Another political constitution is now in a forward state of preparation in France. In the preamble to the draft of this new constitution M. ARMAND MAR EAST has explained the principle from which the whole of the recent movement has originated, by declaring, with the terseness of an epigrammatic logician, that France is democratic, and that there fore the Government of France should be republican. Earnestly as we hope for the permanent establishment of this republican Government in Paris, both for the sake of France herself and for the rest of the nations of Christendom, we must nevertheless confess that we can by no means regard the present scheme of a constitution with anything like sentiments approaching to an implicit confidence in its stability. To do so, it would be necessary for us to be preternaturally credulous. For whereas the Revolution of February gave promise of a lasting animosity—the subsequent fluctuations of the political barometer in the French metropolis augur little more than a continuance of that French fickleness, and that_French frivolity which have so repeatedly tended to convulse the European continent. Had we the patience of those ingenious philosophers who draw analogies between the occurrences of modern history and the poetic fables of the Greek my thologists, we should undertake to prove that HOMER was literally the prophet of French disasters, that the Iliad was more of a French epic than the gen riade itself, and that HELEN, who " set the world in arms" by becoming the spouse of PARIS, was merely the symbol of that Goddess of Liberty, crowned with the Phrygian cap, who was espoused by the beau tiful city on the banks of the Seine. If we look back over the records of the last seventy years we shall find sufficient reasons for entertaining doubts as to the permanence of the proposed Consti tution. We shall find, as the distinguished Presi dent of the National Assembly himself acknowledges, that during that extraordinary interval France has attempted everythin g an d un d ergone ever ythi ng —" th e cruel afflictions of civil war, the brilliant deceptions of glo ry , the bitterness of defeat, the absolute rule of geniu s , t h e moderate monarchy without ' genius, legi kmacY, illegiti mac everything in turbny' g n 'good, powers b founded on indifferent interest , ' h ' — a s been employ e d , of experi men t.

With such unprecedented vicissitudes in the go vernment of France, and with a still more vivid because a more immediate, remembrance of the changes which have occurred since the Revolution of February, it would be madness to look forward, without a profound sense of trepidation, to the futurity awaiting the newly modelled Republican Constitution. When we bear b in mind the ardour already evinced by the different classes and shades of politicians in the French capital—the Legitimists, the advocates of a Regency, the Bonapartists, the So ' cialists, the Ultras or Red Republicans, the Communists, the Fourierists, the St. Simonians, the Mountaineers, the Prudhonists, the Absolutists, and the Utopian dreamers, whose bubble is called Socialite—when we remember, moreover, that the foremost of the Mode rates, the only party whose ambition arises from a genuine and unsophisticated patriotism, are repaid with ingratitude and calumny, it is impossible for us to be over-sanguine as to the prospective permanence of the proposed constitution. We can only yearn with all the earnestness of an ardent sym pathy to behold the peaceful consolidation of France, the systematic establishment of her Government, and the lasting security of her Constitu tion. While we pronounce these aspirations we would, nevertheless, if possible, remind the men of Paris of a fact which has been already recognised by the electors of Ma9on. We would remind them that the historian of the Girondists has shown by his adminis tration of three months' duration—an inverval during which the wave of his finger might have worked the weal or the woe of Republican France that he has not studied in vain the records of the First Revolution. He saw that the bane of France throughout that appalling epoch of blood and spoliation, when the Guillotine was the Juggernaut of the Parisians, and when the Executive was transformed into a mere Machine of Murder ; LAMARTINB saw that the agony of France throughout that ghastly era arose solely and wholly from the in dulgence of jealousy, envy, and hatred among the different parties, and even among the different indi viduals who constituted the Senate of Repub lican Legislature. LAMARTINE recognised this in the records of the Royalists, the Giron dists, the Dantonists, the Herbertists, and the Terrorists indiscriminately—and therefore, to prevent the renewal of this great danger, he not only accom panied the proclamation of the Republic with the initiative decree, abolishing the punishment of death for political offences, but he resolved, at all hazards, to abstain from party prosecutions, even though it led in the end to his own discomfiture. LAMARTINE has kept his resolve with religious exactitude, and the consequence has been that every action in his illus trious career as an Administrator has been misappre hended and misconstrued. Let the citizens of the French Republic con that career scrupulously, and let them meditate in time whether it bears not throughout remarkable evidences of the calmest wis dom and the noblest humanity. The first great want of Ireland, the true cure for the sufferings she has undergone—and, we regret to say, is still enduring—is most undoubtedly the de velopment of her industry, the affording of full and adequate employment ;to the myriads :of labourers who are now unproductively consuming the national resources, in place of being the producers and creators of national wealth. Labour is the only true foundation and basis of capital, which really consists of nothing but hoarded and accumulated labour in various shapes. Now, it is manifestly a false eco nomy to permit that labour to remain useless and unproductive while there are fields to be cultivated, waste lands to be reclaimed, bogs to be drained, peat to be converted into fuel, minerals to be extracted from the bowels of the earth ; fish to be captured in the depths of the ocean ; or articles of various kinds conducive to the comfort or happiness of mankind to be manufactured. As we have not as yet arrived at that refinement of political economy, which would suffer those who are unable to earn their own sub sistence to perish of starvation, as they must be sup ported whether they remain perfectly idle, or actively occupied in useful and beneficial pursuits, it is surely a wiser and more judicious policy to obtain the returns which they are both able and willing to give, and not to permit a sinful waste of the means at our disposal, a burying in the earth of the talent with which we are entrusted. There is, however, one insurmountable obstacle to the development of Irish industry, which cannot be removed, so long as our present monetary code con tinues in existence. The circulating medium—the currency of the country—is utterly inadequate to its wants and exigencies. Without a sufficient quantity of the representative of value, its industry languishes and declines. It is the motive power that sets the wheels of the state machine in action, and keeps the various parts of the general body in healthy and bene ficial operation. A glance at the recent returns of the average circulation of the Irish banks will show how utterly disproportioned to the number of in habitants, to the taxation of the country, and to the mines of wealth that remain dormant and unde veloped, is the amount of currency within that part of the United Kingdom. It appears, then, that the entire circulation of Ireland, on the average of the four weeks ending 12th August last, amounted to 4,313,3041. only, and as the authorised circulation of these Irish banks, sanctioned by law, amounts to 6,354,4941., it follows that the Irish banks are below their fixed issues no less than than 2,041,1901.—0 r nearly one-third of the entire amount. Does not this simple fact fully explain the poverty and wretchedness of the country—the absence of employment, the increase of poor-rates ? The very life blood of industry is wanting. Money is scarce and dear, and every branch of product is withered and dried up in consequence of that scarcity. In estimating the amount of currency that would be required in Ireland, the peculiar circumstances of that country should be borne in mind. In England the authorised circulation, exclusive of that which is based on gold, amounts to 22,290,3761. sterling; in addition there is that which is issued against gold and silver, which on the average amounts to at least eight or ten millions more say, in round terms, at least 30,000,000/. of notes, fur carrying on the general business of the country ; but as these notes are all of the larger denomination, none under 51. being sane tioned, a very considerable amount of gold, not less than from thirty to thirty-five millions sterling, re mains in the hands of the public, circulating from hand to hand. This alone gives a currency amount ing to sixty-five millions for England alone, without taking into account the amount of business transacted by means of bankers' cheques and bills of exchange, which form additional representatives of value to an extent wholly unknown in Ireland, and far beyond the proportion which the relative wealth and profit of the two countries would seem to re quire. But at the other side of the Channel a gold currency is comparatively unknown—small notes circulate in place of sovereigns. A certain quantity of gold is retained in the Bank to meet the absurd requirements of the recent Act; but it is never sought for, or required, except by parties who withdraw it for the purpose of hoarding. As a general medium of exchange the one-pound note is greatly preferred, both in Scotland and Ireland, to the sovereign. The 4,313,3041., therefore, performs all the functions which it takes 65,000,0001. to discharge here ; or, in other words, a population, one-half of that in England, is obliged to be satisfied with a cur rency one-fifth of what we find too little for the ge neral purposes of our country. This, it is, that paralyses the commerce and the industry of the island, and occasions that lamentable neglect of the magnificent n a t ura l resources wh i ch it possesses. IVe have ourselves witnessed too recently the cala mitous results of a contraction of the currency. 'We have seen that the withdrawal of six or se ven m illi ons of gold, e n d the consequent diminution of the circulat ing medium by perhaps one- tenth of its total amount, had the effect of depreciating the value of every de- scription of property, and brought thousands to the verge of bankruptcy. What, we ask, must be the conlition of Ireland when one third of its entire cur rency has been withdrawn within a brief period ? Does it not account for all its sufferings and wretch edness ? What is to be the cure for this monster evil ? How can we stimulate the industrial energies of the coun try? How afford it a currency sufficient to bring into active employment its now useless and unpro ductive labour ? We believe that it is perfectly practicable to do so, and that such a currency would be fully as safe as any based upon bullion; that the labour of Ireland could be fully occupied, and the destitute poor fed, without any appeal to the bounty or to the compassion of England. SPAIN. We have received Madrid papers of the 28th ult. The QUEEN has returned from La Grangja to Madrid. During the course of the journey the horses attached to the carriage of NARTAEZ ran away, and the General leaped out of the carriage and re ceived several bruises. His health is much impaired, and it is generally supposed that he will retire, and be succeeded by MON. M. CABALLERO, a wealthy merchant, had been arrested on an unfounded charge of having cashed a bill for the Montemolinists, but he was shortly after released, and several Ministers waited on him to ex press their regret at what occurred. He was, how ever, so affected as to become seriously ill. The high character and popularity of M. CABALLERO, who is an intimate friend of the Minister of Finance, caused his arrest to create great sensation. There was a talk of several Members of both Chambers intending to pre sent an address to the QUEEN, praying that arbitrary political arrests may be put an end to. The Clamor Publico pretends that M. MoN's de mand for an advance is not favourably received by capitalists in the provinces. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of Saturday and of yesterday. Although it is exceedingly pr3bable that France may not ultimately be compelled to make an armed demonstration in Italy, it would appear from the fol lowing, which appears in the National of Saturday, that nothing but absolute necessity will compel the French Government to order the army of the Alps to cross the frontier. Should the peace of Europe be disturbed it will be solely attributable to the obsti nacy of the Austrian Governnint. The National says:- -"rile affairs of Italy natural!) excite public curiosity. Accordingly we are not surprised at versions the most contradictory and :taters.nts the most hazardous being put iu circulation by the j-urnals. Add to that, nu merous representatives of Lombardy or Venice too much disposed to take their hopes for realities, and ie their patriotic impatience to outstrip the still unknown resolutions of the Government, and you will understand how yesterday, for example, the departure of a corps d armee la declaration of war against Austria, 860., were an nounced. Lis well to warn dle public on this point. Repub lican diplomacy has nothing to hide, but precisely because it acts in open day, we consider suspicious all that it does not openly avow, all that it does not openly pro claim The least inconvenience of these controverted accounts, these anonymous communications, which are so numerous, would be to mislead the country, and perhaps to create us useless embarntssments with foreign Cabinets. At present nothing is decided as to the armed intervention of France. The reply of Austria, little satisfactory in form, does nut imply at bottom an absolute refusal of the mediation of Great Britain and France. It must not, however, be dissimulated that this reply, such as it is, may place the Government of the Republic under the necessity of supporting its offers to the belligerent parties by a demonstration. Austria only alleges one single motive for not pronouncing on the question of mediation. She is negotiating, she says, directly with Piedmont. Without inquiring whether Piedmont is entitled to spz-ak in the name of Lombardy and Venice—which is more than doubtful—we will con tent ourselves with causing it to be remarked that the motive put forward by the Cabinet cf Vienna does not even exist ; as in point of fact the whole Cabinet of Turin protests against the supposition of a private treaty between Sardinia and Austria. If then any negotiations have been entered into cn the subject of the affairs of Italy, they can only be personal to the King. This declaration, of which we guarantee the exactitude, has an importance which will escape no one. Evidently Charles Albert cannot alone and in his private name engage both his states and the whole of Northern Italy. Thus Austria cannot longer shelter herself behind pretended negotia tions with Piedmont to reject mediation. At the present hour, the two Powers which have taken the Italian cause in hand have to call on Vienna to explain itself catego rically. We repeat, that we hope that, better inspired, Austria will accept the offer of mediation, of which the bases were, so to speak, laid down by the Austrian Cabinet itself, before England and France interposed. The initiative, an honourable initiati ve, belongs to Austria. It would not be worthy of her to abuse her victory by retiring her proposition. Besides, what would she gain by so doing ? Does she not feel that her Italian possessions are for ever lost, and that henceforth, Milan, a desert, and Lombardy, abandoned, only offer her a costly occupation ? Let Italy belong to herself—such is the wish of Europe —such is the right of those populations which force has been able to sub ject, but not conquer. Until Austria shall be, decided to reply categorically, things will re main in the same state, and any hostile attempt against portions of the Italian territory not included in the armistice is interdicted to the Austrian army. We have not been alone in laying down this condition, for, if we are well informed, the English Cabinet has addressed a dispatch to Vienna to protest against any aggression against Venice. To sum up: Austria, interrogated by us, and long silent, has put forward her negotiations with Piedmont. Now, Piedmont declares that it will not negotiate, and it was difficult to understand how it could be otherwise, after her formal acceptation of mediation. What remains then for Austria to do? If she be sincere, recognise her error, and, in that case, ac cept our offer.i; if she understands her own interests, abandon what already no longer belongs to her; if she be just, be the first to proclaim Italian independence. If, on the contrary, the Cabinet of Vienna, counting too much on Frankfort, obstinately refuses, then we shall have to examine, not if there be reason to declare war— we reject the responsibility of that idea—but whether it may not be necessary to show to Austria that, when the French Republic has placed the nationality of a friendly people under its protection, it knows, if necessary, how to present at the point of its sword, as was formerly said, the treaty of peace which its negotiators have pre pared." The Journal des Debats considers the reply of Austria as tantamount to a refusal of the proffered mediation of France and England, but does not con sider that the peace of Europe will be disturbed in consequence of such refusal. Austria, it appears, had entered into negotiations with the Piedmontese Go vernment before the mediation was offered, and the terms proposed by Austria were believed to be to the following effect :—The offer to yield Lombardy, pro perly so called, to the King of SARDINIA ; the consti tution of Venice into a free town like Hamburgh or co L if u p ta b hl e ei ck t yA: composed the oe mhdpu c ok r s e e e ( a i ti o o f n to V, REGNIER,e th e net aoaf p n r ad o n fit rri one ni o od f uer;e na o dn fde independent he fit npasrloil prin cipality s in return for these concessions, the demand of a sum in money (it is said 400 millions) representing the contributive part of Italy, in the debt with which the Austrian Government is charged. The Siècle states that a French brigade embarked on Wednesday at Marseilles, for Venice. The Mar seilles journals, however, make no mention of such an occurrence. The Afeniteur contains the following official report of the state of affairs at Montpellier : " The Government has received the following news from Montpellier : —Report of August 29.—The success of the Legitimists in the municipal elections had irritated a part of the population. For some days past about 1,200 or 1,500 citizens met every evening on the Place de la Comildie. They then generally went through the quarters inhabited by the Legitimists, Yesterday these The Legitimists tmimainsitfseshtaaci manifesta tions assumedsinging patriotic pa trio t a i c graver character. gained a complete victory in the Council-General an d the Council d'Arrondissement.

The latter used his sabre, and gave a very dangerous wound to ono of his aggression , . Several persons were wounded on both tides. The prefect then proceeded, at the head of some national guards to the spot. The Legitimists had carried their wounded to a neighbouring quarter, called the Place de l'Olivier, chiefly inhabited by gar. deners known for their counter-revolutionary opinions. This quarter assumed a menacing attitude, and the pre with as ho w hastened e r of s t g n pre fect determi ne d to enter it and endeavour to calm matters.

At the same time, some shots were fired, and one of the gendarmes was mortally wounded in the back. At the same moment, on another point, M. Pt'ytavin, jug e d'instruction, re ceived two halls in the leg. Tho prefect then returned to the mairie, to have cartridges distributed to the Na tional Guard, and to order out fresh troops. Ho next went back to the Quartier de l'Olivier, where he was joined by the judicial authorities, by the general in command of the division, at the heed of a battalion of sharpshooters of Vincennes and a battalion of engineers. The quarter was surrounded, and a judicial investiga tion was at once commented, which went on through the night. The Court of Appal Iris had the matter was shot died at gendarme who , brought before it. The three in the morning. The illoniteur adds to the above the following telegraphic despatch, dated the 31st ult., at noon : " Tho gendarme who was shot was buried yesterday. MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 4, lB4B. The town is perfectly quiet. The judicial investigation is going on." The following is reported as the explanation of General CAVAIGNAC to the Committee of the As sembly on the suspension of the journals : " The journals cannot seriously believe that the Go vernment wishes to prevent them from free discussion during the debates of the National Assembly upon the Constitution. The idea of the suspension of the Consti tutionnel is nothing but a fable. The Council of Minis ters have never entertained any such idea, and conse quently the Minister of Justice...cannot have to oppose a measure which has never been thought of. It was only from necessity, and for the public safety, that some journals have been thus attacked. The Republic is but in its birth, and the Executive Government cannot tole rate journals which attack its very principle of life. Be sides, at every act of the executive power since the state of siege, the Assembly is perfectly at liberty to mark its disapprobation, and when it has done so the executive power will immediately stop." The General further de clared that he had not addressed himself to the Com mittee of Legislation, because that Committee had only to occupy itself with the laws, but to statesmen who were to judge of the state of things in a political point of view.—" We are not"—said the:General, in conclusion —" in a normal, but in an exceptional state." On Saturday the National Assembly was engaged in discussing the report of the Committee on the Constitution, which recommended that the state of siege of Paris should not be raised during the dis cussion of the Constitution. General CAVAIGNAC spoke in favour of the conclusions of the Committee, which were ultimately adopted by a majority of 529 to 140. The bureaux of the National Assembly proceeded on Friday to their monthly organization. Almost all the presidents and secretaries were re-elected. The principal change was in the fourth bureaux, where M. LEDRU RoLLIN, as president, and AI. CHAUFFOUR, as secretary, were opposed by M. DUPIN and M. MoRTIMER FARNAUX. Both of these last-named gentlemen were elected by l arge majorities. . A prisoner named VINCENT, confined at the Con ciergerie, who has lately written a letter to the Riforme affirming that " he had received money from the Legitimist party in the affair of June for carrying haters, and seen sums distributed to others," was on Friday visited by the Procureur of the Republic, and M. Finslow, Judge d'lnstruction, who asked him to reveal what he knew. VINCENT persisted that all he said was true, but refused to give the slighest information as to the persons implicated, unless he got a formal promise of pardon from the Government for any offences 112 might have committed, that of desertion included. lie said that he had besides written a letter on the subject of what he knew to the President of the National Assembly and to M,ll. I'stounnoN and LAGRANGE, representatives. Under the circumstances, the law authorities did not think that anything further could be done in the matter. cries of Vive la Republique ! accompanied the cry of Vive General Cavaignac! The whole was over about two o'clock, having lasted three hours. The heat was excessive. BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT THE LONDON STOCK-EXCHANGE. SEFT..2.

GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. AUSTRIA. By letters from Vienna of the 27th ult. we learn that the preceding day, which had been fixed for the burial of the workmen who were killed in the late riot, had passed off quietly. A considerable number of students had attended the funeral. Arrests con tinued to be made; the number of persons already in custody was 58. It appears from an official report that 17 constables had been wounded, but only one seriously. The wounds received by the National Guard in the collision with the workmen are slight. M. DE LAMARTINE has just published a pamphlet in defence of his conduct while a member of the Provisional Government. It has created tie greatest sensation, and the first edition was sold oft in the co - irse of a quarter of an hour. It is in the form of a Letter to the Electors of the various constituencies Soho returned him as their representat:ve to the National Assembly. After commencing by declaring that " that popu larity which had greeted him everywhere without cause, has withdrawn from him without motive," he proceeds to treat successively the following points "It is alleged that I have been ardent in Pursuit of my ambitious projects, and feeble in the rxercise of power during the three months I formed part of the Provisional Government; "That I entered into conditions with terrorism; "That I made arrangements with communism, and intoxicated the people by promising them the organiza tion of labour; " That I conspired with the persons now detained at Vincennes, and furnished Sobrier with arms for im proper purposes ; " That I aided in attempts of armed propagandism against Governments to which I promised peace and honourable conduct ; "That I compromised the safety of the Republic by net ordering our forces at once beyond the Alps and the Rhine ; " That I was an accomplice in the manifestation of the two added thousand men on March 17th ; That I was hesitating and uncertain on the 16th of Aprrsi ; "That through pusillanimity I refused, after the meeting of the National Assembly, the solo power which the Assembly was disposed to confer on me, and which two millions of votes seemed to point me out for ; "That by this refusal I led the Assembly to form a Committee of Government, without unity of will and without firmness to meet the difficulties of the moment ; " That I formed an alliance in that Committee with men of opinions contrary to my own and to the mode rate Republic ; " That I paid my debts with the money of the Re public, and that I purchased property with the fruit of try peculations, &c." The political charges against M. DE LAMARTINE have been and will be again frequently discussed, and I is eloquent speeches in reply to those charges are well known. With respect to the last charge, it is the first time we have ever heard it brought against M. DE LAMARTINE, and we are surprised that those who have brought it forward should for one moment imagine that any sane man would believe it possible that ALPHONSE DE LAMARTINE could be guilty of pecu lation. In our minds the charge excites merely dis gust against its fabricators. It needs no reply. M. DE LAMARTINB, however, has condescended to notice, and to reply to it, and this he does in a manner that completely sets the question at rest. After declaring that it is impossible for a man in power to take any part of the public money, so nu merous are the formalities which attend every sum obtained from the Treasury, he goes on to say : " The truth is, that I have not had the handling of any other funds than 293,0001. of secret service money assigned in the usual way to me as Minister of Foreign Affairs to be expended in missions, information, and useful influences of every kind, at a moment when it was necessary to see everything with the eye of the Republic, to supply the suspended action of the agents of the mo narchy in foreign countries, and when I was at the same time Minister of Foreign Affairs and member of a dicta torial Government. That was the only sum of money of the funds of the Republic from which I could possibly dLduct these imaginary sums said to be sent by me to foreign countries, or appropriated to pay my debts. If my accusers will not believe in the mcral impossibi lity of my pretended peculations, they will at ieast be lieve in the impossibility of the arithmetic of their state ment " But I shall proceed further. On the Ist of last Ja nuary, fifty- three days before the Republic, my general fortune consisted of about 2,500,000 francs, as well in land, houses, furniture, as in money invested and literary property. My debts amounted to 650,000 f. Nothing is more easy than to verify these figures. " ' But you had,' it is replied, not less than 1,100,000 f. of debts in 1847, and now you have only 600,0001'. of the same. You have, therefore, paisi off 500,0001., and you must have done so out of the public money!' There is but one little difficulty in that, which is, that these 500,000 r. were paid off by me six months before the Re volution; and out of what funds did I pay them in 1847? Out of 300,0001. paid me by the publisher of L'Histoire des Girondins,' and out of 450,000 f., the price of my patrimonial estate of I'eronne, near Macon, sold by me at that period. Go and learn its particulars —the property sold, the persons who purchased it, my notaries, my publishers, my creditors, the deeds and receipts, will reply to you more peremptorily than any thing I can say. "As to the movement of my disposable fortune since the day when the Republic was established, and from my accession to power up to the present day, here it is —I was obliged to borrow 110,0001. in order to pay 105,0001. The lenders, publishers, creditors reimbursed are there to attest the exactitude of these assertions. I am ready to produce this testimony to the most incre dulous. Tho names of the parties respond for the mo rality and sincerity of the acts. Thus, it is evident that the source of my partial reimbursement in 1848 is not in the public treasury, but in they strong box of my creditors and of my friends. "I blush to bring . forward these figures ; but the people have a right to inquire into the reputation of their representatives. Let us therefore go farther. "I had concluded, shortly before the 23d of February at different dates, with publishers, capitalists, and news paper proprietors, contracts for the turning to account ray literary works, past, present, and to come, amount ing in all to the sum of 540,0001. I hoped, from the fruit of my assiduous labour, to pay in a few years my creditors, preserving my patrimony to a family n umerous and dear, and to the numerous families of farmers who live on my capital. The care of public affairs and the crisis, which I could not consent to take advantage of against the honourable and generous parties concerned, forced me to rescind all these acts, and will force me to reimburse the advances which I had received. It is, I T v h e e b ./; l o i tzt therefore, 540,0001. additional which I have sacrificed voluntarily to the revolution. Such are my profits by the Republic!" In the French provinces trade is reviving. of a return to a more favourable state of things for e d v u id i e i n a t or s e yn s l a p y t s o ; our town. The strangers and travellers who flock to years, and Havre from the month of June had hitherto been e de ca l n 'A p rr :in nd t is o s u e t nze al t completely absent from our hotels. It has been re marked with a lively-satisfaction that for some days hotels are now becoming filled, FRASCATI'S are taken." nearly all the apartments at past they have arrived in gr a e s at in num fo la rm er e s r . The The Observateur d'Avesnes says:— A large spin ning fa c t or y o f Guise is now buying up all the wool that can be f ou nd in the neighbourhood. We under stand, also, that almost all the manufacturers of the arrondissement of Verviers have taken back the greatest part of the workmen whom they had sent away after the revolution of February." Yesterday, at the review, General CAVAIGNAC was loudly cheered. The sight was a noble one, between 70,000 and 80,000 men being under arms, of whom about 19,000 or 20,000 belonged to the Na tional Guard, only one battalion being called out from each legion. The General, at the head of a numerous staff, went down the lines with General Da LAMORICIERE by his side, and then had all the troops to file off before him. Numerous MONEY and COMMERCIAL N E WS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool, on Saturday, were 3,000 inks, without any change in prices. American sorts realised 3d. to 54d. per lb. Railway Shares were flat. The letters and papers from the West India Islands, received on Saturday afternoon, justify the apprehension that the financial crisis in the colonies is not yet over. The shock of the failure of the Barbadoes Bank is scarcely over, when the Planter's Bank of Jamaica suc cumbs, and with the prospect of sustaining heavy losses, owing to the unfavourable position of its debtors. There can be no doubt that the West India interest generally is at present extremely depressed. Grain of all ,deseriptions is decidedly lower today, wheat having fallen 4s. to ss. per quarter, and other articles in proportion. The following is an extract of a letter from Norfolk dated Saturday :—" Wheat, owing to the fine weather, is certainly 2s to 4s lower per quarter today. We have had a very fine week with the exception of Thursday night, when we had a heavy tempest passing over us all night ; but since that, much spring sown wheat and early•sown Barley were carried in fine condition, fit for immediate use, and it now looks very much indeed like dry. The mercury is higher than at any period of this summer by far, with a north west wind, and if we get it fine all next week there will then be no corn unharvested, and the farmers will also get a large quantity of second crop hay stacked in excellent order. The potatoes keep going ; in short, they cannot get better, for where we heard of this it is only the young potatoes throwing up shoots which should be prevented if it is desired to preserve what are grown good." There is an exceedingly quiet market to-day for the Public Si curities. Consols have been firmer, however, on account of the fine weather, being 86 to 861 for Transfer, and 86 to q for Account. As yet_there is no indicatio❑ of open sales for tho Chancellor of the Ex chequer, and parties are still in the dark as to whether the two millions will be sold publicly from the Commis sioners' box in the Stock Exchange, or privately dis posed of as occasion offers. The New Three-and-a- Quarter per Cents. are 86i to 87, and the Three per Cents. 86 if to 861. Bank Stock is worth 196 i. Ex• chequer-bills have been 30s. to 31s. premium for those of March, and East India Bonds 20s. to 22e. premium. There has been a moderate business done in the Foreign Stock Market. Portuguese Four per Cents. have realised 22 to 22+, Peruvian Bonds 30, Chilian 86, and Mexican 164. Spanish Stock is merely nominal at 12 to for the Five per Cents, and 23 to for the Three per Cents. Dutch Two •and a-Half per Cents. have been 44,1, and Russian Ex-dividend 97i to 98i. Jo Railway Shares there is not at present any de cided change, but at the current rates a fair business is doing.

A Berlin letter of the 29th ult. says— " Last night was not so much disturbed as seemed to be apprehended. A few :light wounds and a few arrests were the only events. Two gun shots, which are asserted to have been fired by the people, contributed to render the assemblages much greater. Two men of the working class are reported to have been wounded by these s hot.. It is said that the magistrate has applied to the Mieistur of War to be authorised to restore order in the city. M. de Schreckenstein said he was willing to comply, but re commended the magistrate to refl-ct upon the conse quences which might ensue to the municipal authority trom a military intervention ordered by that authority. There was a soirée given yesterday by the President of the Council of Ministers, at which were present several members of the diplomatic body, and, among ftnem, MM. Arago, Nothemb, d'Ohsson, the Swedish Envoy, and the Turkish Chargé d'Affaires. The President of the Council did not either have the shutters closed or take any other measure of precaution." RUSSIA. A letter from St. Petersburgh states that on the 19th ult. there were 34 new cases of cholera, 34 re coveries, and 9 deaths. The day after there remained 545 persons attacked, or 79 less than the day before. At Riga, up to the 17 t h o f A ugust , 6,095 persons had been attacked, of whom 1,968 died, 3,709 reco vered, and 418 were still ill. HUN GARY. A letter from Pesth of the 224 ult. has the follow ing :—" A royal rescript, dated the 14th, addressed to the Diet, and read a the end of yesterday's sitting of the Chamber of Representatives, his created great consternation. The KING thereby makes knows that, his health being improved, he resumes the govern ment into his own hands, and discharges the Arch duke Palatine from the functions of Liutt.nant- General of the King, which had been conferred upon him. It is feared that this rescript will be the over throw of the conquests made by the Hungarians in March ; for without a Lieutenant-General of the King, resident at Ofen, a general government of Hungary in its capital is not to be thought of." DENMARK AND TILE DUCHIES. The following are the terms of the armistice :--In the first place, seven in lieu of three months were conceded by the Prussian Commissioners. 2. It is determined that all acts emanating from the Provi sional Government since the establishment of that Government shall be annulled, 3. Schleswig and Holstein are to be divided politically, and the nexus socialis thus declared now existing. The troops in the former will acknowledge the King of DENMARK, those in the latter the King of PRUSSIA as their chief, Lauenburg to be placed in the status quo ante. 3. The Provisional Government to be formed of five members, two to be chosen by the King of DENMARK, two by the King of PRUSSIA, and the fifth by the four others or by the King of PRUSSIA. The blockade will, of course, cease from the day of ratification, which will be the 2d September, at Lubeck. The ratification will bear the signatures of the Kings of DENMARK and PRUSSIA. The Ministers have been apprised, and the KING'S signature was to be applied on the even ing of the 31st ult. or early on the Ist inst., when General BELOW will return to Lubeck, there to meet the Swedish and Danish plenipotentiaries charged with the Danish ratifications. The Prussian troops will evacuate the Duchies forthwith. THE AFFAIR OF RISQU6NS-TOUT. A letter from Antwerp of the 31st ult. states that a verdict was given the evening before on the persons implicated in the Risquons-Tout invasim, which sentenced seventeen of the prisoners to capital punishment. The advocate SPILTLIJON is one of the condemned. ITALY. LOMBARDY. The Corriere Mercantile of Genoa of the 28th tilt. states that on the evening of the 24th a new engage ment took place between GARIBALDI'S troops arc the Austrians, both at Laveno and Luino ; the result was not yet known. TUSCAN Y. The Piedmontese Gazette of the 29th contains more particulars concerning the outbreak at Leghorn. On the evening of the 25th the Govornor was released from the fortress, where he was kept a prisoner, and the Provisional Government we mentioned yesterday was instituted. The Tuscan Government, seeing the urgency of the case, had immediately named D. Near CORSINI Governor of Leghorn, Sig. LIONETrO CIPRIANI Chief of the Military, and Sig. MALEN caIm, a Deputy, as a Special Commissioner. On the 26th the people came to blows with the troops, and it seems got the upper hand. The crews of the British and American ships in harbour offered their services fur the defence of lives and property, but it does not appear that th ey were accepted. A deputation from Leghorn arrived at Florence on the same day, and had an au di ence f rom the Ministry, which lasted till two o'clock in the morning. The result was said to be that VENSI should be allowed to return to Leghorn, and one of the banners which had been left by the cortege of Father GAVAZZI at Signa, should be restored ; and, on the other hand, efficient measures should be taken to re•eitablish tranquillity. The Dieta Italiaita of Bologna, of the 26th ult., announces the arrival in that town of Father GA- V.AZZI, the cause of the recent disturbances at Leghorn. He was received in triumph by the people of Bologna. The same paper gives the spirit of the amnesty pub • lished by the Duke of MODENA ; the exclusions com prise all those who promoted the revolution as mem bers of the Provisional Governments; those who pro moted the fusion with the States of Piedmont ; those who signed the act of delivery of Modena to com missioners of CHARLES ALBERT ; the authors and editors of seditious writings, and those who have committed crimes or misdemeanours under political pretences. SICILY. The Risorgimento of Turin, of the 29th ult., an nounces the resignation of the Sicilian Ministry, and the formation of a new one as follows : Minister of Commerce and Foreign Affairs, Marquis of Torre arsa ; Justice and Public Worship, Emmanuel Viola ; Finance, Philip Cordova; Public Instruction and Public Works, La Farina ; Director of the Interior Public Security, with the provisional right of signa ture as Minister, Gaetano Catalano. Sig. Stabile, nf l l rnf c re o i nen friendship consolidate at e Eng land to ex-Minister of Foreign Affairs, has been named Pre sident of the Chamber of Commons.

Advices to the 21st ult. have been received from Alexandria. The cholera was raging fearfully in Egypt. Since its first appearance in the country on the 12th July there have been 19,473 deaths. IBRAHIM PACIIA had gone to Rhodes. ARRIVAL OF THE COURT AT BUCKINGHAM PALACE.—Her Majesty, Prince Albert, and suite, arrived by special train this afternoon at four minutes after one o'clock, at the Nine Elms Station of the South-Western Rnilway, and immediately proceeded in their carriages and four to Buckingham Palace, where the royal party arrived at a quarter past one o'clock. A Privy Council was to be held at half-past two, when the royal speech will be submitted for her Majesty's approval. NORTH AMERICAN MAILS.—The royal mail steam ship Europa, Captai❑ Lott, took her departure from Liverpool on Saturday, for Halifax and New York, with the usual mails and a fair complement of passen gers. The homeward mails, per the steam ship Acadia, Captain Stone, which would leave Boston on the 23d and Halifax on the 25th ult., will be due on Tuesday.
