Much has been written about the effete and effeminate so ciety of Mexico ; the people of those fruitful and enormous regions have been incessantly derided for their inactivity; it has even been whispered, that cowardice ranks among the most conspicuous of the national characteristics. All these aspersions have, without doubt, received some colouring of reality from the narrative of Mexican: history. There is an undeniable torpor in the disposition of the po pulation ; instead of a social advancement there has been for years a gradual but perceptible retro gression. Commercial activity was a thing unknown to the republic, notwithstanding its numerous and superb ports upon the Atlantic and Pacific, and not withstanding the periodical spasms of mercantile en terprise in the markets of Vera Cruz. Even when the frontiers were threatened by formidable arma ments in the United States, even when the force commanded by General TAYLOR had made alarming advances in the Rio Grande, even when California was seized and New Mexico subsequently wrested from the more southern Government, the Mexicans persisted in their phlegmatic taciturnity, the brand of patriotism still remained in its scabbard. Throughout all these reverses, however, and in spite of this un propitious continuance of sluggishness, we have en tertained a conviction that the Mexicans would ulti mately evince their devotion to the cause of national liberty. Our expectations were in some measure realised even in the discomfiture experienced by General AmruntA ; the battlements of Monterey witnessed the chivalrous daring of the Mexican citizens —that daring was eminently unsuccessful, it is true, but it was nevertheless evinced, and even acknow ledged by the extraordinary terms of the capitulation. Mexico, is however, at last becoming conscious of the grievous peril by which her Government and her children are encompassed. The dormant en thusiasm of the Mexicans is being elicited; their I love for fatherland is displaying itself in a manner the most vigorous and effective. A levy of thirty thou send men has been ordained by the Supreme Council of the capital, and the intelligence of that ordonation in Puebla has been welcomed with more than mere idle acclamations. The champion :of :his country—he ,vhom it has been hitherto the fashion to revile, but whose valour and disinterestedness have long claimed ,ur admiration—has been received in the city of Mexico with a joy befitting the appearance of one so illustrious by his former patriotism. tion will, it is anticipated, soon be actively employee at an adequate remuneration. The duties of relies committees have been ably defined in the circular of Lieutenant JIOTHAM, the inspecting officer of the works, to their several chairmen. B a vigilant adherence to these instructions invaluable aid will be afforded to the Government whilst carrying out the great work of charity which has devolved upon their hands. They are directed to ascertain that farmers are enabled to obtain labour for fair wages before the people are permitted to work at the instance of the Board of Public Works. Were this point not scrupulously attended to, the land would be indifferently tilled, and next year's produce would entail aggravated distress. All work is to be done by task, and sons and daughters, under fourteen years of age, will be permitted to assist their parents. The overseers, on the one hand, and the labourers, on the other, are to be strictly supervised, all cases of abuse to be authenticated and immediately submitted to the superior authorities. By these means the peo ple will speedily be rendered sensible of the policy, for their own sakes, of complying with fidelity to established regulations. We recognise another satisfactory index towards the alleviation of Irish sufferings in the decline oi prices in the grain markets. Indian corn and meal have undergone a reduction, the former to 403. per ton. The supplies anticipated from the Mediterranean and America will undoubtedly enhance these advan tages to the consumer. Barley and oats are also cheapened in price. The failure in the potato crop is now regarded as being much less than what it was conceived to be. These circumstances, taken in con junction with the vast area opened for employment by public and private enterprises, will rapidly abate the gloomy apprehension which recently struck terror into the mind. The Nation contains a letter to Mr. Durrr from Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN. It proves the merited weak ness of the Young Ireland party. It admits that they have no organization at present available, and therefore suggests that the Nation newspaper may be advantageously made an organ for giving utterance to their opinions. The production is altogether in significant enough. Two or three testy sentences towards the conclusion are decisive of the rupture being permanent between Mr. O'CONNELL and him self. The Liberator must hourly rejoice to think he is completely rid of so Quixotic an associate as the Honourable Member for Limerick. In the present melancholy state of Ireland the public attention is naturally directed towards the landowners and proprietors of the soil in that country. The future welfare of our sister kingdom, the prospect of successfully encountering, and eventually overcoming, the formidable difficulties that now oppress and surround her, depend in a great degree on the line of conduct that may be pursued by the members of that influential class; they are placed in the vanguard, and by them must be borne the brunt of the encounter. Should they act in a harsh or oppressive manner, sad indeed will be the fate of those whose destinies are placed in their hands ; and gloomy will be the prospect for the future, should the friendly solicitude, the paternal care, that the land lord owes to his tenantry, be exchanged for neglect and apathy, should he enforce a rigorous com pliance with the contracts into which his people, in more prosperous times, and with fairer prospects, had entered, sternly exact even unto the last shilling the amounts they had undertaken to pay, and refuse to participate in the losses with which the mysterious visitation of PROVIDENCE has afflicted the nation, it would be impossible to speculate on the extent of outrage and disturbance into which the distressed and suffering peasantry may be lead, and by which the peace and tranquillity of the island would be perilled and endangered. As a general body, we believe the Irish landlords are inclined to perform the weighty duties now im posed upon them. They possess the same warm hearts, the same ardent feelings, and liberal and generous sentiments so characteristic of their country men. Exceptions there are, but we firmly believe that it is the exception, and not the rule; and we should fearlessly abide the result were we satisfied that they possessed the ability as well as the will to discharge their onerous responsibilities with credit to themselves and benefit to the nation. This, however, unfortunately, is not the case : at least one- half the rental of the kingdom is absorbed in pro viding for the payment of the charges and encum brances affecting the landed proprietors. And they are called upon, with diminished means and impaired resources, to meet a season of difficulty and distress, and to provide for an emergency that would require all their energies. It is truly gratifying when we are enabled to state instances in which the gentry have well and efficiently performed their parts and fulfilled the public expectations of the present crisis. Many of them have nobly come forward—some of the land lords of Ulster have particularly distinguished them selves by a generous rivalry on behalf of their tenantry ; they have sought to provide work for the labouring population on their re spective estates, so that none of those having fair claims should be driven to seek, on public works, that employment which should be obtained on the lands to which they belonged, and they have made fair reductions and liberal abatements of the rents payable by the occupiers of small holdings, who are the chief sufferers by the failure of the potato crop, according to a graduated scale, so that each person is relieved according to the pressure of his necessities. The Earl of CALEDON has made abatements to his tenants holding under 35 acres of land, and paying the full valuation, varying from ten to fifty per cent., and, in addition, expresses his intention of finding re munerative employment, as he has Maw to done, for every man residing on his property who may be in a condition to require it. This is, indeed, a bright ex ample, and will, doubtless, draw closer the ties of mutual regard that must exist between such a land lord and his tenantry. Amongst the many who have acted with similar generosity, few have equalled, none have exceeded, Mr. ARMSTRONG, of Roxborough, in the county Armagh, who has recently published an address to his tenants in that county, containing the most judicious advice, and exhibiting the most paternal solicitude for their welfare—an address that deserves to be circulated throughout the length and breadth of the land. Mr. ARMSTRONG has long been favour ably known as a kind and improving landlord, who, considering example better than precept, has shown to his neighbours what improvements can be effected by zeal and industry; but by his conduct during the present affliction he has deservedly obtained the meed of public approbation, and earned for himself the title of a benefactor of his people—a model landlord. He commences his letter by a caution against a class by whom the most serious injury is done to the persons who have the misfortune to reside in the neighbourhood of one of those scourges of the country, the rustic usurers. Who is there that has perused the creation of CARLETON'S graphic pen —" Fardorougha, the Miser"—who has not been struck with the misery occasioned in a district by such a character ? We can assure our readers that the fiction scarcely equals the sad reality ; 60, 80, or 100 per cent. is a common addition to the fair price of oatmeal or other provisions sold on credit, or for money advanced for the payment of rent, or the pro curing of necessaries. The Irish are proverbially an improvident people, and too many fall into the snares held out to them, and become the victims of the heart less usurers. Mr. ARMSTRONG'S tenantry are happily exempted from the baneful influence of the class; indeed, it could not be supposed that those so fortu nate in a landlord would fall into the nets of such persons. Mr. ARMSTRONG expresses his de sire that the occupiers should keep the grain and other valuable produce of their holdings for the support of their families, and declares that he will accept the half-year's rent, due in May last in labour, at the rates usually paid in the country, shackled by no other conditions than that they shall give a fair day's labour for a fair day's wages, at such times as may be suitable to him, without neglecting the proper culture of their re spective holdings. He beseeches them not to part with their grain, but to practise all the economy in their power, more particularly as it is their duty and interest to prepare for the ensuing crop, as to the preparations for which he gives the most judicious advice. Previous to his entrance into the metropolis, SA.-NTA ANNA dispatched a letter, dated "Ayotla, one o'clock, A.M.," to the Mexican Minister of War. That document is consonant in its magnanimity with .he conception we have throughout formed of the dis position and character of this noble soldier. Its manliness is conspicuous, and its daring lemands our most emphatic commendation. after referring with exultation to the recurrence of the " anniversary of the glorious cry of DoLortEs," he speaks with enthusiasm of the country—the be loved of his heart—and with reverence of the autho rity which has resigned the destinies of that great ountry to his guidance, that authority being, as he iimself explicitly declares, "the will of the sovereign people." We have repeatedly heard of the selfish ness of the policy of SANTA ANNA; what could be a nobler vindication than the following?— " Your Excellency will at once perceive how great an error I should commit in assuming the supreme.mazis traey, when my duty calls me to the field to fight against the enemies of the republic. I should disgrace myself if, when called to the post of danger, I .hould spring to that of power! Neither my Flaky jor my honour requires the abandonment of interests so fear to me. The single motive of my heart is to offer my compatriots the sacrifice of that blood which yet runs in my veins. I wish them to know that I conse crate myself entirely to their service as a soldier ought r, o do, and am only desirous further, to be permitted to point out the course by which Mexico may attain the rank to which her destinies call her." Well does he subsequently remark that, in marching igainst the enemy and declining to accept of power, le is giving a distinguished proof of the sincerity of his sentiments. He declares, that notwithstanding 'he ominous advances made by " a perfidious and faring enemy," and in opposition to the vigour of " a treacherous faction," he is prepared to assume the supreme military command in this dangerous and critical juncture. SANTA ANNA is fighting for no bauble; he is ambitious of neither a garland of straw berry leaves, nor a marble mausoleum in a minster. lie goes forth to battle for the freedom of his native :and ; and, instead of availing himself of the good opinion of his fellow-citizens and of the confusion of political affairs, for the purpose of investing himself with the chief authority, he unsheaths his sword and seeks glory where it could alone be found by a Mexican general, namely, in the van of the defending army. " I will die fighting," says this brave pa. triot ; " I will die fighting, or lead the valiant Mexi cans to the enjoyment of a triumph to which they are alike entitled by justice, by their warlike charac ter, and by the dignity and enthusiasm which they have preserved of a free nation." He will only tarry for a moment in the metropolis, to embrace his friends, to press them hastily to his heart, and then, says he, " I will set out for the seat of war, to lend my aid to serve my country, or to perish among its ruins." With an aroused nation even the picked warriors of the United States will find it somewhat difficult to cope, especially among the mountainous fastnesses cf Mexico, and especially with captain so unyielding and heroic as ANTONIO LOPEZ OE SANTA ANNA. The accounts from Ireland are of a mixed charac ' ter, but, kippily, the balance of the intelligence is in favour of that afflicted country. We have news of further and most disgraceful outbreaks in different . localities. For these we were not unprepared. Look ing to the unexpected and wide-spread nature of the . calamity by which Ireland has been overtaken—to the excitable character of her people—to their badly clothed, ill-fed, and ignorant condition—it would • have been nothing short of a miracle to have ex pected that when the impending storm burst over their heads, the law would have been everywhere re garded, and that occasional turbulence and disaffection would not have trenched upon the general tranquil lity. Our only hope was that the Government would be as active as possible in effectuating the humane po licy of the Legislature, hastily embodied in its re ' cent laudable, though imperfect, Labour-rate Act, and that at the same time the Executive would ob serve a firmness commensurate with its benevolence. Great complaints have been urged against the Board of Public Works, and, at one moment, Mr. O'CONNELL himself expressed his dissatisfaction at their apparent dilatoriness. By none but those who are practically acquainted with the labour and responsibility of those connected with this public department can any idea be formed of the obstacles against which they have to contend. Last year it was with the greatest difficulty the Executive in Ireland could obtain even half-a-dozen engineers to assist the Board of Works in effecting the contemplated arrangements for affording relief to the people threatened with the deprivation of their main article of subsistence. The staff which they now require to have at their command is of extraor dinary magnitude, yet the exertions which have been, and are still being made, to augment it, and the amount of business they have already got through with assistance far under the limits of what they require, will be found most creditable. Of this fact Mr. O'CONNELL was made aware during his recent interview with the Lord- Lieutenant, and his public announcement of the error into which he had suffered his mind in this respect to lapse, will, we are sure, not be without a salutary result. Day and night, Sundays and week-days, are the officials unremitting in the discharge of their onerous duties. We noticed last Thursday Earl BES BOROUGH'S proclamation, by which the works in Upper Tulla, county Clare, were suspended in conse ,, quence of the heartless and riotous interference which the Government officers had met with. This insane hosti lity bas ceased, and public employment has been resumed with marked success. At N enagh, in the vicinity of Portroe, where some engineers were engaged laying out new works, a few evil-disposed persons hindered the operations ; the magistrates promptly convicted them in 101. penalty, or three months' imprisonment, and a seasonable check has been given to this wanton breach of order. Throughout Tipperary the popula- However much the Americans may feel disposed to congratulate themselves upon their warlike achieve ments in the territories of Mexico, they will unques tionably disc6ver that an independent and republican nation cannot be dismembered so readily as they have appeared to imagine. They will dispover that the very vastness of the spoil of their preceding victories will prove an almost insurmountable encumbrance to the prosecution of their enterprise, and that the na tionality of even the most sluggish population may be enkindled by the repetition of flagrant aggressions. As we conjectured, the Government at Washington has expressed considerable dissatisfaction at the leniency of the stipulations entered into with Am rxrnia WI - a the conquered soldiery of Monterey themselves regarded as indicative of the pusillani mity of their vanquishers, the Cabinet of the United States considers to be an unnecessary leniency. Nor are the advantages derived from the latest triumph of General TAYLOR of such a cha racter as to be compensative of so many magnificent concessions. Even, according to the opinion of the American journalists, the army under the Corn ander-in-Chief will be compelled either to proceed further into the country, and realise yet more brilliant successes, or to starve at Monterey. Every additional achievement on the part of the • invading forces neces sitates some immediate an d superior adva n t age . Th e s e greater the annexations consequ ent upon A mer i can prowess, the mor e i mm i nent the peril of the:American legionaries. If the victories are splendid , the are sanguinary; if cities and p rov i nces are taken, con- querors are surrounded with so many the more em- I harassments. Meanwhile the Mexicans themselves are road into Ile shows how inadequate to the small holder the allowance of even half his rent is to re compense his loss—that the potatoes, the growth of one Irish acre, equal to nearly one and three quarters JCL M. a U IN, L4UIN IN 12 A Y .E; V 11; "NJ lIN (i, INUVEIVIBEIt 9, 1 English statute measure, would subsist a family ,f six persons for :.;73 days, while the allowance of 3/. bestowed in liea of its loss would, at the pre ,ent price of oatmeal, only provide an equal number with tha: latter description of food for thirty days. This illustration will exhibit the true extent of the loss that has been sustained, perhaps, as tOrcibly as any other that could be devised. To any >f his tenants who wish to pay their rents now he offers the following abatements, viz., all farms under five statute acres, 50 per cent., under 10, 40per cent., under 15, 25 per cent., under 25, 15 per cent., and under 35, 10 per cent. This will be admitted by all to be a most generous and liberal reduction. Mr. ARMSTRONG states that his ground now produces three or four times as much as when he first under took the management, sixteen years ago. He recol lects hearing of a person who resolved to expend the entire profits of his business in advertisements, but found that he was unable to do so, the profits in creasing with the amount so expended. This would appear to be the case with the money expended •ill improvements on land. It fully illustrates w hat we have long urged of the ample returns that would he afforded for capital laid out, not merely on the reclaiming of waste land, but also for bringing that ilready in cultivation into improved heart and con iition. Mr. ARMSTRONG fully concedes the "Tenant Right," which he fully explains ; he lays down the principle that "every estate should afford employ ment to every able-bodied man belonging to it who is willing to work," and argues on the injustice of taxing an improving landlord for the support of the poor of a negligent proprietor, and he justifies the Government and the Board of Works against the reproaches that have been heaped upon them most undeservedly. We commend Mr. ARMSTRONG'S address to the attentive consideration of every landowner throughout the kingdom. If he sits down to it in a proper spirit, he will rise from its perusal a wiser and a better man, acquainted with the true extent of his duties and the manner in which they should be discharged ; and most earnestly we exhort him "to go and do like wise." Should it be extensively followed, we shall fear nothing for the future state of Ireland, its peace or prosperity ; and believe that the nation will find a happy issue out of all it s afflictions. Madrid papers of the 2d have arrived. Mr. BULWER, in compliance with instructions from his Government, had addressed a note to Senor ISTUBJTZ on the subject of the report of an intended armed intervention by Spain in the affairs of Portugal, to which Senor IsTuRITz replied, that under no pre text whatever would the Spanish troops be permitted to cross the frontier. The only thing demanded by the Portuguese Government was, that Spanish troops should be placed on the frontiers to prevent bodies of armed insurgents from entering Spain, as they are in the habit of doing when pressed by the QUEEN'S troops, in order that they may re-enter the country at some point where there is less danger. The Spanish Government have given orders to the generals com manding the troops on the Portuguese frontiers to disarm such insurgents, and to send them into the interior. to b the general junta of the kingdom, has appointed a provisional Ministry. M. Passes, as cherged with the Foreign Affairs, has sent a circular letter to all the fox eign consuls and agents at Oporto, assuring them that the property and commercial interests of their ia spec tive fellow-countrymen shall re main inviolate. The position of the junta is critical. It has to contend with bands of Miguelites who overrun the surrounding country, and repress the exaltation of the people, who no longer yield to any restraint, and above all make head against the combined forces of Generals Vinhacs and Cazal, who, with all the troops collected from Minho and Tras-os-Montes, are moving by forced marches upon Oporto. The town is without defence. The old lines of fortification raised by the Emperor Don Pedro are almost entirely destroyed. The people have set about repairing them, but they will not have time to render them effective. Consequently the inhabitants are entrenching themselves in their houses and behind barricades. Money is wanting, trade is annihilated, and the principal capitalists refuse to assist the Junta. They are rather disposed to favour the operations of General Vinhacs and Cazal. The exasperation of the population is very high, and it is feared that on the approach of the Queen's troops excesses will be committed. The Duke de Terceira is still shut up in the fort of St. John de Fez, and it is feared that his life is not safe. His valet has been murdered by the populace, and his own life is . daily threatened. The English Consul has written to the Junta demanding in the most pressing and energetic terms its protection for the Duke de Terceira. Never theless, in the midst of all these difficulties, the insurrec tion has succeeded in a coup de main against the Miguelite bands. A column made a sortie from Oporto in the direc tion of Penafiel, where a Junta had established itself in the name of Don Miguel, and, having dispersed the Miguelite bands, took possession of the town and reinstated the former authorities. It is said that in these engagements seven peasants were killed. The bands were commanded by priests—for it is the priests who are at the head of the Miguelite party. On the 26th, when the mail came away, the English squadron had not arrived in the Tagus, but was hourly expected. It is said that a Spanish squa dron is to cruise off the coast of Portugal. The Go vernment in publishing in the official journal the ac counts of the Miguelite movements adds the following note :—' The entrance of the English squadron into the Tagus is expected shortly, and at this hour the troops of the neighbouring nation are on our frontiers. As faith ful allies they will fulfil the obligations of treaties, from the moment unequivocal manifestations are made of anti-dynastic attempts.' This note has produced a lively sensation in Lisbon, although it is generally believed that, come what may, no intervention will take place. The report of the approaching arrival of Count de Tho mar (Costa Cabral) adds greatly to all these complica tions. The Government has sent out the strictestorders for preventing his landing either at Elvas or the Bar of Lisbon. The partisans of this ex-minister, who are nu merous, particularly in the army, are using every means for securing his return to power." The same journal, in giving a summary of the 2C counts of the state of Ireland, expresses its admiration of the energy displayed by the British Government in its endeavours to ameliorate the condition of the people. It would appear from the Commerce that the hauteur and the intrigues of Count BRESSON have given great offence at the Court of Madrid, and that his recal has been requested, which request has placed M. GUIZOT in an embarrassing position. "We have before us," says the Commerce, " a letter from Ma drid, addressed to a friend of the Ministry, and the contents of which have probably been communicated to the Chef du Cabinet of M. GuizoT. According to the writer of this letter, the conduct of M. BaEssoN at the Court of Aranjuez is of a nature to compromise the entente cordiale of fresh date between the Cabinet of the Tuileries and M. ISTUItITZ. Intoxicated with his recent diplomatic successes and the results of his intrigues, Count BaEssoN is said to have assumed such consequence, that some high personages have taken offence, and his recal is become necessary. But M. BRESSON has already plainly informed our Mi ' nistry, that if he quits Madrid it shall only be to go to London. The embarrassment of M. GUIZOT may therefore be conceived. According to the Courrier Francais, Marshal SOULT had tendered his resignation as President of the Council, but had consented to withdraw it, on the representation of the KING that his resignation would complicate the situation of the Ministry. The Constitutionnel has the following on the Mada gascar question : " On the arrival of the Armide frigate, which has just come into Brest, a rumour was spread abroad that the English at the Mauritius, and the French at Bourbon, were preparing, for the end of July, an expedition against Madagascar. It was said that England was collecting at the Mauritius a squadron composed of a 50-gun frigate, a 94-gun ship, the Blonde, of 28 guns ; the Cleopatra, of 44 guns; and the Thunder bolt steamer. In addition, troops, it was said, were expected from Bombay. As to France, her preparations consisted, it was affirmed, in the Belle Pottle frigate, the Berceau corvette, the Voltigeur brig, the Archircesic steamer, and two trading vessels freighted as t:ansports. Halt' a battery of artillery and 1,500 men were, it was said, embarked on board these vessels, and the object of the expedition was to seize on Tamatava, and to fortify themselves there. We cannot say what is the object of the coming together of the English vessels at the Mauritius. We think we can affirm, however, that several of those mentioned have for a length of time formed part of the English station on the eastern coast of Africa for the repression of the slave trade. It would be difficult to explain the presence of troops from Bombay at the Mauritius, but no one asserts that they have arrived, or even that they have been seen on their way. As yet the coming of these troops to the Mauritius is only a simple conjecture. An expedition of the English to Madagascar would much astonish us, particularly if it was to go further than a simple demon stration destined to support negotiations with the !lovas. The policy of England on the eastern coast of Africa is quite opposed to the designs attributed to her on Mada gascar. She has always avoided creating embarrassments for herself by entering on quarrels with the uncivilised or half-civilised states existing on the coast, or in the neigh bouring isles. We could mention more than one instance where she replied to abuse, nay to depredation, by send ing presents, and concluding treaties of peace with the chiefs of this country. In tine, she pointed out in a very clear manner what policy she reckoned on following, when shun cognised Radatna as King of Al adagasear. The situatio❑ and the designs of France are quite different, and they are perfectly demonstrated by the assemblage of force now at Bourbon. Her intuition is not to at tempt the impossible conquest of Madsgascascar, at the moment when she has Algeria on hand ; she wants to establish hereclf strongly in the islands where the French flag has been lately raised, namely, Mayotte and Nossi-tai These islands may be easily colonised and defended. In case of war they would offer to our vessels a refuge, and the means of repairing any injuries they may meet with. Our policy is to fortify ourselvss there, and to develop all the resources which they may offer as ports for putting in and victualling. We believe that that the stores and men just landed at Bourbon are des- On the 21th ult. COSTA CABRAL and GONZALES BRAVO arrived at Cadiz. COSTA CABRAL found there !etters from his friends, advising him not to come to Lisbon, if he had any regard for his life. lie deter mined, however, to accompany GONZALES BRAVO, who is about to resume his functions as Spanish Ambassador at Lisbon, and they embarked together on board the Spanish steamer Isabella H. for Lisbon. Orders have been givers for the arrest of COSTA CABRAL as soon as he arrives. The Gaceta of the Ist Nov. contains the royal decree dissolving the Cortes and convoking the new one for the 25th Dec. There were rumours of dissensions in the Cabinet, and it was confidently reported that Senor AloN would be compelled to retire. A considerable fall took place in the price of the Funds on the 27th, in consequence of the various ru mours which were circulated, but which appear to have been false, with the exception of the dissensions in the Cabinet, and the expected change of Ministry. We have received the Paris papers of Friday and and Saturday. The presentation, by the Marquis of NORMANDY, of Lord PALMERSTON'S reply to M. GUIZOT'S note has revived the controversy on the subject of the Mont pcnsier marriage, and those Siamese twins of the Paris press, the Presse and the Epoque, again all but order the Sovereign and people of England to dismiss Lord PALMERSTON, on pain of incurring the high displea sure of the Court of the KING of the FRENCH. These gentlemen forget that England is not Spain— that England is not yet in so low a condition as to be obliged to permit the French Court to dictate to her as to her choice of Ministers, and that it is not her custom to punish as a crime the efforts of her servants to uphold her dignity and to maintain her rights. According to the Constitution:2el, Lord PAL MERSTON, in his reply to M. GUIZOT'S vindication of the Montpensier marriage, denies the validity of any one of the French Minister's arguments. "The conclusion," says this journal, "is always that the Duke and Duchess DE MONTPENSIER must renounce the throne o of Spain, in their own name and those o f th e i r de cendants. Our Cabinet is, we believe, m os t anx i ous that the Queen of SPAIN should speedily g i ve bi rt h to an heir, who, by his presence, would a t once pu t a period to the embarrassing glory we h ave acqu i re d and to the question that has arisen oh th e su bj ect be tween France and England." On Saturday a grand reception took pl ace a t th e Palace of the Tuileries, in honour of the first ap pearance En g. Embassy)Paris (with a pearance. in public of the Duke a n d D uc h ess of lish MONTPENSIER, at which the Foreign and all the other members of the corps NORMANDY the d i‘ z i . p a l r o q m u a is tip o ze f tthhweree gentl emen e present.excep tin attachedof Ambassadors, t o h Th e a b sence of the English n Ambassador d was much co mmente d on, but it it could scarcely have been expected that the Am bassador of that Power which had protested against the marriage could have joined in offering congratu lations to the Duke and Duchess of MONTPENSIEI2. The Royal Family proceed to Compeigne immediately. The Journal des Daats publishes news from Lisbon to the 26th. This is not so late by three days as the intelligence published in The Sun of Thursday, but as it is more circumstantial it may not be uninteresting to our readers : " We received yesterday accounts from Lisbon to the 26th ult. The conflict had commenced at several points without any imp or t ant resu lt e ith er f or the Saldanha Mi nistry or for the insurrection. Count das Antes had formally broken with the Government and become corn mender-in-chief of the insurgent troops. The arrival of General Sada Bandeira at Coimbra is considered to be a favourable event for the insurrection. In fact, Sada Bandeira is greatly popul ar i n t h e country. After an interview with the Count das Antes, the two chiefs de cided on marching to Lisbon. Coimbra is more than 40 leagues from Lisbon, but there is no strong fortress nor any body of troops on the road capable of impeding the march of the insurgents. It is not yet known to what extent the presence of Count Sada Bandeira will influence the spirit of this army, which does not yet appear to have been entirely gained over to the . cause of the in surrect i on. It appears, even on leaving Oporto, symptoms of revolt were manifested among the soldiers, who having heard of the appointment of the King to be generalissimo, declared that they would not fight against their Sovereign. Count das Antes went him self to the troops, and found gre at difficulty in repress ing their manifestations The King and Marshal Saldanha have great confidence in the issue of the struggle, and I th b in m k ev t e h r a , t th w e h y en wi t l h l e no tw t two armies any r c mies are brought in presence of each oth er t h e soldiers of the insurrect i on will leave their rank s , an d return under the Q ueen ' s co l ours . battle except under the walls of the cap i ta l , where they will wait the insurgents. Li,bon is tranquil. Th e people seem t o su bmit without . resistance to all th e requ i s i tions an d ot h er mea sures of the Government. The soldiers and volunteers parade the streets, and commit all sorts of violence upon the in habitants, from which neither the young nor the aged and infirm are exempt. Even foreigners are not free from these ve xa ti ons, f or several have b een arbitrarily arrested and confined. The King directs all the prep , a , ations in person f or th e defence of the capital and toe organization of the army. On the 25th and 26th he reviewed several c or p s o f volunteers an d twe l v e batteries of artillery. lie has also addressed a proclamation to the troops, recommending union and harmony amongst them, in obedience to their Queen and the charter of Don Pedro. At the same time he has made an appeal to such soldiers as ma k e common ca use with the insui rection, urging them to return to their duty. General Schwalback, commandant of the Lisbon division, has received orders to go into the province of the Alen t?jo, and take command o f t h e di v i s i on which is beseig ing Evora. The inhabitants of that town have hung out the red flag, and app ear to b e d e t e rmined to make a vigorous resistance to the Queen's troops. They are expecting reinforcement s f rom th e Algarves, which have declared against the G overnmen t. Oporto is in a state of complete anarchy. Th e junta,w)lich asaume§ atself tined for Mayotte and gossi-bil, and not for Tamatava. All persons acquainted with the climate of Madagascar know that the idea of establishing troops at Tamatava would be a wild project. That would not lead to the submission of Banavalo, and the lives of nine-tenths of the soldiers obliged to pass there a fow nights on that mortal coast, would be uselessly sacrificed. It is only in the interior of the country that Europeans have some chance of escaping from the always deadly fevers on the coast. But to lead troops into the interior would be to undertake the conquest of the whole country, and that is not the matter in question." The Moniteur inserts a royal ordinance, placing at the disposal of the Minister of Foreign Affairs an extraordinary credit of 320,000 f. for unforeseen ex• penditures. The KING, by an ordinance of the 29th ult., had conferred the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour on Count DUCHATEL, Minister of the Interior. The — dignity of a Knight of the same order has been conferred on PARAITA, an Otaheitan, as a reward for having acknowledged the French Protectorate. The returns of the corn trade of France show that the importation of wheat during the month of Sep tember last amounted to 191,379 metrical quintals ; other grain, 24,762 ; flour, 6,816.

Fi if MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool, on Saturday, were 6,000 bales, including 2,000 American on speculation, and 500 for exportation. The market was steady, at previous rates. American sold at 4d. to 64d. per lb. Shares were again in favcur. This being Lcrd Mayor's-day business of a general character is almost entirely suspended. The more re cently admitted, or we may say juvenile members of the Stcck and Share Markets, are absent from their usual places of business, to take the opportunity of a sight at the show. We have not received any private accounts by the New York packet, just come in. A few letters have, however, been delivered, which are of, a more satisfactory tenor as to the state of trade and commerce, although an advance had occurred in the quotations of flour, which it is very unlikely will be supported As serving to bear out our repeated statements of the folly, if not criminality, of exciting alarm upon the score of apprehended scarcity of food, we take the following from the market report of the Commercial Daily List " We have the p!easure of repeating that the markets have been again literally crammed, and that the factors and salesmen have had great difficulty in forcing sales of all sorts of provisions —corn, meat, fish, fowl, and evf n potatoes—although they were desirous of doing so st receding prices. Speculators admit that corn must go down for the next three months, but say it will be dear in the spring; our opinion is, the large supplies will keep down prices." Whether as regards grain, meat, poultry, fish, or vege tables, there is every reason to hope that cheapness and plenty will soon again be the rule, not the exception, and that the artificial rise will be suppressed in Coto. The Funds are dull again to-day, and the appearance of the market is rather ugainst a resumption of Bull operations. Still a day may, in this respect, affect a change, and this is almost a holiday.
