To augment the safety of the service, and although a far greater speed presents no danger, the company has fixed provisionally the speed of the trains at from 2S to 32 kilometres (7 to 8 leagues) an hour. The railed way on which the accident of Fampoux took place had been disarranged to a small extent by the effect of the accident; it was immediately repaired with the greatest care, and the public service has been re-established. Thus the mistake which was committed in departing from Arras, and which some journals comment upon with a marked ex aggeration, was without peril. The followi ng wer e the facts :—The train had passed over this line of rails for a dis tance of from 600 to 800 metres only, when the engineer per • ceived the mistake, and put back. The head of the Arras station had set off at the same moment on the other line of rails, with a reserve locomotive, to inform him of it. At all events, the first superintendent would have stopped the train before it could have passed the first kilometre.' The Courrier Francais of Thursday republishes this official defence, and appends to it the following observations:— "We insert this letter without comment. To whom is it necessary for us to demonstrate that it proves absolutly no thing against :the precise and positive assertion which we have made respecting the bad construction of the road, the bad organisation of the service, and the numerous accidents by which the public has been thrown into a state of conster nation ? The Ministry and company are at issue, and their respective agents and engineers affirm that neither have anything to reproach themselves with ! Who can they hope to convince by such testimony? For ourselves,we have said much, we have said all that could be said, on both the company and the Ministry ;—it is useless for us to add that we maintain our assertions. We give little importance to the denegations of the Cabinet or to those of M. de Roths child? We wait with confidence the result of the in quest, being but too certain that our convictions will be confirmed.' Since the terrific catastrophe of the Bth of July on the Northern Railroad, there has been scarcely a single French line on which accidents have not occurred. On Wednesday night one on the trains on the Paris and Rouen line was nearly burned. A lamp which lighted the mail-wa ggon e havingwine w h g i o eh t iotuteenotefineodrdefll on the table,r, the spirit s o f and set fire to some papers laid upon it. The clerk of the post-office, after vainly endea vouring to extinguish the fire, opened the window and called for aid, but his voice not being heard and the flames increasing, he leaped out of the waggon and broke his leg. The train, however, soon after wards stopped, and the fire easily extinguished. A letter from Port-au-Prince, of the 17th June, announces the settlement of the differences between France and Hayti, and the return of the French Consul to Port-au-Prince on the 16th of June, where he was received with a salute from the fortifications, and with enthusiasm by the people. The following is an extract from the letter : " This great and difficult question is now terminated. The negotiators, who have at length settled the affair, have been engaged in it for a long time, and have found it exceedin g ly difficult. The propositions made on the part of the Govern ment by the President were twice rejecter'. The English Consul, Mr. Usher, and the Vice-Consul, have been very active in settling the question, and the final settlement is in a great measure owing to them. The conditions upon which the affair is arranged are, first, an indemnity of 5,000 gourdes for the injury done to M. Dubrac ; second, in demnity for damages done to other French subjects; third, the Government of Hayti to write a letter, asking the French Consul to resume his functions; and, fourth, a salute of twenty-one guns to the Consul on entering the port, and the French frigate Thetis to return the salute." The Algiers papers of the 17th represent the country as completely tranquillised. M. SALVANDY, accompanied by Marshal BUGEAUD, had returned to Algiers highly delighted by the reception he had met with in the Provinces. The Paris Bourse was much firmer on Thursday than it had been for some days previously. This may be in some measure referred to the circumstance that rumours, which had been in circulation on Tuesday respecting a respectable banking-house, were ascer tained on Thursday to be totally devoid of foundation.

The Britannia steam-ship arrived at Boston on Saturday, the,4th of July, at eight o'clock in the morning. By late advices • from the' 'HaVanhah, the Mexican steamers were to proceed to England, and were making preparations for that purpose. The news by this arrival confirms that previously received as.to the revolution in the south of Mexico.. A revolution had broken out in, the department of Jahsco, on the Pacific, in which are situated the towns of Guadalaxara and Tepic. The re volution commenced on the morning of the 20th May, in the city of Guadalaxara. The battalion of Loges, followed by other bodies of military and by the popu lace, attacked the palace of the Governor. The assault of the insurgents was so prompt that the guard had only time to make one discharge. WESTMINSTER-BRIDGE.—We understand that this bridge sank on Wednesday considerably.

McGladstorte, during the time that he presided over the Board of Trade, gave orders that " this very useful publication," as he' justly termed it, should be regularly taken in for the use of the Board; and every mer chant should follow this example. A counting-house can no more be said to be completely furnished without Burn's Commercial Glance, than an attorney's would be without the Law Almanac. Sir Robert Peel, Lord John Russell, and Mr. Goulburn, have each borne testimony to the merits of this very " useful," " excellent," and " valuable" document. HOCHELAGA ; or England in the New World.

During the last week or two, the weather in the Midland counties has been all that is desirable for forwarding the ripening crops, and harvesting operations are progressing; a large breadth of fine white and red wheat has already been cut and stacked in Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, and Notts, and the remark is general that finer and heavier crops have not been gathered for some years; generally the wheat is light in straw, vet plump and full in ear, and perfectly free from blight. The recent light rains and misty scudding showers have contributed much benefit to the ripening crops ; here and there, it is true, the ill effects of partial storms are shown in patches of beaten down corn, and though the ripen ing of plots will thus be retarded, no substantial injury will result if the weather continues warm and dry for the next three or four weeks. The good influence of the weather and the prospects of an abundant harvest, are foreshadowed in the great reduction that has been and is taking place in the market price of corn in the present week. At the weekly market at Newark, held yesterday, the 22d instant, a reduc tion of ss. per quarter on the figure of last week was sub mitted to on wheat, and the tendency of prices of agricultural produce is decidedly downward. THE ACCIDENT ON THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY.—DEATH OP ONE OF THE SuFFictEßs._lt is our painful duty to announce the death of one of the suf ferers through the frightful accident which occurred on the Eastern Counties Railway on Saturday last. Our readers will remember that in the list of injured passengers was men tioned, not by name, a gentleman living at Victoria Villas, Dalston, who was said to have sustained a concussion of the brain. This gentleman died on Friday morning about half past nine o'clock, at his residence in one of the named villas. villas. His name was Mr. Hind, principal in the firm of Hi n d an d S on , s ilk f r i nge manufacturers, in pal Cheapside, and well known and highly respected throughout the London and Coventry silk trade. Mr. Hind's principal injuries were in the abdominal region, where, through the r. Aston position i n w hi c h t h e f ragmen t s o f the broken carriages fell upon him, he was d rea df u lly crus hed. He was attended by lr. Bransby Cooper and M Key, in addition to Mr. Toulmin, of Hackney, who paid him the most unremitting attention to the l as t. B u t th e injuries he had r eceiv ed were beyond the reach o f me di ca l sc i e nce and surg i ca l skill , and nothing being practicable but to allevia te his sufferin g s with anodynes, he linge re d i n grea t pain till on Fri l ay morning, when he was released by death. THE Moons AND RlVERS.—lnverness already begins to wear the aspect of preparation for the 12th of August, by numbers of sportsmen arriving and depar tin g dail y , en route to shooting quarters. Those especially who add to moorland sport the more solitary, but no less exciting, sport of angling, are all fast on their way to the rivers, which are now in prime order, and with weather of alternate clouds and sun shine, such as tempts the salmon to dash at the feathered and barbed hook. On the Beauly, Mr. Perceval has taken a number of salmon of late. Mr. Jones, at Rosehall, has been very successful. Dr. Cumming and A.

By a majority of eighty-three, in a House of merely one hundred and fifty-nine, Lord G. BENTINCK'S Amendment, that the continuance of the existing duties upon sugar be for eleven months instead of one, was on Friday evening defeated. Although the discussion which arose out of that amendment was superficially insignificant, we may nevertheless derive such deductions from the tone in which it was con ducted as are in the highest degree acceptable, and not in the very lowest degree significant. There was a brevity of opposition and a quietude of expression about the Noble Lord the Member for Lynn, and a feeige reflex of those characteristics about his abettor, Sir ROBERT H. INGLIS, which induce us to antici pate an agreeable moderation in the attitude to be assumed by the Protectionists. Hitherto they have been manceuvering in a blaze of intense light or in a gloom of unnatural shadow ; they have revelled, as it were, in a species of Parlia mentary chiaroscuro—their distortions have been only the more apparent from the exaggerated lustre of their diction ; their deformities have only been more manifest from the meretricious decorations by which they were bedizened. Now, however, we are gratified to observe among them in dications that they are becoming conscious of their blunder, and that they henceforth purpose to speak in moderation, to asperse in moderation, and to protest in moderation. Such are evidently the intentions of their principal leaders; and although those intentions may be occasionally frustrated by the enthusiasm of some fanatical cadet, we shall cordially anticipate their fulfilment until we observe a total alteration in their tactics. On Monday evening the question will be defini tively submitted to the consideration of our legis lators, and when we reflect upon the impossibility of maintaining the present system of differential duties longer in operation, the rapid approach of that critical moment cannot but afford an universal satisfaction. Not only are the con sumers of sugar anxious for a speedy and per manent settlement of the question, but even those most interested in the prosperity of our colonial possessions, the importers and the merchants them selves, are equally desirous of such a settlement of the matter. They feel that some alteration of the importation duties must take place, and they long to know what that alteration will be. It is preposterous for Lord GEORGE BENTINCY to haggle about the produce of a mere segment of our colonies, and to insist upon settling whether 60,000, or 46,000 tons are imported from the Mauritius ; the great fact is—and there is no gainsaying it—that the cultivators of our colonial sugar-cane are unable to satisfy the demands of the mother country, that the annual importation of sugar has been gradually de creasing since 1840! Since that year the individual consumption of sugar throughout the kingdom has dimi nished nearly twenty-four per cent. Such facts there is no means of vanquishing. The Protectionists perceive this ; they also perceive their own false position as cavilling debaters, and they are therefore affording us every token of a more subdued behaviour in future. ‘Ve may consequently anticipate no very pro tracted discussions upon the sugar question, but may look for a rational and satisfactory close of the pre sent session somewhere towards the termination of August. And while we may congratulate Parlia ment upon the arrival of this periodical hiatus of re laxation, we may in solemn truth congratulate the country upon the character of the great session which will then have been brought to a happy conclusion. What has commenced with the attainment of one ex traordinary commercial boon promises to close with the realisation of another. We have already ob tained a free access to the most necessary and the most nutritious article of food in creation ; we have every prospect of receiving every facility for the purchase of another, neither so necessary nor so nu tritious as corn, we will grant, but which is nevertheless, in our artificial state of society, abso lutely requisite to ensure the comfort and the sobriety of the poorer classes. With no sugar to sweeten his tea, or to render his coffee palatable, is there not a lure to the labouring man in the well flavoured beverages of the beer-shop and the gin palace ? An easier access to this single article of consumption would, we are most fully persuaded, promote to no inconsiderable extent the temperance of our industrial population. Hence it is that we are anxious to perceive a reduction in the duties upon tobacco, since that sober means of excitement forms a beneficent substitute for the intoxicating effects of beer, brandy, and other fermented liquors. By such a reduction in tobacco, not only might the morals of the community be improved, but the revenue likewise he materially benefited. It is in these apparently trivial modifications of our import duties that the sagacity of a wise Government frequently consists. The reduction of a few shillings per hundredweight in a given article tends not unfrequently to elevate the moral condition of a whole nation. The obliteration of a cipher may sometimes advance civilisation by half a century. Such are the simple solutions of some of the most ab struse problems of legislation ! Such are the minute strings which move the colossal machinery of an empire ! night moved for a S e l ec t Mr. DUNCOMBE on Friday Committee, to inquire into the charges contained in the petition of EDWARD BAKER, late a warden of the Millbank Penitentiary, in which situation he had con= tinned from the month of September, 1842, until April, 1846. The petitioner preferred serious complaints against the Governor of that prison, alleging that great abuses existed both in the management of affairs, and as regarded cruelty and oppression towards the prisoners. It will be recol lected that Sir PETER LAURIE, some time since, pub lished a pamphlet under the singular, but expressive, title of " Killing no Murder," in which the results of the system adopted in that prison as to the in sanity, deaths, or pardons on medical grounds, of the prisoners, and also the state and condition of the convicts who have been removed to the hulks after undergoing the discipline sanctioned therein, is fully set forth and commented on. The worthy Alderman ascribes the frightful consequences to the " separate system," which he asserts to be injurious to the minds of the prisoners, dangerous to their bodily health, demoralising in its effects, and burdensome to the country from its great cost. If any of the above are really the consequences of the system, it is high time that it should be abolished, and that some better and more humane plan should be adopted in its place. The extraordinary data on which his argument is founded cannot be controverted, for they are taken from statistical details contained in the reports of the Inspectors of Prisons ; and from the very large proportion of the cases of insanity, so much greater than that which is found to occur in other prisons, and also from the extraordinary number of suicides and attempted suicides, which were mentioned by Mr. DUNCOMBE on Friday, it is perfectly manifest that there is a screw loose somewhere, that there is something either in the system itself, or in the mode of its administration, which requires a strict investigation and an immediate remedy. We,therefore, regret the decision of the House in refusing the Committee asked for. We cannot accede to the argument urged, that to appoint a Committee of the House would be at once to condemn the Governor. We know nothing of Captain GROVES, and we award him that which is the privilege of every Englishman—viz., that he is to be supposed innocent until his guilt is proved, and in proportion to the weight and magnitude of the give c reden ce c b re e d ear enc ri e ea to to th th e e charges, so much the greater should i be our reluct tahniese sta ex te te m nt en o ts f ; re b f u us t in su g re a l l y l is n ot investigation until full and ample proof be given. If this was the case the labours of such a Committee might well be dispensed with, the condemnation would be contained in its appointment, and the House would, like the inexorable Rhadamanthus, first punish and then inquire into the complaints. We do not go the length of saying that the House ought, on every trivial charge, to subject the accused to the trouble and annoyance of entering into his defence; but when there is a degree of probability, a verisimili tude, in the charges, when they are brought forward by a man of unimpeached character, who, from his situation, has opportunities of know ing their truth, and when such a person pledges himself to prove their accuracy before a Committee, we think that a sufficient ground at least is laid for a full inquiry and investigation, the granting of which could not be supposed to militate in any degree against the person or persons charged. And such an inquiry must be far more satis factory to all parties, if conducted before a tribunal which cannot be suspected of any partiality, and the proceedings of which are open to the public, than any private investigation by prison inspectors, no matter how respectable they may be, more particu larly when it is alleged that those inspectors are in a certain degree under the influence of the party against whom the accusations are made. No charge whatever has been made against the character or motives of the petitioner; he held for more than three years and a half a responsible office in the prison, which he alleges that he was obliged to resign in consequence of the oppressive and tyrannical conduct of the Governor towards officers and prisoners. The charges are plain and distinct, and, if well-founded, must be perfectly ca pable of proof. We should think that Captain GROVES would himself be most anxious for a full in vestigation ; for, until such takes place, the public mind cannot be satisfied on the subject ; if by a pos sibility those charges should be established, the person who could act in such a manner must be held quite incompetent and unfit for the discharge of duties requiring the greatest degree of discretion and judgment. The decision of the House appears to have been greatly influenced by the promise of the Home Secretary, that a full inquiry should take place without delay, and his statement that he was prepared to lay the report of the Inspectors of Prisons, which contained a distinct answer to each of the sixteen charges, on the table. The matter, therefore, is not yet concluded, and on the result of the promised investigation being made known, and the report of the Inspectors published, it will be competetent to any Honourable Member again to call the attention of the House to the sub ject. From the advanced period of the session, and the delay which must necessarily occur before such an investigation can take place, it will be impossible for the matter to be brought to a conclusion until next year, and the public mind, during that period, will be kept in suspense on the subject. From the Roman States the news continues to be of the most cheering description. The new POPE is occupying himself in introducing reforms and im provements into every department of his administra. tion. He is daily signing orders for the liberation of political prisoners. The following official announce ment on the subject of railroads was published on the 14th in the Privileged Gazette of Bologna by Cardinal VANNICELLI CASONI, the Legate who had just returned from Rome :—" Amongst the im portant affairs that have engaged the attention of the Holy Father since his accession to the Pontifical throne is the construotion of railroads in the Papal States, for which several projects have been presented. Pius IX. being desirous of acting with prudence in this serious affair, which is of the highest interest to his beloved subjects, has resolved. to-appoint a. corn-; mission to examine these projects. His Holiness has consequently ordered, that if there are other propo sitions to make they shall be sent to the Secretary of State for the Interior, who will receive and collect them together, waiting the ulterior decision of his Holiness." Prince HENRY, of Prussia, uncle to the present KING, died at Rome on the 11th. The greatest excitement had been occasioned in Kiel, by the publication of the decree of the King of DENMARK, on the subject of the succession to the Duchies of Schleswig and Holstein. The students had met and proposed to burn the obnoxious decree. This proposition, however, was not carried into effect, but Professor CHRISTIANSEN, the representative of the University, was directed to solemnly protest , against the decree in the name of the German people, and to defend their rights. The Post Ampt Gazette of Frankfort has the fol lowing from Posen, dated the 15th :—" It is reported here that the Emperor of RUSSIA intends to grant an amnesty to all the Poles still remaining in Siberia, who were sent there for the part that they took in the revolution of 1830. M. KOURNAOFFSKI, who was arrested and put in prison at Sonnenburg, just after the last insurrection of Posen, for publishing a revo lutionary lithogtaphic print, has attempted to commit suicide by stabbing himself in four places, but he is expected to recover." Madrid papers of the 18th have arrived. The Heraldo, in an article on the subject of the QUEEN'S • marriage, proposes that Don FRANCISCO D'Assls, the eldest son of Don FRANCISCO DI PAULA as a candidate for her MAJESTY'S hand, in preference to his brother, Don ENRIQUE. Don FRANCISCO, it appears, has been specially invited to the royal banquet to be given in honour of the birth-day of the QUEEN-MOTHER. The Liberal party con sider that the object of the QUEEN-MOTHER, in thus apparently favouring Don FRANCISCO is to ex cite a jealousy between him and Don ENRIQUE, and to create dissensions in the Liberal party by starting two candidates. :While Dcn FRANCISCO, however, is thus ostensibly put forward as a candidate for the QUEEN'S hand, an intrigue is, it is said, going on in Paris under the auspices of MARTINEZ DE LA ROSA to bring about speedily, but quietly, a marriage be tween the QUEEN and the Duke of GENOA, the second son of the King of SARDINIA. It is true that of late his Sardinian Majesty has exhibited slightly liberal tendencies, or to speak more correctly, has had something like a personal quarrel with Austria, and is endeavouring to rally an anti-Austrian party around him, but the base treachery of the Prince DE CARIGNAN of 1821 has never been forgotten or forgiven, and an alliance with his son would justly disgust the whole Spanish nation. The Trapani alliance seems to be completely given up, Prince DE CARINI, who had been sent as Ambassador from Naples to Spain for the purpose of forwarding the views of Count TRAPANI, has been recalled, and M. ANTONINI, late the Neapolitan Am bassador at Vienna, has been accredited to the Court of Madrid. MADRID BoLsA, JULY 18.—The Three per Cents were done at 34} for cash ; the Five per Cents., at 21; the Debt without Interest, at 61; the shares of the Bank of San Fernando, at 390; and those of Isabel, at 203. We have received the Paris papers of Thursday. The Moniteur Parisien of Wednesday publishes the following as the official defence of the Northern Railroad Company, against the attacks of the papers : "The Courrier Francais persits in affirming that an acci dent happened on the 12th, on the Northern Railroad, and that, in consequence of a land-slip, an engine and six car riages went off the rails. The Company affirms that, since the unfortunate event of the Bth, no engine, no carriage has run off the rails. From the 9th the working of the road has presented none but simple incidents, unavoidable by the best regulated services, and which have not occasioned any misfortune. On the 11th, a piston of the engine, No. 42 (a new engine), broke, and the bouchos used in clean ing the boiler came off, and the water and steam escaped. This occurred at the Arras station. The passengers may have been frightened, but they did not run the slightest risk. On the 12th, a regulator got out of order between Mon tigny and Somain, on the line between Valenciennes and Douai. The only result was a trifling delay. The statement of the land-slip on the 12th is as incorrect as that of the sinking of the ground to which the accident of the Sth has been attributed. Since the Northern Railroad has been opened there has not been any land-slip, nor even any indica tion of it in the causeways to give any evidence of such slips. The railway was not given up to the company by the Go vernment until after the two chief engineers, who had the direction of its construction, had declared by a report under their signatures that it was ready for public use. The re port for the first section, from Paris to Amiens, is signed by M. Onfroy de Breville; the report for the second section, from Amiens to the Belgian frontier, is signed by M. Busche. Independently of the watching, and the ordinary superinten dence of the road, the company, from the time of its open ing, has specially appointed to the keeping up of the road a number of cantonniers, much exceeding the usual propor tion. Besides the superintendents and watchmen, there have been stationed three or four workmen for every kilo metre (quarter of a league) according to the nature of the ground, whether embankments or cuttings. These are pre. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS (From The Sun ot Saturday Evening.) The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was firm, sale 6,000 bales. Shares were quiet. The usual weekly return from the Bank of England, gives the following result, as compared with the previous state ment : A decrease in the circulation of 126,4551, or to 29,139,9051. An increase in the Rest of 21,5971., 3r to 3,504,1381. A decrease in the Public Deposits to 3,162,6961., or of 326,7201. A decrease in " other securities " of 761,3291., or to 15,328,3971. A decrease in the stock of bullion of 92,469/., or to 15,770,1974 The subscriptions for the relief of the sufferers by the late firs at St. John's, Newfoundland, are proceeding satisfacto rily. Among the names received this morning by the Com mittee is that of Lord Stanley. At Liverpool, and other principal places largely connected with trade and commerce, the lists have been pretty well filled. Still, however, much remains to be done to meet the pressing demands of the unfortunate individuals who have lost their all by the fire.

It is difficult to assign a cause for such a , proceeding.

OF GONZ AGA, DUKE OF MANTUA. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) In the midst of the moral and intellectual enervation which has overcome the political world, and has caused all heads to bend before the power of Might, it is a consoling spectacle to behold a man, illustrious equally by birth and qualities, opposing himself with the noble daring of Right, alone against all, yo contra todos ; in the face of astonished Europe demanding compensation for the evils caused by revolutions to one of the most distinguished families of princes—the illustrious house of the Gonzagas ; and addressing to all personages of influence and power protestations drawn up in the most emphatic terms, and exclaiming with resolute voice, " I am the only and legitimate heir of all the glory, of all the misfor fortunes, and of all the rights of the sovereign house of Gonzaga, which heretofore ruled over Mantua, Castiglione, and Guastalla. My ancestors reigned in the East—at Jerusalem. The royal houses of Eu rope anxiously sought alliance with the Gonzagas, and my ancestresses have been seated on the greatest thrones of the world. Unnumbered times our blood has flowed for the defence of Chrirtianity, and even in fighting for Austria, who seems to-day willing to contest my rights, in spite of the loyalty with which we have hitherto sustained her power. And what has been the recompense of so much devotion and of so many combats ? My family has seen itself un justly spoiled of its legitimate possessions; all our services have been forgotten, and our faults illegally judged, in the person of the Duke of Mantua, my ancestor, punished without reason and without mercy. Advantage was taken of my father's minority and of mine to effect our ruin and spoliation in the I treaties of Vienna and of Paris, neither has my per son been spared ; Divine protection alone has pre served me from the snares prepared for me ; but I despise alike menaces and dangers, and while a spark of life remains to me, I will not cease protesting in the face of heaven and earth against the un worthy spoliations of which I am the vic tim, and demanding my reinstation in my hereditary principalities; my cause is the cause of all sovereigns, its justice cannot be called in question; my rights are neither obscure nor doubtful, and I ought to rely upon the assistance of the great Powers and the influence of all lovers of equity." Such is the purport of all the protestations of his Highness the Prince of Gonzaga. His perseverance and his courage entitle him to sympathy, and deserve a speedy triumph. It is to be hoped that the great Powers who signed the treaties of Paris and Vienna will at length give earnest attention to demands so worthy of their regard, and thus afford a striking example of their respect for legitimate rights. All crowned heads are more or less interested in repair ing a so great, though perhaps involuntary, injustice ; and surely political probity is a more solid base for thrones than either ingratitude or indifference ! The following protestation has been recently issued by the Prince, and appropriately issued at the present time, in consequence of an attempt lately made at Paris to deprive him of his family papers : " We, Alexander 1., of Gonzaga, by the grace of God, Prince of Castiglione (delle Stiviere), of the Roman Empire and of Bozzolo ; Duke of Mantua, of Guastalla, of Solferino and of Sabbionetta; Marquis of Medola, and of Luzzara, &c., &c.; descendant of the Emperor Charlemagne and of Lothaire 1., Em peror of the East and King of Italy, &c. ; Grand Master of the Order of Redemption and of Devotion, &c., &c., " To all Kings, Princes, and Potentates, " Declare, publicly, that our legitimate protesta tions against the treaties of Vienna, in 1815, having been, by the most iniquitous means, rendered un availing, and we ourselves prevented from passing the Austrian frontiers, excepting once in 1836, by the per mission of Prince Metternich, we believe it necessary, to maintain our undoubted rights, before God and man, by a SOLEMN PROTESTATION against all that has been done to our prejudice relative to our duchies of Mantua, Guastalla, Castiglione, and Solferino, &c., as heir in direct line of those territories, by virtue of the Salic law established during seven' centuries in our sovereign house of Gonzaga, and by the di plome of the Emperor Sigismond, dated Sept 22, 1433, confirming our ancestor, Jean-Francois de Gonzaga, a perpetuite for him and his male descendants, in all branches, in the titles and privileges of sovereign, Margrave of Mantua, and Prince of the Roman empire,' as long as there should exist a Gonzaga upon the earth. " 1. By this present declaration we formally retract all concessions offered to the article of the treaty of Ratisbon, concerning our sovereign duchy of Mantua, in our protestation of October 12, 1841, addressed to Prince Metternieh, Minister of his Majesty Ferdi nand I. Emperor of Austria. In consequence of a profound examination of all the deeds and treaties (vide notammant art. 31 of the treaty of Radstadt, in 1714, and art. 2 of the preliminaries of the treaty of Vienna, November 18, 1738), an intimate knowledge of the acts of our predecessor the Prince of Gonzaga, Duke of. Guastalla, until his death in 1746. and the testimony of impartial historians upon the illegality of the sentence pronounced against the last Duke of Mantua, by a tribunal acknowledged incompetent to judge him in his quality of Prince of the empire, and before which he was neither cited nor heard, having died at Padua, poisoned. "2. We protest in like manner, and we declare null and void, all that was done prejudicial to our in terests during onr minority in 1815 and 1817, and during the minority of our father Prince Joseph Louis de Gonzaga, in 1722, by the secret and odious compact, which disposed of our direct hereditary possessions of Castiglione, Solferino, and Medola, moyennant an annual pension of 10,000 florins and which was signed by the Empress Maria The resa and our cousin Prince Luigi de Gonzaga Cas tiglione, who died in 1819. " 3. We declare that Prince Luigi had no right whatever, to give up these territories, under no con ditions, in the absence and during the minority of the true heirs, neither had he any title to act without their consent, the marriage of his grandfather having been declared invalid, and he being aware that the lineal descendant of his ancestor, Prince Ferdinand VI. of Gonzaga, Prince of Castiglione, existed in Spain in the person of our father, Prince Joseph Louis, then a minor, of the age of eleven years, and chief of the family of Gonzaga Mantoue Castiglione, and that, in consequence, the concurrence of the col. lateral branch of Gonzaga di Vescovado in the ar rangement concluded with the Empress was illegal, " 4. We formally demand compensation for those acts by which, in the treaties of Vienna in 1815, the great powers disposed of our Duchy of Guastalla, without the consent of our family, and more particu• larly of our father, the next heir of the Prince of Gonzaga, Duke of Guastalla, who died without chil- dren. " 5. We recommend to the consideration of the Powers, who, with the exception of Austria, have acted, we are convinced, in ignorance of these startling facts, the reparation of the injuries that have been done to us, and the restitution of Guastalla in our favour, in accordance with the privilege which they reserved to themselves (article 99 of the treaty of June 9, 1815). "6. The confederated potentates cannot, in effect, sanction either the monstrous usurpation of Mantua, Castiglione, and Guastalla, which is not countenanced by the rights of nations or of conquest; or the aliena tion of our family from those duchies where we had reigned during seven centuries, without establishing, by such an infraction of the rights of minors, a pre cedent dangerous to their interests, and entirely op posed to the monarchical principles which rule the destinies of Europe, and which in its consequences may become fatal to their kingdoms and their heirs. " 7. We renew the declaration contained in our protestation addressed to Prince Metternich, October 12th, 1841, dated from Baden-Baden, relative to the person who, by order of the Austrian Government, in the month of September, 1836, counterfeited our signature to a paper declaring our intention not again to enter Austria or our possessions in Italy. We protest that we have never either seen or read this paper, and that we could not have affixed our signature to such an act at a time when family affairs rendered our presence at Vienna abso lutely necessary ; and also we have affirmed this fact, when in the p ower o f an arme d f o rce at Trieste, in 1839, in the apartment of the Governor of th a t town, the Count de Stadion, commissioned by or d er of Prince M e tt ern i c h t o obtain from us this renuncia tion of our Italian rights. " B.With extreme indignation we protest against the ignoble attempt, recently made at Paris by the agents of a French Administration, at the instigation of the Austrian Government, to carry off our fainily docu ments and title-deeds, November 27th, 1845, after a residence of eight years in Fra nce ; an d although by a providential hazard, our most i mportant original papers remain in security, we rely upon the aid of the great Powers to take some measure which may put an end to such unworthy ac t s . O ur ru i n an d our spoliation have bee n e ff ec t e d b y treat i es, profiting of the minority of our grandfather, of our father, and of ourselves; OUR CAUSE, we proclaim it boldy, is THE CAUSE OF ALL SOVEREIGNS " 9. Finally, we peremptorily demand the invalida tion of the treaties of 1815 and 1817, in !b far as they regard our estates ; and in waiting for our re storation to our territories, an INDEMNITY conform able to our birth, and to our close alliance i n n with al most all the sovereign families reigning n Europe. " This protestation is signed by us, and sealed with our family arms. " London, June 21, 1846. " ALEXANDER, (L.S.) Prince de Gonzaga-Castiglione, Duke of iliantua." COURT CIRCULAR.
