Tat British nation and the British government have serious reason f,r complaint in the cavalier manner in which both have been treated by the now hyper-insolent courts of St. Petersburg and Vienna. Hero have the most solemn congresses been held, the most grave resolutions c3MO to, of alliance, of offen sive and military movements, of the putting down of this system of government and the setting up of that, without England having been once consulted in the affair. There was a congress of kings and ministers, not exclusively German, at Breves, early in October, in which all the movements that we now see were planned and preordained. Yet not one word of these intentims, or reso:utions, wu communicated to the British government until, we believe, the other day. Such a slight was the more outrageous, since the chiet of these resolutions regarded the settlement of the affairs of Schleswig-Holstein, in which England bad taken a most active part, both in mediating and in coercing, at least as far as moral coercion goes. It could nut even be said that England showed a hostile spirit to them absolutist powers. For Lord PAL MERSTON signed the London protocol, when even Austria hesitated to put its signature to so anti- German a document. Yet this invent adherence to Russian policy on the part of England brought with it no return in the shape of either politeness or con sideration. And Count Nusautons at Bregeoz, and the Emperor NICROLMI at Warsaw, proceeded to ordain in their own way how not merely the Hessians, but the Holsteiners, were to be coerced, without deigning to consult England in the matter. We must say, that the British government, if not the British nation, deserved more respect than this at the hands of Russia. We will not deny, however, that the British sent has some reason for complaint against rre:e r ia, ll. for being so impolitic as to keep open the Schleswig sore, which has united so many powers molest her, and at last given a handle for the united absolutists of Russia and of Austria to overw helm her. The only excess of Prussia lies in her real inability to settle the question unless Denmark could be per suaded to grant concessioce. It was the vital interest rf Prussia during the last months to have settled And we firmly believe that if she did not do so, it was from sheer inability to persuade the Holsteiners to submit, and in the impossibility for her to force them. Now, however, pressed by circumstances and by • million of armed foes, which necessitates is her the junction of prudence with valour, the Premien go vernment, that is, Ranowrrit himself, advised—nay, insisted on ihe Stadtholderate withdrawing its troops from Schleswig. Lord Pstieesteroe ins sted on this the test. This, his lordship said, would be the fair fulfilment by Prussia of the fourth article of the treaty with Deems*. Accordingly, in order to place itself in accord with England, as the mediating power, Prussia has insisted on the withdrawal of the troops of the Duchies behind the Eyder. And the Stadtholderate has, we understand, contented to it. But how is Holstein to be subdued or pacified ? At Bergen the absolutist alliance determined that this should be done by force ohat the Frankfort Diet should at first attempt it ; and that, if it failed, Russia would take the matter in hand. It was first, we believe, begged of Hanover to undertake the task, and send its army of 20,000 men into Holstein. But the King of HANOVER was aware that his army would not execute such • mis sion, and that soldiers and population would rise against him, wore be to attempt it. The Austrians and Bavarians therefore undertook it; and the armies of these powers have not only marched through Runes to the occupation of Hesse, but have actually occupied Coburg, with the intention of marching through Prussia into Holstein. The Austrians and Bavarians, how ever' very well know that Prussia will not, and can not allow them to pas. They will present them selves at the frontier, however, be refused passage, and then they will appeal to Russia to grant them that material aid in the reduction of Holstein which was agreed upon at firegens amongst the abso lutists themselves, and formally threatened at Warsaw. Now Russia's mode of granting this aid in the reduction of Holstein is neither more nor lees than marching an army of 160,000 men through Prussia, and even through Berlin • whilst • Austro-Bsvarian army advances from the ion*. Will Prussia, can Prussia, resist this double in vasion ? The arguments of those who dissuaded the calling out the lantheehr, were, that if the' los& terhr be called forth, the Prussians, as a military nation, will never suffer the march of the Rimless through their territories ; and that the calling eat ef the timbre/sr would thus be tantamount to war. The landtrehr has been called out, amidst the acclamation. of all classes of the people. The march of the first carps from Berlin was accompanied by a burst of popular exultation, of which the Prince of PRUSSIA re ceived his share. The excitement is general. Still if the Prussians are exuberant in military spirit and indignant at the outrageous insolence of their foes, thee. foes are confidentiin their numbers. The Austrians are brave, having at their back the same Russians which enabled them to subdue Hungary. A conflict therefore may ensue—a conflict of fearful odds, and Prussia would be invaded by a million of fore, which it would require the spirit of the great FREDERICK to meet, and hie military talent to baffle. NAPOLEON amid to say, that if he were England he would not allow a canon-shot to be fired in Europe without his permission. We believe that E-gland, without being NAPOLEON, has still the power to for bid cannon shots. We believe that it does lie in Bogland's power to forbid the Emperor of RUSSIA to march his hordes across Prussia under the pretext of reducing the Holeteiners, but really for the purpose of crushing all constitutional liberalism or anti-EQ.- 111=4M in Germany. We believe that our English minister could settle the question of Holstein without this huge and menacing march and c inflict of armies,—first by persuading the King of DENMARK ID.offer fair conditions to the Holsteiners, and then re presenting to them, not as a foe but as a friend, the jeopardy in which they are placing the entire German race, with whom, if not victorious, they inevitably fall into unmitigated thraldom. If the Ling of Damian' will make no easseesion, and grant no rights or tioaditioss, this let Ids try to conquer Holstein with his Siren. If M snout, let him rent them tame. Theaessequeses of any other line of conduct with regard to Holstein must be either tits annihilation of PPIISME, or the awakening of a re volutionary war. Neither of these alternatives ought ever to have loomed in the distance, or been amongst the pomibilitiee of the time, had Prance and Eng lead dose their duty. Why they have not done so, there ie scarcely time to impure. Bat if they do not now exert themselves, Nsroisoe's prophecy will b e fulfilled to the letter, and Strops w r llbe either repub lican or Cossack. IT is curious and instructive to observe how va- I timely and characteristically the different authorities ' in church and state, now knowing the royal feeliege is the matter, take the aggreasion of Flo Norio and d Cardinal WISMAR, who is at case the insulter Mad the tool of that agg ression ea his soveresgm's plsrogative and his coantrt'zindependenoe. Lord JOHN RUSSELL s nadignaut at the ris:: Insolence; and Mr. Disir Is angry with Joint for making political eipital out of what w d otherwise have been priceless to the oppoeitioe. The LORD CHANCELD3R, allied to the Her Cl Brunswick, whose powers are attacked, is almost as vehement in support of protestautism to the citizens of London, as seat was his great predecessor, Lord SrizeTzanmar ; and the Lord Chief Justice a native of stern presbyterian Se3tland, where jokes are un known, and prelacy almost as great a crime as popery, actually rises into facetimumeas at the notion of anew popish plot, to come judicially before him. The Bishop of LONDON seeks to redeem an episco pal reputation he so stopidly threw away by now directing the whirlwind and riding on the storm ; and the Bishop of Extras, who will tolerate no Popery but his own, with one breath groans over the repeal of pe nal laws against the catholic* that he him self at last joined in abrogating, and then goes off in the next into a paroxysm of prayerful benedictions on all those who agree with him, damning by infer ence all who differ from him. The Bishop of BATH and WELLS, who, while on low episcopal diet at Ox ford, fostered and cockeyed, or, as Trinenio did Con don," stroked and made much" of Possyiem, is now that he is on fall episcopal pay, in a fright quite emaical at the arrival (and it has come by the Dover I sm. train) of a Castor Rouge ; and the high &soh Bishop of Smarm and GLOUCESTER ogle= his horror of Popery by refusing to let preach in his diocese the highest of church ma, even though he has sworn to die in the berries Cl the establishment which pays him 2,0001. a year. The Bishop of ROCHESTER is firm and well bred in illellasee of our protestant liberties, as becomes an aristocrat who confers honour on the church by taking cue of its mitres and 6,0001. a year, and the Bishop of Biros is on this topic as calm, moderate, ratiocina tive, and sensible as he is on all subjects. Bat more indignant than premiers, more vehement than lord chancellors, more facetious than chief justices, more determined than even royalty itself, is Sir PETER LAURIE, Knight and Alderman, the dia. in 1844, of the mischief Father NEwszor was then brewing, the object of no fewer than 21 news paper articles in which he now glories, the scourger of recreant bishops, the promoter of protestant furor in parish vestries ' the leader of orthodoxy in alder manic courts ; ready, willing, eager to treat Cardinal WieFMAN as he did the West Middlesex Insurance swindler, or DANDO, the oyster diddler—" pat him down." This would be the cunning point of Sir PETER's fame. ~... Wcrthy, too, of notion is the different manner in which different chases treat the subject. Everywhere the clergy seek to put themselves at the head of the movement ; and, supported by one or two of their leading parishioners, they are usually successful ; but only by yielding a little here, and drawing in a bit there; by submitting with a good grace to reflections on their past conduct by the more plain spoken of their flocks; by promising by their silence better behaviour for the future; by listening nnoomplaist ingly to the reproaches on their bishops; and by occa sionally being compelled to join in their censure. Mark, too, how everywhere the church laity in their speeches advance, enforce, and insist on that point which the clergy take little notice of, keep back, depreciate, or explain away—viz., the Royal supre macy. And note, moreover, how generally a dis senter rising to join in expressions of loyalty, and unite in a dislike of popery, significantly adds, how infinitely better voluntaryism is calculated to resist such aggressions, than a church so encumbered with shame as to be itself tottering. Amidst all this agitation, one an'hority is silent. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY. the Primate of Eng land, has not yet spoken ; he has not rushed to the battle field, like Dr. BLONFIELD, or taken to crying, like Dr. BAGOT.Yet no one looksanxiously at Lambeth Palace; none turn doubtingly to Addington. Dr. SUM NER needs no noseeming manifestations, no affrighted letter to convince people that he is alive to the crisis. The venerable archbishop's silence began confidence, because his career has been as consistent as his nature is mild, and his temperament calm and serene. And to him the thoughts of men are turning, because in his simplcrectitude they will find wisdom unalloyed by pacion and good advice untempered by profes sional cra ft, priestly ambition, or ,corldly policy What the vestry of St. Andrew's, II ,!born, did—per over their diocesan and go direct to the primate with their address—is a coarse that ought to be generally adopted. Curious, various, notable, and, at times, amusing and foolish u some of these different and clashing modes of treating the question are, there is, it most be admitted, an earnestness. a sin cerity, a resoluteness about the movement that un mistakably stamps protestantism on the national cha racter; that shows how mach more powerful and per manent are a nation's old traditions and time-honoured olicy than any modern innovations ; that proves how little real progress the new opinions of semi-popery have made ; which shows that the popular mind of Eng land is not formed at Oxford or moulded at Cambridge, where more or lees, though in di ff erent degree's, those opinions ars preval ent; which ought to remove from the higher and more educated classes, all more or lets infected, the delusion under which they have laboured that England might by degrees be habituated to, and ultimately seduced into, the adoption of ecclesiastical supernaturalism ; and which, above CI, demonstrates how high is the value the real, the actual, people of England set on honour, honesty, integrity, and con sistency ; how little they care for subtleties, for nice distinctions and fine-drawn differences. In all these manifestations the laity have seised on the substance, and left the shadow for the clergy ; they have laid hold of the kernel and thrown away the husk. In every instance they have struck boldly and directly at Papal aggression and Tractarian treachery ; but in not one have they advanced for the Church of England those preternatural pre tensions and that mystical character which their bishops and their clergy have for the last ten years been dinning (all in vain it now turns out) into their ears. They see in that church an ecclesiastical organ isation of their forefathers' manufacture ; they recog nise in it present usefulness. Bat they repudiate its claims to be more than human, or to be aught than the creation of legislation, such as is annually to be witnessed in Westminster. Nothing more. _ . . In this instinctive good sense of the middle clues (whom it now suits Dr. BLOILFLILD to praise and to atter) there is safety and hope. The part they have taken, the sentiments they are uttering, will not be lost on persons so sensitive to public opinion as the bishops. It was the silence of this class on Pussyism, their apparent indifference to its program, their pro bable lapis into its nets, that induced the episcopal bench to philander with P aseyism. But the real feelings of the country have become appareat—the bishops will quickly return to an evangelical disposi tion, inch Is will delight even Exeter Hall. But not so the younger clergy ; they have been beguiled by episcopal example into a deep and living belief in ecclesiutical supernaturalism; it has grown with their growth, and strength ened with their strength, until it has beams inseparable from them ; being yam-, they are too enthusiastic, ardent, and sincere. Wall is to become of them, Dr. BLOWITISLDP They have been led into • qusgmire by their spiritual superiors. Are they to ha left there, Dr. BAGoTP The position of these men in the church is most pitiable. They have been taught to regard with something approaching to horror the school of HOADLIT, of Wasson:rots, and of PALSY; that school is the natural rebound from supernaturalism, and to it we are returning. Who is to Ming the young Pomeyite clergy, with what STD. NIT Mimi called "their little books of nonsense," into that fold, Dr. Wu.siarows P But Cardinal Wiseman, bat and all, is amongst use the Archbishop of WISTWINSTER is now in Golden-eqoare ; and the Roman catholic hierarchy will be shortly ready, like &tames rod, to swallow all us protestant heretics sp. What is to be done? The danger is upon as. Row shall we escape it P Now the truth is that so far we are more frightened than hurt. If by disseminating Papal Balla in this country, Dr. Witiamms has committed any offence, the law will hold him Ile, cardinal though he be, for its violation. • legislation can touch so intangible • thing as an imaginary division by a foreign prince of Entic e d into foreign dioceses wise Eng li sh titles, let us all mane have the logislaties.

Tax Trade Returns far the first nine months of 1830 bear unequivocal testimony to the sound and healthy condition of oar commerce and manufacture'', and the general comfort of the community. The prospe rity is not con fi ned to one or a few branches of trade ; it is genersL With the exception of cotton, the im port of raw materials is on the increase ; without one exception of any consequence the exports of manufactures and produce are on the increase. The stimulus thus given to the carrying trade is enabling shipowners to share in the general prosperity. And ' the state of the entries for home consumption of such articles of general use as are subjected to import duties shows that the people are enabled, by the briskness of trade and the employment it gives, to add to their comforts. A few samples of the Ads of the import trade will establish our position with respect to imported raw materials. Of sheep and lambs' wool the quantity Imported in the first nine months of 1848 was 53,093,1661b5. ; in the corresponding months of 1849 it was 56,771,8891b5. • in those of 18.50 it was 59,872,6391 W. There as been a corresponding in crease in the imports of lama and alpaca wool from 837,554165. in 1848 to 963,0191 be. in 1849, and 1,063,4571ba. in 18.50. The imports of raw silk amounted in the first nine months of 1848 to 3,140,40618 e., of 1849 to 3,660,1091 be., of 1850 to 3,727,358. The imports of flax and tow, which in the first nine months of 1848 amounted to 1,106,865 owts., amounted in the corresponding months of 1849 to 1,445,748, of 1850 to 1,437,740. The imports of cochineal were 8,487 cwts. for the first nine months of 1848, 11,734 of 1849, and 18,778 of 1850. In the first nine months of 1848 there were imported 47,663 cwte. of indigo ; in 1849 the importation for the cor responding months rose to 73,490; and notwithstand ing this extra import the amount in the first nine months of 1850 has kept as high as 61,694. Turning to metals we find the imports of unwronght copper for the nine months stated in 1848 as 13,119 cwts., in 1849 as 27,484, and in 1850 as 70,832. In spelter the increase has also been steadily going on from 8,586 tons in 1848, to 8,722 in 1849, and 11,429 in 1850. In the other metals, in hides, in oily, the increase is equally marked. The total declared value of articles of British and Irish produce and manufactures exported in the first nine months of 1848 was 38,534,8801.; in the corresponding months of 1849 it was 44,830,4141. ; of 1830 it has been no less than 50,286,4e21.The value of exports for the first nine months in 1850 is little more than 13 millions short of the value of exports for the whole year in 1849. The increase is equally remark able in our exports of textile manufactures in cotton, woollen, and silk, and in our exports of earthenware, glass, cutlery, and machinery. The transit trade is equally prosperous. The effect of this gratifying state of affairs upon shipping is visible in the navigation returns for the first nine months of the present and the two preceding years. During these months the clearanoes outwards amounted in 1848 to 19,616 vessels with an aggregate tonnage of 3,905,144 tons; in 1850 to 23,542 vessels with an aggregate tonnage of 4,677,162 tons. Of this amount of shipping actively employed, 12,813 ' vessels, with an aggregate tonnage of 2,815,261 tons, were English, in 1848 ; in 1850, there were 14,378 English vessels, with an aggregate tonnage of 3,167,418 tons. There entered inwards in the first nine months of 1848, in all, 20,062 vessels, with an aggregate tonnage of 4,103,908 tons; in the first nine months of 1850 the number was 24,020 vessels, their tonnage 4,593,445 tons. The proportion of English snails among these, in 1848, wee 13,812, with a tonnage of 3,047,577; in 1850 it was 13,972 vessels, with a tonnage: of 3,038,975. The coasting trade keeps its ground, notwithstanding the daily in ' creasing competition of railways and canals. But 6f all the indications of general prosperity in the returns of the Board of Trade, the most gratify ing are those which show the amount of consump tion. In the entries of coffee and cocoa for con sumption there is a slight falling off, which is more than compensated for by the increase in tea. The eatries for consumption in sugars are nearly stationary, but the sugars of our own possessions bear a larger ' proportion to the whole. The imports of live animals ' have increased in number from 126,674 in 1848, to ' 138,423 in 1850. The increase in the quantity of provisions imported is equally marked, especially in ' the articles of bacon and eggs. In the first nine months of 1848 there were entered for consumption ' 1,209,893 quarters of wheat, and 632,735 owts. of • wheat meal and flour • in the first nine months of 18.50, there were entered 2.824,559 quarters of wheat, ' and 2,203,580 cwts. of wheat meal and flour. There I is also an increase in the articles of common wear imported. Facts like these speak volumes as to the healthy date of industry of the country, as to its adequate remune ration, and u to the augmented comforts of the great body of the people. And for all these benefits we are indebted to hie trade. SPAIN. MADRID, Nov. 8. The sitting of the Chamber of Deputies was taken up with the verification of powers. The committee on the address was to hear the ministers. The Drench ambassador was daily expected back. Nov. 7. The Cortes held a sitting today, in whiCh . aZine sharp debating,took place upon the wholesale bribery and intimidation employed by the government at the elections. The discussion was began by Fernandez Beets, a member of the :opposition, who felt himself obliged to rise and accuse the government. because the Home Department had taken ears to keep out of the Chamber men who might ban done so more an tually. During the election some *teeters bad their houses searched and their peewee arrested, under the pretext that they had been smuggling, in order to prevent them from going to the poll. He then went on to detail other similar sots. Senor Cecina, the deputy of the district raluded to, rose to reply in a maiden speech, which went on swimmingly for the first five minutes, when he broke down, alter some preliminary stammering, to the great amusement of the galleries, which, as usual, were filled with law and medical students. The Chamber, composed as it is of anisterialista, for the meet par t confirmed the election. On the report upon the Barbeetro election being read, Mados, the Catalo nian deputy, rose, and began to lament that the men who bad accompanied him in his parliamentary career daring 16 years bad bass kept out of the Chamber b the intrigues of the Home Minister, Findi ng himself alone. he woad not have oonsen'ed to come here; but, knowing that the press is not free, and that indi vidual liberty is menaced every day, be thought that he ought to raise his voice in the only tri bunal in which an appearance of freedom was left.

A semi!ellicial node* is en lifetelear says that General Neumayer had dunning ise be placed on half-pay. The President et the &labile, taking into , consideration his former services; has maintained him la the cadre of activity. Much greater sensatioa his been made to-day by aa ingenious satire in a newspaper than by the re opening of the Legislative Assembly. The Presse published this morning a document entitled " Message of the President of the Republic to the Legislative Assembly," and signed L. N. Bonaparte. People stared at first to see this extraordinary apparent fore stalment of an official document which had not yet b.-esen submitted to the presses of the National print ing office, and which was known to be guarded with the most jealous secrecy. But a httls inspection showed the thing to be a hoax. Under the successive heads of Internal Policy, Taxes and Budgets, Laborious Classes, Agriculture, Industry, Com merce, Instruction, Law., the most radical principles appeared clothed in a rhetorical garb un known to the official school. Still it was not easy to account for the name of the President being attached to a document so manifestly apocryphal. The fact is that M. Girardin had got together a heap of pam phlets, published at various epochs by M. Louis Na poleon Bonaparte, and taking a pair of scissors cut thereout and watered together this notable pseudo message, edifying patchwork, significant of the changes which have come over the mind of Louis Napoleon since he has been installed in the presiden tial chair. This ingenious custom has been the sole talk of Paris all this livelong day, and great was the buzzing of the Bourse over the singular production. The sensation produced in high regions, as the phrase is, was of vehement displeasure. An official communication of the following tenour was immediately rent to the Pouvoir, the Patrie, and the Mora cur du Soir. . " The article published by the Prase of this morning, under the the title of ' Message of the President of the Republic to the Legislative Assembly,' is nothing but a collection of fragments borrowed from sundry publications composed at different epochs by the President. Public opinion will appreciate the fairness; of such a compilation. (Communicated.)" Another official communication to the same organ is as follows: "The Procurenr of the Republic has caused to be ;seized at the post and in its offices the journal La Press*, for the pub lication of an article, entitled , Rentrie de r Assembles National, which contains a document 11,aded " Message of the President of the Republic to the Legislative Assembly," and signed "L. N. Bona parte." A prowcaion has been instituted against the permit of the Preset), under the inculpation of having published, with bad faith, false news, and a document forged and mendaciously attributed the same to • third party; which news and document were of a nature to disturb the public peace. (Communicated.)" The commissioner of the Bourse caused to be posted up at the Bourse the following notice :—" The pre tended message of the President of the Republic pub lished this morning by the Preue, is a completely apocryphal document. This journal has just been seized.' The latest report upon this subject is, that M. Girardin himself had been arrested. The Assembly met to-da to resume its legislative labours, bat without any so lemnity. A great crowd of people, mostly of the lower orders, thronged the Place de la Concorde and the approaches of the bridge. After the names of members were called, and the absent ascertained, a demand to authorise the prosecivion of M. Chavoix, for having killed M.Dupont in a duel, was read, and some remarks were made on the precedents of the Assembly in such matters by M. Leo de Laborde, by the Minister of Justice, an d M. Crernieux. The chief business of the sitting con sisted of shaking hands and embracing, cougrat alating and greeting. A slight movement of attention was apparent whom M. Dupin announced the presentation by M. Base, one of the questors, of a motion relative to the commisearyship of the police of the Assembly, the suspension of M.

Oar correspondent at Rome, in hie letter of the 4th inst., states that the ultra-catholic journals attack the English and French papers, which have hitherto sup ported the papal cane% on account of their views of the Fransoni and Wiseman questions. M. de Mon , talembert had arrived in Rune, and narrowly escaped a charivari. The Pope had pronounced an oration to the Sacred College after the mass on All Sainte-day on the eoclesiastical affairs of Piedmont. Changes were expected in the ministry, particularly the dis missal of Baron Kalberosatten, who wu to be replaced by Prince Orsini. Connie Antonelli bad lammed an edict establishing a lloandal council of state according to the Pope's motuproprie of Sept. 18. _ Oar ooirespondeit concludes its letter thus : It was especially observed this morning that no one went on his knees to implore the papal benedia tioe and but a few of the bysetanders took off their hats as the sovereign eortips passed, in couseqsence of which coldness his Holiness chiefly occupied him self in blessing the French troops.

HOSTILE ENCOUNTER BETWEEN PRUS SIANS AND BAVARIANS. Letters from Frankfort, of the ikh, state the Prus sian troops commenced hostilities before Fulda on the Bth. Prince Thorn and Taxis had advanced on that day on the road to Fulda with the vanguard, his object being to change quarters and make a reconnaissance, the federal troops wanting pro visions. On reaching the village of Bronzell, the federal troops were met by a sharp fire. A division of the 14th battalion of Austrian rifles and skirmishers from the 14th Bavarian infantry regiment retired on receiving the fire; but the Prus sian troops were afterwards driven back, and the vil lage occupied by the federal troops. A little later in the day the Prussians fired on General-Major Heil bronner, commanding the advanced guard, who, with Major Baron Lamotte, was making a reconnaissance. There are different versions of this flair, varying according to the feeling of the writer, and attributing, according to political tendencies , the aggresaion to each party. According to the fiber Post Antes Zeitung, the organ of the Diet of Frankfurt, the hostile en counter led to the despatch from Count Groeben to Prince von Thant and Tazie of a letter, which stated that, in consequence of orders from Berlin. he (the Prussian) would, on the 9th, retire from Fulda, in order to occupy the military roads only. Our usual &deices from Berlin, of the 9th, have reached, and they fully confirm what we have heard of the ardour and spirit created and shown in the Roblin by the prospect of hostile collision with Austria. he strong is the feeling, indeed, that fears may rea sonably be entertained lest it should show itself in military demonstrations against any proposals that Austria might now make for pacification. Proposals have indeed been made by the cabinet of Vienna on the 9th. They are described by our own correspon dent to be se follows : Austria will allow the etappen straws of Hesse to be occupied by the Prussians, and will consent yet to free conferences if Prussia will permit the troops of the Bundestag to pass through its territories, for the purpose of subduing the Schleswig-Holsteiners. These proposals, supposing them to be real, were made, however, at Vienna, in ignorance of the levy of the Prussian landwehr. , The preparations for intervention in the Duchies are described as being pressed with the greatest speed by Austria, in order that it may be over before the ' utmost severity of winter has set in. But many things may occur to prevent the interference, among which the foremost will probably be the temporary settlement of the Schleswig-Holstein question without ' the Austrians or Russians having a hand in it. Matters, however, depend at present chiefly on the effect at Vienna of the calling out of the landwehr in Prussia. Meanwhile, in furtherance of preparation for active measures, an Austrian force is concentrating itself on the Bohemian frontiers of Prussia, and Joseph etadt is to be garrisoned and placed on a war footing. Count Bernstorff, it is understood, decidedly objects to take the responsible office of Minister for Foreign Affairs. Prince von Solos Lich is now spoken of. ' An order in the Gazette recalls from foreign ser ' vices all Prussian subjects absent with or without • leave. To avoid punishment they must present them selves on or before the 15th of December next. The order will deprive the Holstein army of its beat officers and 3,000 or 4,000 men. The landwehr are assembling rapidly. The mea ! sores of the government have been very well received in the provinces. The city of Berlin has voted 60,000 thalers for the purchase of cavalry horses. • The military schools have been dissolved. The Prince of Prussia, aided by General Prittwitz, will receive the chief command of the army. IA PLATA. The Meuager of Monte Video, of Sept. 15, hu the following : IiODIitOLTIOX OP LZ TRZATT Or 1849. Our readers are aegueinted with the treaty signed by Predoer and Roses In 1849. That treaty has been rejected by France, and the modifications laid down by the French goveramsut ere to constitute the bate of the negotiation of 1850. They are as follows : . With respect to the preamble of the treaty, which makes allusion to the trews in which the independence of the state is acknowledged, the French government required that Macken's treaty shall be expressly mentioned. Art. 1 relates to a suspension of hostilities. It is left an. changed. Art. 2 relates to disarmament of foreigners, according to an arrangement with General Orib.. Tho French govern ment requires that immediately after the government shall have commenced at Monte Video, all the Argentine forms shall fall back to the left bank of the life Negro. Immedi• diately upon the completion of the disarmament the minister plenipotentiary shall notify the same to General Oribe, who will then lead the Argentine forces into the Argentine terri. teem _ _ Art. 3 relates to the evacuation of the Argentine troops with the consent of Orate. The French governsent does not object to the solicitation of that assent by the Argentine government Aitiailates to the raising of the blockade, the evacuation of Martin Garcia, the restitution of vessel., and the salute • tattoo of the Argentine flag. The French government assent. to them provisions, but requires that its own flag shall also be saluted with 21 guns. Art. 6 relates to the restitution of merchant vessels an d their cargoes. The French goverment qualifies this article by requiring that the ships to be restored shall be given up In the condition in which they actually are, and that for the cargoes which have been mold the produce of the sale shall be rendered. Art. 6 relating to the navigation of the Parana b not altered. _ _ Art. 7 relating to therights of the Argentine oonfedera tion ea to peace and war, reserves the discussion of its prin ciple for subsequent arrangement with the French govern ment. The latter now declares that it will admit no ulterior claims or discussions. Art. 8 Maws to the contingency of a refusal on the part of the Monte Videan government, to disband its legions, and is confirmed. Art 9 relates to the nammeity of the consent of its ally u an indi*msable condition of may arrangement or conven tion. The French government does not exclude the concur rence of General Oribe, but will not bind itself to wait for it. Art. 10 relates to the interior concerns of the Eastern state. It is confirmed. relate. to the title of Brigadier to be given to Oribe in the French text, while in the Spanish he is to be called President, and to the designation " Chvernount of Monte Video" in the French text, and "actual authority" in the Spanish text. The French govemenentrequitros that bribe shall be ogled "General" and the Monte Videan govern ment designated by that title in both texts. Articles 12 and 13 are confirmed. The stuns journal adds: " According to the above, the with drawal of the Argentine troops will be simultaneous with the disarmament, bat a number of troops will remain in this country, equal to that of the French troops and marines, who will leave for France two months after the ratification of the treaty: after these have been withdrawn, the Argen tine troops will retire. " The salute will be offered to the French flag, but this will be regarded u purely an act of deference, and not of °bliss tioe. The remainder is exactly the tree of 1849.

AMENDMENT OF THE PATENT LAWS. DEPUTATION TO SIR G. GREY. Yesterday a deputation of the Patent Law Reform L ague, appointed to present a petition to her liejesty, agreed to at a public meeting called by the association, had an interview with Sir G Grey at the Home.ofßc?, White hall. The deputation coctisted of Messrs. Canspin, Price, Shepherd, Richard Waller, Townley, Mahon, and Ellis. Oa the deputation being admitted, Sir G. GREY said he ►aw there were reporters in the room, and he should therefore not give any opinior, but would hear what the deputation had to say, and as there was a cabinet council to be h. Id that day, he would ask them if they had anything to add to the stshmnents in the memorial of the society to the Queen, and to the statements made in the report of the committee to inquire into the Privy Seal and 4/net office. Mr. CAM PIN said he thought every one we+ prepared to acknowledge that the recommend►tlons of that report would go a great way. Whether they would satisfy all parties he ;mold not say. lie thought they did not go far enough, and that the charge of 301. for an Eiglish patent would not meet the cue. It MY obvious that something moot be done speedily, otherwise perswts who had applied for space a: the ensuing exhibition would not present their inventions. Mr. kIEPHARD said ther r e were men praeticallTitwork now at invention., and if inquiry were to be made he be lieved it would be found that all the recent improvements that had been mad* in locomotive engines had originsted with poor workmen who had worked out their idea in their own house,, but in order to bring it before the worli they had been obliged to place themselves in the bends of mita& itt., who put them off with frfil. or 1004, while the capitalist made perhaps his tens of thousands. If government could assist inventors by placir g patents =we within their reach, they would be doing them a great service. They did not desire to get patents for nothing, but that they might have provisional registration, so as to bring an invention be fore the public, and then get the patent for a low sum. Mr. PRICE was satiefild not'only that a much greater number of inventions would be brought before the public, but that a great addition to the revenue would ther.by be caused if the cost of patents were less. On account of the great charge many were now kept back. Ile had had great cup-Hence in this matter. He was secretary to • society which was formed with the object of assisting poor in ventors, bet the society felt to the ground because they wen not able to meet the very heavy charges for patents. It the charge was reduced to a rearonable earn, we should be better able to compete with foreigners, who got patents cheap. This country was the only country which made heavy eh eeeee on patents. In America the charge was most insignificant. Mr. LABOUCHE RE here came into the room, and _ _ 8k G. GREY said k would be better, as the matter wu and r the consideration of government, that they should confine themselves then to hearing communications. That was better than discussing the matter there. As reporters were in the room, be thought it better rot to express any *pinion. Any statement that the deputation might make they would tale into consideration afterwarde. Mr. CAMPIN remarked that maims the government did something, they would damp the ardour of those who were preparing models for the Exhibition. Mr. WALLER said he had three inventions now, but he bad not the means to take out patents. Several years ago he spent 1,0001. in making experiments and completing an invention for the improvement of locomotive engin,s, and 5001. more in travelling and other expenses connected with it. Ile applied for hie patent, and while the application was before the office 151. wu wanted for some fees. lie expected& remit tance, but he did not receive it on the day, and the consequence wu that all his labour went for nothing. Several patents had been taken out since, each comprising • part of that which wee included in his invention, but he got nothing whatever. Mr. LABOUCIIERE —Are lou connected with t h e Society of Arts Mr. CAMPIN—I am. Mr. LABOUCHERS—I am aware the Society of Arta bay. taken up the question, and I believe have appointed a committee. I want to knew if you are represented by that committee. /4,7:6AiiP IN said he believed the Society of Arts were only going into the rub! sot of the whole state of the law. Mr. LABOUCHERE—Is not the committee preparing definite suggestions for an alteration of the law? Mr. CAMPIN—What we want is to get the expense of the patent reduced, and also the preliminary registration at no cost. Mr. LABOUCHERE—Can you furnish to with your complaints on piper ? Mr. SHEPHARD—Our society has of itself no connexion with the Society of Arts, but there are several societies in Manchester and other parts of the country. In America a patent costs only 61. or 71. Mr. CAMPIN—The charge for a patent in A 0111671 is 30 dollars to an American. They hays a tariff of chime to foreigners. To Englishmen they say, "As you charge 00 much for a patent in your own country we charge you 500 dollen." Other foreigners are charged 300 dollars. Sir 0. GREY—You have stated in the memorial to the Queen what your object is. Flare you anything additional Se state Mr. CA.MPIN—We wish something to be done speedily. A thorough reformation of the law would take some time. The great thing is to get the protection at such a cost as to be within the means of the majority of tke inventors, whereas a the present moment it is not. Mr. TO WNLEY said he was an inventor, and was the originator of this movement. He had got a few specimens of his invention with him. (Mr. Townley here exhibited some woven bracelets of human hair.) It was generally said that the French were the only people who had any invention in matters of taste. He was anxious to prove that that was not so by exhibiting hie machine for weaving these fabrics. But he could not do so without he had some protection for his invention. The fact was, he was utterly precluded. Sir G. GREY—You mean by the expense . Mr. TOWNLEY—Yes ; a patent would cost 3001. Sir G. GREY—The expense is no doubt large, but it IS about 1001. . Mr. CAMPIN.—We ars speaking of the expense for Great Britain and 'rebind. It requires thrre patents, oae for Borland, ono for Scotland, and another for Ireland. Mr. TOWNLEY.—It would take a person a day or two to wears these articles. (The bracelet' before referred to•) I could =keg: of them in u many minutes, but I cannot exhibit without I h►ve protection for my invention. It would cost in. 101. to register it. Sir G. OBEY.—WeII, I will communicate with Mr. Latest/there. . LatbUCHEME.—What you want is not so much a general unsure of punt law u an immediate measure to reduce the expenses. Kr. CAMPIN. —The general question of patent law ia so large that we should not be able to get an smendm.nt of the plural law quickly. Mr. LABOUCHERE. —Well, I shall be glad to receive any written co-ununication from you statiog what you pre pose to accomplish your object.—Thedeputatioa then retired. Tim PonsEt BALL.—Yesterday the Polish cold- mitts. aasembled at the Guildhall, for the purpcse of making additional arrangements to carry into effect the Ball, which is fired for Thursday next, the 14th instant.
