Louis PaILIPPI, departed this life some time previous. The latter was a great vest ; the shuffling off the mere man's mortal coil is bat a small one. His friend., however, may make a huge funeral pile of his private virtues, which were most exemplary in the narrow circle of his friends and his dep,ndents. Therein, indeed, he kept • kind of preserve of all the virtues. Bat beyond the do main, beyond the paling which immediately sur rounded the vicinity of his household, he allowed few of the.. elites, to stray. And he can, perhaps, be best characterised as a politician, by saying that a s each he was the direct contrary of what he was as a pare de jemille. There is no greater proof, perhaps, of the profound anintelligence of our age, than the worship which was paid to him as a politician. Never did Oriental Brahmins build op for their idol a greater or • blinder masa of adoration than the priests of European politics who lead and create opinion in all its capitals, reared up for Loom Pinurre. And yet this great idol of the liberal conservatives, as they call themselves, spent the eighteen years of his reign astride tte great country oa which he Weighed and over which be swayed like a nightmare. Throughout that time not one great or generous idea ever seemed to have germed in his mind. Of domestic policy, beyond the cajolery or bribery of • deputy, he had none. Of the ronditioa, the wants, the economy, the fermenting minds of his people, neither he nor the statesmen who served him knew aught. He and they actually lived and governed over a mese of volcanic matter in fusion and in ebullition, bat covered over with certain layers of social earth, fair and verdant to behold. These worthies were delighted and contented with the appearance of the surface, nor ever thought to sound the depth, to try the temperature, or analyse the elements of the lava below. Their sole anxiety was to stop every aperture, and stick their lois de rigueur in every cranny. By this they merely accelerated the explosion. And amidst the many phenomena of that catastrophe, there was none more portentous than the bursting of that huge bobble, the kingcraft of Louts Pilau - Tr. _ _ The fact is, the very essence and end of govern ment, the development, the foresight, insight, and eontentment of • people's wants, were utterly un known to the Solomon of London drawing-rooms and Parisian saloons. He believed, with several other gnat men by the by, that policy meant diplomacy, and nothing more. As much a legitimist at heart as CHARLES the SECOND was a Roman catholic, Louts PHILIPPE felt convinced that he bad filched a throne, and how to keep his balance there was his sole object. Of the soil beneath him he knew little, es we said, and cared lees. But of the Powers around him is Europe he wss fully cognisant, knew their weaknesses and their strength, their prejudices, their follies, and their magnanimity, where it existed. Amongst these be played, making use of Englai.d in the first years of his reign, as the only government that could aid and favour his parrenu and intent kingdom. As by degrees, however, he gained strength, years of possession and prestige, then he lung off the English crutch on which he leaned, and which had actually served him as an instrument to subju gate Europe north and south of him, Belgium and Spain, to his wilL Thus armed with the very power which we had provided for him, he flung himself into the alliance of the absolutist powers, and was em boldened by his friendship with them to play England and Spain, and his own relative, the young Queen of STAIN, one of the filthiest and basest tricks that ever disgraced man or politician. England's disgust was great, but of course inoperative. But that of France was equally great, if not against the act, at least against him who perpetrated it. And never was the power of retributive justice shown more signally and awfully than in the ruin of all concerned in the Spaniels marriage from the suicide of their negotia tor BREssole to the dethronement and expulsion of LOuls PHILIPPE and his ministers. It is impossible to characterise the reign of the monarch without bringing forward these its great facts, and witbcut e :priming upon them • strong opinion. It is dictated by_ a sense of justice, not resentment. For the House of Orleans and its head have long ceased to excite any feeling of the kind. On the contrary, the de meanour of the fallen dynasty, and of all its mem bers, has been irreproachable. It has been dignified, resigned, betraying no captions humour, indulging in no recrimination, no vain boasts, no restless attempts or idle intrigues. The King just deceased was even supposed to recommend a postponement of the claims of tte Oni.nates to that of the legitimist heir. The Duch.n of ORLEANS would, however, never consent to ruch a compromise; and the decease of Louts PIIILIPPII is lilts to have the effect of communicating more life mad activity to the OaLaArge party. RIOARDINO the determination of the HORN of Comma to terminate the absurd policy that has so long eacrißoed the earnings of the white slaves of toil in this country, only to aggravate the sufferings of black slaves, as suSciently certified by the nature of the appeal Made by the ministry last maim to the forbearance of the liberal party, an opinion ad verse tench determination expressed by a committee of the House of Lords, is, we *Mk, utterly without Importance. It comes too late to be of any authority, and there is ousequeatly little "need to test its merits by examining the oompasitioa of the committee, the native and character of the "Adam it took, the mods la which it was recorded, and the sumesion of blun ders in the report it has awed. All that can be deduced en either side of the ques tion had so loog slue bees exhausted, that not even a Lords' sommittee, jadicionaly composed of the sur vivors of the WuJisaroacx party, of naval peers, and of lords much gives to the ta bernacle, presided over by a bishop who bee the wisdom of the serpent without the simplicity of the dove, and examining witnesses, nine.ten•lis of whom were pecuniari:y C3O• awned in maintaining the system the committee was intended to justify, can be supposed by the most zealous of its frauds to have elicited say new view of old and familiar facto. All that such an investige tioa really shows is that, like the BOITRBONR, the old WILBERFORCE party have forgotten nothing and have learnt nothing; there they were, with the old model of a slave-ship that did its duty sixty years ago. Still, u the evidence taken protases to bring down the subject to the latest date, cue question will orbs —what are the present state and prospects of Os slave trade, as therein depicted P The report recommends no new meanies of N. pression, and but little change in those now to vie; they are merely to be extended and perfected, " at or a very slight additional expense." To suppose such a recommendation, some efficiency of the mar sures now practised mei^ eirsume. Di manastsd ; sad the Lords' picked Irritants' tried bard to support laser tams to that effect. Most of this evidence related, however, to facts or occurrences two, three, and even four years old; just when revolutions, railway panics, potato rots, and bad grown harvests had thrown all trade, even the Olive trade, into unexam pled confusion, d order, and depression; there was, c3nsequently, no great strain on the consciences of post-captain■ and commanders in answering to the crumittee's satisfaction the leading questions put. Bishop WILBIRPOICS, to do him justice, was not very exacting ; whilst he was very suggestive : he almost answered his own enquiries. The reply of an s&sr, that, if he wen supplied without limit animas, and without stint with means, he mad k down the slave trade on the part of known to him, was obtained with Tegularity and unanimity ; and contributea the ensfortable oonadesom of theio lee debit An ' ememefel remit of the cruising 'yowls; 4 1 it eal4gild= trielL" this "fair trial," like the " &ir trial' 11.

Now, these reports are ludi= variance with the solemn @mutates of the that " the &wink enigma have greatly &edited ma crippled the slave trade r and with the general team of the naval evidence that the trade was in proms@ of redaction. From the Havannah the Commissary Judge writes on the first day of the present year that " the trade is certainly more vigetonely prosecuted than it has bees for some time past." More than 8,000 slaves were imported is 1840 against only 1 . 600 in 1848; and " not only have t he numbers brought in the peat year been es great, bed I regret to have to state that they are expected in great numbers this year also." Is the end of March the same gentleman " fears that the slave trade will contisse to be attempted on the strength of expected prate," frail " a demand arising for slaves for the crate plantations, which are now attended to on account of the higher price for that article." _ _ The Commis/R.7 Judge, at Sierra Leone, hopes, fewer slavers having bee. captured, that there must have been fewer en the cosst—a hope which the letter the Cummiessry Judge at Havana was then writing at the same data sufficiently destroys. The officer at Sierra Leone hes, however, fears as well as hopes; for he "fears that the only speedy and effectual mode of terminating the export likes trade in Africa is to root it up in Brasil"—by new treaties, of course. The commissioners at the Cape of Good Hope report that " to the best of their belief the slave trade hes been on the increase on the east coast of Africa during the year 1819;" and that " the traffic has beea very bris" . _ IQ Brasil we have now, of come, no 'lave trade eouniesiesen to make reports. Our nasals, how ever, send lists of vessels engaged in the slave trade, but, with the exception of Bahia, make no reports; be, however, of Bahia, says everything in remarking that " little fluctuation in their price has taken pine during the last four yew, which may be scanned for by the market. having been kept remark supplied." Ware such statements as these the cunning little' inn the Lords' committee have patched up in their report tumble at once to pieces. The latest official in halation, from there most interested in attributing sawn to our operations, is as decidedly against their anows, and therefore against the attempts to asotiaus them, an any ever furnished. Caplan Drxxxx and his colltagues may face the fads as fearlessly as they would a Frenchman's bullets, and manoeuvre their statements with se musk skill and daring as was ever shown in getting to windward of an enemy'. line : and our whig proido. &idea, whose consciences are contented with finding any one who will say, that " the system" may do geed. may see in their sophistry grounds for decently ed.

So we leave the G 4.& the melancholy satisfaction it can derive from finding that it is not quite alone in its opinions; but is in company, worse far than solitude, of the Standards and has evert _the countenance of the Bishop of OXFORD. compelled u he is to tack his reputation to the Blue Book, of which he is the parent. Tim great strength and the inherent weakness of the English Church are shown in a remarkable manner by the circumstances attending the foundation of the Canterbury Settlement Os New Zealand. This is emphatically a Church of England colony, and it is the only one. Virginia indeed laid claim to this title, but a little examination of the facts will show that the claim had no very firm foundation. The Can terbury Settlement, however, has a right to be entitled a Church of England colony, similar to that by which Pennsylvania is called a Quaker colony, or Otago a Free Church settlement. Its first batch of settlers conai.ts of a bishop and other clergymen, together with a number of emigrants of various ranks, all professing to belong to the com munion of the church of the mother country. Their motto is, that they colonise on Caurch of England principles. They voluntarily consent to pay a price for their land, three times as great u that putt in the government colonies. One-third of this pries is to be laid aside as an inalienable fund for the support of the church. We propose," says Lord Littleton, " to attain our ob• jeer by placing on the land the heavy charge of 11 per acre, to be denoted entirely to the religious end educational seta bliamente of the Chunk of England. We are satisfied that we alma prevent even enentits to the Church of England from bessomag purebasen of land, but we have thought it was the most practical and simple a f obtaining our °hint to requira boa every one of the purchasers of land ea samara of good will to t►e Church of England by sub siding to so cosesderable a sharp." This "coosiderable charge" has not, however, in terfered hitherto with the success of the project. Funds for an episcopal income (0001. per annum) have been found, emgrants have come forward, large numbers of the artstoe . rac7 and gentry have been busy in carryiog out the views of the founders, brilliant breakfasts have been given, and the scheme hes been Launched under triumphant auspices. Another point must be remarked. Some of the best and most prominent men of both parties in the church have united to farther this scheme. The Archbishop of Dustin and the Bishop of EXURB., Lord Lrrna.- TON and Loed ASHLEY, Archdeacon HAZE aid Dr. HOOK, men who, although they are united under one common bond of church union, are still divergent in matter of doctrine to a degree which would seem, at first sight, to preclude any possibility of joint agency, are found working side by side in this undertaking. Fund., Retrousse, good will, a desire to sink party feeling in the endeavour to promote the common good, are all visible. These "surely are symptoms of the strength of the Ensile& church to which we alluded in the commencement of our article. Why did we qualify our waertion by mentioning at the same time the inherent watknese of the 'stab liahmest The weakness of the church, then, is borne wittiest to, not enly in the stringent measures whisk this Church of England Association feels it n to take, to exclude large closes of Englishmen Lras partaking in the benefits which it offers, but by two remarkable facts, which the discussions on questioss relating to the colonies have brought out in clearer relief. -- The first is, that the English church of the present day does not correspond historically to the antecedent institution which occupies its place in the put annals of our history. We should be unwilling to say much on a subject of this ungracious nature ourselves, we will therefor* quote from a morning contemporary, who, writing on the same subject, expresses hims el f thus : We could seemly look round us at what the church is at home without asking ourselves, with doubt sad atiegiving, how a spline from sushi a stook would he likely to thrive [es the church of Ragland] whim trsasplaated to the !leek Mr of a &slaty, unsheltered by the fears of aseimot memo, and attachment, sad cut off from the golds. rills which nada the growth of the penal tree ?

This is a state of thins which the Church of England is at prefect powerless to prevent, and which 1. sufficient to prove the charged weakness, which adversaries and Mends are agreed in preferring against her. Now tU members of the church of all grades of opinion, who have united to farther the ends proposed by the Canterbury settlement have dose so under the supposition that the true idea of the church may be brought outstare full in the new colOny. They hope to show that there is power enough in the church, when placed under favourable auspices, to bunk the bonds which have hitless,* impeded its progress. It remains, then, to be consiered how far 1 the proposed plan is likely to conduce to this end, and what are the hindrances removable by legislative enactment, which the patrons of the scheme have a right to demand shall be put aside. 'Phis, however, most be the subject of a subsequent article. FRANCE. PARIS. SUNDAY EVENING. To-day being the festival of 8L Louis, the patron mint of the President, tho imam of the Invalid's have been tiring salvoes in honour of the fête. The ambassador of Nepaul was visited yesterday by General Lahitte, and to-day by M. Barash*. He is rather unwell, and did not aooompaoy his brother to Msbille. — fie President spent the 23rd and 24th at Nancy and Metz. At the latter place he was congratulated by M. Schmidt, deputed b 7 Xing Leopold for this purpose. The President will return to Paris on the 28th. The answer -which the Pree dent made to the mayor upon his arrival at Strasburg, was as follows: " I am come to these parts not to receive homage, bat to study the needs and to know the wishes of the country. lam come to encourage and support what there is of good, and to repress what there is of bad ; and in this task I shall count upon your assistance." You are already aware that the municipal council, by a majority of 18 against 8, rajocted all motions for a vote of money to defray the expenses of fetes given in honour of the President. The prefect, M. West, having presented the members of the lanai• cipal council, Louis Napoleon glanced at their hostile resolution in these words, addressed to the mayor, who stood at their bead : "M. mayor, I am very glad that the city of Strasburg has not put itself to any expense for my reception. I do not make this journey with the intention of imposing extraordinary expenses upon the towers through' which I pas', but in order to learn the wishes of their inhabitants. Your city offers to-day a very flue appearance." In the evening a grand dinner was given by the President at the prefecture. Among the personages present were the Princess Stephanie, Grand Duchess of Baden, Generals d'Hautpoul, Magnae, and Brilliet, MM. Dames and Bineau, M. West, the Prefect of the Bee-Rhin ; M. de ?tansy, French Minister at Frankfort ; M. de Bassano, envoy of Francs to the Grand Duchy of Bades, M. de Scbneck, master of the horse to the Grand Duke, who was sent to compliment Louis Napoleon on the part of his muter, M. de Reinhardt, French minister at Berne; M. d'Harcourt, French minister at State gard ; M. Engelhard, French consul at Mayence ; the bishop, the heads of the several constituted bodies, and the colonels of the regiments. After dieser, at eight o'clock, commenced the reception of the ladies of the city. The rooms of the prefecture were soon crcwded with ladies in bill dressm. But the event which created most sensation was a little surprise, which certainly does honour to the waggery of the Strasburgers. A tremendous, display of fire works had been gat up on the rampart of the Porte des Juifs opposite to the prefecture and theatre. The President's Rube, the Grand Duchess Stephanie, fired the train with her own fair hand : but imagine the disappointment and chagrin of the Presi dent's party, when they saw opposite to them, in im mense blazing characters, " viva LA REPUBLIQUE." Orders had been given that it should be " Viva le President," but General Tbouvenin, who commanded the artillery of the National Guard, the body which had the getting up of this flaming compliment, made the small, and not altogether, perhaps, unintentional blander of putting " Republique " in the place of " President." Just is Nelson turned his blind eye to the admiral's signal for retreat, so did General Thouvetin turn a deaf ear to the rt quest of M. Mocquart, the President's Potem kin. When questioned upon the matter be replied that " \rive la Republique!" was the device in most consonance with the feelings of the citizens of Stras burg. Many of the Strasburg ladies, however, seemed to enjoy the eight ezoeseively. The famous spire of the cathedral was illuminated, and the deli:ate lines of :the Gothic architecture, traced in flame, had a magical effect. At half-past ten the ladies got a hint to retire, which they did, thinking the hour wondrous early for shutting up, and at eleven the old cathedral was all dark again. Louis Napoleon slept in a room where there was one of the Emperor's comp-beds, but not on it. M. Schulmeister, to whom the relic belonged, made him a present of it. At eight the next morning commenced a round of receptions in the great room, where the President eamtd in great state, surrounded by the ministers, Magnin, the aides-de-camp, &a More than 350 old officers of the Empire, all decorated, had come from all pointed the department to salute the nephew of Napoleon, to whom they were presented in rapid rotation as they filed off. They ware headed by General Leclerc. The President addressed remarks to some, and caused pecuniary assistance to be given to others. After the officers came the non-commis stoned officers sad the molding net amnia i of whom the number was ee great that they could not be assembled in the room, brit were ranged in the warts of the prefecture la four long files, along which the President walked ac companied by the ministers, the preterit and Gen. Msgnan, followed by an -deamp, who distri• bitted pieces of gold. 600 fr. was given to a blind soldier led by his grand-daughter. The number of these old soldiers was from twelve to fifteen hundred. Finally they filed off, crying out " Viva Napoleon ! Viva l'Eropereur ! " On his return to the great room the President received from 360 to 400 mayors end deputy-mayors of the communes of the department. To some of these fuactiooaries he spoke themes. Many were dressed in the singular local costumes. The crowd outside received every retiring deputa tion with shouts of " Vire la republique ! " The leading incidents of the snood day of the President's stay at Strasburg were the grand review of the troops aad the national guard, sad the =at the banquet of the Chamber of KM The review took place at two, on the ground where Illeber's statue is erected. The National Guard was very numerous, and cried "Vin la Republique!" while the set up the rival shoat of " Viva le President 1" trl a: President went sad returned on horseback. He was accompanied by Gee. d'Hautpoul, Gen. Magnin, the Prefect, and a brilliant staff. The ministers of public works and :cosimeros followed in a carriage. The Polygon, where the review took place, is a vast spare between the Rhine and the gate of Austerlitz. An immense crowd of people bordered the whole way • front the city, and raised the shout of "Viva la Ra t I priblique.* At the moment of his arrival at the Polygon a young medical student advanced and erred r " A bas le Pwas resident I" Hs immediately arrested. • No enthusiasm was displayed by the troops, which , a 1131117Z 1 so , were eXeCtla , The Prot! of VAIN Oaarl or Viva la Iliptb- Ttw!alitber i tliropiettrele At Seat the 'te Mtn et the . ._ . by -. eentmerce . sad la -1884/ of Strasburg.

My colleague has Indicated to you some of our want*, and I should Mel that I toiled ie my duty if I did not signalise our wishes- Our wishes an, M. President, that eine the highest prerogative Mat the votes of six sat daemon have conferred is yes, you should employ your great power in liberating those of our tellow-citizeins who proms in exile and in Moon." The President interrupted M. Beckmann, saying that they who interfered with politl eel affairs should not disturb public order. You speak of disturbers et order, replied the citizen MrCIIIIIMM. I have know!' by experience how these matters are apprrciated. Exiled in Switzerland, acened at Strasbourg, I have been sequitted at Mete, and it is this sentimeat of co-fraternity which makes me insist on the liberation of those who, in trails or in prime, wait the justice of their country to re store them to their homes. DI Loafs Bonaparte replied that he Moe had known the rigours of wile and of prison. but that be could not decide at that moment. At Mulhausen, delegates of the workmen of M. Hofer, ex-representative, one of the consietedof the High 'Court of Vennilles, wearing craps on the arm and having their banner in mourning, presented to the President a petition for the pardon of M. Hofer, signed by more than 3,000 persons of Mulhausen. Another body of workmen, acting under the instiga tion of the mayor, presented a petition commenting on the electoral law of the 31st May, by which "the citizens, the most useful. the class essentially la borious, amongst whom are to be reckoned thousands of industrious Alsacians, have been affec•ed with poli tied ostracism," and calling on the President to make it a point of conscience to propose to the assembly the npeel of that law. it will be remembered that the first number of the Preterit, the periodical written by Ledru Rollin, Mazzini, and the French refugees at Loudon, was seized immediately after publication, on account of some seditious articles it contained, and especially of one written by Ledra Rollin. Yesterday Ledru I Rollin, M. Brutinel.Nadal, responsible editor, and M. E. Bri d re, printer of the Proserit, were brought to trial before the Court of Alines for having written, printed, and published the said articles. In so doing they, according to the indictment, committed the offences of exciting to civil war, attacking the rights and authorities of the National Assembly, exciting to hatred and contempt of the republican government, and attacking the respect due to the laws. Ledru Rollin did not appear, end judgment went by default. Brutinel-Nadal said that he accepted the retvonsibi lity of having published the article ; and Briere said that he had not read it before it was printed. The articles were read, and the avocatieterale showed the offences they contained. The lucubration of Le drn Rollin was very violent, and concluded by calling on the people to be prepared for revolt. An article by Mazzini, also extremely violent, was likewise read. The jary declared all the notated guilty, Briere with ex tenuating oircumstanees. Ledru Rollin aas con demned by default to a year's imprisonment and 3,000 f. fine; Brutinel-Nadal to six months' imprison- Iment and I,ooof fine; and Bridre to fifteen days' im prisonment and 500 f. fine. MONDAY EYZIMIG. By telegraphic despatches from Nancy and Metz we learn that the President having quitted Strasbourg at one on the 23rd, was received everywhere upon his passage with warmth and sympathy. At Sarrebourg. where he slept, an immense crowd assembled from all points of the arrondissement. At Luneville, notwith standing the heavy min that fell during all the morn ing of the 24th, numerous rural national gouda came to join the national guards of the city. At his en trance into Nancy, where the President arrived at seven on the evening of the 24:h, be f nod a triumphal arch erected by the workmen of the suburb with this inscription " God protect France. The workmen of the suburb to Louis Napoleon." An im mense crowd accompanied him to the prefecture. In the evening he assisted at a ball given by the city. The President arrived at Metz at two on the after neon of the 25th. The mayor and municipal council were at the terminus of the railway to receive him. The auguries drawn from the Strasbourg speech of Louis Napoleon are much more favourable to the repose of France than those which were gathered from his imperialist manifesto of Lyons. The modest and humble key in which he signifies that his chief ambition is to be an honest man, I. generally im hted to the severe Seisms which have been read to ion his voyage through Alsace. Meanwhile, an incident has occurred at Nancy, which has stirred a good deal of attention. A tremendous row occurred at the ball given in that city. An officer of the national guard, advancing towards Louis Napoleon, requested him to shake hands. •The President, it seems, was not in a humour to allow such a freedom to pass, and, declining the favour solicited, replied: "I em not in the habit of giving my hand to every one." Hereupon the of set up a shout of " Vive la Republique!" in which all present of that way of thinking joined. But the party of the President, having the advantage in point of force, vehemetely demanded that the officer should be turned out, a measure that was set about without the least cere mony, for the offender against etiquette was forth with collared by one of the President's suite, and, after a violent thole between the contending parties, thrust out of the festive meeting, while the entourp of the President raised the victorious shoat of " Vivo Napoleon!" As this untoward accident seemed to dash the spirits of the ladies, the President told them to be not at all alarmed at such a trifle, but to con tinue their dancing gaily. Nevertheless, a great por tion of the company disappeared, and loud cries of "Vive la Republique!" were heard outside in the street. The Nepanlese princes went this morning, in:grand costume, to return the visits of the Ministers of the Interior and Foreign Affairs. M. Fiorentino, who has been subjected to peones'. in consequence of his duel with M. Amedde Achard. has received from the Court of Amine an order to sur- render himself up to the authorities. The trial will come on in the beginning of September. There seems a strong disposition on the part of the judicial authorities to deal seriously with the offence of duelling, and to visit the convicted with the full weight of the law. General Castellano arrived In Paris yesterday. The motive of his journey is not very distinctly known, but said by his friends to be connected with private affairs. He will return shortly to Lyons. The Minister of the Interior has just decided that the marble bust of M. de Balsa° shall be planed in the gallery of the celebrated men of the 19th osntury in the museum of Versailles. He, at the same time, decided that the marble for the statue shall be offered to the subscription tinned for raising a monument to the oelebrated writer. Louis Philippe hoe presented to the state of the Standish collection of pictures, the possession of which was confirmed to him by a recent award of the Conseil d'Etat.

Petit, a pasteboard box maker, M. Mathias, • saddler, and ht. Stitt, an employe. The three delegates had a loareesursesios with the Count de Chambord on the situation of the working elasses, and the Prince himself treated the quaker in a manner that showed be bad deeply studied. He spoke with the greatest emotion of the women and young is whip were *epees& by their Ulmer) to tell into snares laid for Una, and pointed out institutions which might be established for their assistance. He tutored with vest (thin late the situation of the workmen who were prevented from swains their bread honestly from want of employment. He also spoke of the meats which might be adopted to give employment to liberated oonviets, sod to toeing them back to the paths of honesty. lie left the three delegates deeply impreesed with gratitude for the solicitude evinced towards the working-classes. We asked U. Sala% one of the three delegates, whether, according to the version of the &Mo, there wu any one present at their interview with the Prince, and he replied to the negative. Ice all the private &odious., the Count de Chambord nu slays alone.

BERLIN, A.•; The Austrian note, which furnished a 80ijic: f,r the deliberatiorui of the ministerial cour.cil last week, raised the hope that all the difficulties wake divide the cabinets of Vienna and Berlin were in the way rf receiving a pacific and friendly subition. That hope I have to annoance,bas been greatly shaken by a later note from the imperial government, received heft the day before yesterday. The specific ct.ntents of that note are not precisely known, through the anxious care of the ministry to preserve them a secret. We are, however, compellei to wooled* that they are of a nature far hen satisfactory. Whether Austria again summons Press sia to secede to the project of restoring the diet, or makes some new declaration on the Bolen Weir, is uncertain. I can however state with cert..tic'y, that before the Schiedegericht has been even eunetituted, Austrian ministers have declared that a further vance of the Radish troops towards Prussia ehea hot be allowed. Whether this declaration is or is not contained in the note just spoken of is another question. A rather strange scene is exhibited just now is Brussels, where Pricce Metternich is retticitg visits and notes from various high personages, who are anxious to be assisted with his adv:ce on the present state of the German question. The King of &Tana has lately paid the prince a visit. The Austrian dip. lome'ists have waited on him, but the old counci..or declines to enter into nearer relations with that mil. He attributes his overthrow to the intrigues of the Emperor's mother, who, as early as 1843. had et.des vowed to bring about the abdication of Ferd!na-.d in 'avour of her husband, a project which Met:en.:ca successfully opposed, although Count Ko!..wrat atd the Archduke Juhn supported the wily lady. It .1 remarkable that these personages ali) showed them selves exceedingly eager for Metterhich's resignstim in March, 1818. The customs congress at Cassel promises to end talk; t) ere is therefore reesou to hope the: the erd caws of Germany will not be aggravated by Le tv.y of a speculating adventurer, such as Von cl.fr 11:yd: =questionably is. A telegraphic despatch was received at Cob :eve -a the 21st, suiting that the Prince of Prussia wo ..d arrive in that city on the 24th instant, rorawn over the 25th, travel to inspect the troops at and Wetalar on the 2tith,and from this list two journey to Frankfort.

(FROM OUR OWN REPDRTILIL) FR.-NKFOILT, ThM morning at ten o'clock the proceedings et Third General Peace Congress were opened in S: Church, the building made memorable by the reeer• legs of the Frankton parliament. It is a handsome building, with a gallery supported by marble columns. It and under this gallery a large number of :aeon were assembled.

Behind the president's char u a large shield blot iced with the German @see, whiiit above the crimson drapery on which this heraldlz decoration rests are three flirts, each black, trim son, and gold, the staves surrounded by triumphs*. wreaths. The aspect of the interior of St. Tatil's t:zerch to-day attracted, however, much less attention thin i.e ens of its visitors, when it was whispered round the piece that General Ilaynatt was present. He sat for some time teas one of the side doors, listening apparec•iy w.th much attention, but left before the terming:bet et the proceedings.

The formal business of opening the congress having been consummated, The PRESIDRNT detailed shortly the history of this movement, from its first origin in England and Ameries, and alluded to the congresses which had been hell in lifUllole and Paris, and to the present gathering in the ancient city of Frankfort. The tired resolution to be submitted was then read in German and English, as follows : " The Congress of the friends of universal peace. assembled at Frankfort-onstheMain, the trdad, 23rd, aid :Nth Auguft. 1850, acknowledges that • recourse to arms being condemned alike by religion. morality, reason, end humanity. it is the duty of all men to adopt measures calculated tolabOltsh war'; sad the Congress recommends all its member' tO labour In_ their respective countries, by means of a bett, r education of asyouth, youth, by the pulpit, the platform , and the erns. as well by other practical methods, to e ra•licabs those hirethtary hatreds, and political and commercial raj udio . ey, which have been so generally the cause of disastrous ears.

We are here in the greatest stets of excitement possible. A cuwp distal, es sudden as a coup tie foudre in a calm day, has aroused us all from our summer lethargy. The case is this: On the let inst. the King sent for his ministers, and laid before them hie intention of leaving the country, at the same time presenting for their approval a royal ordinance, in the shape of • bill, to be presented to the chambers, consisting of two articles. The first declares that "whenever the King is ill, or absent from the king dom, the regency of the kingdom may be conferred upon ' our beloved consort' Queen Amelia, by ourown royal determination so long as the occasion oily de mand ;" and the second article provides that before the Queen Consort shall assume the duties of Queen Regent, she shall take an oath, in the presence of the King and his ministers, the holy synod, and the deputies and senators in the capital. (The oath fol lows, but it is the same am that which re required of the ministers of state, mutatia mulandis.) There. upon a great dispute arose among the ministers, two out of the five, viz., Londoe and Chrysogelos (the letter is Minister of Justioe and Religion), absolutely refusing to countenance, such a violation of the con stitution, or rather such an assumption of power be. longing only to a national assembly, changing the whole order of things, uncalled for end in the highest degree dengeroue. They had a second meeting of the ministers in the evening, when the two recusants persisted, but finding their persistence useless, they gave in their resignations, which were immediately accepted, on Friday, the 2nd. Thu next day (the Srd) this outrageous proposition was submitted to the Chamber of Deputies by the three remaining minis ters, and carried almost by acclamation (so well had these poor wretched too ls been prepared). It is to be presented to the senate to-day, where it is certain to be passed! 7 E I
