It is true, that his Lordship did not travel through various parts of the country, that he could not have seen with his own eyes, and consequently could not himself judge of neglected opportunities and wasted means, of the great fertility of its soil, the low state of its agriculture, the want of employment for its labouring population. He was enabled, how ever, to receive fully and clearly the views and opinions of the distinguished nobleman who now acts as the representative of' our most Gracious SOVEREIGN in that country. These views could be more fully developed in private explanations and familiar conversation than would be practicable by formal official correspondence. The absolute ne cessity of stimulating the industrial energies of the country, of providing or rather affording the means by which useful employment might be provided for those who are both able and willing to work, might have been, and, we doubt not, was fully and distinctly pressed upon his notice. Various deputations also waited upon him, who urged the lamentable condition of the labouring classes in their respective districts, and the inability of the property of the country to support them in perfect idleness. Everything brought under his notice must have helped to convince him of the great truth which we have repeatedly put forward—" that the true cure for Ireland is the development of her industry " " that the practical remedy for her grievances and her sufferings is full and ample employment fur her people." There is, perhaps, no other country in the world in which so many channels exist for the beneficial investment of capital, the profitable employment of the population. It possesses un• bounded natural resources, every requisite for na tional wealth—lands of the greatest fertility, mines and collieries of the richest promise, the ocean by which it is surrounded, the bays and harbours by which it is indented, teeming with fish, an ample supply of fuel, and water-power for working ma chinery of any description, a quick and ready-witted population, whose sinews and muscles afford an in exhaustible mine of wealth —of real capital ready for immediate application ; and yet witl all these extraordinary advantages, its agri culture, mining, fisheries, trade, and manufac tures are all imperfect, and quite inadequate to the wants and exigencies of the country. If there are innumerable anodes of creating national wealth by the judicious application of labour, there is also an abundance of labour remaining idle and un productive, a burden upon the national resources- The simple question appears to be, whether it is more desirable to have the population well fed and herd 'worked, or half-starred, dispirited, and unemployed 'r A long course of neglect and misgovernment pro duced these untoward results—an embarrassed pro prietary, an impoverished tenantry, a destitute and miserable peasantry. All classes suffer alike. It is a national grievance from which none are exempted. It would, therefore, become all to lay their shoulders to the wheel to co-operate together for the good of their common country, to endeavour to effect her elevation in the scale of nations. If a tithe of the organization and zeal that has been applied to the agitation of some political question, the attainment of which would be productive of no practical benefit to the great body of the people, were directed to obtain the rae us of setti ng th e i n d us t r y o f the country in motion, We should long since have had a prosperous, a napp y , and there would b e a contented nation. On every side tranquillity and order. A busy people ha ve leisure for the commission of outrage orn° disturbance, but those who are draggi ng on necessarie s existence, scarcely obtaining the bar e in the hande e o s f Baries of life, are fitting in strumentsra'schievous and designing m rpeen, ready to indicated. Theplrishtr ateeasany atrocity th at may b e easily contented peoplep. t an s t a r are a gr a t e f u l an d really desire to imp rove their coedl them that you not seek to obtain a n y unfair advatnmtn—that you d o reasonable gain —rem unerate them f a a g r e l , or any un you may require At their hands— and i fairly for w h at them sober, industrious, and well-di s poseyd.o Nt s 'l ci i find ex perience has, however, rendered th em • suspicious; distrust is easily excited, and when that is th e case, they endeavour to oppose craft and cunning to the power of their employers, and thus t o neutralize the supf ?rior advantages which they are supposed to possess. Never has there been a period when that peasantry - could have been so easily con ciliated and won over by the display of kindness and benignity as at tk'e present moment. They have learned the futility :arid fallacy of the doctrines that have so long been preached by wicked and designing men; they have discoured the true strength and power of thi: country, and they will speedily believe that thtir interests will be promoted rather by cementing more closely the bonds by which the nations are united —by making ngland arid Ireland one country, with equal privi leges for all inhabitants, than by any separate government that could be established. But this cannot be achieved without some exertion on our part. It is not by branding them as aliens, that they will be taught to submit to a united Government—it is not by calling them lazy, improvident and idle, that their industry will be stimulated—it is not by grudg ingly supplying the mere support that cannot be withheld, that we can deserve or will obtain their gra titude. Lord JOHN RUSSELL may have learned these home truths during his sojourn in the Irish metropolis, he will have an opportunity of considering calmly and attentively the causes of Irish miseries and dis tress during his brief respite from legislative labour and the strife of party warfare. We believe that he is actuated by a sincere desire to do all in his power to ameliorate the condition of the people. He must not suffer himself to be fettered by narrow views and prejudices, or believe that the labour of a country must remain idle and unproductive because there is a scarcity of bullion—of the mere representative of capital. As we last week pointed out, the circulation of Ireland is utterly inadequate to its population and real wealth, the very lifeblood of industry is wanting; to supply a currency that will be sufficient should be his first object, to put the various sources of wealth in motion should follow. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. GE_RATANY We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The Presse gives the following as the actual state of the Austro-Italian question, and from the known connexion of M. EminE DE GiaAnDix with the reactionary party throughout Europe, we consider that this account is very probably a correct &scrip tion of the views and intentions of Austria in accept ing the Anglo-Gallic mediation. The Presse says— " If we have hitherto abstained from alluding to the different versions published by the Paris press as to the recent reply of the Austrian Cabinet to the offer of me diation by France and England, it is because we were well aware that the dispatch received by the Minister for Foreign Affairs from Vienna made no mention of the conditions and reservations on which, according to our contemporaries, Austria had made the acceptance of the mediation to depend. " A simple exposé of historical facts will prove how much of those statements has been erroneous, or at least surmise. " We have before alluded to the pressing invitation addressed to the Court of Vienna by the French Go vernment. Our Cabinet demanded that Austria should give a categorical reply, yes or no, to the offer of me diation. AND THE NORTHERN STATES AUSTRIA. The Wiener Zeitung of the 6th inst. officially an nounces that Field-Marshal RADETZKY has again notified, under date of the 28th August, that all poli tical fugitives, who are truly Austrian subjects, are permitted to return without molestation or fear of the administration of justice for their past misde meanours. The Minister of War, in a public notification, an nounces that independently of the trophies in arms and artillery at the taking of Vicenza, Treviso, aid Palma, the Royal Imperial troops have taken at Austozza alone 15 cannons, 5 howitzers, and at Pizzighettone, Milan, Peschiera, Brescia, and Pla centia 258 cannons, 28 howitzers, and 18 mortars of different calibre, besides 37 munition carriages, and a large quantity of munition and other war stores. Several modifications are about to take place in the composition of the Cabinet, in consequence of the re signation of VON SCHWARTZEN, the Minister of Public Works. The Ministry of Public Works has been o&red to M. MAIER, Deputy at Frankfort. It is also said that DOBLHOFF will confide the portfolio of the Interior to BACH, and will himself take the port folio either of Public Worship or Instruction. " The dispatch containing that request was commu nicated on the 30th of last month to Baron de Wessen berg, the Austrian Minister for Foreign Affairs. He promised to bring the matter immediately before the Council, and to give a definitive answer in a few days. "The Austrian Council of Ministers assembled several times to consider of the subject, and on the 2d Baron de Wessenberg informed M. de Lacour that the Imperial Government had decided in the affirmative, and as the French Government had merely demanded a plain reply of Yes or No,' the Baron de Wessenberg merely con fined his answer to the simple ' Yes,' without giving any opinion on the bases proposed by France and Engalnd for the solution of the Italian question. "From this it results that up to this time the French Government only knows one thing, that the offer of me diation is accepted in principle by the Imperial Court. The question of knowing to what point it admits the plan for the pacification of Italy proposed by the two mediating powers remains at the moment intact. "From the information we have ourselves obtained, we can say that Austria, before giving any answer on this plan, wishes to regularise her relations with the French Republic, the recognition of which will only be officially accomplished on the day when the two Govern ments shall have duly accredited their representatives. The Emperor of Austria is about to appoint a Minister Plenipotentiary to Paris, and the request to do the same to Vienna has been already received by the French Minister for Foreign Affairs. " In the meantime, Baron de Wessenberg has given our chargo d'affaires at Vienna an assurance that he is about to seriously examine the propositions made by France and England; and that as soon as that examina tion shall have been completed he will draw up a de tailed reply, which will be communicated to the medi ating powers, as well as to the other powers parties to the final act of the Congress of Vienna—a step rendered necessary by the fact of the propositions made affect ing the system of the European balance of power as es tablished by the treaties of 1815. " In other words, Austria reserves to herself to give her final answer to the propositions under the form of a memorandum, addressed to all the powers of Europe. Nevertheless, it is established, that from this time, Austria has entered into a formal engagement with France and England to make use of their good offices to bring about the pacification of Italy. This is a power ful guarantee for the maintenance of peace. " There is, however, at the same time, reason to fear that the negotiations which are about to be opened be tween Austria and Sardinia, under the auspices of the mediating powers, will not produce so prompt a result ! I as might be desired. In the Ministry at Vienna there is said to be far from an unanimity of opinion on the bases to be laid down for the pacification of Italy. These plans divide the opinions of the Austrian Ministry. The first agreeing to the plan proposed by the mediating power proposes the line of the Adige as the extreme frontier of the Italian provinces of the em pire; the second claims, with the Central German Go vernment, the line of the Mincio; and the third, to maintain the political union of the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom with the Austrian empire, securing to the for mer a National Administration, ' independent of the Cen tral Government of Vienna. To complete this latter proposal, a son of the Archduke Regnier, an Italian Prince, born at Milan of Italian parents, is to be placed at the head of the Lombardo-Venetian Government. There are various plans for supplying a perfectly safe circulating medium based on actual property, and also of investing that capital beneficially, to which we shall advert on a future occasion. Paris, with all its apparent restoration to sobriety, is, even now, very far from being permanently trail:- quillised. Political passions are still seething in that great cauldron of revolutions—the hell-broth of revolt still boils and bubbles, though it may he in a manner of more subdued sullenness. We marvel not that such should be the case when we bear in recollection the variable and inconsistent policies of the three Governments which have succeeded each other since the memorable explosion of February. Nor is it a matter of the smallest astonishment to ourselves that the coming elections for the representation of the metropolitan department should be anticipated under existing circumstances with a certain degree of anxiety and nervousness. Can it—and we ask any honest man to answer us— can it be surprising that France is still a prey to this sensation of uncertainty, that Paris, in particular, is still wracked with the febrile pangs of agitation, when the very atmosphere in which both may be said to have existed has in the compass of a few brief months experienced such extraordinary revulsions from one extremity of the political barometer to the other? When at one moment the pulse of the nation has throbbed at fever heat under the influence of a complete and universal liberation—and when at another, the very blood of the community has been congealed by a panic, its limbs have been frozen, its heart petrified, and its brain benumbed under the refrigerating effects of a military dictatorship? When for the first three months the hold of Government has been relaxed, so that its reins have been ultimately thrown on to the neck of the Republic—and when during the next three months those reins have been gathered up by a strong hand, and tightened almost beyond the limits of endurance ? If extremes of an equal violence were applied to the physical condition of man, it is obvious that the result would necessarily be an appalling disarrangement of his constitution. If a native of a temperate climate were suddenly transported to the torrid zone, with the thermometer standing at ninety-eight Farenheit in the shade, and were then as suddenly conveyed to the arctic regions where boiling water thrown from the truck-head of a whaler is congealed into icicles before it reaches the deck—we conjecture that some very surprising, if not absolutely painful, andeven dangerous, changes would manifest themselves in the action of the vital organs, in the circulation of the animal juices, in the process of respiration, or in that of digestion, in every one, in short, of those " The third plan, although it has the majority of the Ministers in its favour, is far from being considered as finally decided upon in the mind of the Imperial Govern ment; added to which, it is said that other dissensions threaten to produce the speedy dissolution of the present Cabinet of Vienna, which will cause the question to be delayed." The attention of the Parisians appears to be en grossed by the approaching elections. The Dibats and the Con,stitutionnel support the Ministerial candi dates, MM. ROGER (du Nord), EDMOND ADAM, and ACIIILLE FOULD. subtle operations of the tissues which constitute the human frame, and upon the uninterrupted continu ance of which operations the health and life of every creature is immediately dependent. Precisely such a terrific fluctuation as this has befallen France dur- The Siec/e supports the two first, but proposes to substitute 111. VICTOR COUSIN for M. ACHILLE FOULD. Marshal BUGEAUD has accepted the candidateship, and has addressed the following letter to the electors : ing the past six months of the Republican regime— fluctuations which have dated their continuance with " La Durantie, Sept. 2. " I did not feel anxious to return to public life; I would most willingly have waited for the next general election; but since so honourable an invitation as that of Paris presents itself to me in my retreat, I should, by refusing it, be guilty of a cowardly indifference about the destinies of France, as yet so uncertain (si incer taines encore). I accept then, with ardour and gratitude, the oiler of being returned for the department of the Seine. I will devote myself with an active and ener getic perseverance to the defence of civilised society against the anti-social ideas of Communists and Ter rorists. I will devote myself also to the interests of the great city, and of its banlieue ; in a word, I am heart and soul the soldier of order, of family, and of property. If the anarchists should once again assail society, I would not remain a cold impassible spectator of civil war, I would rush into the ranks of the National Guard and the army, and should not fear, for sake of so firm and holy a cause, to follow my brave lieutenants who fell in the days of June. This , you may say, a n d pledge yourselves for on my account.' The following letter, addressed to JEROMB BONA.' PARTE, ex-King of Westphalia, and brother of the Emperor, by bis nephew, Prince Louts NAPOLEON, also appears in the Paris papers of yesterday : " My deur Uncle,—Your wise counsels on the subject of the elections about to take place have only anticipated the letter which I was about to write to you to the same intent. I believe, as you do, that at this time it will be my duty to accept the mandate of my fellow-citizens, if they shall honour me with their suffrages. Under cir cunistances which happily no longer subsist. I have not hesitated to prolong my exile rather than suffer my name to be used as a pretext for pernicious agitations. Now that order is established, I hope that unjust prejudices will no longer prevent me from contributin g as a repre sentative of the people to the consolidation of the Re public, to its happiness and glory. Be pleased to make known these sentiments, and accept, my dear uncle, the assurance of my respectful attachment. " Your devoted nephew, “LOUIS NAPOLEON BONAPARTE." The candidateship of Prince Louts NAPOLEON VIM be supported by the orsvriers, the Red Republi. cans, and the Socialists, but none of these bodies are nearly so well organized as they were at the time of the last election. The Constitutionnel says, that a deputation from those decorated for their bravery during the days of dune, having been introduced to the chief of the Executive, General CAVAIGNAC addressed them as follows the duration of the power of the Provisional Govern ment, of the Executive Commission, and of the present dictatorial Administration. The single exchange of the conciliatory and benefi cent rule of LAMARTINE for the stern and uncompromising domination of CAVAIGNAC is sufficient to account for the fury which still smoul ders under the superficial calm of French repub licanism. It wants only a stamp of a foot, or the wave of a finger, or the glance of an eye, to elicit all those passions which are dormant through excess of rage, or through the dictates of indecision. In this respect Paris reminds one of the volcano in Ice land, which is roused into an explosion of eruptive force by the dropping of a pebble into the silent and sombre depths of its crater. It remains yet to be seen whose hand is destined to drop the next pebble into that tremendous abyss of revolutions. Whatever may be the consequence of the approaching election of three representatives for the city of Paris, we are confident, profoundly confident, as to the ulti- mate result of the great political movement through out Prance. The final triumph of Moderation is no longer matter of conjecture. The enemies of Law, if Order, and of Rational Government may struggle to attain their Utopia of murder and rapine, and they will doubtless, at the very earliest opportunity, renew their insane efforts at bloodshed and spoliation ; but the end of all their deplorable machinations will inevitably be the consolidation of that heroic repub- Picanism, that republicanism of Peace, Fraternity, and Moderation, which scared the minions of despotism groin the soil of France in the latter days of February, and planted in lieu of the symbols of royalty the insignia of a free people. Factions, there unquestion cionably are, prepared to convulse the country with the threes of their ambition ; but these very factions intrit find themselves at last compelled reluctantly to iiccumb before the irresistible might of Moderation. In the end we say—for the Republic has yet, without question, to pass through many crises of terror and peril before she reaches the epoch of her permanent •ranquillity—the fever which still rages in her blood must be subdued, but before then it will doubtless re, double the energy of its paroxysms. The Communists ire again beginning to mutter such names as CADET :end RASPAIL ; the Imperialists are again endeavour " I know that the executive power has been blamed for having awarded recompenses in a civil war; we have been reproached with a forgetfulness of our past princi ple. This is an error; what we thought at other times we think still. But it is not true to say that you gained your crosses in a civil war. You gained them in a social war, waged by society itself against its enemies; that was the real field of battle. I hope that we shall never have to renew such a combat, nay, I venture to promise you that we shall not. The mediation of France is accepted by Austria. The mediation that we have imposed bus been accepted, because we have been mode rate. We are then assured of the maintenance of peace.

The object of my incessant cane is to labour conjointly with friendly Powers to preserve general peace, to le establish in Europe the tranquillity and confidence which are the conditions sine cud non of all social relations, and of the common welfare. It was in pursuance of my efforts for this object that I thought right to co operate, even in making considerable sacrifices for the two united kingdoms, for putting promptly an end to disnutes which seemed to threaten not only the ieneral peace, but also our frontiers and our dearest interests. The propositions which I addressed to the Storthing on this subject obtained the reception which I expected on the part of the magnanimous Norwegian people. I entertain the hope that the pacific settlement of these differences, towards which, faithful to my principles, I direct all my efforts, is not now distant. I re gret that present political circumstances have pre vented my coronation and that of the Queen from taking place this year. According to the desire expressed by the Storthing, the ceremony shall be gone through as soon as possible. I flattered myself with the hope of being able to stay some time at Christiania, surrounded by the representatives of my faithful Norwegian people, and of being able on the present occasion to address my self personally to you, gentlemen. Events, however, have prevented the realisation of this hope, in address ing my royal salutations to you, I implore from Heaven the greatest blessings on Norway and on the inhabitants of this country, and I give to all of you, gentlemen and loyal Norwegians, and to each of you in particular, the assurance of my royal affection.

A steamer is expected from America. The export trade in British manufactures, although not very active, is affording fair employment in the dis tricts of Manchester, &c., and there is less reason to complain than we fear there will be as we advance more towards the winter, It seems to be admitted that the affairs of the Continent cannot settle down for some months in a way to inspire confidence among traders. That a war may be averted is the hope of all, and the impres sion of many, though the state of affairs in Germany is certainly looked at with anxiety. The idea of those who advocate peace, is that the interest of nations is for peace, owing to the low state of their finances. It is so important to resist the efforts of those who contend that free trade has failed in any respect in producing the advantages anticipated, that we deem it important to give some further remarks con cerning the " Merino question " It is stated that " relative to the cause of the distress in Bradford being chiefly attributable to the importation of French me rinos, &c., there is one feature of the case which has not been put with sufficient clearness before the put lie, and which would, I think, if fairly stated, aid in coming to a right understanding of the matter, so far as the de putation, or rather two gentlemen, are concerned. It must be borne in mind that this deputation went to London to obtain the assistance of Government, if pos sible, in a pecuniary way, towards relieving the distress which then existed. I think there will scarcely be a person acquainted with the trade of Bradford, excepting the gentlemen alluded to, who would maintain that the distress was either mainly or in any great degree attri butable to this cause. Why the thing is so ridiculous that I dare venture to say nine out of ten who have read it would scarcely refrain from laughing at this reason being assigned by these two gentlemen above all others, because they were both practically acquainted with an other cause that would go much farther towards ex plaining it, whilst on the other hand they were not very well acquainted with the nature of the subject about which they were complaining. It will generally be admitted that the greatest proportion of suffering from want in Bradford has been amongst the woolcombers. The gentlemen forming the deputation to London knew this fact perfectly well, and Messrs. Rund and Walker also knew that they themselves had lately introduced machines into their own establish ments that would account for the non-employment of more woolcombers than all the French merinos imported would require. I have been told that they have substituted machine-combing for hand combing to a much greater extent than this. But supposing they have substituted the machine for a thousand combers, these thousand combers would not be over toiled to comb each 221bs. of wool, about 101Ibs. of top in one week; and this would, ac cording to their figures, account for the displacement of as many combers, amongst whom the distress in Bradford chiefly exists, as would be required to comb all the wool, for all the French merinos they say are imported. Here, then, we have another reason for the distress in Bradford, which these two gentlemen were better than any other two in the town acquainted with equal in extent to the one they named, but of which we do not hear of their having said one word. This is, however, going partly on the assumption that the 50,000 pieces of French merinos said to be im ported, have displaced 50,000 pieces of a similar fabric previously made in this neighbourhood, an assumption so grossly false that no man at all acquainted with the trade would make it and at the same time believe it. It is well known by those who are most likely to have certain knowledge on the subject, that at no time within the last six years have so many as 10,000 pieces of worsted warp double-twilled merinos been made in one year, and this is the only cloth which can at all besald to resemble the French merino. But as Mr. W.'s letter refers chiefly to the free importation of French merinos, I may state another fact which can not be controverted, and thatis, that for the twelve months immediately previous to the ope ration of Sir R. Peel's tariff, by which these goods were admitted free, not two thousand pieces were made here, and that if French merinos annihilated the manu facture of this fabric at all it did it when a duty of nearly 15 per cent. was levied upon them. Supposing, however, for argument's sake, that this tariff destroyed the manufacture of the greater quantity stated, 10,000 pieces, pray how many combers would the manufacture of that number find employment for. Certainly not 300. How stupidly absurd then does it appear to put this forward as a principal reason for the distress, to aid in the relief of which they went to ask the aid of Government. The truth is, we never possessed the trade represented by the French merinos, and therefore could never lose it, and for any person to assert to the contrary, indicates an ignorance not only of tho character of the fabric it self, but of the whole question. If the moderate protec tion Mr. W. talks of—and how much that is it would be difficult to say, if his pocket interest is to determine the amount--were replaced to-day, it would not cause a single piece of the worsted warp double twills, formerly manufactured here, to be made again. I do not raean to insinuate that Messrs. Rand and Walker are to be blamed for the effects of the introduction of combing machines into their establishments; far from it, for this only proves them to be spirited tradesmen who keep in the front ranks of their business, for if the machine economizes labour, and cheapens production, no power in Bradford would prevent it being brought into operation either here or elsewhere, and in either case its effects would have been precisely the same in the end. But I think they may fairly be blamed for going up to London and making a great fuss about the effect of things they did not understand, and neglecting to men tion things they did understand which had a much greater bearing upon the object they bad in view.

The news of the defeat of the Ministry on the Army Bill was received by the people of Berlin with shouts of joy. STEIN, the mover of the amendment, on which they were beaten, was carried in triumph round the city. The Ministers were hung in effigy, and the city was illuminated. The Burgher Guard have resolved to make common cause with the people. The Assembly met on, the Bth, and having been informed by the President that the Ministers had ' gone to Carlottenburg, to consult the KING, they immediately adjourned. FRAN KFORT-ON-THE-MAINE. The German Parliament met on the Bth Septem ber, and the affairs of Schleswig-Holstein were again discussed. RAPPARD had a motion to bring forward which he deemed of the greatest importance. Many members were already aware of the turn which affairs had just taken in Sehleswig-Holstein. The combined As sembly of the two duchies had unanimously declared itself permanent, and had rejected the new Provisionl Government altogether • it had determined to act in conjunction with the ex- Government, and had de cided that all laws framed and enacted by itself since the 24th of March last should be binding, unless the will of the people, as represented by the Assembly, should demand alterations. Matters were now come to a fearful crisis. Count AIOLTRE himself had been obliged to fly the country, and take refuge in the Itze-hope, on the borders of Jutland. To make good his escape, he had been compelled to apply to the former Government for a passport. The Schles wig-Holstein troops had already evinced a great spirit of insubordination to their Prus sian officers ; and all these circumstances taken into consideration, rendered it necessary that the validity or non-validity of the armistice should be speedily declared by the Assembly. He therefore moved that the relative diplomatic and other docu ments be distributed among the members of the National Assembly by four P.M. that day; and that on the morrow (the 9th inst.) an extraordinary afternoon sitting be held, for the purpose of bringing the sub ject of the armistice to a conclusion. HECKSCHER, the ex-Minister, warned against precipitation. The National Assembly should not alone take into consideration the danger of ratifying, but the danger also of rejecting the armistice. SCHODER moved that the joint Committee be called upon to report in the course of to-morrow on the matter of the armistice. (Here objections arose on account of the necessary printed documents not being ready.) WIGAnn, editor of the stenographic reports, moved, that since the printing of the stenographic reports, and the distribution of the same to the Members had been brought within the term of 24 hours from the close of the sitting, the presidial board should be called upon to inquire of the Parliamentary printer why such delay had occurred in the production of docu ments whose distribution had been many days com manded. Carried.—(Cries of " Immediately.") Parties were, therefore, immediately dispatched to the printing-office. The discussion of Art. 3, see. 44, of the Funda mental Rights was then proceeded with. It was not important, and the House was in a great measure de serted, especially during BESELER'S reply. Division on the said section was deferred to Monday, in order that, according to a motion expressly made, the whole of the amendments, &c., might be placed in print be before the Members. Then the answer of the P ar li amentary printer was read. It entered into a full explanation of the cause of delay, which consisted in the immense mass of copy which had already been placed in his handi. This alone amounted to twenty-nine printed sheets. BLum and other Members of the Left then begged permission to put a question to DAHLMANN as to how far the formation of the Ministry had proceeded. They regarded this of such infinite importance, that IIERR DAULMANN, they hoped, would answer them at once from the rostrum. After a short discussion about form, DAHLMANN said that he had no scruple in answer ing the question at once, but he could only inform them, and he trusted this would be considered enough for the present, that the necessary negotiations had already been set on foot, and were being actively car ried on ; as yet, however, his endeavours had been attended with no definite result, and, if he might give his opinion, any further interference on the part of the Assembly would not accelerate the business, but would rather throw hindrances in his way. BLUM said they had heard of the new events in Schleswig-Holstein ; they had heard that a lament able spirit had betrayed itself between troops united by alliance and brotherhood. It was necessary to act speedily. They had heard that the printed documents which they were waiting for would occupy twenty nine sheets, and these were not all. To deliberate duly on such a mass of matter required time, and the committees could not possibly get to the end of their work in time. He therefore moved that an extraor dinary sitting be held on the morrow, for the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety of sending a deputation to the Administrator, praying him to hasten the end of the Ministerial crisis. The urgency of the motion was negatived. SCHODER withdrew his motion, and, after a brief dispute as to the time of the next sitting, and a few notifications referring to committees, the House ad journed till Monday, at nine A.M. H UN GA A courier arrived at Pesth on the Ist inst., with :he intelligence that the Hungarians had sustained another defeat at the Roman br eas t wor k s between Temerin and Jar e k. The battl e ommenced on the 28 th August, and was continued on the 29th, the Hungarian Minister of War, MESSAROS, command ing in person. On the 28th the Hungariana had the advantage, but on the 29th they were driven back with great slaughter. Temerin and Jarek fell into the hands of the insurgents through the treachery of Lieutenant "LATHE, arid were given a prey to the flames. The Hungarians fled to Alt-ker, where they were rallied by Lieut. Field-Marshal Count RUCH THOLD. The insurgents have now taken the offensive. MESSAROS, who left the army on the 28th for Peter wardein, narrowly escaped falling into the pawer of the insurgents. liossuTer, who announced the above fact in the Hungarian Chamber, spoke in bitter terms of the treachery of some of the Hungarian officers. The House then went into private Com mittee to hear some important communications from the Minister, who announced that LADISLAUS VON SZALAI had been officially received by the Archduke Jons, as Hungarian Ambassador at Frankfort, that a German Ambassador would shortly arrive at Pesth, and that the recognition of the independence of Hun gary by England and France would follow shortly. Respecting the negotiations at Vienna, the Minister was not able to say anything. The Hungarian Ministers BATTIIYANY and DEAK had been admitted to a second audience by his MAJESTY, and were ex pected at Pesth the following day. According to the Breslau Gazette, two battalions of the Broober Frontier Regiment had crossed the Danube, without resistance, at Bukowar. The BANN in person was to take the command of 56,000 men, to act against Hungary. He has already issued i a noti fication th a t hi s operations woul d i n no w ay interfere with the navigation of the Danube. Nothing has transpired respecting the negotiations ' between Austria and Hungary: NORWAY. By a letter, of the 29th ult., from Christiania, in Norway, we l earn that the G overnor -G enera l of the kin g d om h ad, in tha name o f th e K ING, closed the session of the Storthing, with the following address : " Gentlemen and Loyal Norwegians—Since the open- POLAND. The cholera has appeared with great violence in the province of Lublin. In the small town of Kras- Hystau more than 400 persons have died of it. The disease broke out immediately after the arrival of a regiment of Cossacks, several of whom have fallen victims to it. ITALY. ROME. The Epoca of Rome, of the Ist, publishes a cir cular addressed by the Marquis NATO, President of the National Club of Rome, to all the clubs of Italy, proposing a general organization of them by a com mon statute. It was currently reported at Rome, on the 30th ult., that the POPE had confided to M. DE ROESI the task of organizing a new Ministry. PIEDM ON T. FiLirro BONI, whose arrest and exile from Genoa was the cause of the late disturbances in that city, re turned on the sth. The citizens intend to get up an ovation in his honour. TUSCANY. The/Grand Duke of Tu SCANY has issued the fo lowing proclamation : " Tuscans!—A horrible misfortune has hvppened at Leghorn, of which the circumstances are not known; but this we know—that a severe conflict has taken place, as is the case when violent passions and perverse insti gations agitate the multitude. And now Leghorn is under the scourge of anarchy. The Livornese are my witnesses that every means of persuasion has been ex hausted, and that in the necessity of recomposing that unfortunate town every care has been taken that the public authority that was re-established might be the bearer of peace alone. Divine Providence has reserved me for this affliction; you, Tuscans, for these dangers; you have known me for these last twenty-five years. A machination that tends to make Tuscany the centre of an overthrow of Italy menaces your institutions, tran quillity, order, and the future. In this moment, solemn for us all, the country calls for your aid, for the assist ance and the arm of every one. I have the confidence that the Civic Guard to all Tuscany, rallying around me, will hasten to the common defence. " LEOPOLD. " Florence, Sept. 3, 1848." " CORSINI. The fortresses of Leghorn are in the hands of the troops, and the communications between them and the Government are free. The town itself is in the possession of the people, who have erected barricades, and who have called CORSINI and GunartAca to the Government, and have appointed General TORRES as commander of the insurrection. Troops from various parts of Tuscany are assembling in the neighbourhood of Leghorn. The GRAND DUKE will himself command the troops, and exhaust all means of moderation and clemency before having recourse to arms. Letters from Pontremoli state that the four small towns—Calice, Palerone, Monti, and Podenzana— which refused to be annexed to Tuscany—have con stituted themselves into a Republic, after the depar ture of the Piedmoutese forces. SICILY. Her Majesty's steamer Porcupine, which arrived at Marseilles on the 7th, brings intelligence of the defeat of the Neapolitan invading army. The Nea politans succeeded in landing from 10,000 to 12,000 men in the neighbourhood of Messina, but the Sicilians attacked them and defeated thtm. A shell fired during the action fell on board her Majesty's steamer Gladiator, and killed a seaman. The Pro visional Government of Sicily has dispatched a nobleman to England to ask for assistance against the invasion of the Neapolitans. WYLD ' S EMIGRANT'S ATLAS.—ADOther collection of maps from the establishment of the distinguished geographer to her Majesty and his Royal Highness the Prince Albert has afforded a new evidence of his ability and enterprise. The Emigrant's Atlas, which has just been publibhed by Mr. James Wyld, is cal culated to be an extraordinary boon to those millions who, within the next few years, will avail them selves of the advantages of emigration. The Atlas comprises all the must important fields of colonization from the United States to New Zealand, from Ca naria and New Brunswick to Australia and Van Diemen's Land, accompanied by appropriate de scriptive letter-press. The amount of information crammed in so portable a compass is, to say the least of it, remarkable. MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY COLONIAL. Sucen.—The market for British Plantation continues without animation, and the sales only amount to about 300 hhds, at the previous rates.
