As a politician, Sergeant TALrouan is henceforth a marked man with the people of England. A .finality man he has proved himself to be, and, de claring himself a finality man, he has for ever for feited the confidence of those who may have hitherto regarded him as a compatriot and a brother reformer. Instead of treating the great political problem in- Tolved in Mr. HumE's motion for Parliamentary reform with sobriety of argument, and absti nence from mere declamation, the Honourable and Learned Member for the borough of Reading in dulged in an indirect vituperation upon the character of TuomAs COOPER, the agitator of the Potteries, and the elegist of suicides. It was in allusion to this in delicate and gratuitous revival of circumstances which it would have been immeasurably better to have abandoned to oblivion, that Mr. COBDEN uttered those inimitable words of sarcasm, that the reminiscence of Sergeant TALFOURD was altogether '.'% THE. SUN, superfluous, seeing that " we wanted no additional examples to prove to. usitat a very good poet may be a very bad politician!" The derisive laughter which greeted the remark was provoked upon his own head by the honourable, learned, poetic, and in consistent gentleman, the representative of Reading. If we except one very simple announcement, his oration was only remarkable for inasmuch as it pre sented us with the spectacle of the vacuity of forensic eloquence ; and that announcement was, that when he cast a glance of retrospection over the political history of the last thirty years, when he remembered the extraordinary changes which had occurred, and the wonderful advantages which had been torn from the unwilling grasp of the aris tocracy in 1832, when he considered the increased share acquired by the people in municipal corporations, "he thought he did not act an inconsistent part in refusing to go further." So much for the new light thrown in upon the political character of Mr. Ser geant TALFOUBD, by the discussion of Thursday evening—a discussion which showed his tendency to the finality system, and his faithlessness to the cause of progressive and comprehensive reform. To ourselves, and we doubt not to the vast ma jority of those who are indisposed to despair of the ultimate success of the movement commenced by Messrs. HUME and COBDEN, simply because of the division of 84 against 351, it is refreshing to turn from the empty and declamatory speech of Ser- geant TALrouitn - , to ,the sound and argumen tative harangue of the Honourable Gentlemen the Members for the West Riding and for Middlesex. The statistical arguments of Mr. COBDEN, coupled, as they may be, with those contained in Mr. MACE.A.Y'S pamphlet on Electoral Districts, are to our thinking altogether unanswerable. What shall be said, for example, against the justice of the plea in favour of a batter apportionment of the different constituencies of the United Kingdom after the estimates mentioned on Thursday by Mr. COBDEN ?—that the West Riding contains a population of 1,154,000, and Wilts a population of 260,000, that the former is rated to the poor on an annual rental of 3,576,0001., and Wilts on an annual rental of 1,242,0001., and yet that each of them returns 18 Members, or again, that the popu lation of the county of Buckingham is 17,000, and that of the city of Manchester is 240,000, that the former is assessed to the poor at the annual rental of 760,0001., and the latter at an annual rental of 1,200,0001., and yet that Buckingham has eleven Members, and Manchester only two ! What shall be said in contravention of the same arguments when the Honourable Gentleman enunciates such a Hen- tence as the following :—" I hold in my hand a list of ten boroughs, each returning two Members to Parliament, making in all twenty Members, and I have also a list of ten towns in the West Riding of Yorkshire which do not return any Member, yet the smallest place in the latter list is larger than the largest of the ten boroughs having two Members each !" According to the pre sent iniquitous arrangement, therefore, the Bri tish House of Commons is only the Repre sentative Chamber of a very minute section of the enfranchised, even under the present contracted plan of distributing the suffrage. It appears to us that the great blunder in which much of the opposition to Mr. HuME's motion has originated is the misapprehension of its immediate tendency. According to the opinion of a great body of the so-called Liberals, or of the ci•devant Reformers, it is dreaded that by granting the prayer of the petitioners—by extending the suffrage to all householders, by restricting the duration of Parlia ment to three years, by mapping out the country into equally balanced districts, and by protecting the conscience of the voter by the visor of the ballot—we shall inevitably be weaken ing the foundations of the Constitution. Never was there a more egregious fallacy. Instead of weaken ing the foundations the granting of these reforms would only tend to widen and extend them—affording a broader basis by that measure to the political pyramid of Great Britain. Is there any want of a mathematical proof as to the accuracy of this asser tion ?—it is found in the homely expression of Mr. COBD*N. " If," said he, " you enfranchise the householders in this country, making the number of voters 3,000,000 or 4,000,000, whereas at present they are only about 800,000, will any one deny that by so doing you would conciliate the great mass of the people to the institutions of the country, and that whatever dissatisfaction might arise from any re maining exclusion, your institutions would be ren dered stronger, by being garrisoned by 3,000,000 or 4,000,000 of voters, instead of 800,000 ?" Against that one homely expression we defy all the declamation of the Conservatives to effect anything in the way of triumph. It is the condensation into one masculine sentence of all the justice, of all the exigency, of all the expediency, of all the truth, of all the earnestness, and of all the unconquerable vigour of the great popular movement. That movement cannot now be stopped —it cannot even be retarded for any length of time; —notwithstanding the majority of 267 against them on Thursday evening, the people of England must very soon be victorious. We have great pleasure in directing attention to a well-reasoned and sensible article copied from the Dublin Pilot, on the folly and madness of the revo lutionary doctrines advocated by some portion of the Irish press. Mr. BARRETT, the proprietor of the Pilot, has done good service to the cause of modera tion and social order, by the publication of such an appeal to the good sense and loyalty of his country men. We sincerely hope they will profit by the perusal of advice so timely and so salutary. The House of Commons was again occupied last night with the discussion of another Protectionist amendment to the resolutions on the Sugar Duties, and although the subject has been literally worn threadbare, the debate was adjourned until Monday evening. The Noble Lord the Member for King's Lynn, it appears, is charged brimful with an oration, which, as he has taken upon himself the position of champion and protector for the West Indian colonies, cannot be delivered in less than two or three hours. He appears to have forgotten that already his first speech on the question " that the House go into Com mittee" entered most fully into the entire subject:l that his views were explained beyond the possibility of doubt or misconception, and that the reckless and injurious accusations which in the course of that speech he preferred against the Colonial Department generally, and more especially against the Noble Secretary and the Under-Secretary for the Colonies, personally—led to a lamentable waste of time ; the greater portion of three evenings having been consumed in the vindication of the characters so unjustly assailed, and the partial reiteration of the unwarranted aspersions. Most justly d id the Premier appeal to the House to induce them to di vide on that amendment without further adjournment, and nobly did the House respond to that appeal, the motion for reporting progress having been negatived by a majority of 131. Thanks, however, to the obstructive nature of th e p resen t rules, which permit a small minority to impede the progress of any business, the majority was obliged to succumb, and on Monday the House will have to decide on the proposition of the Hon. Member for Leominster, who desires to su s p end the p ro g ress of the Act of 1846, and to maintain the duties at their present rate fur a period of six years. He would thus give a minimum protection of 4s. 6d. on Muscovado, an d o f 7s. 7d. upon clayed sugars for the same period. It is hardly necessary now to enter into the merit of this suggestion, which can scarcely be palatable to any of the parties interested, whether producers or consumers. It would retard the gradual diminution of prices, which would greatly increase the consump tion of the article. There would be no breaking the fall—if fall it might be called—so that at a moment's notice the planters would be reduced from a consider able protective duty to perfect equality ; they would be compelled to pay 14s. per hundred on their pro duce for six years, in place of 13s. at present, with a decrease of ls. in each succeeding year until 10s. only was levied. All these advantages would be wholly lost if the Honourable Member succeeded in his mo tion. We can scarcely, therefore, think that the West Indians will array themselves in its favour. To the consumer it is even still more objectionable. He would still be unduly taxed on an article of great utility, an abundant and cheap supply of which mate rially adds to the comfort of his domestic circle. He would still contribute a portion of his hardly-earned wages, not for the increase of the revenue, but for the LONDON, private emolument of a class ; and as the question would still remain unsettled, there would be a renewal of those disputes, which are peculiarly unpleasant when personal interests are involved in the discussion. It would also be less productive to the revenue, inasmuch as the great increase of consumption, which may reasonably be expected to more than compensate for the decrease in the duties, could not then be calculated,on. For every reason, then, the Government proposition is infinitely more beneficial in whatever point of view it may be regarded, and there can be little doubt that the amendment will be negatived by a large majority; indeed, the opponents of the Government resolutions will not again be able to collect the disjecta membra which constituted the minority of 245 on the first division, who, as we have already pointed out, were actuated by a variety of conflicting motives for the votes they recorded upon that occasion. ‘• THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. LAMARTINE'S DEFENCE OF HIS GOVERNMENT. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The funeral of the victims of June passed off with out disturbance. The following account of the cere mony appears in Galignani's Messenger : " The funeral ceremony in honour of the victims who fell in defence of the cause of order in the late insur rection took place yesterday, in the way regulated by the programme, with the exception of the procession to the Place de la Bastille. It was announced in the Na tional Assembly on Wednesday, that this part of the ceremony would be postponed, as the vaults under the Column of July were not ready for the reception of the bodies, and that they would, therefore, be deposited for the present in the vaults of the church of the Made leine. The motive officially assigned did not inspire generalbelietand rumours,which, we trust, were wholly without foundation, were current yesterday morning that the postponement was the result of information that some assassins had prepared an infernal machine, d la Fieschi, in some house on the Boulevards, and that it would be let off at the moment when the President of the Council of Ministers and his colleagues should be passing. The ceremony, even without the procession along the Boulevards, was splendid and im posing. The hall of the National Assembly, and the part of the church of the Madeleine which faces it were hung with black, intermixed with silver; and the altar erected in the Place de la Concorde was remarkable at once for simplicity and grandeur. There is, perhaps, no capital in the world in which public displays of this sort are got up with greater rapidity, elegance, and good taste, than in Paris. The troops, who took part in the ceremony, consisted of detachments from different corps, and the total formed an imposing mass. Most of the National Guards were in uniform. The crowd was, as usual on occasions of this kind, very dense, and con sisted, for the greater part of the bourgeoisie. At half-past ten the officiating bishop ascended the steps of the altar, and the religious service com menced, the cannon of the Invalides firing at intervals. Notwithstanding the intense heat of the day, the crowd stood with their heads uncovered during the greater part of the religious service. When the Host was elevated nearly all the persons present went on their knees. The members of the National Assembly and the public bodies were ranged in the order fixed by the pro gramme. At half-past eleven the procession moved to wards the Madeleine, headed by the Horse National Guards, the Republican Guard, and the different troops now in Paris. The car was drawn by 16 horses, richly caparisoned, and accompanied by nearly 200 priests. After the car were other detachments of troops. On arriving at the Madeleine the bodies were brought into the church, and, after prayers had been read by the Bishop of Langres, they were deposited in the vaults. The public and troops then separated in religious silence. The car was left for some time before the church, in order that it might be seen by persons who, from the denseness of the crowd, could not get a sight of it during the procession. It was of the usual form, hung with black draperies, and richly ornamented with silver. The whole ceremony was as imposing as it was mournful, and will leave a deep impression on the minds of all who witnessed it." The National denies the discovery of any plot for the assassination of Generals CAVAIGNAC and Li- MORICIERE by means of an infernal machine ; and it also denies the report that fresh disturbances had broken out in the Faubourg St. Antoine. It says, that some seizures of arms and some arrests having been ordered in the faubourg, it had been considered advisable to have an imposing military force in the neighbourhood. The seizures and arrests had, how ever, been made without resistance. The total number of arrests effected in consequence of the insurrection amounts, it is said, to 10,000, and about 12,000 files of examinations and documents relative to the recent events are in the hands of the examining magistrates. The most effectual measures are in the course of adoption for upholding the cause of order in Paris. An encampment of 30,000 men is to be formed at St. Maur, and various other measures of precaution are to be adopted. On this subject the Journal des De buts says— " In the Committee of War M. de Remilly has pro posed the concentration of the force of 50,000 men round Paris. This is a wise precaution, for the surest way to prevent bloodshed is to take away every chance of suc cess from those misguided men who would attempt it. With this view the representatives of the people who hold a meeting in the Rue de Poictiers, and which now forms the most numerous fraction of the Chamber, from the adhesion of many fresh members, have conceived a set of measures calculated to secure the tranquillity of the capital, and hence of the whole of France, and almost of Europe. " The measures which have been proposed by M. Thiers are the following:—The first consists in dissolv ing the national workshops, by giving to the workmen out of emplyment assistance at their own houses; by offering to others work adapted to their profession, such as clothing for the troops to weavers, tailors, shoe makers, &c.; artillery waggons to men accustomed to that business; works en the fortifications at Havre, Cherbourg, and other parts of the coast, to carpenters and masons, who are now so numerous in Paris; in a word, to give employment where possible to the men of the ateliers, and to relieve those for whom work could not be found. " The second measure was the complete disarming of the insurgent quarters; the third, the maintenance in Paris, or close to the walls, of a force of the line of at least 60,000 men ! To these measures were added two others, tending to prevent civil war by suppressing the causes which lead to it—it was to close the clubs tem porarily, reserving to the constitution to regulate the right of association, and to put a limit to the freedom of the press, and prevent offences against society, such as provocation to civil war, pillage, murder, provocations of which certain journals have been guilty by publishing, for instance, every day in Paris, the list of those inhabitants who were supposed to possess the most property. " These measures were proposed not to be converted into decrees of the Assembly, which might assume the character of opposition to the new executive power, but to make them the subject of an understanding with the Government to which they might be pointed out as means considered indispensable by a principal part of the representatives to secure the repose of France, and the peaceable and durable establishment of the new Republic. No conduct could be more guarded, more governmental, more worthy of men who wish to benefit the country without ostentation and without any useless discussion with the Government. It was agreed to that if it was found impossible to come to an understanding on the subject with the executice power, the propo sitions would be submitted to the Assembly in a series of bills. " All good citizens must see with satisfaction that a part of those measures are in accordance with the views of the Executive and the Assembly. The ateliersnationaux are already in course of dissolution, and several bills are in preparation for affording employment to the workmen. The disarming is being effected, and already more than 100,000 muskets have been returned into the Govern ment depOts.A large military force is being concentrated round Paris; independently of the Garde Mobile and the Garde Republicaine, there are 45,000 infantry of the line, and 10,000 artillery, engineers, and cavalry. This display of force will show the folly of any fresh at tempts at disorder. " But this is not all that is to be expected from a wise and enlightened Government. Moral order is not less necessary than material order, and we hope that in pre serving the right of association and liberty of writing, indispensable limits will be fixed to both. It will be easy, while respecting and Consecrating those rights, to prevent the existence in Paris of open tribunes from whence such doctrines as an appeal to arms are put forth, and the sale of papers exciting to pillage and murder are openly . sold in the pubiic streets. To to lerate such abuses is not the way to consolidate the new Republic, but to render it as ephemeral as its predecessor of 1792." M. EMILE DE GIEARDIN, who was set at liberty on the sth, has published the following protest : " Arrested without motive, and kept au secret for eleven days, without anything, even of the most vague character, being brought against me, and afterwards set at liberty as irregularly as I was incarcerated, without any document being communicated to me to show why I had been deprived of my liberty on the 25th of June, and released on th e st h o f J u ly, my first act is to protest against that sequestration of my person, and against the su ppression of the journal La Presse, a twofold attack against liberty and property, which I reserve to myself to discuss when that journal may again re-appear, all the materiel of which is now under seal. " E. DE GIRARDIN. " July 5." M. DE LAMARTINE has addressed to the editor of the Constitutionne/ the following indignant protest against the calumnies of which the Orleanist party have endeavoured to make him the victim : " Monsieur,—Out of respect to the crisis in which my country is placed, as well as to that of the good sense of the public, I leave unnoticed that flood of malevolence, calumnies, and absurdities which for some time has been directed against the names, the acts, and the intentions of the men whom events raised or threw down in the SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 8, 184-8 days of revolution. Truth will one day do justice to each. lam not impatient of justice, for I have no fear of its decision. "I have, however, just read in your number of the Gth a fragment of an article borrowed from the Debats, in which the following mad calumnies are put forth : " • During the latter days of February the pavement had been scarcely replaced when the new Government thought of again raising barricades against the National Guard, and against the part of the population which it believed to be actuated by a spirit of re-action, an accu sation which struck at all lovers of social order. A battalion of barricade builders was formed, the members of which were to serve as instructors in 'different quar ters, and thus to make known the theory of that kind of defence. These barricades were marked out on a plan of Paris, and the edifices and monuments were also pointed out which were to be formed into central for tresses. No one can, therefore, be astonished at the skilful combinations displayed by the insurgents of June; they followed a plan traced out by the Government.' " I avow that, for the first time, the perusal of these odious lines made me break that silence which I had im posed on myself until the moment for explanation should arrive. To see myself thus transformed into a professor of civil war, and a preparer of means of carnage—l, who every day during the last four months presented my breast, in order to spare the blood of my fellow-citizens! There is no reply to make to such a charge. There is only a cry of indignation, which I utter from the bottom of my soul, and which I beg of :you to enregister.—Re ceive, Monsieur, &c., " L A MARTINE, " Ex-Member of the Provisional Government and of the Executive Committee." The Journal de,, Debats acknowledges the receipt of a similar communication, but states that it arrived too late for publication. The Constitutionnel publishes a long speech made by M. THEIRS in the Committee on the Constitution, in favour of a second Chamber, in the course of which he stated, that when in 1830 he, in conjunction with others, proposed to Lours PHILIPPE the establishment of an hereditary peerage, they found LOUIS PHILIPPE as much opposed to it as ➢l. ARMAND CARREL him- se,.. The Constitutionnel says that General BEDEAU has not refused the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but that his wound is more serious than had been at first imagined, although his life is not considered in danger. General DAMESME, who underwent amputation, is going on favourably, but General DUVIVIER is con sidered to be in great danger. M. THEODORE ALBERT, who accompanied the late Archbishop of PARIS to the barricades, carrying be fore him the palm branch, has published the following interesting account of the circumstances attending the death of the martyred Prelate : " An actor in one of the most sorrowful scenes which have deluged Paris in blood, I should not have thought of intruding myself on public notice, if truth had not been sacrificed, and a statement made that I had put the police in the trace of the murderer of the Archbishop. It was only at the Place de I'Arsenal that I learned from the mouth of the Prelate his holy resolution. Having demanded some ono to precede him and announce him to the insurgents, I immediately offered. A superior officer having said that with this mission neither a mili tary man nor a National Guard should be intrusted, I put off my uniform, and took a blouse and a cap. I attached also to the flag-staff of a flag which had been taken from the insurgents a branch of a tree, and I marched preceding Monseigneur and his two vicars, MM. Jacquemet and Ravinet. The Place do la Bastille was deserted. Arrived at the bar ricade, I proclaimed the arrival of the Archbishop of Paris. The prelate followed me alone, his servant having been pushed into the shop of a wine merchant, and the vicars being separated by the sudden invasion of the place and the quarrels which they were trying to appease. I waved my branch of peace and went near Monseigneur, who walked very slowly on account of the state of the pavement. Extending his hand, ho cried, Ales arnis, mes amis!' but he could scarcely be heard, the noise on all sides was so great. I conducted him to a place in which the pavement had not been broken up, between two barricades. When arrived at the door of the first shop, No. 4, the Arch bishop staggered, and falling into my arms, said, My friend, I am wounded r His countenance re • mained so calm that I thought his wound slight. Assisted by some insurgents, I carried him into the shop. The fusillade recommenced, and the insurgents surrounded us with great demonstrations of grief. The fusillade about us was terrible—the Prelate only com plained of his legs, which I supported. An insurgent now said to me, looking at the Prelate, The scoun drel who killed him I would have shot if they would have let me !' This man repeated this several times energetically. If I should see him again I should re member him, and then we may learn the name of the assassin. We could soon have left the shop No. 26, the insurgents and a woman having brought us a mattrass, a sheet, and a pillow; but the litter we had made with muskets was incessantly unmade to clear the barricades which were on the route of the Quinze-Vingts. For getting his own sufferings, he only appeared to think of those of his faithful servant who was wounded. The little door of the Quinze-Vingts was opened for us, the curate of St. Antoine soon arrived and wished us to carry the Prelate into his apartment, where he was placed on a mattrass in the salon, the insurgents retired, and the Prelate asked for his private secretary, Dr. Cayol, and his servant Cyprien. I offered to fetch them, and whilst the cure of St. Antoine wrote a laissez passer motive,' the Abbe Roux asked to accompany me, and we passed the Rue St. Antoine. The concierge was uneasy as to his master; we directed him to fetch the doctor, and we ourselves took with us the secretary and the servant. On our return MM. Jacquemet and Ra vinet, who had rejoined the Archbishop, though with much danger, informed him of tha gravity of his wounds. The two servants burst into tears. Pierre, the servant, who was wounded, crept to the bed of the prelate, who asked his servants to pardon the little irritation he had occasionally exhibited towards them, and gave them his benediction. Whilst I kissed his hands he told the vicars to give me a little remembrance of him, on which they said he had himself better give it. I was present at the sacrament, but seeing that I could be no further useful, I retired, when M. rAbbe Roux lent me a sur plice, with whic h I could the more easily pass, as a priest, the advanced posts of the army." Admiral TREHOUART has been appointed to the command of the Mediterranean fleet in the room of Admiral BAUDIN. Prince LOUIS NAPOLEON has, it is said, declined taking his seat for Ajaccio in the National Assembly. The Moniteur publishes a notice to the editors of journals, informing them that no newspaper will be allowed to appear after the 12th of July, unless the proprietor has previously deposited the security in money required by the law of December, 1830. The funeral of the Archbishop of PARIS took place yesterday in the cathedral of Notre Dame. It was attended by the Ministers, the National Assembly, and the clergy. Lieutenant-Colonel CONSTANTIN, who had been appointed in conjunction with Colonel BERTRAND to inquire into the insurrection of the 23d June, was yesterday arrested, it having been proved that on the 24th he took part with the insurgents and directed' their operations. He was chef de cabinet to General SUBERYIE avid to M. ARAGO. The Moniteur does not contain the usual weekly statement of the Bank of France. BOURSE—PARIS, FRIDAY, JULY 7. THREE o'CLocx.—The Bourse was exceedingly ani mated to-day, and the rise which commenced two days ago made greater progress than on either of the previous days. The sensible and moderate measures proposed by M. Goudchaux, and the confidence felt by the mercantile world, that the wild schemes of MM.

The false and calumnious assertions of the Minis try, made through the medium of their organ, the Heraldo, that there was not an Englishman in Madrid who did not approve of the dismissal of Sir IL BULWER, has elicited the following reply, which has been signed by all the English resident in Madrid except two, both of whom have intimate relations with the Spanish Government. This document was sent to the Heraldo, but with that sense of fair play and that love of truth, which so peculiarly charac terise the Orleanist faction, it was refused insertion. It was, when the state of siege was raised, sent to the Clamor Publico, with the accompanying note to the editor : "TO THE EDITOR OF THE CLAMOR PUBLICO: Sir,—We are under the necessity of begging you to insert the following letter, which was sent to the Ileraldo, but which the editor of that paper refused to publish. (Signed) " JOHN MANBY. " Madrid, June 30, 1848. "TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALDO: " Sir,—ln your leading article of Tuesday, the 27th of June, which refers to the expulsion of Sir Henry Bul wer from Spain, we find, with astonishment, amongst other things, the following : " In respect to the conduct of their agent in Madrid we appeal to the English who reside in this capital— there are many, and amongst them not a few very re spectable. " Is there one who has not declaimed against the imprudence, the barefaced partiality, which has distin guished his conduct during his deplorable mission? Is there one who has approved of the character which he ammed, of secret agent, councillor, and protector of conspirators: The few English who reside in this place have much desired to remain as before, without meddling in the affair of Sir H. Bulwer, but, forced by the journal of which you are the editor to appear before the public, we are obliged to declare that the allusion made to us in the Herald° is a most unjustifiable one, against which we protest most earnestly, as well as against the sentiments and opinions which the journal in question gratuitously attributes to us.

The Herald() denies that the Ministry are about to retire, and declares that they will make no concessions whatever to England as regards the affair of Sir H. BULWER. Mr. LOFTUS OTwAY, the last remaining member of the British Legation, left Madrid on the Ist instant. It is reported that the Carlist General ArzA.t has been taken. The positions of the Carlist forces on the 2d were as foIIows—RIPALDA, a Navarrese, acting as Major- General, occupied the left of Zuviri, a town some dis tance north of Pampeluna, with sixty men. Briga dier Zuvias (his name is the same as that of the town) was at Zuviri with 200 men. General JOAQUIM ELIO, under the title of General-in-Chief of Navarre and the Basque provinces, has directed his forces, 700 strong, towards the Borunda, where it is not doubted he will greatly increase his forces. He has issued a proclamation stating that the principles he defends are those contained in the manifestoes issued by Count MoNTEaioLIN on the 23d of May and 12th of Sep tember, 1846. The exportation of the precious metals from Spain has been prohibited by the Government. No tra veller is permitted to take away mare than 201. in specie with him. A letter from the frontiers of Catalonia gives the following account of the proceedings of CABRERA. : " I learn that Cabrera passed the night of the 26th at Perafita, a small town of about 800 inhabitants, in the Province of Vich, between Barcelona and Manressa. This celebrated partisan is attended by about 250 in fantry and 20 horse. They have seized all the horses in the town which they thought fit for cavalry service. Boquica, Castelli, Elmuchaco, and Boras are with Ca brera, and have about 300 men more." Another cor respondent of the same journal writes from Aludes on the 2d, " Zubiri is advancing in the direction of Pampe luna with about 200 men; but it is said that he has been joined by a considerable number of the inhabitants of the villages through which he has passed. lam alto in formed that General Zariategui, chief of Zumalacar regui's staff, the man of the blontemolinist party best qualified to erganize an army, is with Zubiri. Some officers belonging to the garrison of Vera have joined the insurgents." FRANKFOUT. The German Parliament has appointed a Com mittee to draw up a Bill determining the responsi bility of Ministers. HANOVER. An important meeting of merchants and commer cial men took place at Hanover on the 30th, for the purpose of submitting to the Assembly of Frankfort their views on the future organization of the com merce of Germany. The following points were sug gested:—Equality of duties; unity of weights, mea sures, and money based on the decimal system ; unity of post-office and railway charges, establish ment of free ports and entrepots; unity of consular organization, with the obligation of consuls to inform commercial men of everything important in foreign markets, and, consequently, the establishment of statistical offices in the prii.cipal towns in Germany for the purpose of publishing the information supplied by the consuls. RUSSIA. The St. Petersburg,h Journal of the 13th (25th) June, contains the following : " We read in the Police Gazette of to•day that on the 3d of the present month some cases of spasmodic cholera have ben observed at Novua Ladoga and at Schlussel bourg; similar cases have manifested themselves in the capital. The patients have been promptly taken to the various hospitals, and a list of medical men and their ad dresses has been officially published and posted on each of the watch-boxes of the police, who have orders also to give the address of the nearest physician to any suf ferer who may be unable to read." A. frightful fire lately broke out at Orel, the entre pot of the corn of the Ukraine, in Russia, and de stroyed 1,237 houses and an imtnense quantity of corn. The total loss is estimated at upwards of 10,000,000 f. The EMPEROR has sent 150,000 f. to the inhabitants, and the Ministers 30,000 f. HUNGARY. The Augsburg Gazette states, that some time back the Hungarian Ministry sent an order to England for 50,000 muskets, and that their exportation was interdicted by the British Government. Conse quently, the Hungarian Ministry transferred its order to Belgium. We learn from Pesth, 27th ult., that on the 23d ult. 700 insurgents presented themselves before the town of Weisskerchen, in Hungary, and summoned the Commandant, Colonel DRECLIASN, to surrender, which he did, although he had a company of the line with him, and could have called out 4,200 Na tional Guards. WALLACHIA. Cholera is ravaging Wallachia. At Galatz, in a population of forty thousand, 746 cases have occurred, 237 of which have ended fatally. ITALY. LOMBARDY. Advices from Brescia state that a council of war was held at Peschiera on the 28th ult., under the pre sidence of CHARLES ALBERT, in which it was decided that the fort of Legnago should be taken before ope rations should commence against Verona. RADETZKY has ordered the dissolution of the National Guards in the towns he occupies. It is said that the black small-pox, the yellow fever, and the petechial typhus are making frighful ravages at Mantua. The block ade of Mantua, hitherto limited to the left of the Oglio, is to be completed. By the capitulation of Palmanova the garrison marched out with the ho nours of war, and no condition was imposed of not fighting against the Austrian troops for a certain period. Ossopo still resists, and Commander ZAN• NINI has announced that he has provisions and am munition sufficient to last him for some months. Zuccuf is said to be at Venice. General GARIBALDE landed at Genoa on the 29th ult. with 160 of his men from Monte Video. NAPLES AND SICILY. The Pensiero Italian° of the Ist states that a tele graphic dispatch has announced the complete defeat of General BUSACCHI at Castrovillari by the Calabrian insurgents. . _ . . Advices have been received from Messina to the 26th ult. The Neapolitan troops continued to be shut up in the citadel, and a considerable portion of the city lay in ruins from the effects of the cannon ades. At that date, however, the firing had been for the most part discontinued, occasional shots only being interchanged between the city and the citadel. The citadel, being a fortress of the first order, is almost impregnable ; its garrison was supplied with pro visions from Reggio on the opposite coast of Calabria. The Messinese were waiting with solicitude the pro gress of the Calabrian insurrection ; the capture of Reggio by the insurgents being daily expected. That event would be followed almost of necessity by the surrender of the citadel of Messina, for, not only would the garrison be then unsupplied with provisions and water, but the citizens would receive considerable military material from Reggio. YARMOUTH ELECTION. (FROM A CORRESPOND' NT.) The public generally are aware that a short time since a Bill was passed to disfranchise the Yarmouth freemen, they having been guilty of gross bribery, though, by the way, not more so, I believe, than many other places, as has been fully proved by the recent Parliamentary Com mittees. The writ arrived in Yarmouth on Monday last, and yesterday was the day appointed for the nomination, and to-day the polling will take place. There are three candidates in the field—Mr. Rumbold, 'who was returned some twenty-eight years ago, and has ;sat with little ex ception for the borough ever since; at that time a good Whig, but who very ill kept pace with the progress of political opinions, only voting for the repeal of the corn laws at the last moment, and that, as his leading par tisan states, only to satisfy his constituents. Then comes Mr. Bagshaw, son of the Honourable Member for Harwich, whose political opinions are well known as those of an honest, unflinching, commercial Liberal, in whose worthy footsteps the son is ably following. The third is a Mr. Saunders, of Taplow House, Bucks, in some way related to the Liverpool house bear ing that name, but more particularly known as a coad jutor of " the Railway King," in some coal and other speculative undertakings of his Majesty ; and, as it is generally understood, he supplied the Yarmouth Tories with this cock—weathercock, it might truly be said, if one may judge from his address, for untess one observed the name of the principal Tory of the borough at the commencement of the address, one could by no means make out in what interest the lion. Gentleman stands, for not one single sentence represents the principles which the Yarmouth Tories have ever p rofessed. For the last thirty years, with little exception, the borough of Yarmouth has with much seal and determi nation, in spite of Carlton Club and city princes' gold, returned men of the most liberal principles of the day, until last year, when Carlton Club gold so prevailed that the freemen were disfranchised, and thus shorten ing the constituency more than half. This half, who have now the right to vote—the householders—being well known, in the majority by far, to be in favour of the first principles of liberalism of the day; but, most extraordinary to relate, there is such power at work among those who used to be foremost in liberalism, al though they say they have not change.l their opinions in politics, yet they are doing all they can to bring about ' a compromise between Mr. Rumbold and Mr. Saunders, while, if the election were to go by ballot, there can be no doubt of there being five to three in favour of Mr. Bagshaw and such another. What are the motives of these gentlemen no one can tell ; but the disgrace they are heaping on their heads, by their folly, must prevent ' them ever again looking an honest in an in the face, if even it should not end in a second Tory coming forward at the nomination to-morrow and SIV3 nip the whole con cern, and make their disgrace (limb ly disgraceful. In short, if such were the case, it would be the richest piece of political tactics on record. Each party is carrying on an active canvass, and express Ole mselves satisfied, as far as they have gone ; but Mr. Brag haw's work is in vain. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—l thank you, from the bottom of my heart I thank you, A circle hero of congenial spirits thank you for breathing again, in the last two journals, the name of Lamartine in tones of love and gratitude. That name, you have led us, during the last tour months, by a his tory of his goodness and greatness, to admire, venerate, and love. He stood forth in your pae'es as the holy and Christian-like Apostle of Peace. We have seen him standing by the altar of his faith and hope, willing to offer himself up as a sacrifice for his c ountry. Day and night in the council chamber, on the tribune, in the crowd, or on the barricade, was he h eard pouring forth the inspirations of wisdom and love. We saw him daily entering on his holy mission, by devoutly taking leave of his family, and thus consecrating his in tentions, his feel ings, and his exertions, by the conscious and expected presence of his God. Shall, then, the envious and vague babblings of calumny, intrigue, and corruption, the venemous slander of despots, fools, and knaves, dare to assail and insult this messenger of peace on earth, and good-will towards man? No moral philosopher, no legal judge, no person of common sense, accustomed to form their judgment from evidence, but must have seen that Lamartine has given us again and again full security for his innocence, his patriotism, and his disinterested devotion. And shall he be forsaken?, A man now of sorrows and acquainted with grief, and shall we hide oar faces from him? Now led to condemnation without judgment, shall there be none to "declare his generation?" Shall the great poet, philosopher, patriot, historian, and Christian, be "de spised and rejected of men?" Shall he? Sir, for the honour and common credit of human nature, let it be seen that there are some, whose love and At al are consistent with their admiration of the purity, beauty, and sublimity of Lamartine's character. Your's &c. Cheltenham, July 7, 1848. GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES AUSTRIA. The following article, which may be regarded as the official manifesto of the Austrian Government in relation to the affairs of Italy, appears i❑ the Wiener Zeitttng of the Ist instant : " AUSTRIAN EMPIRE-NEGOTIATIONS FOR PEACE IN ITALY. " The love of peace of the Austrian Government is nowhere less regarded than in the country where it ought reasonably to be held most in estimation, viz., in Italy. Every one knows whence originated the attack in that quarter upon the Austrian Government, and how the latter was impelled to have recourse to force of arms ; but it is less known, or at least less ac knowledged, that notwithstanding this, the said Govern ment, animated with the noblest spirit of conciliation, has left nothing untried, since the commencement of the disturbances in that country, to restore peace, and to put an end as speedily as possible to the horrors of war. Its public declarations give the most unequivocal proof of this. " It endeavoured to soothe the excited passions of the people by the most paternal assurances for the future; and, with the greatest forbearance for what had been done, gave to its erring subjects the prospect of a con stitution on the broadest basis of possible liberty and in dependence—a constitution which far surpassed all their wishes and demands before expressed—a constitution which gave perfect recognition to their nationality, and guaranteed to them permanent prosperity. How such a voice was only replied to with hostility, is reserved for future history to explain, yet the Austrian Government did not allow itself to be thereby deterred. " Bearing constantly in view the restoration of peace and reconciliation, it did not desist from using every effort for the attainment of the end proposed, viz., the restoration of peace, even at the moment when the for tune of war was most in its favour; with this vew it caused the Provisional Government in Milan to be in vited to a negotiation on the basis of the entire indepen dence of Lombardy, annexing thereto only some reason able conditions of a financial and commercial nature; and in order to facilitate the negotiation, it declared itself ready, at the same time, to an armistice. Who could have believed that such a proposal, the pure and magnanimous object of which was so unmistakeable, should not have found the readiest reception, particu larly on the part of an authority which before then had loudly expressed the wish of negotiating on the basis mentioned? And yet such is the fact. " It remains doubtful whether the Provisional Go vernment at Milan found itself no longer able to accede to the conciliatory invitation by being under the in fluence of the terrorism of a fanatical tumult, or by the sudden adoption of other views. " From the known personal character of the members of the latter Government, the greatest readiness to co operate in the work of peace might justly have been expected; it is, however, a fact that the same Govern ment rejected the proposal for a negotiation under the pretext that the question to be discussed must be re garded and treated not as a Lombardian question simply, but as an Italian one; and that consequently an isolated negotiation could not take place. "Yet the Austrian Government can only have to do with Lombardy, and knows nothing of a power repre senting Italy. " At the same time the Provisional Government de clared that an understanding was only possible in case the condition of independence should be extended to all the Austrian possessions in Italy. It even hinted that South Tyrol was comprehended in those possessions. The world may judge whether such a reply to the Aus trian proposals, as magnanimous as they were concilia tory, was a proper, a decorous, a just, and a reasonable one ; or whether, on the contrary, it does not appear to be an insulting answer. " The world may judge whether it was fitting for the Provisional Government, in general, to make such con ditions—conditions which relate to countries and terri tories which are not only de jure but de facto still in possession of the Imperial , house of Austria, where the Austrian army has entirely the upper hand, and part of which even belongs to our common German father • land. The world may judge with what feelings the Austrian Government must receive such declarations, and what still remains for it to do after such a contemp tuous rejection of its conciliatory offers—after so wilful a repudiation of the re-establishment of peace. " The Austrian Government will not be thus diverted from its purpose; it will not cease to pursue its object— the restoration of tranquillity; it will not cease to make known, on every occasion, its wish and determined will in this respect; but she owes it to her own honour, and to that of her faithful nations, to put forth now all her warlike energies, in order, by force of arms, to bring about a peace which she has been unable to effect other wise, notwithstanding all her willingness so to do. She does not conceal her intentions from the world, nor does she conceal the means which she is resolved to employ for the attainment of so noble, so just an end. With equal frankness she sets about the prosecution of the war forced upon her, and declares her readiness for peace, the object of her wishes. She has not prevented an end being put to the effusion of blood. The Austrian Go vernment declared itself inclined to conclude an armis tice in connexion with the negotiation for peace. The Provisional Government at Milan, on the contrary, con siders both inadmissible under the present circum stances, devoted as that Government is to its ally, the King of Sardinia. The prolongation of the war, therefore, and of all its miseries, is chargeable upon those alone who have in every way refused to consent to a suspen sion of arms. The Austrian Government has done its part towards a pacification ; this merit cannot be denied it. May the other Powers who are also deirous of peace, who have an interest in its re-establishment, now on their part espouse the cause of humanity, and exert their influence for the speedy return of peace, on the basis of justice and reason. " The nations under the sway of Austria will not be backward in their exertions. The Deputies assembled at the Diet will know what suitable resolutions to adopt in order to enable that brave army which, under the command of its veteran General, has so brilliantly main tained its ancient reputation, by its fidelity and steadi ness in the face of superior numbers of the enemy, to conquer an honourable peace." The same journal contains the following official article :--. " M. Morichini, Archbishop of Nisibi, has been in Vienna for some days; he was the bearer of a Papal letter to his Majesty the Emperor, in which his Holiness as chief shepherd of the Catholic Church expressed his desire for the speedy restoration of peace in Italy, and commends to the clemency of his Apostolic Majesty any subjects of the state of the Church who may have been taken prisoners. M. Morichini intends to return imme diately to the Papal states." PRUSSIA. Intelligence has been received to the sth from Berlin. The new Prussian Government has deter mined to acknowledge the election of the Archduke JOHN of Austria as Lieut.-General of the empire : the Archduke has, it is said, undertaken in return to appoint a Prussian Commander-in-Chief of the army of the Confederation, and also to appoint a Prussian Foreign Minister. The Committee on the Constitution has recom mended the abolition of all feudal rights and pri vileges, DALETU. CRICIEET.—The match between the.

CITY, QUARTER TO 7 HREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was steady. Sales, 5,000 to 6,000 bales. The sales of the week have been 28,650 bales. Railway Shares had been flatter, with rather a declining market. The Bank of England returns for the week to the Ist instant are not essentially different from those of the last few weeks. The active circulation increases as slowly as ever, while the reserves of bullion and notes are augmented in nearly a triple ratio. The public deposits have very little advanced, and the other secu rities have not increased to any amount worth noticing under the stimulus of the reduced rate of interest. The comparison with the previous statement is as follows: Notes issued 27,646,505 Increase Rest Increase ... Publie Deposits 6,603.239 Increase Other Deposits 9,019,944 Increase Seven Day and other Bills Increase Government Securities Increase Other Securities Increase Notes Increase Bullion Increase Active circulation Increase The continental advices are again rather favourable respecting the state of the different Money Markets, but the greatest commercial benefit to be anticipated is from the armistice between Denmark and Germany. There needs, indeed, some impetus to our flagging trade, since the returns of the five months' exports to June 5, exhibit a falling off of 24 millions sterling upon the principal articles of British manufacture. The Stock Market is not looking quite so good this morning, although the foreign news seems favourable. The state of the account must, however, be taken as the principal cause of any fluctuation that may occur from this to the settlement. As was to be expected there is no surplus amount at the disposal of the National Debt Commissioners,. The weather is rather uncertain, and although generally favourable may check invest ments. Consols have been 87f to 864 for present transfer, and 874 to 87 for August. Exchequer-bills have been 325. to 355. premium, and India Bonds 20s. to 225. premium. Bank Stock is 191 to 193. New Three-and-Quarter per Cents. are 87} to 4 The amount of bullion exported direct from London during the week ending the 7th inst. was 218,000 ounces of silver, and 2,432 ounces of gold.
