IT is evident by oar accounts from Berlin and Vienna that Austria has lowered its tons with regard to Hesse, and that SCIIWARZ EN BIRO recalls his inso lent orders to the Prussians to evacuee the electo rate. In consequ..cco of this the Prussians seem either to have ahaedoned, or to be ready to abandon Fulda, and to confine ttemmelves to the Etapen Straw. The question of Hesse, the most untenable part of the Austrian demands, being thus detrred to the free Conference, renders it probable that one great cause of immediate war will be removed. There remains, however, the Schleswig-Holstein insurrection, which Austria and her allies will con tinue even mare urgent upon, and for this reason, that Russia has stipulated immediate military action against Prussia for the reduction of Holstein ; whilst with regard to Hesse—a purely German question— the support of Russia was to be given in a more indi rect and remote way. Now, the object of Austria and Bavaria being, not to engage in a singkel ended cootest with Prussia on behalf of flew, but to excite a war in wh . ch they would have Russia for their ally, the march cf V e troops of the pretended federation to Holstein will be that insisted on. If Prussia resists their march, as we yesterday explained, the Russian troops are to ad vance from Poland in full numbers, and with that per fection of equipment which the five millions of the London loan have furnished. We stated very fully yesterday the dangers, and the very formidable combination of forces which menace Prussia, and exhorted our government to interfere, not, indeed, between the two rival German powers, but against the pretensions of Russia to march through Berlin to the conquest of Holstein, under leave of the Lord in protocol. Tne resistance of Schleswig Holstein, and the integrity of Dasmark, form but the stalking-horse, behind which the aim lutism of Russia and Austria advances to the exter mination of the liberal party and liberal ideas in Prussia. And England ought to settle that qneicion, without allowing the continent to be convol.ed or overwhelmed by it. But whilst thus admitting that Prussia may be assailed by an amoutit of force more than double that of her own, and strongly advising England and Prance by all the means in their power to avert such an invasion, we see but one course for Prussia, if in vaded, and that is, manly and determined resi,tance. If Prussia should either quietly suffer such invasive, et stoop to any base or dishonourable aubmieeion to escape it, Prussia perishes as a monarchy and as • separate ration. And it is not only more honourable, bu: more prudent, as affording chances and claims of future resuscitation, for a nation to perish with arms in its hands, than be kicked and croseed out of exist ence by the boot of a military despot. The Timer, which regards the Forsible contest with the Information and the confidence of the Austro- Rumen League, declares that Prussia caeca resist, that any appeal to the liberal party or teelirg in Germany cannot cave it; and that the campaign and the struggle will he decided purely by strategy and numbers. Fortune, said NAPOLEON, is always on the side of large battalions. Rim own ex nerienee, however, sufßciently disproved the dictum of NAPOLEON. A campaign in a country roused by hatred towards the invaders, and by spirit to resist them, is very different from a campaign amidst a neutral or indifferent population. With her numerous fortresses, her ample materials of war, her universally armed and disciplined popu lation, Prussia may carry on *defensive war. If the surface of the country be fiat, it is still intersected by waters, and studded with strongly fortified towns. The Prussian commander, whoever he may be, most know that he has for antagonists two powers one, of which, indeed both, are utterly bankrupt in finances, and, therefore incapable of a lengthened campaign, much less of a long and hard-fought war. He must know too, that the very facts of such an invasion and its cause would arouse the German, the Polish, the Italian mind, as sell perhaps as French ambition. Every week during which each t war would be prolonged would bring strength to the liberal and weakness to the absolutist camp. In order, however, to ..make such a war, it would not do to make a mere war of strategy. In a mere manceuvring of armies a skilful general may make the smaller number victorious, but the chances are in favour, as NAPOLEON said, of the roe b•itenti , ma. In • war of principle, a national war, it is quite otherwise. Bat to render the war this, Prussia should frankly hoist the liberal or consti tutional standard. It should eppeal to feelings which it has sorely hurt, and to parties which it has mercilessly crushed. We do not, of course, allude to the extreme democrats, whom it would be hopeless and idle to conciliate. But there are moderate men in Germany who would demand a frank declaration a the cause for which they were called upon to enter into a deadly aai determined war. We are perfectly convinced that the King of PRUSSIA and his brother have it in their power to issue a proclamation which would cause every Ger man arrayed against them to fling down his arms. Look at the miserable and mock kings that are raising this crusade, opposed by their chambers and by public opinion, every one of them obliged to tread oat the last vestige of a constitution, and unable to levy a stiver but by the aid of bayonets. Thus War temhurg, Saxony, Hanover, and the Franconian portion of Bavaria are just as disaffected as Hesse. If Prussia raised boldly the constitutional and Ger man banner, half the armies of her German oppo nents would pass to her side. But we repeat, a war of mere strategy will not do this. If Prussia is to fight and to be victorious, Prussia must fight not as an army, but as a nation—and a nation conscious that it fights not merely for a dynasty, however duly honoured, bat for the rights, the ideas, and the ob jects, which have grown with German mind and German might, and which can neither in triumph nor in degradation be separated from them. A voice has been beard from Owydyr House. The oracle of the Board of Health has again spoken, after a lapse of some months. In so far as any Immediate prospect of en improved water supply for the metro polis is concerned, the oracle is as uneatidaetory es ever; but the delay io publishing the evidence upon which the Report of the Board profeesed to be based has been in some measure explained. The Board has fillen in love with a new crotchet with reference to the water supply of the metropolis; and, as the evi dence prepared to bolster up the old one will not suit its successor, it must be thrown aside, like a last year's almanac. The Board, it appears, entertaining some not unna tural misgivings that its researches on Bagehot-heath might not prove altoer•thir convincing to the public mind, has instituted further investigations. With • sharacteristic shyness of men whose professional statue, while it was likely to inspire the publi c w i t h goolkienoe, was just ea likely to inspire themselves with a troublesome disposition to utter their own opinions frankly, the board has availed itself el the services, sot of any experienced engineers and chemists, but of an amateur with • handle to his name—the Honourable WILLIAM NAPIER. The Honourable WILLIAM was despatched by the board to Bagshot-heatb, in August lass, in search of as ample supply ot left and pure water ; and be ap peal, ever sines to have kept "pacing the dreary suers incessantly," much after the fashion of WORDS. WORTII'S leech-gatherer. He has evinced also genuine Wardswerthiaa predilections in the selection of tee persons from whose mouths he has sought to learn wisdom. " I received." he says in one place, "mask valuable informatics from • herb doctor . Agate, MI consults " an intelligent labourer" in the habit et " bathing in Hinley-pend." But his great authority seems to be " a soi-dieant gamekeeper (but from his appearance, I fear, occasionally a poacher.)" To uo the Honourable WILLIAM justice, he has done the work of his employers in a manner that must be extremely satisfactory to them. They were re luctantly obliged to confess in their report that the quantity of soft water they expected to obtain from the surface drainage of the Bsgshot sands would require to be eked out by additional supplies of the harder water of the Wey. Even then they did not venture to promise so abundant a supply to the metropolis as it at present re ceives from the companies, and were obliged to anti cipate the objections to their plan that might be raised on this ground, by undertaking to demonstrate that London is actually labJuring under a plethora of water--that more is brought into it than the in habitants can consume, and that the surplus occasions a dampness highly prejudicial to health. But en lightened by the herb doctor, the intelligent bathing labourer, and the gentleman suspected of addicts in to poaching pursuits, the Honourable WILLIAM NAPIEB boldly promises that he can double the present nnount of water ninety, that the water he introduces shell be " of primitive purity, perfect in aeration, brilliant in colour, soft almost as distilled water, of • grateful temperature, about 50 degreis, and almost free from mineral, animal, and vegetable admix ture." Respeeting the sources whence this quintessence of ideal water, this elixir of health and dualities,' is to be derived, the oracle is rather obscure. Some peones of " Part No. I," would lead as to believe that only surface water, the pure droppings of the clouds before they are tainted with earthy admixtures, are to be taken. But other putouts would seem to imply that the water will be drawn from streams which have flowed from far within the bowels of the earth. At one time we are told that " the nature of the gathering grounds exactly adapts them for the means of collection pro posed by the Riard," and that " a more admirable plan of gathering rain-fall could not have been can ceived ;" bat at others we are told that spring. are to be need, of which " the greater mass are, as at Fara t am-hill, due to rain tall elsewhere—probObly to rain-fall on ranges of equal and higher Lytle, at • considerable distance, where the nature of the strata will not permit of the rain-fall making its appearance again alter percolation." But in the opinion of the Honourable WILLIAM NAPIER b ,th entrees of supply arc equally excellent : the one, because it has never entered the submit ; the other, because it has run a long way through it. So far as we can understand the new plan for col lecting water on B igehot-heath, prop 63d for the adoption of the Board, it is to take it in all cases from the fountain head. Every existing spring, even to the most minute, is to be used for this purpose, and the " pan," which in many places is frond at a depth of about three feet under the sand, is to be brok.l3 through, to increase their number. The Luger springs are to be encased with brick or tiles ; the smaller are to be gathered in one stream, "great care being taken to avoid the mixture of surrace-wathing." The water thus collected is to be conveyed in pipes to mains terminating on Wimbledon Common, where " a covered reservoir for two days supply might be provided to meet any extraordinary emergency, By this arrangemement the Hon. WILLIAM emergency- By undertakes to supply the metropolis with 75 genus per house of water daily, on an estimate of 623,126 hone a, and in addition "to allow the towns at Guildford, Richmond, &c., and the different villages on the line of water supply to London, to partake of the advantages prepared for that city." This is very magnificent, but its very magnifloenee, coupled with the vague indications of the sources relied upon, and of the means of conveyance, reminds us irresistibly of the Arabian Nights' Entertain ment*. There is but one idea common to all the ever-varying proposals of the Board of Health. To the idea of deriving the water supply of London exclusively from Bsgshot heath they remain con stant; but at one time they undertake to show that larger supplies can be obtained there than from all the sources at present in use ; at another they argue that the seppliet, though lees in quantity, will still be sufficient ; at oce time they talk of col lecting surface eater, at another ot employing springs which give out the water flowing through subterra nean channels from distant heights. These incessant self-contradictions, combined with the utter want of accurate intelligible engineering details or estimates of expense, show that the authors of these projects have no distinct practical plan in view. Such dreams might be tolerated in men who were only spending their own funds, and wasting their own time, in elaborating and promulgating them ; but the Board of Health is paid out of the public revenue for wasting the time of the public. While they are hatching mai publishing one scheme after another, each more adventurous and unsubstantial than another, every rational attempt to improve the water supply of Loudon is kept at a stand. e learn, therefore, with pleasure that some of the existing companies are busily enga.ed in experi ments, with a view to improve the quality, in crease the quantity, and perfsct the didribution of their water supply, and see, from the notices of applic►tions for bills to parliament, that new com panies are preparing to come into the field. We have no implicit faith in companies to whom large powers must be entrusted, but in them we bare at least to deal with practical and experienced men. By such agency the water supply of the metrJpolis has of late years been mach improved ; and it will be more safe to avail onnelves, with proper precautions, of such an agency, than to trust to the theoretical, extravagant, and practically helpless dreamers of the Board of Health. We hope. therefore, to see an effort made during next session to come to a proper understanding and equitable arrangement with the c impartial, and at the same time to relieve the country from the ex pensive folly of the Board of Health. THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING. NOVEMBER 13, 1850. Than projeste of law on subjeots worthy of year ooasider mien will shortly be submittals.

Puzzle Wow. The reduction in the amount of rums voted has led to the pearinentent of many nuitmary work., and a diminished pursuit of even the meat urgent. Neverthelese, many im portant hue of railway have been opened during the put Ia the last month of 1849 were opened the railroads of Pule and Chalons-eur-Marne, of Paris and Tonnerre, of Dijon and Chalonr.sur.Saese.: of thenior and Anger., of Versailles and Chartres, of Noyou and Chaney, of Saint Pierre and Calais—in ell 634 kilometres. Daring the yen 1850 have been opened the lines from Chalons cur- Marne to Vitry, Mrs to Nancy, Necondes to Nevem and Chancy to Saint Qoentin, in all 152 kilometres. In th e year 1861 will open the tines from Vary to Bar le Deo, Mets to Stint Avoid, Strasbourg to Sarreboura t Ton. nerre to Dion Tatum= to Baucaire, Tours to Pottier,. Attain to Naples, and, we hope, from Chartres to Loupe, in all 513 kilometres: . . . . . The metallurgic industry fa one of those departm• nts which improve most slowly. In 1849 the Iron works have made 425,000 tensor cast Iron, value about 69 millions, and 275,000 tons, value about 81 millions. At the present ill - mint the aettyi:y of these establitheasat4 seems to be on the tomes'. The studies which have for their object the irrigation and drainage of the soil are continued with the greatest solicitude. . . . . . . . I have particularly to call the attention of the As a.mbly to the concession to the Lyons railway. On this concession &ponds the completion of works of the greatest importance, for it would permit the distribution smug many lines ant works of all kinds of the sums which the treuury has to disburse. Our political, commercial, and industrial inter, ate re• quire the completion, at u early a period as possible, of the lines from Paris to Marseilles, from Paris to s.rssbourp, from Paris to Bordeaux. and from the west to the centre But to complete these railroads and the great public works now in course of execution the treasury will have to disburse on the let of January next the sum of 686,000 000, to wit— Fas railroad, 430,000,000 francs. For lanais 25 OW 000 . . . For the improvement of river navigation 5400,003 For Mediterranean and oceanic coasts 64,000,000 „ For roads Total If all these works were to remain at the charge of the public treasury, thk would yet !rye to disburse 585 millions, sod it would be long before their completion would he effected; with a dotatios of 70 millioaa a year, r has taken place during 1850 and 1851, their completion would require nine years. If the Lyons Hallway were conceded, the Treasury would be relieved to the extent of 260 millions, which would re duce the charges to 325 millions, and the tine necessary for the completion of the public works to five years. To reduce the charges of the treasury to 260 millions, to advance by four years the completion of our roads, canals, rivers. railroads, that, gentleman, would be a ut,st useful IllelllllTP. The Assembly will be struck, u I hive bean, with the in creased advantage of a prompt concession of the Lyons rail way for the whale of cur public works. GERMANY. The following are the insolent terms proposed by Austria, and which led to the calling out of the Prussian landwehr, a step which, as we have seen, led to the modification of the terms of the cabinet of Vienna : 1. To evacuate Hesse Cassel within a week; 2. To evacuate Hamburg within six weeks.; and h ,3. Solemnly and formally to renounce the union. A letter from Fulda of Nov. 9, says that at 10 in the morning of that day the Prussian troops quitted Fulda, and about two in the afternoon Prince Thorn and ;Taxis, commander-in-chief of the federal troops, made his entry into Fulda. It was said at Hanau that both Bavarian and Prussian troops would evacuate the whole country, and the troops of the electorate return; but this is unlikely. A Vienna correspondent of the &clam Zeilung, says, that in the event of a war between Prussia and the federal troops, the Austrio-Bohemian army corps would join the Saxon army. Our correspondent writes as follows : BERLIN, Nov. 10. The position of affairs is the same es yesterday. Negotiations are beiog carried on with Vienna. A special envoy has been dispatched to the court of St. Petersburg. The mobilisauon is proceeding with great rapidity. The following is the_postsoript of a letter from oar own correspondent at Frankfurt, dated Nov. 10 : "There is every reason to believe, from the tarn that affairs have taken, that the subaltern Prussian officer who commanded his men to fire on the Ba varians and the Austrian be at the village of Broosell, near Folds, will be sacrificed. A court martial hue been appointed to try him, and it la ex pected be will be at least cashiered."

AORICTLTIIEZ AND COMMERCE. To promote suseliQrstioos, to rains dourness, le the duty of the admioistratios of commerce sod sericulture. The crisis which afflicts our agriculture calls for all our solicitude. The extent of the evil has rendered all the resource. p!eced at the disposil of the government insufficient to make a very general distribution of them. It has app-need, therefore, desirable to localise their eppliestion. Purchases of grain for the army and navy departments, where the markets were most depressed, have in some degree mi.igated the general distress by restoring firmness to the markets. Although in 1050 the harvest of cereals his not covets• winded to all the hopes that were en'ertained of It, it has lelt no fears fur the supply of the wants of the country. The low pries of wheat cannot fail to lead to a cones ponding reduction of the value of cattle. The adminis:ration of agriculture neglects nothing which may forward the rearing of cattle. Thus the competition for the prizes th is year has been greater than ever. Besides the local exhibitions, there have been evened exhibitions for whole provinces at Niemen, Aurillac,Bsint-Lo,end Bourdeaux, and a general pries exhibition at Versailles, more portico. larly designed to promote the improvement of breeds. The numberless breeders who have come to Versailles prom the utility of this institution. . . The biieding or horses advances with satisfactory results. The sdminietration of breeding studs has proceeded with are gulari, which deserves t►e praises of all who tare an in terest in the state of our agriculture or the cavalry of our army. The number of horses has multipled, and their value is increued. The institution of nen bu this year been considerably developed; in all, a sum of 600,000 francs has be..n siren fnr prizes. As the sam voted by the state was only 300,000 francs, it will he seen that the chief pan of thew prizes were raised by local contributions. Toe pr'actice of sgricultural operations has made pewee. gene which, by their importance, amount to actu‘l revolu ti 'no in economy. In the course of the seitinn, the minist,r will submit to the Assembly sensors ter.ding to develop winks of irrigation. He will call your attention to operations of drainage, which are in England subjects of so great en couragement. A law concerning the . . policy of industrial manures will be proposed to you. The: remark ibis methods of cultivation, of se - ting and preparation of flax, which have just been introduced into R Ireland, and Belgium, can no longer be matters of indifference to the government. It has deeply studied them, and the results will be submitted toyou in the exposition of motives for the law which will be proposed to vou for the removing of all; tax on the entry of flaxseed, for sewing, from the provinces of Riga. The new lieu gained in the science of agriculture, are propagated for the benefit of the youth of the country, through the medium of local and agricultural schools ; cud fur the benefit of agriculturists by the publication of reports emanating from the most competent men. The industrial situation of the country has become gene rally ameliorated during 1850, even taking 1849 in the term for comparison. Almost everywhere the activity commenced during the past year has been maintained, often increased. The recent reports of the chambers of commerce and mania futures indicate this prosperity. The menu factores of cloth and wool fabrics, those of linen and cotton, skins, potteries Rises, and obfrc , s of luxari , have found easy and advantageous &Douche' 8. The manufactures of silk have hitherto showed the MN 'Welty : If metallergic industry has not yet been raised in what concerns the manufacture of articles destined for railroads, the construction of machinery has made a progressive movement corresponding to the leCTC•110 of bullies'. A few facts will Rive the exact measure of the progress made. In the first half.year of 1847 the government authorised the creation of 92 industrial esiablishmenta ; in 1849 their number fell to 68, and to last year to 43. For the first half of the present year they have risen to 87. The charges of brokers and Atoekbrokers have resuntei their value; the sales this year have ban as numerous as in 1847. The Counefl of State is about to examine the project for the regulation of the public administration, marking the exceptions which claim the execution of the law on the ;imitation of the continuance labour to 12 hours. This pro jest regards the need of industry, while it respects the law. The trait of the expectance of the most eminent manufac toren, it will do away with such few difficulties as have been raised. Two laws, lateresting as regards the integrity of transac tions—one on the manias of kiwis,' and the other on their divnion and measurement, will be submitted to you in the course of the semioa. The patent law of 1844 mils somemodificitions in order to ensure inventors a more efficacious guarantee of their rights ' • they will be proposed to you. The National Assembly bee bents it three projects of law. One pre sewed in Much, 1850, proposes to reform tko cool. mercial regime of the Isle do Is Reunion in • more liberal maw, and more suited to the new element' of exchange being developed between our colony end the neighbouring countries of AM. The second, mimed by the departments of tonmeroe and war, and submitted to the Assembly on the let of May, bee for objet the regulation upon more liberal beau of the tom menial and economical regime of Algeria. It should, in the opinion of the government, give • decisive impulse to the roams of Monisation. Lastly, the thud project brought before you oa the 12th of July morns the nrif of sugar.

But the law on mortgages would be insufficient for the establishment of credit fowler. It gives solidity to the ter ritorial peanuts., but does cot accelerate its liquidation ' and does sot cause the cessation of those complaints which name of tardiness those regulations of mortgage debts. The administration of justice, in order to complete its work, has prepared a new project of law upon the distribu tion, in order, of the price of landed or house property, the measure conciliatiog es much as possible prompitudc and security.

The following presidential weeeage was re ad is 1 the Paris National Assembly yesterday: bfy fint message 'Molded with the first isesting of the Legislative Amiably. The semi electors who named me to the supreme megistrecy of the ammo called you by their suffrages to sit hers. France saw you assemble with pleasure, for the is, send meat presided at both oar elections. She foamed on us the same mission, sad hoped from our anion the rosetablish. aunt of order and the maintenance of external • pease. Sines the month of June, 1849, a sensible amelioration has taken plane. When you first ao sessbled the country was still excited by the last momenta of the Constituent. Several imprudent votes had created groat difficulties for the government. The es. eitamants of the tribune were, as always, converted into agi tations in the street, and the 13th Jane taw unfolded a new attempt at icsurrection. Although easily suppressed it demon strated the necessity of ralmiting our efforts against bad passions. To overcome them it was necessary to prove in the first place to the nation that the best intelligence sub sisted between the Assembly and the executive power, to im press on the administration a united direction, to war against the causes of disorder neolutely, and to re-ani mate the elements of prosperity. Ihe important laws that the gravity of events compelled the adoption of have contributed powerfully to re-establish confidence, because they proved the strength of the Assem bly and of the government when they are in perfect noordenee. The administration, on its side, redoubled its vigour, and the ruactionaries who appeared not suf. &lastly capable, or sufficiently devoted, to fulfil the difficult minion of conciliation without weakneer, and of repression without party spirit, were revoked; otters. on the coattary, promoted or retompensed. The muni cipal authority, se salutary when its action is united loyally with that of the executive power, has draw. down on itself In many communes very grave reproubes-421 mayors and 183 oakeists have been revoked, and if all those who have not fulfilled their duty have not been puntehed, It is that the Imperfection of the law bas opposed It. The council of state, to remedy this, has already commerced the ex. unination of a proleet of law, but it is difficult to re concile the municipal frauchise with unity of action, the true stringth of central power. The canoeist guard, a useful auxiliary against foreign and domestic enemies when it is well organinel, bas acted but too often in a manner opposed to the end of its institution, and has tom peLed to to disband it in 153 towns or communes—every where, in fine, where it presented the character of • delibe rative armed lone. The magistracy hen nobly seconded the government, and has displayed great energy in causing the laws to be exectr ed, and punishing their violation. To ensure order in the most agitated provinces, extensive commands, comprising e I military diviiions, have been created, and more extensive p ewers confided to experienced generals. ET, rywhtre, the army hos given its con caffeine wieb that admirable devotion which characterises it; everywhere, also, the gendarmerie has accomplished its minion with a seal worthy of eulogy. The agitation of the rural districts his been much calmed by putting n stop to the detestable prepagande which the primary school misters diffused. MUMS/Sill clearinge oat have bun made, and now the schoolmasters are no longer instruments of di.- order. Althoego internally preoccupied by argent repression. the government has adopted all that peened adapted to amelio rate the situation of the country. Thus, in spite of the difficulty of circumstances, the impel jonei:r has been r. shied to be reduced 27 millions. A project of organisation of credit joneter,the application of which will be still further facilitated by the reform of the mortgage system, has been submitted to you. The laws relative to the funds for retire. ment and mutual assistance that you have voted will seer. else the most salutary influence on the lot of the working The organisation of the societies of patronage, tie molt useful auxiliary of the administration in the twofold interest of morality and public gentrify, the hospitals, the charitable establishments, have beta objects of par - titular solicitude. The beet possible appropriation g hat been made of the lunds of assistance. A project has been under consideration for many years in the view of procuring for the communes all the fruits that could be derived from their waste lands. The country roads, a source of prosperity for the rural districts, receive constant ameliorations, which tend to complete the ensemble of rural communications. The lest message expressed a desire to see the payment of taxes in kind suppressed, the Assembly has had laid before it propositions relative to this object. The councils general c insulted decided for the most part to retain rather than to suppress it. But to maintain t►e proportions of the tsx without lamming its rpourees is an extremely difficult problem to solve. The financial situation of the communes is impreviog, but the government moderates their excessive disposition to vote local expenses. The new telegraph lines, voted by the law of the 10th of February lest, are in course of execution. They are in operation from Paris to Tours, to Rotten and Valenciennes, but it is necessary is extend their circuit. The law on private telegraphs, sabtnitted to the Assembly demands a prompt solutim. The tavern most has exercised inuulgence wh it could without danger. Thus, slate the month of June, 1849, 2,400 persons who had been transported have been set at liberty, without com promising public quiet. There only remain 488 who have been sent to Alges M. Titers are still, unhappily. without reek 31110 g the transported of June, 348 political convicts in the prisons of Feature. The interdiction of labour in the prisons bed ar„gra cited the lot of the prisoners. The decree of toe 9th of Jenuery, 1849, has not remedied the evil. A project of law which protects the interests of society and those of the prisoners is submitted to the council of state. So soon u it shall be adopted, the government will render, as soon as possible, this numerous clue useful in agricultural labours. The wel fare and moralisatim of young prisoners, the cellu lar penitentiary system, the amelioration of the regime of oestral hosier, continue to be considered with serious este, end soon the government will demand of the Assembly the means of creating model agricultural eulooies for young pri. mien, as is preeenbed by the law of the 6th of August last. A project of law will be presented to you for rendering assistance to the wreck of your armies of the republic end the empire who are now wit►out re source b. emu political events have deprived them of their rights, and it is unworthy a great cation to leave them longer in misery. FINANCI. _ ..._... The rumble of Ws policy hu notable ameliorated I our financial situation. The accounts of 180 have been submitted to you, and have iotormrd you of the definitive balance of the ee and expenditure. Ir might have been summed at one time that the budget of 1849, on account of certain unforsun circumsuitiefe at the moment it wee voted, would have impair= on the Trsesury a charge of about ',BOO millions. Owicg to the improvement of the uvulae ' and to the saving effected in die*. rent services,services, this dificieney, it may now be affirmed, will be reduced marl, 100 millions. Every. thiog Indorses the hope that the deficit anticipated for the bode= of 1850 .111 ha anisibly diminished, and that the equilibrium announced for 1851 will be realised. The increase of the indirect taxes continues; the nine first months of 1860. compared to the corresponding months of the put _year, show an increase of more than 28 millions. The indirect Uses, of which the tariffs have not beet =edified, and which amount to more than 16 milling in this Isamu, attest the esenseption of ' business and the improvement in the acidities of the Moulin darer. Prue and internal order hays produced other fruits. The funds deposited at the esvinp banks since Jen. 1, 1819, sawed the sums paid out by 69 millions. TM figure of the portfolio of the bank, which lad ("Denby degrees below 100 millions, has gradually increased, and on the 7th of this month *weeds 136 millions. By suppressing the forted currency of note*, yon had a right to reckon on the re-establishment of public confidence : facts have completely justified that proceeding : the return to the former status hes diminished neither the event nor the importance of the circulation. _ . If the product of the customs has sustained any diminution, the different* results from accidental MIMI, which you are able to estimate, and which ariee in the altered circum stance. of the wit and colonial sugar rates; but, con sidered in its totslity, our international commeree, after a groat depetwitia in 1848, has risen in 1849 by • espi movirotmat, which continues i•s Fogies idea.

The Art. 9 of the constitution ordered the introduction into edocation of liberty and competition, under certain con ditions of capacity and motility, and tin ler the surveillance of the stmt. Two measures led the way for this radical Deform; the first is the abolition of the certificate of stn lies; the second, the transitory law concerning tbo nomination and revocation of primary teachers. One of there measures has put an end to Enp. espreesed complaints; the other, &stet unanimous reports from the meets, has borne the best fruits. The Important law of !larch 15, 1850, rendered neoemary a consider able reformation of the anminiatration, and new re gulations. Several menthe have been spent in this double work. The Stet question is nearly fished. Divers decrees prodiund by this cout.cil of state have provided for those elementary regt.lations vr , ich were most pigmies. Other projects are in course of study. Everything tends to show that, in general, the clauses of the new law will realise the hopes of the government and the Assembly. The administration of worship has obtained from the holy See, after tardy negotiations, a measure which had lone been desired, the election of three Monied bishcprica, and the appointment of three prelates for Martinique, Ouo deloupe, and the Isle of Reunion. (Cheers.) In the same mandatory the Sovereign Pontiff proclaimed these new cardi nals granted to the church of France, in grateful return for the benefits done by our country, and as a mark of esteem for the French episcopate. WAR. _ . The effective strength of our military forcee,which amounted in June,lB49, to 451,000 men and 1..754 horses, only amounts now to 396.030 men and 87 400 horse.; soon it will be con fined within the li.nits assigned by the budget, and will be kept therein if political circumstances ',omit The organisstien will only be &Rai ire after the adop tion of the projects of, law on the cadres (skeletons of bstialions) submitted last June. Several trials are y-t being made or in course of study for the purpose of increasing the welfare of the soldier, diminishing the number of non voleurs in the corps, arid modifying administrative control. I again call your attention to the projects of law which are presented to you, end which may improve the position of the officers, commiumneri and nen nommissioned, and soldier . Algeria had suffered much from the political events of 1848 ; the notable diminution of our troops did not prevent our brave army from facing every danger. &meta taken after prodigies of valour; Boa Cede subjected; these acts consolidate our dominion and allow us to pursue the work of pacification. In the province of Constan tine a column explored in May and June the court try conquereu between Setif and Bougie ; the Beni Inim-1 were destroyed by the bravo though unfortunate General Barrel, and in a few days the Beni ?derail followed the same fate. In the south, the district of the Aeries was visited by our troops; the subjection of the Nemenicha ensured to our markets an important provision, and the new organisstion of these countries a way into the in•erior of Africa. The tranquility of the province of Algiers permits of the continuation of the works already begun; the Nnth, have suffered much from famine; the military autho rities, however, assisted by all the means in their power. Quiet has been maintained in the province of Oran , and everywhere,thanks to the intelligence of the officers of our Arabian filoes, the natives appreciate daily the lassies of our administration. The week of cola ailing continues; the 42 agricultural colonies distri buted in our three provinces may, in time, form floe establishments. A European population of 115,000 souls, spread in 133 towns or villages, 11,000 colonists having built, in value, to an amount of 14 millions, 'bow progress which I hope will not came. Our means of commu nication comprises an extent of 6,350 kilometres. Our tele. graphic lines are composed of 64 poets, and will be completed by 30 other projected ones. Sanitary measures are improving the health of the popula tion ; nearly 8,000 hectares of marshes have been dried up. At the seme time the productive sower of the loud has been Increased by the formation of 250,000 yards of canal, and 75,000 small streams for irrigation. 110,000 yards of aque ducts, or pipes, bring the water to our towns. Finally, neer 900 OolifiCES of every kind have been retied to this day. The important works of the port of Algiers are being actively continued. The administration has succeeded in obtaining information of a considerable quantity of mineral strata which will soon contribute to the wealth of Algeria and the metropolis. The cultivati in of tobacco, of mulberry trees, of cochineal, of cotton, and of madder, are assuming great developments; the wool trade already amounts to 36 millions, that of skin t 024 millions. Finally, immense works of defence, barracks for 40,000 men, and hospitals for 5,000 sick, guarantee the safety el our conquest and the welfare of our army, to whose incessant fatigues we owe the greater pert of the works of which we have just spoken. The state will neglect nothing to arrive at prosperity for this colony. MARIXIL The navy has been maintaineoiOn a respectable footing in spite of the reduction commanded by the budget. The foreigner have done homage to the fine orgaaisation of our fleet assembled at Cherbourg. Nevenhelem our force only consists of 195 Is ins ead of 235, which we had in acti vity in 1848. It employs 22,561 men, instead of 29,331, who are inecribed on the lista of the same year. The present effective force barely suffices to protect French In• crest in divers parts of the globe. The spirit of oar sailors is excellent, and their devotion beyond proof. The workmen of our armnal, enlightened by experience, have resumed those works with activity, and we can notice some of the most important of them, so, f or instance, at Cherbourg the dyke basin, new earenal, the Fort dee Flamands and the sinking of the in ternal basin. At Toulon, the curing and cleans sing of the roads—one fith part of which is done. At Oberon the building of the Bayard fort, for protecting the roads, of the island of Aix. At Fort Vendres, all that is neeemary to offer a sale refuge for the fleet. At Marseilles, the new basin. . _ _ In anticipation of the inquiry that is now pending, the administration has been obliged to postpone all radical reform in the divers branches of an administration so oomph!: as that of the navy. Nevertheless, by a decree of the 16th of Jan., 1860, the Council of Admiralty has been eonstituted so as to ensure to all the marine corps the guarantees given to the officers of our fleet. The penal system in the navy has been submitted to a revision. This important work was required by naval as well as legal men, and it wil be submitted to yon very soon. The ordonnance upon sea service will shortly receive modifications, which will be so much progression in the immovable principles of discipline. In the West Indian colonies, after disasters, of which the result has not been so fatal as might have been rkpectei, seeing the gravity of the social transformation which they have undergone, peace is re-established, end the government firmly resolved to maintain it by an energetic administration which it will conciliate with the pacification of divisions of Caste. Tie sensible decrease of productions is an ineontestible fact, but it may be partly explained by the effect of the seasons and the straightened positions of proprietors, with out any other reasons for concluding that unfavourable results will follow from the emancipation of labour. Nothing has been neglected tn improve the situation—materially and mo rally—ofousoolonies. Organisation,policy, j ustice,adminlstra lion, banks, colonisation, all three lave been submitted to the examination of eminint 111110, and will become the object of several successive laws. 02T colony of the M union , free from trouble', would not have seen her prosperity decrease were it not for two hurricanes which, laid it waste. On the western coast of Africa our trade is marked by pro. gum its which our establishment of Senegal, Gone, and our countries about the Equator bars a share. At Tahiti the mdateasaos of oar protectorate pro. serves in Oceania • point of rest for our minions, as well as for our military and mercantile matins. FOZZION AITAIIIS.

It in toy profound conviction that it has never been shaken. 0 :ly the enemies of the public tranquility have been able to distort the most pimple proceedings which arise (rem my position. A' first magistrate of the republic I was obliged to put myself into relations with the clergy, the magiretcy, the agriculturiats, the manufacturers, the administration, the army, and I esgetly seised all occasions to witness to them my sympathy and gratitude for the concurrence which they lend me ; and, above all, if my came, as well as my effort', have combined to reconfirm the spirit of the army, of which I alone dispose, according to the ;terms of the nanstdetiOn, It is a service, I dare to say it, which I conceive that I have rendered to the a entry ; (or I have always turned my per tonal influence to the profit of order. The invariable rule of my political life shall be, antler all circumstances, to do my duty, and nothing hut my duty. It le at present permitted to everybody, excepting me, to wish to hasten the revision of our fundamental law. If the Mil e :tuition contains defects and dangers, you are alt free ti est them in relief beans the eyes of the eJuntry. I alone, boned by my oath, shut myself within the strict limits which alas traced. (Cheers.) A stmt number of the councils general have expressed the wish for the revision of the constitution. This • tsh only addressed to the legislative power. As for myself, elected by the people, holding only of the people ins eds. met quo de AU), I shall always conform to its will legally expressed. The uncertainty of the future gives birth to finny lope hensions, in awakening many hopta. Let us all know how to make for our c:untry the sacrill:a of these hopes, and let us occupy ourselves only wi' h her interests. If it. this session you vote the revision of the coastitution, a constituent aseembly will come to remake our r.f (line we amen tal laws and regulate the fate of the executive po I you do not vote the revision, the people, in 1852, will manifest solemnly the exprenion of its now will. But, whatever may be the solutions of the future, let us understand one another, in order that it may not be lo:t to passion, surprise, or violence to decide the lot of a great nation. Let us Manise tho people with the love of repose, by . introduci.g csloiness into our deliberations ; let as inspire the people with the relit/bin of the right, by departing from it ourselves; and then, believe, it, the progress of political manners eoll compensate the danger of institutions created in days of dis trust and uncertainty. What above all pre-occupies me, be penitential of it, is not to know who will govern France in 1852, but to emplof the time at my disposal in such a manner that the transition, whatever it may be, may be effected without agitation aced without disturbance. The most noble and worthy end of an eleve d soul is not to seek, when in power by what exp!dlents to pero ttn l that power, but to watch , without ceasing, for the ninon, consolidating, for the advantage of all, the principles o f authority and morality, which defy the passions of men lin* the instability of the laws. I hove frankly opened before you my heart ; you will fr spend to my sincerity by your confidence, to my good tale two by your concurrence, and God will do the rest. Receive, gentlemen, the assurance of my high esteem. LOUIS NAPOLEON BONAPARTE . E'ythe-National, Nov. 12, 1860. PARIS, TOBSDLY Ervaso. To-day the President's message (given ab)ve) rraa read by the Minister of the Interior in the Nadal' Assembly. Nearly six hundred members werepm sent, and the crowded state of the public and diplo matic tribunes attested the cariosity and interest which this document wee expected. After the re; election of M. Dupla, M. Baroche mounted the tri bune, at half-past three, in order to read the mesillet which was listened to throughout with the most reh glow, attention. The extreme Left abstained gag" rally from all demonstration. But when tt waa proclaimed that French arms had pd down the turbulent demagogy of Rome, the Mountain could not suppress murmurs of indignation ; and the assurance that the new gendarmerie had been found very , effectual, was met with shouts of deri sion from the same quarter. Marks of approbation , en the ether land, were frequently bestowed by the
