A project has recently been brought forward which if fully and judiciously carried out is calcu lated to be productive of the most beneficial results in Ireland. The great problem to be solved is to ascertain the best mode of affording immediate and profitable employment for the labouring population in that country, and the first step to the attainment of that great desideratum is to provide certain and remunerative returns for the amount that may be invested, so that the capitalist may be induced to direct his attention to that much neglected land. Ireland is eminently an agricultural country, and it is by increasing the natural fertility of the soil, and by introducing an improved system of cultivation, that the object can best be promoted. For this pur pose the best energies of the tenant-farmers must be stimulated to the utmost ; they must be induced to co-operate with all their energies, to spare no exertions not only calculated to render their holdings not only as productive as possible for the time being, but also tending towards their permanent amelioration. These exertions can not be relied on unless the parties have an adequate interest in the soil, so that they may be certain that they themselves or their families will enjoy the fruits of their labours—that they will not be ejected from the lands which they have improved, or, what is almost equally objectionable, be compelled to pay higher rents in consequence of the beneficial results of their own industry. We have it on the highest authority—that of the Commissioners appointed to inquire into the law of landlord and tenant in Ireland —that the peasantry, if fully satisfied on these points, would spare no labour to improve the value of their holdings ; but, unfortunately, but little encourage n.ent has hitherto been afforded to them, and the mutual distrust entertained on the subject has had the effect of completely paralysing their exer tions. The comparative prosperity of the northern province is mainly ascribable to the system - of " tenant-right" in operation in many districts, a system which has invariably proved beneficial to all parties concerned, as well to the proprietors as to the occupiers of the soil. The recent movement by the Corporation of the city of London, under the auspices of the respected Loan MAYOR, has naturally directed the public at tention to this most important subject. A brief in vestigation will satisfy any unprejudiced inquirer that there is, perhaps, no other country where there are more favourable opportunities for the profitable investment of capital than in Ireland. The soil is naturally productive, and capable of being brought to th highest degree of fertility by the judicious application cf labour, and that labour is a mere drug in the market, which may be procured to any extent required, at a cheap rate; and yet tl.e land is permitted to remain waste and barren, or, if nominally under tillage, not half cultivated. While the labour is suffered to re main idle and unproductive, a useless burden on the naional resources, in place of creating national wealth, and these untoward results follow from an unfortunate combination of adverse circumstances, the rich mine of wealth existing in the thews and sinews of the labouring classes remains neglected and uncured for. At a future period, when the benevo lent exertions of those philanthropic persons who are noW agitating the question have been rewarded with well- [merited success, our children will wonder at the fully and apathy of those who remained inert and slothful, vainly lamenting the poverty of their court-, try while so many elements of wealth and prosperity existed at their very thresholds. We have now before us " Proposals for the formation of a Society under the auspices of and in connexion with the Corporation of the city of London, for the employment of the Irish People, and the elevation of their National Character," in which a new principle is suggested, by the operation of which a safe an d gra d ua l c h ange ma y b e e ff ec ted in the economical arrangements of the Irish people, and by which an intelligent and active yeomanry, possessing the absolute property of the lands they cultivate, may eventually be obtained. This great desideratum, it is said, may be obtained b "freehold a ssurance, " as it is termed, judiciously a system it co of m m bining the prirrApl , s of liFe assurance, with afe tenure of J.-0.11,:.

" TINT° Practic'il Suggestions for the Colonization aria Be.owanizition Of Ireland." By William Bridges. Londenf Ailliere. 1849. i a s THE SIIN, Lions we would invite the attention of our readers, as eminently worthy of perusal. When the society has been formed, and the necessary funds obtained, it is proposed— " That the Corporation enter into agreeMent with the Crown and with landed proprietors, for the purchase, cr right of pre-emption, of lands in suitable districts of Ireland ; and expend the necessary sums in adapting such estates to productive agricultural enterprise, by effectual arterial and thorough drainage, and by open. ing, deepening, and clearing rivers and outlets, where necessary, for the free discharge of water at all seasons; in building convenient farm-houses and cottages ; in laying out settlements, and dividing the same into such allotments as may be found expedient for the purpose of sale and disposal. The purchase money of such estates as may be considered desirable to be paid in money or in a stock to be created by the Corporation , at the option of that body. " The lands so improved, adapted, and divided. to be sold with a reasonable profit to persons of the requisite capital to cultivate the same, or otherwise conveyed in fee simple, or mortgage, to yeomen of good character, subject to a terminable rent charge on the following principle, or on such terms as may be agreed on : " The association to grant to yeomen farmers of good character the fee simple of a farm or allotment of land adapted for the purpose of husbandry or settlement, subject to an annual rent charge, to be paid during the life of the grantee. This rent charge to represent the annual payment, which, on the ordinary system of tenure, he would pay to the landlord for the use of the soil, together with such premium as would be necessary to enable the Corporation to re-assure the value of the property, and so replace the amount of their investment on the decease of the occupier. For example, a person aged 30 desires to possess and to secure to his children the absolute freehold of a farm, valued at 1001. A conveyance would be made to him o ' the said farm, subject to The rent charge of And the annual premium for insuring 2 10 0 £5 0 0 Total rent charge payable during the life of the grantee . _ . _ _ ... £7 10 0 " The farmer would thus virtually own during his life the freehold of the land, and on his decease it would become the unburthened patrimony of his chil dren, representatives, or devisees. The value of the fee simple would be restored to the association by virtue of the annual premium ; the property, during the life time of the occupier, remaining mortgaged to the asso ciation, as security for the rent and premium, and fdr the due observance of all necessary cove nants ; an un exceptionable security, inasmuch as the quasi tenant, along with a legitienate degree of independence, has all the motives and-interest of a landowner to improve the property under his care." We have no hesitation in saying that the plan thus briefly developed appears to be perfectly feasible— that if carried into execution it would afford ample profits to the shareholders, and would materially ele vate the social condition of the sister kingdom, and lead to the full development of her industrial resources. We trust that it may receive the general support to which it appears so well entitled. It should not be forgotten that the national welfare and prosperity of England is intimately connected with that of Ire land. The members of the association, in achieving the regeneration of that unhappy land, will not merely have acted with philanthropy and benevolence, and in a manner worthy of Christian men, but they win have consulted their own best interests, and followed the course dictated by mere worldly wisdom, as well as by the higher motives above indicated. In the author of " Hochelaga's " interesting new work " The Conquest of Canada," there is an intro ductory chapter which is worthy of consideration at the present moment, when constitutional questions are so generally agitated. In comparing the American colonies of England and France, this writer observes —" New France was colonized by a Government, New England by a People." In tracing out the consequences of these opposing characteristics we see the baleful effects of a system where " the state is everything" contrasted with the inherent vitality of a democracy. Let us contemplate the one picture and the other. " France founded a state in Canada, she established a feudal and ecclesiastical framework for the young nation, and into that Procrustean bed the growth of population and the proportions of society were forced." The state did what she deemed best for her own welfare and the welfare of the colony ; but hers was a mis taken kindness—" her energy absorbed all individual energy ; her perpetual and minute interference aspired to shape and direct all will and motive of her subjects." What was the consequence ? " When the power of the state was broken by a foreign foe, there remained no power of the people to supply its place. On the day that the French armies ceased to resist, Canada was a peaceful province of British America." Such was the result of so much careful state tutelage ; contrasted with this we read how a handful of Puritan refugees founded a people in New England :—" Far from seeking or accepting aid from the Government of England, they patiently tolerated their nominal dependence only because they were virtually independent." Such were the colonists of New England, and very similar were the rest of the British colonists. And what has been the conse quence of this self-supporting system ? These hardy adventurers bequeathed to their offspring life. No gradual decay could render their labours fruitless ; no foreign enemy could overthrow their self-sustain ing system— ' The same free spirit, which was theirs, in those plan tations stayed, And the young and strong Republic was by these in virtue bred, She was cradled in adventure, she was nurs ed in good men's dread, The young and strong Republic that has filled the world with fame, And with great praise and marvel of the Anglo-Saxon name.'' Such are the opposing consequences of these opposing systems ; in the work above referred to they are most ably and succinctly set forth. Similar results have, however, been already recognised as springing from similar causes in the old world. Ale,olute monarchies have crumbled away, and will Grumble away by an irresistible law, because they cherish within them the seeds of corruption. Where is the dynasty of him who proudly and presumptuously exclaimed, " L'etat c'est moi 1" (I am the state !) Where is that state, strengthened with so much care and girt about with so much glory ? What record remains of the grand monarq:x's grandeur now ? It is quite unnecessary to cite further examples; some years hence, perhaps, other 23 startling names may be added to the catalogue, when the people of the north shall have felt their power and recognised their rights, and the gigantic empire of " the realms of frost" shall have melted away, as it assuredly will do. LA us content ourselves for the present with drawing prac tical advantages from the consideration of these great facts. It cannot be said that in this country we have a state and not a people. Nevertheless, there is no lack of opportunity for the co-operation of state and people in accelerating reform and removing abuses, so as to give us in reality all those boons of which we boast—those democratic institutions and popular privileges which (in accordance with the above theory) shall ensure our prosperity and existence as a nation. OUTRAGE ON THE BRITISH FLAG AND REPARATION BY THE AUSTRIANS. On Thursday last, the 16th -instant, the following event took place at Leghorn, and was likely to become a source of serious misunderstanding between the chief of the British squadron there and thi Austrians. The boats of her Majesty's ship Bellero phon, 78 guns, commanded by Captain Baynes, GB , were exercising, when the launch and pinnace were dispatched for a supply of water. They had just got inside the Mole, when it was perceived by the officer on guard that they had their guns mounted, where upon they were immediately surrounded and seized, and the officers and crew were kept prisoners for upwards of t wr. hours. The officer in command, after some difficulty, succeeded in making the commandant acquainted with the facts of the case, when they were released, but in a very ungracious manner. It was not likely, however, that this outrage wag to remain unatoned, tor Captain Baynes, with his cha racteristic determination and devetion to the honour of the British flag, dispatched an officer to Baron Wimpfen, the commander- in•chief of the Austrian army, at present stationed at Florence, demanding instant and full reparation and apology, and in the meantime made every preparation to enforce his de mands. The result, however, of Captain Baynes's able, prompt and energetic behaviour was, that the gallant Austrian commar .d er a t once saw he impro prdolspiephtayetecob,feehdeiseoenseutabbionergdl7ientvabeterfry'sothin i conduct, and an officer was n k o. lo th re a n t c c e atpotatilnaeßßayelnlees had de s ir e d, and with into the an order for the boats of the Belleroph on to come Mole, manned and armed, and ther e t o be received by same the t guard im eo w f with Y arms presented, a n d b an d pla • Queen," a salute being fi re d at the playing "God save the guns in honour of the British flag. Dispatches were received yesterday at the Colonial office trom the Governors of the West India Colonies. LONDON. THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 23, 1849. TItE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The Moniteur du Soir publishes the following tele graphic dispatch : "Berlin, August 19. " TEE MINISTER OF FRANCE TO THE MINISTER FOR OFFICIAL BULLETIN OF PASKIEWITCH, ANNOUNCING GEORGEY'S SURRENDER. VIENNA, AuG. 18.—The Wiener Zeitung of this day contains the official announcement that Raab was occupied by the Imperial troops on the 15th. The insurgents had made every preparation for a vigorous defence, but retired to Comorn. The Warsaw Gazette publishes a bulletin from Prince:PAsKiEwmo to the EMPEROR, which con• eludes in the following terms : 'Hungary is at the feet of your MAJESTY; the government of the insurgents, which was in the hands of GEORGE; is fallen ; he has laid down his arms unconditionally before the Russian army, and his example will, in all likelihood, be followed by the other insurgent corps. The offi cers sent by Him to treat of a capitulation show themselves ready to accompany Austrian and Russian Commissioners to the other corps, and to engage them to surrender also. " I have the happiness to inform your MAJESTY that the sole condition demanded by GEORGEY was to lay down his arms before your MAJESTY'S army. I took the necessary measures that all the troops should be surrounded in every part by the corps of . General ItUDIGEE, whom I charged to disarm them. I shall concert with the General-in-Chief of the Austrian forces on the subject of the delivery of the prisoners, and the arrangements rela tive to the other insurgent corps. I have . had Gene ral GEORGEY taken to my head- quarters, where he will remain till I receive instructions from your MAJESTY. " PASKIEWITCII." PRUSSIA. Prince NICHOLAS of Holstein-Glucksburg, a lieu tenant in the 2d regiment of Dragoons of Prussia, died on the 18th at Berlin, from having taken p o i s o n in mistake. He was under treatment for disease of the skin, for which internal and external remedies were ordered. On returning from the theatre, he by error, took a dose from the phial containing the remedy to be applied externally, which was a violent poison. All the assistance of the physicians was of no avail ; his sufferings lasted 48 hours. The Cologne Gazette states that, on the demand of the Government of Baden, 25,000 Prussians are to occupy the Grand Duchy for three years. The Prussian Government had offered to leave 30,000 fur five years. Lord WESTMORELAND, English Ambassador at Berlin, has left that city on leave of absence for some weeks. During his absence Mr. HOWARD, first secretary, is to take charge of the affairs of the Embassy. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO -THREE. There was a moderate business done in Cotton at Liverpool yesterday, the sales being about 6,000 bales, including 1,400 taken on speculation. Prices of Ame rican were barely supported; Surats and Brazilian were id. dearer, and Egyptian were difficult to purchase at per lb. advance.—Railway Shares continued firm, and prices had an upward tendency. The sales of Wheat in the towns which govern the official average prices ere, last week, 73,838 quarters, being much less than at the corresponding period of last year. The continental papers contain no news of importance upon monetary or commercial topics. At Amsterdam on Tuesday, the tendency of the foreign funds was rather less favourable, and Dutch Two-and-a• Half per Cents. closed at 52i. At Berlin on the 20th instant the Three.und•a-Half per Cents, realised 87. At Frankfort on the 20th Austrian Stock was quoted 75.1, and at Vienna on the 18th the Meta Hies were 94. The Riga advices of the 13th inst. state that wool was in fair demand. Further correspondence, received by the Mexican mail, has been made public by the Committee of Spanish American Bondholders, and there is no mention made of Congress opposing the plan for arranging the foreign debt. On the contrary, Messrs. Manning and Mackintosh state that the belief was that it would he carried out, though, of course, nothing positive could be asserted. It appears that Messrs. Manning had collected 33,774 dollars for ac count of the bondholders, but that the Government would not allow at present any further sum to come for ward, expecting apparently that the new plan would be agreed to, and the money then paid to the Bank of England, instead of passing into the hands of the pre sent agents. The proportion of duties for June is set down at 30,780 dollars. At present it is needless to comment upon the matter, as we must await e later ac counts, and we only hope the plan will be assented to, and carried out. There is evidence in another quarter of something being done for English creditors. Equador has sent over, through the vice-consul, proposals for a settlement, and if not very brilliant, they are perhaps in proportion to the resources of the country. The Committee of Bondholders have these - proposals, but there will be no meeting until next week to take them into con sideration. The . Peninsular Mail has arrived, and we have likewise the remainder of the Overland Mail. There is much pleasure in noticing any favourable circumstances eonnected with the mercantile panic here, which, during two years prostrated such a large number of houses, and especially as such circumstances are but rare. One case of most successful winding-up, how ever, we have before us, viz., that of the estate of Mr. G. T. l3ratne ' East India merchant, who suspended for 350,0001. in July, 1848, and has paid in full with in terest, having a surplus besides of 120,0001. to 150,000/. Such instances are rare, and Mr. J. E. Coleman, the accountant, deserves great credit, while one is naturally led to conclude that the fall of a house showing such a surplus, even after sacrificing property and paying all debts, ought never to have been permitted, and that a banking system which could suffer it, must be erroneous. The Funds opened' tolerably well, and the "settle ment" .of the Hungarian question, as it is errone ously • called, • inclined some parties to anticipate an advance, but others, more reflecting, are persuaded that there will be difficulty enough remaining behind, and look also to the difficult game which the French have to play at Rome. Consols have been 92.1- to 934 for Transfer, and 93 to for Accotint. Exchequer bills are 435. to 465. premium, and India Bonds, 735. to 765.-premium. Bank Stock is worth 1994. The New Three-and a-Quarter per Cents. have been 94 to 4. The .Foreign Securities have been dull. Equador have been 34 to 44; Brazilian, 864; and Mexican, 274 to 284.

Of the fact of the surrender of GEORGEY we fear ;here can be no doubt—the intelligence comes from too many sources at once to permit us to doubt of its truth. From Warsaw, from Vienna, from Berlin, from Paris, we receive the same intelligence. Whether the surrender, however, was an act of necessity or of treason does not as yet distinctly appear, and we will hope it was not the latter until undeniable evidence shall appear to the contrary. It is said that GEORGEY wrote to Count RUDIGER and to the Prince of WARSAW that he was ready to lay down his arms, but only before the Russian arms, declaring that he would fight to the utmost extremity rather than surrender to the Austrians. Marshal P A SKIEWITCH accepted the proposal of submission. On the 14th he left for Grosswardein, where the Hungarian army was to file off with GEORGEY at its head ; and on the 16th the Hungarian army, with GEORGEY at their head, filed off before PASKIEWITCH at Grosswardein, and delivered up their arms. PASKIEWITCH dispatched General BATINLIN to HAYNAU to announce the sur render of GEORGEY, and also the defeat of BEM by LUDERS near Hermannstadt, with the loss of eighteen pieces of cannon and several prisoners. It is said that GEORGEY was endeavouring to effect a junction with DEMBINSKI, failing in which he was compelled to surrender. He hopes, it is said, to obtain a pardon for himself and a free amnesty for the troops under his command, and he has given himself up as , a holocaust to his country. It is said that after the defeat of the Hun garians at Temesvar a council of war was held at Arad, at which KOSSUTH was pre sent, whea GEORGEY pronounced for sur render, on which KOSSUTH left the council. One account states that he is at Orsona, to which place he has transferred the seat of the Government; another account states that he has taken refuge in the Danubian provinces, where he has been joined by BEM. The following is the official bulletin of HAYNAU, detailing the operations of the army engaged in raising the siege of Temesvar : " After the victorious battle at Szorog, near Szegedin, the enemy was pursued without relaxation. The army, notwithstanding the great exertions made in the rapid march from Nagy-Igmand to Szegedin, reached as early as the 7th of August, the line of St. Miklos, Albrechts fur, 0. Bessenyo, and Monin; and on the Bth that of Szaiteny (on the right bank of the Maros), Racz, Sr. Peter, Peszak, Lovrin, and advanced through Czatad to Hatzfeld. In this pursuit, during which the enemy only attempted to make some resistance at 0. Bessenyo, Al. brechtsflur, and Marienfeld, which was, however, soon broken through by the 3rd army corps, in union with the division of Wallmoden cavalry, a crowd of prisoners and stragglers, then a flag and cannon, fell into our hands. The landaturm was completely dissolved, and many deserters came over from the regular troops, chiefly Austrian soldiers, who having been taken prisoners had been compelled to bear arms against us. The number of deserters and prisoners thus picked up amounted to about 3,000. From Mako, Lieutenant Field-Marshal Count Schlick sent a detachment to Me- zohegyes,which saved the treasury funds there and 3,000 horses. I had ascertained that the whole forces of the enemy had retired from Szegvdin to Tem, svar, and that the corps of the Lower Theiss, commanded by Vetter, had joined them there. The insurgents seemed resolved to stand a decisive battle before Temesvar, and for this purpose their exceedingly numerous troops were pre. vidcd with more than 100 pieces of artillery. I ad vanced on the 9th of August with the 31 army corps, and the Wallmoden division of cavalry from Czatad towards Kis-Becskerek, with the Russian division of Paniutin, together with the reserve artillery from Lovrin, through Gillet, in the same direction, while the reserve corps was ordered up from Peszak, through Racz to liodony and Karany, to take the enemy in his right flank. I had directed the first army corps to send out side columns on both banks of the Maros to Pecska and Fonnok, but to march with the main body of troops from Racz and St. Peter to Monoster and Vinga, in order to cut off the enemy's line of commuication between Arad and Temes var, and to take his artillery, as I knew that he had already raised the siege of Temesvar. The enemy had posted his rear guard at Kis-Becskerek, from which place be was soon dislodged by the third army corps. As I debouched with the third army corps, and the division of cavalry out of Becskerek, in order to reach an advantageous position where the troops might securely cook their meal and bivouack, the enemy de veloped upon his retreat more and more batteries and divisions of cavalry. I caused him immediately to be driven by the troops at band across the defile formed by a marshy brook which cut the road. The enemy made a firm stand on the other side of the brook. Behind the Beregszo brook, where his numerous forces were masked by close thickets, the enemy made, sometimes on the right, sometimes on the left, inanoluvres to outflank us, and on our left flank he succeeded for a time in stopping our progress. "I now caused the Russian division of Paniutin gra dually to advance with its batteries, and the reserve ar tillery to come into line of battle; and when by the development of this great mass of artillery the enemy was partly silenced, I ordered a general advance. The cavalry-brigade of Ledrer covered the right flank to wards Szakalhaz, from which point the enem y endea voured to outflank us, while I applied the light cavalry brigade of Simbschen upon the left wing of the line of battle from Besenowa, with effect. At this moment, four in the afternoon, the reserve corps appeared before Hodony, and Lieut. F. M. Prince Franz Lichtenstein advanced in the direction of St. Andra's against the enemy's right flank. " The enemy now gave way along the whole line, fol lowed by our troops. Behind the Beregszo-brook he still held the wood till evening set in. Active pursuit was not possible, as brooks and marshy spots hampered the action of cavalry, which for the rest was extremely exhausted by the continual fighting and the long marches in this completely open country. " When the twilight descended, having ascertained by a reconnoisance that the enemy had already left the wood, and continued his retreat, I resolved the same evening to reach the gates at Temesvar, and started at the head of two divisions of cavalry for this purpose, causing our ad vance to be covered by some battalions. The enemy, who had occupied the jungle, attempted indeed to stop our progress, but the effort was frustrated by a half-ba:- tery that was directed against his flank; and the relief of Temesvar was effected with incredible rapidity. " The cheers of joy with which the whole population received me were extraordinary. During this battle, which I wish to call the battle of Temesvar, the garrison of the fortress made a sally, and inflicted considerable loss on the enemy. "I owe this hippy result chiefly to the indefatigable devotion of my troops, which, after a march of such un exampled rapidity from the Danube hither, and after a journey of twelve miles on the 9th, without having dined, fought with courage and endurance till nightfall. " In respect of exertion, the cavalry has made incre dible effurts. I must also bear witness to the praise• worthy conduct of the whole artillery of my army. The infantry did not, properly speaking, come into action, for the whole battle was reducible to a violent cannonade, which lasted six or seven hours, mixed with some effec tive charges of cavalry. " The — opp ,rtune striking in of the reserve corps con tributed potently to the victory. The vanguard of this corps had reached the high road from Arad to Temes var, through Karany, taken four 24-pounders, several ammunition waggons, and an immense number of baggage waggons, while it caused terrible confusion to our adversaries. General Schlick had advanced with his army corps to Monostor, and with his vanguard to Vinga, where he madt , 300 prisoners and took a large magazine of military clothing. " I have to-day concentrated the army at Temesvar, with the exception of the first corps, which will invest Arad; and thrown out advanced posts to Remote, and as far as the river Tames. " The enemy has fled with the wildest precipitation to Lagos, baggage, guns, munition -waggons, all galloping helter-skelter together; the infantry has nearly all dis banded, and had not the night surprised us, it I had had the least idea of this tremendous confusion, I would have sent the cavalry after them, all exhausted with fatigue as they were. In the neighbouring jungle there was a manufacture of arm, which has been destroyed by the insurgents themselves; and within the walls of this building, at nine o'clock at night, were still seated Dem binslti, Guyon, K met i, Vetter, and Bem , who had ar rived the same day accompan ied, probably, by some re inforcements, and h a d assume d the command-in-chief o f the army. Upon the field of battle were found an innu merable quantity of thrown-down arms. Deserters and prisoners were brought in by the heap. Tho number of the latter up t o y ester d ay amoun t e d to 6,000. " The deva s t at i on i n T emesva r, caused by the born bardment, battered to one ru i n; and I canno t sufficiently ext o l t h e is beyond description horrible. The city was endurance and hardihood of the garrison here, as well as their commander, Lieutenant Field-Marshal Baron Rukavvina. During the siege 2,400 of the garrison have died of divers complaints, mostly typhus and fever; 300 have been killed by the enemy's fire, 1,400 are still sick in the hospital, and 600 sick in the companies, for whom there is no room in the hospital. " The f o rtifi cat i ons are pre tty nearly und amage d , except on th ree s i des, which are grea tly i n j ure d. Not withstanding; the ext re me v iolence and length of the ar tillery fight, our loss OR the 9th was very small. It consists, so far as is yet known to me, and as respects the Austrian army, in 15 killed and 36 wounded. Major Baron Broett a , o f t h e E mperor Ferdinand's cuir ass i ers , has fallen ; an d t h e capta i n o f ca valry, Pri nce T ax i s, Count P a lffy, and Baron Simbschen, of the Emperor's lancers, and Lieutenant Caravaggio of the Lichtenstein chevaux lepers, are wounded. Of the Russian division 0 are killed and 8 wounded. " The want of butchers' meat in the fortress of Te mesvar was such that for eighteen days the garrison dev, ured her , e-flesb. During the siege Lieutenant- Field-Marshal Glaser was killed by a fall. " HAYNAII, Feldz3ugmeister. " Temesvar, A ug . 10 , 1849."

" The Count of Berkendorf, aid-de-camp to the Emperor of Russia, arrived from Warsaw this evening, commissioned by the Emperor, to announce to the King of Prussia the conclusion of the war in Hungary. Georgey, appointed Dictator, after the departure of Kossuth, submitted with all his forces at Arad on the 13th August to Marshal Paskiewitch. The corps of General Bern has been destroyed by General Luders." The semiofficial Patrie confirms this intelligence by the following : " A dispatch has been received to -day at the Russian Embassy, announcing the complete submission of the Hungarians. This news was brought to Warsaw by Col. de Paskiewitch, son of the Commander-in-Chief of the Russian army. It was Georgey who came to this grave determination, in consequence of the defeats sus tained by Kossuth and Bern, and which led to his being appointed Dictator. Honourable conditions were granted to him before his glorious army laid down their arms." The following details (adds the Patrie) are given in a private letter from St. Petersburgh, dated 16th : "This morning Prince Theodore Paskiewitchjhas brought to the Emperor the news that George.) , had written to Count Rudiger and to the Prince of Warsaw to announce that he was ready to lay down his arms, but to the Russian army alone, declaring that he would con tinue the war to the last rather than surrender to the Austrians. Marshal Paskiewitch accepted the proposi tion of submission. On the 14th he left for Grosswar dein, where he will cause the Hungarian army to file off before him, with Georgey at their head. Georgey hopes to obtain a pardon and a general amnesty for his troops, and gives himself up to the mercy of his enemy by way of expiation. General Boutourline has been sent to Marshal Haynau to announce this news. At the same time we have received the news that General Luders had just beaten and entirely destroyed the army of Bern, near Hermanustadt. Eighteen guns were taken, and a mass of men killed or made prisoners. Bern has disappeared, as has also Kossuth, after having abdicated. Georgey was elected in his place, and profited by this to make his submission." The following letter has been addressed by the Archbishop of PARIS to the members of the Peace Congress : " TO THE MEMBERS OP THE CONGRESS OF TEE FRIENDS OP lINIVERBAL PEACE. PARIS, AUGUST 17. "Gentlemen,--I have been profoundly touched by the visit which Messrs. De Larochefoucauld-LiaLcourt, Vic tor Hugo, Coquerel, and Eau Burritt were good enough to pay me, and by the letter which you have written to me to offer me the presidency of the Congress of the Friends of Universal Peace. " This, gentlemen, is an honour, the full value of which I feel, and for which I should never be able adequately to express my gratitude. "I think with you, gentleman, that war is a remnant of ancient barbarism ; that it is accordant with the spirit of Christianity to desire the disappearance of this formidable scourge from the face of the earth, and to make strenous efforts to attain this noble and generous end. "Perhaps, alas! the time has not yet come when it will be completely possible for the nations to enter upon the path of peace. Perhaps war will continue for many years longer to be a cruel necessity. " But it is allowable, it is praiseworth, it is noble, to labour to make the peoples understand that they, as well as individuals, should endeavour with the least pPs sible delay to terminate their differences by pacific means, and that humanity and civilisation will have made immense progress on the day when an end shall have been put to these fratricide! contests. " I beg you, therefore, gentlemen, to inscribe .my name amongst those of the friends of the Peace Con• gress; but it causes me deep regret that I cannot, on account of my health, accept the honour which you have so kindly offa-ed me, of presiding over you. "If my physician , who strongly urges me to take a trip into the country, to prevent my health becoming worse, would nevertheless consent to let me put it off for a few days, and if my neuralgic pains were not too violent, it would afford me sincere pleasure to be present at one of your sessions. " Receive, gentlemen, together with the expression of these sentiments, the assurance of my most distinguished consideration. " f MARIE DOMINIQUE AUGUSTE, "Archbishop of Paris." The congress was to hold itk first meeting yester day. M. VICTOR HUGO MIS to officiate as president and to make the inauguration address. The vice presidents are Messrs. Cobden, Vesschers, Coquerel, Deguerry and Durkee ; and secretaries, Messrs. Joseph Gamier, Henry Richard, Elihu Burritt, and A. Cochin. Among those who have signified their intention to be present at the congress are the following : Messrs. Cormenin, Bastiat, Bouvet, Wolowski, Emile de Girardin, Larochefoucauld-Liancourt, Roussel, Van Hoorebeke, Suringar, and many others. M. de Lamartine would have acted as President, but the bad state of his health will not permit him to do so. The Council of State has made its report on the case of M. DD LESSEM The report states that that gentleman did not carry out his instructions, and that he entered into arrangements injurious to the honour of France. The fact is, M. DE LESSEPS has been sacrificed to M. DE FALLOUX, who betrayed him on his arrival in Paris, with a JUDAS' kiss. The veteran diplomatist was no match for the wily young Jesuit. We read in the Presse—" In a note which was yesterday dispatched to Gaeta, the Ministry declares to the POPE that General OUDINOT has exceeded his instructions in giving up the full powers with which he was invested to the commission of Car dinals, and particularly for having the air of legalising, by his silence, all that the commission has done since the day of its installation. The French Government, adds the note, considers it its duty to warn his Holiness that, from this moment, France and her representatives at Rome will reserve to themselves the high hand in all the acts of the Government; that in the event of the POPE, his advisers, or any one of the intervening powers wish ing to oppose this decision, the representatives of France have orders not to pay any attention to their protestations, and, in case of fleet to call in the aid of the army of occupation to make the just rights of the French Government respected. If, as we have good grounds for believing, those are the terms of the dispatch which has been transmitted to Gaeta, we declare bAorehand, without fear of being mistaken, that the Ministry will obtain by its threats exactly the same result that it has hitherto obtained by its supplications." The !foniteur says :—" The Constitutionnel, in its number of the 15th, gives an account of several fires which have recently broken out in the departments of the Drome and Isere, and which it states to have been the result of an organised plot against public ] security. e This Tp ah senta mpfi the p ern o e s ts s i t pi which n hba , have which hb mind,eh c e h a nv me followeda tyi taken k c ed a ne u v s o e pi di aba by the efa ti allhni ne- fftouhulo disquietude those a t t w i o n most minute investigations on the part of justice. most of them only arose from imprudence or acci dent.

THREE o'CLocx.—The news of the pacification of Hungtry had the effect which might have been expected from it. It created a great rise in the price of the Public Funds, To-day the French Five per Cents. touch 901., and closed firm at 891. 85e. There was, however, another reason for this rapid rise—the discounting which has been going on some days past. Yesterday, 60,0001. Five per Cent. Renter were discounted. To-day 65,0001. Five per Cent. Rentes were discounted. This of itself shows that some heavy speculations are going on for the rise. Baudon's Bank has advertised another dividend of 251. per share.

This premeditated and cold-blooded murder con tinues to form the almost absorbing topic of conver sation, and all kind of rumours are afloat respecting the reported arrest of Manning, and the arrival at the Euston station, from Edinburgh, of his reputed wife, but none of them have turned out to be corroct. Up to the time of going to press no intelligence had been received at Scotland-yard, either as to the discovery of Manning, or as to Mrs. Manning having reached London. It is stated, and apparently with some good reason, that Alarming remains concealed in the metropolis ; and if that be so, there can be no doubt that he will soon be arrested, for, being without money, as it is believed he is, he will not be able to remain long in concealment. Mrs. Manning is expected by every train from the north, and officers, we believe, are at the station awaiting her arrival. It appears now that she will not be examined at Bow-street, but that she will be taken to the Southwark Police•court, which has jurisdiction in the district where the mur der was committed. EXTENSIVE FIRES DURING LAST NIGHT.—The firemen and engines of London have been pretty well engaged during last night in various parts of the metro pods, but only the following aro worth notice:—The first between six and seven this morning, in the house of Abey Belasco, of Middlesex-street, Petticoat-lane, where a child set fire to various articles of clothing and furni ture with luci'er-matches, and was with great difficulty saved. The second fire, on the premises of Mr. Letts, stationer, Queen-street, Cheapside. A great quantity of the stock in the warehouse was destroyed, but insured in the , Phorrix Fire•office. The third fire happened at the house of Mr. Waters, of Sampson-street, Wapping, where the family had a very narrow escape, and the fire was not; extinguished until a great portion of household furniture was consumed. Insured in the Sun Fire-offiee. SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN. The Borsenhalle of Hamburgh says that Colonel HODGES, the English Commissioner in the affairs of Schleswig-Holstein, was very much annoyed at the refusal of the Danes to effect an exchange of prisoners at Duppel, and had written to Copenhagen to say that if the exchange were not made in three days, ke would consider his mission at an end. M. JACOBSEN has resigned the post of Minister of War of the Duchies of Schleswig- Holstein, and also his seat in the Chamber of Representatives. It will be remembered that a propoAt ion was made to impeach him, but rejected by the Chamber. HOLLAND. ROTTERDAM.—The principal merchants of this city have petitioned the Government, praying for a daily postal communication between this city and England. THE CHOLERA.—AMSTERDAM, ACTG. 20.—Only 2 fresh cases occurred yesterday, and 3 deaths. At the Hague and Scheveningen, from the 21st of May to the 18th of August, there were 1,011 cases, 507 of which proved fatal. UTREcaT.Z-According to the weekly report there were 323 new cases, and 201 deaths. At Arnheim, on the 18th, there were 17 new cases, 9 of which proved fatal. At Zwolle, the total number of cases has been 255, of which 76 proved fatal. The mortality at this place has created such a panic among the people, that the Government has ordered that all cholera funerals shall take place from five till nine o'clock in the morning, and on Sundays from five till eight. In consequence of the prevalence of the disease throughout the country there is to be no Carnival in any of the chief cities.—Dutch Papers, August 21. ITALY. The following article ( in French and Italian) is published by the Giurnale di Roma : " Before the reception of General Oudinot and his staff by the Pope, his Holiness had admitted the Abbe Testard du Cosquer, who during the siege had shared in the fatigues and dangers of the French troops, to kiss his feet. The Sovereign Pontiff received this young priest with a kindness truly paternal; he addressed to him and to the army the most touching expressions ; and was several times much affected at the remembrance of the sufferings, the losses, and the Christian courage displayed by the officers and the soldiers; and particu larly dwelt on the eternal gratitude which he should feel towards France and tile General-in-Chief. The Holy Father granted, as a particular mark of his grati- tude, a plenary indulgence in articulo mortis to all the wounded and all the sick French soldiers, as long as the expedition should remain. The whole army will appre ciate this fresh proof of interest, and the soldiers will suffer with more calmness and resignation when they shall know that the Father of all the Faithful, full of solicitude, had bestowed on them one of the most precious favours of the Church." The Giornale di Romo, of the 11th, states that the POPE has named Cardinal Comma Protector of the Order of Carmelites. The same journal has the fol lowing : " On the 6th instant, a great number of Neapolitans living at Rome, and several Romans, desirous of cele brating the restoration of the arms of his Sicilian Ma jesty and those of the Pontiff at the Palazzo Farnese, as also the happy accouchement of the Queen of Naples, applied to the General Commandant of Rome tor a French military band of music. This band was sent after dinner by the Commandant to the Piazza Farnese, and there the popular blessings OH the brave Monarch who receives the Sovereign Pontiff, Prince of the States of the Church, with such benevolence and love, mingled with the sound of the military music. An illumivation closed the festivities of the evening." The public spirit in Venice continues unabated against Austria. As yet the bombardment has not done much damage —very few of the shells _have reached the city. The municipality of Mantua resigned on the 10th instant, because the Austrian Commissioners required the province to support alone the debt resulting from the contributions and loans extorted from that unfor tunate territory. The paternal Government, in order to punish the municipality, has fined the members severally two and three thousand florins. An amnesty similar to that of Milan was published at Parma on the 13th inst. It bore the signature of the Austrian Commissioner, Baron STURMER, and excludes from its effects the following citizens : SANVITATE GIsIA, Count CASTAGNIOLA. and his two sons, Dr. PELLEGRINI, Captain LEVIVARDI, Lieut. GROSSARDI-AZZONI, and GIUSEPPE. The Staluto of Florence states from Rome, 13th inst., that in consequence of the insolent behaviour of the Spaniards quartered at Velletri the people rose and drove them out of the town. An insurrection also has taken place at Poggo Mirleto, a small place of the Pontifical States, where the people declared that what was going on was against the will of Pius IX. Three hundred Spaniards have been sent to re store order there. The Extraordinary Pontifical Commissioner of the four legations has announced to the town of Ferrara that his HOLINESS has deigned to absolve it from the remainder of the war contribution which was imposed upon it in Feb ruary last. The Genoa Gazette of the 18th states, from Leg horn, that a quarantine has been prescribed for all ships coming from France and Corsica, in come• quence of the cholera having made its appearance at Marseilles. A letter from Verona, of the 11th, in the Repub licans of Lugano, states that, while business was going on briskly at the fair of Mirra, a Vene tian detachment suddenly appeared, bought up for ready money all the provisions, oxen, pigs, and poultry to be had, and then quietly resumed the road to Venice. The same letter states that GARI BALDI has already begun to cruise in the open sea, and to operate against the Austrian fleet. Accounts from Gaeta state that M. DE CORCELLES is so indisposed that he must retire to Castelmarre. "I he Austrian envoy, taking advantage of M. DE CORCELLES indisposition, has so given himself up to the reactionary party and the Cardinals, that a note of complaint will be forthwith addressed to the Ca binet of Vienna by M. DE TOCQUEVILLE. DEATH OF SIR ASTON KEY.—This morning, at half-past seven o'clock, the above-named eminent gen tleman died at his residence at Great St. Helen's-place, Bishopsgate. The deceased gentleman, it is stated, was attended during yesterday by several eminent physicians at his residence. A cheap excursion trip, which took place on Mon dcy last, from London to Hastings by the South -Eastern line, was taken advantage of by nearly 3,000 person, and appeared to give the greatest sltisfaction. The whole fare (there and back) being only ss. and 65., it may be presumed that the majority of the excursionists consisted of the labouring and industrious classes. Every accommodation was provided for them at the dif ferent inns and hotels, and the town presented altoge ther a gay and busy appearance. Atter having had ample time to enjoy the splendid scenery of Hastings, and to inhale the refreshing sea breezes, the c ompany returned to town about eleven o'clock. In order to ac• commodate the whole of the passengers, four different trains had to be provided. Do., Prefer., 6 per Ct. ...... Do., Pref. Quar., 18i8 9 - ..
