Something like that, but written with words of fire, will be the character branded on the aristocracy ofEng land by that democracy from whose stern justice they cannot escape. Better were it to have no name in the records of the world than to be in scribed in them with imperishable ignominy. The present condition of society is provoking a discussion into first principles, and compelling men to fill back on the rights they derive from nature. Independently of the discussion on the great principle of obedience, which has been fairly opened up, and will be followed out in due season, a commencement has been practically given to the discussion of another most important quest tion, namely, the extent to which Governments should extend the sphere of their operation's. Strange as it may seem, though Governments have been so long established, and though their acts have been repeatedly examined, no writers have yet laid down with accuracy the boun daries within which Governments should confine their labours. What can best be done by indi viduals, by companies, or must be done by the' , power of the whole community wielded by the Government, is nowhere defined ; and as the chiefs of a Government are ambitious or negli gent, so they interfere with every form of human business, or allow individuals to pursue their own course. Between these opposite and extreme systems of let the people do for themselves and do for them, the limits at which a Government can or cannot act with advantage are not defined, and must now be discussed. Till lately England was considered to be the model of the system of letting the people do for themselves ; and philosophical writers on the Continent, such as M. B. CONSTANT, M. SAY, Madame DE STAEL, W. SCHLEGEL, &c., were wont to point to our canals, our roads, our ma nufactures, our machinery, our agriculture, our commerce, our noble mercantile marine—all the results of private enterprise, uninterfered with, as proofs that the system of letting the people do for themselves was infinitely the most advan tageous. France, particularly under the Impe rial regime, was considered a model of that sys tem which would do everything for the people; and her one great and little-used canal, her great military roads intersecting the country, while every other means of communication was neglected, her splendid and well-ordered Court, with every little hook and peg of a gigantic Ad ministration surveyed and fixed in its proper place, while her manufactures and her commerce were most slovenly, imperfect, and limited; her splendid national monuments, and her want of all useful tools, even to a common knife, were always quoted to show that the system of doing every - thing for the people by the Government was most mischievous in its results. Latterly, hove rev, that knowledge seems to have vanished from amongst us, and England, conquered by the arts of France, whom she conquered, has bowed her head to this mischievous slavery. Under the influence, we regret to say, of pseudo- Liberals and Doctrinaires, as well as of mar tinet military Tories, she has retrograded to French ignorance and French presumption, and is now continually acting on the French system of allowing the people to do nothing for them selves, and of doing everything for them, except paying - their taxes. . _ Circumstances now lead men to discuss this great question, which seems latterly to have lost ground in theory as well as in practice. BEN THAM.-WIIOSC denial of natural rights led him to make the Government decree and decide con cerning all things—and his disciples, have found 'more:willing ears in Courts and Houses of Par liaMent than SMITH, whose practical observa tion of , the mischievous consequences of nume rous commercial regulations, and beautiful ex tension of the principle that what an individual found for his advantage could not he injurious to nations, led him strongly to advocate th e principle of let the people do for themselves. It is, unfortunately, a fact that the disciples and followers of SMITH, not being recluse stu dents like him, but men plunged in the affhirs of the world, engaged in commerce, Mem bers of the Legislature, writers for newspapers and for bread, or active aspirants for high legal honour: 1, have in their practice forgotten the pre cepts o f their master, and have perverted the natural . science of the production and distribu tion of wealth, which he cultivated and taught as a philosopher, into an instrument of government. The doctrines of BENTHAM, and the practices of SMITLI'S followers, have almost banished from the public mind the theory as well as the practice of let ting the people do for themselves. It is plain, however, that the time is coming, if it be not come, when this theory must be revived, and when the practice of doing everything for the people! must be diligently examined, and the boundaries of legislation defined and enforced by a powe: r superior to the Legislature. Contributions, it appears, have been received from America, to aid the Anti-Corn-law League, which places the Corn-law in a fresh light. It is no longer a mere English question—it is not even a European question—it is a question which concerns the whole family of civilised man, and all future time. It is a question be tween aristocracy and democracy; and the grow ing democracy of America is making common cause with the democracy of Europe. It is no longer merely a pecuniary question, or a ques tion of commerce, or even a question of life or death, but a question of high morality, by which the character of the present actors on the stage of life will be stamped or branded in all after ages. We have sometimes thought that we would appeal to the better feelings of the aristocracy, that we would place before them the pining, suffering poor—the ragged, toiling, and half nourished women, who call titled ladies their sisters and fellow- countrywomen, and who have not nourishment for their infants—the hungry, crying children, of the towns, and the half starved, industrious workmen,—with our sus pended manufactories, teeming with greater wonders than ever were recorded or imagined in antiquity —our halting and decaying com merce, which shares that universality which is characteristic of the Supreme Being; and, asking the aristocracy to look at all these, also appeal to their generosity whether they could, for any gratification of their own, peril these mighty in terests, or run the risk of adding one-thousandth part of a grain to the heart-rending distress of the people. But such appeals, by us at least, must be made in vain, and we turn to a sterner vi ew, suggested by the high moral and historical cha Meter, which . the question has now assumed. The aristocracy must desire, we know they do desire; to have a fair place in history; but let us inform them that the history of this age will be written by the democracy. M. DE TOCQUE 'ILLE asserts, and appears to have proved, that the democracy are, every where destined, in spite of aristocratic laws, to triumph in the end. Who ever takes a large view of society, and traces the gradual rise of the middle classes, the gradual emancipation of the lower, and the gradual ab sorption of the aristocracy into the others; and whoever considers that GOD creates no aristo cracy but the aristocracy of talent, which is op posed to a mere political and pecuniary aristo cracy, must be convinced that M. DE TOCQL E . VILLE is correct. Look at the gigantic demo cracy across the Atlantic, and look at the effect it has had in fifty years on the people of Europe, and ask what will be its effect, fifty Years hence,when its population is sixty millions ! Democracy must triumph, and that at no distant day. Democracy- will, here after, write the 111E tory of our times. What will it say of the Eng lish landowners? With what features will it transmit them to posterity? They are fond of fame, desirous of the world's homage ; let them cast forward their glance, and ask what will be said of them by a democratic historian ? We are unable to sketch them, but we imagine that such an historian will describe them as a compound of vile sordidness, heartless avarice, and base ingratitude ; claiming power to protect the people, and betraying them to enrich themselves; as maintained in noble splendour by the willing toils of admiring subor dinates, and rewarding them by snatching the , It is. worthy of notice that the principles laid down I )y the heads of the starvation party perco late through all their inferiors, and petrify their sensibVities. Even City Correspondents, in whom. we might expect to find a decent love of liberty T, are as much inclined to be tyrannical as the; most rigid follower of the iron Duke. The I amity article of the Morning Post, yester day, i or example, contained the following pas sage, • which should be read as a piece of news, as an intimation that the Exchequer bill ras cality has been long known to the notables of the Ci ty, and as a proof of the petrifying nature of Tory principles : In Aui ;ust, last year, the exploits of Mr. Rapallo be came a. Ir :atter of notoriety. He was actively engaged in the outfit of Louis Napoleon's expedition against a friendly :Power, and, if we are correctly informed, it was at the tit ne privately intimated to Lord Melbourne by letter 'that if search were made at his (Rapallo's) office, documents sv ould be found of a most alarming descrip tion. Consulting his personal ease alone, Lord Mel bourne paid. no attention to the communication, and hence it is 'that the consequences of the Exchequer bill fraud fait a a his successors. nterest : The pa ragrapli may be a tissue of falsehood, but the tr uth it tells of the mind of the writer is palpable and certain. He would have had the Prime 11 fi ulster send a police officer to examine Mr. RA P.ALLO'S desk, at the suggestion of a pri vate, ant i probably an anonymous, letter. That is a terribl E.-• tyranny. The letter could only have been thr u st into the fire, and had Lord MEL BOURNE a .ttended to such a sneaking communi-. cation hi would indeed have been deserving of severe re proof. Such a mode of proceeding as is recomn a :nded by the Post would be spurned by the me 'chants of London as extremely dan gerous. Should Sir ROBERT PEEL, on private and sec r et information, send the police to ransack the de: :of a single stock-broker, the merchants of Lon don would soon repent the support they had gi wren to the Tories. The •correspondent of Lord MELBOURNE, who ever h k! might have been, knew, we are to infer from the Post, all about the Exchequer bill fraud in August, but he made no communication on th‘ 3 subject, except in such a way as he must be still could not be noticed. If there be any such ;an, he has been, let us inform the Post, a participator in the crime. He kept the secret, and p ermitted the great forgery to be success fully carried on, never, for what he knew, to be deter :,t ed. Such a man ought to be known ; and we c a:d on the Post to produce the author of the asse ction that Lord MELBOURNE was informed, by 1 .etter, in August, that some strange secrets mig tit be learntby breaking open Mr. RAPALLO'S desk and then the public will probably lay its ham h ; on another party to one of the greatest fraui that was ever concocted. Tali - I; OTHO of Greece is so well satisfied with the ath iirable way in which he has governed his kinv,d n since the date of its independence, that his M.A. TESTY now thinks of nothing but how he ma y e x tend the blessings of his paternal sway to al f the European subjects of th e O ttoman Porte. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, NOVENAER 24, 1841. Accordingly, in conjunction with M. PISCATORY, the Frond' Agent, recently on a diplomatic mis sion to Athens, the imperturbable OTno formed a project for demanding from the Porte the ancient Kingdom of Thessaly, in order to esta blish a better defined boundary between himself and the SULTAN. Thisproject was eagerly em braced by France and Russia, and, according to letters from Constantinople of the 31st ult., the French Ambassador, the Charge d'Affaires of Russia, and . the English Minister Plenipotentiary met on the night of the 20th, at the residence of the Reis Effendi, to take it into consideration. This precious scheme would have been brought on sooner, only it was known that Lord PAL MERSTON was opposed to any change of the present boundary line of Greece. The Chronicle of this morning has an article upon this subject, but our Contemporary does not appear to know why Russia and -France sanction such a scheme, and why they are so eager to draw England into it. Now the fact is, that Russia regards Greece as no better than a Russian province, which it only re quires an European war to subject to her sceptre. Any extension of Greece only in creases the reversion of any interest of Russia in that kingdom. France, on the otherhand, isjealous of the influence we have acquired in Turkey, by restoring Candia, Syria, and the Holy Cities, to the SULTAN, and. therefore she does all in her power to make us unite with her in,a dishonest scheme of Turkish spoliation, which she well knows is calculated entirely to'desti•oy that in fluence. France dues not want ''so much •to aggrandize Greece, as to ruin the moral influ ence of England in Turkey. In this policy Russia is but too happy cordially to co-operate with her. The Russian and French Cabinets are said to have calculated a great deal upon aknown diver sity of opinion between Lords PALMERSTON and ABERDEEN, when the present boundary of Greece was settled. Now, whatever then might have been the opinion of Lord ABERDEEN, we canr.ot believe that, with the experience he has since had of the stupidity, incapacity, and ingra titude of OTHO, his Lordship would now sacrifice Brit: sh interests in Turkey to gratify the vanity of this contemptible little Kingling despot. Our relations with both Turkey and Greece have entirely changed since that period ; nor is the fact less important, that a revolution in the in ternal administration of Turkey by the procla mation of the Hatti Scheriff of Ghulhane has been followed by the enjoyment of more constitu tional liberty in the Ottoman empire than is known to exist practically in Greece. The torture i s unknown in Turkey; in Greece no political offender is safe from its application. If the Tories be wise, they will depart as little as possible from the Foreign policy of Lord PALMERSTON. Rus sia and France are digging a pit for them, into which they will speedily tumble, if they are not greatly on their guard. The Moniteur, received with the other Paris Papers, brings the following news from Spain : Barcelona is still in a state of siege. Every individual of the National Militia, or any person not in the army, who shall be found armed, will be shot. A Military Commission is created. The disarmament of the 2d and 3d and Bth battalions of the National Guards has been ordered. _____ Foreigners have been ordered to present themselves with certificates from the Consuls, in order to be allowed to reside in Barcelona. The National Militia, in an address to the Regent, makes excuses for the demolition that had commenced of the citadel. . . The nomination of the members composing the mili tary commission had been published in the order of the day. The municipality of 1841 had been replaced by that of 1840. The Constztuctonal (Barcelona paper) contains pro clamations of Van Halen of the 15th. We have pleasure in announcing that the san guinary MARTIN ZURBANO has been removed from Bilbao. In the Moniteur of Saturday we find the fol lowing Royal decree : " Louis Philippe, King of the French, to all present and to come, greeting ; "We have ordained, and do ordain as follows—The Chamber of Peers and the Chamber of Deputies are convoked for the 27th of December, 1841. ‘• Our Minister Secretary of State at the department of the Interior is charged with the execution of the pre• sent decree.—At the Palace of the Tuileries, Nov. 19. _____ . " LOUIS PHILIPPE. (Countersigned) T. DUCHATEL, Minister of the Interior." The following extracts from the French Jour nals, include all the news they contain of any The llavre papers state that, on the evening of the 17th instant, an English brig, moored off Quillebceuf, was driven from her anchors, and carried with great force against the apparatus for raising the Telemaque. The brig was thereby saved from being sunk on the sand-bank, and escaped with little damage to herself, but completely destroyed all the scaffolding raised by the contractors, by which they hoped in a few days to obtain complete success. It was fortunately after the men had left work, otherwise many lives might have been lost. _ The Breton of Nantes states that the fishermen of Sables caught on the 11th instant a quantity of sardinias —so great, as to amount in value to between 25,000 and 30,000 francs. Upon a report from the Prefect of the Seine Inferiure, the Minister of the Interior has authorized the town of Havre to form a Museum of Paintings and Antiquities, which will require an expenditure of 440,000 francs. The Curt of Assize at Douai has just acquitted the responsible editor of the in/partial du Nord, on the charge of having inserted in two numbers of that journal articles attacking Royalty, and personally offensive to the The M oniteur Parisien contains the following, on the reported formation of a corps of observation on the Bel gian frontier :—" Some movements of' troops had been ordered in the northern departments when the conspiracy was discovered, but these movements have since been countermanded. Several journals have seized this as an opportunity for accusing the Government of irresolution. We know that in fact orders had teen given in the 16th military division for an assembling of troops, and the General officers had been designated for commands. We also know that these have since received orders to return to their garrisons ; and we can add, that the journals in question ought to have considered this prudent and natural, since the cause which might have warranted measures of precaution had ceased to exist." In the sitting of the Belgian Chamber of Represen tatives on Thursday, M. Delahaye, addressing the Mi nister of Foreign Affairs, said he wished to have some explanation as to the state of the commercial negotia tions with France. If, said he, the accounts published in the newspapers were true, it was proposed to make concessions to France which would affect the interest of certain branches of industry without having an equi valent compensation from the French. The Minister, in reply, said the Chamber would feel that a certain re serve on such a subject would be warranted, but he would nevertheless reply to the question frankly. Hardly had the Ministry been formed, when it had to occupy itself with the commercial negotiations with France, which had been going on for some time. Commissioners were appointed, and the Belgian Government had reason to believe that the object was to conclude a Treaty of Customs on wide bases. negotiations having met with obstacles, and the Belgian Commissioners no longer thinking their pres6 lce neces sary.in Paris, had expressed their wish to be recalled. ‘‘ At this moment, " added the Minister, " the affair is going on between negotiators appointed by the French Government on the one hand, and by a Belgian Plenipotentiary and a Commissioner on the other. It would be wrong to think that beneficial re sults are no longer to be expected. We have still hope." A correspondent at Rome writes :—" the Grand Duchess of Mecklenburg Schwerin, with the Princess her daughter, and the Princess of Warsaw, wife of Mar shal Paskiewitsch, have arrived in the Pontifical capital. There are not so many strangers and families come to Rome this winter as usual ; several persons hesitating to do so whereasofroman thereappreh areensi apprehension at that e ait 2 apartments cannot be found, We learn from Algiers that, on the 7th inst., a meet ing took place with sabres, between the son of General Bennet and another officer of the Ist regiment of Chas seurs, when the former fell from a wound in the heart, which he survived but a few minutes. The cause of this quarrel is not mentioned. The weather has been very bad in the Channel for many days. During the storm in the night of Sunday last the brig Vere, of N ewca stle, laden with coals, was driven on shor e at Di eppe, an d f or some t i me no hope of saving the crew was entertained ; but, by the zealous einrts of some of the seamen of the place and the crew of the Levrier, coast-guard vessel, a rope was at length thrown to the Vere, by means of which the crew, six in number, were enabled to pass through the breakers, and get to the shore. The ship afterwards went to Pieces. on the sa me even i ng , the Belle Pottle, of Hon flour, was d r i ven on shore, b ut t h e crew were saved, and the vessel it se lf d r i ven so high u pon land that at the next tide it st oo d perfect l y dry.

There lie plunged into the stream, and afterwards sat for a long time oa a stone by the water's edge. Some persons on the opposite side of the stream, who had seen him, had time to make a long circuit, and arrive where he was before he moved. On their coming up, however, he • suddenly started off as hard as he could run, and was. caught with difficulty near the town. There was only time to convey him to the corps de garde, before he died in the arms of his captors. Yesterday morning M. Demons, first huissier of the Court of Peers, served upon the sixteen prisoners about to take their trial the decree rendered on Thursday by the Court. They are thus divided :—At the Concier genie are twelve, namely, Quenisset, Boucheron, Colom bier, Brazier, Petit, Jarasse, Lawnois, Dupoty, Boggio, Mallet, Fougeraye, and Bazin. At Sainte Pelagie three —Prioul, Bouzer, and Considere ; and one at La Force, Martin. In the afternoon the, same officer gave them formal notice that the President of the Court had fixed December 1 for the commencement of their trial. Mr. Standish left Paris for Fontainebleau on Sunday last, on a visit at the Castle, and to enjoy the sports of the chase with their Royal Highnesses the Duke of Or leans, the Duke of Nemours, and the Duke d'Aumale. Mr. Standish returned to Paris on Tuesday, highly gratified with the sport and his gracious reception. A man named Peyre, alias Peters, has just been con demned, by the Paris Court of Assizes, to the pillory and nine years' imprisonment with hard labour, for a fraud upon M. Delamarre, the banker. It appeared from the evidence, that, after the death, in London, of a M. Courtois, a Frenchman, who acquired an immense fortune in England, Peyre went to London, and there having induced a man to assume the name of Jean Cour tois, and to pass as the heir of the deceased, obtained from him .a power of attorney to manage the affairs of the estate, and, having two witnesses at hand, this forged act was clothed by the notary with all the requisite formalities. Peyre now forged a deed, purporting to be a sale to a Mr. Richardson, acting as agent to Messrs. Thompson and Company, of Newcastle, of all the property arising from the succession of Courtois, in exchange for two millions of tons of coals, valued at twenty-five millions of francs, and had the address to obtain the signature of the British Consul in Paris to this act, although the pretended Mr. Richardson never appeared. With these forged docu ments Peyre presented himself to M. Delamarre, and placed in his hands the sale of this enormous consign ment, borrowing, at the same time, from M. Delamarre, a sum of B,ooof. to pay, as he said, for some furniture which he had just purchased. In a few days M. Dela marre ascertained that he had, as well as others, been the dupe of a swindler, and Peyre was apprehended. On his trial he declared that the transaction was a real one, that the documents were not forged, and that he still expected the coals; but .he brought forward no evidence to disprove the facts of the accusation. His Majesty the King of Prussia has just given his decision in the affair of the celebrated composer Spon tini, against whom, it will be recollected, a cabal was formed at Berlin about a year ago, which led to some -scenes of unseemly disorder at the Opera House in that city. The King has decided that M. Spontini dial' be relieved from further duty as Director of the Music, but shall continue to receive the salary attached to the office, and to bear the honorary title of Musical Director- General. The composer is permitted to reside wherever he pleases, and, if he desires it, to superintend the pro duction of his own works at the theatre. M. Spontini is at present in Paris. The Obsertiateur des Pyrenees-, under the head of Pau, Nov. 16, has the following article:— " A letter from St. Jean de Luz informs us that the troops of Espartero are stationed all along the frontier one, and the Light Artillery, accompanying a regiment of the line, has been sent towards the Valley of Bastan to prevent the introduction of French goods till the Tariff of Customs should be finally established. "The. 3d battalion of the 38th regiment, with its staff, has arrived at St. Jean de Luz and at Cibourne. The 2d battalion is in cantonment from Hendage to Itzatson. The Ist battalion is expected very shortly to reinforce the line. A battery of artillery and some squadrons of cavalry are likewise announced to reinforce the troops on the frontier." Positive news was received yesterday that two regi ments of Dragoons are to come very shortly to be in garrison, one at Pau, the other at Orthez.—Memorial des Pyrenees.

The authenticity of the rejected Scrip tures ? the authority of tradition ? bowing at the altar? the merits of their respec tive faiths ? No! none of these. The parties are about to quarrel as to which of them shall nominate the Professor of Poetry in the University. The Puseyites advocate the cause of the Rev. Mr. Williams, the anti-Pusey ites support the Rev. Mr. Garbett. Dr. Pusey, in a letter he has written in favour of Mr. Wil liams, deprecates the unhappy division which will occur if his follower be rejected; Dr. Gilbert retorts the unhappy division on Dr. Pusey. What the Puseyite Journals say we know not, but the anti-Puseyite Journals assert that the Puseyites are Papists, and that many of them are balancing whether they shall not, like Mr. Sibthorp, conform pub licly to the Romish Church, to whose creed they subscribe in secret. We should think Dr. Pusey and his followers extremely pusillanimous if they were to give the Professorship of Poetry into the bands of their opponents, conscious as they are of the truth of the doctrines they profess, because they are called Papists. We hope they will bear themselves in this quarrel as becomes great and good men, and prove to the world that they are not to be terrified from the right path by the scarecrow of an ugly name. We have no love for Puseyites or anti-Puseyites; but if the former do not stedrastly claim the rewardswhich are appropriated to the true believers, they will be set down as false deluders by the public. TORY MISREPRESENTATIONS.--r-Alllol3gSt the misrepresentations of the. Tories,we find it stated " that the unfounded complaints of the free trade agitators are directed against the increasing value of land." This is an error. The fee-trader complains not of the incomes of the landlords, bnt of the dishonest means by which they are acquired; not of their opulence, but of their oppression. The manufacturers now well that the richer their customers the more they will buy, and would rejoice were the landowners ten times richer, and the land ten times more valuable, provided they were not unjustly taxed and unjustly restricted in the exercise of their industry, to give wealth to the landowners and value to land. They rejoice not in rich cus tomers, whose wealth is the plunder of their stock. The perfect unanimity of the British Press upon the subject of the French designs upon Spain . appears to have staggered the London organ of Lows Philippe's Government. Our Contemporary is already beating a retreat —or, in more appropriate metaphor, is instinc tively running from the tumbling house. Itis not fair, however, to insinuate the blame of his backsliding upon Lord Aberdeen. "We happen to know that Lord Aber deen is rather close and reserved as to what he does or is likely to do." Such was the piteous whine of the Morn ing Post yesterday. This is what, in homely phrase, is termed " letting the cat out of the bag." And so, because Lord Aberdeen is " close.and reserved"—the Post" hap pens to know" it—is that a justification for doing its little possible to embarrass his policy by abetting the hostile proceedings of a foreign Court ? This is worse than pettiness.—Morning Chronicle. The Musical Society of the Casino at Munich gave its first winter concert on the 6th ult., which was honoured by the presence of the King and Queen of Bavaria and their family, the Queen of Prussia, the Grand Duchess of Baden, the court, and a great number of distinguished functionaries. The orchestra was composed of two hundred performers, under the direction of M. Lachner, chapel master to the King. The first part of the concert was opened by the Symphonie Heroique of Beethoven, and the second part by the overture to King Lear of M. Berlioz. Mlle. Hetzliek, a young Polish cantatrice, with a voice not less remarkable for its great extent than for its volume and power, sung with great effect: the grand air from La Medee of Cherubi n i ; and M. Artot, the celebrated violinist from Paris, executed a concerto with variations of his own composition, which was received with loud applause. In the interval between the parts of the conceit the King approached the orchestra, and entered into conversation with M. Lachner, M. Artot, and several other of the artistes. 4. p v IP! ro,i, S AND ttb lir Opinion. " Who runs may read." POEEIGN. We have most extraordinary news from Constan tinople. 'On the 29th ult. the Ministers of England, France, and Russia, had an interview with the Reis Effendi, to consider a project recommended by France for adding Thessaly to the kingdom of Greece. It is surely impossible that England should concur in such a scheme. Any attempt of the sort would deprive us of all the advantages which we have gained in a moral point of view by the restoration of Syria to the Sublime Porte. In a letter from Brussels, dated the 20th inst., we find the following :—" The conduct of France in stationing a corps of twenty thousand men near the Belgian fron tier, between Lille and Valenciennes, has caused uneasi ness to all who regard peace as the grand hope of nations. It is reported here that the first act of Lord Cowley, after delivering his credentials into the hands of Louis Philippe, was to demand of M. Guizot the motive of this assembling of French troops on the northern frontier. On Wednesday the subject was men tioned in the Chamber of Representatives here. M. Sigart rose and said, "The movement of French troops near our frontier is of a nature calculated to trouble men's minds. I call on the Minister of Foreign Affairs to give us some explanation of the circumstance.' A profound silence, evincing the interest the question had excited, reigned in the Chamber, when the Minister, Comte de Briey, rose to reply. The Government has received,' said he, with the public, the news of the event. We have a right to be astonished, for the Go vernment has given no cause for it. We shall quickly know the reason of this procedure, and take proper mea sures in consequence.' " The dinner of the English residents in Brussels, in honour of the birth of our young Prince, was well at tended, above seventy sitting down to table. Among the company were—Lord Fingal, Lord Suffield, Sir W. Montague, Sir C. Dalrymple, Sir W. Lawson, Sir G. Pocock, Sir C. Riche, the Rev. Messrs. Drury and Jenkins, and other persons of distinction. A. M. Waller, Esq., our Charge d'Affaires, presided. The first toast was, " The Queen and the Prince Royal," and loud, long, and enthusiastic were the cheers that resounded through the hall. The Queen Dowager's health was drunk. " Prince Albert and the Royal Family," as well as " The Royal Family of Belgium," were toasts which called forth great enthusiasm. " The health of Sir Hamilton Seymour," English Ambassador, and the Chairman, were also drank amidst much applause. The company began to separate about half-past nine o'clock. The Constitutionnel has the following not unexpected announcement :—" Reports have been circulated of a disorganisation of the Ministry. Yesterday these ru mours were contradicted, but they were not without some foundation. It is certain that on Wednesday M. Humann tendered his resignation to the King, but his Majesty would not accept it, and immediately called a Council. There M. Humann advocated, as he had done in pre ceding sittings, a reduction of the army, and the necessity of re-establishing a balance between the receipts and ex penses of the State as soon as possible. In the course of Thursday another Council was held under the Presidency of Marshal Soult, who proposed a reduction of one com pany in each regiment, but this was not satisfactory to M. Humann. After some discussion it ended in mutual concessions ; a reduction of 12,000,000 f. in the budget of the Minister of War was agreed upon, and M. Humann consented to remain in office." Letters from Algiers of the 13th instant announce the return of General Changarnier's column from the re victualling of Mecleah. The Arabs, 1,000 strong in ca valry, and 2,000 in infantry, attacked the rear-guard of the expedition under General Bedeau in the olive wood. The french, according to their report, charged the enemy, killing 300 and taking forty horses. Captain Blanc de Loire was missing. The Regent has declared Barcelona in a state of siege. General Rodil has published an order of the day or- dering the inhabitants of the Basque provinces to giv'e up the arms and ammunition in their possession within fif teen days, on pain of being shot. General Alcala was to go to Bilbao to replace the sanguinary Zurbano. The population was overjoyed to be freed from this ruffian, the prisons being filled with men and women of all ranks, victims of his persecution. A correspondent sends to the Constitutionnel, from _ Bordeaux, the following observations on the actual state of Spain :—" People would deceive themselves if they believed that Spain had derived no advantages from her revolution. A great change has been made in the opi nions, manners, and habits of the Spaniards. They are no longer the ignorant and apathetic beings who pre ferred to the fruits of useful and honourable labour the ignominious pittance doled out to them at the gates of the monasteries, where the monks got fat in the enjoyment of idleness and luxury. A general activity is now to be observed. Agriculture, which ought always to be considered before trade and manufactures, has made remarkable progress, particularly in Catalonia, Arragon, and Valencia. From the end of the civil war to the late revolt of the Christinos, great improvements have been made in every branch of industry, and tra vellers, .who had not seen Spain since the treaty of Bergara, are repeatedly expressing their astonish ment at the change. The opening of safe and easy com munications, the search after new commerce with foreign countries, the working of rich and productive mines, which had been abandoned ever since the discovery of the new world, now occupy all minds, and have become the objects of profitable speculation. This salutary im pulse, it is true, has been suddenly checked by, the re bellion of General O'Donnell and his supporters, but there is every reason to hope that, as soon as. .internal peace is restored, the same progress will be resumed, and that a nation so favoured with all the gifts of na ture, will ere long accomplish its happy destiny." PUBLIC OPINION. The Morning Herald expresses a hope that the aus picious birth of the Prince of Wales will be commemo rated by extending freedom to those who are confined for small debts in the various prisons of the metropolis. This simple hope—namely, that of liberating the small debtors, our Contemporary amplifies in the following bulky and verbose fashion :—" In respectfully submitting to the consideration of the very fountain of grace,' ac cording to the theory of our Constitution, the expediency, the policy, the goodness of diffusing to those who now contemplate, but through prison bars, the freshening stream of personal liberty—as it pours its full tide of human industry, and hope, and enterprise through the swarming thoroughfares of this huge metropolis, some portion of its invigorating and renewing influence by re storing them to freedom, and launching them once more on the busy surface of society ; we proposed an act of grace,' in the most extensive as well as literal sense of the term." The Times, alluding to the dissatisfaction of the Irish Orangemen with the recent appointment of Mr. Warren, in preference to Mr. West, to the vacant Queen's Ser geantship, observes—" As for a judgment of incapa city' being passed against Mr. West, every one must have felt the absurdity of such a suggestion ; while, on the other hand, the very act which placed a Sergeant's coif at the disposal of Sir Edward Sugden, gave a plain contradiction to the notion, that any man could be held disqualified for the favours of Dublin Castle by his pro minence in the discharge of his political duties. It re quired a most perverse malignity of interpretation to put such a colour upon Sir E. Sugden's act, especially when the office was known to be professional, and purely ho norary, and when the person promoted was felt to be of sufficient eminence to reflect a lustre upon the highest office in the power of the Crown to bestow upon him.' We are surprised, therefore, that any explanation should have been necessary to convince to Mr. West of the real character of this transaction ; but, being needed, we are glad that it was given."—The whole of the circumstances attending this appointment—more especially the Lord Lieutenant's explanation and apology to Mr. West for not giving him the vacant coif, must satisfy every unpre judiced mind that the Irish Government is still enthralled by the Orangemen—notwithstanding the Chief Secre tary's professions of impartiality and independence— and cannot, even if it would, break its chains. The Post says :—" As to governing this country, or any part of it, in spite of public opinion,' it cannot be done by the present Ministers unless they run counter to the principles which the prime Minister has avowed. Public opinion cannot by any rational man be supposed to be represented by waspish and disappointed railers in the press or out of it, or by the minorities of both Houses of Parliament. Sir R. Peel says he will adapt his policy to the satisfying of the good sense, the intel ligence, and the good feeling of the people of England. These are the proper sources of public opinion, and so long as he keeps his pledge, the public opinion, which arises from these sources, will be with him." —To talk of Sir Robert Peel legislating, in accordance with public opinion, is a mere abuse of words. Public opinion is the opinion of the thinking and intelligent classes of the community, by whom all substantial im provements are made, and certainly Sir Robert Peel's views of Government have little in common with theirs. He legislates solely for a faction, and through the in strumentality of a faction ; and this faction is diame trically opposed to the commercial interests of the most commercial country in the world. We quote the following from the Chronicle :—" We hope the rent-and-mortgage' majority of the House of Commons will mark, learn, and inwardly digest' the returns of the census of 1841. If they would only consider that it is easier to provide for such a population as we have now, than to get rid of it, much future misery might be spared, and much danger averted. It is no doubt very clever to say, that Britain would be as happy if all her manufacturing towns were at the bottom of the sea. But how are we to get them there ? It is no doubt very provoking, that a county containing such a smoky city as Glasgow should advance at the rate of 3413 per cent., while t► county containing so fine a city as Edinburgh only advances at the rate of 2 . 8. But how are we to stop it? It is no doubt extremely annoying, that while canny Berwick looks before it leaps,' heed less Lancashire fills up every nook and cranny with a swarming multitude. But by what process can we effect the change MONEY —TRADE—COMMERCE.
