SECOND EDITION. ntng2lllt -.... acquiescence in the Cracovian seizure, tend to increase the popular execration with which the whole pro ceeding is regarded. It is at this moment that all the lovers of liberty and constitutional government must most especially mourn the recent misunderstanding and existing dis trust which have destroyed the cordial friendship previously existing between England and France. We deplore this estrangement between ourselves and our neighbours across the Channel, and we deplore it the more because it has originated in the covetous• ness of a single man. But for the detestable guile and the profligate contempt for international good faith evinced throughout the negotiations and cele bration of the Spanish marriages, England and France would have been in a position to enter together, and immediately upon the initiative, in obtaining repara tion from the Northern Triumvirate, for so monstrous an infringement of all the most sacred laws of humanity. But for the Montpensier alliance, but for the consequent infraction of the treaty of Utrecht, but for the contumelious treatment of Lord PAL MERSTON'S protest, England and France would have been free to co-operate in wresting Cracow from its imperial robbers, either by diplomacy or otherwise, and free, moreover, to vindicate at once and for ever their insulted dignity and their deluded confidence. In our observations of yesterday we showed the false position in which France is situated at this im portant juncture. The falsity of that position be comes more conspicuous the more recent occurrences are considered. Not only is France incapable of pro testing with any explicitness, or, indeed, with any consistency, against the violation of the Vienna treaty, because she herself has shamefully violated the treaty of Utrecht, not merely is she prevented from demanding with any emphasis a decisive arid satisfactory response to her protests, because of her own double dealing and her disingenuous replies to Mr. BULWER and Lord NORMANDY, but yet later ob stacles have arisen, and obstacles which appear to be impassible under the existing Administration. The dallying of the Guizot Ministry with the Courts of Vienna and Petersburgh offers a somewhat intri cate obstruction. The proposals which have been latterly made within the precincts of the Tuileries for the re-fortification and renovation of the dismantled battlements of Huninguen promise to inter • pose a yet more serious preventative. We are loth to believe that either of these allegations is correct to the letter. We cannot but believe that the enlightened statesman and historian who now presides over the Ministerial affairs of France was too fully convinced of the disparities of the Russian and Gallic constitutions, to dream for a moment of any permanent entente cordiale in that quarter ; he must have seen that the Governments were in their very nature antagonistic ; and he must have perceived, moreover, that in the proposition for the re-garrisoning and re-fortifying Iluninguen, he would be cutting away the only spot for a safe footing that remained. Nevertheless, both reports are sufficiently authenti cated to juatify us in granting them a certain amount of credit. M. GUIZOT has thereby deprived himself of his weapons of assault, and more than that, he has cast aside his panoply of protec tive rectitude ; he has squandered his poli tical bucklers and staked his Ministerial brand upon a losing hazard. France cannot now re monstrate with Austria, and say, " You have violated the trust repcsed in your Government; you have acted counter to the stipulations of 1815 ; you have shamefully availed yourself of certain local advantages, by which you have insulted other nations, broken a most memorable treaty, and deprived an innocent race of their independence and nationality !" France cannot say this, because it will be the mere utterance of her own condemna tion ; it will be a mere transposition of words which would equally well apply to her own political crimi nality. France cannot say this—at least under the present Administration. GUIZOT must retire from office, or he must recalcitrate ; otherwise France is incapacitated from any honest, or even graceful participation in the protest which must be forwarded by Great Britain to Vienna, St. Petersburgh, and Berlin. hope the Government will be found ready and willing to favour a reduction in the obnoxious duties on tea, and that it will be a considerable one in the first instance, because, the more extensive the reduction, the sooner will the Exchequer recover the loss, by the general demand for, and unlimited supply of, the article. In 1784 Mr. PITT reduced the tea duty 12i per cent., and in a short time the consumption rose from 5,000,0001b5. to 21,000,0001b5. There are other collateral, but most obvious and important points, which ought to fortify the Chancellor "of the Exchequer against any undue apprehension with respect to the revenue. These are well embodied in the following extract from Mr. J. B. MOOIIE% speech : " Supposing there was a reduction in the tea duties c f from 2s. 2d. to is., that would be a loss to the revenue of 2,000,0001. ; but, in considering this question, they must include all its ramifications, and estimate the effects which would be produced upon other articles, the revenue to be derived from which must be added to the lessened revenue on the first article.—(Hear, hear.) One pound of tea required five pounds of sugar ; if they con sumed, as they might expect, 20,000,0001b5. of tea, they would further consume 25,000 tons of sugar ; and that alone would bring to the Chancellor of the Exchequer an immense additional revenue.—(Hear, hear.) Then there was another calculation which must be made conjointly, viz., the preventive which a reduction of the duty would be of the frauds and illegalities which had long been connected with the sale of tea in this country, induced by the maintenance of the high duties." The statesman should be anxious, upon moral grounds, to encourage, by every means in his power, the consumption of tea. Intemperance among the industrial classes, arising from the use of ardent and noxious liquors, would be materially lessened were tea reduced to a price compatible with their means ; crime would be deprived of a powerful stimulant, and domestic habits engendered and cherished. In a commercial and manufac turing view, the desired reduction would be invaluable. The territory of China is immense, and a wiser step could not be taken by this country, now that we have recently widenel the channels of commercial intercourse with China, than that of establishing a liberal tariff with respect to a commo dity, in exchange for which our manufactures would be taken with readiness, and to an extent which it would be difficult to calculate. Two magnificent advantages would at once result from any honourable negotiations for the renewal of the friendship between England and France ; two magnificent advantages—and those are the establish ment of a really cordial understanding between those countries, and the enabling their Governments to preserve the balance of European power, and to main tain the integrity of treaties by that Most desirable combination. When the Reform B:11 was agitating the country from one end to the other, great as its special merits were declared to be by the advocates of the measure, yet it was chiefly from the conviction that its suc cess would be the certain forerunner of other salutary reforms, highly beneficial to the people, that the na tion readily devoted its energies to the consummation of the great charter of the nineteenth century. No sooner had the representative principle been placed upon an improved footing in the House of Commons, than the municipal institutions of the em pire were in the like manner remodelled and invi gorated. The intensity of the struggle that was made to retain the glaring abuses which prevailed throughout the various corporate bodies of the king dom, notwithstanding the Reform Bill was then the law of the land, is one of the most remarkable proofs of the infatuated tenacity with which the disciples of monopoly will cling to any system, how ever inadequate it may be to answer the purposes for which it was originally designed. Nevertheless, all opposition was shown to be fruitless. In vain did ultra-Toryism plead in St. Stephen's for the retention of municipal oligarchy, in vain did a LYNDISURST harangue the Peers to resist the tide of reform, in vain did Sir CHARLES WETHERELL utter his philippics at the bar of the Upper House, and endeavour to demonstrate that it was against the spirit of the Constitution to break down the obnoxi ous charters of the corporations— the fiat, sanctioned by overwhelming majorities, had gone forth from the popular and reformed branch of the Legislature, the House of Lords wisely ahrank from the contest, and the people secured the privilege of managing their own local affairs. Towards the termina tion of the fierce contention which charac terised the entire campaign incidental to the repeal of the corn-laws, Mr. COBDEN observed that he valued Sir R. PEEL'S measure more for what it would lead to, than what it actually accomplished. Grateful as was the spectacle of the greatest strong hold of monopoly crumbling to ruins, over which the flag of free trade was then proudly waving, still the victory was mainly appreciated by Mr. COBDEN for the vast results, commercial, social, and domestic, to which he predicted it would inevitably lead. His foresight was almost immediately justified by the passing of the Sugar Duties Act, and we rejoice to observe that the question of the tea duties is already taken up by the mercantile community with a view to their considerable reduction. A great meeting was held upon this subject on Wednesday at Liverpool. The Mayor was in the chair, and a more influential assembly was never remembered in Liverpool. More appropriate and convincing speeches than were there delivered, especially those of Mr. WILLIAM BROWN and Mr. J. B. MooRE, in favour of the resolutions that were passed, cannot be read. It is grievous to think that in this country, where for years tea has been considered no longer a luxury, but a positive necessary, it should be subject to a duty of 2s. 2d. per lb., being nearly 200 per cent. on the average value. The old plea of the necessity of keeping up the re venue is in this case quite an idle one. The sta tistics upon all other articles of general consumption put beyond controversy, that where duties are ren • dered light, increased demand invariably fills up the temporary void in the revenue, and mostly has the effect of largely improving it. The history of the tea duties for the 179 years, during which we have always been subject to them, elucidate the same fact. The outline of the changes in the coffee duties from 1791 downwards establishes in a forcible manner this dictum of political economy— that whenever the duty was raised, consumption .lackened in proportion, whenever it was de creased, consumption augmented in a correspond ing ratio. Thus, by the one operation, the comforts of the people are greatly enhanced, and the revenue increased; by th e o th er , unnecessar y priva tion is entailed upon the most deserving classes, and the public finances remain almost unreeruited. We The Augsburg Gazette has the following from Vienna, dated the 15th :—" A few days ago the principal bankers of this city waited upon the Mini ster of Finance, for the purpose of stating to him that the public funds and the shares of companies were continually falling, in consequence of a fear that the suppression of the independence of Cracow might lead to a war in Europe. The Minister replied to them calmly, that the taking possession of Cracow, so fax from disturbing the peace of Europe, would, on the contrary, consolidate public tranquillity. Since this conference, which has greatly contributed to calm the agitation, the Minister has made consi derable advances, and one bank has received a mil lion of florins, to aid in raising the quotations at the Bourse." A letter from Posen, of th 13th instant, says — "During the last week several persons have been arrested upon charges of having been accomplices in the late revolutionary proceedings ; among them are three students of the Catholic schools. We learn from Poland that all the colleges are to be trans formed into special schools, and consequently there will be no snore deep study of Greek and Latin." The Cracow Gazette of the 17th publishes a long account of the formal taking possession of Cracow by Austria on the preceding day. A salute of 21 guns was fired, there was a service at the cathedral, and all possible demonstrations were made by the Austrian authorities. The public buildings were il luminated, but the feeling shown by the people was that of deep melancholy. A letter from Rome, Of the 12th, states that a grand dinner in honour of the possesso of Pope Pius IX. took place the day before in the Theatre Aliberti. About a thousand guests, including a number of persons who had been amnestied, were present. Se veral speeches were delivered and pieces of poetry de claimed, and loud acclamations in honour of the POPE were heard. After the dinner there was a ball, which lasted until twelve o'clock. The whole of the com pany then went through the streets of Rome, pre ceded by a band of music. The only disorder that took place was the breaking of some windows at the Borghesi Palace, because the servants did not illumi nate quickly enough. Madrid papers of the 18th have arrived. According to the Tiempo, the agents of the Government have been interfering in the elections in the most scan dalous manner at Cordova and at Toledo. At the former place, where Senor PAcnEco is a candidate, the houses of the electors have been entered by the police, and the letters of Senor PACHECO have been seized, while the Political Chief has openly menaced persons supporting Senor PACHECO with the vengeance of the Government in case of their voting for him The Tiempo states it can prove this accusation by producing the letters. A similar unjustifiable at tempt at interfering with the freedom of election had been made by the Government functionaries at Toledo. It was rumoured in Madrid that there was a split in the Cabinet. This report, however, is contra= dieted in the Heraldo. MADRID Boma, Nov. 18.—The Bourse showed signs of improvement.

The Journal des Debats of that day quotes, at length, the article which appeared in the Constitu tionnel of the day preceding, and thus comments on it : " The Constitutionnel published yesterday a very re markable article, the most important passages of which we reproduce. In this question the principles laid down by the Constitutionnel have been ours for sixteen years, as they are undoubtedly those of M. Guizot and the French Government. We have more especially main tained them during the last six years. with a constancy unshak en by either the sarcasms or the insults of the . Opposition. We knew full well, as the Constitutionnel justly says, that the English alliance had its inconve niences ; but what alliance is there that has nothing but advantages attending it ? It is impossible fur two na tions, not ve, ardent, and justly proud of their genius and power, to meet on every point without having sometimes question. of interest to discuss and differ upon. It is for the whit] om of their Governments, their spirit of equity, ti nd their right feeling, to prevent these diffi culties ;from becoming envenomed so far as to divert the two countries from the great object which en joins th on to be friends. At the sane time these in conveni owes must not be exaggerated. They may always bi kept within bounds, if evil passions are not brought into play, and employed in the way of aggrava tion. latere are prejudices in Fiance against England, as well as there are in England against France. These are obstacles which ail wise men whu are the true friends of the pox ce and civilisation of the world ought to labour to remove . We hare never been wanting in this task when a thoughtless and rash Opposition in this country has endea .voured to awaken these mischievous preju dices an a to excite the anger of France, whether on the right of vi sit, the pretended attack upon the indepen dence of: --our flag, under treaties which had existed for ten ye ars without any remonstrance against them, whether on the subject of Texas, or the miserable affair of Pritc hard. England in her turn,. ona recent ecca sion, far lei ed she had a caus e of quarrel in the Spanish marriag es. We have not tried to increase her irritation; we have ,contented ourselves with appealing to her good sense ar Ld reason, and with waiting until she had more calmly cc.nsidered an affair which in reality gave no unabrage, -to her greatness, and in which France had to promote secular interests. Th e world can judge whether :the Opposition has or has not assumed this pacific :ha ratter. Be this as it may, since the head of the Opt ,osi,tion seems to be disposed to return to better sentime eta —since, laying aside its personal reminiscences of 1840,,, it proclaims the superior advantages of the English all iance, we shall not take the puerile amuse ment of re'ouking it for the past, but prefer accepting its concurr enc e for the future. We have said a hundred times w hat the Constitutionnel said yesterday, but have never sr dd it in better terms." LONDON, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1846. If earnestness and unanimity of wrath at the lat appropriation of Cracow can redress the wrongs of that miniature republic, there is a certainty of its speedy extrication from the thraldom of Austria. Throughout England and France the sympathy for the deceived Poles is at this moment intense. All the diversities of political opinion are for a while merged into one cordial community and coincidence of feeling upon this occurrence. Taking the Pa risian press as the stethescope of the political senti ments of that country, it is impossible not to yield to the conviction that the hearts of Frenchmen, as well as those of Englishmen, beat with an irrepres sible indignation at the insolence and perfidy of the Northern Powers. The naked fact of the an nexation was of itself sufficient to enkindle these generous passions. The bare circumstance of the violation of the solemn engagements entered into at Vienna between eight contracting Governments, afforded ample cause for this formidable excitement. But the'peculiar features of aggravation with which the seizure of the independent town and the infraction of the Vienna treaty were associated have tended consider ably to enhance the resentment of the Western empires. The cruelty of three such gigantic powers as Russia, Prussia, and Austria violating the faith of nations, and abusing their own sacred office of protectorship, merely for the purpose of enlarging their dominions by the annexation of a little territory twenty-one square miles in extent, and for the pur pose ofsubjecting to their arbitrary sway a population of 146,000 unotinding citizens and peasantry—the audacity of th e manner in which this injustice was consummated, without any reference to the five States, who were equally of the compact 01'51 h rested in the mainte nancet ti , grant selfishness of the Austrian Kaiser and his imperial and royal ac complices—themonstrousahuffligvEt e pleas advanced in the ordinance of IFEB.DINAND E tr ; ansa every thin g, parties io hn n has in short, connected with this atrocious " double-dyed" the guiltiness of the cated. Of aggravating circumstances there P a re assuredly enow. And the latest rumours, that Hotzen plotz is to be ceded to Prussia, and that the northern segment of the Gallician circle of Tarnopol is to be yielded _to Russia, in consideration of their This ce.rtainly looks like an attempt on the part of the French Minister of Foreign Affairs to renew the Thiers-Guizot coalition of 1839, and it is not imp robable that such is his present desire, in order to :secure to himself a party and a position when la s retirement from the Ministry shall become : necessary, an event, which, according to the go ssip of the political salons of Paris, may be expo cti ;d to take place every day. It is said that on Alomda y their were great dissensions in the Cabinet Council, • that M. GuizoT recommended that an ener getic prol test should be presented to the Northern Courts, m id that France should at once assume an imposing attitude. This was opposed by M. Du cuATEr. a: - id some other members of the Cabinet, who recur amended acquiescence in the spoliation committed by the Northern Powers, and were opposed even to the presentation of a pro test. Tl; is mode of proceeding met also, it THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDA Y EVEN IN G, NOVEMBER 26, 6,4 is said, with the approval of the KING, who fears that any demonstration on the part of France might lead to a general war. At this Council also the reply of Lord PALMERSTON to M. G UIZOT'S note, presented by Count DE JARNAC to the English Go vernment, was read, in which Lord PALMERSTON declares at once, and in the most unmistakeable terms, that there can be no simultaneous action between France and England in regard to the affairs of Cracow. This is the answer that every one who for a moment had reflected on the subject must have expected. The answer to any protestation in which France. took part would necessarily be, " You who have just violated the treaty of Utrecht can have no right to complain of our violation of the treaty of Vienna." Such an answer, however, could not be returned to the protest of England, for she has protested equally against the violation of either treaty. M. GUIZOT, however, ap pears to have been surprised at Lord PALMERSTON'S answer, and many of his colleagues expressed their dissatisfaction at his having made such an overture to Lord PALMERSTON without having first ascertained the manner in which it was likely to be received. Having failed both in his attempts to conciliate the Northern Powers and in his endeavours to reconcile himself with England, it is said that the KING has determined that the time has arrived when the retire ment of M. GUIZOT is become necessary ; that Count MoLE will be entrusted with the construction of a new Cabinet, of Ns, hich M. BILLAULT, General CUBIERES, and M. BLANC will be members ; and that Count ST. AULAIRE will be dispatched to London, to endeavour, if possible, to bring about a renewal of the English alliance—a task which King LEOPOLD had previously declined to undertake, as he considered the attempt premature. If these rumours have any foun dation in truth, the article which we have quoted above from the Debats would lead to the conclusion that M. GUIZOT would be nothing loth to again join his forces to those of M. TRIERS, in opposition to a Mole Ministry, and should he bring with him any considerable number of followers from the Conservative camp, M. MOLE will hold his power by a very pre carious tenure. of the day before, recommending the English alliance, the Fresse waxes very indignant, and protests against the ultra-English sentiments of M. THIERS. The manifesto of Au3tria and the proclamation of General CASTIGLIONE are thus commented on in the Journal des Debats " We publish two documents, which cannot be read without painful indignation. We had previously said what ought to be thought of the motives alleged to cover a usurpation so manifest. The brutal language of force would, in truth, provoke less painful reflections. We shall, however, return to these strange documents." The Epoque, which is more peculiarly the personal organ of M. GUIZOT, thus concludes its refutations Cl the arguments put forth in the Austrian manifesto : The Sicswie, however, takes a more common-sense view of the matter, and says— " All the rc ilections of the Constitutionnel are full of justice, and we aeccde with all our hearts to the conclu sion, provided the British alliance be not imposed upon us as a fatal necessity, provided we be not made to pay too dear a price for it, provided, in fine, that it shall pro pose a great and noble object, which, as we have said a hundred times, can alone cement it. The King of the BELGIANS will visit Paris at the end of the week in consequence, it is said, of having been again invited to use his best endeavours to bring about a reconciliation of the differences between France and England. . " It cannot, we think, be necessary for us to carry our examination further ; to remark, for example, upon the cruel irony of giving as a motive for the suppression of Cracow, that it had not spontaneously delivered up to the Austrian police the refugees by whom it was sud denly invaded and treated as a conquest, to demand whether there is not a more cruel derision in quali fying, as a violation of the treaties of 1815, on the part of this republic, according to the expression of Field-Marshal Castiglione, the impossibility of Cra cow to resist the proceedings of these Polish emigrants. The question, as we view it, is not circumscribed within the boundaries of an argumentation more or less specious, more or less bold. It is not a question of expediency for the three Northern Powers. It is a question of the rights of Europe ; and in this light only can we considsr it. We therefore declare that—' Every treaty binds all who have signed it, both in its letter and in its spirit, and no one of them can, without breaking his sworn faith, depart from any one or more of tl.e clauses which he has promised to observe, until he has obtained the consent of all who signed it with him.' Nevertheless, we perfectly admit that no treaty can be taken as excluding for ever ail possibility of revision and modification. We maintain, however, that it cannot be revised or modified without the concurrence of all who have sworn to its execution." The latter part of the above article, relating to the binding nature of treaties, is the most complete justi fication of the course pursued by England on the Spanish marriage question that could be offered. It would seem almost as if, in dictating this article, M. GuizoT had been quoting, unconsciously, from one of Lord PALMERSTON'S notes.

We have received a letter from Lisbon from a corre spondent whose notes upon Portuguese affairs, we have on several occasions lately, presented to our readers, dated Lisbon, N0v.19, 6 P.m. The intelligence it contains is not of a decisive nature, but is generally confirmatory of the news we have previously published from the same quarter. We have no further particulars of the alleged defeat and capture of Saldanha's advanced guard. The writer, in a postscript, says, " The Government have received an express that the Conde Das Antas had this day in the morning attacked the posts of ,Saldanha"— without, however, giving any result, which had doubt less not transpired. Saldanha had previously sent an urgent request to the Government to send him 2,000 men, with horses and mules, of which he was much in want ; the National Battalion had, however, refused to march. General Selestino and his forces entered Santarem on the 16th ; and General Baron de Almargen, with his forces, from Oporto, had also arrived there with a large sum of money. The British merchants had sent a strong me morial to the Government at home, against the Decree of the 14th of November, by the Polyphemus steamer. An influential deputation of Portuguese merchants had also waited upon the Minister to induce him to modify the decree, to prevent the evils it was likely to inflict upon trade and public credit ; but the Minister declined to comply with their request. A Decree, however, had since appaared, modifying the 21 article as regards all transactions before the 14th instant ; but this in no way satisfied the commercial body. ✓ " What must be first remarked in this long series of considerations, destined to justify the most crying abuse of force, is the complete omission of the names of France, England, and all the other contracting parties of the treaty of Vienna, except the three Absolutist Powers. There is no more mention made of France than if she never existed, or than if she had no interest in the rup ture or observation of the treaties made at her expense and against her. Nothing can equal the coolness with which the three Powers garble the text of the treaty of Vienna, so easy to be verified. They pretend that the conventions relative to Cracow were only repeated in the treaty of Vienna, signed by eight Powers, in order that the act should embrace the whole of the results of the negotiations ; and that this insignificant insertion in no way deprives the three Powers of the right to modify these conventions without the consent of the other parties who signed the treaty. It is said, on the con trary, in the most formal manner, in the treaty of Vienna, that the conventions relative to Cracow are therein inserted in order to be considered as an in tegral part of it, and of the same force and value as if they were textually inserted. It is impossible, there fore, to make an assertion more strikingly contrary to the truth. If the argument of right brought forward by the three Powers does not possess a shadow of foundation, what is to be said of the rest ? Austria and Russia complain of having been invaded by Cracow ! The hostile attitude of Cracow with respect to the three Powers places them under the necessity of protecting themselves against its aggressions! They could only save themselves by breaking their sworn faith and violating treaties ! The treaties undoubtedly declare that Cracow is to be considered in perpetuity as an independent city ; that the three Courts of Russia, Prussia, and Austria, formally undertake to respect, and cause to be respected at all times, the neutrality of Cracow, and not to intro duce into it any armed force, under any pretext whatever. But it was absolutely necessary to defend the existence of Prussia, Austria, and Russia, against the invading republic ! Besides, the Government of Cracow, se me nacing for its neighbours, had another effect—its extreme weakness towards the conspirators, whom it could nut keep within bounds. Thus a plot was devised in the Polish provinces ; Prussia, warned of it by the information that came from Paris, soon discovered the whole of the scheme, and imparted it to Austria. The three Powers, far from preventing anything, allowed the plot to ripen, favoured its outbreak, and, alter having stifled it in blood, now punish Cracow for not having been able to prevent what they themselves allowed to go on, for the purpose of having a pretext for confiscation. But this is attaching too much importance to a derisive document ; such ar guments as it contains are not refuted, they cannot have any other reply than the indignation of all the nations of Europe. We cannot say the same of the proclama tion addressed to the inhabitants of Cracow by the Em peror of Austria. The cruel executioners of Galicia assumed a honeyed tone, and still bloody from the mas sacres of Tarnow, they are filled with declarations full of gentleness. Speak of their mercy, grace, and good ness, when the fires lit up by their orders are still smoking—when the officers of Austria have scarcely finished pa3ing for the dead bodies of her slaughtered subjects l" The Presse, even the Russian Presse, admits that the act of the Northern Powers is quite unjustifiable, that an alliance with them is impossible, and it con cludes its article with a declaration that France will take advantage of this violation of the treaty by the Northern Powers. generallt f t s e wrs auynwr.

We ask for nothing better for our part than that there should be attributed to the act of Vienna this character, which deprives it of all political importance, in order to turn it into merely a simple repertory of special conventions concluded amongst these powers ; but it must be allowed that this is too brutal a contradiction given to the history of this treaty, and to the public right which it estab lishes. But no ; the liberty and independence of Cracow were not thus placed at the mercy of the three Powers whom Europe had charged to protect them. They wore the creation of Europe ; Europe had placed under its patronage their existence, and the conititution which had conseci ated them. The three Powers had pledged them selves to Europe to respect them fur ever. It was not for mere form that the articles of May 3 had been annexed to the general act, and declared integral parts of its enactments. Austria wa3 not more at liberty to seize on Cracow, without the consent of Sweden, Spain and England, than without that of Ituss i a ; for all these Powers had on the same title consecrated the liberty of Cracow. This liberty had become one of the conditions of the equilibrium of Europe. It has been violated ; the pact which established this equilibrium has been torn up ; everything has been again unsettled in Europe . ; France has been disengaged from the shackles and sacri fices which 1815 had imposed on her. Let the oppor tunity now present itself—the right has been restored to us. Such is the truth ; and there is in this truth matter to cause serious reflections to those Cabinets which have just taken the trouble to confiscate a little republic, which assuredly was not worth what it cost them one day." In commenting on the article in the Constitutionnel NI ONE Y and TAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool, yesterday, was very steady. Sales 5,000 bales, including 4,000 of American, at sd. to 6id. per lb. Shares were quiet. In some in stances prices ware maintained, but in others they were flatter. The decision of the Learned Chief Baron of the Court of Exchequer, in the case " Reynell v. Lewis," deter mined yesterday, hag formed the topic of almost uni versal conversation in City circles to-day, espbcially where parties tare connected with railway matters. With all due deference to the Learned Judges, who, from their " exclusive habits," and, without being mixed up in transactions of the nature referred to, the decision, it is thought, hardly comes up to the mark where boat fide claims exist. It is considered in most quarters that where a man consents to allow hi% name to be used he does so for gain, and it follows, as a matter of course, the name being announced and not denied as fact, the party ought to pay his share of loss, if any, and may be the whole of the expenses, if his fellow-commit teemen are dishonest enough to stave off claims made upon them. Some important advices have come to hand to-day from Lisbon, financially speaking. The bills of the Bank of Lisbon are to be taken at the current rate cf the day, and not at par, as was most imperiously and unjustly insisted upon formerly. This is the settling day in the Consol Market, and as far as present appearances go the arrangement is pro ceeding very satisfactorily ; in fact, throughout the whole of the account, the fluctuation has scarcely amounted to 11 per cent. Exchequer• bilis command from Bs. to 11s. premium ; Bank Stock is at 205 ; India Bonds are at 225. premium, and the New Three and-a-Quarter per Cents. are at 958. A very few bargains have been made in the Foreign Funds to-day. For the Five per Cent. Brazilian Stock 851 has been paid; for Russian 1111; for Spanish Three per Cents., 378 ; for the Dutch Two-and-a Half per Cents., 591 1; and for the Four per Cents., 911.

We have ourselves this morning seen a letter from Oporto, dated No vember 21, which states that Sada Bandeira had re turned to Oporto the night before, that his partisans were dropping in by half-dozens in a lamentable state, he having been completely defeated by the Baron of Cazal at Chaves. The regular troops who accompanied Sada Bandeira deserted in a body to Cazal before the action commenced, and the slaughter of the guerillas by the Queen's troops was immense. FLANDERS MAIL. CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 7.—A dreadful accident cc curred on Thursday morning at Zeiten Bournow, where the imperial manufactory is situated. The great chimney of the manufactory, which has been erecting for several months, and which was raised to the height of nearly 150 feet, all of a sudden, and while a great number of men were at work upon it, separated from its base, and fell down, carrying with it all the unfortunate workmen who were on the scaffoldings, and were crushed by the enormous weight of the ruins. The false and incorrect calculations of the engineer who erected this chimney, are the sole causes of this deplorable accident, which has crushed above ono hundred victims, fifty of whom have been taken up dead. BRUSSELS, Nov. 23.—The Chamber of Representa tives was engaged to-day on the discussion of the budget of the pulic debt, which was voted without any important debate by the 49 members present, without one dissenting voice. The depntatlon of the Chamber sent to present to the King the address in answer to his Majesty's speech, was received to-day at one o'clock, with the usual ceremony. After the address had been read by the President, his Majesty replied in the following terms : "I receive with lively satisfaction the address of the Chamber of Representatives. Love for the country, the dignity and moderation of the national character, are the best guarantee of the good use of our institutions, and of their duration. I thank you, gentlemen, for the senti ments of gratitude and attachment which you express towards me." YV BRUSSELS, NOV. 24.—The official part of the Moniteur of this date contains royal ordinances respecting the organisation of the several Ministerial departments. Ist, Cepartment of the Interior ; 2d, Department of Justice ; 3d, Department of Foreign Affairs ; 4th, Finance ; sth Public Works. These ordinances fill twenty pages of the Moniteur. The amount of the receipts of the Belgian Railroads during the course of this year, show that they gradually increased till the end of September, but in October they began to decrease in the same proportion as in former years. The receipts of the first nine months of the two years were as follows :-1845, 10,587,523 francs ; 1846, 11,560,855 francs ; excess in 1546, 973,352 francs. TUNSERUCK, Nov. 18.—The overland mail from India has twice teken the road through Tyrol ; viz., through Ampezzo Brurruck, and Millenwald, as the shortest route, and accomplished the distance from Trieste to this place in 24 hours and 40 minutes ; which, indeed, was possible only by sending a courier on before to an nounce its coming, and by great liberality to the pos tillions. _ .

No public ceremony was observed in its opening, Mr. Peter W. Barlow, the com pany's engineer, being the only official present. Th e Board of Trade certified its security some time since. BURNING T HE TWEED.—Poaching on the r i ver Tweed is being conducted on a great scale, and in a business-like manner, in this neighbourhood at present. One night last week upwards of fifty poachers, with " Leisters" and " Cruizier," made their appearance, and forthwith commenced the work of destruction. They carried it on unmolested, not a watcher daring to show his head, until they had secured a great number of fish. And on last Tuesday night another strong party set out, and likewise murdered all within their reach, amounting, we have heard, to upwards of forty fish. The parties make no secret of their intentions; they go out openly and avowed!y, and depend on their numbers, strength, and recklessness, to intimidate and overawe the watch ers, and consequently secure impunity to their conduct. Twe " brigades," of nearly sixty each, have been formed in this town, and are busily employed in preparing am munition and arms for the winter's campaign, so that unless strong measures be adopted to stop the ravagers, not a stream from Leaderfoot to Innerleithen will re main unmolested. A goodly number of weavers and other operatives are but partially employed ; and these, with recruits from among the railway labourers, form the materiel of the poaching " brigades." We saw one of the "shelilabs" intended to be used on the " baffles'" heads: it was a sapling about seven feet long, with a head of four inches diameter—a weapon certainly of rather appalling dimensions.—Kelso Chronicle. • REGARD FOR MILITARY HONOURS IN MANCHESTER. —Mr. S.
