We are afraid too much truth is unhappily com pressed into an observation, uttered on Monday after noon in Conciliation-hall, namely, that the millions of Ireland " had suffered more than any other people on the face of the earth, and had actually diminished in population owing to their sufferings !" Privation seems, indeed, to be the natural heritage of the Irish peasantry. Engaged upon the most laborious employ ments—housed in the most dilapidated hovels—fed upon the scantiest sustenance, such as diluted meal por ridge, or a platter of dry potatoes, they are inces santly at the mercy of all the vicissitudes of the wea ther, of all the fluctuations in the temperament of their landlirds, of all those sudden distempers which result from insufficient nourishment, and inadequate shelter. Even when their occu pations are of the most satisfactory —or, rather, of the least unsatisfactory—character their existence is still one of remarkable indigence, of unceasing toil, and continues throughout most lamentably precarious. To search for domestic comforts in the cabin of an Irish peasant would be about as rational an em ployment as to hunt after emeralds in an ordinary dunghill. Many of our English peasantry are un questionably and unfortunately subjected to almost comparable grievances ; the agricultural labourers of Dorsetshire for example, are a miserable and con spicuous evidence of this fact. But throughout every individual county of England we could, nevertheles,, instances, of a quite contrary description :_laeasants hilt', contented, industrious, living in on wholesom e prov i sions, flileilant cottages, feeding aurrounded by thriving families. Throughout the vviplk bngth andjleadtli of Ireland it would b e dif , - sgt .1 5 ficult to adduce half-a-dozen examples of a similar character. In the aggregate the peasantry of that island are immeasurably inferior in point of domestic comfort to the peasantry of any other coun ry of equal dimensions. Travellers have attested this ; Lord DEVON'S Commission has avouched it with the most solemn and oppressive distinctness. The fact requires no demonstration ; it is admitted by persons enter taining every variety of political and ecclesiastical opinion. The wretchedness of the Irish peasantry is so universally acknowledged that it is employed now- a-days as the illustration of the most direful speci mens of individual destitution. Knowing, therefore, the habitual and prevalent poverty of these unhappy beings, we can entertain some adequate conception of the utter and grinding want of which such a visitation as that of the destruction of the potato crop must be productive. We must recognise that not merely must the labourer himself be deprived of the little food, which had previously nourished himself and those dependent upon him for their subsistence—but that he necessarily loses the employment which had originally brought him a few shillings per week, namely, the digging of the potato-fields, the caKing of their produce, and other incidental labours. Be -ides being thus denied his annual stock of vegetables and his weekly pittance, the pig, ordinarily fattened for the payment of his rent, becomes tJo costly an appurtenance to his household ; and th.! Irishman thus plunged into immediate difficultic:s, with a pros. pect of a still more irreparable embarrassment. Such calculations of the miseries at present rife is Ireland are corroborated by every successive packet. The famished labourers are congregating together upon the hills in a state of !And closely bordering on desperation. The different boards of guardians are giving evidence, by an unwonted alacrity in their movements, that something of a preventative character must be done, and that immediately, or otherwise the patience of the sufferers will be altogether vanquished by the pangs of hunger, and disturbances increase the miseries of the various districts. Petitions are already flocking in upon Lord BESBOROUGH, implor ing his Lordship to avail himself of the prerogative' and powers committed to his discretion in behalf of the afflicted multitude. At Killarney a large meeting was convened under the direction of the Earl of KEN MAR E, at which meeting a considerable number of local magistrates and gentlemen were present. So urgent did the necessities of the population of the adjacent barony of Magonihy appear, that those individuals were hurriedly assembled together for the purpose of inquiring what measures of alleviation were most advisable. Not the least emphatic evidence of the wide extension of the potato murrain and of the ab solute necessity thereby entailed upon the Legisla ture of an active endeavour to supply the deficiency, is that simple, but significant resolution, passed in a meeting of gentlemen and ratepayers in the town of Kells, county of Meath. Here it is, and surely it requires no comment or elaboration : " Resolved—That the Act 10th Victoria. chap. 107. having contPrnplated only an apprehended failure of t, portion of the potato crop of the pretent season in In land,' does not afford an adequate or suitable renied3 for the loss of the whole crop." Such are the opinions of the more intelligent and affluent inhabitants of Ireland with respect to the exigencies of the present emergency. The next dan €►er to be apprehended is that the starving peasants should themselves he impressed with a similar con viction. Greater calamities would inevitably result therefrom. The Irish sufferers would immediatel\ regard the Government and local authorities as equally apathetic, and insubordination would be the imme diate consequence. This, we maintain, must be seriously apprehended, unless some strenuous exer tions be made by the landlords. Often as we have repeated this before, we shall never tire of insisting upon those exigencies upon the acknowledgment of which the happiness and the lives of so many thou sands are dependent. Two remarkable occurrences have already demon strated that the Irish labourers are being trifled with over-much, and that their meekness and forbearance, under their existing accumulation of sorrows, areyield ing at last to the dictates of famine and indignation. On Friday afternoon, according to the Cork Reporter, several agricultural workmen entered their office as a d.-putation from Ballyfeared, with an advertisement declaring that the miseries experienced in the baron 3 of Kinnalea were so direful, and that the sufferers were so entirely overlooked by those upon whom their preservation from death devolved, that unless provisions were contributed within a stipulated period, " forcible means would be had recourse to to procure it !" The other circumstances occurred at the demonstration of about three hundred starving labourers, held on Wednesday last, immediately before the castle cf Eyrecourt, near Ballinasloe. The manner of these three hundred peasants is wonder fully striking. They are starving, and yet they are passive : they remonstrate with their landlord upon their forlorn and destitute condition, and they tell him that, notwithstanding their anxiety to pre serve all reasonable order and sobriety, they cannot and will not perish while they are surrounded by plenty, and that it is madness to expect them to act otherwi , e. These illustrations of the want of employ ment and provisions in Ireland cannot be toe incessantly or too forcibly pressed upon public atten tion. The devastation has been rapid and general— its correction should in like manner be rapid and general. The antidote should be as powerful as the poison, or the pernicious effects of the latter cannot be counteracted. The Duke of BEAUFORT is determined N obtain a share of that disgrace which has of late ached to some other members of his order. He \n pears desirous of emulating their Graces of NEIL CASTLE and BUCKINGHAM, the Marquis of EXETER,' and other Noble Lords, who during the last session of Parliament afforded the strongest evidence of the violation of the constitutional doctrine, that Peers should not interfere in the elections of the repre sentatives of the people. On Monday we re-published an article from the Gloucester Journal, which states that notices to quit have been served on several of his Grace's tenants, who (although as yet they have committed no offence) may possibly have the manli ness to think for themselves, and not submit to be dictated to by the Duke, or his underlings, and to be driven to the hustings like a flock of unreasoning animals, to record their votes in favour of any nominee, whom it may please their landlord to honour with his approbation. The lash is to be kept suspended over them ready to fall if they should pre sume to act according to the dictates of honour and conscience. The freedom and purity of election is to be exemplified in Monmouthshire, family ties are to be disregarded, fraternal affection set at naught, all the bonds of relationship to be severed and dis united at the fell dictates of party spirit and party vengeance. The present case is even worse than any of those of a similar character by which it was pre ceded. If the Duke of NEWCASTLE sacrificed a son, the heir apparent to his title and possessions, and arrayed himself in open hostility against the inhe ritor of his honours, he might at least plead that at that time the great, the important measures of free trade had not received the legislative sanc tion, that his act, objectionable as it was in every respect, might yet be productive of some benefit to the cause which he was at all hazards prepared to support. It was not that he loved his son less, but that he loved protection more. Such a plea, however, cannot be set up on behalf of the Duke of BEAUFORT. The cause of pro tection has departed. It is happily numbered amongst the things that have been. There is no longer a hope for the re-enactment of corn-laws to tax a nation's food for the supposed benefit of a class. The most sanguine monopolist can hardly hope for a re newal of the objectionable impost. The expulsion of Lord GRAN VILLE SOMERSET from the representation of Monmouthshire therefore can only be regarded as an act of cold-blooded vengeance, a punishment to be inflicted, because his Lordship, a man of sense and experience, a Cabinet Minister, entrusted with an important position in the Government of the country, and deeply responsible to the nation at large for the manner in which he should dischar.ge the duties committed to his hands, yielded a, reluctant consent to measures which he felt w(ire imperatively demanded by the intelligence of the people, and any continued opposition to which must. be utterly use less and impracticable, and becar .se he aided and assisted his sagacious and disinterizsted leader i n pass ing through the Legislature `„he necess ary enact ments. It is hardly surpray4,s-- once he had determined on such a course, should hesitate about the means for carrying his wishes into execution. The man who could presume to dictate to a brother far more experienced than himself in political affairs—who could hope to exaet from'_ such a man a blind obedience t o his lordly will and plea sure, would hardly be disposed to respect the opinions and the desires of his tenantry. Manliness of cha• ratter has ever been considered the characteristic of English yeomen, tend any attempt to coerce by unfair means th 4 honest expression of opinion, to reduce to a state of villeinage and serfdom an in dependent tenantry will, most undoubtedly, provoke the opposition it is intended to suppress. We can scarcely suppose that his Grace would venture to carry into effect the threats he has uttered, that the notkes to quit which it is stated have been already servee, in anticipation of, and preparation for, the gemral election which must shortly take place, will ever be acted on. We must emphatically warn his grace, as we have repeatedly warned the Irish land lords, " that property has its duties as well as its rights ;" and that any attempt to exceed the fair and legitimate exercise of those rights, is sure to he visited with a full and ample measure of retributive justice. The walls of the Senate House have rung with the indignant eloquence of those who have re probated and exposed the vile system of clear ing estates, no matter what might be the ex citing cause. The public press throughout the nation has, with scarcely an exception, advocated the cause of the expelled tenantry, and has directed the public opinion of the country to a just feeling of in dignation against their heartless oppressors. The entire landlord and tenant code, which appeared to have been tramed with a sole view to the benefit of the first named class, has in the sister country been subjected - o revision, and close attention to its details and valu able and extensive alterations and reforms have been suggested for the purpose of annulling the objection able parts, and at last placing the occupiers and culti vators of the soil in the enjoyment of their just rights and privileges. The Ulster tenant right has become known to the nation at large, the popular voice has demanded its extension throughout he remainder of Ireland, and there is little doubt but that if British landlords abuse their power and nrivileges, that they will, in lake manner, he subjected to control, and that they will be deprived of rights the exercise of which can no longer be safely entrusted to them. We should be sorry that any indiscreet or intemperate tonduct should demand a change in the social rela tions between landlord and tenant in England. We ire satisfied that the cultivation of kindly feelings, ,f mutual regard and confidence is of the utmost value to both parties. The landlord who treats his tenantry well, who comforts and assists them, and discharges properly the duties of his situation, will deservedly attain great influence. Many of the occu piers will from love yield that which they would never give from a baser motive; but there is a limit which must not be passed, a boundary line which must not be crossed. We sincerely hope that such a t-espass =ay not be attempted ; but, should it un fortunately be the case, it will be the duty of honest journalists to denounce the transgressors, to submit their conduct to the ordeal of public opinion, and, if necessary, to call upon the nation, by the peaceful but irresistible force of argument and reason, to demand the abolition of the objectionable and abused powers. Accounts from Rome state that the POPE is devot ing his attention to the settlement of the diplomatic relations of the Court of Rome with the Ottoman Porte, with a view to promote the trade of Italy with al , . Levant. Count ESCALON, the Roman Uonsul at Marseilles, has been ord..red to proceed to Constanti nople on this mission. France will afford him every t' , eility to bring his negotiation to a successful termi nation. The inhabitants of Ancona have presented to Nlonsignore Rossi, the delegate of the province, an address, which had been voted by acclamation, demanding—first, the permission to erect a monument to Pius IX. ; second, a convocation of new provincial councils, which would efficiently represent the wishes and wants of the provinces, and endowed with the power of proposing the necessary measures for the welfare of the people. The news of this popular de monstration soon spread through the different lega tions, and caused a great sensation. It would appear that the valley of the Appenthal is not to be added to France, notwithstanding the dleged agreement for its sale by the Canton of Vaud. In the sitting of the Swiss Diet at Zurich, on the 10th September, the President declared that the re port current among the public that Appenthal was to he added to France, was void of foundation. The valley is one league and a half in length, and one league in breadth, with two or three hundred inhabi tants, and is of great importance in a military point of view. The deputy of the Canton de Vaud stated that the inhabitants considered themselves as Swiss, and proved by documents that the valley formed part of the confederation. He said that the conduct of France was not very honourable, and demanded that the matter should be laid before the Vorort, as it was important for it to be made public that the confedera tion did not intend renouncing any of its rights. The proposition was unanimously adopted. The following proclamation, dated Sans Souci, Sept. 4, has been issued by the King of PRUSSIA on the subject of the late disturbances at Cologne :—" I have learnt with much sorrow, by the reports of the authorities, and through the address of the Burgo master and of the Municipal Council of Cologne, of the 14th instant, that a considerable number of the inhabitants not only opposed the measures taken by he police for the tranquillity of the town, and offered , esistance to the troops called out to enforce order, hut that they also assailed them with stones. Be ,istance to the authorities is everywhere a sprious offence, especially in a town which may justly be called one of the ramparts of Germany. The interference of the troops is therefore wrongfully termed insignificant in the address. I am eof opinion that, on the contrary, the riot ought to have been put down by force of arms, and that it is greatly to be regretted that one man was killed, and others dangerously wounded, as stated in the reports. My troops showed a general coolness and praiseworthy moderation, so much so, that I ex pressed my satisfaction to them on their conduct, through the Commander-in-Chief. If, as it is stated in the address, without however being proved, peaceful citizens were ill-treated by the soldiers in parts of the town distant from the scene of tumult, or if they have committed any other excesses, the offenders shall be punished according to the rigour of martial law. I acknowledge the services of the citizens in endea vouring to maintain order ; but I blame the more the organization of a civic guard, without the express sanction of the authorities, as it might be thought that the civil and military authorities, after having resorted to force, entrusted the mainte nance of order to the citizens, whilst it is my express desire to avoid even the appearance of such weakness. If the municipal authorities complain of not having been informed of the measures taken for the evening of the 4th, principally of an imposing military force (as it is stated) on the market-place, I declare that after what took place on the evening before that the appearance on duty of those two hundred men was not an extraordinary measure, and that it was excus able, as on the one side it was a precaution against further excesses; and on the other side, that the burgomaster was informed of the fact. Neverthe less, according to the wish expressed, I have ordered that, in future, when extraordinary measures are deemed requisite, time permitting , the municipal authorities shall be informed, so as in their turn to inform the citizens, and to demand their concurrence. I have reason to hope that the good sense of the citi zens and of the authorities will prevent the occur rence of such events in future." The attention of the Diet at Frankfort is almost exclusively occupied by the consideration of the affairs of the Duchies of Schleswig and Holstein. Madrid papers of the 9th have been received. The Comereio states that Mr. BULWER has ad dressed a second note to Senor ISTURITZ of a very energetic character, on the subject of the .MoNTFEN MEE alliance. The Heraldo admits the fact of a se cond note having been sent, but declares that it was but a repetition of the former note, " pointing out anew the grave complications to which the projected union might give rise." The Spanish Government THE SUN, Lui4DON, THURSDA MORNING, SEPTEMBER 17, 1846. is evidently ill at ease on the subject of this alliance, and hence the eagerness of the Herald() to catch at straws fur the purpose of inducing a belief that the English Government is in agreement with that of France on the subject of the marriage. `► On the 30th of August," says the "Arced°, " the news of this projected alliance was received at Paris by a tele graphic dispatch. The dispatch sent off by King Louis Puieurres Government to his Ambassador at Ma drid, ratifying the treaty of alliance, was forwarded from Paris on the 4th of September. Five days have therefore elapsed between the two communications, which is sufficient time for the exchanging of notes between the Er glish and French Cabinets." " Hence," concludes the Remick," the KING having ratified the proposed union, the logical consequence to be drawn is, that the two greatest Cabinets of Europe are not divided upon this affair." A conclusion jumped at rather than drawn —not warranted by the premises, and pros ing that M. le Comte BItESSON, from whose inspiration the Herald.° speaks, is by no means so sanguine on the subject of the success of this his pet intrigue, as he would fain make the world believe he is. There were rumours in Madrid of a Carlist rising in Catalonia, rumours which the lierdclo seems at particular pains to discredit, although the warning contained in the French Government paper, L' 'Epoque, of the same day, would seem to confirm their truth. "We warn the Spanish Carlists," says L' Epoque, speaking evidently as the official organ of M. GuizoT, " we warn the Spanish Carlists that we are fully aware of their having held sundry meetings in Paris in the last week, and of CABRERA. having been questioned, consulted, and excited." MADRID BOLQA. Surr. 9.—The Three per Cents. were quoted at 351 cash ; Four per Cents. 22i; Five per Cents. 22,t cash ; Coupons 21 cash; Debt without interest, 6i. We have received the French papers of Monday. The Constitutionnel prints the following paragraph in large tyue : " It is affirmed that the Duke de Montpens="de parture for Madrid has been postponed, after the meet ing. of a Cabinet Council." This report would seem to be corroborated by the circumstance that the Ministerial prints all cautiously abstain from fixing any day for the Duke's departure and by the fact that the Marquis DEscAzFs arrived on Saturday in Paris from Madrid, bringing with him dispatches for the Minister of Foreign Affairs. The Cpposition journals still continue to denounce the MONTPENSIER marriage as one which, however advantiq,:ous it, may be to the family of ORLEANS personally, cannot but be disadvantageous to French national interests. " Whom," asks the National, "can the Government expect to delude by represent ing this marriage advantageous to our country ? Let the dynasty exult upon it, but let a single instance he cited of France having derived benefit from all her unions of Princes ? If, indeed, the people of Spain had shown satisfaction at what was preparing, if it had seen in it a testimony of respect for its independence, a pledge for a sincere and durable alliance between two nations working in concert to secure the triumph of those great principles of liberty and equality which are now sown on all those lands on which the plough share of revolution has traced the furrows ! But if we except the officials of Madrid, all parties are protesting, all the citizens are irritated, and, instead of drawing closer to us, Spain is sTara'ing herself from us, and, turning her eyes towards England ; she considers this marriage to be an act of violence, as the precursor of new troubles, new civil wars ; the citizens protest publicly against it, they address petitions to the QUEEN, in which France is reviled; they see approach ing, as the sponsor of these fatal names, the bloody sabre of NARVAEZ ; and, even here, the Court journal declares that this union will have the effect of con solidating at Madrid the detestable regime which was introduced ttere by fraud and force'." The Courrier Francais has the following, on the consequences that must ari-e from the reactionary policy pursued by the present Government of Spain, of which this marriage is a principal in.licati The state of Spain is becoming more and moi plicated—a terrible explosion cannot fail to take place. We have not laid before the public the letters which we have re , eiv.4l from Spain during the last few days. For this we had two reasons—the first of which is, that they contained predictions so ala , ming that we felt it to be our duty t wait till they H ere confirmed by events; the second reason is, that they contained naturally many contradictions on the great question of the moment. We would spick of the disposition of England since the hand of the Infanta Maria Luisa Ferdinanda granted to the Duke de Mo:itpensier. These c,)ntradic tions, however, do not b. ar upon simple details. What is cAlain is, the resentment of Englsnd, and the perils which this resentment must infallibly bring upon Spain. All the world knows the tenor and bearing of the representations addressed by Mr. Bulwcr to M. Isturitz. The English Ministers had not then rec. , ived any positive instructions from his Government. But a matter was in question on which he could make energetic protestations with out fear of c.,m promising himself, and Mr. Buls er did not hesitate to make them formally. Nevertheless, the mar riage of the Duke de Montpensier and the Infanta will tie accomplished. The Madrid Gazate announced it officially, and yesterday morning this new triumph was trumpted in the columns of the Debuts. Of little importance is the implacable discontent of the Prngressist party----of little importance is the insurmountable repugnance it has created in the Puritan fraction, the mil v Constitutional fraction of the Moderate party—of lir '• importance are tt.e threatening alarms of public opinion, an explosion of which has never been more menacing, even on the eve of the most for midable pronunciamientos. The reaction is infatuat , d with its triumph; it is struck with that blindness which caused the ruin in 1834 Of the partisans of the Estatuto real and, in 1840, of Queen Christina herself. Unhappy Spain is the only country, perhaps, in the world in which a retrograde Government. knows not how to open its ears to the legitimate complaints of public opinion. Let, therefore, the Cabinet of Madrid persist to the la't in its reactionary projects. It will have to sustain an oven conflict with an immense majority of the Spanish nation. What use is there in reminding it, when it will neither see nor listen to anything, of the disastrous consequences which have at all times fallen upon Governments which have been misled into such contentions?" The French Government appears to be by no means easy on the subject of Algeria. The Journal des Debats, which would, of course, rather under state than overstate disagreeable news from Africa, says— " From the different accounts which have reached France, it results that Abd-el-Kader is at present en gaged in re-establishing his Deira, that is, his small army, from the Morocco tribes of the mountains of the Rif, but does not seem to be likely at an early day to attempt a new invasion of Algeria. The frontier is well guarded at all points, and the troops of the division of Oran are ready to move in any direction at a moment's a, 'Hee. The forts of Ghazaouat, Maghrnia, Sebdon, and Dais, which are on the line, are provisioned suffi cient to supply such columns as may have to advance beyond it. General Darbouville, commandant ad interim of the province of Oran, is keeping a constant look out. General Cavaignac, who commands the sub-division of Tlemcen, has a strong force on foot extending from Maghrnia to Sebdon; and Colonel Pourailly, recently made Mijor General, is posted at Gl , arttouat with six battalions of infantry and five squadron of horse. In Morocco it appears that the ascendancy which the Emir is evidently gaining over some of the tribes causes great uneasiness in the Cotirt of Fez, and has induced it to take measures to oppose him. The part to be taken by the French generals on the frontier must necessarily be that of a vigilant and armed observation, until the in trigues of Abd-el-Kader are absolutely defeated, and the new operations in Morocco rendered abortive. Lieutenant-Colonel COMM' DE COGNORD, one of the French prisoners detained at the Deira of ADD.. EL-KADER, has written the following letter to his father-in-law, dated August 15 : " I take advantage of the departure of an Arab courier, the hearer of a letter to Lelia- Maghrnia, respect ing an interchange of prisoners, which I w'is requested to address to General Cavaignac, to inform you that. lam still in the land of the living. The Etnir is quite willing that an exchange of prisoners should take place, but does not wish it to be at Tan giers, or through the medium of the Moors. The letter which I send to the General is to request him to inform the Marshal that Abd-el Nader refuses to accept the mediation of the Consul at Tangiers, who was the per son designated for the exchange; but that he is ready to consent if the Marshal will entrust the affair to one el his generals, and that the exchange take place near Lalla-Maghrnia. Thus, if the Marshal consents, our unhappy condition may soon be changed. If he does not consent, as we fare worse every day, we may re nounce all hope of seeing our country again. Colonel Gagnon has spoken continually to me of the sympathy felt for us in France and in the army. All that is very honourable; but how comes it that with all those sym pathies our Government has not the humanity to release us from this horrible position in which it has left us for eleven months, when all that i 3 demanded in exchange for our freedom, is the freedom of fifteen or eighteen prisoners, some of them women and children; surely this is not known in France. As yet we have sup- ported our unhappy fate with resignation, but it has now become insupportable, and we only hold out in the hope that the Government or the Marshal will soon put an end to our sufferings. Our wounds are all healed, but we all suffer more or less from the effects of our sad fate." The steamer Dante, which the French Government have presented. to the Bey of Turns, sailed from Tonlon the 10th, foe Tunis.

A second edition of the Morning Herald contains the latest information upon this interesting subject. The intelligence will be found in an ,thcr column of The Sun. It is said, and truly, in a neat pamphlet before ui. entitled, " Consuls Abroad," (to the contents of which future reference may be made), that " the wealth, pros perity, power, and even standing of the British empire. depend on the continuance of a full and efficient pro tection of its trade in foreign ports. Not being depend ent, as formerly, on trade for the support of their con sular stations, the majority of British Consuls are not only free from any prejudicial collision of interests with the merchants, but stand upon much more elevated ground with the authorities, in advocating the rights of Ler Majesty's subjeAs, and seeking redress for what soever injuries they may sustain. Much of the recent and genera augmentation of our foreign commerce must be attributed to the greater degrea of indep.ndoic. , and resp.-etability given in later years to the clue meter and condition of her M :jesty's Consuls. There are no persons who better understand, or know how to appreciate, the importance and advantage of Consuls being placed in a respectable situation, than the Britith merchants abroad, whose interests, in fact. are closely connected with the mainten -once of an efficient and independent bearing on their part, the majority of whom are, as they ought to be, men of talent, education, and respectability, commanding the respect of the func tionaries of the towns where they reside, and doing honour to the national character which they are dele gated to represent." The price of Consuls for the Account has remained at 96, and at 954 for Money. Exchequer-bills are lower, viz., at Bs. premium. India Stock is at 260, and India Bends .it 20s. premium, for these under 1,0001. In the F , ,reign Stock markets there has been a good deal doing in the Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., at from 97f to 984.

PROTEST OF THE DUKE or OLDENBURGII—The Augsburgh Gazette gives the following as the protest itiatie by the Grand Duke of Oldenburgh against the letter,' patent of the King of Denmark:—•' By the letters patent addressed from Copenhagen on the Bth of July, 1846, by his Ntiji,sty King Christian VIII, of Denmark, the Grand Duke of Oldeliburgh has seen in what sense it had pleased his Majesty to declare himself towards his subjects relative to the eventualities of the succession. As it has not reached the knowledge of his Royal High ness that his Majesty had thought proper to come to an understanding on this subject, before the publication of the letters patent, with the different chiefs of the special lines belonging to the house of Oldenburgh; that at least be has taken no steps whatsoever on this subject with the Grand Duke of Oldenburgh, who in virtue of existing treaties represents in Germany the chief of the line of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorp. the Grand Duke - ot Oldenburgh cannot recognise in that declaration, pub lished without his participation, but a notice and a per sonal interpretation of his Majesty; but at the same time his Royal Highness considers it his duty, in his quality as head of his house, to protest solemnly, in the history of its eventful rights, against all the conse quences which may be drawn from that declaration to the prejudice of txis rights and those 4414.5 4914. r." t ofl - Ig -- .1 31) it AO Ed lA, , A.O ES.
