THURSDAY. OCTOBER 21, 1858. The interest excited by the arrival of the over land mail from India has been greatly abated by the clear summary of the salient points of intelli gence conveyed by means of the magical wires, which by land or water afford instantaneous com municatious between distant spots. It is, however, anxiousrnboked for. Details are eagerly sought atter respecting the' exploits of our truly gallant Aidikers, and of the misconduct of those who, treated in the first instance with undue lenity, bitterly ex piated their crimes. The mutiny at Mooltan is, perhaps, the most important portion of the tidings. It is true that it was promptly and speedily suppressed, and that few of those concerned escaped to convey the tidings of their disastrous ex periment to other gangs. But it proves beyond the possibility of doubt the utter impossibility of ever again relying on the good faith or sincerity of high caste Sepoy troops, or again bringing a Bengalee native force into the field, or even entrusting them with minor duties. These men, from their too notorious disaffection, had been disarmed in the early part of the out break. But they were not deprived of food or pay ; they were not only maintained in unarmed ease, but a number of British troops, whose services would have been peculiarly valuable in other quar ters, remained inactive, for the sole purpose of keeping a close watch over the mutinous scoundrels. The necessity of such a course has become obvious, while the Brummagem AURUNGZEBE reigned in Delhi—while the safety of the fugitives at Agra was still trembling in the balance—while the garrison, cooped up in the Residency at Lucknow, and the helpless women and children under their charge, were destined to . a fate similar to that inflicted at Cawnpore by the archfiend NANA SAHIB on those who unfortunately fell into his power. The Punjaub remains quiet ! These men never attempted to join the rebels, although there might have been some slight hope of eventual success. But when the contest had virtually terminated, when all the strongholds had fallen into British hands, and the insurgents were little better than gangs of hopeless and despairing brigands—then they entered on the desperate attempt of taking a powerful fortress, and doubtless keeping possession thereof against all who should come to seize it, possessing themselves of arms under the care of British troops. It is almost needless to say that the audacious effort was speedily defeated, and terrible retribu tion inflicted on the offenders. They succeeded, however, in the first instance, in murdering a gal lant and distinguisned young officer and several of his men, but a change speedily occurred. Three hundred and fifty were killed during the contest, and an avenging Nemesis followed close on those who, in the first instance, sought safety in flight, but who were nearly all killed or executed. This mutiny has therefore been suppressed, and that in a manner to strike terror into all others similarly circumstanced. It has been asserted that it was occasioned by a report that a wholesale massacre was about to take place, but it is more easy for the Sepoy sympa thisers to find excuses than to obtain credit there fore. At all events, if men will yield to, and act on, such absurd suspicious, they must be contented to abide the natural consequence of their atrocities. The former mail gave the particular s of the brilliant victory achieved by General ItoBERTs over TANTIA TOPEE and the shattered remnant of the Gwalior Contingent. For some time he wandered helplessly without guns or stores, but by a sudden dash succeeded in cap turing the town of Sabra Puttan, notwith standing the strenuous resistance of its chief, who was eventually compelled to seek safety in our camp. In this town TANTIA obtained large booty, and, still more important, 40 brass cannons; but they did not long remain in his possession. He was again attacked by the Mhow field force, on this occasion under the command of General Michel, .who well maintained the reputa tll4 I 4 %kg Britiat 9factr, The malt, fte ws • , t , . . , JA`Ar a : ' "11S w t. 160-40 i4€11111111116'4111 learn from general orders, was " the capture of 30 guns and all their material, with severe loss to the enemy, and their utter dispersion." Sir WILLIAM GORDON, at the head of the Cavalry, made a most dashing charge, which carried all befL.re it. Another encounter took place bet een the troops under Colonel ROBERTSON with an almost similar result, the rebels being defeated with the loss of 400 or 500 killed. In Oude, it is said, there are still some 60,000 or 70,000 armed men. But what can they do when Lord CLYDE takes the field in full force, which he has probably done ere this? It is scarcely to be anticipated that any scattered remnant of the rebellion will remain at the close of the next cam paign. As we have already explained, so soon as the valiant Highlander is again in action, and the chiefs who have not irretrievably committed themselves and the natives will become the most active assailants of the fugitives, and strive to earn amnesty or favour by their vigorous pro ceedings. Such steps will most effectually ter minate the entire affair, and restore peace through out the entire of India before the arrival of another hot season. Lancashire and Yorkshire have, during the last few weeks, been in luck's way, as far as regards meeting men of science, art, and letters, and listen ing to the oratory of the great Parliament gentle men. Birmingham is to have its turn next week —when one of the most gifted speakers in the Legislature—beyond all question the most effective orator in the House of Commons is, as a guest, to be brought at last face to face with his appreciative constituency. Everybody will be delighted to read the speech of JOHN BRIGHT, if denied the gratifi 'cation of actually hearing it. We are not extra vagant, we believe, in asserting that not only Bir mingham, but that the whole country, is now looking forward eagerly for this speech of JOHN -BRIGHT'S, certain at least of this, . tiat it will in one way or another be eminently worthy of atten tion. Time was when the same curiosity, or rather in some respects a livelier curiosity, would have been evidenced in anticipation of a speech from RICHARD COBDEN. But if that great ex-Tribune of the People will run his head against stone walls, he must expect, as the result of so doing, to find himself silenced. It is an unfortunate circumstance with regard to some of the most remarkable men at different times in the House of Commons, that in the very pride of their public career they are suddenly removed from their useful and distin guished position before the public and thrust back into the semblance of obsculity—sometimes through their own fault, sometimes through the mere whim or misapprehension of their constituency. It is not so very long ago since Mr. ROEBUCK was denied access for a while to the House of Com mons by the bigotry of the Bath electors. Neither is it so many years back since Lord MACAULAY —then Mr. MACAULAY—was treated in a similar way by the electors of Edinburgh. But the libe rality of Sheffield compensated at last for the fanati cism of Bath in the former instance—while in the latter, repentant Edinburgh expiated its own ill conduct by spontaneously re-electing the great orator, historian, and statesman as its representa tive. During many years past, one of the most industrious and exemplary Members of Parliament has been the hon. and gallant member for Brad ford—yet for a session or two General PEYRONNET THOMPSON suffered eclipse, had no longer the cus tomary M.P. after his name, sauntered no more down Parliament-street at four of the clock during session-time, bent upon rivalling Mr. Speaker in his assiduous attendance upon the Sayings and Do ings of the Legislature. Eventually Bradford repented, in regard to General THOMPSON, precisely as Edinburgh had done in regard to the Right Hon. T. B. MACAULAY. Oldham has since done the same by Mr. Fox. Will Aylesbury, in like man ner, recall Mr. LAYARD at the next available oppor tunity ? And Stockport—Mr. COBDEN ? And Bury—the Right Hon. FREDERICK PEEL ? And one or two other similar little tiffs be made up be tween estranged constituencies and ex-representa tives? Next year will probably solve these and a few other equally interesting problems. There will be a new general election in all human likelihood—if only by reason of the prospective Reform Bill of 1859. And then we shall see if a change will come over the spirit of the dream of Bury, and Stock port, and Aylesbury, and a few other tetchy boroughs, which, at the last General Election, gave the go-by to their hitherto honoured representa tives. Mr. COBDEN we should be heartily glad to see back once more in Parliament, if only he shall have learnt, during the interval of absence from it, to be a little less irritatingly dogmatical and domi neering. Mr. LAYARD, too, we should be sincerely delighted to welcome again to his conspicuous place upon the front bench below the ga nioray, if he also prove to have learnt the lOsson obviOuslY • designed to be taught to him by his former constituents—namely, firmness of purpose and inflexible consistency. Had Mr. LAYARD been more resolute. in following the dictates of his own judgment, instead of hesitating and vacillating in very amiable but extremely weak compliance with the whimsies and fancies of the less able men about him, he would still have remained, he would still at this moment be, M.P. for Aylesbury. If Mr. COBDEN had been a trifle more conciliatory, just the least morsel in the world less dictatorial, he also would all this time have been M.P. for Stockport. The silence of Mr. COBDEN during the period which has elapsed since his signal defeat by a new man like. Mr— AKROYD has, it must in justice be allowed, in every way been eminently befitting the dignity of his high reputation. It would have been better for Mr. LAYARD, probably, if he likewise could have held his peace altogether, instead of lecturing as he did, rather rashly, in St. James's Hall upon India and the Hindoos— but then Mr. LAYARD is younger and more impulsive. That, we su p pose, i s his reason and excuse for what seemed at the time beyond excuse and without reason. However this may be—with all their faults—we shall not be sorry, we repeat, when (benefited and improved by their temporary withdrawal from public life) we again may congratulate men like Mr. COBDEN and Mr. LAYARD upon their return to the House of Commons. Ilis Excellency the Turkish Ambassador and Prince Vogorides have returned to town from visiting Sir Fitzroy Kelly, at the Chauntry, near Ipswich. Madame Musurus and family are still at St. Leonard's-on-Sea. The Marquis of Donegall and Lord and Lady Harriet Ashley will shortly leave Grosvenor-square for Harefield House, near Uxbridge. The Earl and Countess of Hardwicke and the Ladies Yorke have left Wimpole Hall, on a visit to the Earl and Countess of Derby, at Knowsley Hall, Lanca shire. The Earl of Eglinton is entertaining a numerous party at the Viceregal Lodge, in the Phoenix Park. Viscount and Viscountess Palmerston, who have been in town since Tuesday, will leave to-day for their seat, Broadlands. Lord and Lady Wodehouse and family are pass the season at their seat, Kimberley Hall, Norfolk. We regret to learn that the Lady Louisa Oswald is lying very dangerously ill at the family seat in Ayrshire. The Countess Dowager Cravan and the Earl of Craven have been summoned to Scotland to be in attendance on thvir misted ADDRESS TO LORD ELLENBO.ROUGH. The following address to the Earl of Ellen borough lies for signature at the office of the Indian Reform League " TO THE RIGHT HON. EDWARD EARL OF ELLEN BOROUGH, G.C.8., &C. " We, the undersigned bankers, merchants traders, and other European inhabitants of Cal cutta, interested in the good government of British India, desire to offer to your lordship the expres sion of our respect for your exalted character, and of our high appreciation of the principles enun ciated in your lordship's despatch of the 19th of April, 1858, condemning the proclamation of the Governor-General of India, whereby almost the whole landed property of the lately acquired king dom of Oude was declared to be confiscated. " Although so far removed from Great Britain, we participate with the great body of our country men in the desire for good government throughout all the possessions of the British Crown. And we have, from our position here, a special interest in desiring that the government of this country shall be conducted on principles of justice and sound policy. 14 lc Tally of us are engaged in commerce, and many whose pursuits are not strictly commercial have invested capital in undertakings having for their object the development of the mineral and agricul tural wealth of India. All of us feel how essential it is for the welfare of ourselves and of the natives of this country that the government of India should be conducted on such principles as shall, in their result, diffuse content amongst its people and con fidence in the good faith of their rulers. " It has been imputed to us that we are actuated by a feeling of indiscriminate revenge, which would confound the innocent with the guilty.' We un hesitatingly deny this aspersion, which has no foun dation on anything that we have ever said or done. We desire to see the punishment that the law awards visited on those who have blackened even the crimes of mutiny and murder by atrocities too hideous for contemplation, and we disapprove, and have never hesitated to express our disapproval, of the proclamation, by which the Governor-General lowered the dignity and honour of England in vain attempts to conciliate the men who were using against the Government, of which he is the head, the arms placed in their hands for its protection ; but it was never our wish that one in nocent native of India should suffer for the crimes, however atrocious, of his countrymen. Therefore it was that we condemned from the first the Oude proclamation—a proclamation, we venture to say, unparalleled among civilised nations in modern times in the wide scope of its indiscriminate seve rity, and which was addressed to a people, who alone of all who have been in arms against us, had some kind of justification for their resistance to a newly-imposed authority. " We contemplated with feelings of alarm the probable consequences of that proclamation, which did, indeed, confound the innocent with the guilty,' and we hailed with feelings of gratification and pride the admirable despatch by which your lord ship with a vigorous hand arrested the threatened evil in the bud. We rejoice to think that while such statesmen as your lordship remain to direct in the Cabinet, or assist the Government by their counsel in the senate, no great public wrong can be of long continuance. " We beg to assure your lordship that we shall ever regard with feelings of respect and admiration your lordship's conduct in the instance above re ferred to, and trusting that you may be long spared, under Providence, to assist by your maturedjudg ment and sound wisdom in the councils of the nation. "We have the honour to subscribe ourselves, your lordship's most obedient and humble servants." THE QUEEN'S .RETURN. The Queen left Holyrood, Edinburgh, yesterday morning at 8 o'clock, and was received at St. Margaret's station of the North British Railway at a quarter past 8 by the Duke of Buccleuch, the Duke of Richmond, Sheriff Gordon, the Lord Provost of Edinburgh, Mr. Adam Black, M.P., Captain Carnegie, of Her Majesty's ship the Edinburgh, Viscount Melville, and Mr. Hodgson. The road from the palace was lined by the 16th Lancers from Piers hill, a battery of Royal Artillery from Leith Fort, the Royal Sussex Militia from Edinburgh Castle, and a detachment of the Royal Sherwood Foresters from Glasgow. The band of the Sussex Militia was stationed at the palace, and the band of the Lancers in the Park. The weather was very unpropitious, but a goodly number of spectators were in the park, and at the station, who bade her Majesty adieu with very hearty cheers. The Royal party consisted of the Queen and Prince Consort, .the Princes Alfred and Arthur, and the Princesses Alice, Helena, and Louisa. The suite included Lord Stanley, the Hon. General Grey, Sir C. Phipps, Sir James Clark, Lieut. Cowell, Lieut.-Colonel Ponsonby, Lady Churchill, the Hon. Miss Stopford, &e. The train left at 8.20 uader the general 1 of Mr. Seymour Clarke, Mr. Hodgson, chairman of the North British Railway, Mr. Leishman, Mr. Horne, Mr. Kinloch, directors, and Mr. Roebotham, the manager, accompanied the Queen to Berwick. The rails wore very slippery, but the train arrived only two minutes late, having made up two minutes of time lost at starting. The Mayor of Berwick and a large assemblage of people were present to receive the Queen. The train left Berwick at 9.54, Mr. Copplethwaite, Mr. Cash, Mr. M'Lea, and Mr. Wharton, of the North-Eastern Railway, accompanying her Majesty. The first stoppage was at Bilston, where the Earl and Countess Grey, and Sir George and Lady Grey were on the platform, and conversed with the Queen. The weather now settled down into a dense fog, with thick drizzling rain, which continued until the train reached York. The train arrived at Newcastle two minutes before time. The Mayor, the Sheriff of Newcastle, the Deputy-Sheriff, Col. Robertson, and other gentlemen, with a large concourse of spectators, were at the station. The train reached Dar lington in correct time, and arrived at York four minutes before time. Here there was a grand display, as usual. The station was elegantly decorated, and the platform laid with crimson cloth. Her Majesty was received by Mr. H. Thompson, chairman of the North-Eastern Railway, Mr. R. Williamson, Mr. G. Dodsworth, and Capt. O'Brien. The Mayor of York, the Archbishop and the Dean of York, and Archdeacon Long were on the platform. General Sir Harry Smith, Colonel M'Pherson, and Colonel Smythe, with a detachment of the 22d Regiment, were present as a guard of honour. The band of the 2d West Yorkshire Militia played appropriate music, and a troop of the 18th Hussars, under Captain Scott, lined the front of the Royal' Station Hotel. The. Queen lunched in the hotel, and was loudly cheered by a vast concourse of people as she left her carriage and returned to it with the Prince Consort. The train left York at a quarter after two o'clock. Mr. Denison, chairman, and Mr. Pack, deputy-chairman, Mr. Alderman Meek and Mr. Barff, directors of the Greitt Northern, accompanied the Queen. The weather now cleared up, and continued fine throughout the remainder of the journey. At Doncaster there was a fine display of loyal feeling. Besides the Mayor and other officials, and a large company of the inhabitants, Dr. M'ark and his band of 40 boys were at the station, and played before the Queen. The per formance seemed to afford her Majesty high gratification. The next stoppage was at Newark, where there was a large attendance of people. At Peterborough the train passed over 21 fog signals, intended, we suppose, as a Royal salute. The station was crowded. The Bishop of Peter borough and his clergy were present in their robes, to gether with the leading officials of the town. The train was three minutes before time at Biggleswade, where her Majesty received a, very enthusia,stic welcome. The next run was to the goods station, Maiden-lane, Lon don, where the Queen arrived at a quarter after seven o'clock, and, after a delay of five minutes, proceeded by the North London Railway to the Kew Junction, and thence to Windsor. The whole journey from Edinburgh to London, a dis tance of 408 miles, was performed by six engines in 11 hours, the average speed of the Royal train being 40 miles an hour. The mean variation on the journey was only four minutes, and so complete were the arrangements that, when one of the guards observed the door of one of the carriages fly open, while the train was at full speed, he Pulled the signal line and in three minutes the train was stopped. Mr. Seymour Clarke was most attentive, and his management admirable. The officers of the respective rail ways throughout were complimented for their excellent management. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, WEDNESDAY, OCT. 20. The Queen and Prince Consort, with Prince Alfred, Prince Arthur, Princess Alice, Princess Helena, and Prin cess Louisa, left Holyrood Palace at 8 o'clock this morning, and arrived at Windsor Castle at 2.5 minutes before nine in the evening. A guard of honour of the Grenadier Guards, with the band of the regiment, was at the Windsor Railway station. Prince Leopold and Princess Beatrice arrived from Os borne at one o'clock yesterday, attended by Lady Caroline Barrington and Lieut.-Gencral Sir F. Stovin. The Hon. Beatrice Byng and the Hon. Emily Cathcart have arrived as Maids of Honour in Waiting to her Ma jesty. The Earl of Verulam has arrived as the Lord in Waiting. Colonel the Hon. A. Liddell has succeeded Lieut.-Gen. Sir F. Stovin as the Groom in Waiting. A deputation, consisting of Mr. John Brady, M.P., Mr. Charles Clark, M.R.C.S., Mr. Thomas Ballard, M.R.C.S., Mr. William Lobb Burton Payne, M.D., Mr. Harry W. Lobb, Dr. Fowler, Dr. Sparke, Mr. George Ross, M.R.C.S., Dr. Head, and Dr. Wood, had an inter view with Mr. Secretary Walpole yesterday at the Home office. Despatches from the Governor of Matti Were Yosteriv at tiat c9194.1111-921ce, LATEST NEWS. The following telegrams were received at Mr, Reuter's office : BERLIN, WEDNESDAY EVENING. The First and Second Chambers assembled to day separately, and re-elected unanimously their President, Vice-President, and other officials of the last se,ssion, and adopted unanimously a provi sionally prepared order of the house (Geschaeftsord flung). To-morrow at 1 o'clock a united sitting of both Chambers will take place. BERNE, OCT. 20. The Government of the Canton of Berne has an nounced to the Federal Commissioners that it has called together the Grand Council to decide upon the question of the execution of the Federal order with regard to the internment of the refugees. BARCELONA, OCT. 20. M. de Lesseps has received an enthusiastic and popular reception. Numerous delegations have paid him their compliments. This evening there will be a dinner at the house of the Representa tive of the Suez Canal Company, and a serenade given by the musical societies. To-morrow there will be a general meeting at the Exchange, and a banquet given to M. de Lesseps by the French part of the population. On Friday and Saturday M. de Lesseps will be honoured by banquets given by the trade of Ca talonia and by the Consuls-General of foreign countries. All the public authorities have taken part at the reception. FRANCE. PARIS, WEDNESDAY, 7 P.M. Fuad Pacha will leave Paris to-morrow for Constantinople. There was a Council of State to-day at St. Cloud —the Emperor presiding. The questions discussed were purely domestic. The Court will not go to Compiegne this year as originally proposed. Fuad Pacha, the Turkish Envoy, paid a visit to Count Walewski to-day, at the Hotel of Foreign Affairs, on the occasion of his approaching depar ture for Constantinople. Official despatches from Spain seem to suppose Government will have a majority at the coming elections ; but on the other hand the spirit of faction runs so high, and so much distrust is exhibited by all parties towards each other, that no one can calculate on what may occur from day to day. An ordinary telegraphic despatch, dated Madrid, October 20, says : " The Gazette of to-day publishes a circular of the Minister of Public Works, in which he recommends all persons em ployed in public offices to abstain from using any influence in the elections. The electoral accounts which have been received are favourable to the Government." The Emperor is said to be contemplating con ferring titles of nobility on a certain number of persons devoted to the Empire. A commission is about to be formed with a view of investigating the legality of certain titles now in use, as great abuses are known to exist. The Emperor may confer titles on a few distinguised military men—such, for example, as the generals who command the military divisions of the empire. A pamphlet is to appear in a few days (if per mitted by superior authority) from the pen of M. Bosselet, the Opposition, and consequently the un- successful, candidate for the department of the Eure-et-Loire at the general elections in June last year. It bears the rather bold title "De la Liberte et du Gouvernement," and is prefaced with an ad dress to the author's electors. The following are extracts : " In every society or assemblage of men," says M. Bos selet, " there is what is called the nation and what is called the Government. Either the _nation governs the Govern ment, which is then the reginie'of libeity, or thei Government governs the nation, when it is the regime of authority. All the rest is chimera and illusion. It is in the nature of all Governments to exercise the greatest amount of power. There is no Government that has not marched in this way. Thus, the Constituent takes away power from Louis XVI. and decrees the Unity of Assembly; the Committee of Public Safety wrests it from the Commune ; the D, rectory cheats the Five Hundred of it. On the other hand, it belongs only to the nation to exercise in its turn the greatest amount of liberty. But from our unfortunate habits, from our education, the teachings of our history, and our always directing our eyes to the Government, it is from it that we ask liberty, which is quite as rational as if I prayed my neighbour to walk for me. It follows that the nation has rarely had this confidence in itself, this inde pendent bearing, this energetic sentiment of its own force which is imparted by a just notion of liberty. To quote one instance of recent date among others—what occurred at the approach of the general elections ? Every one asked himself, Would the Government permit the elections to be free ?' Now, could a people accustomed to self-govern ment ever have asked so strange a question? Moreover, this incessant pre-occupation about the Government gave the idea of abstaining—as if a nation ought ever to abstain from the management of its own affairs. The reason of such weakness is that among us liberty is regarded as a mere gift from the Government to the nation. " But, say the majority,—Who talks to you of liberty ? Who now wishes for liberty ? Let us open our eyes to the fact, and let us not calumniate our epoch. It is neither ser vile nor the enemy of enlightenment ; but it is not blind : it is wiser ; it knows whither liberty has led it, and it will not on any account return whence it came. Nothing, in fact, is more reasonable. ' Rivers,' said Royer-Collard, 'no more return to their source than do events.' France had an attack of fever in 1848; that fever was followed by lassitude, lassitude by repose, and repose in its turn leads each day to health. Now, the health of nations is liberty. " See how the nation was modified by the general elec . tions. What was more natural ? During six - years Fran; had reposed from her political agitations; that repose gra dually restored her strength, and in June, 1857, she gave signs of convalescence. " Who denies that France has up to the present mani fested great inexperience in liberty ? People only who know not how to govern themselves are governed. Liberty is a science like other sciences; it is the most important of all which must be learned to be known. People spell it at first, and then read it. It has, no doubt, its perils, but such is the lot of all human things. The summer has its sun and its thunderstorms ; the sea its waves and its tem pests. But liberty is the dignity of man, and the guarantee of his independence. " The way that a nation learns to govern itself is that it tries to do so in spite of checks, and should think like the energetic people of the United States, who... say of a man who falls, it is a proOf that he wai . walking. "It follows from all this that it is not by calling the Government to our aid that we shall learn to govern our selvs. Let us not mix up our affairs - with it; let us be oc cupied only by ourselves ; let us think only of our interests ; let us defend only our own cause ; let us never ask ' what will the Government do ?' but rather let us always ask our selves, what shall we do ?' " We must wait for the publication of the book itself to see whether M. Bosselet developes the theme only touched on in the preface ; or whether, like the philosopher of antiquity, he only lets his truths out one at a time. The following are a few extracts from the cor respondence between Napoleon I. and Prince Eugene Beauharnais, edited by M. Du Cain, and which appeared a few days ago : " NAPOLEON. " . . .If the Registry Bill does not pass I will take it on my own authority, and as long as I shall be King the Legislative Body shall not be assembled. Let them under stand that I can do without them, and that I will teach the " m ist. how clo l u c d an , 25dtoh July.Nvith without them, em, since they conduct them selves in such a manner towards me. " EUGENE. " The Italians are really like children. One may com pare them to people who are asleep, and will not awake to be happy. " Milan, July 21, 1805." " NAPOLEON. " You are wrong to think the Italians are like children, There Is bad feeling among them. Let them not forget that lam free to act as I please. That is necessary for all people, and particularly for Italians, who will only obey the voice of a master. They will only esteem you as much as they will fear you, and they will only fear you as much as they shall perceive you are acquainted with their double faced and false character. Your system, moreover, is simple—the Emperor wills it. d , St. Cloud, July 27, 1805." " EUGENE. " I have had enough of trouble for some days past.

The following appears in the Pays :-- " A letter from London, of the 18th inst., informs us of the following facts. We are assured that the Government has received a letter from Gen. Camp bell, in which he expresses his regret that the rein forcements which had been announced to him had not been sent at the period agreed on. His army should have been composed, on the Ist October, of an effective of 30,000 British troops, and it has not yet exceeded 16,000—t00 weak a force to per mit him to undertake anything important. This situ ation of affairs is the more serious, as the native auxiliaries show a coolness at present for the Eng lish—the Goorkhas refuse to march until their de mands are complied with, and it has been necessary to disband several regiments composed of Sikhs. On the other band, recruits have not come forward in London as it was expected they would, notwith standing the large bounty offered ; and, in order to complete General Campbell's army, some regiments forming the garrisons of the fortified towns have been taken from places of which the garrisons are now weaker than they were at any former period. In order to provide transports for these troops the India Company has engaged in all haste the screw transports Tudor, Great Redan, Persia, Colombo, and Madras. The troops to be embarked in these ships will all pass through Egypt." BOURSE, Oct. 20.—The market was heavy at the opening, but large purchases were afterwards made in consequence of a report that the Portuguese dif ference was settled, and a general rally took place.

OPENING OF THE PRUSSIAN CHAMBERS. BERLIN, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. The following is the speech with which the Prince Regent of Prussia opened the Chambers this day _ _ _ I present myself to the National Deputies with painful feelings, but much confidence. I am called by the King to assume the Regency until God, in His mercy, shall have allowed him again to discharge the duties of his Royal office— an event which I incessantly pray for. It is a source of relief to me that the King, in his care for the common weal, has summoned me to assume the Regency. In obedience to this intimation of the Royal will, I have, in consideration of existing cir cumstances and of the precedents of our country, undertaken the heavy burden and responsibility of the Regency. It is my earnest intention to do henceforth what the constitution and the laws of the country require. I expect that the Chambers will do likewise. All the documents relating to the Regeucy shall be communicated by a special message to the united Chambers, and, if required, all further explanation deemed necessary shall be given. The more gloomy the aspect of affairs is, in con sequence of the King's health, the higher the stan dard of Prussia must be raised, by the conscientious discharge of our duty and by mutual confidence. The Prince Regent concluded the speech with " God save the King." By a decree of the 18th the King of Sardinia has has appointed M. Lanza, late Minister of Public Instruction, to the portfolio of Finance, and Advo - cate Cadorna to that of Public Instruction. The Piedmontese Ministry is therefore again complete, Count Cavour still retaining the confidence of the King, the majority of the Chambers, and the people of the Italian Peninsula. The Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian and the Archduchess Charlotte visited Durazzo, in Albania, on the 6th, and, in spite of their incognito, they were received by the Austrian Consul and the local authorities. This is the first Turkish town that the Archduchess had ever seen, and she appeared much interested at what met her view. The Archduke went on a shooting excursion on the lake, and on his return invited the consul to dine with him on board the Imperial yacht. At night they left for the lonian islands. Some time since a difficulty arose between the Neapolitan and Sardinian Governments, originating in the seizure of a Neapolitan barque by the mari time authorities of the Island of Sardinia. The vessel in question was supposed to be fishing for coral in prohibited waters, and was captured accordingly. The Sardinian authorities appear to have been in the wrong, as the barque has been restored. tir AMERICA. LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY NIGHT. The Canadian Mail Steamship North Briton has arrived with Quebec and Montreal advices to the 9th inst., the mails, and 180 passengers. On the night a boat put off from Belleisle with the master and three of the crew of the schooner Triumph, which was driven ashore on the west-end of the island on the 9th, and became a total wreck. Crew, however, all saved. In the River St. Law rence on the 9th passed the brig Eagle, barque Caroline Clive of Glo'ster, and Liverpool of Grange mouth, ship Ocean Monarch, barque Legatas of Sunderland, Glasgow, from Hull, and brig Camer ton of Worthington. An extensive fire occurred at Montreal on the Bth, in the large distillery of J. 0. W. Molso and Co. The loss is estimated at about £lO,OOO. At New York, on the Bth, cotton was steady, but not quotably lower. Flour was steady. , Wheat was heavy, and lc. to 3c. lower. Corn was also heavy, and rather lower. Pork was unchanged. Lard somewhat better, and a good sale. Rosin and rice without change. At Savannah, on the 7th, the cotton market was quiet, but unchanged. At Charleston, on the same day, prices of cotton had declined to per cent. since the beginning of the week. At Quebec, on the 9th, Messrs. Forsyth and Co. thus remark on the state of the timber market : " When we last issued our Circular' we advised a much more active feeling than had previously existed in our market, and the same buoyancy still maintains—the transactions having been on a more extended scale during the past than the previous fortnight—although we do not alter our quota tions.' Freights continue most unremunerative to the shipowner. At Montreal flour supplies were coming forward more freely, but the market was in an un certain state. The trade in imported goods was going on quietly . but steadily, and the aggregate R 11191 1 14 NTPA considerable. THE NAVY. Mr. 0. W. Lang, the newly appointed master ' shipwright at Chatham dockyard, has taken up his appointment and commenced his duties at that establishment yesterday. The line-of-battle sailing ship Trafalgar, 120, has a great number of shipwrights employed on her in Chatham dockyard, in order that she may be con verted into a 90-gun screw steamer with all speed. The line-of-battle screw steamer Hood, 91, is to be brought forward for launching at Chatham be fore the close of the year. Further experiments to test the iron-side ship Theory as proof against the fire of shot are being made by the gunnery establishment of her Ma jesty's ship Excellent at Portsmouth. We re ported the last trials, in which the iron plate four inches thick resisted effectually the missiles di rected against it from the gun-boat employed to fire them ; but it seems the 50-gun frigate Alfred has not established a result sufficiently reliable on which to found a reason for building, just yet, a fleet of " iron-sides" for offensive war purpose; the frigate has accordingly been withdrawn, and a boil fide iron steam battery, the Erebus, of 16 guns (one of the four built at the end of the late war with Russia) has been towed upon into her place to re ceive a similar cannonade. The experiment is watched with much anxiety. The Euryalus, 51, screw-frigate, Capt. Tarleton, C. 8., was taken into dock at Portsmouth on Tues day to have her copper'examined, having touched the ground when at Torbay, on her way round to Spithcad. It was found very little damaged, and a few streaks of copper soon remedied the defect, after which she was taken out of dock and is ready to go to Spithead. It is expected Prince Alfred and suite will embark for his voyage of in struction in a few days. The Britannia, 120, sailing ship, being nearly equipped. as the future training depot for newly entered young officers for the navy, the Illustrious, 72, Capt. It. Harris, at present doing duty, is being dismantled in Portsmouth harbour, and preparing to transfer her establishment to the former ship. Preparations were making yesterday on board the Victory . in Portsmouth harbour for garlanding and otherwise decorating in festive gear that time honoured old ship this morning, in commemoration of the battle of Trafalgar, to-day being the 53d an niversary of that eventful action. On the 19th inst., the Cressy, screw guard ship, Capt. E. P. Halsted, at Sheerness, proceeded down river to test her engines, machinery, boilers, &c. On her return, near th e G rea t N ore , a t a b ou t four p.m., she grounded on the Patch, to the southward of the Nore light-vessel, and remained there for some time. She was afterwards on the flowing tide got off, by nearly all her ship's company being sent forward and out on her bowsprit, jibboom, &c., to lighten her aft. She arrived at her moorings be tween 8 and 9 o'clock p.m. the same day. Yesterday orders were issued that after the launch of the Edgar, on Saturday, another 91 gunship, to be called the Anson, of jrecisely the same propor tions, is to be laid down in the same slip. The Ed gar, after launching, will be removed to Sheerness to be completed. Some interesting experiments with two of Peake's lifeboats will take place at the time of the launch. The committee of officers appointed to report on the fuel used in the Royal steam navy, and more especially as to the .relative merits of the Welsh and north country coals have just sent in their report to the Admiralty. The result of their inquiries is, that north country coal is superior to the Welsh. It can be burnt without smoke, and less detriment to the boiler tubes than takes place from the use of Welsh coal, and conse quently they are of opinion that it is more desirable to be furnished for the use of the steam navy. Yesterday the Admiralty took up the Ehzabeth Ann for the conveyance of a large quantity of stores (military and naval) to Hobart Town. Yes terday the new tonnage regulation with respect to transport ships taken up by the Admi ra lty came into operation. All kinds of Government stores are now laid down at a fixed rate of tonnage and measurement. Yesterdly orders were issued to dock the Turkish line-of-battle ship Shadia, at Devonport dockyard, in order to fit her with a screw propeller. The Turkish frigate Tithil still remains in Devonport harbour. The Said, iron screw steam yacht, built by Jones, of Liverpool, for the Pasha of Egypt, at a cost of £BO,OOO, is ordered to be taken to Alexan dria by Capt. Campbell, formerly of the Cunard ser vice. H.M.S. Cesar, 91, screw, Capt. Frederick, is be ing prepared for foreign service at Devonport. It is probable she will be ordered to reinforce the Mediterranean squadron. Yesterday orders were received at the Royal Naval Rendezvous, Tower-hill, that no more stokers or boys were to be entered for service in the Royal navy until further orders. Petty officers, first-class ordinary and. able seamen, and artificers, however, are to be entered:for ten years' continuous service. Instructions were also forwarded from the Admi ralty that continuous service men were not to be ap pointed to cooks' stewards' or ships' stewards' ratings. All men so placed in ships on foreign sta tions will have their time reckoned as continuous service. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty : Navel Cadets—J. E. Miller, to the Centurion ; H. C. Kane, to the Brunswick; H. W. Dowding, to the Centurion ; W. A. Huddleston, to the Renown; A. B. Mansell, to the Conqueror ; P. N. Tyrwhitt, to the Conqueror ; R. B.

St. Clair, to the Orion ; Edward J. Bourke to the Royal Albert. THE ARMY. The - Hon. Council for India will to-morrow take up the required amount of tonnage for the con veyance of reinforcements, to the number of 579 cavalry and infantry, from Gravesend to Calcutta. The whole of the reinforcements arc ordered to em bark between the 4th and sth of November. The wives and children of the Ist battalion of the 3d Foot, the 28th, 46th, 48th, and 91st are daily expected at Portsmouth from the Mediterranean in H.M.'s steam troop ship Urgent, Commander M'Donald, whence they will be forwarded to their respective homes. This morning the whole of the metropolitan, as also the Woolwich and Deptford divisions of the enrolled out-pensioners of Chelsea Hospital and the East India Company, will assemble in their respec tive localities for nine days' training and battalion drill. The annual review of the whole of the divi sions by Sir A. M. Tulloch is this year to be dis pensed with in Hyde-park, but each division will be separately inspected on its training ground. MILITIA. The Ist Durham Militia, 400 strong, under the command of Lieut.-Gen. the Duke of Cleveland, K.G., was inspected on Thursday last at Barnard Castle. by Col. Douglas. Inspector-General of Mi litia. The regiment, after going through a long course of company and battalion drill, formed square, and were addressed at considerable length by the inspecting officer, who said it was his duty to inform the regiment that he was perfectly satis fied with all that he had seen. The clean and sol dier-like bearing of the men reflected the greatest credit on both themselves and their officers, and their movements in battalion far surpassed any thing that he could have expected from a regiment that had not been embodied for two years and a half. What pleased him even more was the unex ceptionable conduct of the mcn in their quarters during the whole of the 21 days' training, not more than half-a-dozen of whom had been in the guard house, and those for very trifling offences. He (Col. Douglas) would make a most favourable report to the Horse Guards of the efficiency of the regiment. Both officers and men are most anxious to be em bodied for permanent service. The 6th West York Regiment, Col. Hind com manding, was inspected at Ha lifax on the 18 th inst. by Col. Harding, C.B. Notwithstanding the unfa vourable state of the weather, the regiment went through their exercise with remarkable steadiness, and at the conclusion the inspecting officer ex pressed himself as being well satisfied with the regiment in all respects, and stated that he should, in his report, mention how well he thought of it. The Lord-Lieutenant (Earl Fitzwilliam) also ad dressed the regiment in highly complimentary teums. The Pembroke Militia Artillery, under the com mand of Colonel Owen, were inspected at Haverfordwest on Monday by Colonel Crofton, Royal Artillery, and were highly complimented by the gallant colonel on their smart appearance and general efficiency. The excellent band of the regiment was in attendance. The 2d Somerset, Lieut.-Col. Pinney commandant, training at Bath, is expected to be ordered to the camp at Aldershot, to be embodied. Three companies of the Royal Limerick Militia, quartered At - PU*2l9llth (F 94 " Abgria. " ) / Pro' teed this day to Parkhurst, Isle of Wight, to join the head-quarters of the regiment. The Waterford Militia Artillery arrived in gar rison at Portsmouth yesterday from Plymouth by railway, and occupy quarters in the district. NEW LEVIES FOR OUR INDIAN ARMY. If any one truth has been brought out by the Indian revolt more forcibly than another, it is, that no circumstances can make the population of Hindostan combine for one grand, united, and, as it were, national movement. If any circumstances could have induced such a movement, a general rising against the English Government must have, last year, been the result. A vast, homogeneous, and disciplined army had resolved to throw off the yoke of foreigners. They had solemnly pondered over the fact, that they had conquered India for the English Company, and had asked themselves the question. " Why can we not conquer it, then, for ourselves P" They had the pretext of religion to put forward, as an excuse for their per fidy to the Government that employed them, "and to sanctify their ill-faith in the eyes of their countrymen. They were successful in placing at their head a prince of the most illustrious race existing in Asia. The single cir cumstance of the restoration of the house of Timur was sufficient to bow the hearts of the Mahomedans in their favour, as the heart of one man. By a sin gular coincidence, the acknowledged head of the last Brahmin dynasty that pretended to universal dominion in Hindostan came forward to join in the revolt, and willingly professed himself the deputy and lieutenant of the Delhi Emperor. Owing to special causes the warlike population of the great province of Oude unanimously declared against the foreigners. Many princes, chiefs, and heads of ancient families, came with their followers to swell the torrent of rebellion. Yet, in spite o these upheavings in various places, the greater part of India remained quiet, and the vast mass of the population was utterly unstirred. Such apathy may excite astonisment in Europe, but surprise is soon lessened when it is considered how numerous and how different are the races of men to be found in the great continent we call India. As well might we expect Austrians, Piedmontese, Englishmen, French, and Danes, to unite under one king and in one common cause, as the Rajput and the Kali of Gujarat to league with the Maratha of the Dakhan, or the Jak and Biluch of Sindh to make common cause with the effeminate Bengalee of the Lower Provinces. So far from such different tribes coales cing, we know that even the Brahmins of Gu jerat keep aloof from their brethren the Brahmins of the Dakhan. Of the Gujerati chiefs but one, and he a man of no great influence, the chief of Radhanpur,held any correspondence with the rebels. Descending still lower in the scale until we reach the aboriginal races who have been so long degraded, and even excommunicated by their Hindu con querors, we find the most unm i s t a k ea bl e indiffer ence to the Hindu cause. The theory promulgate I by General Briggs, that these tribes would supply our armies with the best recruits, has been tho roughly justified by recent facts. Our commanders in Central India have found no difficulty in obtain ing excellent levies amongst the wild Bheels. The riding-master of a cavalry regiment reports that these Bheels are the very best recruits that have ever passed under his hands. They will make splendid horsemen. for they have no fear of falling off, and they are very obedient, good-humoured, and manageable. The only complaint against them is, that when they reach a certain spot in returning from their drill,m h3re they are for a moment out of the sight of the drill sergeant, they are sure to have a race with one another, and take almost as little care of their horses as of their own necks. The next body of despised aborigines who are supplying men to the recruiting sergeants are the Meenas. Respecting these men we have pleasure in subjoining an ex tract which we are sure will be read with much interest. Extract despatch of Major-Gen. Roberts, dated Kotah, April 7th, 1858, published in the Lon don Gazette, June 11th, 1858--" I would also beg to bring to most favourable notice the services of Captain Macdonald and his corps of Meenas, who joined me on the march. They have most wil lingly made themselves useful in many -ways, guarding baggage, escorting prisoners and as working parties have elicited the admiration of both engineer and artillery officers observant of them. They were at the Pattanpole gate, and most eager to be employed in the assault had I re quired their services on that duty." The students of Indian history know what valuable auxiliaries the wild tribes of the Dakhan were to the Peshwas. The Ramosis and the Tiolis cap tured forts and harassed hostile armies for the Marath princes. They would, without doubt, do the same for us. We trust to hear of extensive progress being made amongst these tribes in attaching them to our cause and securing their support. From among them we may obtain recruits not inferior to the Gorkhas or the Sikhs in many of the qualities of the soldier, while at the same time we may be more secure of their fidelity. Raised by us in the scale of social elevation, they may feel their interests bound up with our own, and what the Hetkaris and Mawalis were to Sivaji the aboriginal tribes of all India may be to us. — Homeward Moil.
