-- - THE REPUBLIC OF CRACOW. THE ROYAL ORDINANCE. BERLIN, Nov. 19.—The followiag ordinances have been published at Cracow : " We, Ferdinand of Este, by the grace of God Em peror of Austria, King of Hungary and Bohemia, Sac. " After the peace of Vienna, of the 14th of October, 1809, had detached from our empire the city of Cracow and its territory, and had added it to the Grand Duchy of Warsaw, but which, in consequence of the events of the war of 1312, the Russian tro o p s had reconquer with e, our father, the late Emperor F rancis L, colicluded the Allied Courts of Russia and Prssia treaty, dated the 21st of April and 3d of May , to th e follow ing effect : " Cracow, with its territory, shall form, for the future, a free and independendeut city, under the protection of the Three Powers. Nevertheless, the express condition and the necessary supposition of that arrangement, will be the strict neutrality of that free town, and the duty i m p o sed upon it not to give an asylum to any refugee who is a subject of the three protecting Powers, but, on the contrary, to deliver them to the competent authori ties. Nevertheless, an unhappy experience of sixteen years has pr?ved that Cracow has not fulfilled the con ditions ofits independent existence, hut that since the year 1830 it has been the incessant cradle of hostile intr guns against the three protecting Powers. To such anexte t has this gone, that at the end of the month of February of the same year it became the theatre of scenes more violent and more dangerous than ever. After the Government and the constitution had been destroyed, and that the fate of the town was abandoned to a certain number of conspirators, who had taken the title of the Revolutionary Government of Poland, and excited the inhabitants of all the ancient Polish provinces to an armed revolt against the existing Government, an armed horde made an irruption from the territory of Cracow into the states. It was therefore necessary once naore to place Cracow under a Provisional Government under the military authorities, and to occupy it with the troops of the protecting Powers. These events having placed us in the impossibility of re-establishing the basis of the liberties and independence of Cracow, which had been broken by the enemies of the order, the repose, and the tranquillity of Europe ; and penetrated at the same time by the duty of plaeing our faithful subjects of Ga licia, and the peaceful inhabitants of the town of Cracow itself, in a position of safety from the attacks of the re volutionary party, we haze, in accordance with his Ma jesty the King of Prussia, and his Majesty the Emperor of Russia, submitted to a serious appreciation the future fate of Cracow. " With this view, deliberations have taken place with the special plenipotentiaries of the courts of Berlin and St. Petersburgh. The result of these deliberations has been a convention, concluded on the 6th of November of this iyear, at Vienna, by which the three protecting Powers of the city of Cracow revoke and suppress the treaties of the 3d May, 1815, and in consequence that town and its territory return under our sceptre, in the same manner that it belonged before the peace of Vienna, of 14th October, 1809, to our late father and to our an cestors. It is on this account that we take possession of the said city of Cracow and its territory. We join it for ever to our crown, and declare that it forms an insepa rable portion of our empire, in which we incorporate it. " We name the Count Maurice de Deyme, our cham berlain, member of the Council and Governor of Prague, our Aulic commissioner, for this taking into possession, and we seriously invite all the inhabitants of the town of Cracow, and of its ci-devant territory, in their own in terest, to obey that Aulic commissioner sent by us, and also to the authorities whom we confirm, and whom we establish anew. We invite them, besides, to follow punc tually the ordinances made and to be made. " On the other hand, we promise them the main tenance and protection of our holy religion, impartial justice, equal division of imposts, and full and entire guarantee of the public security to those who will render . themselves worthy of our grace by submitting imme • diately to the present measure, which is in their interest, and by their fidelity and their devotion to our house. We shall always be a mild Prince and a gracious Em peror, and we shall make every effort in our power to insure to them the benefits that their union to a great and powerful monarchy is of a nature to guarantee to the inhabitants of Cracow. " Done in our Imperial Palace at Vienna, the 11th of November, 1846, and of our reign the 12th. " FERDINAND (L. S.) " CHARLES COUNT DE JAZAGHE, First Chancellor. " FRANCIS BARON DE PILLERSDORFF, Aulic Chancellor. " JOHN BARON DE KRUCKZA, Vice-Chan cellor. " By the special order of his Apostolic Majesty. " FRANCIS CHEVALIER OF WADHERNY, Antic Councillor." The following proclamation has been issued by the provisional Governor of Cracow:— " Field-Marshal Lieutenant Count de Castiglione, entrusted provisionally with the government of the free city of Cracow by the three protecting Powers, has announced in their name that on the 6th instant they drew up and signed the following convention:— " Considering that the conspiracy which in the month of February, 1846, led to certain events in the Grand Duchy of Posen, was a project arranged at a distance, with the assistance of numerous accomplices in that country ; considering that this criminal faction took arms at the time agreed upon, commenced hostilities, and circulated proclamations which excited the minds of the people to a general revolt ; considering that Cracow became the seat of a central authority which assumed the name of a revolutionary Government, and that this Government issued ordonnances for the direction of the insurrection ; considering that all these circsmstances have put the city of Cracow into a mi serable state of war, which would have authorised the three Courts of Austria, Prussia, and Russia to use all the rights which a state of war gives ; considering that upon this one ground the three Courts aforesaid might have disposed as they thought proper of a terri torry which bad taken a hostile attitude against them; but, considering also that the intention of the three said Powers is not to subject the city of Cracow to the law of the strongest; considering that where there is so great an inequality of force, such law ought not to come into operation ; considering that it is no longer a question for an act of retaliation against that city, nor for its punish ment, but that the high protecting Powers only desire to re- establish peace and order in the territory of Cra cow, and have not any other object than to protect their subjects from a recurrence of events which have so seriously disturbed their tranquillity; considering that by a treaty of peace concluded between them on the 21st of April (3d May), 1815, the city of Cracow, with its tern. tones, was declared a free, independent, and strictly neu tral city, and placed under the protection of the three high contracting Powers, and that the three Courts have desired to put into execution by this convention the arti cles relating to Cracow in their several treaties of the 21st April (3d May), 1815, of which one was concluded be tween his Majesty the Emperor of Austria and his Ma jesty the Emperor of Russia ; and the other, of the same date, between the Emperor of Russia and his Ma jesty the Kizg of Prussia ' • but, considering that the existence of the free city of Cracow, so far from fulfil ling their intentions, has been s source of disorders and troubles, which for a period of twenty years have not only menaced the peace and prosperity of that free city, and the security of the neighbouring territories, but have further had for object to overthrow the state of affairs established by the treaties of 1815; " Considering that numerous events of this kind, which are too generally known to render it necessary to examine them further, have entirely changed in its essence the nature of the condition of the city of Cracow, and that by proceedings contrary to the provisions of existing treaties Cracow has on several occasions cast aside the duties which a strict neutrality would impose upon her, which proceedings have on several occasions led to the armed intervention of :the three Powers, and that all the modifications heretofore effected in her con stitution, with a view of giving more strength to her Government, have not been sufficient to prevent a re currence of these deplorable events—considering that the patient spirit manifested in the benevolent ordonnance of the three Governments, instead of leading to the object intended, has only served to strengthen the irreconcilable enemies of order in their projects, and that the free city of Cracow is now become the focus of a new and extensive conspiracy, the ramifications of which extend into all the ancient provinces of Poland;— " Considering that this culpable and disloyal project has been followed up by an attack with open force on the part of Cracow, which has become the centre from which the spirit of revolt has sought to undermine the foundations of the interior tranquillity of the adjacent territories—considering, from this circumstance, that it appears that Cracow, as a political state, is evidently too weak to resist the continual attempts of Polish emigrants, which hold that city in a state of moral servitude, so that she no longer affords to the Powers aforesaid any secu rity against a recurrence of the attempts at disturbance so often made;— " Considering, further, that enterprises of this cha racter are an evident violation of the treaty of the 21st April (3d May), 1815, as also the second article of the act of constitution for the free city of Cracow of the 30th May, 1833 —considering that the conventions above mentioned concerning Cr acow, agreed to by the three Powers, were repeated in articles 6,7, 8,9, and 10 of the general act of the Congress of Vienna of the 9th of June, 1815, solely in order that that treaty might comprehend the various results of the arrangements concluded in the course of particular negotiations betweent he Govern ments ;—considering consequently that if the three aforesaid Courts now agree to change In regard to Cra cow a state of things upon which they were voluntarily agreed in 1815, they are only adopting the exercise of an incontestable right • " Considering all which precedes, and having taken into serious consideration the safety of their territories, so often threatened by the free city of Cracow, the three Courts of Austria, Prussia, and Russia have agreed to the following resolutions : " First. The said three Courts of Austria, Prussia, and Russia revoke the articles of the treaties concerning the city of Cracow, agreed to, the one between his Majesty th:Emperor of Russia and the Emperor of Austria, and the _ o : um her. between the Emperor of Russia and the King of n, and sign e d on th e 21 s t Ap r il (3d May), 1815. .1" In like manner the a dditional treaty between Aus tria, Prussia, and Russia, of the same date, is revoked and suppress e d. " Secondly. In conse quence , the city of C r acow and its territories ar e restor ed Austria, and re-united to the Austrian monarchy, to t be possessed by his imperial, royal, and apostolic Majesty, as it was previous to the year 1809.

We rejoice, therefore, that Mr. O ' CONNELL will not " adopt the crude schemes and blustering violence of Europe which can alone guarantee its tranquillity we are struggling to prevent the retrogression of the continental principalities to the days of their old sub jection ; we are struggling in the cause of freedom, and for the spread of liberal jurisdiction. By an imperial decree, signed by FERDINAND and counter-signed by the High Chancellor, FRANCOIS Baron DE I'ILLERSDORFF, the villanous spoliation of Cracow and its dependencies is officially announced. After a preamble commenting upon the insurrec tionary movement of February last, and insinuating that it was in some measure associated with " the tranquil inhabitants of the city of Cracow," his Im perial, Royal, and Apostolic Majesty has the coin summate coolness to say, " WHEREFORE we take possession of the said city and territory of Cracow !" Never were the solemn stipulations of a treaty con cluded between eight such nations as England, France, Austria, Russia, Prussia, Spain, Sweden, and Por tugal, broken with such insolent and contemptuous audacity. Never since the appearance of the puissant adventurer, RODOLPII of Hapsburg—not even in the monster perfidy of 1772, 1793, and 1795—has the Austrian power been so basely exerted, and exerted, moreover, with such an air of unkingly braggadocio, It is certain, however, that the despotic Govern ments of the north would never have dared to per petrate a political crime of such magnitude had not a most seductive opportunity just now presented itself. That deplorable opportunity, to which alone this annexation of Cracow is attributable, has originated exclusively from the avarice and faithlessness of our Gallic neighbour. By the Mont pensier marriage—a marriage solemnized in defiance of the sacred engagements of PHILIP of Orleans and in opposition to the reiterated protests of the English Government—Louis PuirarrE has entailed upon Europe a lengthened catalogue of sufferings and difficulties. For his own family aggrandisement, for the lawless extension of his dynastic influence, for the emolument and elevation of his own children, that illustrious but misguided SOVEREIGN has set an example of political perfidy which other Governments have not been slow to imitate. If Austria and her accomplices, Russia and Prussia, have violated the Treaty of Vienna, France had already torn that of Utrecht to ribbons. If FERDINAND has aimed at his I own aggrandisement, and in doing so has derided the indignation of other states, LOUIS PHILIPPE has done in like manner, notwithstanding the avowed dis pleasure of a friendly people. If the Emperor of AUSTRIA and King of HUNGARY and BOHEMIA has obliged the "tranquil inhabitants" of Cracow to pay homage to his representative, Count MAURICE DE DRYME, the King of the FRENCH and of the Barricades, had long before harnessed the unoffending population of Spain to the bridal chariot of the Due de MON T. , . PENSIER, and had virtually appointed the Count DE BRssoN as his viceroy in the Peninsula. France may protest against the infamous annexation of Cracow, but the Austrians may contumeliously throw that protestation back in her teeth. France may com plain of the infraction of the compact of 1815, but the Northern Powers may point derisively to her own infraction of the compact of 1713. France may utter a remonstrance, but that remonstrance will be necessarily feeble from the very consciousness of her own culpability. She cannot co-operate at this im portant crisis with Great Britain ; the entente cor diale is broken, the friendship of the two great na tions is interrupted, the hope of their immediate and permanent alliance does not exist. Notwithstanding these remarkable and unfortunate obstacles, protests must be forwarded to St. Peters burgh, to Vienna, and to Berlin—humanity calls for these protests, civilisation calls for them, freedom and the people are vociferous in the demand. Unless some signal example be made, the violation of treaties will be an everyday occurrence, the domination of physical strength over moral rights will become the pre dominant principle in European legislation, the boundaries of nations will depend upon the capricious dictates of avarice or ambition. Unless some start ling step be taken, unless some portentous attitude be assumed, unless England and her colleagues are unanimous in upholding the liberal institution of their brother man, the prerogatives and immunities hitherto sustained in this hemi sphere will be shaken to their founda ti'ans, the baleful effects of tyranny and feudalism will be again experienced, the talisman which has h eretofore secured us peace will be broken in twain. 'L'he neutrality of Belgium is implicated in the d espised neutrality of Cracow; the integrity of the Grerman constitutions is implicated in the derided integrity of the Cracovian republic. From the Austrian seizure of that luckless city, the Northern Powers may, by a natural sequence of events, proceed to the Russian seizure of Constantinople. The Western empires must bestir themselves ; they must maintain the cause of liberality from which they have derived such incalculable blessings, and repulse the despotic advances of the Prussian, the Austrian, and the Russian. Our interference at this moment will be no Quix otic enterprise in behalf of some half-dozen Polish burgomasters. In protesting against the execrable spoliation of the Cracovian republic, we shall be advo cating the cause of the helpless oppressed—we shall be insisting upon the obedience of nations to the articles of a treaty—we shall be insuring the continuance of the balance of power in Europe—we shall be cherishing the germs of regeneration in future days and among distant people. The three great dynasties of the North are excavating the ground beneath their feet. Letthem tarry in their wholesale aggressions. Europe warns them from the West. By such heinous in fringements upon the political rights of the times, and such monstrous proceedings as this annexation of Cracow, the kingdom they had dismembered years ago, may be evoked from its ashes, and the wrongs of Poland may call upon their perpetrators a terrible vengeance. men who, as yet at least, have achieved no victory, and cannot point out any conquest." By the latest intelligence, the state of Ireland ge nerally continues to be progressing as favourably as we could reasonably expect. The price of food has undergone a further reduction, and importations on an extended scale are daily taking place. Labour for the poor is now more easily secured ; fair wages are gained, and a spirit of contentment is rapidly diffus ing itself among the labouring classes. The accounts from Cork are most cheerful. Drainage is being carried on in the districts of that county, under the auspices of public officers, with the greatest vigour, and with every promise of ultimate and abun dant recompense. Whilst, however, this improvement is manifesting itself amongst those whose severe priva tions required prompt relief, and without which public tranquillity would have been seriously compromised, the small landlords are growing uneasy at the ex penditure incurred in the prosecution of works which are not of the most useful or remunerative character. They seem to forget that it was the first duty of the Government to see that the people were not left to starve, and also that by themselves, from the sudden ness and extent of the national calamity, and their want of capital, little or Rothirg could be effected with sufficient alacrity to mitigate the suffer ings of the famishing poor. A vast debt of gratitude is owing to the Government for having hitherto preserved the public peace, by furnishing food and employment for the thousands upon thousands who were suddenly reduced to the brink of despair. Had this not been done, no man's property would have been safe. Landlords can now turn their attention with greater advantage as to the best means by which, either by a well-extended scheme of voluntary relief, or by a judicious and co operative prosecution of reproductive undertakings, they can diminish the hitherto large, but forced ex penditure, under the authority of the Board of Public Works. This could not have been done before. The danger of a general outbreak was imminent, and not a moment was to be lost. Undoubtedly, the proviso of Mr. LABOU CHERE, requiring unanimity in the different landed proprietors, where money was desired to be appropri ated to productive operations, has grievously ham pered the intelligent, politic, and benevolent inten tions of a large number of extensive owners of land. The evil tendency of this and other regulations has been clearly unfolded in the memorial addressed to the Lord-Lieutenant by the Agricultural Society. The following extract is worthy of notice : "To obviate these difficulties, and to carry out the principle which your Excellency has so wisely recog nised, viz., that the amount of taxation necessary to meet the present emergency shall be expended upon re productive works, your memorialists respectfully submit that each proprietor, or combination of two or more proprietors, who may be willing to charge their propor tion of the rate for employing the poor, upon any parti cular land to be improved thereby, shall be entitled to have it expended on such land, and be relieved to that ex tent from the payment of rate; and that the works so to be undertaken need not be confined to drainage or sub soiling, but may include works of a reproductive nature, suited to the wants of the locality for which they are proposed, provided oply that such works meet with the approbation of the Board of Public Works." The suggestion herein made is based on a fair prin ciple, and we dare say will be favourably entertained by the Executive. It puts the saddle upon the right horse. Those who have been absent, and neglected their tenantry, will indirectly be made to feel that they cannot continue such neglect with impunity. The resi dent frugal and painstaking landlord will not, upon the principle recommended, be unjustly mulcted for the improvidence and supineness of his neighbouring proprietor. All these things will quickly find their proper level. The marvel is that the social condition of Ireland has not been more out of joint.

It is said that the Government, in order to mollify the effect of this act, proposes calling together the States General in the month of February, but it is not yet known whether that is to be at Berlin or at Brandenburg. It is the first time of the States being convoked, and it is expected that when 500 representatives shall be assembled toge ther, they will not separate without giving the country a constitution.' The King of DENMARK has just published an edict relative to the liberty of trade with China.

Mr. O'CONNELL is unbending in his resolution to keep aloof from Young Ireland. He leaves them without a loophole. No reunion between the dis sentient forces can take place, short of an absolute renunciation on the part of Young Ireland of their " physical force" principle. From a letter, written by Dr. BLAKE, the Bishop of Dromore, and read the day before yesterday at the meeting of the Repeal Association, it is evident that many of the tried and devoted admirers of Mr. O'CONNELL are anxious that the seceders should be rendered sensible of the erroneous policy they are pursuing, and return to Conciliation Hall. Disunion is always a source of weakness. But, we conceive that, as there is no rule without an excep tion, so the Repeal Association has been considerably strengthened by the severance of Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN and his coadjutors, This strength has been derived, first, from the excellence of the principle of moral force as distinguished from the detestable doctrine propounded by the recusant party, and, next, from the insignificant number of those who have repudi ated the peaceful policy of the Liberator. Again, it was formerly frequently urged against Mr. O'CoN NELL that he was not sincere in his advocacy of pur suing his various public objects by legal and constitutional means alone. The proceedings of the disaffected portion of the repealers have affiarded Mr. O'CONNELL an opportunity of de monstrating how unswerving is his fidelity to the principle of peace. By the bold stand he made on this point, and at a moment, too, when it was un certain how far the reckless policy of Young Ireland might L have been expanded, and at a crisis, more over, when, by reason of the feeling of almost absolute despair that pervaded the minds of an excitable people, menaced with the horrors of famine, the slightest leanings by the Liberator towards the physical force doctrine, might have engulphed all Ireland in the vortex of civil re bellion—by the bold part which Mr. O'CONNELL has thus assumed from the first, and still firmly presents, he has rivetted his claims upon the confidence of millions of his countrymen, by whom all his efforts for political amelioration have for years been ardently seconded. On Monday Mr. O'CONNELL read his long and able report upon the resolutions published in Cork, which called upon the Association to alter the terms of its resolutions of the 13th of July last, by which the doors of Con ciliation Hall were closed against the adherents of physical force. The report was received with accla mation. It sets forth that the slightest concession to the seceders would be tantamount to signing the THE SUN, _LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 25, 1846. in Austrian Galicia. She must know, besides, that the annihilation of Poland throws down the first barrier between Russia and the West, and that whenever the torrent breaks its bounds Prussia would be the first suf ferer. The common hatred, however, of the three Governments against our revolution has decided them in taking the resolution they have adopted. " This state of things, properly understood, will of it self explain the utility and possible grandeur of the alliance between France and England. We are aware. however, of the difficulties which stand in the way of such an alliance. We know that ten years of faults have obscured this question, so clear, however, since 1830. In 1836 the alliance was broken from a fear of executing the most politic of interventions,. ; in 1839 it was broken by making ourselves ultra-Egyptians, which, however, would have been comprehensible if we had gone on to the end. England has passed successively from friend ship to distrust, and from distrust to hostility. It was attempted,lindeed, in 1840, to bring together abruptly the two separated nations ; but in France, since, their pleasure seems to have been taken in exciting lively susceptibilities. Nothing, in fact, rendered necessary the signing of the treaty of the right of visit—a treaty more than useless—or the ridiculous conquest of the barren rocks of the Marquesas. More than four years have been taken up with the passionate de bates caused on both sides of the channel by these subjects. These gratuitous faults have rendered the alliance difficult and rather unpopular in both countries; but they do not prevent their good intelligence from be coming, in the present state of the world, the true guarantee of peace and liberty. It is objected that the two nations are rivals at sea. This point cannot be contested. But a grand rivalry does not prevent alli ances. It will not be denied that France and Austria were rivals on the Continent in the last century, and yet France was allied with Austria. It is to the free dom of action which this alliance gave that we must attribute the fine war which France was able to carry on in America against England, Besides, we must see whether in the mode of appreciating this rivalry the souvenir of the past does not play a more extensive part than the study of the present. If, indeed, the question were now, as formerly, a struggle fur the possession of India, without doubt the interests of the two countries would be irreconcilable ; but the question of India is solved, and our greatest colo nial interests are now in Africa, the prosperity of which is to be best assured by a long peace with England. The two nations having made the reasonable concession, one of India, the other of Africa, their maritime rivalry is, for the present at least, more ap parent than real, Now is there anybody in France who has ai idea of sending out squadrons and an army to attempt the conquest of British India ? Is there, on the other hand, an intelligent Englishman who does not comprehend that Algeria, where the presence of 50,000 men in times of calm, and of 100,000 in disturbed times is necessary, can only be possessed, colonised, and de fended by the interest of the continental powers in men and money ? If a conflict were to take place between France and England, we world strike the most terrible blows at English commerce, and England could gravely compromise our possession of Africa ; but what true profit would either France or England derive from such a war ? In the present state of things the two countries could do each other great injury, without either being able to take from the other anything that it has great in terest in acquiring. On the contrary, let us turn our eyes to the Continent. There the interests of the two nations, which in the time of the Empire were divided, arc now nearly identical. Both have an equal interest in the maintenance of distinct nationalities, the independence of nations, and the equilibrium of Governments. It is no longer France that menaces the independence of the Continent; our Government is, unfortunately, very far from those days of grandeur; the menace comes from another point. The treaties of Vienna, which were drawn up against us, have just been scandalously torn up, to the profit of the absolute powers. England is particularly anxious for the equilibrium of Europe; France is, above all, attached to the cause of liberty. The peril is now equal for liberty and for the equilibrium of Europe. Justice and the common interest of France and England require that the nationality of Poland should subsist, that the free towns should be respected, that the German constitutions should not be illusory, that neutralities should not be violated, that Belgium should remain free and neutral, that Switzerland should throw off the ultramontane yoke, and be no longer in hourly dread of intervention, and that Italy should not be slowly conquered by oppression. All these secondary nations which sur round and separate the great Powers are the allies of liberty for France, and the guarantees of the peace of the continent for England. When the absolute Sove reigns coalesce against the west, England sees Europe leaning on one side ; when a nation falls, when a liberty perishes, it is a battle lost for France. The interests of the two nations become equally mixed up when the inland seas of Europe are in question. The free pas sage of the Sound and of the Dardanelles, which com mand the navigation of the North and Mediterranean Seas, equally interest France and England. When it is necessary to protect Constantinople against a slow but inflexible ambition, and to prevent one day a sudden notification being given to the two Governments of some fresh act of usurpation towards the east, the rivality is not between France and England. A good under standing is not therefore, impossible between the two countries, although it has its difficulties. It might be glorious; both have to struggle against the aggressions of the absolute powers. Are there not, moreover, be tween France and England other points of contact besides interests ? The two nations are united by a community of principles. Both have established, as the basis of their social state, that there is in the world another right besides the divine right to which dynasties pretend. They have given this example to every nation, and henceforth render more easy the enfranchisement of Europe ; it may be said that they have paid by two revolutions for the liberty of nations. We have en tered after England on this road, but we advance more quickly, and we abridge, so to speak, her history. Is it not a noble task to defend by a common accord the cause of liberty and civilisation ? Generous sentiments have a great influence on the resolutions of the two people. The nationality of Poland certainly is not less worthy of inspiring elevated minds than the eman cipation of negroes. When one nation dies under the restraint of a coalition of absolute Kings, every free and proud people ought to feel struck to the heart. If France and England had not been divided, it is certain that their good understanding would have paralysed the projects of the absolute courts. It is evident that the common will of the two most powerful nations of Europe, supported by treaties, and seconded by the burst of pub lic opinion, would have been invincible. It is now very difficult to come back upon un fait accompli ; besides, the misunderstanding of the two Governments appears to subsist, and their protests appear to remain isolated. We, nevertheless, hope that, laying aside their misunder standings and their quarrels, the two nations will unite to produce from their alliance something grand and use ful which may efface all resentment and all objections. France ought not to forget that each of her conflicts with England gives fresh chances to counter-revolution; England should not forget that each of her ruptures with France makes Russia advance a step nearer towards Constantinople." The Commerce also recommends the formation of a strict and honourable alliance with England—not a renewal of the entente cordiale of the Ministry of the 29th of October; but, it adds, that such an alliance cannot be constructed by the present Ministry. The article thus concludes : " Let a Cabinet more firm, more liberal, more jealous of our supremacy, succeed the present Ministry, and France will prove that, without infeodating herself to any other power, rival or friendly, without causing a de plorable isolation to succeed an entente cordiale, rendered unnatural by those who had made a yoke of it, she will know how to choose between the two extreme points, solid, fruitful, and above all, honourable alliances. For our part we ask for nothing better than such an alliance with England. There is between her and France a com munity of principles. As to interests, they are sometimes at variance; but would not this be the case on other points —with Russia, for instance, which is under a political re gime completely hostile to the ideas of which France makes the glory of her flag. We must not despair of seeing one day at the head of our Government men who will know how, with energetic perseverance and a true knowledge of affairs, to regulate between England and us the thorny question of material interests. The field is sufficiently wide for a line of demarcation to leave a large and fine part for each nation , and furnish a suffi cient vent for their expansive force without collision, without any of those conflicts which have hitherto had for object to revive, keep up, and devel o p the prejudices and national hatreds which are no longer the spirit of the age. This is how we comprehend alliances in ge neral, and that with England in particular. It is for having misunderstood and still misunderstanding these high necessities that the present Cabinet has made the entente cordiale a scourge for France; and we are s ure that with it all new friendship , all international relations, having for basis the same system, the same causes, will produce the same results." The Presse, the organ of Russia, still advocates the Russian alliance, and it is plain would willingly sacrifice, not only the nationality of Poland, but the freedom of action of France herself, for the honour of being " acceptable to Russia." The Bey of Tunis, ARMED PACIIA, arrived on Sunday in Paris, at one o'clock, by a special train of the Orleans Railway. He was received at the sta tion by M. DESGRANGES, First Secretary, Inter preter to the King of the FRENCH, and by Colonel THIERRY, Aide-de-camp to the Due Da MONTPEN SIER, who are charged to attend the BEY during his sojourn in Paris. Six of the royal carriages were in attendance, to carry the BEY and his suite to the Palace of the Elysee Bourbon, where apartments were prepared for their reception. Throughout his route from Toulon to Paris the BEY has been re ceived by the French authorities as a sovereign. The /l/wiiteur publishes a royal ordonnance, sepa rating the administration and military command of Goree from that of St. Louis, thus erecting Goree into a separate colony.

Shall the Northern despots be permitted to trample upon the rights of an independent people, and to dice away the faith of international engagements, with impunity ? The recent incorporation of the Cracovian republic with the territories of the Emperor FERDINAND: is a violation of the supreme code by which European affairs are regulated, such as has no parallel in bistory for its hypocrisy and turpitude. Austrian honour is henceforth a by word amongst civilised nations ; the fame of Prus sian valour is tarnished by a concession as cowardly as it is execrable ; the shadow of / dignity by which the CZAR of all the Russias was yet invested is dissipated for ever, and the very grandeur of the power which has been so basely employed will henceforth shroud it with reproach and ignominy. It is no poetical illusion which now enkindles the wrath of England, and charges her in the name of humanity and civilisation to vindicate her own insulted dignity. It is no delu sive phantasm which calls upon us in the voice of buried Poland to prevent the destruction of the last fragment of a kingdom, in whose behalf the sword Of KOSCIUSKO had been wielded, and the oriflamme of SOBIESKI unfurled. In striving to thwart the perfidious intentions of the Northern Powers we are not merely endeavouring to preserve the free navigation of the Dardanelles, we are not merely desirous of retarding the progress of Russian influence towards Byzantium—we are not merely anxious to perpetuate the existence of an in dependent city of secondary importance—we are struggling to maintain that balance of power in We have received the Paris papers of Monday. If we are to trust to the information of the Cour rier Francais, King LOUIS PHILIPPE is getting alarmed at the unwonted energy exhibited by M. GIIIZOT in preparing to at once carry out his protest against the annexation of Cracow, and that a Mole Ministry may shortly be expected to be inau gurated in office. Count MOLE has hitherto been the staunch advocate of an intimate alliance with Russia. Such an alliance we believe would now be scarcely .tolerated by the people of France, after the contempt which Russia has shown for French interests and French feelings in the affair of Cracow. The following is article from the Courtier Francais to which we allude W e are , it appears, in a decided Ministerial crisis. On reading this single line in the Portcfeuille—‘ Count Mole had yesterday a long conference with the King'— we sought information, and learnt that the pacific M. Guizot, in order to meet the accusations of Lord Pal merston, wished to commit follies—to take Laudau, fortify Haninguen, pass the bridge of Kehl, and so go on. Then it was that Count Mole was called in, as M. Guizot was ao longer a possible Minister either for the north or the west; and it was found most convenient for maintaining the system to change the Ministry. Will Count Mole go towards England or towards one of the Northern Courts? It is said that the visit of Lord Nor manby to Champlatreux may have changed the opinions of Count Mole with regard to England. But what will become of Poland between Lord Palmerston and Count Mole?" It is evident that a Ministerial crisis is at hand in France, and if Count MOLE should come into office upon the pair a tout prix principle and sacrifice, not only Poland, but the rights which France has just acquired by the violation by the Northern Powers of the Treaty of Vienna, he will find himself in precisely the same position in which he was placed in 1840, opposed not only by the great bulk of the French people, but by all the great leaders of party, by M. GUIZOT, by M. ODILON %lino; and last, though not least, by M. TRIERS. The following article from the Constitutionnel, which is, according to report, from the pen of M. TIIIERS, and may be looked upon as his programme of policy, is valuable, not only as being .the manifesto of the chief of a great and influential party, but as showing to both France and England the terms upon which an honourable and safe alliance may be constructed between, and maintained by, the two nations : " The resolution of the three Northern Powers to act," says the Constitutionnel, " without our consent in the affair of Cracow has caused astonishment to our Cabinet. For our own parts we have felt no surprise at the inflexible antipathy manifested towards us by the absolute powers. We have never deceived ourselves as to the aversion with which revolutionary Franca has inspired them. The fact, however, much it may be to be regretted, has always appeared too evident. The efforts which our Government has made to extinguish a liberal spirit in France, and the half success of which it boasts, have rather encouraged then weakened the hostility of the Northern Courts. They only see in us a revolutionary Government ashamed of being so ; but that shame does not efface the crime. With regard to the question of Cracow, we can comprehend that Aus tria, desirous to realise, by the acquisition of that city, her pretensions of 1815, may have forgotten the reasons she had for mistrusting the solicitations of Russia, who will make her pay, sooner or later, a hundredfold, on the lower Danube. But Prussia ought to know that any thing which tends to strengthen the Muscovite power in the Ducky of Warsaw hastens the day when Russian ambition will become threatening to Prussia herself. The complete annihilation of Poland was not necessary to maintain the peaceful obedience of the Grand Duchy of Posen ; for in the last insurrection the Poles were seen to throw themselves voluntarily into the arms of Prussia, who appeared to protest against the massacres Londonderry and Ennis ...... ......... 15 ...... .............. vnn and Ely ..... ..... 15 ...... ............... 151/4 Tham ......
