As we have repeatedly pointed out, her children, although primarily, are by no means solely interested in the prosperity of their country. It is a matter of the deepest importance to the Eng lish taxpayer that the sister kingdom should not only cease to be a burden on the Imperial resources, and a drain on this more favoured land, but that she should be enabled to contribute her full proportion to the revenues of the United Kingdoms, and to bear her fair share of the national expenditure —to be come, in fact, an integral portion of the empire —the right arm, the powerful auxiliary, and the glory of England, in place of being her weakness and reproach. This great desideratum, however, can only be attained by the liberal and judicious applica tion of capital in the improvement of the soil, which, although nominally under tillage, is still so negli gently cultivated that it scarcely produces on* quarter of what might be obtained under a better system of agriculture, in the reclamation of the waste lands that are now suffered to remain barren and un;•roductive, and in stimulating the various branche> of incluE.try, which have been shown to be capable of making profitable returns for the amount expended thereon. The railways, the mines, the fisheries, the peat bogs of Ireland afford the most favourable channels for investment ; and, perhaps, there is no source that could be attended to with more beneficial results than the proper cultivation of flax, and the due development of the linen trade, the staple manufac- ture of Ireland. Mr. J. HILL DICKSON, of Hawkins•street, Dublin, a clear headed and intelligent gentleman, who has long and zealously exerted himself for the ameliora tion of Ireland and the improvement of the condition of the working classes, by the introduction and use of machinery and the development of arts and manu factures, has addressed two letters to the Cerporation of the City of London in reference to the recent proposition for the purchase of lands in Ireland, in s hich he gives the results of his great experiencei as to the vast resources of the country, and shows how ample would be the profits to those expending theit capital therein. Mr. DICKSON declares his opinion to be, that "the only way to regener4te Ireland is to connect the agricultural and the manufacturing interest." And he adds, as the soil and climate of Ireland are peculiarly ad leted to the growth of flax, "let the manufacture of linens—the natural trade of the country—be the first." He paraphrases a maxim of the late DANIEL O'Coisisze.a, who declared that "England's weakness was Ireland's opportunity." Mr. DICKSON truly asserts that " Ireland's poverty is England's opportu nity "—" not to destroy her trade or commerce by a repeal of the Union, or separation ; not to confiscate the property of the nobility and gentry of the south and west ; but to encourage them with that liberality of heart that dictated the gift of twenty millions sterling, to emancipate slaves in distant climes, whose fate was an Elysium compared with the sufferings endured by millions of our labouring classes during the last three years, who it is on all hands admitted are able and willing to work f only half as well paid as English labourers are." This is indeed a glorious opportunity, and one whiab we trust will not be neglected or lost sight of. To relieve a warm-hearted and grateful people from the almost unparalleled miseries they have under gone and are still sustaining, to elevate them in the social scale, and to render them—what they ought to be—a prosperous, contented, and happy race, in the enjoyment of all the necessaries of life, and of those humble comforts that should be within tha reach of every labouring man, is a godlike undertaking, and the merchant [princes of England, the British capi talists will not exhibit cold-blooded apathy or care- lessness as to the welfare of their less fortunate Irish brethren, more particularly as there is almost a cer- tainty of receiving ample remuneration for any risk and expenditure to which they may be subjected in their speculations. Mr. DICKSON also points out one of the chief catbes of the poverty and destitution of Munster and Connaught. He says, " The fact is, the majority of the landowners in Munster and Connaught were at all times too poor, and those who were compara. tively rich were too proud, to connect themselves with the mercantile or manufacturing classes, by which alone the interests of all, and of the working classes in particular, would be promoted ; and so long as grants are made by Government to support idle Pauperism within or without the (miscalled) work houses in Ireland, so long will such men allow their tenants in minions to remain as they now are, a disgrace to. Ireland, a burthen on the industry of IlNer, and a drain on England; so long will they sulr.-r limn to remain incapable of appreciating the comforts enjoyed by the tenants of the London Corporation in Derry, Antrim, &c., and so long must the millions of acres of was t e land remain ur~reclaimed." Mr. DICKSON also shows that we have for the last six years been paying annually for flax, an average of 7,783,8 83/. oilcake, and flaxseed , sterling, the whole of which might be obtained from Ireland, if proper care and attention was applied t o the cultivation thereof; exclusive of the incalculable advantages to ba derived from the employment afforded by the weaving of that flax in the various cottages throughout the country, the best weaver s being girls of 17 or 18 years of age, who in the northern counties can earn from 12s. to 165. per week, and thus provide every comfort for their families ; indeed, so indefatigable are they in their exertions that in many houses the loom is never permitted to remain idle, the girls working by day and the sons sitting up at night while their sisters are at rest ; and these are the people who have been stigmatised as idle and lazy, anxious rather to consume their time unprofitably than to labour for the general benefit. We heartily commend Mr. DrossoN's observations to the consideration of our readers and of the public generally, and we are quite sure that gentleman will gladly afford every information that may be required by those who are anxious to lend a helping hand to the amelioration of Ireland and the improvement of the social condition of the people. The intercourse between the envoy of Republican France and the Imperial tyrant of Russia, as reported by the Assemblee Nationale, appears, considering the peculiar circumstances of the times, of a somewhat extraordinary character. It is said that the EMPEROR had endeavoured to avoid all political subjects of con versation ; but on one occasion, pressed for a reply to some interrogation, he ventured boldly to declare in the presence of the Republican—" My project, General, is to suppress revolution wherever it may show itself." If this remark, addressed to the repre sentative of a Power which had risen only by revo lution, is sufficiently audacious, the comments of the Assembles Nationale are even more so. "We think," naively observes this journal, anxious to exculpate the EMPEROR from the least shadow of misrepresentation, "we think that this was meant merely as a menace against the spirit of revolution, and not against nationalities." Unnecessary commentary ! Who could for one moment be so credulous as to imagine the Emperor of RUSSIA the enemy of nationalities ? Henceforth let the wrongs of Poland be deemed an idle tale—let the military occupation of Warsaw, whereby every patriot hand was rendered motionless, and every lip sealed by perpetual sur veillance, be wholly discredited. The soldiers of PASREWITCH have not crushed the life out of bleeding Hungary and given over her patriot children to death, to exile, or to worse than either—the ignominy of treason. Let all these atrocities be henceforth disbelieved—the Assemblie Nationale has spoken— N th e e v E er m th p e e l r e o s r s, o t f h ß is u h ss i x g s. h. d s o p e ir s n g a a c n e n n t i R o n e a p l u i t b i e l i s . canism gently ventures to hint . he will not find menaces use f u l inotedt menace nationalities. Nevertheless, th is high-spir ited or to the EMP th s e ßoz e t n h c a h t in disposin g people in his favour, albeit those menaces, as it obligingly explains, are directed not against nationa lities but against the spirit of revolution. " The re volutionary spirit," proceeds this consistent Republi can, " extends itself by that deplorable agitation in the public mind, that sanguinary fever, which has precipitated Europe into all kinds of excesses since the 24th of February, and it is to that which the EMPEROR alluded in his remark." The spirit which has animated Europe since the 24th of February, 1848, very possibly does not meet with the EM PER ores approbation, for that spirit is as dissimilar and as antagonistic to his predilections as an individual, and to his power as a sovereign, as day is to night, liberty to slavery, or the vigour of of life to the torpor of apathy. Since the 24th of February, 1848, a spirit, which had long been ac• quiring strength in silence and gaining fresh vigour at every outrage or oppression suffered, has made its existence unmistakably manifest. All Europe has felt the influence of the mighty movement, even to the stronghold of Absolutism. The once submissive empire of Austria has been shaken to dismemberment, and the Imperial power only preserved by the abdi cation of the then Emperor. Russia, as yet unaf fected by the storm, looks on with apparent indifference, while the AUTOCRAT, tempting his fate, scornfully boasts of his project "to put down revo lution wherever it may show itself." So confident do we feel of the ultimate result of this audacity, that we listen to the boasts of NICHOLAS with the same pity. ing wonder with which the courtiers of CANUTE heard their sovereign command the advancing waves of the sea not to wet his royal feet. The cases are exactly parallel, save that CANUTE'S infatuation was assumed that the lesson might benefit his country, whereas the delusion of NICHOLAS is real; perhaps its dissi pation may one day enlighten his imperial self. We have heard of an ALEXANDER who, in the madness of his ambition, asked for more worlds to conquer, and of a XERXES who, in the madness of his anger, inflicted chastisement upon the senseless sea ; but what folly of ancient times surpasses his who, in the middle of the nineteenth century, with the ruins of feudal power before his eyes, and the thunder of popular indignation in his ears, coolly enunciates a project "to suppress revolution wherever it may show itself?" The fall of Hungary may, perhaps, give encouragement to the project. Be it so. The day of retribution for na tional no less than for individual sins, for imperial as well as for private offenders, although occasionally retarded, is inevitable. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of Saturday and yesterday. The Moniteur of yesterday publishes the nomina tion of BAROCHE, Attorney-General of the Republic, as Attorney-General at the High Court of Justice at Versailles. He will be assisted by MM. RATEN, Sun, and LEvEsQE, members of the Court of Appeal of Paris. The same official journal publishes the names of 25 general officers placed on the retired list by the Provisional Government, and who have been reinstated in their rank by a decree of the PRESIDENT of the Republic. The PRESIDENT left Paris yesterday morning at half-past six, for Espernay, to inaugurate that section of the Paris and Strasburg Railroad. He was to re• turn to Paris at eight o'clock in the evening. Galignani's Messenger of Saturday has the follow ing important statement on the subject of the speech made by the Minister of Commerce at the dinner given, on Thursday, to the President of the RE PUBLIC by the Exhibitors of National Industry : " It is much to be regretted that the Paris journals which have given a report of the dinner on Thursday have omitted the speech of the Minister of Commerce, which, from a short notice given of it in a leading article of the Patrie, appears to have been of an importance secondary only to that of the President of the Republic. According to the Patrie, M. Lanjuinais expressed an opinion that the Protectionist system had been more frequently fatal than useful to French industry, and that he thought the manufacturers of France were now in a condition to contend successfully with other countries without the protection, or rather supposed pro tection, we should say, afforded to them by the tariff of customs. This speech, says the Patrie, was much applauded." The Councils-General have met in their respective departments. That of the Soane and Loire chose M. DE LAMARTINE as their chairman. He opened the Council with the following address : ° " Gentlemen,—ln paying to our president, by seni ority, the tribute usual on such occasions, permit me to reply briefly to the kind mention which he has made of my situation before you. It is truly said that the ordi nary, nay, the legitimate fluctuations of opinion, toss about and submerge for a long time the men who, like me, have found th emse l ves, n ot by merit but by chance, grappling in the events which are stronger than they. I say so without a blush, for these events are sometimes stronger than a whole nation. Their fame, their political consideration, their credit with the national confidence, necessarily and justly undergo The influence of the counter-blow and reaction. They would be out of their senses to complain of that, particularly when they have the rare fortune to find amongst countrymen, the closest to them, not only jastice, but indulgence, affection, and a kind recepti on , suc h as your suffrages bear witness to most strongly at this moment for me. No, I have not descended, when I find myself again on the level of your esteem and of your affection! The session during which you have ordered me to act as president appears to me to open under more favourable auspices than the pre ceding one. The country has passed three-fourths, nay, I am inclined to think altogether, through those dan gerous interregnums, those terrible crises, which are always to be found in the existence of nations between an old order fallen to pieces, and a new one to be esta blished, particularly when that new order is to be or ganized in the proportions of an immense and regular de mocracy. In that constitution of the universal representa • five of the people, the Councils-General have less to change in their nature than our other fundamental institutions. The Councils-General were already a Republican institution before the Republic; but they had a base less wide, and a mission less universal, Let us therefore conform to the nature eminently popular of our institution. The Coun cils-General ought to be the Republic localised over the whole surfaeo of the territory. Let us render it sen sible, visible, and palpable to the people in three manners—by an economical administration of the fortune of the tax-payers and of the property of the rich; by an energetic impulse given to public works in the depart ment for the working classes, and by a generous pro• di gality, Christian and political at the same time, of andsucc o m u i r s , e r i y n s o t r f n t e h t e i o s n u , ff a e n r i d n g a i d r, t a o r t t h o e f w k n p e o s p s , u i l g a n t i o o r n a . n c feel confidant that the spirit of these councils is in ad• vance of the spirit of the body which has been pleased to choose me for its interpreter ; and it is under the auspices of these unanimous ideas that the session of 1849 opens." We read in the Petrie "In consequence of the rumours- which have been 1 THE . SU N, NDO N, current respecting the health and pecuniary position of M .ale Lamartine, we are assured that several influential persons have met with a view to open a national sub scription in order to prevent the necessity of the sale of M. de Lamartine's patrimonial property. A committee having been formed, the members waited on the illus trious poet, to whom they stated the object of their visit. M. de Lamartine thanked the committee for their kindness, but refused to accept the offer of a national subscription, on the ground that the produce of his lite rarylabours is more than sufficient for his wants." The Presse makes the following pungent remarks on the valedictory address of General OUDINOT to the Roman people : " The Roman Constitutional Assembly has been dis solved by force of bayonets—the liberty of the press has been suspended—the prisons are overflowing. Whoever , took part in public affairs in the slightest degree since November is hunted without mercy ; all the acts of the late Government are declared null—all political and civil guarantees are confiscated—the noblest inhabitants the greatest minds, the best patriots of Italy, are pro scribed. Messrs. Mamiami and Pantalioni are in exile ; on the ruin of every liberty the Inquisition is set up, and yet General Oudinot, on leaving the Romans, tells them that he has saved them from political reaction. " We affirm that the French Government never did concern itself about the question of liberty; the word was used for sake of silencing the opposition and keep ing the majority together. To-day there is no longer occasion for subterfuge; when the Assembly is not sit ting the Government does not seek to throw any disguise on the objects of the expedition. What M. de Falloux said at the tribune M. Oudinot repeated at Rome. We went to re-establish the temporal power of the Pope; neither more or less. We desired to do what Austria, Spain, and Naples, equally desired, and these three Powers being equal to the work, let us ask why have we been put to the cost of forty millions, and why did we expose the lives and health of 40,000 s oldiers?" The Journal des Debate has the following corres pondence from Rome. The " situation," it will be seen, becomes daily worse. The letter is dated August 24th, and is as follows : " General Oudinot leaves this evening or to-morrow for Naples. An order of the day to the army, and a proclamation to the Romans, have officially announced his recal, and placed the command in the hands of General Rostolan. The General will probably find the Pope at Naples. The intention of his is,Holi ness h i t isen ea e said,can t stopo aieasily for a come ethe f o rinni into t at Po r city, i from whence and after the expiration of that time he will return into his States. lam inclined to believe, however, that the residence of the Pontiff in the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies will be longer. Pius IX. seems less disposed than ever to return to his capital. He is surrounded by people who aro opposed to it, and they have a powerful influence over him ; and if it be true, as is positively stated, that the Cardinal Secretary of State has ordered his furniture to be carried to Naples, our suspicions will be changed into certainty. Besides, if the Pope does not come to Rome, where will he fix the seat of his Government? At Benevento? He had better remain at Gaeta. At Bologna? The state of public feel ing in that province would not allow it. At Loretto? The difficulties of the position would there be less, but would still be serious, and, neverth e l ess , th at appears to be the point fi xe d on. That place will be visited on the pretext of thanking the Madona for the deliver ance obtained; and then, yielding to the respectful soli citations of the Austrian army cantonned in that pro vince, the Pope will fix his residence there until the French troops shall have evacuated Rome. That this plan originated with the Pope himself I do not believe, but that endeavours have been made to bring it about is not impossible, and perhaps it is desirable that it should be carried into execution. All the troops holding garrison in the Pontifical States do not preserve so much delicacy in their proceedings as the French. All do not live at their own expense; all do not content themselves in sleep ing in the open air in the courts of palaces, whilst the owners and their families retain their own apartments; all do not pay ready money for what they purchase ; some even exact local contributions, payable two-thirds in money and one-third in paper; and, in fine, all do not equally respect persons. Hence arise constant corn plaiats from the people, who are subjected to foreign denomination. All these complaints reach the Minister of the Interior here, and perhaps go further. When his Holiness shall reside in the palace where such things occur, he will not remain ignorant of them, and he will then draw a comparison, and be forced to render better justice to the admirable discipline of the French army. The arrangement come to between Austria and Piedmont must lead to certain modifications in the policy pursued by the representative of the Cabinet of Vienna, and advantage will be endeavoured to be taken of the circumstance. The more explicit tone as sumed by France has perhaps also caused some coolness. What appeared to have arrived at a solution is now again thrown into uncertainty. Yesterday the Roman Municipality gave a soirée to General Oudinot in the saloons of the Capitol. During the fete the Senator presented the General with a medal commemorative of his entry into the city, and a copy on vellum of the Decree of the Municipality ordering an inscription in honour of the Liberator of Rome, to be placed in the Salle of the Great Men of the Nation. An ordonnance of the Governmental Commission, published this morn ing, constitutes an exceptional tribunal to try crimes lately committed:" Tke Reforrne says " We learn from Berne that the French Government continues to refuse passports to the German refugees, who, on their way to America, are forced to traverse France. The evident object of these odious measures is to make Switzerland a sort of political trap." M. LEON PILET has been appointed French Consul at Nice. The PRESIDENT received, on Saturday, a deputation from the Peace Congress. The attendance of speculators at the Passage de l'Opera yesterday was not very considerable, and no great business was done. The price of the Five per Cents. was 90f. 60c. BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT TUE LONDON STOCK-EXCHANGE, SEPT. 1. Dutch Rhenish, : 5 A East Indian, 4% Northern of France, 3 1 4 dis.

DISTURBANCES AT SCHLESWIG. Letters from Flensburgh of August 27 say— Yesterday evening a most fearful affray took place on the occasion of singing the national airs, by the two parties by whom the city is divided ; it as sumed such a character that recourse was obliged to be had to arms, and several soldiers were wounded. A Prussian patrole cleared the streets at the point of the bayonet, threatening to fire upon the people. Notwithstanding these excesses, the Prussian troops quitted the city to-day. The Danish party broke into several houses and pillaged them, they also broke open the residence of Senator HUMMINGSEN. The gendarmes and some convalescent soldiers were sent for, and advanced, bayonet in hand, towards the mob, and having in vain called upon them to disperse, they fired. A boy was killed, and some others se verely wounded. The inhabitants have formed a body of security ; but the excesses of the Danes continue up to this evening to a very great extent. The Danish troops arrived here towards evening, they have occupied guard, but they have not inter fered, and a police has not the necessary means for preventing the further shedding of blood.

GERMAN Y AND THE NORTHERN STATES. AUSTRIA. The Members of the Hungarian Diet who have been delivered up by the Russians, for having declared that the house of Hapsburg has fallen from the throne of Hungary, have been transported to Pesth. On the 18th General HAYNAU published at Temes war an order of the day granting an amnesty to all the Hungarians, beneath the rank of sergeant-major and quarter-master, who had abandoned the Austrian army to join the insurgents, but requiring them to return to the Austrian ranks. An amnesty was also granted to the sub officers of the Magyar army who had not served under the Austrian standard. With respect to the chiefs of the army and the revolution, ulterior measures will, it is said, be taken. The news of the surrender of Comorn is not confirmed. On the 26th ult. a solemn Te Deum was celebrated at Vienna, and a grand review of the troops was passed, to celebrate the surrender of Venice. The next day there was another religious ceremony and review in honour of the victories'in Hungary. The EMPEROR was present on both occasions. The Tienna Gazette of the 27th publishes the follow ing order of the day to the army by the EMPEROR : " My brave army has acquired new titles to the grati tude of my house and the country. The dangers with which insurrection and treason threatened the existence of the empire have been vanquished, and Austria will owe to your courageous actions, to your heroic per severance, the return of peace and union in the in terior, and the consolidation of its power abroad. The children of all the tribes of the empire have anew sealed with their blood in the ranks of my glorious army the ties of fraternity which bind them. Of this union they have given a striking proof in face of the interior enemy. Soldiers! your Emperor thanks you in the name of the country. You will always remain wor thy of yoursel ves , t h e glory and pride of Austria, the immovable support of the throne and social order. " FRANCIS JOSEPH. " Schcsabrunn, 22d Aug." A letter from Vienna, of the 27th tilt., states tha the rumour of the surrender of the fortress of Co• morn was unfounded; but it was not expected that the garrison would hold out long. Several of the officers were in favour of resistance, but it was said that they were not supported by the men. It was again stated that KLAPBA would only yield to the Russians. By a letter from Vienna of the 27th ult. we learn that Prince PASKEWITCH had left his head quarters to return to Warsaw, and that General "[Ay'sAu was about to establish his head-quarters at Pesth. The Austrian Lloyds states that BEM and KoSSUTII are at Videin in Bulgaria under the surveillance of the Turkish authorities. The Pacha of Videin has always been well inclined towards the Magyar cause. The Independence of Brussels says that in the Hun garian war of last year GEORGEY made a proposition to surrender with 14,000 men to WINDISCHGRAIZ, but that the latter refused, saying that he would not treat with rebels . From the Pesth official papers we learn that the head-quarters of HAYNAU were removed to Arad on the 21st inst. On the 19th the rest of the 9th insur surgent army corps, under LAZAR, consisting of 5,000 men, infantry and cavalry, and 19 field pieces, deli vered up at Karausebes to the Austrians ; 8,000 men belonging to the armies of BEM and GUYON laid down their arms on the 18th at Deva. Fifty guns that belonged to this body of troops were also given up to the Russian General LUDERS. I believe I forgot to mention this in my last letter. The officers of VEcsEZ's and KNETY'S corps have also yielded. The number of guns already taken from the insur gents, including those voluntarily given over, is above 360. The Russian corps of LUDERS has now united with the Austrian main army. Private letters from Semlin, the 23d, say that BEM and KOSSUTH had arrived in New Orsova, and sought the protection of the Pacha. Further particulars from the seat of war have come to hand. The vanguard of the column under Major NEIPERG, that had advanced on Birkis, overtook near Hatalis, the baggage train of VECSEY'S corps, and after a few shots captured the whole. More than 2,000 waggons, many of them laden with ammuni tion, above a thousand prisoners, and a squadron of Hussars fell into the hands of the Austrians. On the 18th the third corps took charge of more than 300 Hussars, mounted and equipped, who deserted. VIENNA, AUG . . 29.—1 t was rumoure d l as t n i g ht that Peterwardien has surrendered, but up to this moment the report has not been verified. Field-Marshal HAYNAU, together with tilt BAN, are expected here. Letters from Pesth state that the most perfect tranquillity prevails there. The insur gent leaders AuLica and VETTEL have been arrested and shot. Private letters from Semlin, of tfie 25th, confirm the intelligence of the arrival of KOSSUTH, BEM, and DEMBINSKI, in Alkali (New Orsova), that they have placed themselves under the protection of the PASHA, but, on the 22d, had n o t rece i ve d permission journey. Letters proceed on their Letters from Jassy state that the Polish Legion, 800 men strong, has surrendered on the Moldavian frontiers, and laid down their arms. At the Cabinet Council held at Schonbrunn, on the 27th, two important points, we are assured, were de cided upon :—The organization of Hungary upon the general plan, with the utmost deference to nationalities ; and an amne s ty w i t h as few exceptions as may be possible. The Emrsuou is said to be most favourable to these measures, which will, it is thought, tend greatly to the pacification of Hungary. YOSSUTR'S LETTER TO BEM ANNOUNCING HIS AB- DICATION OP THE DICTATORSHIP. "Drenkova, Aug. 14. "I am regardless of my own safety. lam weary of life, as I now behold the fine edifice of my country's freedom arid with it the sanctuary of European liberty destroyed—not by our enemies, but by our brethren. It is not, then a cowardly lore for existence that deter mines my departure, but the conviction that my presence has become injurious to my country. General Guyon writes that the army concentrated near Temesvar is in a state of complete dissolution. You, General, are placed hors de combat; Georgey is at the head of the only army which, according to his account, still exists, and he de Glares that he will no longer obey, but govern. I im plored him to remain, at all events, patriotic and faithful to his coentry, and I ceded to him my place. " At this moment I am merely a simple citizen, and nothing more. I have been to Lugos to ascertain the state of affairs, and to learn what co u ld b e d one t o continue the struggle. I found the corps of General Vecsey in good order and animated with the best spirit, but all the others nearly dissolved. Descorf and Kinetz declared to me that their army would not fight any longer, but would retreat at the first cannon shot. I found a complete want of supplies, and we are obliged to feed by requisition —a miserable means, which ren ders the people our enemies. The bank, transferred to Arad, is in the hands of Georgey. lam convinced that f Georgey surrender the army will not stay near Lugos wenty - four hours, as it is in want of everything. An army may provide for its existence by requisition in an enemy's country—but not in its own country! So far as regards myself, I shall never consent to measures of violence against my own people : I am ready to save them at the sacrifice of my life, but to oppress them— never. " You see, then, General, the present is a case of con science. I could not resign yesterday, and resume the reins of power to-day. If the nation and the army de cide otherwise, it is different; but the army of Georgey, the bravest of all, should give itss consent. If it do not I remain a simple citizen, and as such I shall never co operate, even passively, in measures of terrorism, of destruction, of pillage, of requisition, and of oppression to-wards the people. "If the army of Georgey summon me to resume power—if you succeed in executing some operation in order to secure supplies for your army without having recourse to acts of oppression—if the bank shall be free to operate, and at my disposal—under these conditions I shall respond to the call of the nation, and I shall resume the Government If not, I will never consent to do so. For me, war is not the object, but the means of saving the country. If Ido not see the possibility of obtaining that object I will not consent to the continuation of the war, merely for the sake of carrying on war. I advise you, then, as a good citizen and as a ma❑ of honour, to name a committee of representa tives of the people, for the sovereign power only can dispose of the Government. Send couriers to Comoro and to Peterwardein to summon them, and secure the co-operation of the commandant of the fortress of Arad. This, and not my presence, is above all necessary; be cause, as you must have recourse to force to feed your army, I do not wish to sanction by my presence such measures. Receive, I pray you, the assurance of my perfect consideration, &c., _ " LOUIS KOSSUTH, " P.S. Zainoiski and Bissoranowski say that it is a duty imposed by honour on us Hungarians to act so as that the Polish and Italian Legions, whilst rendering service to the country, shall, in case of emergency, hi sheltered from the danger of banishment to Siberia. I am convinced such is our duty, and at my request Gen. Guyon has placed the legions so as to cover the com munication with Turkey by Orsova. But I learn here that you, General, have recalled the garrison of Orsova (t wo battalions only) into Transylvania. That garrison is now at Koruya, and has marched six miles without food. These two battalions will then be lost, and Orsova will fall into the hands of the enemy." PRUSSIA. In the Prussian Chamber of Deputies, on the 29th ult., the Minister of Finance presented the budget for 1848 9. It showed a deficit of 5,608,000 thalers, but this was not only covered by the excess of the preceding year, but that excess left a balance, which, added to the amount of the voluntary loan, caused a sum of 834,014 thalers to remain in hand. It was consequently an. nounced that the Government would not require either a loan or new taxes ; but it was stated that, being un certain as to the amount of the war expenses, it had taken 1,373,000 thalers from the Bank of Assistance, which would be paid by the anticipated excess of the year. A demand was made by the public prosecutor for authorisation of the Chamber to prosecute two sati rical journals for insults on it ; but the Chamber re fused, on the ground that it was beneath its dignity to notice such things. In the course of the sitting a Bill was presented for reducing the duty on the im portation of soda. The following notification of the Prussian Minister of Commerce was stuck up in the Stock•exchange at Stettin on the 28th ult. : " I inform commercial men that the Prussian Go vernment has given notice for the cessation of the treaty of navigation concluded 3d June, 1837, between Prussia and the Netherlands, so that it will cease to be in effect from Ist January, 1850. Nevertheless, in order not to leave international relations without a recognised basis until the conclusion of a new treaty, the King's Government, in giving the notice, made the proposition, which has been accepted by the Dutch Government, to maintain from the Ist January, 1850, and until new orders, the state of things based on the treaty, and that no change shall be made therein without six weeks' notice from one of the two parties. " VAN DER HEYDT, Minister of Commerce. " Berlin, 18th August." The Bavarian Itiessenger says that the Prussian Embassy at Munich, having called on the Minister of Justice of Bavaria to prosecute the editors of the Constitutitional German Gazette, for attacks hn the King of PRUSSIA, that functionary sent the case before the tribunals, which, however, declared that there was no ground for prosecution. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. SCHLESWIG HOLSTEIN.—The King of DENMARK has issued the following proclamation to the inhabi of Schleswig:— " PROCLAMATION. " Schleswigersl—We have at last succeded in quel ling the miseries of war, which have fallen peculiarly heavy upon our faithful subjects of Schleswig, and which must have been doubly painful, as the opponents were sons under our own sceptre. Our confident hope is that the present amnesty will be the harbinger of the bles sings of peace, and it is the desire of our hearts to address a word to our Schleswig subjects at this time. Those among you who have remained steadfast in your fealty to us under the most painful difficulties, and with pa ternal joy we may reckon among these the preponderat ing number of the inhabitants of Schleswig —you will find your highest recompense in the con sciousness of your rectitude, and the example which you will leave to your children. Receive then the thanks of your Icing, for your unshaken loyalty has been our greatest compensation amidst the many deep sorrows that our heart has been called upon to experi ence. Those of you who, notwithstanding the rectitude of the peace and blessings which you and your father have enjoyed under the sway of our royal ancestors, you will now have learnt from painful experience that you can in future seek for aid and protection only from your lawful Sovereign, and if you return to us with sin cerity of purpose you will find us ready to pardon all that is past. From you all, inhabitants of our Duchy of Scbles we hope and expect that you will co-operate i❑ promoting the peace and welfare of the country, by obedience to the Government now instituted, and that you will further support to the utmost of your power, in our earnest endeavours to establish and consolidate the welfare and happiness of our subjects by the paternal administration of our country and the New institutions which we shall accord. `• Palace, Christianburg, Aug. 27, 1849." At the recommendation of BULENBURG, the title " Royal" is for the present to be avoided in all matters of business. COrENBAGEN, AUG. 30.—The official report of the Minister of War announces the arrival and departure of various Norwegian corps to Schleswig. The body grenadier battalion and the Norwegian Jager corps have gone to Flensburg, the North Schonen battalion to Apenrade, and the Swedish hussars to Haders laben. • HAMBURGII, Ana. 30.—We are happy to announce ,bat the Bremen Burgerscheft last night declared in RUSSIA. WARSAW, AUG. 26.—. His Imperial Highness the Grand-Duke ➢MICHAEL was seized with an apoplectic fit during the parade at Mokoton, at three o'clock in tke afternoon ; he instantly fell from his horse, and is in imminent danger. The efforts of his medical attendants have happily so far proved successful that he is able to speak a little this morning, although with great difficulty. The EMPEROR remained with him during the whole of the night. Prince PASKEWITCH is expected here on the Ist of SepteMber, in company with the insurgent leader, GEORGEY.—Hamburgh Borsenhalle. SWITZERLAND. The New Zurich Gazette of the 29th ult. states, • from Ticino, that more Austrian troops have been or • dered to the Swiss frontier, and that a strong column has arrived at Como. The whole corps is to be 10,000 strong. Everything, according to this account, an nounces a military occupation of the canton at no dis tant period, a measure said to be taken in accordance with the French Government. ITALY. General OUDINOT, before quitting Rome, issued •the following proclamatiou:— " Romans,—Order and tranquillity have not been . disturbed a single moment since your city has been occupied by the French army. 'The temporal Govern ment of the Supreme Pontiff has been restored among you amidst universal applause. Just admirers of the discipline of our soldiers, you give them on every oppor tunity the proofs of an affection, the origin of which is equally bonourable for them and for you. The most perfect harmony reigns among the soldiers of every de •gree and the people, as well at Rome as in the can 'tonments. Our wishes and hopes expected such results. By preserving you against political re action, •we have at the same time fulfilled our duty and followed the !dictates of our feelings. Your sympathies are a recompense the value of which we all acknowledge and particularly esteem. I - feel• in my heart the necessity of repeating the assu. 'ranee of it at the moment when my mission to the Pon tifical States is to cease. I shall return to France; there I shall always preserve the remembrance of the ' evident proofs of confidence and, esteem which you have gieen me. No one can know what is reserved to him • in future; but I know that my sentiments for you are unalterable. I thank Providence for having given me a momentary influence over your destinies. I shall again thank Heaven if, before the end of my life, I shall be again permitted to contribute to the prosperity and grandeur of a country that has most powerful claims upon my devotion and gratitude. • " Rome, Aug. 23. "The General-in-Chief, OUDINOT DE REGGIO." The General also addressed the following order of the day to the army " Officers, non-commissioned officers, and soldiers I— , More than four months have passed since we together left the soil of country. The great and holy cause of Christianity in Central Italy called for the intervention of France. Obstacles of every nature were opposed to us; your eminent military qualities, and the powerful ! assistance of the navy, permitted you to surmount them. By valour and perseverance you have accomplished a task, the glorious remembrance of which will be perpe tuated. The army, now strongly established at Rome and in the cantonments, will be reduced in numbers. My mission is ended. I deliver the command in chief to General Rostolan. This general officer justly possesses , our confidence, which will never fail him. The examples of order: and discipline which you incessantly give here, will not be lost upon Italy. Faithful to your past, you will continue to bear with a worthy and firm hand the flag upon which you have shed a new lustre. Oa sepa rating from my companions in arms, I feel, the necessity of declaring to them that neither time nor distance can weaken my anxiety for their • interests. I shall call the particular attention of the Government to the military of every grade who have been proposed as worthy of re compense, and who have not yet obtained any. I shall be happy to repeat that all, officers and soldiers, have constantly given proofs of patriotism in this beautiful country of Italy, where our fathers left such imposing traditions and such profound sympathies. "Rome, Aug. 23. " The General•in-Chief, OUDINOT DE REGGIO." The Venice Gazette of the 26th ult. contains the following notification : " 1. On the 27th inst., at noon, all the individuals who are to leave Venice by sea, and who for this pur pose have received a ticket of embarkation for one of the eight ships expressly prepared for the purpose, shall proceed to the vessel they are respectively destined for, a here an officer will examine their papers, and having verified their identity, will admit them on board the vessel. 2. Those who are to emigrate, and who have not yet provided themselves with a ticket, may repair to the Hall of the Military Com mission, where they will receive one, up to four o'clock of the 26th. 3. At six P.M. of the 27th, the eight ships will be towed to the Alberoni, and if the weather be favourable they will immediately proceed to sea; otherwise, they will remain at the Alberoni, but no passenger will be allowed to land on pain of losing his right to his passage. 4. The ships will stop at Corfu, and thence proceed to Patras, when they will land all those who intend to proceed to Greece, Turkey, or other parts of Europe. 5. Those who wish to proceed to Alessandria will be immediately embarked at Corfu, in a vessel engaged for that purpose, and landed at the former city. 6. The expenses of passages to all other places except Corfu, Patras, and Alessandria, must be defrayed by the passengers themselves. " Signed by the Members of the Commission." The Risorgimento of Turin states, that on the 26th ult. the Duke of GENOA re-occupied Novara, which had been evacuated by the Austrians. The munici pality and a deputation of the National Guards went out to meet him, and presented an address expressive of attachment and gratitude. The people saluted him with enthusiastic cheers. The same paper publishes a letter from Venice of the 22d ult., stating that on the 13th MANIN assembled the National Guards on the square of St. Marco, passed them in review, and then harangued them from his balcony, explained the condition of Venice without concealing any circum stance, and concluded with these words :—"And whatever may happen, say this man was deceived; but never say this man has deceived us. I have never deceived any one. I have never held out ex pectations which I had not. I have never told you to hope when I did not hope." He then retired sud denly to give vent to a flood of tears which choked his voice. The Legge of Turin quotes a letter from Leghorn, stating that on the 20th the latter city was thrown into consternation by M. FENZI, the Florentine banker, having dispatched a telegraphic communica- •• • • tion to his correspondents at Leghorn, enjoining them to suspend every operation with Rome. The cause of this measure on his part has not transpired. A BODY FOUND AT WATERLOO.DRIDGE. -- This morning, at eleven o'clock, a young man, about 27 or 30 years of age, was discovered lying off Lett's timber yard on the lower Surrey side of Waterloo bridge. Mr. Smith, the officer, procured a shell, and the deceased was conveyed to St. John's Church vaults. From all appearances the unfortunate man appeared as if ho had been a groom or a stable-helper, but nothing was found on him whereby to trace his friends or re- Wives. The body had no marks of violence on it, and appeared somewhat fresh in the water. Mr. W. Carter, the Coroner, has been apprised of the finding of the body. BARTHOLOMEW FAIR, THIS DAY.—The annual . formaliti es were observed this forenoon, at the Court of Pie-Poudre, in Cloth-fair, Smithfield, previous to the three days' fair of Bartholomew. In Smithfield, where every sort of amusement used to be met with from the 3d to the 6th of September, nothing more was visible this day than about half-a-dozen gingerbread stalls. Tho shows for wild beasts, equestrians, &c., have been re moved to the New North-road, Islington, where a large space of ground has been taken for the purpose. The police regulations, however, are very strict, and no ex hibition will be allowed open later than the hour of ten each night, under a very heavy fine. Saturday a reward of 1001. was ordered for the apprehension of Daniel Devonport, who fired two pistol shots out of a revolver at James Reed, a constable of Warwickshire, who was escorting him to prison. What makes the crime of the culprit worse ia the fact that Reed had allowed him the indulgence of calling at his own house to procure some things on his way to prison, which enabled him to obtain the pistol with which he perpetrated the cowardly and unprovoked attack. The constable lies in a dangerous state from the two - wounds inflicted upon him, THE UNITED STATES (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) ARRIVAL OF THE AMERICA (From the Chronicle.) LIVERPOOL, MONDAY MORNING. The British and North American royal mail steam ship America has arrived in our river, with advices one week later in date than those brought over by the Cambria. The America left New York on the 22d, and Halifax on the 25th ultimo, and has consequently dates from the undermentioned places, as follows : New York, 22d ; Philadelphia, Boston, and Balti more, 21st ; Washington, 20th ; St. Louis and Cincinnati, 19th; Mobile and Montreal, 20th; Charleston, 20th ; and Quebec, 18th ultimo. In ad dition to her Abjesty's mails from the United States and the British North American colonies, the America brings a good number of passengers. By these advice 3 we learn that the Hibernia, whose arrival at Halifax was brought over by the Cambria's advices, had arrived at Boston ; and the Canada, which left this port on the 11th ult., and had been spoken by the same vessel on her homeward voyage, had reached Halifax, and after landing the mails and passengers for Nova Scotia, New Bruns wick, and the Canad as , h a d proceeded to complete her voyage. The election returns are now very complete, and leave not a shadow of doubt that the principles on which General Taylor fought the Presidential cam paign will not stand the test of the Legislature. His party will be in a minority in the House on all questions of a distinctive character ; and now that this fact is ascertained, the question begins to be agitated—what course General Taylor may adopt for the future. Notwithstanding the result of the late elections, it would appear that they have not been contested with any personal motive towards controlling the President; the strong and united position of the Democratic contrasted strongly with that of the Whig party—the latter of which through out the States generally are ill at ease with the Cabinet of General Taylor, and are using every en deavour to have it reconstructed. It is, however, surmised, as the President, on being elected, pledged himself to govern the Republic according to the tone adopted by the representatives of the Union, that his Excellency will merge many personal predilections, and adopt a line of policy in consonance with the views of the majority of the Legislature. The appointments he has recently made would, however, seem to militate against this view of the question, as they partake more of a Whig cast than heretofore. In one or two instances he has removed able Locofocos, and substituted Whigs of less ability. The convention of Barnburners and Hunkers at Rome, in the State of New York, has diversified the intelligence of the week. This convention, for which much preparation was made, was called to promote the fusion of all sections of Democrats, so as to carry on a united warfare against the Whig party in the next Legislature. The number of delegates was large, a considerable number attending from New York, and the proceedings were most animated. Another convention is named for Syracuse on the sth instant. The Whig state convention for the nomination of candidates for the various state offices of New York, to be elected in November, is named to meet at Syracuse on the 26th of September. The efforts of the Mayor of New York to dis countenance the Sunday liquor traffic have been to a great extent successful, and if the health of that functionary permit of his continuing his energetic course, there is no doubt of the disorderly scenes which disgrace the Sabbath in New York being put an end to. The Mayor's health, however, has been so much impaired as to render it necessary for him to sojourn for a time in the country. Several companies from New York have arrived in California, with machinery to assay, roll, and die the precious metal extracted from the diggings. They intend to establish a character in the coinage of five dollar gold pieces, and give over-weight, so as to entitle their coinage to confidence. They will, there fore, be of much service to the region until the Government establishes a Mint of its own. Public meetings had been held for the purpose of urging upon the President and his Cabinet the policy of selecting, for official situations, men of Whig cha racter and experience. General Taylor we are glad to find, has qu it e re covered from his illness, and has been received with much enthusiasm throughout his journey. At Pitt- burg and elsewhere great preparations had been made to receive him ; and altogether his reception must have been mot flattering to his feelings. The accounts regarding the cotton crops are still very unfavourable. The crop will not, it is expected, reach two and a quarter millions of bales. The corn and other grain crops are not more fa vourably spoken of than heretofore. The floods bad done much damage in many districts. The reports of cholera are less alarming than they have been for some time. The epidemic is decreasing in almost all the localities throughout the Union. The business advices to hind are very encouraging. Morey is abundant, and there are signs of more de mand for it now than for some time past. The dread attendant on the increase of cholera has disappeared and a revival of business is the consequence. There is also a disposition to invest in cotton, sugar, and real estate. On the whole, the trading prospects are most cheering. United States Sixes are quoted 115 ; Treasury Notes, 1144 ; Pennsylvania Fives, 87.1. The breadstuffs market is reported as being in an active state.

In cotton there was a fair amount of business doing at New York. Former quotations were steadily main tained as follows :—New Orleans mid. fair to fair, I 104 c, to 108 c. per lb. ; Upland mid, fair to fair, 101 c. to 101 c. per lb.

A further telegraphic dispatch from our Liverpool correspondent informs us that on the 15th im plicated Canadian Government arrested several parties in the riots and burning of the Parliament house. No opposition was then given to the arrest. In the evening, however, a mob attacked the house of Lafontaine, the Minister. The military, who had been hid in the house, fired thirty shots, killing a man named Mason. Some barricades were then erected which the soldiers demolished, and the people then dispersed. Mason's funeral was attended by large numbers—the coffin was dressed in red. Donegana's Hotel, in Montreal, has been totally burned. The coroner's investigation into the death of Mason was commenced on the 20th, at Cyrus's Hotel. When Lafontaine was giving his testimony, the hotel was fired. The utmost confusion ensued. Soldiers escorted Lafontaine to the Government House in the centre of a square of troops. The incendiaries escaped. The soldiers on guard at the hotel, when it was discovered to be on fire, ran about with fixed bayonets. Things have arrived at such a crisis, that the bending of a straw may produce a revolution ; and, to make matters worse, the Ministry have split with the military, and must resign. .Our Canada papers have not yet arrived.]—ED.

Thus it will be seen, although never absolutely wrorg on the Derby, I have been much more correct on the S!'
