We have recaived the following mess3ge by electric telegraph, diTatched yesterday morning, the 25th, from Trieste : " The steamer Egitto has just arrived. " A brigade, uryler Brigadier Reynolds, C. 8., consisting of her Mnjesty's 18!11 Royal Irish, her lijesty's 80:a Regiment, and the 35th Native Infantry-, with a proportiocate force of artillery, left Rangoon on the 18th of September in steamers for Prom., accompanied by General Godwin. " The ste.ftmeri were to return immediately for the second brigade. " The Burmese troops had destroyed Prome, and had posted themselves in musses on a height ten miles off the town. " ['hey were said to be only 7,000 strong, with a few guns." FRANCE. We have received the Paris jeuruals of yesterday. Cabinet Councils arc daily 10-11 at St. Cloud. The Afoniteur say:, :—" Some journals have spoken of a Journey which they said the Prince President was on the point of making in the n orth of France. We are authorized to declare that the statement is en tirely unfounded." Among thnumerous addresses presented to th e Prince President in favour of the reestablishment of the Empire, published iu the bloniteur of this day, is the f o ll ow i n g, from the Chaincer of Commerce of Paris:— " M o nseigucur—You have said, L'Empire, c'est l a paix ;' that is to say, order, labour, credit, and an im. pulse given to ell great public and private undertakings; it is public welfare finding its way into all classes of so ciety ; it is general prosperity ! France, which has faith in your words, which relies on all that you meditate for her happiness, and which knows, by experience, that between your will and its realizstien there is scarcely time for hope—France, by her immense and unanimous acclamation, decrees to you the supreme power. " Yield to her wishes, Monseigneur ; it will constitute another claim which you will acquire to her gratitude. "The Commerce of Paris, of which we are the organ, offers to you beforehand its sincere thanks. In order to live and prosper it has need of peace, and it expects it from you with the most complete security ; it compre hends that it Rill be the more solid and more durable, as under your reign it will never be purchased at the price of the honour and grandeur of our country." Preparations are being male at the Luxembourg for the extraordinary session which will commence on the 4th November. The bureaux are busily em ployed in examining the petitions which every day arrive from the departments in favour of the Empire. Several clerks belonging to the different ministries are, says the Constitutionnel, now employed at the National Library in collecting all the details which have been published relative to the coronation of dif ferent Kings, and of the Emperor Napoleon. The Fresse, in its weekly commercial bulletin, says : " The commercial accounts of this week are not less satisfactory than were those of the preceding one. The activity i n i ndustr i al affa i rs, en d t h e we ll-maintained improvement iu the public funds, have tended to excite til() most sanguine hopes among our mercantile and Ill ai?ufacturing interests for the winter reason. Extra ordinary activity prevails in the manufactories of PariP, Where fear) are even entertained that they will not be able to s u ., ' , Ply all the articles wanted for winter sale. G oo d w orkmen have become so scarce that an increase of 'vvkzes has been given in almost all the manufactories." The; mayor of Lisieux having submitted to the I , ll ,habitant s ✓ o f that town a p e tition f or th e E m p e r o r, .e text of which he announces to have been sent o hun by the prefect of the department, the Presse Bays B c l kie Persons will, perhaps, be tempted to regard 1' i ntervention of the administrative authority as a having rev ea l e d t hi s deta il . W e cons id er, on th e con trary,v that th e prefect and t h e mayor h ave acte d equa ll y ell, as they have conformed their conduct to prevailing - ia s '; rlei ,P l ee Frank and avowed interference in the free —n; eatations of the country is one of the principles w hich b e l ong to the present Government, and which distinguishes it f rom prece di ng ones . This principle was set forth for the first time, and with great clearness, by de ,Morey, then Minister of the luterior, in the case -1 the elections for the Legislative body. The Mayor of Lisieu x has, therefore, nothing to di•semble, because the prefect of the Calvades has dune nothing isolated." in An official reception took place on Saturday even- A at St. Cloud, at which were present General gre43-baud, MM. Fould, Abutted, and Bineau, and a atgre number of senators, deputies, and councillors of The P r i nce P res ident, whose health appears wi t () h ave be en i mprove d by his journey, conversed h a n number of the persons present. I sc r„ l ,,Sunday, Mr. Roney, the secretary of the Great Exhibition to be held at Dublin, had the St n°ll , r to be received by the Prince President at - ' 11 ( 1 . The Prince at once entered on the sub withwith Which he appeared to be perfectly familiar, le rett iog that he had not been able to meet Mr. ch ic . with Mr. R one y on th e occasion of their visit, c at ich 111Dpene.d just as he was on the eve of setting se: 34 his tour to the south. Without hesitation the tral-I,ce acceded to Mr. Roney's request to send over wi ts choice speclinensof the famous Sevres porcelain, de " ether objects of rare excellence iu the French nts of manufactures from the national esta blP;trtr" of V a Tta of Beauvais, Gubelins, &c., under the care The. `lighnes's own agents, and at his own cost. 111 ttgeooth4 e rsatien, which was of some length, turned Cons er On matters practically connected with the iae I i. e n h a i n b i i f t e i s o t n e for the success of which the Prince cor/ I : n f i ; his bnt wishes. t er ' v n Scec/c has the following on the French in entine in Italy : p oi, Par from us be the idea of reviving, in any way, the r su „ ul t i e to which the expedition to Rome gave rise. We 0 0 nllmved, however, to call to mind that the Go -Br,cernent of the President of the Republic declared in ,ritu that it asst an army into Central Italy, in order to ,Vvient that part of the Peninsula from falling under the CSl e li s siv e influence of Austria. A personal act of the Cole' of the Government of that time—the letter . to d ipt, n n t : l Eigard Nay—afterwards proved the decided I°Jl of misters to predominate in the Roman States principles4.„i which are ' not, so far as wo know, those of t ' i 't• Events may have caused the Presidential di ' re `q to deviate from the object to which it was vs s ; but, until we have proof to the contrary, " c a`se a right to think that there has not been „ °osplished at Rome what it was wished to ac t-r°itnPlish there in the name of France.

" P°P, tend unlimited confidence in the French ,e,nrnent, they take the most active measures to ex French influence. Parma and the Duchy of Mo n• a no longer enjoy any real irdepeudence; it will soon the same with Tuscany and Lucca, which have only farmed' one S tate s i nce the death of Maria Louisa. So the a s regards T uscany, t h e t hi ng i s c l ear from one of clauses of the conetnercial league concluded with fi 4 S t l' t tr ia, end which w ill b e carr i ed into act i vity at the ra favourable opportunity.

Is this clear? It is, however, on the ascendancy of the clergy that reaction relies the most; every endeavour is therefore made to abolish indirectly, at least, in Tuscany the Loopoldine laws by means of a new Concordat with Rome. However reactionary they may be, the pre sent Tuscany ministsrs, being accused of Josephism by their opponents, must before long give place to others. The Archdukes of Austria, of a hundred years ago, are now found to be revolutionists, and wo do not complain of of it, since it is always k ag t ains l t their own exaggeration wee thin r k t order there tiso brat t ain that reactions are . wrecked. ascendancy to religmn and that is to strengthen .t l morality by the examp°l.necolf°deiasii; and indifference to the things a of , t t i • s esteduess, ti l l world.

The Clamor Public() states that the Government int,ends to defer the construction of the Northern Railway until the lines from Madrid to Valencia, from Barcelona to Madrid, and from Mar to San-au der, k llllll have been completed, from a fear that a monetary crisis might bf 4 produced by the withdrawal of the capital necessary for the construction of so many lines at the same time. M. Sanchez Mendoza, who has obtained the concession for a line from Cadiz !o Jerez, had returned from London, where he had been to give orders for the materiel necessary for the construction of the line. A Madrid letter of the 20th says :—" General Au pick, the French Ambassador, since his return from Bordeaux, has loudly expressed the interest felt by the Prince President towards Spain, and his warm desire to strengthen as much as possible the bonds of friend ship and good intelligence which now exist between the two nations and their governments."

YESTERDAY'S RACING AT NEWMARKET, &c. Ia one of the most uncomfortable days that can be well imagined, as good a list of sport was decided as could be wished for. _ _ I The match - between Diomedia and Warbler, marked for the first race of the day, having been declared off by consent, the sport commenced with the Criterion Stakes, which resulted in a very unexpected manner in favour Kr. Payne's Sp, ed-the.Plough, who was not backed, hat I have heard, either in town or at Newmarket. He shmasahoi odds, he he deceived n oncebefore, h w im hen h , h b is a h c i k o e g d h by ow h e i v s e o r w a ne g r oo a d t fifth to Orestes for the Woodcote, at Epsom. He is un commonly well bred for heavy ground, being by Cother stone, out of the Farmer's Daughter ; and to the state of the course yesterday, I think, may be attributed in some measure his victory. Along with North Pole, West Australian, Filbert, and Sittingbourne, he ran head to head to the stand, where he took a lead of halt a length, and kept it. A close race for second place between West Australian and Filbert, terminated in favour of the former by a long neck. North Pole was fourth, close up, and the crack Sittingbourne, backed against the field of six at ovens, dead beat by his six pounds penalty and the dirt, was a good filth. Amazon and lonic were beaten early-. The Handicap Plate of 501. over the Cambridgeshire curse—a sort of trial stake to the great race of to-day —was carried off very cleverly on the post by one of 134bette,'s trial horses, Gladiole. Carbuncle cut out the work to the Duke's stand, whore all cried, Enougn! .ith the exception of the winner, Trousseau, Carbuncle, Knight of the Garter, and Henrietta. Trousseau took up the lead, and carried it on, until within a stride or •wo of the chair, where Gladiole got her head in front and kept it there. It was a close race for the last hundred yards. Carbuncle finished a good third, Knight of the Garter fourth, and Henrietta fifth. The rest, in cluding Hungerford, the Confessor, and Cotton Lady, were scattered far and wide. This victory of Babette's Schoolmistress, looking through the trial telescope at the Cambridgeshire, caused the immediate fall of Ba bette from sixes to fours, and Lady Evelyn from twenty fives to sixteens. It was said, by persons connected with the stable, that the heavy state of the ground was rather in favour of Babette than against her. Lord Glasgow's Conspiracy filly, bad as she is, was quite good enough to beat the Duke of Bedford's Pen sioner, on whom they laid sto 4. I am glad to see Lord Glasgow's luck, or judgment, or whatever it may be termed, has taken the right road at last. He has been, on the whole, the most unsuccessful racing man of the present generation, though a staunch and truly honourable supporter of, and an ornament to, the Turf. Vivandiere made all the running, and won the 10 soya. Sweepstakes over the D.M. by a short length; and afterwards changed hands for 60 soya. Only a head divided the second and third—Florence and Trinket. The 10 soya. Sweepstakes over the first half of the Ab. M. produced a very one-sided race, Golddust having it all her own way from end to end, and winning, with half a stone in hand at least, by a length and a half. Lady Vernon beat Convict nearly three lengths for second place. Kernel was a wretohed fourth, and the Treacherous filly last. A splendid race for the last half of the distance next came off in a match between Walnut and Gossip; Nor man on the former, despite all Butler's best efforts, get ting the Judge's fiat in his favour by a head. They laid odds on Gossip; and for the third time in one day, was the match-making Captain's judgment at fault. The speed of Poodle was well served in his match against Ilex ; the 7lb in favour of Ilex, however, brought the former to a length at the finish. The renowned Lapidist of other days, over his favour ite distance, was literally beaten off, and finished a bad fourth, and last to Conmore for the 10 sous. Stakes over the Criterion course; such things as Guy Mannering and Phlegra filling the places between him and the winner. Sic transit gloria mundi The stakes for to-morrow are all of the skeleton description, and, consequently, will not close and name till this evening. Two out of the three matches set down for to-morrow, will not produces races, as Diomedia receives four soya. forfeit from the Alkali colt, and Flutter receives forfeit from the Physalis filly. Constantine and Alamode are scratched for the Glas gow stakes; Peach for the 50 sous. Stakes on Thursday; sod the Lauorcost colt, Berengaria. St. Benedict, and the Alcanee colt, for the 300 soya. Stakes on Friday. THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF. Oct. 26. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET HOUGHTON MEETING. MONDAY.

Trousseau now went in front, attended by Gladiole, who challenged in side the cords, and defeated her by a neck ; Carbuncle, Henrietta, and Knight of the Garter well up. Run in 2 min. 9 sec.

SlR,—The approaching obsequies of the late great Captain, affords an opportunity of considering the gene ral question of intramural interment, and of an appro priate receptacle for commemorative monuments of our departed worthies. Will you then, give me leave to suggest, briefly, in ref erence to the first, that all the evils arising from the present practice of burying in our cities might be avoided, and all the proposed advantages of far-off cemetries might be secured, by raCaUS of a py ramid, for the reception of our dead. Such a plan w . interment was proposed some time since, and a company was projected for carrying it into effect ; but nothing in this way is yet accomplished. Architecture and che mistry might secure a resting place for the remains of our deceased, without shocking the feelings or endanger ing the health of the living. In other words, a proper ar rangement of cells, and the employment of peat-charcoal, or other substances, which would prevent the generation and escape of mephitic gases, would enable us to bury our dead amidst the living, and thereby avoid the coat and trouble of interment in distant places. In reference to the second question,—that of a suitable place for the monu ments of our warriors, statesmen, patriots, and poets, and other " great ( ?)" men,—might not the proposed pyramid be surrounded, at the base, with a gallery, or vallialla, for statues, tablets, and other monuments. Such a British Aristodemion would be fitter than our cathe drals, abbeys, and churches, for the display of comme• morative works of art. Subscriptions aro raised for the purpose of erecting a monument to the memory of the late Duke—the non of l)uty. What, if the money gathered for this purpose were applied, as a nucleus, to the construction of a py ramid, and a Hall of British Worthies? Such a Wel lington Testimonial would be worthy of the deceased, and would confer a benefit on the inhabitants of London. The city of London has shown an eagernl es to do all honour to the memory (or remains) of the illustrious soldier, by heading the funeral pageant from the gate of Temple Bar to St. Paul's Cathedral.

To-day, sales, as f ar as reported, 6,000 bales, and the market close s animated are and steady at our quotations below. " We find much irregularity in prices, various sales being reported below, and others agai n a b ove our quota lions; this is, however, a natural conse quence of the less strict classification which is now being used by many parties, and though we have reduced our quotations slightly, we would state that fora classification, ou c h as used four weeks ago, our outside figures would be too low. The demand is chiefly for the North and Great Britain; little has been done for France and Spain ; for Trieste, a vessel, of about 2,200 bales was taken by one party. The supplies are heavy, showing already an ex cess of 25,104 bales over the same period last year, but, as stated previously, the high state of the rivers will continue to keep our market abundantly supplied, as the high prices prevailing are an inducement for planters to hurry their crops to market. " With regard to quality, we find the finer descrip tions becoming extremely scarce, and very full prices are demanded and paid for the same; a good deal of low cotton is coming forward now, but such grades being also much inquired for, prices for the same are high; good middling to middling fair are comparatively the cheapest qualities. " The advices from the country state, that they had rains all along the river during this and the last week, and the weather is much complained of as promoting the destruction by rust, worm and shedding, and preventing planters from picking. From the Atlantic States , the accounts are contradictory, some representing the crops in a fine condition, others again as suffering materially from various causes.

ROMAN CATHOLIC "EDUCATIONAL" MOVEMENT. — A public meeting was held last evening at St. Bridget's Ro man Catholic Chapel, Baldwin's_gardens, Gray's-inn-lane, for the purpose of raising funds in support of education amongst the children of the poor, in accordance with the principles of Catholicism. The chair was taken by R. Swift, Esq., M.P. There was a large number of Roman Catholic priests on the platform, many of whom strenuously advocated the necessity of educating the children of the waking classes, so as to counteract, as much as possible, " the blasphemous and apostatising hyluence of Protestantism !" As may be expected from the locality, the meeting was densely crowded, and the speeches were mostly of an exciting vociferously applauded. Th e meeting did notcharacter, .and separate till a late hour. THE DUEL AT EGHAIII.--The following particulars of the duel may be relied up on.

It is feared, however, that a graver cause was connected with the unsteady appearance of the stock market. The banks of Now York city had been largely increasing their discounts for some time past , whil st contempo raneously, and notwithstanding the large imports of gold from California, the stock o f specie in their vaults had absolutely and in the aggregate diminished, as will be observed by the following, being the latest returns made up for the inspection of the State Comptroller, charged officially to see that the banking laws are not infringed.

He was confined to his bed for nearly eighteen months, suffering from the a cci d ent ; and notwi thstandi n g the best medical advice, every effort proved unsuccessful in healing the wound, and his health became so impaired that his life was despaired of. In this state he commenced using Holloway's Ointment and Pill 3, which had the effect of heal ing his wound with wonderful rapidity, and restoring him to woad health. LITERATURE. Annette : A Tale. 3 Vols. By William Frederick Deacon. With a Memoir of the Author, by the Hon. Sir T. N. Talfourd, D.C.L. Colburn and Company. A romance crowded with hair-breadth 'stapes, and diversified with the most brilliant traits of heroism, is this beautiful story of " Annette," in which an Eng lishman has celebrated the loyal and religious wars waged by the chieftains of La Vendee against the infi delity and the cruelty of the Revolution. As a posthu mous work, moreover, the narrative appeals yet more persuasively to our sympathies. Under no circum stances, we conceive, does criticism find itself so effectually disarmed as when required to decide the merits of an effusion coming to us, as it were, out of the grave (d'outre tombe), according to the solemn and melancholy thought of Chateaubriand. It is some what difficult, upon such occasions, for the reviewer to speak with anything like his accustomed calmness or precision, when he remembers that the heart whose emotions he is weighing in the balance of judg ment has become still for ever—that the hand whose latest traces are submitted to perusal is but dust—and that to " the dull, cold ear of death" the words of praise or of condemnation are alike become matters of supreme and everlasting indifference. "Annette" is among the number of fictions invested with this peculiar and pensive fascination. It possesses also a pathetic charm of its own, derived from the nature of the incidents recounted. It relates to the history of those famous struggles in the name of God and of loyalty which have consecrated the thickets of the Bacage, and shed a lustre over the marshes of the Marais. .Recognising, as we do, the justice and the glory of those great principles which first gave rise to the revolutionary movement of 1789 among the Parisians reverencing as we do that sublime hope of Liberty for France which may be said to have first become visible in the flames of the Bastile, as they andoubtedly first became audible through the voice of llirabeau—it is impossible for us at any moment to look otherwise than with the profoundest sympathy, and the most unaffected admiration, at the annals of that outbreak in La Vendee where the whita flag so long fluttered in defiance of the tricolour, and where the Royalist peasantry withstood, during so many months, the valour and ferocity of the Re pubticans. It were idle, in fact, to dream that the loyalty of the Vendeans could ever be denied the meed of that eulogium which it has extorted from the lips of' these historians even who have shown themselves most devoted to the cause of the Revolution. Everything, indeed, conspires to secure this feeling towards the Vendean insurgents. Their simplicity revolting a gainst the arrogance of the ultra-democrats—their love of the past inspiring them with a horror of in rovation—their piety rousing them in the defence of religion : it was only natural that they should have listened with eager delight to the rallying cry simul taneously raised by the ministers they viewed with reverence, and by the seigneurs whom they regarded with affection. It was under these auspices that the tocsin was sounded in La Vendee, early in the spring of 1793, in the first horror excited by the intelligence that the head of Louis XVI. had fallen under the axe of the guillotine. Although the war which there upon ensued throughout the Bocage and the Marais can scarcely be said to have lasted during the brief period of a single twelvemonth, there were accom plished within that memorable interval so many actions of daring and magnanimity, that the annalist can find but few popular outbreaks more remarkably illus trated by patriotism, by courage, and by generalship —by unselfish patriotism, by unfailing courage, and by untutored generalship. The narrative of all this has long since rendered glorious the name of many, until then, obscure villages in Anjou and Poitou — provinces now better known as the departments of Vendee, of Deux-Sevres, of Maine-et-Loire, and of Loire Inferieure. Within the country of La Ven du ys i si exe remember, t y B ms O uye O cem , ha o brO years ago, constitute h s t t eh i t ef u r n t o e un nt t h rh e ae number u e md m ub b s y e t r have h o u of er e t vh been enedn population.ean smaller. peas antry against the soldiers of the Jacobin Government, of o in ne uu m ns il e l g io u n eu F u r e en u c f hm th e e n. risi T ug his u , f to a o, fe l w et that it is estimated no less perished in the course of the subsequent struggle than the vast and terrible aggregate agricultural labourers a r me d w ith scy th es an d pitch forks ! The account of their achievements the world has already obtained through the authentic writings of Beauchamps and Lacretelle, through the military records of Jomini, and the picturesque memorial of Madame de Larochejaquelein. Even English students, the majority of them, are familiar with these narratives of glory and of suffering. They regard with the homage due to heroism the fame of those renowned and redoubtable leaders of La Vendee, who withstood with equal success the science of Kleber and the prowess of Westermann. What generous heart is there that has not throbbed with admiration for the young De Lescure ? of whom, although as brave as 1 a lion, it has been written " his humanity was ange lic." Who has forgotten the valiant D'Elbee ? who, although a Saxon peasant, rose to the rank of general issimo. Are we any of us dull to the skill of Cha rette, the naval lieutenant, like Esparrero " of a feeble and delicate constitution"—to the resolution of Stofflet, the daring Alsatian gamekeeper—to the genius or generosity of Bonchamps, whose audacity was only surpassed by his gentleness—to the perse verance of Marigny, and the vigilance of D'Auti champ, and the inflexible determination of Beaure paire ? Can we ever lose a remembrance of that warrior-peasant the good and valiant Cathelinean ? described by the author of '• Annette" as a wool dealer, but in reality a simple charioteer—that illus trious Cathelineau, whose piety was so pure and ele vated that he was known amongst his brother rustics as the Saint of Anjou, and who, although bred in the habits of an humble villager, was proclaimed unani mously by the haughtiest nobles of Vendee (on the outbreak of the war) the Commander• in-Chief of the Grand Army of the Royalists. Least of all, can we regard without the moat tender and the most generous group of heroes, with th e red sash, and the scarlet less —tiomnusstthehebrruaivue,fitghuerye,ouang, niid t s h t e u g ll en t t h le a , t th m e datcahulnet ss handkerchief about his bead, and his sword flaming at the gates of Thouars, and his cap thrown into the trenches at Sautnur—the brave, the young, the dauntless Henri de Larochejaquelein ! Henri, who gave that noble cry of battle to his soldiers, " If I advance, follow me ; if I retreat, kill me ; if I fall, avenge me !" Henri, of whom it has been written (Hist. .Eur., ch. xii.), "Notwithstanding his passion for danger, he was lull of sweetness and humanity." Henri, of whom another annalist has said with such touching suggestiveness (Genoude 47), "Chance has covered his tomb, as well as that of his brother Louis, with the flowers of Achilles." The hero of our boy hood, the palladin of Southern France, the gay and gallant De Larochejaquelein ! . . . It was a circumstance illustrative in a very curious manner of the extraordinary vicissitudes of that epoch that, in the wars of La VencWe while Biron, a peer of France and son of a Marshal, was, on one side, the leader of th e R e p u bli c an forces, the Royalist Seig neurs were marshalled under the banners of the pea sant Cathelineau. For Cathelineau was Commander in-Chief until his death on the Place d'Armes, during the unsuccessful storming of Nantes, when the rank was conferred upon D'Elbios ; and on the demise of D'ElEee the responsible authority of Generalissimo was awarded to Henri de Larochejaquelein. A feeling of breathless interest carries the reader on while perusing the history of the civil war in the Bocage un interruptedly from its propitious commencement to its melancholy and disastrous consummation. How rapid were the alternations of fortune during those eight months of 1793 may be seen by a glance at the re cords of the Revolution. On the 4th of May the Re publicans were defeated at Thouare, and on the sth of May the Royalists were in their turn defeated at Fontenay. On the 6th of May, however, the latter place witnessed the return of triumph to the white banner of the Bourbons; and later on (10th June) the tricolour was again obliged to yield to the valour of the Seigneurs, at Saumur. Upon the 29th of June the Royalists were worsted in their attack upon Nantes; while on the 13th of August, at Luton, the Republicans were again victorious. Septem ber, nevertheless, brought success back with it to the Vendeans, who were triumphant on the 15th of that month at Coron, on the 19th at Torfou, and on the 20th at Montaigu. Yet they were overcome for a while on the 17th of October, at Chollet, where D'Elb6e and Bonchamp were both mortally wounded. At Chateau-Gontier, on the 25th of October, they were, nevertheless, once more enabled to route the troops of their antagonists —shortly after which, the gentle and valorous De Lescure, breathed his last, in the arms of his bride at Fougeres. At Granville, on the 14th of November the Reyalista were again con quered, but on the 19th of November, at Ponterson they were again victorious. Antrain, on the 20th of November, was, however, the scene of their last success, for they were compelled to yield to the numerical superiority of the Republicans, on the 30th of No vember at Angers, on the 10th of Decernberlat Man s , and e i de were qu the struggle,March, d b , u t t o he b r e oi tdn c h deaththeir of Hnr unfortunate proud beads on beingthe 2 a 2tS length of D eccluesmedber on theat Sl4atvhenuaty before the ghastly and terrible ven g eance of the Re vot.utionists. It was then that the world was horri fied by a serie s of atrocities, sur p assin g even those of Marat and Ro bes p ierre. I t was then that the pea santryLaro 1794, chj on a the el e compelled, n u p e e l 'Thereupon; e noyades of Nantes drowned the "suspected" by whole sale. It was then that Thurreau devastated the pro vinoe with his Infernal Columns, and that Carrier destroyed the children by his Republican Baptisms, and the old men, and the young men, and the virgins, and even mothers on the eve of their confinement, by his hideous device called Republican Marriages. And thus was it that in Nantes alone, there perished within a few weeks, no less than 18,000 souls by the river, by the bullet, and by the guillotine. And so Liberty wag desecrated, and the Demons of the Aorolutiou were triumphant, and the Royalist Chieftains were shot, and stabbed, and hurried away, and their very names for a while—but only for a while—forgotten. It has not surprised us, therefore, to find a scholar of generous sympathies, lik e the author of "An nette," selecting the scenes and the times of the Great Civil War in La Vendee, as those of a romance re lating to the French Revolution. Several of the principal personages . engaged i n th ose events are in troduced in tine course of the narrative—their fortunes being ingeniously interwoven with those of the merely fictitious characters. The r esu lt o f the com bination is, as might he conjectured, a s t ory i n many respects eminently attractive. It introduces us once more to Cathelineau, to De Lescure, to Stofflet to Charette, to Bonchamps, to D'Elbee, and to Larochejaquelein—not to the empty names, b e it observed, but to the very men . themsel ves . Annette, of course, as the title-page sufficiently inti mates, is the heroine : an amiable though rather colourless creation—the daughter of Delille, a mer chant of Nantes. Delille himself is, to our thinking, the blemish of the book, being in truth a man so painfully weak and timid as to become in the end ab solutely contemptible. The author has adroitly selected as the hero of the tale—Alphonse, the son of one no less distinguished among the Vendeau Chiefs, than the brave old Marquis de Chatillon. Around Alphonse the interest of the fiction is woven from first to last, so that we are enabled to follow his foot steps continuously, down to the conclusion. The beginning of the work is little else than what may be termed a mere episode, serving the writer's purpose doubtless well enough, by making the reader acquainted with the villain of the plot, the unprinci pled De Chantereau. The real interest of the story only commences with the arrival of Alphonse in Paris, where, in connection with the worldly-minded Count de Sevrac, he becomes engaged in various state intrigues, and at last takes part in the memo rable flight of the Royal Family from the Tuileries. Nothing can be more ingeniously contrived than the incidents at this portion of the narrative—the hero being introduced by his tutor Servette, into the drawing-rooms of Madame Roland, where he familiar izes himself with the manners and appearances of revolutionists as renowned as Barbarroux and Brissot, and Robespierre. Immediately after the return of Louis XVI. and Marie Antoinette from Varennes the horrors of the epoch thicken, and Alphonse ulti mately becomes involved as one of the defenders of the palace in that terrible storming of the Tuileries, which ended in the slaughter of the Swiss soldiers. De Chatillon is soon afterwards seized in his lodgings and dragged off to the Bicetre, where he is incarcerated among the number of the " suspected " as an aristo crat. Here the anxiety in his fate attains its climax, for the reader finds himself arrived at the very eve of the dreadful and ever-infamous Massacres of Septem ber. Alphonse appears doomed to irretrievable de struction : for as the critical night draws on, there enters his dungeon—the vindictive and relentless De Chantereau. Death seems to be closing in upon him, and we leave the hero surrounded by murderers, and horrified by the din and the yells of assassination. There is one ray of hope glimmering, however, through the darkness—dimly and timorously. Jacques the half well-natured, and half rascally ex-valet of De Sevrac has joined the party of the Jacobins, and been installed as under jailor of the Bigetre. He de termines, if possible, to save the life of the friend of his former master, the ill-starred and helpless De Chatillon. Jacques communicates with Servette and informs the old man of the perilous position of Alphonse. Whereupon the Republican dreamer rises from reverie to action, and resolves, " come what come may," that he will dare even a forlorn hope of intercession. After a vain application to Ro land, he ventures, late at night, to carry his petition into the presence of the dreaded Minister of Justice himself—to Danton, the author and organizer of the Massacres of September ! Servette's appeal to the great and terrible democrat is one of the finest pas sages in the three volumes, rising in the end to a burst of eloquent and impassioned adjuration. Of this, however, we will let our readers judge for them selves. The supplicant has employed every argument he could contrive by way of entreaty, but each has proved in succession utterly and agonizingly fruit less. Pathos has been treated with contempt, and solemn warnings as to the future with derision. In the last distracting sense of disappointment, Ser vette, and even Danton, are startled by the clanging of a distant bell in the midnight. It is the tocsin ! " Well may the fierce demagogue have started, for that gloomy bell, which flung its awful voice far and wide over the trembling capital, tolled the knell of not leas than six thousand of his victims! " Almighty God!' exclaimed Servette, every muse!• quivering with agitation,' can it be possible? Only one hour?' and sinking on his knees before the Minister of Justice, who stood buried in gloomy thought, the old man thus addressed him, his eyes streaming the while with tears: Oh, Danton, if I cannot prevail upon you to spare all the wretched victims of this dreadful policy, at least let me, once more, conjure you to spare one whom I know to be as innocent as he is dauntless and high-hearted. Consider his youth, and the grey hairs of his sorrowing father! You are brave, be generous —you aro great, show true greatness by tempering justice with mercy. Men say that you are a fond and nappy father, and that your infant child is to you as a second self; think then, what you would feel, wore you, when that child had grown up to man's estate, to plead for his dear life to some future Minister of Justice, and be met with the same chilling reply that you have this day given me! Oh, think what it is wanton:y to extinguish that holy spirit of life which the Almighty gave, and which you cannot restore! Lo, here in the dust at your feet, I conjure you to be true to yourself—true to your farce— true to that just and sacred cause of which you are the triumphant advocate! You speak not! Eternal God!' —and the old man clasped his hands together, and raised his eyes to heaven—' Eternal God, grant me power to touch the heart of this cold, haughty man, who, when he might' descend to after ages as the benefactor of his fellow-creatures, can endure to be branded as their scourge. Still silent? Well, then'—and the speaker i started abruptly to his feet—' since the voice of conscience and humanity finds no echo within your breast; since blood must flow, no matter from whom, spare Alphonse, and take me as your vic tim! Better, far better that the old should go than the young; no one will miss the helpless, solitary man, whose lamp of life is already well nigh extinguished; besides, were it not so, I have lived long enough, since I have lived to see this day.' " The old man poured forth these supplications with such impassioned energy, and in tones of such heartfelt anguish, that Danton, who had made many efforts to stop him, at length desisted from the unavailing task. Servette's solemn appeal to the Deity he acknowledged only by a smile of scornful incredulity; he was visibly affected, however, when he was reminded of his infant boy, to whom he was devotedly attached; but when the old man offered his own lite in exohange for his friend's, the heroic generosity of the offer struck Denton so powerfully, that the tears actually stood in his eyes! The rock was smitten, and the living waters came gush ing from it. Citizen,' exclaimed the stern demagogue, dashing away the moisture from his lids, ' your prayer is granted! The chosen friend of so magnanimous a spirit can never be the base, treacherous conspirator I had imagined. No, I see I was mistaken, and it is right that I make reparation. But, remember, I do this as an act of mere justice, not of pity,' and advancing to the table, he sat down and wrote with an unsteady hand an order for Alphonse's release, to the jailer of the Bieetre. Away, he added, thrusting the document into Servette's hands, ' lose not a moment, or you may be too late. Not a word—no thanks—you owe nothing to my compassion —away, away I' and he pushed him towards the door. " No sooner was he gone, than Denton resumed his seat at the table, and in a few minutes had regained much of his usual stoical hardihood." Alphonse de Chatillon is saved—snatched as it were while the bloody weapons of death are already drip ping before his eyes, from the grasp of the assassins. Soon afterwards he escapes from Paris in the disguise of a sans curlotte, and upon joining his father, forth with takes part, with the rest of the chiefs, in the Loyalist insurrection. Hereupon it is that the author reveals the most clearly his skill as an historical novelist. His description of the somewhat compli cated movements of the campaign, his delineation of the contrasting temperaments of the different leaders, and especially his account of the various battles and sieges, are all of them admirable for their vigour and perspicuity. In one particular alone—but that a ra ther important one—we conceive him to have been labouring under some strange and inexplicable kind of misapprehension. We mean in his appreciation, or perhaps we should say in his want of appreciation, of the character of Henri de Larochejaquelein. Henri he has failed to estimate accurately, as he had already failed to estimate aright Louis XVl.—a king as good in his life as he was great in his death. Henri, we take it, was no mere flippant, thoughtless, volatile, dallier with the chivalrous, any more than Louis was a mere gluttonous, fickle, suspicious , craven imbecile. Henri was as gentle as be was da rin g , and as resolute as he was impassioned. Louis , again, wasfriodrgivavlii n an g i generous, and humane, virtuo us as a man, a benignant as a prince, resigned under misfortune andbl. e t h in e in prosperity, grand in captivity, and su hour of his execution. Alphonse de Chatillon, how ever, might have been altogether overshadowed had not the writer endeavoured thus to render subordinate to him in some measure the heroic character of Hen r i de Larochejaquelein. Therefore, possibly, do we find ea that the justice of t he historian has yielded overmuch to the exigencies of the romaneist. passages in .. relationto ss t a h g i e s interesting One - of the l portion of st objectionable the narrative i s the tolloa ing—a passage for inasmuch as it contains a description of the young Vendean Chevalier : "De Larochejaquel ein was of a more imp e t uous and mercurial temperament ; so enthudastic that he seemed such a encou raged sal e to love dB g — Ilibernice—f or s he W as impatient of all counsels except a p n e d es s i o b. i i n . invariably sanguine as his military ardour; scarcely to believe in the of reverses. His figure was tall and elegant • he had lY light hair. and an oval ccuntenanoe, wh ia o s se a e d e a n s " h o u r was rathc r Er gush than French; and there w as inasmuch as he us of eccentricity in his cos tume,ua y wore several red handker chiefs—one on his head, another about his neck, a n d three or four round his waist, holding his pistols." As a companion picture to this, we may transcribe the subjoined sketch of the aspect and character of Charette : " He was slight in figure and of middle height, with a small hut brilliant and penetrating eye, a nose turned up in the Tartar fashion, and a mouth remarkable for its shape and width. His nature was stern and obstinate ; he had none of that lofty and generous pa triotism which glowed in the bosoms of the majority of the Seigneurs ; but was too much influenced by a desire for personal aggrandisement, which seemed to be his ruling principle of action. In manner he was cold, re served, and dictatorial, and in carrying on his military operations he was reckless of human lite, and was apt to wink at the excesses of his troops after a victory; more over, he was a rigid martinet, and was never known to forgive or forget any act of disobedience." Further particulars as to this plot of "Annette" need scarcely be enumerated, seeing that the tale follows truthfully enough the moving. records of history ; besides which, it were scarcely fair to the narrator to deprive his effusion, by a bold epitome, of its pro minent and most acceptable fascination• It may be permitted us, howbeit, to mention one incident as among the most enthrallin g in the development of the story—that of the escape of Annette and her father from a sequestered auberge, under the guidance and guardianship of Alphonse, where the three wayfarers seem at one moment to be infallibly fated to assassination. This occurs when the Delilles are proceeding to the sea-coast in order to find shelter by flight into England. Thither Alphonse ultimately follows the refugees, when disasters having settled down upon La Vendee, the young De Chatillon Is entrusted by his brother-chieftains with the task o f applying for assistance to the British Government. Prior to his return to the Marais in company with Lord Moira's expedition, Alphonse is happily married to Annette; and when the last gloomy occurrences of the Royalist movement have been recounted, and when the civil war is seen to have closed for a time in blood and calamity, the hero and the heroine, as bride and bridegroom, are revealed to us at length in the tardy enjoyment of something like happiness and tranquillity. "All's well that end's well," saith even the divine Shakspere, and so rest we contented. One other extract must we indulge ourselves with before concluding our reference to the narrative—it is one descriptive of the death of our hero, the death of the youthful and dauntless Henri de Larochejaquelein : " With some difficulty Henri, at times, restrained his soldiery from giving way to a natural desire for ven geance when some stragglers from the republican army occasionally fell into their hands. On one occasion Larochejaquelein came upon a party of his men as their muskets were turned upon two grenadiers, who, sepa. rated from their companions, had entered the forest. Full of horror at an act which, to his chivalrous soul, appeared a murder, Henri interposed; signing to his men to desist, he advanced alone towards the soldiers, exclaiming " Surrender, I give you quarter!' " Perhaps incredulous of the existence of a magna nimity of which their own actions never bore a token, the soldiers, for all reply, raised their guns and fired with fatal effect. Henri fell, as his friends and soldiers gathered round him, and the arms of Alphonse tenderly sustained the dying hero. Human help was ♦ain. Only a few moments of life remained to Henri Larocheja quelein! They were passed in acts of devotion and tender adieus to his comrades in arms; and taking the hand of Alphonse within his own : Farewell, my early friend,' he murmured in low, faint accents, together we have fought and suffered. You alone, may God grant it 1 will live to see the vic tory for which we have signed. But not now, Alphonse. It is only a protracted death-struggle, which can be carried on here. Heed my last injunctions—withdraw yourself, for a time, till the fury of the storm is over; and then, when a brighter day is dawning for France—. come back and fight and conquer; and in your hour of victory remember Henri—' Exhausted with so much exertion, the dying youth paused, and then again re covering himself, added, as ho saw the tears coursing down the cheeks of Alphonse: Do not grieve for me, Alphonse; I could not have lived away from La Vendie, while my arm could wield a sword: sooner or later the blow must have come to me. All our friends fallen around us. But you may yet be spared —a future is before you. The house of Chatillon may again be num bered among the pillars of the throne. Obey my last wish, Alphonse, and live for France as I—l thank God, according to my repeated prayer —die for her.' A few more words of tenderness and resignation, and that gentle heart had ceased to beat, that chivalrous spirit. which in a brief existence of only twenty years had given so many proofs of gallantry and heroism, bad fled. Henri de Larochejaquelein was no more. Sadly, with broken hearts and tearful eyes, his followers consigned their chieftain to the grave, in his soldier's accoutre ments; and as they heaped up the earth upon his lest resting place: " indeed,' said Alphonse, the Convention may say that Ls Vendee no longer exists.'" And so, indeed, ended that memorable struggle of the Royalists against the Democrats—the struggle of a chivalrous peasantry against the overwhelming might of the Revolution. We have left ourselves but small space for reference to one of the most interesting portions of the work lying before us, and one to which as yet we have made no allusion—the graceful prefatory memoir of the author, penned by his schoolfellow, Mr. Justice Talfourd. Neither is much comment required, we conjecture, upon a biographical tribute which for years hence will be turned to with satisfaction not merely by those who knew the writer of " Annette," but by those also who can appreciate the poet of ''lon" and the commemorator of " Elia." Sir Thomas Tal fourd has afforded us one other evidence of his large and generous heart in that tribute to the memory of his friend, William Frederick Deacon [a name men- tioned once more not without emotion in these columns of The Sun, which his hand, up to the period of his decease, so often adorned by his criticisms]---a tribute in which the biographer has deservedly cele brated the merits of a scholar as well as those of an amiable and accomplished gentleman. THE LORD-LIEUT ENANCY OF HEREFORDSHIRE...-. Much gpculation is afloat throughout this county as to the probable successor to the late lamented Earl Somers in the Lord-Lieutenancy. Lord Rodney, Lord Bate man, and the present Earl Somers are all spoken of as likely ; but as the last-named nobleman supported Li beral principles at the last election, it is not ♦ery likely that Lord Derby will pass by two of his supporters to appoint an opponent. —Hereford Times. hum EMIGRATION.—The report of the Colonial Laud and Emigration Commission has shown that the total emigration from the United Kingdom for the year 1851, in those parts alone in which Government agents are stationed, exceeded 335,996, of whom 257,372 were from Ireland; and that if the emigration of the succeeding months of the year 1852 does not diminish from that of the four earlier months, it will have exceeded 500,000, of whom we may take 350,000 at least as the proportion of the emigration from Ireland alone. TUE WILL OF THE LATE MR. NEmn.--The will of this gentleman, which has excited so much curiosity, is now in Doctors' Commons. It is written by the de ceased himself, in a clear bold round hand, and only occupies the front of a sheet of foolscap. The will begins by saying that he, James Camden Neild, of Lincoln's-inn and Chelsea, in the county of Middlesex, wished his body to be interred in Battersea Church, and in a vault as near as may be to his beloved father, James Neild. Ho bequeathed to his executors 1004 each, and directed them to pay all his just debts (which were very trifling), and thereafter he gave and be queathed all " real and personal property to which I may be entitled at law or in equity, unto her most gracious Majesty Queen Victoria, for her own private use] and advantage, and her heirs, executors, and as signees." And he expresses a hope that her hiajesq will be pleased to accept the same. He appoints as his executors, the Hon. the keeper for the time being of her Majesty's privy purse, the very Rev. Henry Tattoo, Archdeacon of Bedford, and James Stephens, Esq., of tvcililliagdem_ed.odgneen-eStu:geema hies.Femnd6: residing the county of Kent. The will is attested by Charles Shadwell, of Gray's-inn, and George Tattoo, his clerk. The will was proved on the 2151 inst. by the Hon. Charles Bowman Phipps, keeper of her Majesty's privy purse, the Archdeacon of Bedford. and Mr. Stephens, Y' t that the executors appointed under it, and the estate sworn to as under 250,0001.

IRISH PROPRIETORS.—Th 6 number of proprietors in fee in Ireland has been calculated not to exceed 8,000, some of whom individually possessed more than 100,000 acres. Between the years 1841 and 1850, it is asserted that emigration and deaths have swept away more than two-thirds of the entire holdings under five acres, a quarter of a million of small farms have disappeared, and 50,000 farms, of from 5 to 15 acres, have also gone, while an increase of 103,944 has, in the same period of time, taken place in farms of upwards of 30 acres, and a further increase of 66,042 mcderate farms of from 15 to 30 acres. In 0110 s ingle year, from 1849 to 1850, the , net increase in farm in g stock was to a value of 11,250,0004 GERMANY. The Postanipt Gazette of Frankfort of the 22d says :—" Several journals have announced that the Austrian government had purchased some of the ves sels of the German fleet. This account is unfounded, at least for the present. Neither is it correct that the Germanic Diet has had a sitting within the last few days; there was merely a confidential meeting of the envoys to the Diet. Baron de Brenner-Felsach, di rector of the Federal Chancellery, has returned from his visit to Vienna. Couut de Thun Hohenstein, president of the Germanic Diet, is not expected here until towards the end of next week." The Vienna Journal of the 21st announces that Baron Stockhausen delivered his letters of credence as Hanoverian Ambassador to the Emperor on the 18th. On the following day his Majesty granted an audience to the Marquis de Marcel, the Brazilian Ambassador. It is currently rumoured at Vienna that his Imperial Majesty intends laying down the command in chief of the army, in order to attend more exclusively to the affairs of Government. The Archduke Albert is spoken of as his probable succes :-or in the chief command, and is to be raised to the dignity of field-marshal on this occasion. ITALY. The Genoese journal, Italia e Popolo, states that preparations are being made at the Vatican which appear to indicate the approaching journey of the Pope to Paris. On the 19th there was a funereal military parade at Milan in honour of the memory of the late Duke of Wellington. A. Turin letter having stated that great excitement had been caused at Turin by the rumour of a discus sion of an unfriendly character said to have taken place between Marquis d'Azeglio and M. His de 13utenval, the French Minister to the Sardinian Court, on the subject of a French refugee named M. Pastore', on which occasion Marquis d'Azeglio was represented as having sent back two of M. His de 13utenval's notes unanswered, the Slide quotes a letter of the 31st, from its correspondent at Turin, which indeed confirms the fact of two notes having been most unaccountably sent back unanswered to M. His de Butenval, but at the same time states that the French Minister and M. d'Azeglio have discussed the matter between themselves, and that it is not likely to lead to any misunderstanding. As for another rumour to the effect that France and England had jointly demanded the introduction of certain modifications in the organic laws of Piedmont, the correspondent states that the French Minister has 11 itly denied ever having started such a subject; and that the British Minister had not only repelled such assertions with indignation, as totally unfounded and contrary to his own sentiments as well as to the policy of his Government, but had even had an explanation :with M. d'Azeglio on the subject, in which he ex pressed his dissatisfaction at the part attributed to him. These explanations have appeased the general appre hensions entertained by the public on the subject of the durability of the Piedmontese Constitution, but have, according to the correspondent, placed M. cl'Az Thu in such an equivocal light, that his resigna tion is considered more than probable. The Augsburg Gazette contains the following ab stract of the Pope's allocution in the secret consistory of the 27th ult., which has not been officially pub li,hed. The Holy Father deplores from the bottom of his heart the vehement attacks directed against the church militant in most parts of Europe, but derives some consolation from the thought that a copious and certain spiritual harvest is promised beyond the At -1 intic. The Church must, he says, strenuously op pose the agitation brooding in the bosom of the Ca tholic Church in France, Germany, and England. His Holiness trusts that the impending desertion of many believers in Piedmont will eventually redound to the glory of the true faith. The expressions used towards England seem to exclude the possibility of an encyclic letter being direct e d aga i ns t c l er i ca l ag itation in the British dominions. Nevertheless, the correspondent who has furnished the above abstract, s tates upon his own knowledge, that not long after the secret consistory of the 27th ult., a member of the permanent congregation of cardinals drew up a moni tory epistle, the contents of which, though not con uived under an official form, were intended to calm the agitation by exhortations addressed to the Irish clergy, to yield to the times, however perverse. TURKEY. A letter from Constantinople, of the 10th, states that the French Ambassador was that flay to receive official rejection of the loan. The Sultan has declined giving d. de Lavalette an audience on the subject. The new loan was going on successfully. Sir H. Ward, Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Islands, had left the Turkish capital for Corfu, after a few days' stay ; and Mr. Cumberbatch, Eng lish consul-general in Constantinople, had also left for England, on leave of absence. The Journal de Con stantinople asserts that the new ministry will follow the reforming system of Rechid Pacha, which was inaugurated on the accession of the present Sultan, and which, it says, can alone secure the regeneration of Turkey. Mouktar Bey was about to proceed to Alex andria, on a mission from the Government. It was stated in the last accounts from Constantinople, that the plague had broken out on the frontiers of Persia ; but the Board of Health of Constantinople has de clared that the malady which prevails there is not the plague, hut the cholera. On the Bch, four hundred merchant vessels had, owing to a favourable wind, entered the port, and the Bosphorus. Such an extra ordinary number of vessels caused some confusion, and one of them, an English one, which had not per formed its quarantine, having thus violated the sani tary regulations, the Board of Health had placed the city of Constantinople and its environs under a qua rantine of five days.

Mariano Yanez, for the opening, qualifying, and de -1 ciding on the proposals for the privilege of the open ' ing of the communication across the isthmus of Tehuantepec. D.
