LOCOMOTIVE CONTEST. The judges in this matter (Messrs. Rastrick and 'Wood, civil engineers, anti John Kennedy, Esq.) having delivered in their written report on the merits of the different locomotive carriages, the Board of Directors resolved unanimously that the; premium of 5001., offered for the most Improved locomotive engine, be awarded to the proprietors pt the Rocket steam-engirt, Mr. Henry Booth, and the Messrs. Stephenson.— Messrs. Braithwaite and Erickson, the proprie tors of the novelty, and Mr. Robert Stephen- Both the propritor of the Rocket, are both en gaged in improving dna perfecting the carriages. The former is now repairing at Mr. Fawcett's yard, and it is said that it will be tried again on the railroad when finished. A considerable alteration has also been made in Mr. Robert Stephenson's engine, which has greatly increased its powers. It was tried again on Saturday, wlieti it drew the enormous weight of 20 tons, ;it the rate of from 18 to 20 miles per hour ! The cutting of' the railway, at the Manchester end of the line, is now approaching rapidly to wards a termination. The excavation has been tarried by one set of men more than a hundred yards into the land of Mr. Jones, on this side of Cross , lane ; whilst another set, having formed a tunnel under Oldfield-road, are cutting in an opposite direction to meet it, and the eatth they remove is used to form an embankment on the lower ground, near the river Irwell. From the operation of these two parties of workmen, and the previous removal of brick earth from the line by Mr. Jones, a very few weeks will suf. ficia to complete the line. In the mean time a great number of men arc employed on the bridge over the Irwell. The foundation of the piers on each side of the river are, we believe, both laid; and notwithstanding the unfavourable sea son of the year, a coffer-dam is now forming in the middle of the river for the purpose of laying the foundation of the centre pier. The bridge will be a very handsome stone structure of two arches ) and will rise to a very considerable height above the surface of the water: A Com pany has been formed for the purpose of con structing a railway from Wigan, to join the Li-• verpool and Manchester railroad at Newton.— ..Mr. Vignoles has been appointed the principal engineer, and from his report we learn that the distance from Wigan to the point of junction will be 6i miles. This will make the distance from Wigan to Liverpool 23, and to Manches ter 21 miles.: The distance from Liverpool is, by the turnpike road 22, and by canal 35 miles; to Munchester Cie distance by the turnpike road is 19, and canal 22 miles. By a regulation of the Duke of Bridgewater's canal there has always been a charge of 3s. Bd. }:er ton for coal, which has had the effect of excluding the Wigan coal from the Manchester market. The present un dcrtaking will counteract the injurious influence of' this regulation upon the trade of Wigan.— The expellee of forming the road is estimated at 400,0001., the whole of which .sum is already subscribed in shares of 1001. each, chiefly in Wig2l; and we understand that the majority of landowners have expressed a willingness to give their consent to the undertaking. Messrs. Bat teri.bvy and Banks are the solicitors for the Com pany of Proprietors, and the Act will be applied for in the next Session of ParliamenL—Man chester Times. DIABOLICAL ATTEMPT' TO OVERTURN THE LOCOMOTIVE CARRIAGES. On Tlinrsday alernoon a miscreant of the name of M'Cann, was brought up at the New Bailey, charged with having wantonly and wickedly endeavoured to overturn the carriages on the Manchester and Liverpool railroad, near Eccles. Mr. Foulkes appeared to prefer the charge on behalf of the company of proprietors, from which it appeared that, on Wednesday af ternoon, a pedestrian, from Liverpool, who was tomirg to Manchester, applied to the condue tors or the engines to allow him to ride the rest of his journey, but was refused, on the ground that several accidents had occurred on the road, through indiscriminately allowing individuals to get on the carriages, and the proprietors had issued their orders to the contrary. &dm , (ineptly, this person informed one of the engi neers that he had perceived a man laying a num ber of wooden sleepers, and large stones, across the railroad, for the purpose of upsetting the car riages. A person was immediately dispatched to the spot pointed out, to learn the truth of the statement, as the engines were expected momen tarily, at their utmost speed. On reaching the spot the man found six or seven wooden sleepers, or planks, about nine feet in length, which, with a quantity of large stones, were lying across the road, and the prisoner was in the act of heaping more upon them. The case was proved against I the prisoner by several witnesses. Mr. Foulkes then produced the Act of Parliament granted to the proprietors of the road, and read the clause ' which related to and provided for an offence of the nature described ; from which he read, " that if any person or persons did, wilfully, cause an obstruction in the road, such person attending in the management might take them into cus tody, and if convicted, a penalty, not exceeding 101. nor less than 51. should be inflicted : and in defitult of payment of the fine, the party or parties offending should be committed for three calendar mouths. The surveyor of the railroad stated that the construction of the engines was such; that one engine propell e d a g rea t num b er o f carriages, and that the engines were managed by persons behind, who were totally incapable of seeing any obstructions, however great, upon the road, and that, if the fellow had not been de tected, the managers of the engine must in evitably have perished ;- and in all probability, • the engine and carriages would have been dashed to pieces. The magistrate (Major Watkins) inquired of the prisoner his reasons, or what could prompt him to be guilty of so fiend-like an act. The prisoner replied that he did not know, he was not quite sober at the time. The Major now said that he was not positive whether he could adjudicate in this case, with out the presence of a second magistrate ; but to obviate this difficulty he desired that the door of the other Court should be opened, as on the bench were several magistrates, who were at . tending to the proceedings of the sessions. He then convicted the prisoner in the penalty of 5/. The prisoner said that he' could pay the 51. in the course of the day. -He was then taken to the prison' until the -fine be paid. We would suggest to.the company of proprietors of the rail road the expediency of making some alteration in the loco Motive engines„with regard to the engineer liking stationed out of s i g h t of the road before him, as, - according to the statement of the surveyor, an obs4ruetion of-an app arent l y tr i v i a l nature would be .suf fi cient to overturn the car riage.--Manchester .Advertiser.

IRELAND.-SPECIAL COMMISSION. (From the Cork Constitution of Saturday.) SATURDAY-NINTH DAY. Baron PENNEFATHER and Mr. Justice TORRESS took their seats on the Bench, this day, at about half-past nine o'clock. _ _ Aff. SOLICITOR-GENERAL, and the Counsel for the Crown, being in attendance, Baron PENNEFATIIER wished to know what courss the Crown intended to pursue. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said, that his Learned Friends and himself had come to the determination not to bring on, this Commission, the trial of any other of the persons - against whom indictments had been found for the conspiracy. This determination had been induced ky two considerations —one, the character of the evidence on which the prosecution rested—the other, an honest wish to give to the men still untried time and opportunity fully to rebut that evidence. The Crown would have no objec tion to suffer the prisoners, still untried, to return to their homes; but on the condition that they should give boil fir their appearance, to stand trial at the next Assizes. Mr. O'CONNELL said that the Commission being now about to close, lie could not avoid saying that the proceedings of it taught two important lessons, which he would have al that heard him to medi tate on and appreciate. It first told the guilty, whosever or wheresoever they were, that crime is not safe; that a confederacy of guilt is ever likely to be broken in upon, and that those who are cal minted upon as the)nstruments of iniquity become the instruments of punishment and exposure. This was a lesson ‘vhich the Commission inculcated; but it inculcated another also—that the people should always have confidence in the laws of the country; end never was he more impressed with that tut - 03, than when he reflected upon the dignified, the almost majestic itnpartiality with which those laws had been administered, in the last of these trials. Baron PENNEFAT!IER addressed a few emphatic words to the gentlemen who had been summoned to serve as Jurors during the Commission ; he eulo gized their prompt and numerous attendance, awl bid them be satisfied that it was by such attendance they could best secure the interests of the commu nity, and render unfrequent the necessity of such calls as that they bad so creditalq . answered. The Baron next complimented the gentlemen engaged for the defence and the pr'secut►on, and concluded by remitting the fines which the Court had felt it its duty to impose, but which, upon inquire, it found not to have been incurred wilfully or negligently. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL—NIy Lords, I hope you will pardon me for making one remark, as from the circumstances of some of the cases remaining over for trial at the next Assizes, I have determined to abstain from offering some observations, which under other circumstances I would feel were neces sary. It is my Lords to say that in the assistance which the Crown received from the Gentlemen and Magistrates, who from the peculiar state in which they were placed, or in the discharge of their duty had to take an active part in those prosecutions, I never witnessed a more anxious desire to have the ends of justice satisfied, with the more tender feel ings of humanity. And would to God that some of the infatuated people who now disturb and dis tract that part of the country in which these trials had their might, were present at the different con sultations that it fell to my lot to have with these gentlemen in the discharge of my duty; they would find that in marking them out as objects of assas sination they were dooming to destruction their most benevo'ent friends, and their kindest benefac tors. This much I felt it due to these gentlemen to state; and I cannot also avoid expressing the gratification I feel at the prowl array of Jurors, who attended so promptly ut the call of the govern ment. Mr. O'CONNELL made come enquiry as to the amount of bail. Mr. Serjeant GOULD replied—The same as before. Mr. O'CoNNELL—That is reasonable. It was then ordered by the Court that the hail should be given before the Chief Magistrate of this city. Mr. 0' CONN ELI, sh3rtly after this withdrew. The SOLICITOR-Ui ENERAL and Mr. Serjeant GOULD took a farewell of their Lordships ; the lat ter personages remained a few minutes ruling the books, and then retired. We understand that the 14th of November has been named for the execution of John Leary and the three other men, who were tried with him. We should suppose, however, that we shall. hear more of this matter. On the adjournment of the Court, the untried prisoners were conduced to the Mayor's, to enter into recognizances—Michael Barrett, John Barry, Denis Shea, William Ileaphy, William Flynn, Charles Murphy, Maurice Regan, Owen Hickey, James Barrett, Edmund Walsh, Edmund Coghlan, and Thomas-Daly, to appear at and attend at the next General Assizes, or any other gaol delivery for which they should be noticed—Timothy Barrett and John Shine to keep the peace for seven years to all his Mejesty's subjects, more especially to Mi chael Creagli, Esq. The bail was the same -in all the instances— themselves in 1001., and two securities in 501: each. A considerable crowd followed the prisoners, of which the greater number consisted of their personal friends and relatives, who testified the most un bounded satisfaction as each of the prisoners were discharged—the women hugging them, and the men eagerly pressing to take their hands. The re• mainder of the crowd seemed to share and sympa thise in the general joy; and every tongue was loud in praises of Mr. O'Connell, to whose exertions this total discomfiture of the Crown Prosecutions is uni versally attributed. DEPARTURE OF THE JUDGES.—Shortly after re. tiring fa•om Court yesterday, the Judges left town for Darling Hill, in the County of Tipperary. the seat of Mr. Baron Pennefather.—cork Constitution. A melancholy circumstance occurred in Templemore on Friday last :—A young practitioner who arrived there lately from Dublin, attempting to rem: ve a lump which had risen to an enormous size on the head of a woman named BRIDGET HUNT, of Thurles, applied the knife to the lump, when he found, too late, that it was of a species called by surgeons Fungus Hentatodis—which is certain death if operated on ; the wretched woman died in 15 minutes. An Inquest was held on the body the next day by Mr. CORM A CK, Coroner, and the young gen tleman held over to bail to answer at the next Abeires for the woman's life. EXPRESS rßom PARIS. (From the Illessager des Chambres of Sunday.) SECOND EDITION. ODESSA, OCT. 7. As the health of the city and the environs is as good as can be wished, the coffee-houses, the inns, and public promenades, are again open. All the communications are re-established, and the sanitary cordon will be broken up on the llth. MALTA, SEPT. 27. The military preparations which the Governer has been making some days past, prove that Eng land will exert all its efforts to obtain a change in some of the fundamental conditions of the treaty of Adrianople. If the Cabinet of St. James's does not obtain what it demands by diplomatic means then war will be declared. The English fleets will blockade all the RussiaN ports, and Admiral Mal colm has orders to give chase to the Russian fleet both in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea. It is also said, that England has attempted, and will endeavour by all possible means to crrrupt the Paellas of the Sultan, and to persuade them to de clare against their master on account of the treaty of peace, which, if it is confirmed, will wholly de stroy their despotism. Lastly, it is added, that English agents have obtained from the Pachas of Widdin, Scutari, Servia, and Janina, the promise not to submit to the conditions which serve as the basis of that treaty, (From the Journal des Debuts.) (PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.) LISBON OCT. 17. The Viscount d'Asseca, in his last despatch, gives hopes, that in a few days the Government of his Britannic Majesty will acknowledge Don Miguel. However, 'he Viscount adds, that the recognition will not take place till the Cabinet of St. James's has received the despatches which it expects from Rio de Janeiro. It is affirmed that the Count da Ponta, Don Miguel's Minister at Paris, gives the same hopes, in his last despatches, as his colleague. The Gazelle de 'France, adverting to the reports ecntained, as it says, in all the Journals of the Re volution, respecting a pretended division in the Mi nistry,7are entirely destitute of foundation. There has been no divisions in the Council, ar►d the deci sions of the majority in all the discussions have not given rise to any dissension, and whatever the jour nals say, we may be certain that there is 150 idea of the resignation of any member of the Council. (From the Allgemeine Zeitung, Oct. 28.) VIENNA, OCT. 23.-51etalliques, 1021; Bank Shares 1226. Mr. Justice BURROUGH has consented to continue to remain as Judge until the new I,gal arrange— ments are carried into effect. Two new Judges, it is said, are also to be appointed, in addition to the present twelve. The eldest son of General BLucilEn:died on the 10th of October, at Koepenick. This officer held the rank of Major-General. He died after protracted suffer ing., in consequence of the dangerous wounds be had re ceived in the campaigns of 1813. His Grace the Duke of BUCKINGHAM and CHANDOS is expected at Avingtort House in a few days. The amiable Duchess has been a constant resident there for some months, dispensing her bounties to the pnoi - of the surrounding neighbourhood.—Hants Chronicle. A matrimonial alliance is whispered in the foreign fashionable circles as likely to take place between a Continental Princesa of high rank, fashion, beauty, and accomplishments, and a certain Duke of amiable manners and large estates in this country, but who has always been supposed, front family or other circumstance s, to be the most unlikely person in the woald to lead any female to the altar.—Berhsla ire Chronicle. The police barrack at Ballinasloe was burnt down on Wednesday night, and but for the laudable exer tions of Captain DEANE with his detachment of the sth Infantry, the fi Irnee would have spread to the adjoining houses. The fire originated in the negligence of a female who left a lighted candle on the bed.— Tipperary Pape;; Two causes were tried in the Court of Com mon Pleas last week, and verdicts found for the plaintiffs under the direction of Lord Chief Justice TINDAL, which have occasioned much surprise, and etill more alarm, amongst people of all ranks in this metropolis; and if the law, as laid down by his Lordship in these causes should be confirmed by the Court of King's Bench, in which the causes will be re-argued on Bills of Exception, the mis chief which will ensue in society at large will be of the most disastrous character. The facts of the case are simply these :—ln March, 1825, certain par sons met together, and concocted the Imperial Distillery Company, which was to consist of twelve thousand shares at 50/. each, constituting a capital of 600,0001. They invited, by a Prospectus and Adver tisements, persons to apply for shares, stating at the sane time that those to whom shares were promised were to pay a deposit of Si. per share by a given slay ; and that the holders of the receipts for the deposit would be entitled to certificates of shares on paying the next instal ment and signing the trust deed when that instalment was prepared; and further, that those who did not pay the second instalment and sign the deed within thirty days after being required to do so, would forfeit their right to shares and all interest in the Company. On the faith of these notices many persons applied for shares, of whom a large proportion sold their Scrip receipts or right to shares, or declined to become partners by signing the deed when it was proposed. A small number paid the s:'cond instilment, and signed the trust deed. It should be here mentioned, that althoueli the Company was to consist of 12,000 shares, the number appropriated did not amount to 8,000, and that of these, not more than 2,300 paid even the first deposit; notwithat ending which the Directors proceeded with the undertaking, agreed to purchase pre wises, repaired and fitted up these premises, but forgot to pay for them or the repairs. Proceedings were instituted for the recovery of these sums from some of the Directors and persons who hail signed the trust deed ; and it is under stool that these parties atintitted their liability, but per suaded the claimants or their solicitors, under some in demnity, to commence actions against other individuals who might be considered also liable ; in consequence, actions were instituted against a large number of persons, amongst whom were many who had done nothing but . ask for shares, and received a letter telling them that shares were appropriated to them ; others, who had paid the first de posit, but declined to pay th. second, or to sign the deed, and others who, having paid the first deposit, sold their scrip receipts, and never took any further concern in the Company, and consequently neither paid the two instalments nor signed. After various delays, during which many of the parties bad been terrified into a compremise, the actions were brought to trial last week against the remaining persons in cluded in the Record ; arid Chief Justice TINDAL laid down the law—" That any person applying for shares and re ceiving an answer that shares were appropriated (although the conditions on which be was to become entitled to the profits of the Company were not fulfilled), was re part ner, and liable individually to the whole debts of the Company." Under this construction of the law of co partnerships, verdicts were obtained against persons Who had never intended to become partners, who could not have shared in the profits of the Company if there bad been any, and who had not in any way held themselves out as partners. This question is one of vital importance, not only to the parties included in the verdict (in which we understand there are sonic gentlemen of high respectabi lity, and whose absolute ruin it will effect), but to every man who ever had a share, or applied for a share, in a Company. And we believe there are very few men of any propel ty or consequence in London who were not in some way or other connected with the Companies formed in 1825. If the mere application for shares, without any subsequent fulfilment of the conditions on which a person was to become a partner, is to establish a co-partnership, them is at once an end to all credit in London. and no man can either buy or sell until these liabilities of all sorts are cleared up. But is it not tnoestrous that such law, which is no where -to he foand bnt in the dictum of a Judge, is to be aPowed to be acted upon? The laws are merle for the protection ofproperty, not for its suhversiaon ; and all law is, or ought to be, founded upon coin naon sense or common justice. Is this so in the cases we have cited, where persons who were, in common sense, nowise responsible, are made to pay, while those who, likewise in common sense, are liable, are to escape ? But it is by such proceedings that the people become disgusted with the laws under which they find themselves living. , Sonic steps on this subject must, however, necessarily be taken ; and some declaratory law must be passed of the liability of those who give orders upon responsibility which they themselves assumed in me.ny of the newly-constituted Companies, and the non-liability o those who, contrary to the reason of the thing, have been thus entrapped into partnerships which they had never entered.—Morning Chroniele. rMCES or STOCKS THIS Belk Stuck 21 5 1,4 14 3 !Icy rent.

The Special Commission at Cork terminated its labours on` Friday last. This was to be ex pected after the turn which the course of the trials took in the second instance, strengthened as it was by the unanimous acquittal in the third trial. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL saw in the temper of the Jury, the sympathy of the Judges, and the convulsed feeling of the public mind, that it was of no use to proceed further, and the other prisoners were allowed to return to their homes. The question now come., what will be done with the four first prisoners who were found guilty ? Ihe Judges appointed the 14th of November for their execution. But will they be executed, when their fellows in guilt (for they were all presumed to be guilty) are suffered to go at large ? We hope not. Such a proceeding would seem harsh, though it might be just. People will now naturally say, that if the con victed prisoners had been tried by the subse quent juries, they too would have escaped. They may have been more guilty, but the pre sumption will now rise up in their favour, that it was only their misfortune, not their guilt,.which placed them first on trial. We know that it is usual to try those presumed to be most guilty first, but the singular turn which the subsequent trials, took will all be so me.9y points with the multitude in favour of the convicts. Let Government take the matter either way, and they are placed in a very awk ward dilemma. Ti ue, they have the, verdict of the Jury in their favour, if bloody-minded—but so had Shylock his bond. Mercy, in such a predicament, is the wiser coune ; and sure we are, that Government is mercifully inclined. It was only an imperative sense of what was due to public justice and public safety, that dictated the Special Commission. The up rightness and impartiality of the Government were displayed by their promptitude in meeting a manifest public evil, and the result has vindi cated the character of the Government, while it has established the purity of the administration of Justice. We say then, let mercy be shown to the unfortunate, :and Government will find the best reward in the gratitude of the people. The character of the evidence, apart from other considerations, is sufficient to war rant this course. The proud impartiality with which the trials were conducted will greatly tend to make the ad ministration of the law henceforth respected in Ireland. Upon this subject we have the con currence of the Cork Constitution, which says that the necessity of the Special Commission was self evident ; but that as to the conduct of it --,( never since the introduction of English law into Ireland, has justice been exhibited in a form so near perfection." The Cork Consti tution is what is termed an Orange Paper, and this avowal comes from it with accumulated weight. It adds, " As far as the state of society in Ireland will permit the trial by jury to put forth its intrinsic—blessings—we will call them—and we say with regret that the actual state of Irish society, does greatly limit the full measure of the direct and consequential advantages of that in comparable mode of trial—so far, and to the utmost practicable extent, they were carried. Such a panel of Jurors never was seen be fore in this county—never was exceeded in any-for the i n t e lli gence , i n d epen d ence , and moral character of those of whom it was formed—and we may say for all the essential qualifications proper for men who are to pronounce upon the lives of human beings." And again it observes, in answer to a charge by the Dublin Evening Post that the whole proceed ing was a struggle between Parties ;—" We (the Conditution) are spot—the trials DAT AT ONE O'CLOCK.

Bank for Acc0unt.......... - India for Account Cons. for Account 9l have passed under our very eyes,—and we can truly aver, that from the beginning to the end ing, a single tinge of Protestant party feeling never was perceptible in the conduct of a single person of any description engaged in the con ducting of the trials, or in a single member of the Jury. Of the eleven Gentlemen who formed part of the Jury on the second trial, and from whom Mr. MORROGII differed—no doubt whatever upon conscientious grounds— there were many Roman Catholics. Upon the Jury which acquitted Burke and Shine on Thursday, we believe there was not one Ro man Catholic. Such evidence we hold conclusive, and Go , - verntnent, we are sure, will now do more good to Ireland by clemency than by suffering the vengeance of the law to take its course. There is a time for making examples, but an unreason• able severity will defeat its own purpose. The present is a moment of much feverish doubt, and questionable policy—where doubt exists— incline to mercy, while even Justice whispers— it i; politic. Such a course will satisfy the well disposed, and strike a salutary terror into the disaffected mind, who will henceforth learn that the law is strong to protect and avenge, though temperate to punish. The Duke of CUMBERLAND'S visits to the KING have of late been almost daily. We un derstand his Royal Highness, on most occasions, is closeted with his MAJESTY for a considerable length of time. We are again compelled by a press of matter to postpone our Paris Correspondence. Pile following is from the Austrian Observer of the 23d October : ♦IENNA, OCT. 22. The peace between Russia and the Porte is con cluded and ratified by both parties. The end of the war in the East forms an important epoch in the history of the times. The impression which the termination of this war has made on the several parties who share the direc tion of public opinion, is not only decisive with re spect to the character of those parties, but afford the surest standard for their future efforts. Those ' who respect the maintenance of public tranquillity, harmony between States, and the regular progress of general prosperity as the greatest blessings of so ciety, the Governments which do not forsake their most sacred duties and their true interests, the ma jority of enlightened citizens, the great mass of the people, received the news of the peace with the same sensations of joy that it has excited in us. Very different was its effect on those who see in public tranquillity only the stagnation of their extra vagant hopes in the satisfaction of their few citi zens, a censure of their violent complaints, arid in the contests between the Powers the most favour ahle opportunity to advance their• ambitious wishes and their extravagaut plans. The adherents of this party, which has its chief seat in France, its friends all over Europe, have lat terly expressed their principles and views in so clear and open a manner that we do them no wrong if we characterise them as the declared enemies of peace. They have left no stone unturned, in order by hypo critical arguments, by declamatory arts, by a sk►lful use of the noblest as well as the most criminal passions, to prolong the differences in the East, and in direct contradiction to the declared sentiments of the Russian Monarch to connect with the issue of this war an endless series of new revolutions and new wars. Sometimes, under the pretext of pro- j rooting the civilization of the world at the expense of right and justice, and with the destruction of whole nations and empires; sometimes as the open panegyrists of the system of conquest, armed with the enticing words national honour, arid natural boundaries, they have with remarkable effron tery formed plans, the object of which was nothing less than the dissolution of all existing treaties, an extensive partition of territory,. and the arming of one half of Europe against the other. Their orators and writers have been indefatigable in sow ing, by die most wicked falsehoods, the most odious insults, the seeds of distrust, jealousy, and discord between the S'►vereigns, and if their art and their power had not been more circumscribed than their will, would willingly have spread over the best part of Europe the flame, which has burnt in fur too Her row a sphere for their wishes.* We could not be unprepared to expect that a party animated by such sentiments would receive with bitter dissatisfaction the news of the cessation of hostilities, and that it would endeavour to sweeten the loud expression of this discontent by compiling announcements of new feuds and new re volutions. As little are we surprised that when the • daily torrent of their accusations and abuse is poured forth upon all foreign Governments as well as their's, Austria is always in the first line. The calm altitude of this Court, from which it has never deviated during the whole course of the war, the constant tendency of its policy to maintain peace arid social order, its remoteness from all plans of • aggrandizement, its conscientious respeCt for all ex isting treaties, for the. independence of all States, all lawful constitutions, all just liberties, are unpardon able crimes in the eyes of a faction thirsting for con fusion and revolution. The organs of that faction will find even in the remarks which all here make, matter enough for insidious interpretation. We must allow them this as the vital principle of their system. Their future diatribes will only prove, as the past have done, as confirmations of the truth of what we have here expressed. " That what we here say is free from all exaggeration, we could prove by innumerable articles from the Journals published within the last twelve months. The well-known pamphlet of General Richemont was but the concentrated echo of these articles. (From Hamburg Papers to 27th October.) HAMBURG, OCT. 26.
