ED ~. _____ i.- . • iT kit ibeening LONDON, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1848. the question at issue between the directors of the Bank of England and a large and influential body of the proprietors of Bank Stock has, for the time being, been decided in favour of the former by a majority of fifteen votes only, the numbers being 138 in favour of a dividend of 3i per cent., as recommended by the directors, whilie 123 persons.supported the proposition that 4? 2 - per cent. should be paid to the stock holders. If the immense influence of the Board be taken into consideration, and the fact that the contact practically resolved itself into a question of confidence or no confidence in the body, who (it was rumoured) threatened to resign en masse if the determination 4t which they had unanimously arrived, was rescinded by an adverse majority, th e only thing surprising in the result is that the dissen tients should have flocked so readily to the balllot and carried on the contest with such vigour and energy as to render tie result for some time doubtful. An anxiety on the part of the directors practically to increase the amount of capital at their disposal by successive additions to the " rest," has for some time been perceptible. There has been a gradual accumula tion going on. Special circumstances at one period might exist to render it dellrable that extraordinary re sources should be retained within the power of the Bank to enable them:to encounter without difficulty any exigency that might arise. This would be a sufficient justification for a smaller dMdend on a par ticular occasion, than the actual profits of the con cern during the preceding half-year would have jus tified. The proprietors were always ready to re spond to any such appeal, and willingly per mitted that, which in justice should have been divided amongst them to remain, in the coffers of the Bank on the tacit understanding, however, that it should be distributed when the emergency had passed away, and matters had re sumed their ordinary course. The Board of Management, however, evinced the greatest disincli nation to part with any portion of the capital thus acquired, and strongly objected to pay any amount of money in the shape of dividends which had not been earned during the half-year immediately pre ceding. This would have been very proper if the fund out of which it was asked for was not altogether composed of the fair and legitimate earnings of the establishment, or if it in any degree encroached upon the capital which had been appropriated , for the carrying on of the concern. But when this was not only not the case, but when there was an amount more than sufficient to provide for oily contingency that might reasonably be taken into calculation, surely it cannot for a moment be asserted that such a deduction from realized profits i could be regarded in any manner as a pay ment of interest out of capital, as asserted by some of tho.p - who advocated the views and sup ported the recommendations of the directors. This feeling at length reached to such an extent that marks of dissatisfaction became apparent, and the proprietors generally were appealed to against any further additions to the red. The advocates of a full and fair division of the profits, by which justice would be done to annuitants and o th er p ar ti es h av i ng li m i te d i nteres t s in Bank St oc k , conceded that a sum should be retained, sufficiently large to meet any probable loss that might occur, without in any degree trenching upon the original capital. But they con tended that 3,000,0001. sterling was amply sufficient for that pupose, and that any i mportant addition th er eto was a virtual robbery o f t h e parties imme 'L atelyingested in the fund for the benefit of those entitled to the reversion. Accordingly, it was re solved in the beginning of 1847, that a bonus of one • per cent should he paid, in addition t o t h e amount of dividend recommended by the Board. This was, after some discussion, acceded to, an d at the two following meetings in September, 1847, and March, 1848, a similar amount was voted, el though the commercial panic that had produced such ruinous results to the community had occurred during the literval. The high rate of interest recommended by the well-known letter of the 23d October last had indeed produced profits that would have allowed a still larger dividend, but there were circumstances that rendered it desirable for the Bank to stand in a TILE SUN, position of unusual firmness. The proprietors, therefore, refrained from pressing the directors on that occasion, and the result is that the latter now desire to maintain the rest at the high amount, to keep those extra profits as additional capital for the benefit of posterity. We cannot suppose that the proprietors will acquiesce in this arrangement. If the directors should persevere obstinately in their de termination, the ballot that was taken on Wednesday will probably prove but the first of a series of con tests in which the Board must ultimately be de feated. AP GIOBERTI has published a manifesto —through England —to Christendom. The historian, the orator, the statesman of Italy—he now evidences the fundamental principle upon which all these characters are erected, we mean his profound and even desperate patriotism. The friend of Pm NONO —he is the principal adviser of the King of SAR DINIA. A priest—he is no less a politician. Peter the Hermit preached war against the Islamites— GIOBERTI preaches war against the Austrians : the one was for the recovery of the holy sepulchre, the other is for the recovery of Italian independence ; the one concentrates all his energies upon Rome — the :other upon Jerusalem. They are both sincere, they are both august, they are both holy,—they are Crusades, the Crusades of Religion and Liberty, of Fatherland and Palestine, of nationality and revela tion. In another column of this day's impression will be found a translation of the dignified appeal addressed to the people of England by the eloquent President of the Italian Confedera• tion. As the effusion of such a mind, the document would he interesting if only as a li terary composition, but the present crisis of con tinental events does not afford us leisure to loiter over the elegancies of the rhetorician, or to weigh the I graceful phrases of an accomplished and poetic orator—thoughts, more stern than scholastic, crowd upon our heart, and quicken its throbs of emotion, when we bear the lusty tones of the patriot priest sounding across Europe, from Turin to London, and proclaiming, as with the voice of a clarion or the sound of a trumpet, that Italy is at bay, and that the fall of German authority south of the Carpathian mountains is doomed by the will of many millions of united Italians. It is impossible to read the address of GIOBERTI without recognising the great fact that Italy is at last resolved at all costs to conquer her freedom. There is an indescribable evidence of desperation in every syllable. The jaws of Young Italy are clenched—his hand grasps the hilt of his sword with convulsive energy—one foot is planted rocklike upon the ground, the other is advanced—the whole atti tude has in it the presentiment of vengeance, ren dered more terrible by the tokens of an unnatural self-possession. There is more majesty in the pre• sent posture of the Roman peninsula, as ex pressed by the burning words of GIOBERTI, than has been assumed by that country for many past centuries. Hitherto she has suffered and groaned. Until now she has never dared to rise up by one grand effort, and shake off the grinding yoke of her tormentors. And when sympathising pilgrims from the capital of Gaul, or from the more distant cities of the Ultima Thule of Britain have paused in the midst of the desolation of the Campania, or have gazed over the ruins strewn around the base of the hill of Aventine, they have alike lamented the passive woes of a race whose an. cestors had ruled the world in purple and diadem. It was with these feelings that ADDISON visited the palaces of the Medici, and saw those works of art which had emanated from the patronage of Lonsiszo the Magnificent, decaying into relics in the halls and galleries of Florence. It was a sentiment of the same kind which touched the cold heart and gorgeous ima gination of GIBBON. It was the same feeling which inspired the enthusiastic sorrow of BYRON, when he apostrophised the Eternal City as " the Niobe of Nations !" But a piercing and vitalizing breath has passed over the Italian Peninsala—it has stolen into the ears of the multitude and called them to arms and to liberty—it has penetrated into their hearts, and taught them not only courage but endurance— it has heated their blood, and roused them once for all, for life and for death. In order to comprehend in one glance the extraordinary change which has occurred throughout Italy it is only necessary to examine the remarkable address of GIODERTZ to the Britons. In the fervour of that address you can hear the pulsation of the patriotism, of the hopes, of the daring, of the determination of the country. In reading that address, you are placing your hand upon the heart of Italy ; and the beating of that heart tells you that. Italy can never again be conquered, that the power of Austria below the Tyrol is no more, that RADETZILY may have gained a battle, but that he has not terminated a campaign, that CHARLES ALBERT may be discom fitted, but is not vanquished, and that the thought of any compromise between the contending parties, under the joint mediation of France and England, is henceforth and for ever an impossibility. When GIOBERTI appeals against the misapprehen sion of the Italian war, which he supposes to be regarded with horror by the majority of Englishmen, he labours under a remarkable misapprehension of the real opinions entertained in this country. We do not hesitate to aver, no matter what may be the language of an illustrious orator in the Upper House of Parliament, and no matter what may be the terms employed by a few of our more distinguished con temporaries, that the feelings of England are alto gether with the Italians, and that the ultimate eman cipation of the Peninsula is yearned for most ardently not merely by ourselves, but by hundreds of thousands within the boundaries of the United Kingdom. When, however, GIOBERTI merges from his allusions to the opinions of England into a con sideration of the resolution burning within the hearts of the Italians; when he utters his malediction upon whomsoever shall impede the course of events, or attempt to drown the spirit of patriotism in the chaos of dissension (Makdetto colui the piu tentasse disgiungerne I)—when he de clares that the resolve of Italy is taken beyond recall, and that she will " do or die "—he rises to his natural elevation, and, while expressing the thoughts of his country, enhances his own glory as a Patriot and an Orator. Considering that the negotiations for peace are still pending between the Plenipotentiaries of Turin, Paris, Vienna, and London, the manifesto of VINCENZO GIOBERTI is an event of supreme im portance. (PROM A CORRESPONDENT.) [Although our own view of the dignity of the course adopted by the Prince Louts NAPOLEON in returning to France, and taking his seat in the Na tional Assembly, as one of the representatives of the people, is diametrically opposed to that entertained by our correspondent, we, nevertheless, find so much generosity of sentiment in his remarks upon this occurrence that we readily afford room for the ex pression of his opinions.] Citizen Louis NAPOLEON BONAPARTE has done his best to efface any disagreeable souvenirs, and to dispel any unpleasant apprehensions, excited by one Prince NAPOLEON Louis. The new representative of Yonne took his seat in the National Assembly in a manner remarkable only for the absence of any thing remarkable. Having been declared a Member of the Assembly, he demanded permission to speak, and a hundred voices at once exclaimed "To the tribune l to the tribue I" BONAPARTE ascended the tribune, and addressing the Assembly, he firmly and deliberately declared his adhesion to the Republic. He pledged himself to labour for the maintenance of tranquillity "that first necessity of the country," and for the development of the democratic institutions, which (says the quondam " Emperor") the people have the right to demand. After pledging himself to the mainte nance of the Republic, the Representative for Yonne returned to his seat, and is now, to all intents and purposes, a Member of the National Assembly. fly admitting the Priace—but " the Prince" is an un fitting epithet for the citizen representative—by ad mitting the heir of the Bonapartes to his seat in the Legislative Chamber, the Government have, as:it is already manifest, acted wisely and well. Citizen BONAPART E in Paris is harmless, the exiled Prince was a constant cause of apprehension, a beacon to the disaffected,and a terror to the peacefully disposed. Now, by his happy admission into the Assembly, Louis BONAPARTE is free to do good to his countrymen and is incapacitated from i c Faring them. For once in his life the quondam P rince has seen his cue, and acted in accordance with circumstances. He has wisely eschewed all_ external symptoms of rejoicing, he has saved himself from his " friends," by literally tearing himself from a group of servile courtiers in London, and by hiding himself from his noisy adu lators in Paris. Alone and incognito he repaired to France, and almost unaccompanied he took his seat in the Assembly. In Paris and in the Assembly he has been regarded with curiosity, and received with respect and nothing more. No shouts of " Vive l'Empereur !" greeted him on his way. If, in his heart of hearts, the " citizen " cherished " some yet Imperial hope," that hope must by this time be considerably abated, if not wholly destroyed. Yet such hopes are peculiarly tenacious of vitality ; too often they only cease to exist with the breath that nourishes them. Perhaps, while he was chilled by the silence and the manifest republicanism of the Parisians, NAPOLEON LOUTS consoled himself by reflecting upon the proverbial fickleness of the crowd. Perhaps he called to mind the cries of " Vive l'Empereur !" for ever associated with his childhood—perhaps he thought upon the cries of " Vive le Roi !" which were shouted round the bathing carriage which conveyed him a prisoner to the Chateau of Boulogne, and contrasting them with the present evidences of republicanism, drew some hopeful augury from such demonstrations of inconstancy. If he did so, however, he has again deluded himself with dreams. Fickle as may be the popular will, it is not generally disposed to relinquish the substance for the.shadow. The people of France have now within, or almost within, their grasp the substantial rights and privi leges, which they will not be very ready to barter for the shadowy glories with which an Imperial Court might invest them. The teaching of the past, the necessities of the present, and the hopes of futurity, all cry aloud to Prince NAPOLEON to abandon every Imperial hope. At this solemn moment the words of his uncle may recur to him, where, in answer to the accusation that he bad usurped the crown, he said, " The people themselves placed the crown upon my head— Qu'on respecte ses odes !" Louts NAPOLEON may profitably think upon this now the people themselves have established a Republic, and selected him as one of its supporting pillars ; let him respect that choice. Now in this, her hour of political transformation, France has need of the service of every head and hand and heart among her sons, and Bo- NAPARTE may rejoice that he is not shut out from the glorious labour, but that he is called upon to co-operate in the regeneration of his country. His service will be doubly welcome and twice blest, for he comes with a worthy offering in his hand—the sacrifice of his youthful dreams and his personal and family ambition. He comes, let us hope—for then alone will he come worthily, then indeed will he come triumphantly—repeating the glo • rious words of ALPLIONiE DE LAMARTINE—" Let our properties, our reputations, our very individualities themselves, be ground down and pulverised in the movement of human affairs, so that the Constitu tional Republic be founded, so that the people be aggrandised in knowledge, in morality, in rights, and in happiness ! Such is the only justice which I demand from my generation and from my country." THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. In the National Assembly, the amendment in favour of two Chambers, proposed by M. DUYBRGIER DE HAURANNE, in Article 20 of the Constitution, was negatived by a majority of 241. The numbers being, for the amendment, 289; against it, 530. The ad vocates of a second Chamber, hoping that they might have better success in a new Assembly, pro posed, by way of amendment, that Article 20 should be voted only provisionally. This gave rise to a very animated discussion. Ultimately the debate was postponed to the following day. The following is a reapne of the speeches of MM. Lamartine and Odillon Barrot, on the question of one or of two Chambers : M. de Lamartino said that he came forward to op pose the amendment now. under discussion. He did so, however, with the utmost respect for the opinions brought .forward in its favour. He had most maturely considered the subject, and he had come to the conclu sion that really good laws could enable two Chambers to be tolerated ; but he considered that a single one was better calculated to suit the character of the French nation. "I, too," said the .Lion. Representative, "it I was ascending the tribune four years later, in place of at present ; if I was to speak when the Republic, in stead of being a new matter, had become for the country a habit—in the absence of all emotion from abroad, of all agitation, of every circumstance that calls impe riously for the strength and unity of the Govern ment—perhaps I, also, would not be opposed to two Chambers. The great truth to be insisted ou at this conjuncture is the word of Plutarch, that good laws are the daughters of time ;' but, for the Constitution, we can wait for the course of time to show where it is strong or weak; we must decide at once, according to our judgment." It was necessary, he said, to make the Constitution not a mere word, but a great fact, to guide the people. In England and the United States two Chambers were established, but under very different cases from the position of France. In England, the House of Lords existed, because there were immense aristocratical interests to be defended. The Com mons had, by degrees ' -established itself in opposi tion to that power, and was constantly gaining ground against it. In America the case was different ; there, no aristocratical interests were to be defended, and in consequence, the Senate was a decided imperfection, a defect—(llear, hear)—such as pre vented the Republic from reaching that point of perfec tion which it might have arrived at, and which he hoped to see France at present attain to.—(Hear, hear.) The lion. Gentleman then argued that the aristocratical feel ing had been destroyed in France, and that consequently a second Chamber would be inopportune and powerless —for this reason, that the country would look with an eye of suspicion on whatever appeared to it calculated to found an aristocracy of any sort whatever. To establish a second Chamber was undoubtedly to set one body of men above the rest, and France would not permit such a result. He argued that from 1789 the nobility and its power had gradually declined, and that at present uni versal suffrage had been established. A second Chamber, to which ideas of superiority would always be attached, would be dangerous and out of place. He warned the Assembly to pause when the democratic feel ing was increasing, not only in France, but all over Europe and not attempt to check its progress by the establishment of a second Chamber. Two Chambers would, no doubt, he said, look well in an historical picture, but they were decidedly opposed to the idea of the sovereignty of the people. It was surely time to do away with these fictions of the olden time, as being no longer suited to the present time. Tho Honourable Representative then referred to the objec tion brough forward by the advocates of two Chambers, viz., that collisions must arise between the President and the Assembly, if only one existed. The President, he said, was not to be established in a kind of royalty, but with limited powers, and without power to dissolve the Assembly. Far from such division being likely to occur when there was but one Chamber, ho thought the probability much greater under two. Was the President to decide on any measure with one Chamber oriwith the other, or with both together ? As he was not to possess the power of dissolving them, they could certainly oppose him better when two in number than when one. Ha looked on it as certain that it was with two Chambers that collisions were more likely to occur. But how was the second Chamber to be elected ? In what category was it to be placed I How was it to escape being either first or second ? Supposing that the intelligence arising from age and experience was to cause a certain number of men to be chosen for the Upper Chamber—suppose that white hairs were to place a man in the higher rank—would not the second Chamber be left without men of necessary information and knowledge of business ? This would be the case, when to such men as Royer-Collard and Franklin would be said, " Begone, leave these benches, and go and place yourselves amongst the old men in the Chamber at the Luxembourg I"—(Hear, hear.) Thus the Assembly of the people, properly so called, would by degrees fall into disrepute, and be, as it were, absorbed and annihilated by the other ; or, should that not occur, they would be rivals. The lion. Representative then drew a sketch of the spread of democratic ideas in France, and concluded by declaring the existence of one Chamber to be alone suited to the present state of France, as alike removed from a divided Government and a dictatorship.—(Applause.) The sitting was then suspended for a few minutes. M. 0. Barrot said that it sometimes occurred, that in a discussion a speaker suddenly came on a truth which told against his own opinion. This is what had occurred to M. de Lamartine; and as he had said, the whole question was whether a dictatorship was or was not to be erected!--(Hear.) That Hon. Gentleman had done good service to the Assembly and to the country, by tearing away the veil which hung over the question, by leaving aside mere commonplaces, and stating what the matter really was. There were two points in which this question was to be examined—one of expediency relat ing to the present circumstances and the other of or ganization. The Hon. Gentleman then proceeded to the question in these two particulars. The Convention, he observed, when it flung down the remains of the Mo narchy, never for a moment contemplated having any other power by its side—it took care to keep the au thority all in its power. Did the present Assembly in tend to establish a sovereign power by its side?—(Loud cries of " No, no.") Then it was the old Convention that it was intended to set up at present—(Cries of ' itiONDON, FRIDAY E V Pi, N N Cr, SE PTEMBE It 20, - " No, no')?—the old Convention, eith its power to set down and raise up ! The great majority eff the present Assembly had shewn itself guided by mod.: retion and good sense. Abroad, it had resisted the most gene rous impulses ; and at home had refused to countenance those new social ideas which its experience tel I it could not but be attended with danger. The present Assembly, therefore, was certain to consolidate and defend, and not to destroy. Hence, when the constitution was voted, he felt certain that the Assembly would arlopt it, not for mere reasons belonging to the present moment, but for such as belonged to all time—such as would tend to give a regular and moderate Government to the country. But experience must be looked on as of the utmost hc portance in the consideration of such a subject; and experiencehad shown that two Chambers were required to preserve a balance of power in the state. To create a single Chamber was to establish too great a power—a power irresponsible. Where was there to be a moderating power in France with a single Chamber? In England it was found in the House of.Loids, a body so remarkable for its traditions, its power, its honour able pride of acting well. In America it was found by the Senate, guided by its federative spirit. Where was there such a spirit in France? Nowhere—there was nothing but the democratic spirit. It was in that spirit, therefore, that the moderating power was to be looked for. But how? By adopting such a plan as was set forth in the amendment under discussion — by dividing the legislative power—by forcing one part of the democratic power to held a surveillance over the other.—(Hear. hear.) Was such surveillance necessar3 ? Whoeveraythat the sing le shouldin the n egat i ve , w h oever s hould p Chamber, being e l ec t e d by universal suffrage, r b be amply sufficient, might go a step a farther and say that, such being the case, there was no necessity whatever for the constitution itself. But was it certain that a democratic Assembly, elected by uni versal suffrage, was to be free from passions—was to always act correctly? Experience proved the con trary ; the very acts of the present Assembly, during the few months it had been sitting, showed it clearly. Would the Council of State act as a cor rective, and supply the place of the second Chamber? The Honourable Representative examined this question at some length, and argued that body in question would not be of more avail now than under the monarchy. " I stand here," said the Honourable Representative, " to declare the views of the minority of the Committee; but I believe that, had the subject been considered on its own merits only, the decision of that majority would have been different.—(Movement.) For eighteen years I have endeavoured to found and consolidate the Legislative power under the monarchy, with as much sin cerity as I shall now endeavour to found and consolidate that of the Republic —(Agitation ; loud applause on the right.) For eighteen years I have opposed the errors of the constitutional monarchy—of that monarchy which had been lest, because it bad incurred the hatred of the country ; and again, I am ready to perform the same task under the Republic.—(Loud outcry.) Do you suppose that a democratic Assembly will run no danger? Do you imagine that there are no impulses to withstand? Be certain that there are. Well, than, when such dangers occur, I shall consider it my duty to again stand to my post like a watchful sentinel. But you may be also certain that if any serious evil should occur to the Republic, it can only be from the absence of a moderate Democratic power."—(Hear, hear.) 'File Honourable deputy then again referred :to the danger of a single Chamber as constituting a dictatorship, and concluded by calling on the Assembly to divide the legislative power in order to save the Republic from the cruel les sons which otherwise the future would reserve to it.— (Loud applause.) The Hon. Representative, on descending from the tribune, was surrounded by his friends, amongst whom we perceived M. Thiers, Duvergier de Hauranne, and others, who warmly congratulated him. The sitting ' was suspended for a quarter of an hour. The Moniteur publishes the following paragraph :- - - - " A report has been circulated that the Minister of Finance was endeavouring to negotiate a loan in Eng land. This news is destitute of foundation. If any steps have been taken in England they were made without the participation of the French Government, which has no intention, under the present position of the Treasury, to make a new appeal to public credit." Intelligence from Herault states that M. LAissac, the Republican candidate, has been returned for that department, in opposition to the Abte DE GENOUDE, the editor of the Gazette de France and the chief of the Parti Pretre. The JSurnal des Debats confirms the accounts which had been previously received of the defeat of the Republican attempt of STRUVE at Baden, and of his flight into Switzerland. Not only is Paris perfectly tranquil, but it is be• ginning to recover its wonted gaiety, and business is fast reviving, not only in the capital, but also in the provinces. In the Bitting of the National Assembly yesterday, the amendment of M. DE ST. HILAIRE to Article 20 of the new Constitution was withdrawn, and the article itself, which establishes a single Chamber, was adopted by a large majority. Articles 21, 22, 23, 24, 25 and 26 were also adopted. This sitting was ren dered further remarkable by the fact that a negro who has been returned for Guadaloupetook his seat as a Member. The discussion on the article of the Constitution, which determines the mode in which the President of the Republic is to be elected, is looked forward to with great anxiety. The club of the Rue de Poitiers (composed of the Legitimatist and Orleanist parties, the leaders of which are M. THIERS and M. La aucHE JAQUELIN, of the reactionaries, in short), has deter mined to vote for the election of President by uni versal suffrage, and for the rejection of all amend ments excluding any candidates. The club of the Palais National (the moderate Republicans) will vote for the election of the President by the National Assembly. The Club at the Institute is divided, and the Club of the Rue laitbout (the Red Republicans) will vote against the appointment of any President, except provisionally. It is expected that the discussion will commence on Monday. The Duke DE SOTOMAYOR, the Ambassador of Spain to the French Government, who was to have presented his credentials some days back, has been prevented by indisposition. General MAREY-MONGE, late Governor of Algeria, has arrived in Paris. The Corsaire says—" It appears that Generals CAVAIGNAC And LAMORICIERA are disposed to sup port the principle of remplacement militaire. The Montagne alone will vote against it." Ignb BOURSE—PAnts, THURSDAY, SEPT. 28. THREE O'CLOCIL—The contradiction by the Moniteur of the report of the negotiation for a loan of twelve mil hone sterling in Li-,ndon produced an unfavourable im pression on the Bourse to-day, and the consequence was a considerable fall in the price of Rentes. The Railway Shares were also weak, but the fall in them was not so great as in the Government Securities. The news of the outbreak at Cologne had also an unfavourable influence. For the Account, the French Three per Cents. have fallen 15e.; Five per Cents., 40'., and the Loan, 50,!. Fur Money, the Three per Cents. have fallen 30c.; the Five per Cents., 30c.; and the Loan, 55e.; Bons du 'fresor not quoted; Bank of France Shares have fallen 10f.

In cons:-Ttenec of my appointment as the President of the Ministry, and the Minister of War, I have the ,nciiir to transmit to you the address of the new Ministry. His Majesty the King has already stated in a proclama tiofl to the army, issued on the Ist of May, his views with regard to the position which the army was to occupy after a cl►:aiige in the affairs of the State had taken place. In the same manner my predecessor, General Von Schreckenstein, had repeatedly, and finally in a decree of the 13th instant, declared that the Government of his Majesty would not support reactionary tendencies, but continue in the constitutional course it had entered upon. At the same time the necessity of acting, so as to pro mote a constitutional spirit among all classes of the pnple, was pointed out by him. I hold the same views, And have determined to oppose all reactionary ten dencies. I request you will promote in every manner possible a good understanding between the civil classes and the military, and resist the reactionary spirit among the troops under your command. You will com municate this decree to the officers, and direct their attention to the circumstance that according to the draft of the Constitution which has been pro posed by his Majesty to the National Assembly, the officers of the army will be obliged to take an oath on the Constitution in the same manner as. the civil officers are obliged to do. and that no reactionary tendencies will clash with the duties of an officer in the army. The present situation of Prussia and of the whole - German fatherland is a most difficult one, and the co-operation of all legal authorities will be necessary to prevent dis union, of which the enemies of the country might avail themselves, and to convince every one that the con stitutional liberty granted by our King will not be endangered, but protected by the armies of our country. I am aware of the difficulties connected with the du ties of the office with which his Majesty has intrusted me, but I feel certain that you, as well as the officer:: under your command, who have proved their affection for their King and fatherland, will unite with me to pro mote one and the same object. " VON PFUEL, Minister of War. " Berlin, Sept. 23, 1848." Some serious disturbances occurred at Cologne on the 25th instant. The Kober Zeitung says— " On the day in question large meetings were got up on the Altenmarkt, and inflammatory speeches were de livered by the editors of the Neue Itheinisehe Zeitung, an ultra-Radical Cologne paper. A lieutenant of the police was insulted and ill-treated by the mob, the wooden in closure of the market, painted in the Prussian colours of black and white, was torn up and burnt. The construc tion of barricades was then earnestly recommended by the speakers, and barricades were consequently erected. Up to this time the rioters had not been interfered with, for the Civic Guards pretended they were not under competent orders: At five o'clock their leaders were summoned before the Commander of the town and for tress, who asked them whether they thought their corps of sufficient strength for the re-establish ment of order. They answered in the negative, where upon the military were ordered out and artillery stationed on the Neumarkt and is: front of the Govern ment Palace. The gates of the town were closed to prevent the entrance of riotous mobs from the environs of the city. Great progress had meanwhile been made in the construction of the barricades, for here, too, the Republicans acted upon a preconcerted plan, and the town was full of agents from Southern Germany. Hackney-coaches, boats, the timber from the scaffolding ruuud the cathedral, hearses, and heavy stones were employed in the construction of the barricades. Several attempts at sounding the tocsin were made, and the sturinglocke' of the cathedral was actually put in motion, when the military entered the town, and arrested the maleFictors. A red flag was planted on an immense barricade in the Schildergasse, the gas was turned off from the street lamps, and shops were plundered. The military, however, took all the barricades, above eighteen in num ber, without meeting with any resistance, and though the riots continued all night, there was no occasion for the soldiers to make use of their arms, for the mob dis persed on the approach of the troops, left the latter to destroy their barricades, and immediately- set about building fresh ones in another quarter. Numerous ar rests were made. Early in the morning the pavement was replaced, and the city of Cologne is now compara tively tranquil. The military commander has never theless thought it necessary to declare the town in a state of siege, to prohibit public meetings of more than twenty persons, to disarm the Civic Guards, and to sus pend the publication of the Neue ltheinische Zeitung, and of three more Cologne papers. The commander of the Burgher Guard addressed on the 21st a dispatch to General WRANGEL, calling upon him to explain categorically the following pas sage in his general order My mission is to re store pu'slic tranquillity wherever it may be disturbed in these districts, when the strength of good citizens may be insufficient for that purpose ;" and further requiring to know whether the troops would act without being required so to to do by the Burgher Guard commander, as required by recent laws re specting this institution, or whether the passage re ferred to was intended to imply that the intervention would only take place upon the requisition of the communal authorities and committee of public safety. ' To this General WRANGEL returned the following reply : "Head-quarters, Charlottenburg, Sept. 23. "In reply to the communication which the Burgher Guard commander of Berlin did me the honour to ad dress to me, under the date of the 21st, I beg to reply, that as my General Order of the 17th instant has been discu:sed and set at rest by the Chamber, I no longer feel myself authorised to enter into explanations upon the question addressed to me on this subject, but must request that reference may be made to the explanations given and openly published by the Minister President. Had the communication of the honourable commander been received at an earlier period, I should have felt sincere pleasure in seizing that opportunity to have re turned special answers to all questions addressed to me, and this with the same candour that has been exhibited towards me by the most honourable com mander. For candour awakens confidence, and never did I stand so much in need of confidence as in my pre sent position. Let the honourable Burgher Guard of Berlin, which has furnished so many proofs of its zeal under difficult circumstances, rest assured that I shall keep strictly within that legal rule, which is a duty that no one who loves and respects his country should over step, and which, after the parade of the 20th at Berlin, I openly declared in the presence of many officers of the Burgher Guard. (Signed) "VON WRANGEL." In publishing this dispatch yesterday, the Burgher Guard commander added the following note : " The Burgher Guard commander cannot discover in the above communication the required categorical reply to his questions, and has consequently adopted the requisite measures to proceed further in the matter at issue." In the sitting of the National Assembly on the 25th, the Ministers, in reply to several questions, stated that they were prepared to carry out the reso lutions of thesth Sept , by issuing a monition to the army to abstain from all demonstrations of a political character; and declared themselves prepared not only to resist reaction as well as anarchy, but to consider themselves bound upon all occasions to adhere to the resolutions of the majority. These explanations satisfied all parties in the Assembly. There was a slight disturbance in the evening between some soldiers and the people, but the Burgher Guard interfered, and restored tranquillity before any serious injuries had been inflicted on either side. itself. There NV:IS no chance of these chnpters being ready so soon. He entered into partichlars connected with the printing and subsequent recision by the Committee. They would scarcely be ready for a month. JORDAN not being present, his interpellation as to what was being dune concerning the ships purchased in Hamburgh for the German fleet was not answered by Herr VON SCIIMERLING; but the latter replied to VEN EDE Y'S question as to whether the Members of the Assembly. were subject to the restrictions conse quent on the state of siege. He said that, as the National Assembly had previously passed no excep tional resolution in favour of the Members of the Assembly —none, in fact, that gave them privileges beyond those of other citizens—the Ministry could only regard them as being, in all judicial matters, on the same footing with the other inhabitants of Frank fort.—(Cry of " infamous !" from VOGT • great clamour, SCHAFFRATII, ZIMMERMANN, and VOGT rising, with several other Members of the Left, the two former being particularly conspicuous in shaking their fits at the Minister ; lengthened clamour ; the President in vain attempting to restore order. Re newed cries of " infamous !" SCIIMERLING perfectly composed. The storm at last subsides.) SCIIMERLING quietly resumed. He haul something else to add.—(Suppressed laughter.) The Ministry was, nevertheless, of opinion that, taking the Parlia mentary usage of all countries into consideration, the arrest of a member could only take place with the acquiescence of the National Assembly.—(Mur murs of satisfaction on the Left, and faint cheers on the Right and Centre.) As to the state of siege having been protracted after the restoration of peace, this only arose from a strong conviction on the part of the Ministry, that it was their great duty to protect the Assembly.—(Slight dissatisfaction on the Left.) VENEDEY moved—The National Assembly resolves to call upon the Imperial Ministry to cancel the state of siege in Frankfort. He moved also for oral division on the urgency of his motion. Here followed a long dispute as to how VENEDEY meant oral division to be applied. The urgency of the motion was at last tested by oral division. Noes, 2771 ayes, 139; rejected, therefore, by a majority of 138. The discussion of the fundamental rights was then resumed, and after an unimportant debate, and dis putes as to the order of putting the question, almost equally long, the following motions, forming section 18, were carried : " Every German has full liberty to give instruction, or to found establishments of instruction and education, with a reservation of the stipulations that may afterwards be made by supplementary resolutions. —Carried. Ayes, 180 ; noes, 176. " Every German is at full liberty to give instruction, and found establishments of instruction and education, provided that he be in a condition to prove his moral and practical capacity before the authorities of the state."— Carried. ITALY. NORTHERN ITALY. The Risorgimento of Turin of the 23c1 inst., pub lishes the following : "TO THE BRITISH NATION. THE SOCIETY FOR THE PROMOTION OF THE ITALIAN CONFEDERACY. " Britons !—A poet, whose name, dearest to our hearts, is carved on an obscure tombstone in one of your church-yards—Ugo Foscolo has said it: " In deed, I always find something wicked in an ever successful man." Prosperity blinds our judgment and hardens our heart. We learn to disbelieve the misery of others, to deny its existence ; or else indis criminately to ascribe it to their own imprudence, to their folly and vice. The words beggar and wretch have in the language of the wealthy and happy in exorably identified misfortune with guilt. "Nations are taught to be no less sweeping in their ungenerous conclusions against their brethren. Government,' you are often told, is always such as people deserve, such as they make it. No nation endures thraldom but such as axe too base or too craven to shake it off.' They trace the finger of Providence in every work of human iniquity. From their harbour of refuge they look down on their tempest-tossed brother and to his outcry make no answer, save only Help thyself and God will help thee!' " This indifference to the sufferings of others, we would not, 0 ye Britons, attribute to want of feeling on the part of such of your advisers as are striving to enlist you in the cause of our enemies. Their very selfishness has something great and momentous in it. They would wish you to hurry on to your goal, heedless of any sound of distress. They wish the train of civilization to proceed at a terrific rate, even though thousands and millions be crushed underneath its wheels. Theirs is the cause of mankind; whether we follow or are dragged along with it, gives•them no concern. _ _ _ " It was even men like these that your fathers trusted with our destinies in 1814. They also wished for peace on any terms. They sacrificed Venice and Genoa, all the defenceless and helpless ; they pam pered the craving of despots, with utter disregard to the claims of the people. Your fathers knew not what they were doing.' Designing men practised upon their too eager longing for rest. There was peace. May the tears and blood that peace cost us be not on their head! " But now our destinies are once more matter for your deliberation. You know us better now. We have spoken loudly and plainly. Our vows shall not be misrepresented to you. We shall not be sacri ficed. " God has given us a country of our own, a lan guage, a national character. You own island has not inure distinct boundaries than those which separate us from our neighbours. Our independence and union was marked out by nature's own works. " Only, our fathers abused Heaven's gifts, and their guilt has been visited upon us. Like all human tribes in ages of darkness, they indulged . unnatural enmities. But in other lands discord led to weariness, and prepared the way for that tyranny which was to force all parties into one bond of unity, whereas the very energy of our ruthless ancestors baffled all attempts at subjugation, and could only . be reduced by artfully ministering to their jealousies and perpetuating their feuds. "The punishment has now reached farther down than the third and fourth generation. The wrath of heaven is appeased. We a re brothers at heart. him The who would put us asunder ! " We come before you, then, ye umpires between Austria and Italy. We claim Italy as ourmn birth right. We will not answ er the Orator (* o ) who de clared before your senate that ' the Austrian Govern ment is a blessing to us. Good or bad, we will h ave n one of it. We will waste no time with those who contend that we are unfit for self-government. These are uo matters of dispute. Enough that we will suffer no one else to govern us. W e have, at last, acqui re d a w ill of our own. Every day, since that fat a l 1814 , h as found us one step in advance ; every day stifled a conspiracy, quelled an insurrection in blool. What of it ? At first our attempts were scarcely heard of ; now the world's peace is jeopardised by them ! " Our cities have learned to drive the enemy from their walls. Our youth to confront him on the battle field. The last encounter has proved fatal to our arms, it is true. It would be idle to enumerate the causes that led to our disasters. The success is against us, and the world looks no farther. Your weekly paper - ascribes it to our anxiety to eat our maccaroni with a whole skin.' Be it so. Ten years ago, the v er y id ea o f a fight was out of the question. We have gone so far this time as to take the field, to keep it as conquerors for four months. God is gre a t ! The day will come for us to winit. " Meanwhile let those who would lead you back to the policy of 1814 look well to this. To be beaten is not for us to be vanquished. Every defeat is a vital lesson to us. Every loss brings us one step nearer to our goal. Behold ! The sons of every Italian province have cemented their union with their blood, on the fields of Lombardy.

THE; FUNERAL of LORD GEORG E BENTINCK.—(THIS DAY-) The funeral of this much-lamented in,bleman took place this murning at the old parish church of MarY, lebone, in which the family vault of the noble house of Portland is situated. Soon after the arrival of the mail-train from the north this morning a special train arrive d at the terminus of the North-Western Railway in Euston-square, which brought the remains of the deceased Lord. The corpse left Welbtek Abbey at eight o'clock last evening. and the inhabitants of the villages through which the hearse had to pass came out with flambeaux, and other wise testified their respect. The body reached the rad", way station at Eckington about ten o'clock, and in hale ' an hour the special engine left for London. After brief delay at the terminus the remains of his Lordship were conveyed to Harcourt House: The funeral was conducted as privately To the very numerous applications of the political frie n ds of the deceased to be allowed to send their carriages to follow in the cortege but one answer was given, nom el l' that the Duke of Portland desired the funeral to he private, and therefore no carriages could be permitted to join the procession. as ossible. The Marquis of Titchfield, Lord Henry Bentinck, and Mr. E. J. Denison arrived at Harcourt House at as early hour, from Welbeck Abbey; also the principal domestics of his Lordship's establishment. The Duke of Portland, from his advanced age and consequent infirmities, was unavoidably absent. The Marquis of Clanricarde, Viscount Canning. end the Bentinck and other connexions of the Ducal house, were absent from the urgent desire of the Duke of Port land that the solemnity should be strictly private. About half-past nine o'clock, all the necessary Pr' paratious having been completed, the funeral procesnsio was formed, and left Cavendish-square. The hearse was drawn by four horses, sumptuousil caparisoned. The first mourning coach, drawn by four horses, con• tamed the Marquis of Titchfield, and Lord Henry ea- tinck, M.P., brothers, and Mr. E. J. Denison, Nag bro:her-in-law of the deceased. The second mourning coach, drawn by. four horses' contained the personal attendants of the late Lord , each coach being escorted on each side by pages. Next came the private carriage of the Duke of Port land which closed the funeral cortege. The mournful procession pursued its route from Cavendish-square along Harley-street to Devonshire street, thence into High-street to the church. There were some few hundreds of persons attracted to see the funeral, and crowds collected at the entrance of the church. On reaching the church, the body was received by the Rev. W. H. Charlton, M.A. curate of St. Marylebon e + who preceded the body into the interior, when the coffin was placed at the west end, under the organ-gallery; The Marquis of Titchfield, Lord Henry Beutinc k, an Mr.- E. J. Denison were conducted to a pew on tistr south side, and the funeral service was proceeded With by the Rev. Gentleman in a deeply impressive manner l ., The church was far from crowded. Mr. B. Disraei' ALP., was present among the congregation. Shortly before eleven o'clock the mourners and others. engaged in the mournful ceremony left the churc h , an ° everything resumed its customary quietude. ft. .. 1 The coffin was shortly afterwards consigned tel i ts resting place.

They robbed the public treasuries of the cities of Liirrach, Kandern, Mullheim, Stanfen, and Heitersheim. They stopped the mail from Basel, and robbed it of 35,000 florins (somewhat more than 3,0001.). M. Smituve has appointed himself Presi dent of the German Republic. He has published a Gazette, in which he enacts his republican laws. By one of these laws all taxes are abolished ; the second lowers the import duties by one-half. The population of the disturbed districts are furious against him and his followers, and call them, very properly, a gang of robbers. The authorities of the Grand Duchy are actively employed in suppressing the insurrection. General HOFFMANN left Freiburg on the 24th with a strong detachment of troops. He proclaimed martial law throughout the valley of the Rhine, from Liirrach to Ettlingen. The advices from Stuttgard state that 31 leaders of the Red Republic were arrested on the 24th, and that a courier has been sent to Frat.kfort to ask for 3,000 federal troops. The Wurte mber s p a p ers publish a royal procla m ation of the 23.1, calling upon all loyal subjects to stand by their KING and country, and to oppose the intrigues of the rebel party. The Journal d e Frankfort of the 2.5 th says— " The most recent i n t e ll i gence of the insurrection at Baden informs us that a sanAuivary .engagement has taken place bet ween th e t r oops and the insurgents in the vicinity of St au ff en . Th e l a tter were coffipletely routed, and were so eff ec t ua lly hemmed in, that they can have no alternative but t o surrender." PRUSSIA.
