IT is now pretty evident, and, indeed, beyond the seseeity of demonetratioa, from which of the contend ing parliev in Germany hes proceeded the provccation to war, if not the precipita , ion of Europe into that dire calamity. The cindut of the Prussian govern ment hu been, up to the lull, so cocciliatory, so humble, so abargatory of even the necessary pride of a military nation, that however it may be charged with weaktues, it ea:tinily cannot be accused of a- , rroganceor obstinacy. Still it would be unjust aed untrue to consider the Prussian government uat one moment resigned to yield everything, and the next inspired by an amens of enthusiasm and despair to dare resistance. It is not true that in the cabinet councils, where them im portant questions were mooted, the King and his brother, and General Rnnowtxx, wen alone for armament and warlike demonstration, the pru dence and conservative resistance of Count BILANDEN BERG and his colleagues dissuading them from such a course. COW BRANDKNBERG, indeed, returned from Warsaw with the belief that he had arrived at an naders:aeding with Austria, and that the conflicting pe r ennials of Diet and of Ution being est aside, and re.erred for settlement in the future Conference, the temporary and subordinate questions of Hues and Schleswig might have been brought to an amicable conclusion. Even when tidings were brought to Berlin that the Bavarian troops had entered these and occupied Macau, Count BIPANDEMBEICI wee not unwilling to allow them tranquilly to do so, the Prussian troops at the same time occupying the depot strave in the north of the electorate, this joint occupation lasting till the Cmference had fixed suns mod* of pacifying and doing justice to the country. But when Count BILANDENBRIO learned that the invasion had taken place is the name of the Confederation, and under the authority of that Frankfort Dist which he had been led at Warsaw to believe was sus pended ; when three invading Bavarians summoned the PrIIPAilliS to aithdrawaltogether and allow them to re-install the Elector without condition or consi &Wien, or accord, then Count 131,AN1 ENBLILO de clared himself as warmly fa resistance and fix arming as the Ktno or (fermi RILDOWITZ himself. Count Biunnanner.o died is the declaration and conviction that the invasion of Heise in the same of the Dist was a breach of the iqc eementa of Warsaw, and that it was a coarse enforcement of ocaditione to which he had sever consented. It was in fact but a question of time. There was DO disputed point or rebellious province that could have outlasted or withstood the united opinions of every German power in a free Conference. To have awaited its decision would have secured order and psce, if out liberty. Bat Austria would not wait. Whether impelled by the warlike temper of its young Emperor, or by more insidious designs, it has pushed hit) Hesse, ordering the Prussians out of it, as r. commander-in chief might a corporal's guard, threatening, nay levying war, unless these in solent demands were complied with. Prussia could not yield to such mandates; if she did, her very soldiers would not obey her. And if the news be true, conveyed in the latest telegraphic moor(' of the Cologne Gaz , tte, that the Anteater had entered Coburg, this is of itself a de rivation of war. It is the invasion of a state belong ing to the Prussian union, the call of whose prince for defence and succour Prussia is bound to obey. Austria could only march into Coburg with the intention of directly provoking and cf making war, the road through Coburg leading directly to Cassel, and menacing the rear of the Pre mien force. The en trance of the Austrians into Coburg is war, and will be considered such. By the unanimous vote of the cabinet, and with the unanimous adhesion of the country, the Prussian innihrehr his been called out, and the cham bers convoked. 'Mess measures combined place the war, and the questions out of which it has arisen, before the Prussian, we may say, indeed, the (lemon public. The spirit of the parliament cannot be doubted. And in truth, the Prussian histilafehr is another parliament, the moat formidable and powerful represeetation of a country that was ever invented. Henceforth, whatever be done mug be national; war will be carried on with national spirit, and peace meet be concluded to national satisfaction. If at this crisis of affairs we ars seriously asked, or should ask curse Ire., whether war be inevitable, we can only answer, that war or peace depends upon the acts and upon the motives of Austria, and above allot Russia. If the purpose of the.o countries be peace. Prussia will no doubt keep it. Prussia can have no motive for war but self-preservation. Over matched and awed by the formidable coalition of the two emperors, into which France and England were partially drawn, Prairie prudently bowed before such a combination—has yielded, and would yield, all that would not r.bsolutely sacrifice the honour, and with it the duration, of the monarchy. If, however, the secret purpose of Russia is to place the two German powers in hostile conflict, no doubt she can succeed; and England and France have taken no step to prevent her. It is well known and agreed upon, that in t"e event of Aultria's going to war, Russia is to occupy Galicia, and Hungary, and even Vienna. once more with her troops. If the result of that war shou'd be a defeat of the Austrians, and • destruction of their military power, Russia would thereby inherit and retain the poseessiou of Hungary and Cron:cis. For who could then fix a term for Russia's ev.icuating them? If Prussia wee beaten, Austria might be allowed to keep Silesia, and cede; Oillira to Russia. Or, perhaps, further carving or partition might take place. War in central Europe, spht up as that country is into empites without rights, institutions, frontiers, or popular attachment, is in feet ccnvertiog the a hole region into a great poli tical gambling table, on which kingdoms, provinces, and populating may be won or lint. Such a game at present would in all probability tend to the ad vantage of Russia, and to the total disappearance of any check or counterbalance to her in the East. Heaven knows that this is sufficiently the case already, since the total destruction of Hungary and Poland as nitiona. To see Germany threatened by the same fate, her princes appearing as supplicants at the gates of the Czar's palace in 'Wormer, is more slarmiog than anything that has happened in Rue lie for centuries. For if Germany prove unable to widistaad the Colossus, it will fall with its full weight upon France and upon us, annihilating the attire liberties and independence of Europe. In this critical state of things we do think that the IltritiA government ought to come forward with a frank opinion on this cew system of destroying all con stitutional government. That Austria should once more call is Russian troops to occupy her provinces and cities, and resort to this extreme merely for the purpose of crushing and punishing the most legal and constitutional resisance that was ever offered to an arbitrary and extravagant prince —this is so contrary to the Treaty of Vienna, which promised constitutions to the states of Genoese'', and to the entire spirit and stipulations of tb t gr. at accord, that England is pecu liarly called on to raise at heat its voles in behalf of Europese independence and legal right. MIL DISRAELI appear to think that the business 'in life of a *Weil leader is somewhat like that of a 'jockey. He is readT to meant and away at the shortest feasible =nee—willing to ride any horse that anybody will back—end determined to spare slime whip nor try, in order to head the Bold. Yet there are some races he cannot rids; and a srtraiiie chase is evidently one of them. The idl e po of the people of England are just now bent upon enjoy ing that somewhat desperate species of aseimerat. Every parson is out, and even bishops are. r idog in their stirrups, contrary to the' easy melt into which they had Wen of late years.' As • for the whole mob of squires and lads who take part in " this truly national pastim4: the dust they sufficiently indicates number. Lord Lioate, with his mead courage, leeks as if he had said, "I think I'll show you the way to clear these new fences and walls thrown up to puzzle us." Whereupon Mr. Dim= pulls up at the pant of starting, and cries, " Nay, bat you can't go at them, inasmuch as you built them yourself! " The tory leader perceives the gain in personal po pularity which will accrue to Lord JOHN Roseau from his recent declaration against papal encroach ments ; and eagerly strives to stop the current of na tional feeling by raising a different question. He does not attempt to defend the novel assumptions of ecclesiastical power by Rome. Quite the reverse. He even disputes the fact of the twelve new catholic bishops being bishops at aIL Lord Jinn( objects to a twelfth part of the realm being specifically given to each of them for an episcopal possession, which is the real point in dispute. By way of being clever, Mr. Dane= overlooks this—the territorial and political question—and endeavours to raise a totally different controversy about titles conceded by courtesy in en adjacent kingdom, and to certain marks of royal desire to show consideration for the prevalent creed of the Irish people. But the electors of Backs, for whose edification their representative's letter has been professedly written, must be doll indeed if they are bewildered by this rather clumsy attempt at distraction. The question is not by what titles catholic bishops in a catholic country ought to be called, but whether the protestant bishops . of a pro- testant country are to be pushed from their places at the word of a foreign prince whose temporal weak ness notoriously render' him the passive instrument of our absolutist malice? Mr. Datum wholly misunderstands what the people of England are angry about. The conces sion of their appropriate titles of honour to catho lic bishops, when they are, to all intents and porpoise, the spiritual chiefs of the clergy of the great bulk of the nation, neither offended nor startled us. We felt that substantially it was no affair of ours. Ireland is not England, and can no more be governed by the tame laws or images in this and other essential matters than Canada and Ceylon. All are, indeed, =p i ens of the same empire; but an empire is a on for mutual benefit of many communities, ▪ ibe subjugation to one intolerant hierarchy of miry religions. The indignation with which we re pel fanatical intruders and outlandish pretensions, ler from being inconsistent with a scrupulous ears not to offend the conscientious feelings of ear fellow subjects beyond the sea, is in reality the fitting and natural counterpart of our atatiamal jeeluney in all that concerns our religious beedens. We value our spiritual liberty so highly that we desire all other people to enjoy it likewise. Whatever form of ohristianity a people adopt, it is the policy and ditty of the imperial government respect. And whoa, as in Ireland and Ca nada, sects divide the community, impartial justice mdse. the observance of impartial cearteey pamible yet more imperative. Bat as the QUEEN, when holding her court at Dublin. wisely refused to ignore the fact that the catholic his /mashy of Ireland are and have always been the beads of the clergy of the large majority of the Irish people, —so bar MAJESTY will wisely and consistently refine ea sanction the preposterous affectation of the Court of Reese, in pretending to overlook the existence of the Church of England, and to map out the kingdom into new dioceses. as though it had been a heathin land. It le the rank intolerance implied in this assumption that revolts the generous and just feelings of the people of England. It is the political and social con sequences which public acquiescence in it might en gender, that we resent, and are determined to avert. Mr. Dement does not appear to comprehend the difference between recognising a reality in one country and acknowledging a sham in another. He seems equally unconscious of the tone meaning of these ceremonial concessions recently made in 'relied. 111 is a mistake to suppose that tne Quays received ' • the catholic prelates of that kingdom as nobl.s " be ams sho appointed them a certain precedence, and addressed them as "my lords." Titles and prece dence as every tyro in heraldic coning' knows are the accidents of nobility, not its essential marks o its external proofs. "My lord " is invariably used, for example, when addressing certain legal officials, and peers sons, who are in point of fact no more nobles, thin England is a fief of the l'opedom. And, as for precedence, it is equally notorious that the representa tives of foreign powers, whether despotic or repub lican, " take the wall," u Mr. DISRAELI terms it, of notables and worthies of every degree. Had Cardinal Weseuett had the rinse to have worn his honours with a little more of apostolic meekness, the people of England never would have been at the pains to inquire in what courtly style he was received. It is not his cardinalate, which is a real office in an Italian state, but his pretended Archbishopric of Westminster, and his usurped right " to rule" over certain counties as bishop, and over the entire kingdom as metropolitan, appointed thereunto by a foreign prince, without the consent or knowledge of either the government or people of the realm, that both government and people refuse to suffer. Lord ions, as principal adviser of the sovereign, and as representative of the first constituency in the empire, was in an especial manner called upon to give expression to the national sense of insult and of wrong. If popular feeling is not likely to diacrimi sate nicely between the minister and the man, and if the result be to rally back to the whig administration, of which he is the hied, somewhat of the confidence they had lost, it is natural we admit that Mr. DIS RAELI and his friends should feel chagrin. But are they not blockheads to betray it so openly ? And is it not pitiful to see a man of Mr. DISRAELI'S genius and position special pleading about a case on the broad =I unmistakeable merits of which the verdict of the nation will assuredly be given ?

The Committee of Permanence held to-day its final sitting. It was occupied with the incident of the reported sitting of a branch of the Dix-Deoembre on the 29th. The Bourse was much agitated to-day by the news contained in the Gazette de Cologne, that the King of Prussia had called oat the landwehr. The Fives closed at 91.95, with a fall of 80 centimes upon the closing price of yesterday. The Threes fell 50c. The police yesterday operated a descent upon an illegal club sitting in the fouborrg Montmartre, and styled "Friends of Order and Humanity," a branch of the " Dix-Decembre," and nixing the registers, sta tute*, &e., with a view to future inquiry, dissolved the • sort g tile Society. - - By a decree dated yesterday, the prefect of police ordered the closing of the club called National, in the Rue Neuve St. Augustus, 33, where a certain number of the legitimist party were met. The members are prohibited from renewing their sitting, ander pain of being considered as forming part of a secret society. The Patric states that the mesons of the President of tbs Republic will be read to the National Assembly on Monday. In coast quence of the serious aspect of the crisis in Germany, M. de Persigny is not expected to leave Berlin jest at present. SUNDAY EIIINTNO. The vigorous measure taken by M. Cartier, in en ding the pay of the Assembly's Commissary of Police, M. You, which I announced yesterday, is another dash of hostility from the executive in con tioustion of that war which seems inextinguishable ' between the rival powers of the state. Jost as Gen. Neumayer was doomed to expiate by his disgrace the silence of the infantry 'pm the plain of Satory, the dissolution of the society of the Dix Deoembre has been visited on the head of M. Yon ; the Prefect of Polio@ having in this matter evidently served the resentment of the Elyeke. The step taken by M. Cartier is grounded in his decree upon the following motives : Wberess, on a meet occasion, M.Yoo has thought fit to ad dress ifteiset reports to some enembers'of the Natioael As sembly on a pretended conspiracy easiest Gee. Changernier sad the Pres! lent of the Chamber, without h• at %bemuse time transmitted his reports to the Prefecture of Polite, which could not consequently control end rectify them, and is ease of seed take the necessary measures ; and that remits unfa vourable to public order have attended this infraction of t►e orders which he bad received ; alas whereas by acting thus he net only violated the rules of subordination, but likewise eornpromised the responsibility of t►e prefect of police, we decree as follows : The salary of M. Yea, Commissary of Pollee for the Assembly is suspended until further order. The Prefect of Police, Canino." The Poueoir announced that M. Yon would be dis missed from his post, but it seems that, having been appointed by the President of the Assembly and the questore, this functionary cannot be turned out with out their sanction. The Committee of Permanence met yesterday for the last time. After some couversation on the letter of M. Curlier, and on the tone of the Bonapartist journals, M. Dnpin, President of right of the Committee of Permanence, presented • very clear summary of the labours of the Committee. He stated that it had understood its elusion with intel ligesos, and had fulfilled it with seal, prudence, and firmness. It had felt that Rapist was one of vigilance and continual and indefatigable surveillance, but that it should be prudent in action, inasmuch ass it was not a committee of action, of initiative, but simply a com- minim of surveillance, whose sole act should have been the convocation of the Assembly, if it found itself obliged to act. It had consequently so shaped its con duct. It had watched over the situation with a vigilant eye. Whenever it has seen any indication menacing to public security and to the great power it represented, it had watched it, and, without exceeding itsattributes,had warned the executive power, and had held itself ready to conv,..ke the Assembly lithe ques tion had taken a gravity of character more alarming. Its solicitude had been directed to these questions principally, and on these three questions not only the event had justified the Committee, but the executive power Reel f has admitted it to be right. About six weeks since it signalised the society of the Dix Decembre as dangerous to public security, and its intervention in polities as exciting observation. The government, which contested the exactness of this opinion, had ac knowledged its justice by di-solving the society. It had then admitted the Committee to be right on this point. The Committee had seen with alarm and vi sited with blame the reviews at which the soldiers I received unusual distributions of wine, which had 'erten the effect of begetting a state of drunkenness which led to disorder, and had the object of inducing them to utter cries contrary to the regulations, and which often degenerated into factious shouts. The decree of • council of war pronounced the day before yesterday, stated that the first inconvenience existed; as to the second, the government had lately admitted the Committee to be right by dismissing M. d'Haut peele who had entered into an engagement to prevent these objectionable scenes, and who had tolerated them. This question, which appeared to be closed, had been lately again opened by the dismissal of an hosourable general. The Committee, by avoiding pushing affairs to a crisis, without violence, without publicity, but by using moderation mixed with firmness, and by the influence of good advice, bed succeeded, without convoking the Assem bly in skein the question in a way conformable to the priseiples and interests of society. The order of the day, which it desired I. have seen issued six weeks auger by M. d'Hautponl, had been published, not by the government, indeed, but by the general-in chief of the army of Paris, and had been accepted by the government, which, on this point also, had admitted the Committee to be right. It may then be asserted that all the questions which had agitated the three months ethos the prorogation had been settled before its termination, settled as they ought to be, in the opinion of the Committee of Permanence, and closed, not by it, but by the government. This resumi of M. Dupin terminated the sitting. The Committee of Permanence received Woo the report of the sub-committee of three, appointed by it to confer with the Minister of the Interior, on the re velation which had been made at the preceding sit ting. One of the queatorsafterwards read a report of M. Yea, Commissary of Police of the National Assembly, One of the members of the Committee having observed that independently of this report the commissary of police had prepared a prates-verbal, in form contain ing the declarations that he had received, the Corn "titles resolved that this functionary, who bad pre =nit in the quality of officer of police, should it it to the Procureur of the Republic, to be dealt with according to circumstances. Before sepa rating, the Committee decided that its minutes should be deposed at the secretaryship of the presidency, and should not be published or deposited with the archives unless the Assembly should so order. The Assembly will resume on Monday its legisla tive labours. The old bureaux will, according to the resolution of the Assembly, direct the first operations of the session. The busitess will commence by a roll-call, to ascer tain the absent members. There are about five hundred already arrived in Paris. The Assembly will ballot fur the composition of the bureaux, aid for the nomination of committee., of initiative, petitions, and leave of absence. The election of president and the members of the burets of the Assembly will take place on Tuesday. Triers is only one new election to validate, that of M. de la Hitte, for the department of eh Nord. The Coesfittifiesnel states that the President's message will not be read until Tuesday. The funds showed a very sensible decline yesterday evening and this morning at the petite Bourse and the Passage de I'Opera. Toe Fives, which left off yesterday evening at 9145, fell this morning to 90.16. At two o'clock they had again risen to 91, and appeared firm at that quotation. Last eight the /mod Mate, the re-ope_ning of the Dalian Opera. maim lt i Lasp aa ices of Mr. Lawny, made as grea t stir in the Me world. The Pre sident, accompanied by 111.

It Mae boxes the ministers Baroohe, Bins's, sad Demm e Lord Normanby, and the majority of the diplematie mops, Dapin and a hoot of representatives might be decried. Sontag was mated to the " Bossumbede with enthusiasm worthy of her best years, sad @Mated with an abun dance of bouquets. The tam, Calulari, with whom Mr. Lanny bas mile to stop the part of Mario, exerted his beet diode to prevent t h e latter artist, who will not accept a portfolio in the Lumley cabinet, from being missed. It was evident that there existed in the malls a numerous party who sympathised too strongly with the expelled, director Round to taste the successes of his supplanter. Nevertheless, the English visitors mastered so strong, and seemed to be animated by such hearty wishes for the triumph of their enterprising countryman, that the rounds of applause were vigorous, and prevented the evening from being damped by the discontent of party rivalry. The reopening of this attractive theatre, whose boxes were dispeopled by the days of discouragement which folloired the revolution of February, was generally hailed as one of the most agreeable symptoms of a return to a more settled state of society. ITALY. PIEDMONT. The parliament is opened, but no &amnions of in terest have yet occurred. On the 6th the officers of the courts of justioe swore fealty to the king, to ob serve the statute and the laws of the state, and duly to administer judos. ROMAN STATES. It is rnmoaretfthat --- ie Sardinian agent, the Mar quis de Spisols, will sot quit Rome aor interrupt his relations with the government of the holy see ; at least so it is assumed by certain indications not equivocal. He has been permitted to pass his effects duty fres at the custom house ; a privilege, which according to ancient usage, the Papal government accords to the foreign representatives regularly accredited ; and be sides this he has brought with him his family. At the end of October more of the paper money was burned. The new committee for the examination of the governmental (*doneness has been dissolved, alter terminating its labours. GERMANY. AUSTRIA'S MANIFESTO. If any doubt of the hostile intentions of Austria previously existed, these must now vanish before the statement of facts published in the official Vienna Gazette, of the 6th inst. This document assumes, from the place which it occupies, and the high tone with which it is written, the form of an imperial manifesto. Its length recludes us from giving it entire to-day ; but it says : That the military forme of the empire are pat in motion to support, U neeemary, its remormraume. A Issy of 76,000 man is decreed, u wall as the formation of the first battalions of ase lindwehr and the fourth battalions of the Hungarian and Italian regiments, and the mobilisation of the regiments of the military fronVen. A great army, furnished with the neeessary materiel and provisions, occupies at th;s moment the positions marked sett for it. A geaeral.in chief whose um is a guarantee of victory has been called by his Majesty to the seat of government. Finally the corps of the Vorarlberg, ander the orders of (h -unt Legedics, has already entered Bavaria, in order to meet any emergency. This last step has been taken in con- junction with the brava troop of our faithful ally the king of Bavaria. Wirtemberg is also arming with vigour, and so are Saxony and other countries faithful to the confederation, in order that independence may be maintained, and the rights of the confederation may be guaranteed and its deities fulfilled Amelia and bar allies thus much to execute the decrees of the Dist, determined indeed to respect every foreign right, but also to be repered by no danger or opposition in the falfilment of their duties. Such is the language of the official Gazette. There is no doubt that Wartemberg and Saxony are arming. The former has dissolved her Chamber under a pre text, and appointed the old Chambers, dissolved after 1848, to reassemble. This body is supposed likely to consent to any government plane. In Saxony-, bow ever, a difficulty . offers, for there is a deficit of 90,000 thalers. Bavaria, whose Chambers should meet soon, will not call them together, for obvious reasons, the government having taken matters completely into its own hands. The Bavarian fortress of Lsodsn has been closed, and the puns from the Rhine towards the Grand Duchy of Baden are closed. Hesse.])Arm stadt has joined the Austrian coalition as well as Nas sau. It is for this reason that Gen. Sohreckenstein, commanding the Premien forces in Baden, has received orders to take up a position between the Necker and the Murg, where his forces may net on one side upon Thuringia, and be supported there by the Prussian force recently marched into Nassau through Frankfort. Nor is Prussia acting alone in calling out its troops. The Duke of Brunswick has received orders to raise his forces, and the same has been given to the Saxon Duchies. The Aostriaes have advanced from Bamberg, and are said to have entered Cabarg, as will be seen Com the following despatch : - BERLIN, Nov. 8. "We understand that the Austrian troops hare en tered C ',burg. It is understool that they are on their way to Holstein. The Duke of Coburg has ar , rived in Berlin." _ _ _ The papers latest received merely so far confirm this despatch, by saying that, on the 3th inst. two battalions of the Wellington regiment and two batta lions of rifles had passed through Bamberg on their onward march. The Sehwarzenborg Hungarian regi ment was about to pass through also. The latest news from Berlin is contained in the following tele graphic despatch : " Berlin, Saturday Evening„ Nov. 9.—The state of affsin remains unchanged. Fresh despatches have been received from Count Bernatorff at. Vienna, and the ministry is now sitting in council under the presi dency of the King." From Hanover we Lan, under date the sth inst., that the government has refused to sot in obedience to the orders of the Diet of Frankfort in reference to interfering in the Duchies. the Staatholiorochaft to motors peace in Holstein si part of the federal territories of 13ermanv, and to re establish the sovereign rights of the King of Den mark within that duchy as its lawful sovereign, and in case of their refusing to obe7 the resolutions of the Bundestag .threatens them with a forcible interven tion. Like all the Austrian notes on this subi ect, this letter is marked by a total ignorance or wilful' blindness to the real Treed= at ism. The peeve of Holstein has never been disturbed in opposition to the sovereign rights of the King of Denmark, the Hol steinera are in arms to oppose the illegal incorpora tion of the duchy of Schleswig with Denmark, and the illegal rupture of the national and political ties by which the two &Aliso are connected. Huldein does not refuse to acknowledge the sovereignty of the King of Denmark, bat it does refuse his ri4ht to dis- turb wantonly and illegally the union with Schles wig; to withdraw the customs frontier from the no•th and to replace it in the south of Schleswig, and to subject Schleswig to a purely Danish government, regardless of the independent rights and privileges which have been secured to it by treaties and royal decrees without number. The war has not been carried on in Holstein, but in Schleswig : not one drop of blood has been shed in the former. With re geed to the continuation of the war, the Staathalter schaft are as desirous of peace as the Bundestag and England can possibly be, and they only ask for terms which shall secure to them inviolably. those rights which they believe, and justly so, that the duchies have a right to. They are ready to propose an ar mistice as desired by Prussia through General Hahn, though the terms are somewhat different than those which were suggested to them. They require that they shall not be called upon to propose terms, which could only be advantageous to a party completely subdued, and without the slightest hope of a change of fortune. The army of the duchies is more numerous than it was at the bade of Idstedt, is as anxious as ever to meet the Danes in the Held, and the timancial position of the government is such that the war can be carried on for some months longer without any great exertions. That being the case, and a time of year being at the door at which operations can be un dertaken with prospects of success against the Danish position, it is not fair jolty, and no Englishman will advocate the imposition of terms which deprive the duchies of all the advantages which their unbounded perseverance—call it obstinacy if you like—and their unheard of sacrifices, still leave to them. The nego tiations carried on through General Hahn, who, we understand, has returned to Berlin, have terminated, and, owing to the fall of Herr von Radowitz, are not likely to be renewed. The duchies, therefore, are left to deal solely with Denmark and the Bundestag. The threats of the latter will be disregarded, and an intervention be necessary to restore pace. With regard to Denmark, we cannot undertake to say what her intentions are. Her policy has, throughout this struggle, been to make war in summer and peace in winter. The advantages of this policy are obvious. From the nature of the ground the winter is on 01l occasions, and more particularly so on the present, most advan tageous to the Schleswig-Holsteiners. It also de prives the Danes of all support from abroad, and cuts off their connexion with the seat of government and their supplies. Whether Denmark, if successful in procuring an armistice during the winter, would net renew hostilities in the summer, is a debateable ques tion. She is already seeking the means to do so with effect, if it shoul4 become necessary, by endeavouring to negotiate a loan for a large amount in the city. Five er viz millions are spoken of. The following is the reply of the Duchies to Prussia : PAPLY OP THE STAAIIIALTESSCRAPT OP BCHLEBWIO-ROL- ITIA TO TER PRI:NOIRE DISPLTCB OP OCTOBER 23, Tb. esteemed letter of Cis Emslleney, General Radowita, the Royal Premier Minister of Foreign Affair'. dated Oct. 23, has been received by the Siaathalterschaft, at the hands of General Hahn, and been submitted to solemn and deli berate consideration. The Staathaltersahaft has the honour to reply se follows: In the Fragile's memorial which accompanied, and ex plained, the treaty of Berlin, it:wea expressly stated that the Danish govemmeut was prepared to come forward with a declaration of its intentions, which were entirely of a character to lead to a peaceful settlement of existing difficulties. The Staathaltersahaft has already complained that these alleged intentions have not been acted upon dace, otherwise a renewal of war wnuld have been avoided. The more anxiously the Staathaltercbaft desired such a declaration, the more must it now rejoice to learn from your excellency that proposals of peace may be expected from Denmark, in conformity with Art. IV. of the treaty of pease. Whether these overtures may be made through a central organ of the G,ricanic cont.- deratiot, or directly to the duchi:s, we shall hail them with Joy, and entertain them most earnestly. The Staathalterechaft is always ready, and especially in clined to appoint plenipotentiaries, to discuss with Denmark the best modes of formally fixing the form in which those rig ht. which have been so often and so generally acknow ledged, may be embodied so se to satisfy all equitable claims, of mune subject to the ratificalon of Germany, in so far se the rights of the entire confederation are concerned. The city of Hamburg is probably s fitting spot for such negotia tions. The assurance of your Excelleacy that an organ truly representing Germany will certainly guarantee and uphold every right of the confederation and its individual states — thus, therefore, the right of Holstein to its an cient emnexion with Schleswig, as forming an in tegral part of the kingdom of Denmark—has filled the fitaathaltertchaft with confidence, and . it of course experts that to it, as to the government most deeply inte rested in the rank of all nesotiations • fair and Inn repre- FRANCE. PARIS, SATCRIAT ETRXTIIO. The tragic plot which was revealed is the sitting of the Permanent C , mmittee on Thursday turns out, according to the highest authority in mitten of police, M. Carlier, to have been a hoax palmed off upon the zealous functionary who is specially charged with preparing the police reports presented to the Presi dent of the Assembly. This worthy, well.meaning person, M. Yoe, apparently suspects the President of the Republic to be little bet'er than a sort of Guy Fawkes who would be very glad to blow up the com mittee if he could only smuggle a few kegs of powder into the cellar ot the Assembly. Swallowing greedily the tale of a drunken spy, M. You conceives that he hu got hold of a truster as black as the gun powder plot or the Cstilinarian conspiracy, which will make the 11•1110 of You famous in the annals of France. Afraid of submitting this precious discovery to the test of inquiry from the highest authorities, M. Yon neither consults M. Cartier nor M. Baroche, but concocts the melodramatic report, whose sub stance has been given to the world in the grave columns ot the and submits it solemnly to the permaLent committee. It is a striking instance of the spirit in which this body exercise their functions, that instead of doubting the story they deputed three of their col leagues to remonstrate with M. Baroche upon his sad neglect of duty in failing to warn MM. Dupin and Coangarnier of the terrible contrivances agamet their lives. M. Bauchi was sorely perplexed at first how to keep his countenance in the face of such solemn credulity. One of the commissioners stated that M. I)upin bad actually quitted his house in the Rue de Bac, and repaired to the hotel of the presi dency, in order to put his life under the protection of the pub/tulic force charged to watch over the safety of the mble. M. Baroche set out instantly to calm the terrors of the President of the Assembly, and induce him to return to his lares ; but be found the story of dEnienagement to be a little mistake of M. Base, one of the three delegates, and disooversd the valorous Duple quietly anted by his fireside in the Rae du Bac. Assuring his old colleague of the bar that this was the first he had heard of the plot against his life, on which no one laid greater vales than himself, hir went off, promising to leave no atone unturned to get at the truth. Now the position of M. Yon is somewhat peculiar. He is appointed by the government, but hem no other secretion will be accorded in the said orß►n atria Band, of the atUte- The Staathaliersehait is alsoguite at one with the eenuian government in its views of the desirableness of an armistice, mender to promote as far u possible the peaceable arrange. meat to which know looks forward. It therefore loses no time le declaring that it is ready to conclude an armistice on the subjoined concii , ions: . . 1. TCM part of the mainland of Schleswig which lies to the math of the line of demarcation drawn i . tbe armistice- convention of July 10, 1849, together with the Isle of Febmero and the western is!ends, and elm the angular disttict worth of that line and east of the city of Flensburg, shall be evarusted by the Danish army, and be governed by the B , aathaltersehaft in canisson with the duchy of Holstein. 2. Tee Danish TWIN shall leave the waters and couta of the Duchies,. . . . . . . & All political prisoners and prisonen of war shall be sernadered on both sides. and all private property cot As stated en political mune% restored to the owners. 4 Inhabitants of the duchies who have been compelled asraisst their will to serve in the finish army shall be released from that unripe. _ 6. Navigation shall be permitted and favoured as far possible on both sides. 6. The armistice shall be concluded for a year, and may be tacitly protracted beyond its expiry, neither party being at liberty to renew the war except after Riving eix weeks' natio. In the foregoing prop sale the Btaathalterschaft has offered all that it could, in view of its resposribility to the country. It trusts that, Monrding to the wishes expressed by the Prussian government, an agreement may be concluded I. lionformity with them. The Bteathalterecheft willicgly accepts the proffered goadiation of the King of Prussia. The fltaathaltereckaft would calmly met t a refusal of the armistice. In a legal point of view neither tile cionclueion leer the ratification of the treaty of Berlin—which merely reserved the rights of all parties, and did not include any settlement of tee points disputed between the crown of Den mark and the duchies, and in the production of which the litaathalzerechaft took no par:—can have any influence out the relations or measures of the regency. But the taathalter 'chart will always gladly primped in the exercise of a conscien tious digeretiou, and boon to meet a similar disposition from the confederation of which it isa sembFr. With respect to the view of the present situation contained in the Prussian memorial, the Btaathalterachaft renews the expression of its entire confidence in the diaposition of your Excellency to wn/es the cause of the duchies; your Ex-ellency has uni formly regarded this so the came of Germany and spared no Itlatifiell to mown it wPh nerve—Kiel. Oct. 28, 1860. The Biaathalterschaft of Schleswig-Holstain. REVINTLOW, BUILES, FRAVOLIII. To his Excellency Baron Radowite, Pilgrim Minister for Foreign Affairs. To the foregoing despatch a memorandum is an nexed assigning specific reasons for each of the six condition of an armistice which that document con tains, With respect to the proposed space of one hyear as the minimum term of an armistice, the Statt alterichart observes that the coming winter will ob viously be au unfavourable season for the warlike opera. tions of Denmark. It will not be able to employ its fleet, and will cease to be protected by the rivers, streams, and marshes now covering the positions of its army. Exposed to unexpected aggrc ' , ions, the Danish army would require considerable reinforcements, while the bitter weather would be at work destroying the constitution' of the men. Furthe-more the land communications of Denmark would be cut off during the winter, and its interoanrae with other parts of the world almost entirely arrested. These considerations had induced the Danish government for two years to conclude an armistice limited to the winter months: on this occasion the Btatthalttrechaft must stipulate that the advantages of an armistice shall be reel proreL RENDSBURO, Nov. 4. You will have heard of the new resolution which the government of this country has taken, refusing to enter into any military armistice until the conditions of peace shall have been made known, and that Gen. Hahn started with this answer to tetuai to Berli n yesterday. You will likewise have heard of the arri. val here of an Austrian officer, with the note of the president of the Frankfort club, Count Thu; called an " inhibirorium " of the war. The Emperor Nicholas made the issue of this note a condition of his support to the Frankfort club; it is therefore tantamount to a Russian note. The Stott holders of coarse declined to eb.3y the ru ined which the note contained, since they know so each authority as the Frankfort Club. A resolution like this is easier to bo taken in a case like that of the Duchies than in any other: they a c . tually are at war with Denmark; they may beat the Danes as soon as the weather permits to make any operations; they may look to the threats of foreign intervention with comparative indifference, until the ice ceases to block up the Russian ports; they do not believe in a German armed intervention ; and if things should come to such extremity, they prefer being 'diearmed by German troops to surrenderin g unconditionally to the Daces. Meanwhile, you wi be aware of the cunning of the Danish governme:t pretending not to enter Holstein from its respect for the treaties, whilst, in feet, no otter reason but the military impossibility prevents the Danish a-my frcm proceeding further then to the lines of the Weer. vike. Denmark likewise pretends to be in favour of peaceful negotiations with men of public responsi bility and men of business about the peace with the Duchies. I can assure yon that neither the stadt holders nor any other responsible persons in the Duchies have received any communication touting to confirm this assurance of Baron Reedtz. I sincerely hope that this Danish assurance may be true; but I hope Denmark does not think the plotting diploma tists in the service of Russia to be persons of such responsibility aa the task of a pacification of the Duchies would require. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. The followiog is a translation of the decree ad dressed by the Frankfort Bondestag to the Staathal terschuft at Kiel, in which it calls upon that body to desist from all farther hoetilitiss, to reduce the num- bt 7 r;oi the army to one-third, and to withdraw it south of the river Bider. The deem* is in the shape of a series of resolutions of the Bundestag, and is ex tracted from the protocol of the eleventh sitting on the 25th October. Paragraph 33 of this protooal, headed " The Affairs of Holstein," says : The Bandeaveriamobang have resolved by a majority: 1. lenseitiately after the exehange of the ratifications a the peace of the 2nd of July, 1860, to intim eta to the Staw halter chaft at Kiel, as the actually existing ewhentr Is Holstein, their decided determination not to p-rmit the continuation of hostilities, and strictly to enjoin the Suathalterachaft to take care that no attack shall be made; but that, on the contrary, the Holstein troops shall be with drawn to the south of the Eider, and that leave of abeam* shall be given to at least two-thirds of them.

This letter, after reini=ng to the pesos of the 2nd of July and the argolianocs which have sines taken piece, calls upon WEST INDIA MAIL. The royal West-India mail packet Dee, Captain Allan, from the West Indies, 8c , arrived at SJuth ampton last night, and landed her mails under the charge of Lieutenant Jelin Hay, R.N., Admiralty agent. Her dates are: La Cwt.'s, Sept. 22; Panama, Oct. 6; Vera Cruz, Bth ; Chagres, 10th ; Trinidad, I Ith ; Carthagena and Demerara, 12th; Barbadccs and Grenada, 14th ; Jamaica and Martinique, 15th; Porto Rico 19:h; St. Thomas',', 200). There are no mails from the Pacific, as they are nut due by the ship having Southampton on the 2nd of any month. She brings 280,480 dollars from Vela Cruz and Chagrse; 30,000 dollars of which are on account of Mexic in dividend. The Dee was detained at St. Therese., waiting for the Gulf mail, and also by head winds on her homeward voyage. At Grey Town sickness was very prevalent, particularly amongst the crews of the English min of war there. At Chapel the a ckness was not an bad. At Port Royal, Jamaica, the cholera was still v.ry bad, ar • raeng about ten fatal cases daily. At Kingston there had been a few apes. The Northern Likud., Barb - - does, and British Guiana, were generally healthy. The weather favourable ; the crop; are said to be in exoellent condi•ion. Th e Dee brie,:s no mails from Tampico, the Clyde not having been able to communi cate in consequence of a " norther." The purser of that packet was tt on shore from the same cense. Some better regulation appears to be necessity in reference to the embarkation of the Tampico mails, or it must frequently happen that none will be forthcoming. The time allowed for stop ping off the bar of that place is 31 days, and it often happens that, at the expiration of this period, a norther comes on, and prevents communication with the packet ; and as she cannot (by the new roster) afford to waste a single hour, the mail must, under -"onmetancee, be left behind, un l ess the gc vernment directs that a mail be in readiness for em barkation on all occasions of communication with the ship. A large number of passergers from California em barked on board the Dee at Grey Town, haring landed at Realejo, which is on the way from San Francisco to Panama; their route to Grey Town was across the Lake Nicaragua, which is described 93 pleasant and reasonable as to charges, although a more circuitous route than by the isthmus. There were many other passengers expected by the same road; and it seems far from unlikely that this routs will be soon a popular one; the thicg most to be desired in reference thereto is the certainty of a steamer to take them on board on their arrivrl at Grey Town; considering that ten days and a half are consumed by the royal mail packets waiting at Grey Town and Casgres, it is worthy of consideration whether it would not be a source of emolument to the company if their ships were to occupy this time in conveying these passengers to Jamaica, as them is more than a sufficient number of days given to retain to Chagres to embark mails and specie. The all.pervadiog topic in British Guiana (says the Co lonist of Oat. 11) is reform. No matter whether the denies spring from a rational conviction that, without it, all other remedies for our de'perate condition will be iliug, or whether it arise fr..m a fretful impatience under galling in flictions and calamities, but so it is ; nothing will now sa tisfy the people of this great province but extensive organic changes in the mode of our government and legislation. They have become unutterably disgusted at the unreason able continuance of the fag end of alavibh institutions, aid are possessed with an ardent I,nging for the purer atmos phere of British liberty, and the wholesome miluences of constitutional self-government, In ear packet summary of the 27th September, we men tioned that, in consequence of Governor Bsrkly having an nounced that, with the sanction of Earl Gray, he intended to bring forward a measure for improving the College of litesers, that most obnoxious of all our institutions, and that, if " unainimouely recommended " to do so by the court, he would take upon himself the salmis resporsibili.y of sanding home for c msideration some other equally ob jectionable and delusive schemes for altering, without amend ing, our miserable mockery of an independent legislature— = address to the people had been drawn op by the Reform Association, denouncing such proposal as ansalting end in jurious, and calling upon the community to sign a memorial to the Court of Polies, spinet any legislation on the subject of constitutional reform until the curt should be prepared to vote for an elective c,uncil and Rouse of Assembly, bated on a full, free, and direct popular representation. The eloquent and indignant denouncement, by the Re form Collusive*, of the government scheme, found a ready response from the people, and in the course of a few days the memorial received about four thouseni signatures. Owing to the court reurmbling on the 30th ult., and it being con sidered important not to lose an hour in giving expression to the popular feeling, the m morial presented on that day had only some 2,500 names attached, the remaining signatures were received subsequently.

Another estate, belonging to the same firm, Pio. Sobiepinood, pertly in plainteins, was bought by Mr. James Laing for 1,260 dole. The .Royal Cicada (George Town, Demerara) says : The events of the last fortnight being but of little interest to any one oat of British Guiana, we may condense .our usual" review " into the narrowest compass. The Court of Policy is at present in non-senion. There is, therefore, nothing stirring in our political world. The court brake up on the Bth instant with a discussion characterised by considerable ability, on a resolution moved by the Bon.

Nobo dy: there could be found to support Mr. Haynes' resolution but the seconder. The matter was get rid of thus: An amendment, moved by the lion. George Booker, and seconded by the ILa. Samuel Bean, was put to the vote and carried, we might almost say unanimously. At all events, It was carried by a majority of the elective members, and with not a dissentient voice frees the official section of the court. The amendment, among other things, very properly gave the petitionen to understand that if they thought proper to approach the court with their petitions about " reform," du y most es plain themselves clearly and fully, and candidly 84 forth its detail their definition of the term "reform ;" in other word., that they must let the Court of Policy know when they see pleased to address it, what it is they really want and roam. The duties of a member of the Court of Policy are haress 4 ll enough ; but it is no part of Wee duties to bee solver of riddles, and to be gueuing what the particular objects of as! indefinite petitioners may be. The court, having thht thrown out the petition and the resolution, adjourned to the 28th instant, for the transaction of the public business of the colour, the presence of the Chief Justice and the At sessions rn•General being required in the meantime at the oast of the supreme courts of justice to be held in Bethke , and to be opened on the 18th inst. vie T w li f e ro w m eatk p e eni rein erar ce i. th h e u n be th en ul . u s., th it • w d u ate be o f f ore ou t r u lu t, t a ra t i , notwithstanding a few claps of thunder have been heard, and a few drops of rain been felt within the last few days The Demerara river is full of shipping, and freights were never lower.
