there re pr-tented, as to the ratification of the peace of the 2nd of July ; and it there're., considers the *aid peace to have been thereby ntifitd by the governments of Austria, Saxony, Bavaria, Hanover, Wertemberg, the Eleer3rate of Hesse, Besse-Darmstadt, the Netherlands for Limburg and Luxem burg, Mecklenburg Strelitz, Lichtenstein, Schaumburg- Lippe, and HMIS. Homburg." Conformably with this view, the Prussian government does not doubt that the government of his Majesty the King of Denmark wilgsee in this act of ratification, taken in connexion with the ratificatioes effected through the medium of Prussia, the completion of all that was designated in the de cl•ratiun of the Danish charge craffan es on Sept. 6, 1850, a. nec ,, eary to constitute the ratification of the Beth by the totality of the states included in the Germanic confe d-rsion. The royal government takes this opportunity of expressing the hope that a common understanding on the subject of the further steps to be taken for restoring a peace ful situation to the duchies may soon be brought about among all the governments interested. We, on our side, are prepared for this object.—Berlin, Oct. 21,1850. Upon the motion of M. von Sydow, it was resolved that the college adhered to the views expressed in the foregoing letters on the invalidity of the Frankfort resolution of the 3rd, considered as the act of tho Bend, and regarded the same as a mere expression of the will of the governments actually represented there. The college further concurred in the hope that the common understanding of all the governments interested in restoring peace to the Duchies might soon be brought about. The Minister of Justice has distributed copies of three projects of law on the execution of judicial ver dicts and sentences, intended to apply to all the states of the union, to all judges of the Prussian courts, de siring their opinions thereon. The ministry are .rid to have changed their reso lution as to the date of convoking the chambers. The latter will not meet, it is said, until the 15th, or even the 28th of November. The Augeburg Post Zeitung speaks of an ultimatum proposed to Prussia, but whether by Austria alone, or iu connexion with the other German governments, is not stated. The tenor of the ultimatum is stated to be a emus Belli if a single Prussian corps invade the territories of Hesse Cassel without leave of the diet. Prussia is at the same time summoned to renounce the mien down to the last small state, and to unite with tae Frankfort diet in the work of framing a new Germanic constitution. Should Prussia gulp this nau seous draught, which, according to the writer, she has a hundred times deserved, a new construction of the confederation will take place ; but if not, a war, which is to relieve the noble Germanic race from the cowardice, craft, and arrogance within, and the degradation without, which Germany has endured through Pt useia. It scnrcely need bo remarked that the return of M. Persigny stands in close connexion with the Schleswig-Holstein question. The French govern ment has commissioned M. Persigny to demand whe ther or not Prussia intends to discharge the obliga tions entered into by the conclusion of the peace with Denmark, since Europa will no longer stand a quiet spectator of the blood , hed taking place in the duchies. M. Persigny is to inform General Ra dowita that the powers which have subscribed the protocol of London can only observe Prus sia', equiv. cal conduct with regret ; for, not withstanding a solemn treaty of peace, Prussia per mits one of her own generals to lead war against Denmark. and make the unhappy duchies of Schles wig and 11 , 18 , Ein his shambles, as the late attack upon Friedrichstadt has proved, where General Wit- Ren ventured to storm an impregnable position against the opinion of his whole staff. In case Prus sia should allege that to pat an end to hostilities in the duchies is not in her power, M. Persigny is to announce the resolution of the great powers, parties to the London protocol, to commit this duty to the Frankfurt Diet, and to support the latter in the ac complishment of that duty. Such is the mis sion attributed to M. Persigny. BERLIN. Ocr. 26 Despatches have been received from Wersuw, in- I timating that the Emperor of Itussia will be satisfied with nothing but the implicit recognition of the Bundestag. There is a rumour that Redowitz has sought a junction with the constitational , sts, by preferring the office of Under Secretary of State to Simeon. The head quarters of General Von der Groben are at Bach, on tee frontiers of Hesse Cassel. Ten thousand Prussian troops ire to leave the Duchy of Baden. AUSTRIA. VIENNA, Ocr. 24. The exchange is in a panic at the orders given the armies in the Tyrol and Voratberg, and part those in Hungary and Italy, to march. An Austrian army of 130,000 men is to be concentrated-60,000 men in the neighbmirhoad of Vitnna. The Lloyd informs the public, with semiofficial authority, that the B.varians and a battalion of Aus trians were to cross the Hessian frontier yesterday. LA PLATA. The British Packet, of the 17th August, says " The present week was ushered in by an event of a pleasing end grateful character. On Sunday 'awning, August 11, the French steamer Flu:than hove In eight, having on bolted his Ezeilleney Rear Admiral Le Prodour, commander-in chief of the French naval threes in the Plate, and actual minirer plenipo'entiary of the French republic. The flag-ship of the national sradron welcomed the patient and respected ad , miry on has arrival with • salute of 17 guns, which was duly acknowledged by the French corvette Astrolabe, to which the admiral's ensign hmi been transferred. The Astrolabe, in her turn, saluted the town with 21 guns, and this oomph sent was returned by the battery Libertad." About one o'clock his Excellency Admiral Le Predour disembarked, attended by his secretary, M. Renee de Realm, gad accompanied by the Oriental chargé d'affaires to this government, Don Antonio de los Royer. The captain of the port and aide-de-eamp of his Excel leacy, Don Pedro Ximener, and citizen Dos Manvino Totems, were in waiting to receive stet welcome the illustrious visitors en their landing. The mutual greetings and salute dons were cordial in the ex , reme. As to the result of the negotiations nothing that we know of has transpired ; but the courtesy and cordiali'y alluded to are favourable 'edit:idiom. The course of the money market tended to the came conclusion. Tranmetiens had been effected at u low • figure as 233{ current dollars per ounce, and it was known that various cent:stets were pendiog at considerably lower rates,"leaving the Bolls and Bears of 'Change (says the British Packet of the date alluded to) to adjust their own affairs as best they may." The latest dates from Monte Video by this arrival are to the 12th of August inclusive. Alluding to them the British Packet remarks We have received /Koala Video pap , rs down to the 12th. They contain no later news than those by the packet Seagull. As the foreign policy of the British cabinet is in bad odour with the Monte Vedean scribes, everything tending to denigrate Lord Palmerton is repro duced with puerile complacency. The motives and °Vests of such pAicy are transparent. Their gorge rims at the re , gelation of the Santo Convention, and the anticipation of the ILa Predour one exasperates their rage." " To the filthiest' and unbelieving it may be some console-1 don," says the Packet, " to bear from the lips of the Com. onercia, ' that the brig Alcibiadee sailed on the morning of the gib test , carrying to France a copy of the treaty, ad referendum, agreed upm between President Oribe and Admiral Le ' I'redour.

The protocol of the 38:12 sitting of the College of I Princes contains a note addressed by M. Von Redo- , wile, the Prussian Minister of Foreign Affairs, to M. von Sydow, as President of the College of Princes, enclosing despatch sent to the government of Denmark communicating the ratification of the Berlin treaty by the several states represented at Frankfort. The not* of M. von Redowita to M. von Sydow is as follows: Your Euelliney will already have seen the published official protocol of the sitting of the plenipotentiaries of several German governments assembled on the 3rd inst. at Prankfort-on-thisMaine, in which the resolution of these givernments on the ratification of the peace of July 2nd is stated. Of WPM the government of his Prussian Majesty can recognise is this resolution no valid declaration of tke Germanic Diet, but only a declaration of their own will on the part of a minority of Clasen goverements soling for themselves and in their own name. As sash an set the Prussian government is prepared to acknowledge its validity, notwithstanding the irregularity of its tonne, reserving. however, at the same time, ite right to protest egainst every inference prejudicial to its own right which may be drawn frees this conventional admission of the said validity. The Prussian government thee MN in the set of the Freak:fort plenipotentiaries the ratification of the peace on the parts of Austria, Saxony, Bavaria, Hanover, Wurtemburg, Electoral Hesse, iLase Darmstadt, the Netherlands for Luxemburg and Limbeeg, Mecklen burg Stroll*, Liechtenstein, Schaomberg-Lippe, and H-ese Homburg, just in the same manner as the majority of the German governments had already the same pesos and exchanged ratifications throuth the medium of Prussia. The royal Prussian go vernment has considered it a duty to communicate this feet without delay to the government of his Mojeaty the King of Denmark, sad I have transmitted to the royal ambeasedor at Copenhagen a despatch, of which the enclosed document is WESTIONB FEB. REPLY OF THE BISHOP OF LONDON TO THE lifl- IdORIAL FROSI THE WBSTMIN3TER CLERGY. Yesterday the Bishop of London sent the following reply to the m morial sign..d by the Archdeacon and Camas of Westminster and a largo body of the clergy of that city, presented to his lordship on Friday t— tt Fulham, 0:A. 2i, 1850. R VVVVVV D AND Data BRlTRltifi,—The sentiment' expressed in the address ',Lich you bay, presented to me are in entire accordance with mine, and I am p.nusded that they will be responded to by the unanimous feeling of pro. testant England. " The recent assumption of authority by the Bishop of Rome in pretending to parcel out this country into new dioceses, and to eppoint archbishops and bishops ti preside Over them, without the consent of the Sovereign, is a schis matical act without precedent, and one which would not be tolerated by the government of any Roman catholic king. dom I trust that it will not be quietly sub-pitted to by our own. Hitherto, from the time of the Ref Taunton, tLe Pope has been contented with providieg for the spirituel superin tendence of his adherents in this country, by th, appuin• meot of stout apostolic, bishops who to .k their titles ea such not from any real or pretended lee. in Harland, but from some imaginary dioceses its narribus infrie/suns. In his there wax no !assumption of spiritual authority over any other of the subjects of the English crown than thnee of his own munion. But the appointment of bishops to pri pi te over new dioceses in England, constituted by a papal brief, ie virtually a denial of the legitimate authority of the British sovereign end of the English episcopre; w deal .1, also, of eke validity of our orders, and an assertion of spirioial jure diction over the whole Christian people of th • ream. "That it is regarded in this light by the Pop-'s adherents in this country, is apparent from the language is which they felicitate themselves upon this arrogant a:tempt to stretch his authority beyond its proper limits. A jounal which is generally believed to express the ntiments of a large portion of them at least (not, I be lieve, of all), points out in the following words the difference between the vicars apostolic and the pretended diocessn bishops. Alluding to cumin members of our church who are accused of a leaning towards 'house, it says, 'ln this act of Pope Pius IX. they have that olen declara tion for which they have b an so long profesong to look. Rome, said they, has never yet formally lipk• n against us, Her bishops, indeed, are sent here, not a . Roving any local authority, but as pan ors without flocks; Bishop. of Talmor in the detect, or of the ruins of Babylon, heinous g into ter ritories which they caunnt formally claim as their own. This specious argument is once for all silenced. Itlnte bar more than spoken; sbe has spoken and prod. she has again divided our hod into dioceses., and has placid (der each a pastor, to whom all baptized pets' c.. ei , !.out sleep. tion, within that district, are openly commanded to submit themselves in all ecclesiastical matters, unit. r pain of d ,mea tion, and the Anglican sees, those ghosts ed r alltiEl long passed away, are utterly ignored.' " The advisers of tne P .ne have skil'ully eorrr:ved so to shape this encroachmen. upon the rights an I honour of the crown and church of England that his r , as.itues to ime ginary dioceses will not actually offend sash,: the tett.r of the law by assuming the titles which he hat et tended to confer upon them ; but that it is contrary to the Nord olthe laws there can be no doubt. As little doubt can there be that it is insonded as an insult to the sinnien mad the church of this country. " With respect to the conduct proper to be permed by yen on this occasion, it ought, in my opinion, to be temperate and charitable, but firm and uncumeromisteg. " You will do well to cell the attention of your people to the real purport of this open amok up in our reformed church, and to take niessures for pntitionto t the legitlaturs to carry out the principle of the statute, setich forbids all persons other than the persons authorised be low to smuts or use, the name, style, or title of any arehbi,noti of Lay province, bishop of any bishopric, or dean of any deanery, an England or Ireland, by extending the prohibition to say pretended diocese or deaneries in these realms. " It is possible that such prohibitions might not have the effect of preventing the resumption of titles by the Papal bishops, when deleting with their own adherents ; but it would make the assumption unlawful, and it would maik the determination of the people of this ecuntry not to permit any foreign prelate to exercise spiritual juriadiel a over them. But there are other duties besides three of rotes:Jag and petitioning, the performance of which teems to he specially required of us by thus present emergency. Unwill ing as lam to encourage coup °metal preaching, I must soy that we are drip n to have no ,uree to it by this attempted usurpation of authority on toe pad of the Bishop of Rome ; and by the activity and subtlety ui his emissaries in all parts of the kingdom. We are surely called won for a more than ordinary me-isur• of watchfulnem and niliftnits in fulfilling the . promise which we gave when we wore admitted to the priesthood, To banish and dr.eir assay all erroneous and strange doctrines contrary to God's wool.' " Let u* be careful, as well In our publi: neiniterations as in our private monitious and ezhortati• De, to retren from doing or saying anything which may perm to indicate a wish to make the slightest approach to a chur,li which, tar from manifesting a desire to lay amide any of the tenors end super. stitinns which compelled us to separate from it, is now re.ae s,rting them with a degree of boldness unknown since tke Reformation ; is adding new credos& to is or' icles of faith, and is undisguisedly teaching its members the duty of wor shipping the meatus with the worship due only to the Creator. " After all, I am much inclined to believe that in having recourse to the extreme measure which has called forth your address, the Craft of Rome bus been ill advised as regards the extension of its influence in this count:, , and that it hos taken a false step. That step will, I aria c iuvinced, tend to strengthen the protestant feeling of the people at large, and will cause some persons to heehaw and draw book who are disposed to make concessions to Rome, nod. r a mistaken is. pr. 'e'en that she nu abated somewhat of her ancient pm tensions, and that a union of the two churches might possibly to effected without the medics of any fundamental priusipin. Hardly anything could more effectually d'apel that illusion than the rite, nt proceeding of toe Boman pontiff. Us virtually condemns and excommunicates the whole English church, sovereign, bishops, clergy, and laity, and shuts the door against every scheme o' compensation save that which should take for its basis an entire and unconditional submission to the spiritual authority of the Bishop of Rome. " That it may please the divine Read of the Church, who is the true centre of unity and the only infallib e judge, to guide and strengthen us in these days of reboko and tri el, to open our eyes to the dangers we are In by our unhappy dtvisions,and to unite us in one holy band of truth and peace, and faith and obarity, is the earnest prayer, " Reverend and dear brethren, " Of your affectionate friend anti bishop, (S.gned) " C.

The following pastoral letter was on Sunday pub licly read in all the Roman catholic churcbes and chapel§ in the metropolis. It will be seen that his Eminence the newly appointed Cardinal has not been slow to exercise the authority of his recently acquired dignity: "Nicholas, by the divine mercy, of the holy Roman church by the title of St. Yodentiana Cardinal Priest, Arch biehop of Westminrer, and.

" For on the 29:h day of last month, on the feast of the Archangel St. Michael, Primp of the Heavenly Host, his Holiness Pope Pius IX. was gracioutly pleased to Woe his letters apostolic, under the Fishermen's Ring, conceived in terms of great weight and dignity, wherein he substituted for the eight apostolic viaariain heretofore existing one archiepiscopal or metropolitan and twelve episcopal sees repealing, at the same time,_ and annulling all diswitions and enactment. made for England by the Holy Bee with reference to its late form at ealealastical government. "And by a brief, dated the same day, his Holiness was further pleased to appoint us, though most unworthy, to the Archiepiscopal See of Westminster, established by the above-mentioned letters apostolic, giving us at the same tints the administration of the Episcopal See of Southwark.
