ESPANTERO has not only returned to the Spanish capital with the permission of the Government, but he has been received with an enthusiasm that sur passes description. He is the hero—the idol—the great man of his country. Citizens of all opinions have emulated each other in demonstrations of joy at his return to them from the land of his banishment. Since the morning of his arrival (January 7th) at Madrid, the Calle de la Montera, a long and spa cious thoroughfare, in which he has taken up his temporary residence, has been choked with a dense inultitude. Every one has striven to obtain a glimpse of the illustrious warrior, and to afford him, by their voices, a token of the affectionate admiration with which he is regarded by all Spaniards. From day break until twilight the windows, the balconies, and the very roof-tops in the neighbourhood have been thronged by the populace. Thrice in the course o f the first morning were the doors of his dwelling-house broken open by the people. " They rushed to his presence," says one who has witnessed this popular delirium—" they lifted him from the ground —they fell at his feet—they embraced the hem of his coat—and hundreds of them wept and sobbed like children." Although we place no re liance whatever upon the perm anence of a devotion so voc iferous, and which dis plays itself in acts of such tumultuous extravagance, it is impossible to observe this spectacle of excitement without experiencing emo :io.ns of a profound and respectful sympathy. Spain is so pt rillously situated, both i n a geoqraphical, a coin- Inerci a . I, and a dynastic sense, as to render a move ment like' this one of a very peculiar importance. The inhabit an t s o f th e P en i n sula have been s o monstrous ly deceived by their rulers, and so infamously cajoled by the diplomatists of a crafty Cabinet, that the most phlegmatic must forgive them when their aspirations for national redemption impel them to these evi dences of love and reverence for the only statesman who has enhanced his military glory by his legisla tive wisdom, who has given them security by his conquests, and prosperity by his administration, and who has, above all, acquired immortality for himself :in the history of his native land, scarcely so much by tile capacity of his genius as by the operation of his brilliant and uncompromising patriotism. There is something, therefore', in the welcome 1 OE Vied to ESPARTERO by his countryraen be yond the mere ebullition of a long-pent rap ture ; there is in it so much that is au ° - elated ,'wit' the hopes for the preservation of TBE SUN, LONb ON, MONDAY EVEN 11 4 1 G, JANCARY 11, 1848. their common nationality, and the vindication of their common independence, that a more than ephe• meral interes itself to the smallest incidents which have t- r 4 nliel the progress of this renowned soldier since his departure from the scenes of his exile in London. In tracking that progress we are watching one of the most interesting phases in the career of, perhaps, the most remarkable adventurer in our times. After a seclusion of four years in Eng land, ESPARTERO is summoned homewards by the invitation of his SOVEREIGN. The vicissitudes of political events again lure him from privacy to pub licity, again elevate him from a private individual to a powerful and conspicuous chieftain. In obe dience to the entreaties dispatched to him from his Government, ESPARTERO hastens from his villa in the Regent's-park to participate in the struggles which are being made in the cause of her Most Catholic MAJESTY by the senators of ISABELLA. On landing (January 4th) at San Sebastian he is received by its inhabitants with shouts of delight ; the Commandant of Carabineers, accompanied by the municipal authorities, canveys him in a triumphal barge from the steamer to the quay ; on pressing his foot once more on the soil of Spain he is welcomed with renewed acclamations—with acclamations worthy of saluting the ears of the conqueror of Morella and Luchana. The civilians conduct him to his residence; picked companies from the garrison defile before his windows, their colours flying, and their musicians playing an old Castilian march dear to his heart and familiar to his senses. A guard of honour is posted in the doorway; ,ESPARTERO is serenaded in the evening; all San Sebastian is animated with one sentiment of devotion. On the Ilernani-road the Basques are hurrying down the mountains to obtain a glance as he gallops onwards; in every village he is impeded by the congratulations of the Ayunta mientos ; at Bergara he is compelled to depart by stratagem, to avoid being taken from his carriage and borne on the shoulders of its inhabitants. From the gates of Vittoria his journey becomes an ovation, and he enters Madrid before the dawn of the 7th inst., and is greeted with the frenzy we have already de scribed. Nothing could by possibility have exceeded the fervour of his reception. He is not only the lion of the day, he is the idol of the whole population. So passionate were the demonstrations of rapture on the morning of his arrival in the capital that ESPARTERO is said to have " cried like a woman," and to have entreated the crowd, " if they did not mean to break his heart with joy," to take their de parture. Towards nightfall he was admitted to an audience by Queen IsAuELLA, and, as might be conjectured, was welcomed not only with kindness, hut with affection. The young QUEEN implored him to see her frequently— " every day, every hour, if he wished to cause her pleasure." Among the other inquiries made by the Duke of VICTORY on this occasion was the question, " Whether her MAJESTY was happy ? " One inci dent is recorded as having taken pace on the following morning (January s), which evidences a manly sensibility redoundin:;• to the honour of ESPARTERO. A young man presented himself to offer his congratulations. " Who are you ?" said the General. " Soy higo de ZURBANO," was the reply, " I am the son of ZURDANO " ESPARTERO wept. There is immeasurably more in all this ecstacy of enthusiasm than an expression of popular idolatry. Had we thought otherwise we should not have dilated upon the details of the delirium which is just now prevalent throughout Madrid. To us there is dis cernible, in an excitement so extreme, an after th3u3ht greater than that of affording a fitting reception to a single patriot, even though that patriot be Don BALDOMERO ESPARTERO. The unanimity of all parties, the participation of the QUEEN and the people in the same predominant feelings is, to say the least, significant. To us it appears to be the preliminary to a vital and mo mentous contest—a contest in which the Afran cesados may be extinguished. Of this great struggle of Spanish patriotism the Dukes of - VICTORY and VALENCIA are to be the leaders—of its speedy and successful consummation may the precursor prove to be ESPARTERO. We have, on several occasions, referred to the con troversy as to the extent and nature of the license of counsel which has been originated by the Fublished opinion of Mr. DlGux SEYMOUR—by his opinion, we sty, as we have already proved, as well from the Learned Gentleman's own statement as from a care ful examination of the evidence adduced on both trials—that in his case the question did not really arise. We shall new proceed to consider the duties of the different parties upon whom the future fate of the Prisoner—his life or death, his freedom or captivity, the restoration of his character or his perpetual infamy —mainly depends—viz., his jury, his judge, and his advocate. The duty of a juryman is embodied in the lan guage of the oath or affirmation that must be administered to him before he is permitted to enter upon the investigation. He is "a true verdict to give, according to the evidence." lie is to dismiss from his mind every impression he may have received foreign to, or dekors, the evidence. Though he may have the strongest moral conviction of the prisoner's guilt, he is bound to remove it wholly from his mind, and to decide in accordance with the testimony which has been adduced, and to be influenced by that alone. The duty of the judge is to direct the jury as to the proper manner of discharging their duty—to guard them against any impressions from extrinsic sources—to warn them against the influence of pre judice, zeal, or opinion—to explain the due weight and bearing of the evidence, and its applicability to the leading points in issue. It, is his duty to remind the jury that the law of England tempers justice with mercy, and that, if a reasonable doubt should arise upon the evidenc ' , they are bound to give the prisoner the benefit thereof. He is, in fact, the mo derator of the forensic dispute. Lastly, the advocate, in the discharge of his duty, is concerned upon the evidence—with the evidence— about the evidence—and that only. The instant be travels from it he oversteps the line of his duty. He is not to misquote the evidence, or to state that that has been sworn by a witness which in truth was not sworn. He is not to fling his personal character, or personal belief, into the scale—for in so doing he would become a witness; nor is he, no matter on what grounds, or from what private sources of infor mation, to condemn, or relax his exertions for the acquittal of, his client—for in so doing he would become a judge. When the law concedes to him the solemn privilege of keeping his client's secrets, and declares that, no matter how urgent the circumstances, public or pri vate, may be, or how important soever the disclosure might prove to the highest interests of the community, he is not only er.titled, but absolutely bound to make no revelation, it regards not the counsel but the client. The privilege is not conceded for the benefit of the advocate—it is the prerogative of the accused ; and when the client is thus encouraged to repose an un limited confidence in his counsel, can it for a moment be said to consist with this wise and just provision that the counsel so confided in should suffer any state ments made to him by his client to operate in any manner whatsoever against that client, whether by inducing him to alter the line of defence he would otherwise have adopted, or to refrain t t h h e e t arguments d which f e t s h t e l y actual f e r v o i In d e n c u e r g 1 o n n g gest—whether in determining him to allude merely to points tof law, or, still worse, to damn his W e c c , l h o l igu n a o t t th Las en aps.errotpthare de finition c o client u n s e b l y is a n f o a t i faint u d n e d fe defence ? moral in sist that he is eminently so. And be—as we are told by those who profess to speak Is cathedra—" that a counsel is bound to frame the best defence in his power from the evidence gi v e n at the trial, provided that in doing so he violates no moral obligation," we accept the d e fi n i t i on, and as counsel is fidelity d imposeselity this to his c ordially concur therein, but we hold that the first client.moral obligation ryatvioenhe is to character observe He is no doubt to avoid doing obligation upon hire. any unnecessary injury to others, but he must not, in his efforts to observe one moral obligation, violate or trample upon another. In commenting upon the views put forward by Mr. Szysiona, some of our Contemporaries have given expre ss i on to op i n i ons on th e su bject with which we cannot coincide. " On any terms (says one of the most powerful) we .conceive it to be inexcusable that an ad vocate should endeavour to gain, by deluding the court and the jury, that which he absolutely knows of his own knowledge to be a false verdict." And this is laid down as a principle, " whether the question be one of a farthing damages or of a human life." What is intended by the expression "knows of his own know ledge," as applied to the case of an advocate P We cannot say, unless it be belief and moral certainty. An advocate, properly speaking, has no knowledge of his own in any case wherein his services are engaged. All his information is mediate and communicated, all his " knowledge" is opinion drawn from the statements of others. If, then, our Contemporary means (and we can infer no other meaning from the words we have quoted) that no advocate is justified in endeavouring to gain a verdict for a client, when he believes in his own mind that the cause of that client is unjust and without merits, there is an end to all judicial inquiry, and trial by jury is a piece of useless ma chinery. In a civil cause no debtor can confide in his advocate, lest he admit the debt and lose the benefit of that counsel's exertions. In a criminal case, if a prisoner confesses his guilt, or makes ad missions which in his counsel's opinion criminate him (for, after all, this is what is popularly called confession), he may be tried and condemned on the most insufficient evidence, for his counsel must " not delude the jury into a verdict he knows to be false.' Let us suppose an action for libel brought against our Contemporary ; how would he be startled by hearing the counsel retained for his defence say— " I believe this charge to be true. The libel is a malicious one. I know it to be so from the perusal of my brief. I must not delude the jury. I can watch the case, but no more." In our opinion the defendant in a civil cause and the prisoner in a criminal proceeding are to be tried by the evidence alone. This is the true and constitutional rule. Every argument which is opened on that evidence is free and lawful to counsel. Let any rule short of this be laid down, and then in the words of Mr. DIGBY SEYMOUR, " The relation of counsel and client will be deranged, their mutual confidence inter rupted, and the principle of advocacy will be abolished altogether." But our Contemporary goes still further, and observes, " We more than doubt if when a client has confessed himself to be guilty of a crime counsel are justified in doing more than watching that he is only condemned according to the strict forms of law." But, first, is it not possible that statements which amount in the judgment of one counsel to a confession of guilt, may in the mind of another be reconcilable with innocence P What form of confession then is that to be which is to exclude a prisoner from the benefit of counsel ? May not the confession be contradictory ? In REID'S case, his counsel " did not believe " his statements. How then is counsel to act ? Suppose such cases as those which have actually happened, that a man is charged with a murder, of which his own brother or father was guilty, and that to save that brother's or father's life he " confessed" his own guilt. What then is to be done? Is counsel only "to watch that he is condemned according to the strict form of law ?" But, secondly, as we have already said, what is the meaning of a counsel's privilege? Why cannot a counsel be compelled to become a witness against his client ? Because the principle of the British law is, that whatever a client states to his advocate is not to weigh in any manner against him. Counsel is " not to hurry into the witness-box to ruin and betray him." Nor is a prisoner however guilty to be condemned before his trial, and to lose his life because he has confided in his counsel. Our space this day does not permit us to continue the observations we had intended on this subject, but we shall hereafter consider other arguments that have been adduced, and see how far they will bear a calm and dispasionate examination. A letter from Rome of the Bth says—" The city of Rome was very agitated in the commencement of the year. For some days reports were in circulation that public tranquillity would be disturbed on New Year's Day. They even went so far as to speak of a hostile demonstration, which would take place under the windows of the POPE, and even in the inner courts of the Quirinal. The Government considered it neces sary to adopt extraordinary measures of precaution. The Rates of the Quirinal were closed, the posts of the civic guard were doubled, and it is said that the muskets of the soldiers were loaded. These unusual measures excited the attention of the public, and caused much uneasiness in the minds of the people. The civic guard in particular showed itself offended by the distrust evinced by the Government. No one would admit the idea that the idol of the people, that Pius IX. could ever incur any personal danger, and a suspicion which it knew it did not merit, was rejected as insulting by the people of Rome. Discontent became very loud, and it was talked of obtaining satisfaction, and some members of the municipality went in the evening of the 2d to the Pops to make known to him the state of affairs. The POPE scarcely ever goes out on Sunday, but, nevertheless, it was thought advisable, in order to appease the general emotion, that his HOLINUS should show himself in the most frequented streets. He, in fact, went out with only two car riages, and escorted only by four noble guards. The people welcomed him enthusiastically —the crowd was immense. When the POPE arrived in the Corso the two carriages were surrounded by a mass of people who uttered the most deafening shouts of Down with the police' Down with the Jesuits Dawn with the Governor of Rome.' At this moment a deplorable scene took place. The people began to cry out at the carriage door of the POPE, they mounted on the steps, and there was a regular scene of confusion. The crowd wished to accompany the POPE to the Quirinal, and the cele brated CICCRYACCHIO did not hesitate to instal him. self behind the second carriage, bearing a large pla card, on which was written Justice, Holy Father of the people.' He entered with the carriage into the court of the Palace. On the following day the jour nals spoke of this promenade as a real satisfaction given to the Roman people. After some days silence the Government decided on expressing its disappro bation of such a demonstration, and it published an article in the official journal to that effect." On the 9th another demonstration took place at Milan, but order was not disturbed. The people abandoned the promenades, the Corso di Porta Orien tale, and the Corso Francesco, which are generally frequented, and went ex masse to the Corso di Porta Romana, on which some one had written " Corso di Pio Nono,"in large letters, that being the name which the people have given to that promenade. The police were entirely ignorant that this movement of the people was intended, and had sent troops to the pro menade ordinarily frequented. On the same day the people went to the theatre, after having abstained from visiting it for three days as a mark of mourn ing. They remained perfectly quiet during the performances. The VICEROY has issued a new pro clamation, couched in kind terms. In it he assures the people, whom he calls his " dear Milanese," that he has the means of maintaining public order, and of watching over their personal safety. He renews to them " the expression of his well-founded hopes to see the wishes which had been legally expressed to him, and which have been, or are about to be placed at the foot of the throne, taken into consideration by the sovereign wisdom, and favourably received by the grace of his MAJESTY." He warns them against believing false news, spread to keep alive alarm and agitation, and asserts that in no part of the provinces has order been troubled. And, as he says, reciprocal confidence will always be the most fecund source of all good, he calls on the people to trust in him as he trusts in them. In consequence of the recent disturbances at Leg horn, the grand Duke of TUSCANY has issued a procla mation, in whickhe states that, whilst he is resolved to persevere in the cause of reform, he will take the most prompt and vigorous measures to put down all illegal manifestations. A commission, consisting of the Minister of the Interior, the Procurator-General, and the Cammander-in-Chief of the army, left Florence for Leghorn to restore order. A letter from Turin says : " A battery of artillery left yesterday for Genoa, and other troops will follow to-morrow, and it is said that other regiments from other parts of the kingdom are ordered to the same point. The motive for this military movement is not well known ; by some it is said to be caused by the disturbances at Leghorn, and others state that the 7 are to ehlbark to go the mist- I ance of the Pope, and of the Grand Duke of Tus cany. The Jesuits at Genoa have closed their churches and their convents; some have retired to Nice, and others to Montebello. The details re ceived from Milan of the events which have taken place there mention the number of killed and wounded as greater than was at first mentioned. Count Casati, Mayor of Milan, bas left for Vienna. M. Decio, Councillor of State, although devoted to the Government, has tendered his resignation. The Canon Opizzoni, cure of the Dome, said in presence of the Viceroy and the authorities, lam eighty-five years of age, I have seen the Russians, the French, and the Austrians enter as conquerors into Milan ; but never have I seen such a day as on the 3d instant, I have never seen the people a ssass i na t e d i n th e streets.' The Archbishop, preaching at the cathedral, concluded his sermon by these words, unite your prayers to mine, in order that those who govern us may be more just, and more humane.' " The Resorgimento, of the 11th instant, announces that an order has been published at Turin, that the contingent of 1826, which was to have been replaced by that of 1827, should still remain embodied. The infantry contingent of the year 1825 is called out entire. The artillery contingent of the year 1824 is equally called out, as well as the light infantry of the year 1823. The officers and sub•officers who were on leave are recalled to their duty. Orders have also been given to put all the fortified places in a state of defence. The publication of this order, it is said, added to the municipal and proyin • cial law, has caused an extraordinary sensation at Turin, and a great number of workmen belonging to the contingents, which have not been called out, have demanded to rejoin. These orders have emanated entirely from the KING, and are consi dered as a large compensation for his refusal to accede to the petition of the Genoese, and as much more efficacious for the maintenance of the independence of Italy. The ltaliano of Bologna, of the Bth, has the fol lowing : " The new Duke of Parma left Modena precipi tately after a serious altercation with the Duke of Modena, in which he declared that ha regards as null and void the convention of 1844, for the cession of Guastalla, in return for a loan of four million francs ; that he is ready to refund the money, but not to deliver up the town. The same journal mentions a rather extraordinary rumour, viz., that the Duke of Parma has declared apocryphal the manifesto of the 26th ult. issued in his name, and has applied to the King of Sardinia to deliver him from the occupation of his states by Austrian troops." We have received intelligence from Portugal by thc) steam-ship Montrose, which arrived at Southamp ton on Saturday. The Montrose left Gibraltar Jan. 3d; Cadiz, 4th; Lisbon, gth ; Oporto, 10th; and Vigo, I I th. The Cortes was opened on the 2d by the QuERN in person. The absence of the English Ambassador from the ceremony was remarked upon, as was the fact, that the English squadron omitted paying the usual compliment of firing a royal salute. These cir cumstances were considered as a protest on the part of the British Government against the bad faith with which the QUEEN had evaded carrying out the provi sions of the protocol, and against the illegality, violence, and corruptions by which the elections had been carried. In consequence of the non-arrival of the steamer from Oporto with the deputies of the Northern Provinces it has as yet been impossible to make a House to proceed to business. The news of the loss of the Avenger (commanded by the step-son of the Admiral) had caused a profound sensation of grief in Lisbon. The news was brought by the Montrose, and at the time of her arrival Sir CHARLES NAPIER was at his own house, with several of his captains and a few other visitors, and had just finished a rubber at whist, when the officer on duty entered the room with the dispatches. To the usual careless inquiry what news the packet had brought, the officer, unwilling, no doubt, to be the first messenger of sorrowful tidings, returned no answer. The question was repeated. "What news from the south ?" "The Avenger has been lost." "The Avenger lost !" • • . A. long deep pause, telling more than words could express of the emotion working a ithin. " Crew saved?" Another pause. " No, sir, all lost but an as sistant surgeon, two petty officers, and five seamen." • . . The Admiral slowly rose, and, taking up the dispatches, still unopened, retired silently to his bed-room. The visitors, not one of whom had uttered a word during this scene, - then moved to withdraw, but Captain DACRES (the flag captain) recommended them to sit still, which they did. In about a quarter of an hour Sir CHARLES re-entered the room with an open letter in his hand. Address ing one of the gentlemen present, he said, there is a passage in this (it was from the captain of a French war-steamer), which I do not rightly understand. The ambiguity of the phrase seemed to hold out a hope that there had been only eight men drowned, not, only eight men saved, but that hope soon disappeared, for all the French scholars present were compelled, however reluctantly, to give the seemingly dubious passage its painfully real interpretation. The Admiral then retired again in silence, and the guests withdrew. Ever since then, the answer to all visitors is that Sir CHARLES Nerusu cannot receive any one. The Government has addressed notes to the British, French, and Spanish Ministers, announcing to them, for the information of their respective Governments, that the last of the conditions of the Protocol having been fulfilled by the assembling of the Cortes, that Convention has become a dead letter. It is said that Sir HAMILTON SEYMOUR has replied to this commu nication by a formal protest to the contrary effect, reiterating all his preceding remonstrances against the illegal and fraudulent means employed to secure the return of a Cortes in the interest of the two 4 Cabrals. The Conde DE TROMAR (COSTA CABEAL) has been appointed Ambassador t o P ar i s, and the D u k e o f TERCEIRA Ambassador to Vienna.

The Gacela contradicts the statement published by the Eco del Comereio, to the effect that SARTORIUS had waited on General ESPARTERO by order of NAR VABz. No member of the Cabinet has as yet called on the Duke of VICTORY. El Siglo states that ESPARTERO was received by the QUEEN in the kindest and most flattering manner. Her MAJESTY told him that she had felt great pain at his long exile ; and EiPARTEEO answered that, notwithstanding he had undergone all the bitterness of exile, he had never ceased to offer up fervent wishes for his QUEEN and country. When be was about to take leave of her Majesty, she said that she should be delighted to see him often at the palace. To this compliment ESPARTERO replied, "Madame, I will come at any hour your MAJESTY requires me and sends for me ;" and, in answer to a question of the QUEEN, he added, that his motive for so acting was, that he might not incur disagreeable suspicions or private rivalries. The Clamor Publico states that, on arriving in the night, the General had to ask his way of a watchman, and the Siglo records that a young man having waited on him t o congratulate him on his retur n , E SPARTERO as k e d him who he was, when he received for answer, " I am the son of ZUR neNo I" a reply which, it says, caus ed such gre a t emotion to the Ge nera l th a t h e w as deeply affected during the remainder of the day. Since his return to Madrid the General has received in telligence of the death of his faithful friend, General LINAGE. This has considerably affected him, and has contributed perhaps to determine him to go to Logrono to meet the Duchess of Viczoity, as soon as he has taken the oath as Senator. On the Bth crowds continued to sur round the house in which he resides, and in con sequence the vicinities of it were occupied by strong detachments of troops, a precaution totally unnecessary, as the utmost tranquillity prevailed, and one, moreover, which was considered by the Progre ss i s t a venerable party as most insulting. Among the visitor s t o G eneral ESPARTERO on t h e Bth were t h e Couzios, Duke of Baylen, General FlilN CISCO NARVAEZ, and the Generals JOSE and MANUEL CONCHA. The Clamor Publico announces that Dr. SANCHEZ, one of the QUEEN'S physicians, has taken up his re sidence in the Palace, in order to be able to watch more closely over the health of her MAJESTY. The bank of San Fernando had received 14,000 ounces of gold. The Heraldo declares that there is no truth in the reports which were current, of the Cortes being about to be suspended or dissolved, and of M. SARTORIUS having received a title of nobility.

The debate on the paragraph in the Address re lating to the affairs of Switzerland was continued in the Chamber of Peers on Friday and Saturday. Count MONTALEMBERT made a most eloquent speech in defence of the Jesuits and the Sonderbund—a speech which, as the Constitutionnel says, "dis played great talent in a detestable cause." There is much good sense in the following observations of the Siecla : " It may be permitted to the vanquished to attempt to interest their powerful neighbours in their fate, but the voice of truth is louder than the clamour of despair. If the popular feeling had energetically supported the Sonderbund in the Seven Cantons, the result of the contest would have been different. The action of the Diet was energetic and prompt, but it would not have sufficed to destroy the Son derbund if the Federal cam had not been that of the people." On Saturday M. GUIZOT addressed the Chamber in defence of his Swiss policy, and of course abused the Federal Government, and eulogised the Jesuits and the Sonderbund. The debate was adjourned at the conclusion of the speech of M. GUIZOT. The retrograde policy of M. GuizoT is beginning to produce that effect which we have so frequently declared it would produce in France. It has alienated the friends without conciliating the enemies of the dynasty, and the first use the Jesuits make of the Ministerial favour is to endeavour to excite a move ment in opposition to the family of the KINO, of whom M. GUIZOT is the Minister. Perhaps, however, M. GUIZOT may be contemplating a journey to Neuf chatel, as of yore he journeyed to Ghent. It will not be the first tacit understanding he has had with the Jesuit party. As a proof of the effects produced by his ill-timed concessions to, and eulogies on the parti pretre, we give the following from the Na• tional " The Duchess of Bordeaux is enciente ; at least the clergy are spreading the report, in order to excite the lukewarm zeal of the partisans of the elder branch, and to hold in check the younger one. In all the churches of Paris prayers are being offered up, im ploring God to cause the trunk of St. Louis to again send forth shoots, and to perpetuate the reign of our most Christian kings, which implies their previous restoration to the throne. These prayers commenced at St. Thomas d'Aquin. We wish to ask Mgr. Affre, loaded as he is with all the favours of the Holy Spirit, and of the King of the French, if he has any know ledge of a little printed paper which is distributed in the vestry-rooms, the confessionals, and, in fact, in all holy places. If he knows of it, he has authorised, or at least tolerated it. If he is not aware of it—but that is not possible, as Monseigneur cannot be classed amongst the lazy archbishops. But, in order that the document may not be denied, here is the curious and edifying production. At top may be seen the mono- I gram of one of our thousand resuscitated associations, an A and an M twined together, and below a branch of oak united to a lily stem, loaded with flowers and buds. An ingenious and touching allegory is it not t QUIRANTAINE OR ?RATERS TO THE MOST HOLY VIRGIN, TO IMPLORE GOD TO PERPETUATE THE RACE OF ST. LOUIS. " Lord have pity on us; Jesus, hear us; Jesus grant our prayers Holy Ghost have pity on us : Holy and fruitful Trinity, have pity on us. St. Mary, Mother of Jesus, pray for us : St. Michael, St. Denis, St. Remy, St. Louis, patrons and pro tectors of France, pray for us : St. Anne, pray for her : St. Clotilda, pray for her : St. Radegonda, pray for her : St. Bathilda, pray for her : St. Joan, pray for her : St. Theresa, pray for her : by our lady of Loretto, hear her, 0 Lord : by our lady of Liessa, hear her, 0 Lord ! by our lady of Paris, grant, 0 Lord, her wishes and her hopes. Remember, 0 most holy Virgin Mary, your ancient mercies towards France, and, as in other times, let our prayers be fully successful with your divine Son. " PRAYER. "0 holy Virgin; divine Mary; mother of our divine Saviour; full of the remembrance of your ancient kindness, humbly bent down at your feet, we beseech your maternal heart to solict from Jesus Christ, your Son, a favour in behalf of France, which you have so much loved. By your fecundity, so agreeable to God, obtain from him that he may cause the stem of St. Louis to flower again, for the honour of his holy name, for the glory of religion, the hap piness and liberty of nations, and the perpetuity of the reign of our most Christian kings. Amen. Three paters and three Ayes." The Moniteur publishes an account of the indirect revenue for 1847. Compared with 1846 there is a general diminution to the amount of 2,648,000 f. The total amount of the indirect revenue of France amounts for 1847 to 820,645,000 f. Somewhat serious disturbances have just taken place among the workmen employed on the viaduct of the Indre, on the railway from Tours to Bordeaux. The men demanded, it appears, an increase of pay. The peasants in the vicinity, who are annoyed at seeing strangers exclusively employed on the works, took part in the disturbances. Several foremen were wounded, and a workman was killed. The military and gendarmerie had to be called out, but when they arrived at the spot the disturbances had ceased. The Committee of the Chamber of Deputies ap pointed to draw up the_Address completed its labours on Saturday. The Patrie of Sunday, says, that the KING was so much indisposed that he was unable to attend a Council of Ministers held .at the Tuileries. The rumour relative to the KING'S illness created con siderable agitation among the speculators at the Pas• sage de l'Opera on Saturday evening. The French Three per Cents., which closed at the Bourse at 74f. 15c.. went down all of a sudden to 73f. 65c. They afterwards recovered partially, and left off at 73f. 75c.

ROYAL NAVAL BENEVOLENT SOCIETY.—(THIS DAY.) The quarterly court of subscribers to this institution was held this day, at the Thatched House Tavern, St . James's-street, Vice-Admiral Sir Charles Malcolm in the chair. The minutes of the preceding general meeting having been confirmed, The SECRETARY read the quarter's report of the society's proceedings, from which it appeared that there had been 103 new members, and, deducting deaths and retirements, an increase of eleven. The subscriptions for the past quarter amounted to 3151. Os. 4d., which, with the balance left at the former meeting, made a total of 1,2331. Os. 4d. The report was adopted by a large majority, and thanks having been voted to the gallant chairman, the meeting separated. Sir Benjamin Hall, Bart., is spending the present Parliamentary recess in domestic privacy at his seat, Llanover Court, Monmouthshire. The Hon. Baronet has recovered from the attack of rheumatism, which was the effect of a severe drenching caught when invoking Diana some weeks previous. FEMALE SrißlT.—The following . spirited notice appears in the last week's Western 1 tmes, amongst its usual advertisements:--" Whereas my bu.band, Charles new Canes, having advertised that he will not be an swerable for any debts I may contract, I hereby beg leave to state that my friends and the public need be under no apprehension on this account. I always paid my way before my unfortunate marriage with the said Charles Rew Canes, and if not burdened with the debts of any one else, I doubt not that I shall be able to do so still, although, instead of having a husband to help me, I have an enemy in a quarter where I had a right to look for a protector. MARY ANN CANEB.—Jan. 6, 1846." DINNER TO THE MEMBERS YOB, THE WEST RIDING.—We understand that a public dinner is contem plated to be given to Lord Morpeth and Mr. Cobden, and that the leading members of the respective commit tees of those gentlemen are favourable to the project. The arrangements would probably have been made at once, but for the serious illness of the Earl of Carlisle, which has caused the originators to fix upon the Easter recess as a most suitable period for this celebration. — Leeds Mercury. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool on Saturday was steady; sales, 3,000 bales.—Railway Shires were in fair demand and well supported. The accounts received by the Ilibernia steamer are very favourable for this country, but somewhat unsatis factory for America. ;It is stated in a New York journal that— " The demand from the Government for money has already commenced. A call has already been made for four millions of dollars, to meet the deficiency in the estimates, on account of the war expenditures. This amount will have to be raised at once, by an issue of Treasury notes, on account of the old loan, if the amount authorised is not already exhausted. These Trea sury notes must be sold for specie at some price, and the bidders for the last loan will have to submit to a loss of one or two per cent. on them. Here are four millions of dollars in specie to be drawn at once from the chan nels of commerce, and its withdrawal must create con siderabl e contract i ons i n th e operations of the balks. This is the beginning of the end; it is but the com mencement of a drain, the extent of which is as un limited as the Mexican war. " The importations for the past few weeks have been comparatively limited, and the revenue from customs cor respondingly small. The resources of the Government have, therefore, been reduced, and the deficiency in the estimates, in the beginning of the new year will be large enough to give a revenue from customs full as large as that estimated by the Secretary of the Treasury. It must be borne in mind that to give this income from Customs, the importations must be exceed- ingly large, and that these importations will have to be paid for. What are not paid f or i n exports o f merchan dise, must be paid for in specie. The larger the impor tation, the greater the demand upon the banks for specie to pay into the Custom-house for duties and for shipment to Europe." The banks were generally much beyond their fair circulation in proportion to the specie held, and several had in consequence already gone "to the wall." Cotton and corn were quiet. The advices received to-day from the Continent are not of a cheerful character. More failures are an nounced in Germany, although we are glad to find that Messrs. Kusel had resumed. Money was easy, not withstanding, both at Frankfort and Hamburgh, and the exchange was more in favour of England. The Funds have been fluctuating a little tc..day, the result both of the accounts from abroad and the arrange ments for settling the account. The report early in the day that Louis Philippe was again indisposed induced some forced sales, but a little stock was taken at 86i to 87, the following bargains being at 871. The later accounts from Pari■ contradict the state meats about the King, and the further large arrivals of bullion have a favourable effect. Within the last three days probably about a quarter of a million sterling has been received in London alone. Exchequer-bills realise 255. to 275. premium.
