Their speeches a ere addressed to the farmers within some few hours of each other. The champions, we may be sure, chose and arranged the arguments, and adopted the tone, most likely to be caociusive and impre gave. And in order to form &judgment, not of the i dative t alents of th e orators (that is a question of secondary moment), but of the Justice, plainness, cogency, and sincerity of either cause, these two speeches eminently suffice. That of Mr. DisRAELI was very jocular, very per motel, very pointed in wads, indulging in great feli city of pun and variety of oonandlum. It was epi grammatic rather than argumentative, and well calcu lated to tickle the ears which it might not be worth while to persuade. But statement, explanation, rea soning, there was none. Mr. Comore's, on the contrary, was a tale as plain and as unvarnished as ever even he delivered. His speech did but set forth a series cf tic's, patent, irrefra gable, and the mere marshalling of them was argument sufficient. This year of terrible distress. in which free trade was to ruin every interest, Mr. CAMDEN pissed in review. lie asked, and answered, what was the state of the revenue—of trade, as evinced by experts and imports, anu by the sufficiency of employment — of pauperism. Had gold been drawn out of the country to pay for wheat? No; manufactures suf ficed, and left gold t 3 overflow the Bank, and be at the disposal of landed or other borrowers. Free trade had, in fact, benefited every class--eave the landlord and the farmer. The landlord qaerilli Mr. COBDEN stated with all plainness : —it war a cineetion of rent. The English farmer, as Mr. Ply/ULU justly observed, ought to be put on an equality with the foreizner, and how was this to be done. but by giving him the raw ma terial, land, at a price nearer to that of the rest of the world? Is this reduction a great hardship or injustice to the landlord? Take any of the the nits respecting rent, even that evecielly made for the landlords, v:z., that rents have not biers raised arbit-arily or through monopoly, but merely from the tieces4ty and in creased expense of cultivating infer,or boils. Does not this avow that a surplus value, that is surplus rent, has been given to average soils, more than they require or could command bat for the accu mulation cf wealth and papeation, and the circumscribed area of the land ?Is it u nfair to coun teract and undo this unnatural and unneeded high price of land ? Ab ee all, is it us Mir to undo it in a caseitry and at a time when every other source of profit has been diminiehed, when manufa-surers have hem for yeas Lying on capital, and when good money brings but twc-and-a-hilt per cent. ? So much for the landlords' case. As for that of the tenant fanners, it may Five awful to find two such men as Mr. COBDEN and Mr. DIsRAELI takirig the earns view of them. Bath declare the farmer to be a middle—that is, a commercial sr msnufee'tsing, class, purchasing and working raw material. " When you talk of the middle class," bele! Mr. DIsRAELI, "don't exclude the farmers." And who, indeed, dues exclude them, save themselves P The misfortune is, that with middle-class interests they have no middle-class sympathies. Though pos sessed of capital Keough to buy, and skill enough to use, their own agriculture: implements and materials, they take all their ietelleettial implements, their rea amine maven and economical principles, from the landlords. The farmzis ought to be an independent race; it is necessary fix their thriving and doing jus• tee to them selves and the country that they should be so. But tojudge by their candact. we should conclude that they are as much in the power of the laodlcrd to crush and to starve them as the Irish collier is. Now, if this really be the Cell-, if the farmers who see their de penance cannot Alike it off—if they dare not to ask that moderately reduced rent which everyone must see to be the true and natural remedy for depression probabl7 but temporary—if they are too much in the social and political thrall of the pro prietors of land to be allowed to speak tueir sentiments or consult their interests, why then farmers do not deserve to be reckos.ed amongst the intelligent and independent middle clam of the country. On the con trary, they doge de themselves to the conditio:i of a dependent and a lower clue, ex:sting as much on the mercy and consideration of their lords, as the day labourer or the menial. We are sorry to say that in these respects the farmers have their character to redeem, and with it the character of England, of which they necessarily form the pith and the element. The arguments that are palmed upon them, and even applauded by them, whether coming horn the out-and outer., like the Marquis ot GILUBV, or from the halt and-hailer., like Mr. DISRAELI, are insulting to their intelligence. If Mr. CoLDEN'S speech does nut open their eyes to the thimble-rigging of the different manoeuvres and schemes inveuted to lead them on and amuse them, and keep rents up and farmers quiet, then we shall despair of Anglo-Saxon intellect, independence, and acuteness. The exposure of the " dodge " to throw the local rates off real property and burden them upon floating and industrial capital, in direct contravention of all the experience, the logic, and the tendencies of the age, was so complete, that we feelingly congratulate the member for Bucks on the wisdom of his absence, and the prudence which he showed and avowed in taking time till the meeting of parliament to consider, and digest, and prepare some kind of answer. IT is encouraging to note that the very journals which chid us when first we drew attention to the corruption of European society in India, are them selves now eager to expose its rankness. They came to curse, and have left to pray. And well they may ; for each successive mail furnishes new examples of the immorality, the venality, and the unscrupulous ness that prevail throughout the governing class in that vast dependent empire. So long, indeed, as war continued, the glitter and noise of military events con cealed and silenced all such occurrences; but with the return of peace public attention has become riveted on an embarrassed government and a demoralised public service ; and, if tranquillity can only be preserved until the present charter expires, there are men in paella nt who will call the East India Company to a strict account ands severe reckoning of the great powers and the lucrative privileges which the directors have exer cised at least for their own personal advantage, if not for the benefit of India or England ; and who will not judge of their rule by the extent of new ter ritory which has been acquired, but by the material happiness and moral improvement which has been promoted. A governing body at home so greedy of patronage ' that it lately removed some ten or fourteen pursers' clerks who had been mAde captains! clerks by the Bombay government, in order that it might send out its own prutigh from this country—a government abroad with au =raid deficit of about two millions sterling in us treasury, or I.9th of its general revenue—an irresponsible and unverified sys tem of piper administration carried on by servants who take no real interest in the people or the caturry over which they preside—a land revenue system which depresses cultivation, has destroyed the race of native gentry, and impover ish. s the cultivators—a polies system which is a source of oppression and dread to the people it is meant to protect—a iodic-is' system wholly alien to the wants as f feelings of the country—a mditary service steeped in debt, end characterised by gambling ••••..4 civil service only lees embarrassed because even more highly paid—inordinate powers vested la Bowan at the seats of governments which istarsept the knowledge and information that ought to reach the Governors of the various Presidencies direct —a mercantile system at Calcutta that encourages, by making advances on goods, excessive speculation-- -and throughout India a people deteriorating in every element of happiness and anitfort—these are the chief characteristics of the East Win Companli government; as they are—alas I—eells requiring the industry and the genius of goods'' , •lltieuta adequately to describe their intensity and extent. ' It is in vain to attempt to accoturtfor such a state of things in any other way than by reeking their causes in the radically defective and vicious system of government of the Rut India Company : Corrupt, secret, and self-seeking at home, it is corrupt, costly, hurtful, and irresponsible in India. Who are the Directors? Is there one of them pre eminently distinguished in those qualities out of which statesmen ars composed ? Is there amongst them a great general—a protound financier—an able adminis trator—even a first-rate merchantor banker, or lawyer P Does the court contain a single individual in whom any public confidence would, or cote d, be reposed in our own domestic affairs? Are they not, as a body, per sons notorious in the City of London for intellectual insignificance? Were not several foremost in the race of unlawful gains during the bubble year 180-6 as their predecessors were in 1825? Are not many of them now to be seen in the City running from public com pany to public comp.ny eager to secure their guineas lern the line be drawn in the attecdance books of these corporations? Is not their only claim to importance the immerse amount of annual patronage which they have individually to dispose of ? Have we not seen one of them convicted of a misdemeanour in selling his patronage? And if the Court of Direc tors be so composed, what reasonable expectation can there be that its fruit will be otherwise than bitter —that its measures can be worthy of the task consigt ed to its wisdom—that its administration can promote the happiness of the people entrusted to its rule ? The directors are, however, only the natural, the inevitable consequence of the system under which they are chosen. We might just as reasouably give the holders of Consols the elec tion of the imperial government, as leave the choice of East India Directors in the hands of the bolds.rs of India Stock. People place their money in that stock as an invecinent, for a dividend of 101 per cent., guaranteed by the pubic faith of this country ; not because they take the slightest interest in the affairs of India. Look at a list of East India pie prietors : many are women, many minors, some tune ' tics, several foreigners living abroad ; and of tf e number who are none of these, there is not one out of fifty who can be supposed to have the least knowledge of India, or its teem ing, and industrious people. The only concorn they have in India is its patronage. Yet it is in leach a constituency that the legislature reposed for twenty years the election of East India directors. And the system by which their suffrages are gained is such as no high-spirited or really competent man would have recourse to. Canvassing, promising, cringing, fawning, flattering, deluding fur yaws:— such is the machinery, such are the arts, such the practices by which directors are chosen. Who can won der that men 1 - ke MOUNTsTUART ELPIIINSTONE, for exomple, never sought a seat amongst them ? Rather, who can be surprised the., with such preliminary re quirements, the C •urt of Directors is composed of its present unworthy and iccompetent materials ? Preprietore' votes are repaid by &rectors' ',Aron age ; and India is inju-ed by tie sjs:em which bestowa the election of its government on persons who have no earthly qualification for the euffirage they enjoy and profit by. The men favoured by Indian appointments oy regard them as pieces of good fortune, bc . iught, if no, with money, by merit y's work. Without special re oommendatiun for employment in India, they rani; take the smallest reel interest in its affairs. Sure to rite iu their profession if they lice, they have no stimulus to exertion. With the certainty of in growing rank, salaries, sad larxe retiring pensions, irrespective of merit or desert, all motives to teenier, pradecce, and early economy are a ithdrawo. With examples of high living on every side, and with fa eility of raising winey in every quarter, the first six moths residence in Innis often plant,te young mei, into pecuniary embarrassment from which many never escape, and which give a tone of un ecrupulowness to the whe.e career of the services. The more they rise in their profeoeions the leas super vision are they subjc:ted to, and the more irrespon sible do they beeome. The instruments of asr stem of paper government, their reports and public documents are attuned to the wants and wishes of their rulers ; and three wants and se Ph, is may be snmmed up in a sentence—get more rcrenue and keep things rpnet. The higher officers of the civil servic , , duelled with powers unknown to Euroreou functier.- *ries even in Russia, feel that their preceed ings are unverified ; that the I,cal governments entirely depend on them for informatien ; and that the home government delight in gbec:ng descrip tions; Ind they act accordingly. Cadet such a sys tem, how can the real condition, the wants, the op pressions, and the deterioration of the people ever become known to the best-intentioned Goveinor general? The higher officers of the military service are scarcely less irresponsible: end it now turns out that in B ngal they have been in the constant habit of dictating to the commander-in-chief the very cantonments of their regiments. These are not imaginary pictures. They arc the sober realities brought over by every mail. Thus, lee example, the last two mails tell us how the head of the Calcutta Stamp-office is now on his trial, and likely to be convicted, for offering to sell the patronage in his department to rich natives ; how a major in the Indian army has been dismissed the service for gam bling and lying; how the judge and the magistrate of a district are charged by a European resident with offences almost too numerous mud too horrible to men tion; how Sir THOMAS TCHTON ' late the registrar of the Supreme Court, after having spread ruin and misery amonest thousands, is now applying to be relieved from 120,0001. of debts, and is meanwhile living in splendour and luxury in the walls of a gaol, where he is pursuing his profession ; how Colonel Paw, a director of the Benares Bank, borrowed on worth less security not less than 70,0001. oat of the 90,0001. which constituted its entire assets, and when he had ruined both it and himself, obtained his discharge by the Insolvent Debtors Court almost as a matter of course; and how the commander-in-chief is about to retire fr om an army because his power to re form it is restricted by the system of Leadenhall-street. The same mails, too, tell us of something even more important regarding the great causes of the failure of the cotton culture experiments ; but that significant story must be reserved for another opportunity; it will come, however, opportunely, for Manchester meets on the 17th to consider the question. THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 11, 1850. MEXICAN DEBT. In the accounts from Mexico remind by the Iliber nia steamer, it appears that the minister of finance had presented to Congress a new plan for the settle ment of the home and foreign debt of the republic, and which he prayed might be entered upon before any other measure. The substance is as follows: I. The government will proceed to liquidate all the public debt of the nation, internal and external, fizing its consum mation at the earliest possible pereed. It will forthwith verify its total amount, excluding all creditors who do not present their claims within a given period. 2. The government will make a general arrangement of both debts on the followitg bass: " That the capital of bath debts shall be reduced to 110,000,000 dols. "That this capital shall bear interest of not mere than 3 per cent. per annum. Th tt this arrangement be effected with the consent of the creditors " 3. The government will proses i to make those retrench ments and araelkratiens which it may see convenient, both as respects public disbursements, as in the direction and admi nistration of all the sources of revenue. 4. The government wilt assure itself for as long a period as possible, by a scrupulous public administration, an effective annual income of 1,600,000 dole.; and, moreover, the neces sary funds to pay the interest of the debt with the mac reli gious punctuality. 6. For the objects contemplated by this act, the govern ment will apply the indemnity owing to the republic by the United States, and all its present revenuer. 8. The government will immediately establish a eyeless of direct or indirect taxation, so that the product may cover the deficiency which may remain after it has been reduced to the lowest figure possible. 7. The government restrictions shall bees follow,: "It shall discharge no credit with any particular funds or wild the general revenue, separately from the arrangement made with all the creditors of the treasury. " It shall create no public office, dispose of no public fano ' tine, and assign no higher salary than that provided by the law. " It shall not farm out any portion of the present revenue, nor of that which may be created by the present act. " It shall not pay a higher interest than °Behalf per cent. monthly, and this in race other case than for sums actually re mind in specie." FRANCE. PAM% Tavasnax,4l.fie The debate of yesterday en primary teashers tba n, such a chaos at contending opinions and votes, sea with difficulty even be understood from the repels of the Montan.. Vs the whole, however, the law of M. Parka received such modifications as to render it far lees efficacious for the purposes intended. M. Montigny's amendment, granting the right to com munal councils to appoint the teachers, was carried, with the consent of M. Paritu •, but another amend ment, by M. Salmon, and which the minister opposed, was carried also, by which the peed, before cashier ing a teacher, must take the advice of the committee d'arrondiesement. However, as the Debate, truly says, the prefet will not be obliged to follow the ad vice given. Still, the fact of the amendment having passed cannot be at ell pleasing to government, and mustincrease the ire of the President against the Assembly. The debate was resumed to-day. Several amend ments having been referred back to the com mittee last evening, M. Beugnot, its reporter, ap peared to-day at the Winne to explain the re sults of its deliberation. The committee had taken successively into consideration an amendment proposed by M. Fanitrier proposing the temporary suspension of teachers by the prefet from one to six months ; and one by M. Mortimer Ternaux that there should be no suspension. The committee had re jected these amendment!, and proposed one them selves, depriving the suspended teacher of his pay during the time of @lupe:mon. M. L'Herbette opposed the decision of the committer. The Assembly then deliberated upon the second clause of the government motion thus worded: . . . "The suspension is pronounced by the pretest, with or without suspension of salary." The debate was proceeding at post-hour. M. de Girardin was sent for to-day by the com mittee on ministries. This committee had been formed on the motion of M. Betting de Lancastel, to examine the question raised in the constitution as to the definitive number of ministers who are to govern the state. The committee, chosen from the body of the Chamber, is a deliberative body, and not a com mittee of inquiry. It is therefore an unibull thing to eall before it a stranger who is not a member of the Legislative Assembly. The fact of calling M. de Oirardin before this committee may be taken as con firmatory of certain rumours which have been spread as to the influence of that gentleman in certain quar ters. lie is a pietism, as you no doubt know, of a plan which he has "written up" for a long time in the Prase, by which the government of the state should be intensted to three ministers only. It is improbable that his plan will be adopted, but the step taken by the committee, of calling him before them, is a curious one, and as such 1 give it. M. de Garardin is one of those who have been advising the President to start popular measures. Since socialism is progressing and inevitable, let the flood come hom above, and not from below. Socialism may be compared to a prairie fire, burning all before it; but if it: the centre of the prairie a solitary individual clears a circle round him, and then se's the fire to the circumference, it recedes, and he is saved. Socialism may be likened to the fire; the means proposed by M. do Girardin are to let a adalusm go from the centre to the circumference, in stead of from the circumference to the centre. The President is doubtless wntswhat imbued with these ideas. But can he carry them out? .tt all events, this somewhat explains the hostility between hint end the nisjoriiy. The The .tre Francais is cr mn:s . ng a great trap. dy, entitled ' Charlotte Corday," in which all the cele brated tact. of the revolution cf '92 will be repre sented—such as Vergniaud, l)anton, Robespierre, and Mast. It is supposed by n any, who have sten the piece, that it must either be Interdicted or it will create great uproar in the theatre. The author is M. Poetised, who has written several gad tragedies. The following is the text of the proposition pre sented br General Subervie, and MM. Charms, Testi fuer, Milotte, A. Bruchner, Versigny, and Emile l'eao, relative to the increase of the pay of the sub officers of the army Art. I.—From April 12, 1840, the pay of the sub-sfllcers of all ranks .and of all srms shall be increased by one-fifth in all ouritions. Art. 2.—Ths augmentation of expense resulting from the chat ge in the rate of pay shall b c vela by means ut a emote in the numb. r of . privates, ?Iterated on the effective kroposed in the rectified budget of tie minutcrof war. The committee on the bill ni tra:spurtation for lift assent led yesterday.. It has terminated the dis cussion cn the choice of a punaehment to replace that of civil death. The resoile:cn adopted by the corn- Mace is u follows: "Transportation fur life shall n..t imply civil death. Prev4iunally, and until a law shall have regulated the civil state of prisoners con demned to transportation for lite, they shall not be subject to legal interdiction." The miniver of justice gave a grand dinner on Tu , sday, at which the President of the Republic was pre,ent. Amuog the other Muesli sere M. 'lupin, the President of the National Assembly, the minis ters, the Archbishop of Pari4, General Changarnier, several high law functionaries, the prefects of the Seine and of police, d:c. In the evening a number of representatives, maeistrates, members of tle- corps dipl.matique, and hie um were received by M. and Madame Rouher. The President of the Republic did not retire until a very late hour. The t nien of the Mans gives some further details of tt.o late revolt of the pupils in the military college of La Fleche. The cause of the outbreak arises from the hab;ts of indiscipline which had been introduced into the establishment after the revolution of Feb ruary. Political clubs had been permitted, which materially tended to interrupt the studies. Other abuses were also introduced. By the aid of com plaisant and well-paid agents, the pupils were in the habit of r cawing supplies of wine, spirits, tobacco, Sze., and secret orgies took place equally preju.iicial to their studies, their health, and the cause of order. The new commandant of the school, being desirous of putties an end to these abuses, adopted those ener getic measures which led to the revolt. The glass works at Rive-de-Gier are now more busily employed than they have ever been. "'Phis amelioration," says the National de Meet, " is due not only to the general tranquillity now enjoyed throughout the whole country, but to the active sur veillance of the police in that district. The number of socialists arrested in that hot bed of communism during the last year amounts to 200." The Moniteur du Soir says it has heard that the 3rd February has been fixed on as the day for the elections to replace the representatives condemned by the High Court of Versailles.

TURKEY. We have the following from Belgrade : " Simich has been named Ministar of Justice. Since it has been understood that the Porte will finally make con cessions to Russia on the question of the refugees, a more Rubino tone prevails here, and the PniaLe is said to have jeer signed a declaration to the effect that he will not allow young Servians educated abroad to ba educated anywhere but in Russia." CONSTANTINOPLE, DEC. 19.—The Russian steamer, the Crimea, arrived here ou Saturday from. Odessa. She has brought the satisfactory information that the Turco-Russian differences, so far Irom assuming a more serious 'spent, are tending to a pacific termination. The Crimea brought des patches for the Russian Legation and for the Sublime Porte. Though not acqusinted with the actual contents of these despatches, we hove nevertheless learnt that all the persons who leave taken refuge in the empire, in consequence of the Hungarian war, are to be expelled, with the excep tion of those who haws embraced Islamism. There now re:gains only a few of the details to b 'settled, and these will probably be alumna at Constantinople by the exertions of the Porte, and of the chief of the Russian lege tion accredited in this residence. Several couferencts have trice place between the Grand Vizier and the Minister (or Pori itn Affairs, with the representativse of Engirt(' and of the French republic. The exigencies of Sir Stratford Can ning, and the dignified aad at the same time modcrire atti tude of General Anpich, have been much spoken of.—Joser nal de COetileeCe, Antwerp. GERMANY. ROYAL MESSAOHro THE PRUSSIAN CHAMBERS. The Cologne Gazette of yesterday contains a tele graphic message from Berlin, dated Wednesday- at noon, stating that the royal message had joist been delivered to the Chambers. The message expresses the hope that the revision of the constitution will be concluded, and that the Upper Chamber will be defi nitively constituted during the present session, in order that the oath to the constitution may be t aken by his Majesty. A memorial was also presented to the Chambers anstaining the alterations which the ministry pro pose to make in the constitution. A pairis is pro- po:ed far the Upper Chamber, but the Second Chamber is to possess the initiative in all money matters, as in England. In the second edition of the same paper are farther electric telegraphic despatches from Berlin, stating the principal alterations which the ministry propose to make. The despatches in question say that the pro posed alterations are laid before the Chambers for their consideration, but they are not to be cansidered an indispensable conditions to the oath to be taken to the constitution. 1. Par. 26 and 29 are to be struck out. (Par. 26 says a special law is to regulate education. Par 29. If the author of any illegal publication is known, the publishers, vendors, printers, commissioners, &c. are Rot to be prosecuted.) 2. Par. 35 and 36 are to rue thus:—" The army includes all the divisioas of the standing army and Lortehreer. In cue of war the king can call out the Lane/sewn. Toe law provides for the further particulin." 3. Par, 105 (which Create of the parochial circle district and provincial associations) is to receive the followieg additioi,—" For the maintenance of peace, audio accordance with a special law for the pumas", a parochial protective or civic militia may be established by parochial resolution " 4 Par. 42 is to be altered rui follows; " The creation of feudal tenures is prohibited; those is existence ere to he changed into free pi...peel. The law will facilitate the change of the Fidel Contmisse, sod reenlist° the institution of new once. Until then, the creation of any new ones is prohibited." 5. The paragraph determining the reepon ibility of mi nisters is to run thus: " The ....this° in are responsible to ttie king end the country." 6. Wi h Teepee to the Chamber, the present rules are to be changed into the followieg: " The king convokes the Ch ,nsh a. and prorogues their sittings. Ile can aiveeve both or either. After the 'spies of 60 days the electors aro to assemble; after 90 days, the deputies." 7. Par. 64 is to receive the illoviog addition : " Finon tie' p-ejects are to be laid first before the Second thanth r," 8. With resent to the Upper Chamber, the fell ,e ing is the proposed alteration:—" The Upper Chamber condo.

It is as follows : , - - - Sire,—The harmony fortunately existing between the prince and his people is a fact of ancient date in the monarchy of Savoy. The interests of the nation ware ever sacred to the prises. This people loved a monarchy whose aim it was to improve the m oral and physical condition of the country , to maintain its independence and guard its honour. This fait, which is rare in the history of nations, will, we are amend, never cease to salmis.. Nay, we are convinced that the constitutional system, happily introduced by the mag nanimous Charles Albert, will offer the people more fre quent opportunity of confirming it; and already among other proofs of affection, your majeety justly reminds us of the electors, who hastened in numbers to answer your appeal in order to take a part in one of the most hoportant acts of political life, the election of deputies. The cor.filence of the saiim is worthily placed in you, sire, who with such intense affection and determined zeal have united your destiny with ours. Your majesty may rely open meeting with the Dame harmony in the deliberations of parliament, which will be carried on with the conscientious sincerity which iOlllllll the basis of good constitutional government, and will lacili tate interior reforms, increase the public credit, and promos our friendly relations with foreign powers. To maintain in its integrity our liberty and independence, while we cJesider you, sire, as the first champion in that cause ; to defend re ligion, without which liberty perishes, and society is dis solved; to promote elementary instruction, that the propli may learn to know their rights and duties, end to iliitinguish true liberty from insubordination to every authority, their true friends from those who would attempt to corrupt and mislead them; to improve, as far as circumettne , s u ill ad mit, the condition of the poorer classes; to provide auainst the penury of the treasury without injuring the sources or reproduction ; to introduce into the public departments the rreorms which are called for by the constitutional sys tem. Such are, sire, the points to which in our opinion the attention of government and the severe scrutiny of parlia ment should be turned. The Senate promises you, sire, its prompt and loyal support. It has full conlideoce in thi. king and con‘titu ion ; it is cot vinced that this generous and prudent nation will show Europe that it is fit for the t t r aise of the pricious rights which it has been calla t upon to SAXONY.—Letters from Leipsic of the ith inst., in the K6lner Zeitung, mention a rumour of the Kin of Saxony's intention of sbdicatii.g in favour of his neph w (the son of his brother, Princo John), who, it is likewise asserted, intends to Fiblista a gencral amnesty for all political criminals.

ITALY. NAPLES.—Our correspondent writes as follows: NAPLES, Dec 25. It is now confidently asserted by thoje who hang about the Pope, that his holine-s will return to Ittime on the 20th of January ; whether this assertion is founded on communications received from the French cabinet I am unable to state ; if so, the s dccidel atti _ tads assumed by General Baraguay d'Hilliers is a strange contradiction. Who can calculate on French policy ? The European harle•min may appear from some new trap-door of diplomacy and change the scene in an instant. I know every effort has be n used to persuade the President of the French Re public to alter his policy. The l'artici camarilla if they have not used hone ty hare at least availed themselves of cunning. My impression is that the Pope is as far from the Eternal city as he was when he abandoned his own convictions and threw him , elf into the arms of despotism. The Ycapoli an cabinet is indifferent to the Pope personally, but his return to Rome under the protection of France may involve a policy contrary to that of Ferdinand 11. ; added to this, the elections in Piedmont are anything but con soling, since it is pretty clear now a representative government will exist in northern Italy. Can the " priest party " cor quer all these difficulties ? Can Austria herself continue to uphold a system in Italy which she is afraid to adopt at home ? These are the oral questions which make the King of Naples and his prisoner, Pio Nino, halt, and upon this ground I inclined am to believe his holiness will not be allowed to return to Rome for the present—certaiuly those who surround him will not hesitate to plunge " the vicar of Christ" into the deepest degradation for their own ends. Gaeta received the reputation of the Grand Duke of Tuscany, and Gaet t and Portici will entomb the popularity of Pius IX. His holieess has performed the Christmas cere monies of the church at Caserta, and yesterday the pontiff received his majesty at I'ortici, where the royal family dined. While these events have taken place, the ecclesias tical authorities of Naples have, I am informed, come to a strange conclusion, viz., they have addressed the Pope, praying his holiness to declare the church independent of the state in the kingdom of Naples. I am unable to sift the reason of this new move, since hitherto the priests have acted as political spies, and assisted the government in all its retrograde move ments. When I say the priests, I mean those imme diately incorporated in the abuses of the old system; there ate many, in fact most of the intelligent, who are anxious to see a thorough reform, and who still look to Pio Nino, if he is spared, to bring about a new and more Christian policy in ecclesiastical affairs. There are elements at work, however, to combat the growing . spirit of the people, and in Naples Father Spaccapietra is occupied in watching the thirst for biblical truth ; in fact, a systematic police is emplojed to scan the sentiments of the people. I heard a pre ocher a few days since from the pulpit of a church exclaim " Mind what you are about ; you may crc long fall into the deplorable state of the English, and lose all hope of salvation." SICILY.—We learn fromour correspondent that the decree placing a tax on corn-mills and windows was so ill received that a wide conspiracy was formed to op pose the government. In Catania especially the people had determined to combat the decree. Military assistance being sent for no outbreak occurred. The fears of Filangieri were such as to induce him to 1 , send for more troops from Naples, and a considerable force left accordingly. Three facts prove pretty clearly the " popularity" of the Lord Lieutenant and Ferdinando 11. in Sicily. VENICE.—The Venice Gazette of the 2nd publishes a notillostion,isnnouncing that& free port was opened, on the Ist inst., in the island of Ban Giorgio Maggiore. WEST INDIA MAIL.

BRITISH GUIANA. We have files of the Royal Ca:elle, published at Georgetown, British Guitns, as late as the Cth of December. The Ga:elle says:—" In consequence of Ow ray he5...3- rains that have fallen in the course of the present year, our planters will sustain a miens loss in this year's crop of sugar, the deficiency bring estimated at from eight to ten thousand hogsheads." THE RIVER PLATE. ni the United States, accounts have been received from the Argentine republic, announcing that a remonstrance has been addressed bg the cabinet of itcsas to the Austrian empire against its recognition of the independence of Para guay. The tollowing note, dated the 19th of October, was appended by the Arzentine government to its first remon strance, which had bccn unanswered by the Austrian government : . . . " Since the government a.ldressed to that of your excel • lency its previous remonstrance, tho seditious and unjust proceedings of the governor of the Argentine province of Paraguay have been aggravated by the scandal of having rejected every pacific attitude and friendly negotiation which the Argentine government has all along proffered to him, merely opposing the unlawful segregation of that member of the Argentine family. "The governor of Paraguay has raised an unjustifiable armament to aggravate rebellion; he has insulted in the riv.rs the Argentina if itg ; he has seized the important island of Apipe, in the centre of the river Parana; and, without any previous manifesto of war, or explanation of any kind, he has invaded the adjoinhig Argentine province of Corrientes, rallying round the standard of Paragnaj an re bellion all tumultuary and revolutionary characters, in outer to set the Argentine Confederation in a vast blaze of anarchy. None of the territories invaded and surreptitiously taken possession of by the Uovernor of Paraguay belongs to, nor has ever belonged to that province, but to the two provinces of the Argentine Confederation—Corrientes and Nisiones. " In such a state of things, the Argentine government, I bat ked by the ardent decision of the people, is oreparitiu a land and naval armament, in order to put down that ini quitous rebellion, and ears the Argentite state trout the ruin with which it is threatened by turbulent men, who seik to repeat in this part of America the same scandals with which the revolutionists of Europe are now afficting that hemisphere, it being their a kit to substitute, in the place of the eternal principles of justioe and order, doctrines at once seditious and subversive of everything lawtully established, and to rahe up the most disorderly demagogues in the seats of reapensible governments, established by law and the publie voice. - - '' - ii.is excellency the governor cannot but hope, with great reliance on the rectitude and wisdom 01 ii.l. and It A.M., that, ou being made acquainted with the cue, its character and its bearing on the conservative principles o nations, which his Majeaty, without sinning blood or trea sure, is now invoking in Europe against the dissolution of his states, by segregations of its constituent members, the Argentine government will, on the part of his Ma jesty, meets with that justice which it claims on behalf of the Confederation. It is further persuaded of the favour able reception its reclamation will base in the high councils of the Austrian government, when his Majesty shall be pleased to take into consideration that the governor of the province A Paraguay not only attempts to de tach it seditiously and unlawfully limn the Argentine nation, to which it belongs, by violating the fundamental treaties and organic statutes of this nationality, hut that be has a•lopted the ilisaolviug and revolutionary system which now distracts the civilised world; thus rendering himself 1 unworthy, in every respect, of any regard from governments which, from their positio n and principles of order and . peace, occupy a distinguished place among the nations of the world, and are bound jointly and reciprocally to 'cut themselves to avert the misfortunes of humanity, by respect ing the rights of others with the same interest with which they maintain their own. " God preserve your excellency many years. " FELIPE Attme,s," Zbe Court. WiNDSOR, JAN. 10. Ifer Majerty walked this morning in he Si pe3 and Windgor Park.
