The Sun. — London, England, 1841-10-14 00:00:00

EVENING SUN per quarter. Frequent high prices and enormoul uac,u,i,ions require lar:;er capital than a ohcap tinri regular trade. The dealer in dear loaves must, g.in ' more on each loaf, to repay his outlay, than the vendor of cheap bread, made of cheap corn, which comes into the market at a comparatively steady price. And what puts the English baler in this position ? Plainly, the Corn-laws, and nothity , else. In his avocation as a baker, he is not taxed by the Government for State purposes, more than the consumer. It is not there that the shoe pinches. The Corn-laws make the high prices ; the Corn-laws aggravate all natural fluctuation of price into the extreme transitions of the English market ; the Corn-laws make the difference to the baker, and; through him, to the consumer. Thus injustice multiplies itself in the process of perpetration. The poor labourer has to suffer, in addition to all his other wrongs, because the corn monopoly enforces the baker to employ a larger capital than would suffice for his business under an un restricted system. Bu. this difference in the cost of food to the consumer ; the difference, we mean, occasioned by the need for extra capital in the intermediate process, never reaches the pockets of the farmer. Still less can it arrive at those of the landowner. Nor does it enrich the baker, who would be as thriving on cheaper bread, requiring less capital in proportion, as he is on dearer bread requiring the larger outlay for less business. It neither enriches baker, farmer, nor landowner ; and yet it impoverishes the consumer. It is an utter waste. The theft is com mitted, and there is no receiver. The stolen goods are dropped by the way, and destroyed. The Duke of Rich mond does not pocket even the paltry penny, or far thing it may be, which he wrings from the poor child who is cry:ng for more breed. It is thrown into the dirt. He only gets out of it an infinitesimal lair centage. He, and his Grace of Buckingham, and the rest of our monopolist legislators " file their minds" for farthings, and fractions of farthings, out of the weekly wages_of handloom weavers. This is all quite true, and the consequence of the landlords making and upholding the Corn law is, that they get all the odium of causing the greatest difference in price, while only a very small portion of the pecuniary advantage goes into their pockets. Like many other mean and pltiful pilferers they have all the criminality and only a little of the profit. No infatuation ever surpassed theirs. The noblemen of Eng land have sacrificed honour, character, the re,pect - , and almost the adoration of the people, for a complete shadow. The silli ness of an infatuated boy, such as one en counters and reprobates almost every day, who destroys his own welfare from some drivelling dream, is not a bit greater than the silliness of the erewhile honoured, but now despised and dezesZed, noblemen of England. Our Contemporary concluded the article with some observations which we earnestly recom mend to the leaders of the Whig party. Ile said— Good radiates from good. The remotest beam par takes of the properties that belong to the fountain of light from which it emanated. And thus it is also with measures of a contrary character and tendency. Bad in themselves, they are bad also in their indirect and in cidental results. Wrong generates wrong—plunder pro duces waste—the tax on food diminishes indnstry—the monopolist legislator makes an involuntary oppressor and robber of each of a host of tradesmen and middle men between him and those on whom the accumulation of injustice ultimately falls. Everywhere there is in jury, and suffering, and bitterness, radiating from the great central curse of the Corn-laws. All these remarks apply as forcibly to the Bs. du . sy proposed by Lord JOHN RUSSELL as to the sliding-scale, who, with all his party ought to thank their stars that they did not succeed, and substitute the curse of a Whig Corn-law for the caise of a Tory Corn-law. It was reproach enough to the country of ADAM SMITH that it permitted a Corn-law to be passed in 1815 ; it was a still greater reproach to it that it allowed, when science had shed so much light on the question, another Corn-law to be enacted in 1828; but it would never have got over the dis grace and the scandal of passing another Corn law in 1841. We are rather inclined to thank the Tories for saving the nation and the Whigs from this disgrace, and for leaving us only the task of getting rid of them and of the Tory law 43, 1- : 1828, of which even the ignorant and not sen sitive Duke of WELLINGTON is ashamed. In another article our Contemporary seemed to share our sentiments of the proposed Whig Corr-law. For he said— The danger now is, not that there is to be no altera tion, but that the projected change will be as small in amount and as poor in. value as it is possible to make it. Such a change will have an ap pe arance of improvement without the reality; and slionW it be foisted on the public in the shape of a new Corn-law, not only will it be a gross delusion, but that very delusion will be used as an argument against all further change. A change in appearance, but not in reality, will, therefore, be very mischievous; it will create false hopes and unsettle existing arrangements, and yet leave matters substantially as they were. To prevent such a result—a result far more pernicious than no change at all—there ru t y.st be a steady and effective and well-sustained cora -1 , ation on the part of the opponents of monopoly. Let it be sustained, not with the irregular and fitful workings of an almost despairing spirit, but with the calm energy of those who feel that right and justice stand on their side. Let this be done, and not all the figments, fallacies, absnrdities,-and humbug with which they are opposed will prevent their obtain ing substantial justice ; they will break down stronger opposition than figment or fallacy, for they' will tri umph over the desperate and united powers of selfish ness and fraud. Once more, then, we entreat the free traders to con tinue their exertions nntired, and to continue them not only with zeal but with prudence. They have won nearly half the battle, in compelling the new Ministry tardily to announce their intention of making some change in the Corn-laws ; and they may, therefore, boast that the Whig and Tory Administrations have, the one yielded to them—the other fallen before them. What remains to be done is, to continue their exer tions, that when the announced change does come, it may be made a real and substantial one, and not an unreal mockery. Not an " unreal mockery," such as the substi tution of a fixed duty for a sliding scale—not a " new Corn-law"----not a " change in appear ance," such as the Whigs, unfortunately for themselves, proposed, and proposed to.) late, and on wrong principles—will now satisfy the nation ; it must have " substantial justice.," and if it be true to itself, substantial justice ;it will obtain. This kind of language, and the decided part lately taken by the Morning Chronicle on this question, following The Sun in denoa acing time Corn-law as plunder and robbery, have 'given us great satisfaction. We are now justified, we think, in having ever since 1838 steadily resisted every proposition for a fixed duty, and in sup porting throughout the demand for a complete abolition of the food taxes. Our Contemporary in 1538 stood much aloof from our opinions, and we rejoice in his conversion only as a testimony to the correctness of our views. May we take the opportunity of adding, lest we should be considered lukewarm in the great cause, now that it seems in a fair way of suc ceeding, that we have argued the question so much over and over again, that few or no ne of the habitual readers of The Sun can need any information on the subject. Years ago, and re peatedly, we were told their minds were 'made up, and that it was unnecessary to occupy - our columns day after day with arguments an the subject. We therefore did our duty on this ques tion long ago, and it must be henceforth , our pleasure to record the achievements of the peo ple in promoting the abolition of the Corn-Laws. We may also perhaps be allowed to say, that striking and instructive as are the differ ences in the prices of food in differen.' - ' places, which our Contemporary publishes, they are not the sort of arguments on which we like to dwell. It is impossible to adopt them, wizhout involving ourselves in a vast controversy on innumerable details as to the amount of wages, the manner of living, the iveight of taxation, the cost of productions in different countries, and of freight, &c. &c., which details, from the general and necessary ignorance of the community, have, through the whole contest, We noticed two leading articles in the Morn supplied our wily and insincere opponents, both ing Chro n i c l e o f Tuesday, on the subject of the in parliament an d ou t o f Parliament, with the Corn -laws, which gave us considerable satisfaz: - i means of making their most effeF.tive appeals to lion. l ln the first our Contemporary showed the prejudices of the people.

You have gained them by the blood of your veins, and the sweat of your brows, and by the loyalty of your hearts. The commerce of Bilboa shall flourish under the shadow of its laws, its wise protec tors. The products of the industry of the whole of this country shall be admitted to the benefits enjoyed by the rest of the nation, so far as this favour to be granted to your labour does notbecome a means of fraud and injury to the rest of Spain. Thelaw which has modified the institu tions of Navarra shall be declared null and of no effect. Neither at present, nor hereafter, Basques and Navar rese, shall any other modifications be made in your fueros, which have _existed for ages, except such as you yourselves shall consent to, and establish by the only legitimate representation of your country, your Juntas, and your Cortes ? The throne will never be ungrateful to those who become its wgis. The illustrious Princess in whose hands you are again about to place the sceptre of your Kings will never ravish from you your liberties, nor forget your heroism. Never will she suffer your laurels to be tarnished, your glory to be sullied, or your deeds of arms to remain without reward." After declaring that the nation does not and cannot admit as valid the renunciation of the government made by the Queen Regent at Valencia—that the Cortes, which declared the guardianship vacant, were radically illegitimate, and that this illegitimacy. .radically invali dated all their acts, the address concludes thus— The Paris Papers of Monday, which did not reach London till late yesterday evening, con tain a considerable quantity of intelligence from Spain, which we give below. On the 3d inst., (says the Journal des Debats, which is the date of the news from Madrid), the movement of General O'DONNELL was not known in the capi tal, though intimations ik an unpleasant nature had reached it, and measures of precaution had been taken. No insurrection at that period had manifested itself in the capital, but at Paris, pro bably, by those in the secret, such an event was anticipated. General ALCALA, indeed, accord ing to the French telegraphic despatch, has spead a report that the insurrection had been suppressed at Madrid, which may be the truth, and that ESPARTERO was on his march to the frontiers with a considerable army. In that case an in surrection must have broken out; but the tele graphic dispatch from Bayonne is unconfirmed by any details, which states that Madrid was tranquil on the evening of the fifth. From the frontiers the news is, on the whole, favourable to the insurrection. Nothing is gained to ESPARTERO by St. Sebastian remaining true to him, but his opponents gain much by two regiments of Guards on the frontiers having pronounced in their favour. General O'Dox- NELL has been reinforced, too, in the citadel of Pampeluna, by a considerable body of troops, and his party has gained various other trifling advantages. Overflowing as Spain and the frog , . tiers of France are with discontented soldiers, the insurrection will find plenty of aliment, and it will probably require time and energy to put it down. • " Noble and courageous inhabitants of the Basque Pro vinces and Navarre, Maria Christina of Bourbon is the sole Regent of the kingdom, the sole guardian of the illustrious orphans called to rule the destinies of this nation, as rich in glory as poor in happiness. Behold the banner of all loyal Spaniards, this banner which is this day raised at every point in the kingdom of Spain. It floats at the head of the army as it floats on your mountains. It is the symbol of our holy religion and our Catholic monarchy. We will triumph under it as our fathers have triumphed before us I" The Commerce and the France state that enrolments of persons to act in the Queen's cause in Spain are going on daily at Chaillot and Passy ; that twenty francs are paid down npon enlistment, and that all along the road from Paris to St. Jean Pied de Port stations are established, where the expenses of the route are paid. ,The Messenger says that the re port of the enrolments is entirely false. The Mani teur Parisien declares it to be "completely inexact," and adds, " several individuals have manifested the intention of taking service ; but, far from their offers having been accepted, they have been replied to in terms the most suited for diverting them from their object."— The Gazette de France says that orders have been sent off, after a Council Extraordinary of Ministers, to assemble corps of French troops on the Pyrenian fron tier. It is said that the partisans of the Queen have re quested the Carlist General, Villareal, to join them. The Infante Don Francisco de Paula is stated to have delayed his entry into Spain on arriving at Bayonne, and learning the serious state of affairs in the north of that country. " The Infanta Carlotta," says the Moni tear Parisien, " consort of the Infante Don Francisco de Paula, has not yet quitted Bordeaux ; but it is stated that her intention is to enter Spain by Jaca, on her way to Madrid." According to the Opposition press in Paris, soldiers for the cause of CHRISTINA are there openly enlisted, and forwarded to Spain. Ac cording to the Ministerial papers, the French Government has given orders to remove all the Carlist refugees from the frontiers. The Journal des Debats, however, is somewhat too anxious to have it believed that the French Ministry has preserved a strict neutrality, not to exc:ie a suspicion that the fact is different. At any rate, if the French Ministers have been neutral, the Journal des Debats is well acquainted with those who ought 1.0 have, but have not been, as neutral as it wishes the public to believe the Ministers have been. At the same time it betrays its own partiality, by endeavouring to make out a case against ESPARTERO, while it really casts suspicion on the French Government, by a great anxiety to prove that insurrection is, as it were, natural to Spain, and need not therefore have been ex cited by LOUIS PHILIPPE. The following extracts from the papers of Monday relate almost exclu sively to Spain ; of France itself they contain no interesting news. The Constitutionnel publishes the following letter from Bayonne, dated 7th instant : " The levy of bucklers which is taking place at this moment was long foreseen by persons who were in rela tion with the correspondents of the Paris Committee, and who act here as the medium of communication between the Committee and its adherents in Spain. Large re mittances of specie have succeeded each other, and we could mention the names of the banking houses through which they were made. The sum total voted by the Christino Committee in Paris positively amounts to three millions, a part of which was contributed by Queen Christina, and the other by private individuals. The chief of the Directing Com mittee was and still is, at least so it is asserted, M. Zea Bermudez ; his brother Joseph merely followed his instructions. The plan of insurrection was organised in Paris nearly three months ago, and with so little mys tery that all the salons and clubs which possess ordi nary means of information were acquainted with the hopes and projects of the enemies of the existing Go vernment in Spain. It was openly boasted that the re action must infallibly triumph, and the Spanish Em bassy more than once sent dispatches to Espartero to ad vise him to be upon his guard. About six weeks ago, Espartero, in consequence of a report which had reached him, summoned to his presence General Diego Leon, who had been represented to him as conspiring f.r the overthrow of the Government, and even for the death of Espartero. Diego Leon treated this accusa tion as mere calumny, and Espartero dismissed him with these words As you give me your word as a soldier that these denunciations are false, I am bound to believe you.' At this moment Diego Leon is represented as one of those who is to direct the central revolt at Madrid. The plan of the conspirators was to begin the move ment on the instant that the news of the insurrection in the provinces should reach the capital ; consequently the attempt world be made about the 7th or Bth. Several grandees of Spain had promised their support. According to the-same project, Queen Isabella and her sister, were to be represented to the people as prisoners in the hands of Espartero, and to be rescued by the con spirators. The movement at Madrid was, according to the plan laid down, to loe also military, and to be directed against the person of Espartero. The only fear amongst the partisans of the reaction at this place is lest Espartero should at the first signal of danger rally the Cortes, and . defy the revolt of the factions. As to Ribeiro, who Still occupies the town of Pampeluna, Gen. O'Donnell and the Committee of Paris had fully calculated on his joining them. At first they regarded his resistance as a manoeuvre ; now, however, they look upon it as a check. Mendizabel is in the Pyrenees, and is opposed to this attempt at insurrection." The Constitutionnel adds —" In additioh to our extraordinary correspondence from Bayonne, we will give some details which have this instant reached us. On the arrival of the news from Ptunpeluna, a Council was held by the directing com mittee in Paris. The instantaneous departure of the Queen was proposed, but the opinion of the President prevailed over the impatience of those who were desirous that she should proceed instantly to Spain. It was, therefore, resolved to wait for the ulterior movements. The Spanish Ambassador, M. Olozaga, immediately after the receipt of the news from Spain, went to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to have an explanatory conference with Monsieur Guizot. The explana tion was unsatisfactory. The Spanish Ambassador complained of the interest which the French Cabinet ap peared to take in this attempt at insurrection. M. Gui zot replied, that the French Cabinet had been utterly ignorant of what was passing. M. Olozaga then ex pressed the doubts which IN entertained on this subject, with the energy and explicitness prescribed by a sense of the justice of his cause and of his duty to a Govern ment which had been recognised by the French Cabi net, and to which M. Salvandy had been appointed as Ambassador. M. Olozaga yesterday sent off despatches to London." " General O'Donnell," says the Presse, "was in France a few months ago, on leave from the Spanish Govern ment. At the expiration of the term first granted, he applied for an extension of it, but was refused, and im mediately returned to Spain, and placed himself under the orders of Government. He petitioned for leave to reside at Bilboa, but Espartero would not grant this, and assigned Pampeluna as the place of his residence." " The citadel of Pampeluna," observes the Quotedienne, "was constructed by Philip 11., to keep the Navar rese in awe. It is one of the strongest in Europe, both from its situation and the regularity of its fortifi cations. It stands on a rock, which commands the whole town. The area is surmounted by five powerful stone bastions, further guarded by fosses, lunettes, tenailles, and ravelins. At the centre of the citadel is a fine square, or place d'armes, from which five streets lead to five bastions, all of which are casemated. It is capable of containing 10,000 men, with provisions and ammuni tion for three months. The citadel is divided from the town by an esplanade, which leaves full space for the action of the cannon upon the houses below. On the land side it is surrounded by marshes, which render it unapproachable." The importance of Pampeluna during the Peninsular war is too well known to need any other than the slightest allusion. Government has received the following telegraphic dispatch : "TOUlon, October Bth. The Maritime Prefect to the Minister of Marine. The colufan of General Baraguay d'HiUiers, which left Blidah on the 27t11;relt - rned on the 3d, after having re-victualled Milianah. The enemy made no serious opposition to his passage." The King, with the Queen and Madame Adelaide, ar rived at the Tuileries from St. Cloud yesterday, at half past twelve o'clock. Immediately afterwards his Ma jesty mounted his charger, and accompanied by the Dukes of Orleans, Nemo urs , an d Aumale, Marshal Soult, Ge nerals Pajol and Darriule, and a numerous Staff, re viewed the 57th and 63d of the line, the 10th Horse Chasseurs, drawn up in the Court of the Palace and con ferred Crosses of the Legion of Honour on several of the officers, non-commissioned officers, and soldiers. Imme diately after the review the King entered the palace, and the troops marched off to their barracks. The Moniteur Parisien states that the King of the Bel gians is expected at Paris at the end of this month, or the beginning of next at latest. A letter from Kirchberg, of the 29th ult., states that the Duke de Bordeaux was so well on that day that his Royal flightless was able to be completely dressed, and afterwards gave audience to all the i n ma t e s of the chateau. The Mode was seized yesterday by the police. Among other particulars given in a letter from Selles, the native place of Quenisset, it says, that he bore there the assumed name of Pappart, and was formerly known by the soubriquet saf Catolique, which he had borne from his school-days, though the origin of the appellation is not now known. One day, in a fit of rage, he struck and broke the arm of his father, a brave old man, who had served nine years in the armies of the Republic, was aa erwar d s for thirty-two years a forest keeper, and then di sc h arge d without the smallest pen sion. The May or o f S e ll e s wo uld have had Quenisset arrested for his b ruta l treat ment of his father , but was deterred by fear of the man's re ven g eful stud violent characti r. Advises from Blid a h o f the 23d ult., quoted by the Constitutionnel, state, on .the faith of a prisoner recently escaped from Tekederapta, that Abdel Kader is now with the greater part of kis regular infantry at a post called the Bridge of the Cheliff. This infantry now amounts to 5,000 men well paid and armed. The Emir has no intention of carrying on any other kind of warfare than one of perpetual harassings and surprises, and has issued a general circular recommending all his officers' and the Allied tribes to let the French pass without op position, and exhaust themselves by their own fatigues. Abdel Kader's supplies of warlike stores arc stated to be THE SUN, LO ND I 1 1 TIIURSDAY, OCTOBER 14 1841. eensid , 2rable ; cit7 , cr :',7,,r0cc0, wh ere he is much respcc.i;d :;y the hadve,, o tri,_ll near Oran, on the sea coast. At Tekedempta and Thusa there are altogether 88 French prisoners, who are in irons at the former place, but unfettered, though forced to work, at the latter. The Emir's interpreters, it is added, are French deserters, who hold various ranks in his regular troops, and he keeps up a regular corre spondence with his spies at Algiers, who are numerous, and are mostly traders settled in the town. All the in tended movements of the French corps are reported to the Emir with accuracy before they take place. " According to a letter from Sfax in the Regency of Tunis," says the Sentinelle of Toulon, " the English Vice- Consul resident there has been blamed by the Consul- General at Tunis for his conduct in the late affair con cerning the British merchants and the Custom-hone authorities. It was believed that Sir Thomas Reade had received information which was not in accordance with that sent him by his subordinate, who sent off another express to him on September 2d." The Boe,•senhulie says that much discussion is now going on in Sweden concerning . corn importation and exportation duties. The King is in favour of a fixed duty, but is opposed on this point by the landed interest, The question is at present under consideration before the Royal Council. The temporary Exchange erected at Marseilles for the merchants was opened on the sth inst. It is in wood, but is elegantly decorated, and will serve for the purpose it is destined to, until a stone edifice can be erected. A strike has occurred among the weavers at Cholet, near Nantes, and some trifling disturbances have ensued. Detachments of troops have been marched on the tow n, and though the men had, not returned to their work on the sth instant, it was expected that order would soon be restored. The Notional of Nantes says that the strike still continues. The troops had to clear the streets on the 6th, upon which occasion the women only, who formed the crowds, stood firm, while the men all ran away. No serious disturbances were apprehended. All those prisoners of the Central House of Deten tion at Clairvanx, who are Protestants, have been ordered to be removed to the House of Detention at Ensisheim, in Alsace, to which establishment a Protestant minister is to be attached. At Dieppe, three days ago, a quarrel rose between an English tar and an old French sailor, on the Quai Duquesne, from the ropes of their respective vessels being made fast to the same post, and which became the more aggravated from neither of the parties understanding the language of the other. The Englishman beat the French man, but the son of the latter coming up revenged the cause of his father, and forced his adversary to take re fuge on board his own ship ; whence he was afterwards taken by the police on a charge of having been the ag gressor, and is now in prison to be tried for the assault. A few days ago, as three ladies, sisters, of the com mune of Fumay, in the Ardennes, were crossing the Meuse, in a boat, one of them was caught by the tow rope of a line of boats which was passing, and was dragged into the river. One of her sisters, in leaning over, in the hope of saving her, fell into the water, and the third, in attempting to save the other two, would also have been drowned if she had not been caught by her clothes by the boatman. The bodies of the two who were drowned had not been found, and the third sister is said to have died of the shock occasioned by the catastrophe. _ _ APPAL OF MADAME LAFARGE. AFFAIR OF THE DIATIONDS.—This appeal to the Court of Cessation came to a hearing yesterday. The public seem to be satiated with this protracted affair, and therefore the audience was by no means numerous. Two of the relations of Madame de Leotaud were present in Court, and M. Carally took a seat at the end of the advocates' bench. The appeal was founded upon the four following grounds :—First, that the tribunal of Tulle proceeded to read the re port of previous examinations before hearing the Coun sel of Madame Laffarge, who wished to move for a postponement of the trial ; secondly, that after the reading of the report, the tribunal refused to hear the counsel, till after the examination of the witnesses in Court; thirdly, that the tribunal, after having heard the counsel, refused to grant, as it ought to have done, the delay required; and fourthly, that out of the six wit nesses who deposed against Madame Laffarge, only one was sworn previous to the delivery of his evidence. The appeal was supported by M. Daverne, an advocate for the appellant, and was replied to by M. Hello, the Ad vocate-General, who, in answer to the last ground, ad dnced the text of the judgment of conviction, in which it was stated generally that all the witnesses were sworn. The arguments being concluded, the Judges in Cessation retired, and remained two hours and a half in delibera tion. On their return the President delivered a decree, rejecting the first three grounds of appeal, but reserving its decision upon the fourth until the Registrar's minutes of the proceedings of the tribunal were laid before the Court of Cessation, in order that it might be assured whether or no the statement in the judgment, as to the oath being administered, was in conformity with what actually took place. Accidents among the men employed on the Paris for tifications have become so frequent and serious that field hospitals have been established close to nearly all the forts in progress, at which the medical officers of the re giments encamped are kept in constant attendance. As a patrol of Municipal Guards was passing No. 8, in the Rue St. Paul, between one and two o'clock the morning before last, it WU assailed by a shower of burn ing projectiles, which appeared to be lighted fuses and packets of squibs and crackers, thrown from a window on the third floor. Conceiving this to be the act of some madman, the guard called out to intimidate him, but they were answered by a return of flower-pots, vases of different kinds, piles of plates, the marble slab from the top of a stove, and other similar articles. Upon this one of the men fired his musket in the direction of the win dow, and the assault ceased. A report being made of this extraordinary occurrence to the Commissary of Po lice, the house was visited, and a man named Pierdon, pointed out as the actor in this disorderly scene, was ar rested. It is not said whether the man was drunk or mad. We have received the whole of the French journals of Tuesday, but they add little to the intelligence previously received from Spain. We have given in another column from them the proclamations of the Spanish insurgents, with the latest news from the French frontier. M. FRANK CANE, the Procureur-General, has been promoted to a Judgship at Rouen. His succes sor is M. HEBERT, a disciple of M. PERSIL, and everyway qualified to bend most obsequiously to the wishes of the Cabinet. " The accounts from Burgundy," says the Alsace of Strasburg, " represent the vintages of Beaune, Pommard, and Volnay, to be very satisfactory, and that wines of the whole of the Cote d'Or will be equal in quality to those of the most celebrated years; but the quantity is generally estimated at about one-half of last year's growth. In the Champagne country the vintage has commenced, but opinions are divided as to the pro bable quality of the wine. Those of Ay are expected to be inferior to the produce of last year, but those of Epernay, and Pierry, Cramant. and Montholon, are better thought of. The hills of Rheims will render only a small quantity of wine, but it will be good in quality. As to the Southern wines, they write from Perpignan that the temperature of the weather and the heavy rains hare been very unfavourable to the gathering, and the pro duce is expected to be low both in quantity and good ness. In Roussillon, in consequence of the grapes having begun to perish, the vintage, which is generally delayed till the beginning of October, was commenced and finished by the large arowers, and particularly at Rivesaltes, in the course of September." A correspondent writes from the Hague that on the 10th inst. the Second Chamber of the States General adopted, by 29 to 22, the budget of the Minister of War, amounting to 12 millions of florins (30 millions of francs). A chapter, with 500,000 florins for unforeseen expenses, remained to be voted. The fifth chapter of the budget of the Minister of the Interior had been voted by a majority of 32 to 21. The Minister of the Interior, M. Van Schimmelpenninck, had previously de clared that he would retire from office if the chapter should be rejected. A Vienna letter says :—" We hare seldom had so many members of the Imperial family assembled here as at the present moment. There are twenty-three Arch dukes and Archduchesses now at Court, and their Im perial Majesties have just been joined by the Prince of Salerno." The Manheini Gazette, on the authority of letters from Vienna, speaks of some political arrests in that city connected with a new conspiracy of the " Sclavic Democrats" said to hare been discovered in Galicia, and in which several important personages are reported to be compromised. It is supposed that there is a secret understanding between the conspirators and the " Sclavic or Russian aristocrats." BOURSE—PARIS, TUESDAY, OCT. 12. first Highest Lowest Last Price Price. Pricy.

Oct. 9. SPAIN. PARIS, OCT. 1L...41re find in the Ministerial evening papers the following telegraphic despatch " BAYONNE, OCT. 10, 8 A.m.— The Chief of the Ma ritime Ojfice to the Minister of the Marine.—They wrote to me from Passages last evening, as follows. Opinions are divided at San Sebastian. The garrison of the cita del has given up a post to the militia, which is contrary to the movement, and is master of the town. Hostili ties have commenced between Urbistondo and General Alcala. The latter has circulated a report that the movement is repressed at Madrid, and the principal in stigators chastised, and that Espartero is moving towards the provinces with 14 battalions, and a regiment of ca valry. Two of the regiments of guards on the frontiers of Navarre have declared for the movement." " According to a telegraphic despatch from Bayonne, of the 9th instant," says the Messager, " Madrid re mained undisturbed up to the evening of the sth, but no despatches or letters had been received, as the mail was intercepted on its way." The following details of the movement at Pampeltwa have been communicated to the Sentinelle by a person who has arrived from that place, and for the authenticity of whose statement that paper vouches:— " On Sunday morning, the 3d instant, two hundred men of the 12th regiment of Light Infantry, entered the citadel to reinforce O'Donnell. In the afternoon, a squa dron of Lancers, a half company of Infantry forming the garrison of Tafalla, a small town, 124. miles from Pampeluna, arrived to reinforce General Ribeiro. On the same day a convoy of provisions, sent to O'Donnell by the Alcalde of Los Arcos, with a letter announcing that he might rely on all he had asked for, was taken. O'Donnell, on being informed of this capture, notified to the Captain-General that if his communications were in• tercepted he would bombard the town. On the other hand, the Captain-General sent for the relations of M. Carriquiri and Ribed, merchants of Pampehma, who have joined O'Donnell in the citadel, and told them that if any injury were to be done to the town by O'Donnell their lives should pay for it. In the afternoon of the 4th, a battalion of about 500 men of the regiment of Girona arrived to reinforce the garrison. This battalion had re mained nearly 25 hours at Villabu, about a mile and a quarter distant from Pampeluna, undecided as to whe ther it should declare for Christino, or remain faithful to Espartero. An end was put to its hesitation only by sending to it a detachment of the same regiment, to ex hort it to remain true to its duty. Three bands of music, viz., that of the National Guard, and those of the two regiments of infantry, went to the gates of the town to receive the battalion; they returned, playing patriotic airs, which the troops joined in with great en thusiasm, and shouting—" Long live Espartero—Long live the Queen." On the same day, several officers, amongst whom was the brother of General O'Donnell, succeeded in entering the citadel. A portion of them, headed by General Ortigozo, almost immediately left it to scour the country for partisans. The Captain-Gene ral has also ordered the province to be scoured by the Mochuelo, in order to paralyze the efforts of the enemy, and obtain additional force. The Carabineers and coast guard of Navarre are gone to join the garrison of Pampeluna." Advices from Bayonne, in the Moniteur Parisien, state that Jareguy was at Villafranca when he declared for O'Donnell. The movement in favour of the Queen Dowager was extending both in Biscay and Alava, The regiment of Segovia, quartered at Santona, and the ca valry sent out from St. Sebastian to act against the Queen's party had declared in favour of it. " The party opposed to the movement," says this journal, " has suc ceeded in detaching in its favour a battalion of the regi ment of Girona and some coast-guards of Navarre. Up to the sth, the garrison of Tafalla had not consented to enter into the movement; it seemed, on the contrary, willing to declare for General Ribeiro." The Sentinelle of Bayonne, 7th instant, says that Mu , nagorri has arrived in that town. , The Presse, on the other hand, which is likely to be well informed in these matters, states he is at Ataun, and has put himself at the head of a band of peasants. O'Donnell, according to the Sentinelle, gives sf. a day to the soldiers who first joined him. The Memorial Bordelais says:—" The Madrid courier of the 2d inst. has not arrived at Bayonne, having stop ped in Castile on learning the partial defection of General Piquero, who commande at Vittoria. A courier from the English Ambassador, who left Madrid on the 3d, has reached France without Any difficulty, having left the Spanish capital perfectly undisturbed. Generals Ribeiro and Alcala are still at the head of their troops, one in Navarre, and the other in Guipuscoa, keeping the people and the rebels in check, and waiting for the orders of the Regent. St. Sebastian is kept by the national militia, which remains faithful to the established Government, and it appears that the citizens in all the towns refuse to compromise themselves." " The firing which opened on Pampeluna on the sth," says the Messager, " was occasioned by an engagement, without any result, between Ortigosa dud :.he troops un der Ribeiro, outside the citadel. O'Donnell had pre viously declared that he would thus act every time his adherents were attacked." Three documents, dated the 4th inst., have been pub lished at Vittoria, by M. Manuel Montes de Oca, for merly Minister of the Marine in Spain, and now bearing the title of " Member of the Provisional Government of Spain, during the absence of her Majesty the Queen Re gent, Maria Christina of Bourbon." In the first, which comprises three articles, it is declared that the govern tzent which is to direct Spain during the absence of the Queen Regent having been solemnly proclaimed in the Basque provinces and Navarre, all persons not submit ting to this government within twelve hours from the re ception of the decree are adjudged traitors, and are to be dealt with accordingly. All civil and military officers, and all soldiers, are absolved in the name of the Queen Regent from all services contrary to the spirit of this decree, and from their obedience to " the illegal and usurped authority of the pretended Regency of Ge neral Espartero."—The second document is a procla mation to the soldiers of Navarre and the Basque pro vinces, reminding them of the violence done towards the Queen Reg ent by taking away the government from her, who by h er beneficence had *on the title of " Mo ther of the People ;" representing to them the evils and insults that have since been heaped on the army, the oppression suffered by the young Queen and her sister, and calling on them to draw their swords in defence of these Princesses.—The third document is addressed to the Vasco-Navarrese. It commences by dwelling on the ingratitude and treachery of Espartero towards his Royal benefactress, and points out how much the most sacred institutions of the nation have been contemned and insulted by the revolutionary party now in posses sion of the Government at Madrid. It alludes in terms of high congratulation and praise, to the town of Bilboa, " the invincible," for the manifestation made some time ago, by its authorities and inhabitants, to Queen Christina, and also to the testimonials of respect and skW'en 44 A = ,4 W f U 1111 WE 6 AND Vublit 14: pinion. " Who runs may read:" rozzunr. As the insurrection progresses in Spain, the King of the French ostentatiously parades his sympathy for the insurgents in the person of Maria Christina. On Sunday his Majesty, accompanied by the Queen and Madame Adelaide, his sister, visited queen Christina at her hotel in the Rue des Courcelles. Such a visit at such a time must be regarded as in the highest degree hostile to the Spanish Government. What would the French Govern ment say were Espartero, as Regent of Spain, to pay visits to the young Duke of Bordeaux, at a time when an insurrection in his name had broken out on the Py rennean frontier ? Would they not regard such an in decent proceeding as almost tantamount to a declaration of war ? The Gazette de France states that a Council of Mini sters was held on Sunday, to deliberate upon the menaces of the Spanish Ambassador relative to the countenance given by the Court to the Spanish insurgents. It was decided, in order to quiet Spain, and to preserve the ap pearances of neutrality, to make a show of preventing Queen Christina from leaving Paris. A telegraphic despatch was also sent off to the provinces, to prevent the Carlist officers from entering Spain. As these offi cers are not disposed to bare a blade in support of the pretensions of Christina, their detension in France can be of little consequence to the Spanish Government. No orders were, however, issued to prevent the partisans of Christina from crossing the frontier. The National of Tuesday states that the report of the attempted insurrection at Madrid, on the night of the 7th instant, communicated to the ex-Regent, differed very materially from the published telegraphic despatch. According to that Journal, Espartero's victory was com plete, and the leaders of the insurrection, taken with arms in their hands, were shot. The number reported is thirty. The object of the conspirators was to carry off the young Queen and her sister. The wealth of Queen Christina is enormous. Of the property of King Ferdinand she carried out of Spain in gold and jewels to the amount of sixty-five millions of francs. She has immense stuns vested in the Securities of England, France, Russia, and the United States. With the sole exception of King Louis Philippe, Chris. tina is the richest individual in Europe ; and. yet her avarice, more than' her ambition, prompts the attempt to revolutionize Spain. It was reported on the Paris Bourse that General Don Diego Leon was one of the conspirators shot . in Madrid by order of the Regent: The fortress of Parnpeluna, now in the possession of General O'Donnell, is well provisioned, and mounts sixty guns. It is so strong that military men in Spain have declared that it is capable of resisting an army of 80,00 D men with a hundred heavy guns. The Sultana Ebedoullah, sister of the late Sultan Mahmoud, died at Constantinople on the 17th ult. As is customary in Turkey, she was buried on the same day. The great Officers of State attended the funeral, which was otherwise strictly private. PUBLIC OPINION. The Morning Chronicle remarks, in a leading article suggested by the late abortive attempt at Norwich of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts to hold its public anniversary :--" Religion and philanthropy must pay the penalty of Tory success. They have lost their fairest opportunity for the promo tion of their benevolent enterprises. The impressions which they have been accustomed to make on the minds of listening crowds can no longer be repeated. 'This is what the Church has got by its alliance with successful faction. It has won Peel and lost the public. The clergy who cared about the propagation of the gospel in foreign parts should have looked more sternly on the violation of gospel precepts at home. Their missions must suffer for it. Their allies have paid the multitude not to hear reason, and the result is not surprising that they should refuse to hear reli gion. If the case were rightly understood by the dig nified clergy, as they retired in discomfiture from the Norwich meeting, they must have felt that to this hu miliation they had been brought by the very acts that bore the leaders of their party into the Treasury. We hope the lesson will not be lost upon them."—The strict alliance between the Church and the Tories, which the Chronicle here speaks of, is an alliance which will be beneficial to neither party. So far from strengthening, it will have the effect of weakening both. Instead of the one giving the advantage of its popularity to the other, it is a clubbing of two unpopularites. The Church should have kept aloof from everything in the shape of party ; the Tories should have taken up a neutral ground between the Church and the people. As the two are now situated, they can only embarrass each other. The one will act as a constant drag-chain on the other. Reverting to the hacknied question of the Corn-laws, the Post says:—" We have met with many sincere and intelligent men who thought that on mercantile, but more especially on what are called monetary' grounds, it would be good policy to change the present Corn-law to a system of fixed duties, as on other foreign commo dities. They have always failed to convince us by their arguments, however we might admire the ingenuity with which they were framed. But we never met any sincere and intelligent man who maintained the opinion that a repeal of the existing Corn-law, or any modification of it, would be productive of great benefit to the working classes, and give them more food, and bet ter food, than they generally have at present."— By " sincere and intelligent " men the Post, of course, means Tories, and the majority of these would naturally be disposed to speak with. disapprobation of a repeal of the Corn-laws. But no one questions the sincerity and intelligence of Mr. Cobden, or of Colonel Thompson, or of Earl Radnor, and those other Liberal landholders who have such a great personal stake in the question ; and these, to a man, are in favour of a revision of the impost. Poll the sincerity and intelligence of the coun try, and it will declare, by an overwhelming majority, for a repeal of the Corn-laws. The Times asserts that the differences between the Whigs and extreme Radicals are infinitely greater than those between the Whigs and Tories, adding :—" With a common interest in whatever upholds the rights of pro perty and rank, as well as in the zealous furtherance of temperate freedom and national prosperity, the Whigs and Conservatives are ranged in opposition to each other chiefly on questions of time and degree. On almost all the vital principles of public policy, professedly at least, they are agreed. If we except, perhaps, the manner in which a system of national education ought to be regulated; or the treatment that should be extended to a refractory colonial faction ; or the instructions and persons best fitted for accelerating the objects of an expeditionary force; or the judicious econo my requisite to keep the patronage of Government and the national resources in a healthful condition ; or the means most advisable for maintaining the interests of all classes in the community, with a favourable and indul gent leaning towards the poorest—if we except the diversity of view prevalent among Whigs and Conserva tives on such matters as these, we hardly know of a sin gle question on which they are essentially at variance."— Your " If" has a wondrous virtue, in the way of ex ceptions. If we except the circumstances that the Whigs are in favour of Reform, and the Tories against it ; that the one party opposes monopoly, and the other sup ports it ; that the Whigs would go slowly forward, and the Tories hastily retrograde ; that the Whigs recog nise the existence of the people, and the Tories act as if they had no existence at all, as if, in short, the country consisted solely of their own party ;—if we except these trifling differences, then the IVhigs and Tories are as like each other as two peas ! Such is the reason ing of the Times, which, by means of an accommodating " it," reconciles all the differences between day and night, light and shade, and proves that they closely re semble each other ! The Morning Herald says—" Not a single outbreak, not a solitary row (to say nothing of the dignified extra vagances of an insurrection) can be conjured up to jus tify the fears or corroborate the foresight of the late Administration ! When we compare the tranquil evolu tion of passing events—the unbroken succession in which all the functions of Government and of society are deve loped, in their accustomed operation—(despite the dis carded postulates of Mr. Baring's budget)---with the pro phecy- of famine,' and the terrible denunciations of the Anti-Corn-law confederacy, denunciations of war and pes tilence: we cannot wonder at the gloominess and resent ment of the parasites of a Whig Government and Whig measures. We can offer them, on the other hand, no consolation to countervail the discomfiture of. their battle—the disproof of their prophecies. They must be content with the bitter consolation that their wis dom is foolishness'—that all which they have said and sung so long and so solemnly, of the disastrous con sequences of disregarding their doctrines and their an nouncements, is in the course. of gradual but cer tain repudiation. The bounty of Providence has laughed to scorn their predictions of evil."--The Herald is here shouting before it is out of the wood. The " tranquil evolution of passim; events" is a flourishing and consolatory figure of speech, got up to tickle the ears of the Tories, but it has little or nu meaning. Events are only tranquil just now, because the people are sullen—because they have not yet got over the surprise occasioned by the apathetic conduct of Ministers. But the long dreary winter has yet to make itself felt by the half-frozen, half-starved thousands in the manufacturing districts ; the cup of bitterness has yet to receive the last drop which will cause it to overflow—and then, what will become of our Contemporary's fine flourish about the " tranquil evolution of passing events ? "There is u spin ••t at work in the country—not the less dangerous be cause its effects are at present unseen—which, if not neutralised _by some enlarged, remedial measure of po licy, will ere long break out with all the active, unrelent ing energy of despair. The Cheltenham Examiner, speaking of the Tory Mi nisters, observes :—" Lord Ripon is, as we all know, a t u rncoat on a small scale , a nd conse q uen t l y ranks as one of the honest. S ir James Graham and Lord Stanley, being apostates o f g reater note, are, we su ppose , more honest still. While Sir Francis Burdett. the very incar nation of apostacy, must, as a natural corollary, be the ne plus ultra of honesty; as for Wellington and Peel having shown something like an adherence to principle, they may be of course regarded as the canaille of the party, men who would hardly pass muster in the ' Honesty' club." The Cambridge Advertiser addresses the following warning observations to the Monopolists:—" Sir R. Peel is for the present the mere creature of the landowners. They who put him in will turn him out again.' But he declares that he will be free ! True he is now bound heed and foot, and has himself passively assisted to put on the fetters ; but the time will come, when, like ancient Pis tol devouring the leek, he will be horribly revenged. We believe him! We have firm faith in his consis tency. Monopolists! put not your trust in Sir R. Peel."
