Much regret has been excited in Ireland by the death of ANTHONY RICHARD BLAKE, Esq., formerly Chief Remembrancer of her Majesty's Court of Exchequer in Ireland, who departed this life at his chambers in the Albany on the 10th instant. Mr. BLAKE was a man of very considerable ability, sound practical wisdom, and true . integrity. For many years he occupied an important position in Government circles. An undue fondness for political intrigue was consequently im puted to him, and he was said to have mixed himself up in the political affairs of the country in a much greater degree than was really the case. He was held up as a sort of bugbear by the Tory press of the country, because his principles were ever moderate and strongly opposed to the ascendancy doc trines of the good old days of Orange domination. Every eoncession that was made, every act of justice or liberality that was sanctioned by the Irish Executive, was ascribed to the evil influences of the Roman Catholic Privy Councillor, the irresponsible adviser (as he was termed) of successive Lord-Lieutenants. A firm and conscientious supporter of the legislative union between Great Britain and Ireland, he was equally obnoxious to the designs of both Liberals and Repealers. lie was ti.us too frequently exposed to a raking fire from both extremes of the great parties in Ireland. His career was a remarkable one. Having ob tained a commission in the army at an early age, he became so thoroughly au fait, so practically efficient in his military duties, that he was speedily promoted to the adjutancy . of his regiment. Having married and retired from the service, he applied himself to the study . of the law, and having been some time after wards called tlthe English b ar , h e d evo t e d hi mse lf to the equity ranch of the profession. Although an Irishman and a Catholic —neither of which qualities were regarded as very strong recommenda tions in those days, Mr. BLAKE made immense pro gress, and rapidly rose to a remarkably high position for his standing in the profession. The ability, in dustry, and persuasive address for which Mr. BLAKE was so remarkable, together with what may be termed "his Court manner," brought him under the notice of Lord ELDON, and some interesting reminis cences of the estimation in which the deceased gentle man was held by the Tory Chancellor, may be found in the life of that nobleman by Mr. HORACE Twiss. During that period Mr. BLAKE was distinguished as a leading and sagacious adviser of the Catholic party in England. Indeed, he fully participated in that respect with the late well- known and eminent con veyancer, Mr. CHARLES BUTLER. On this account, as well as for other reasons, he acquired the confi dence of the most eminent members of the Whig party, and amongst others, that of the late Marquis of WBLIMILVT (whose memoirs were in course of preparation by Mr. BLAKE at the time of his death). About this period his health began to give way, and he embraced a suitabl e oppor t un it y that then offered of returning to his native land. This opportunity wa s brought about by the passing of an Act (4 George IV., remodelling cap. 70), the equity branch of the Court of Exchequer in Ireland. It may be worth while adverting to the state of that court at the time of the: enactment of the statute to which we have just alluded. It had been the fashion to give not only to noblemen and noblemen's sons, but even to noblemen's daughters and other female relatives, posts of emolument in Ireland. It is well known that Lord RODEN (the Magnus Apollo of the Orange party) is even at this moment in the enjoy ment of the laborious and lucrative office of " packer and guager," at one of the Irish ports ; and Miss HUTCHINSON, daughter of the then Provost of Trinity College—and, as the old song hath it, " a blood rela tion to my Lord Donoughmore "—once obtained a troop of Dragoons, and actually performed regi mental duty, until a suitable purchaser could be found. It was, therefore, by no means astonishing that the Marquis of WELLESLEY should in these good old times have secured for himself the office of Chief Remembrancer of the Court of Exchequer, the duties of which office he discharged by deputy, not fur- getting, however, to take all the fees he could pos sibly scrape thereout. It was subsequently thought desirable to get rid of the Marquis, and to appoint in his place a really working man who should discharge, in person, the duties of the office. It also seemede expedient to convert the appointments of the deputies in the several departments of the Remembrancer's office, who had previously been subordinates, into distinct and independent offices, to be granted thence forth by letters patent to the holders for life. The precious effects of this arrangement will be hereafter seen. When it took effect, the Marquis of WELLESLEY retired from office with a pension of between 4,0001. and 5,0001. per annum, which he enjoyed until his death, and Mr. BLAxs succeeded him, with a salary of 3,0001. In this office (so long as he attended to it exclusively) he was efficient and useful, and gave the greatest satisfaction to the suitors of the court. But his tastes had become rather official than legal (pos sibly be had enough of the drudgery of law while a working barrister) ; by degrees he availed himself of the opportunities afforded by various Acts of Par liament, and undertook the discharge of duties bearing little affinity to the office of Chief Remembrancer— which is a ministerial legal office at the equity and revenue side of the court. The new engagements of the Chief Remembrancer's time subsequently rendered necessary the recon struction of an office that had grown into a sinecure— that of the Lord Treasurer's Remembrancer. A " Second Remembrancer" was accordingly appointed, with a salary of 1,500/. per at.nuin, which has since been reduced to 1,0001. Experience has proved that all these changes were bad, although it must be ad mitted that some change on the old system was essential. A Commission had been appointed previously to the passing of the Act to which we have alluded, which strongly recommended the abolition of " pay ment by fees," and the substitution of fixed salaries on a reduced scale—too reduced, indeed, considering the then business of the court, which was crowded during the period that Chief Baron O'GRADY (after wards Viscount GulLLAmoue) presided there. It was emphatically the equity court for the southern counties. The recommendations of the Commissioners of Inquiry were disregarded. Pay ment of the several officers—and that on a superb scale—was continued by the•new Act, and the con equence was, that offices for which salaries of 500/., 800/., or 1,0004 a year were thought sufficient by the Commissioners, grew into places of enormous magnitude on account of the prodigious quantity of business in the court. It has been calculated that if the recommendations of the Commissioners had been fairly carried out, the business that now costs the country nearly FOURTEEN THOUSAND POUNDS PER ANNUM could have been as efficiently transacted for Three Thousand Pounds a year, or little over. 11( ar this, financial reformers Let the fact be borne in mind by Messrs. HUME and COBDEN, and MAC GREGOR, when exposing the jobbing that has pre vailed in the public offices. What an agglo meration of sinecures —of sinecures, we say, for the equity business has been greatly reduced, if not practically annihilated. Indeed, it could not be otherwise, for so great is the accumulation of business at the Pleas side of this, the most popular of all the common law courts, that much time could not be devoted to its discharge if it were required. It was said that the last Government had resolved upon sweeping away all the useless offices in the equity branch, as they had previously► done at the law side, and thus getting rid of the iniquitous system of fees, and putting for ever on the shelf the glaring sinecures that so long as they are permitted to exist afford an example for imitation, and infuse discontent and dissatisfaction among the people. Why the in tended plan for the abolition of fees and sinecures in this court has been given up we are unable to say►, but most sincerely do we hope that some sturdy financial reformer will inquire into the matter, and bring it prominently forward during the forth coming session. There is really no excuse for a con tinuance of these abuses. We do not of course object to the proper and adequate payment of all persons in situations of trust required for the public interests, whose condition no one of true sense or practical economy would desire to deteriorate. Such persons should ever receive fair and adequate remuneration for their services. It is not against the real working men, but the useless drones, that the pruning-knife should be applied. It is not, however, to the Castle clique that we can look for substantial reforms. There has hitherto been a backstairs' influence at all times working in one part or another of that edifice, to effect some paltry scheming that interferes with real im provements. Beneficial changes must emanate from a really disinterested quarter. Lord CLARENDON has exhibited much wisdom and firmness in the discharge of his important duties, and if he should neutralize these malign influences, he will have rendered good knightly service to the community. _ _ _ We should not conclude this notice without bear ing our testimony to the personal efficiency of the several officers of the Equity Exchequer, who are all well qualified to discharge their duties—if there were really any—and who really do well whatever they may have to do. It is not against them, but against the aystem, that we have offered these observations. There is one gentleman especially who, without seeking to draw an invidious exception, is an inva luable public servant. We allude to the respected register of the court, on whom devolves much of the court business, and who discharges his duties with a skill, impartiality, kindness, and good nature, that are highly satisfactory to the Baron, to the Bar, and what is not less important, to the public at large. He has, indeed, won golden opinions from all classes since he first undertook the duties of the office. They are tempting the thunderbolt! Yesterday we said this when speaking of the latest conspiracies of the reactionaries, those conspiracies which are tending towards the immediate dissolution of the National Assembly; and the thought has since re curred to us that France may now comprehend in all its bitterness the folly of her ingratitude to LAMAR. TINE. For it cannot be forgotten that that great man was, to use his own beautiful and expressive definition, the lightning conductor that raised its head towards the thunder-clouds of the Revolution to carry off the electric fluid of the factions who were conspiring the destruction of the Republic. The lightning conductor has been thrown down, and France must abide the issue of her rashness and her ingratitude. The real difficulty which embarasses the au thority of the President BONAPARTE, is this, that his Government has not yet effected a cordial and visible coalition with the Republicans of February. The only link connecting them together is discernible in the person of M. ARMAND MARRAST, the distin guished President of the National Assembly; and that bond of union is considerably lessened in its value from the circumstance of its being to a great extent of a strictly fortuitous character. It is a singular fact that the man who has now, under the Prince Louis NAPOLEON, the supreme direction of affairs, is the only man who, on the convocation of the Assembly on the 4th of May, 1848, when the nine hundred representatives rose with a simultaneous shout of Vive la Republique ! retained his seat, and was at last only induced to join his colleagues with an air of sullen and ungraceful reluctance. It is a fact not undeserving of consideration. And, in addition to this, it may not be unwise bear in mind that M. ODILON BARROT was not only the latest and most unwilling convert to Republican principles, but that he was the statesman who, with M. ADOLPHE THIERS, last attempted to patch together the rotten fragments of the Monarchical system under Louis PHILIPPE, and when that was found to be altogether imprac ticable, endeavoured to foist upon the nation the wretched mockery of a Regency. That the man of the veille should abstain, in the first instance at least, from co-operating with an Administrator of such a Very dubious and unsubstantial reputation, is by no means surprising—particularly when we reflect that M. ODILO N BARROT must be regarded as an isolated politician lagging in the rear of the rear guard of th e men of the lendenzain. In this respect he bears a resemblance to that blessed infant jppertaining to the house of A. T ETTERBY and Co., ho was always car r i e d i n all on one side, " and, in - ~riably, too late! M. ODILON BARROT is the very v loLocu of the Revolution. Of late it has been rumoured that the President of thP. Council, painfully impressed with a sense of the armmaly and instability of his position, aspires to be elected to the office of Vice-President of the Re public. The impudence of this has ab ou t i t some- .thing of the sublime. We shall next hear of Dlr. MITH hims eN f—SMITH of Claremont, formerly known . as KING of the FRENCH, " man without whiskers," as Cousin FEENIX would term him— putting himself forward as a candidate. We wish he would. The joke would then be complete. Diorr BOURCICAULT may as well try his ingenious hand at a dramatic companion to his first and wittiest comedy. He is welcome to the suggestion. Paris Assurance would " tell" admirably at the little theatre in the Hay market. Fancy M. ODILON BARROT " hit off" to a T in a new version of Mr. DAZZLE! And M. TITTERS metamorphosed into little DOLLY SPANKER ! Ridi culous as the theatrical representation would be if undertaken by CHARLES MATHEWS and KEELEY, it would be as nothing, absolutely as nothing, when contrasted with the political farce now being actually performed to crowded houses in the French capital. " Her MAJESTY'S servants" would find rather serious rivals in the leaders of the counter-revolution at Paris. They would " take" better, too, we fancy than the unfortunate ladies and gentlemen of the Thbatre Historique, who endeavoured last year in Drury-lane to portray the characters of Monte Christ° to the lieges of Queen VICTORIA. Coupled with the name of M. ODILON BARROT as candidates for the Vice-Presidency of the French Republic, we find, in the rumours which have been of late prevalent, the names of M. DUFAURE and M. DE LAMARTINE. There is a distinctness in the policy represented by the two latter which is sadly wanting in the former. We take them as the three degrees of comparison in'regard to Republican loyalty ; and as such they will no doubt be viewed by the majority of the National Assembly. Were M. DE LAMARTINE installed as Vice-President under the Presidency of the Prince LOUIS NAPOLEON, with General CAVAIG NAC in the 'War Department of the Administration, or at the head of the Government of Algeria, with M. ARMAND MARRAST reconfirmed in his post as President of the Assembly, with Marshal BUGEAUD still Commander-in-Chief under the Alps, with General CHANGARNIER still at the head of the Na tional Guard, with M. BASTIDE as Minister for Fo reign Affairs, M. MARIE as Minister of Justice, M. GARNIER PAGES of Finance, M. CARNOT, of Public Instruction, M. ARAGO, of Public Works, M. Bum, of Commerce—the Republic might then look forward to its permanent consolidation. As it is, the Government could scarcely be composed of more fugitive materials. It is idle to attempt to conceal the fact that the Ministry of M. ODILON BARROT is a mere makeshift. At the very moment of its crea tion it was infected with a corruption which inevit ably tends to decompose its elements. It is visibly crumbling down day by day. We shall soon hear of it 3 disappearance. Meanwhile it is manifest that the President BONAPARTE is acting in a manner worthy of himself, and with a circumspection worthy of his august and elevated rank. He abstains alto gether from mingling in the squabbles and recrimina tions of party. He is neither intimidated by conspi rators nor cajoled by sycophants. 'Whatever may be whispered about by the men who are solicitous to undermine his popularity, that popularity has suffered no diminution, and what is more it has not tempted its diminution by pro ceedings either rash or unpatriotic. If the National Assembly only closes its career with the dignified consistency which for eight months has been its principal characteristic, it will enable the Prince- PRESIDENT to succeed in the formation of a compact, majestic, and vigorous Government. And the readiest way to effect this will be by the repudiation of the preposterously impertinent pretensions of M. ODILON BARROT, and by the investiture of M. DE LAMAR TINE with the dignity and prerogatives of the Vice- Presidentship. When this much has been accom plished, we shall have no more gossipping about the planche Napoleonniene, and the National Assem bly may then consent with grace to its instant dis solution, confident in the respect of the present generation, and in the grateful admiration of pos terity. 1 1 11 E FRENCH REPUBLIC. LOUIS NAPOLEON BONAPARTE, the President of the French Republic is, it is said, about to do an act which will, whatever may be his ultimate fate, for ever honourably distinguish his Government in the future annals of France : he is about to liberate ADD EL-FADER in conformity with the terms of the capitulation entered into with General LAMORICIERE and the Duc D'AUMALE, by the Arab Chief, and most foully and dishonourably violated by 1.1. GuizoT and LOUIS PHILIPPE. All honour to the PRESIDENT of the Republic. Never has the name of BONAPARTE been illustrated by a more chivalrous, high-minded, or a more honourable action. The Patric gives the following account of the din ner at the Elysee on Friday : The President of the Republic, wishing to put a stop to the rumours about a Ministerial modification, as sembled at a grand dinner, on Tuesday evening, all members of the Cabinet and of the bureau of the Assem bly. M. Louis Napoleon Bonaparte was dressed in black, and wore the grand cordon of the Legion of Honour. He seated the President of the Assembly on his right, and the President of the Council on his left. M. Leon Faucher, Minister of the Interior, faced the President of the Republic, having on his right General Bedeau, and on his left M. Goudchanx, the two first Vice-Presidents. Each member of the bureau wore the rosette of representative. The best harmony seemed to reign between the President of the Republic and the Ministers. After the dinner, the saloons, which have been recently decorated, were filled with ladies." We announced a few days since the arrival of General Duiroun, in Paris. The Agsernblie Nationale has the following as the object of his ♦isit : " The journey of General Dufour to Paris has been much spoken of in some diplomatic salons. Some per sons say teat the General has come to congratulate M. Louis Bonaparte on his recent elevation ; others, better informed, attach much greater importance to this jour ney. The Helvetic Directory, whose diplomatic agents are exceedingly well informed, have received certain in telligence that; from this time to spring serious military events will take place on its frontiers. Once that the campaign of Hungary is finished, all the forces of Aus tria and Germany are to be directed on Italy and Swit zerland, which Europe considers as the great hot-bed of insurrection ; the neutrality of Switzerland will be re spected, but the powers will impose a change in the spirit of the Diet and the Directory ; in a word, the Sonderbund and the old aristocracy of Berne will have the supreme direction of the Helvetic Government. It is not that the radical party, now masters of affairs, do not appear exceedingly submissive before Europe, to such a point as to disperse the refugees in the interior of Switzerland ; but that is not sufficient, and Germany will not lay down her arms until after a result has been obtained. Also, a very precise note from Prussia is spoken of, which claims, in virtue of the treaties of 1815, the principality of Neufchatel; a note strongly supported by Russia, which, it is known, has made herselt a severe guardian of these great European transactions. General Dufour therefore comes to Paris to learn what may be expected from France, in case of a resistance on the part of Swit zerland. Between this time and spring, several hypo theses may be realised.-1. The occupation of Tessino by the army of Radetzky ; 2. the invasion of Neufchatel and the German cantons by the army of the German Confederation. In that case, what will France do? That question is mixed up also with the probable war of the Austrians and the Piedmontese! It appears impossible that the Republic will leave the Germans masters of the pass of Suze and of the bridge of BilNe, and that might happen in the double hypothesis of a war of the Austro- Germans against Switzerland and Piedmont." The Liberte has the following on the subject of the " missing documents" relating to the .Boulogne affair : " If we are rightly informed, the documents, in vain applied for to the Procureur de la R6publique, may be easily found. They must have been taken from the Registry of the late Cour Royale, and transferred to the Court of Peers, where more or less of them must have been produced in the previous inquiries into the affair of Boulogne. If these documents have had the same fate as the other papers found at the Luxembourg, they will now be at the Ministry of the Interior, under seal. They must, in that case, have been comprised in the in ventory which was then drawn up." In the National Assembly yesterday the discus sion on the proposition of M. RATEAU for the disso lution of the Assembly on the 4th of March was commenced. The order of the day having been read, the PRESIDENT took occasion to observe that the only subject then before the house was as to whether the proposition should be taken into consideration. If it was resolved that it should be taken into considera tion, it would then be necessary that it be referred to the bureau, which should choose a committee to examine the proposition and report. M. DE SXZE commenced the debate, by establish ing that the proposition of M. RATEAU was legal and constitutional. He then endeavoured to show that the decree of the 11th of December, which fixes the number of the organic laws at ten, could be revised by another decree, without any violation of the Con stitution, or without any neglect on the part of the members of their mandate. He then attacked the report of M. GREVT in detail, during which he was frequently interrupted by the murmurs of the Mon tagnards. These murmurs increased when the speaker endeavoured to prove that the mandate of tt.e representatives had been fulfilled, and that the Constituent Assembly had completed its labours. He concluded by declaring that he would vote for M. ItATEAu's motion. • - - - • •ap Zcst k . e A... 0- 7 - ) ..

THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 13, 1849, M. PIERRE BONAPARTE then mounted the tribune, and was left speaking. It is said that M. LAMARTINE intends speaking in favour of the motion of M. RATEAU. The President has determined that the list of can didates for the Vice-Presidency shall be MM. Odilon Barrot, Abbatucci, and Bonlay de la Meurthe. N. Odilon Barrot will undoubtedly be chosen by the Assembly. Dufanre, it is said, will succeed M. Odilon Barrot as Minister of Justice. M. de Remusat refuses to join any Cabinet of which MM. Mole and Thiers are not members. The Evenement announces that M. Die LAMARTINE dined, on Thursday, with Marshal BUGEAUD, a cir cumstance, it says, of a favourable omen for the re conciliation of parties. The National Assembly decided on Thursday evening that the import duty on foreign salt in French vessels, from the Ist of February, should be lf. 75c. the 100 kilogrammes ; and in foreign vessels, 2f. 25c. The Courrier de Lyon announces that the extra duties on silks, imposed by the Germanic Customs Union, as a reprisal for the premiums granted by the French government upon the exportation of those manufactures, were taken off on the Ist, on which day the premiums ceased.

The debate on the Address had not concluded in the Chamber of Deputies. Letters from Catalonia seem to confirm the report of the QUEEN'S troops, with great slaughter, ntemolinists, under CABRERA. c A naE Rdefeat sby o said the f \it the o have taken 600 prisoners and a quantity of muskets, stores, and baggage. He is at present in the neighbourhood of Gerona. ESTARTETS is organizing a fourth battalion. He has already armed and equipped 600 men. It appears, by the Barcelona Fomento of the Ist, that General CONCHA left Vich on the 30th ult., at noon, for Roda and Manlleu, which are to be fortified. He took with him the 9th battalion of Cazadores, and a battalion of Queen's Grenadiers, besides cavalry, local forces, as Catalan police, &c. Vich has been ordered to he placed in a state of complete defence. The infantry barracks and town-hall are to he forti fied, and all the gates closed up except the Barcelona and Manlleu one. Brigadiers MANzANo and ENRIQUEZ arrived at Manresa on the 29th ult. with their columns. General CONCHA was daily expected there according to a letter of the 30th. _ _ _ Colonel QUESADA succeeded, it is said, in surprising a C arlist band under T OR RES, at Valls, and took 38 prisoners, among whom was TORRES himself. Since the above was written we have received journals of the Bth. The _Address in reply to the QUEEN'S Speech was adopted in the Chamber of Deputies on the sth by a majority of 147 to 40. The report that General CONCHA would be superseded in the command of Ca talonia by General VILLALONGA was unfounded.

The 11th contains an ac count of the position of the Imperial troops around Pesth and Ofen, and the 12th, the surrender of those important place 3, which has been several times anti cipated by private reports, but is now officially con firmed. The following is the 11th army bulletin : The head-quarters of Prince WINDISCHGRATZ were On the 4th of January at Bia, three leagues from °fen ; the Ist corps d'armee wasstationed at Teteney and Promontor, the second at Badaors and the imme diate vicinity, and the 3d at Bia and Koycurreng. While the Ist corps d'armee was approaching from Marton Vascar to Teteney, the 3d towards the south of the Ban had an engagement with the enemy's, the latter having abandoned some batteries upon the heights, and opened a fire at a great dis tance. This fire was answered with great briskness by the first army corps, on its first approach; and the Commandant immediately made the division Ilartlieb to ascend to the left, and thereby threatened the rear guard of the apponent. This was the more effectual, as the second army corps at Bia had sent a cavalry brigade to the right, whereby it was the more probable that the enemy would be drawn off from Ofen. The Magyars, whose forces were very superior to those of the BAN'S, fell back rapidly upon Pro mentor, which they evacuated to-day, and occupied the heights of Ofen. Yesterday a deputation of the Hungarian Diet arrived at Bisske ; it consisted of the former Presi cent, Count Louls BATnYANY, the Bishop LoNovlTs, Count MAILATu, and the ex-Minister DEAL The deputies were not received as such, and Count BATHYANY was not admitted. The deputation was informed very laconically that there could be no question except of unconditional surrender, and that every other condition was entirely out of the question. On the list of December Major-General GOTZ began to act on the offensive from Jablunka, occupied the Czasa with his main column, and the village of Thurssowka with another column under Captain SCHEWITZ. On the Ist of January the two columns approached Neustadte, which had been evacuated by and Silein to defend the pass of Brodna, and the across the Waag. the enemy who had taken up passage his position at Budath, On the 2nd of January the column of General Gum attacked the rebels. They consisted of three battalions of llanved, 1,000 National Guardists, 14 pieces of artillery, and a divi sion of Honved cavalry. By circumventing them in the rear, and attacking his right flank, the enemy, after an engagement which lasted several hours, and in which two cannons were dismounted, re treatedof Turoczeo, that not much booty was taken. ~ I "Intelligence l i rapidly gence across from r the an Wg g into the country e so vaaa gives a favourable account of the operations of the troops in the Banat, in the district of the Lower Danube. Colonel Baron WERNHARDT informs the Military Council at Ternes war, that on the 24th of December, he attacked in Mla.te Wallachian, Bogsan, and --NHOWESKY and RAXSE, RAE, and atter an engagement of several hours, in R person esohi t z D , en by tsch dap B ta o i g n s s an D , 1A which six pieces of artillery, and six complete carriages were taken, took these strongly garrisoned places from MAYER L OF ER has taken theth e command enemy Co of Colonel SUPPLICATZ, at Pancsova, and with 2 0,000 m en , among whom are several thousand S .lon th el e Servians, Who are ready to act on the offensive. OF PESTH. The WINDISCHGRATZ is as follows :—" His Highness Field-Marshal Prince WINDISCHO RATE, on the 12th SU army ß llE bu N ll p et E in R of P rince sth of this month, at noon, entered the cities of Ofen and Pestb, without striking a blow, at the head of the Imperial troops." Further particulars will be transmitted without delay. THB DEATH OF GENERAL SUPPLICATZ.—The death of General SUPPLICATZ, who has only just been appointed Woiwoile, Lieutenant, Field-Mar shal, and Privy C ounse ll or, was very sudden. While engaged in conversation, h e was attacked with violent spasms, and was with difficulty conveyed to the nearest hut at P anesova, w h ere he expired in a few moments. OLMUTZ, JAN. 3.—P r i n ce PAUL ESTERHAZY, who had been k e pt pr i soner at h i s pa l ac e of Eisenstadt by KossuTu's p arty, has ,been set a t liberty in conse quencetroop in of th e v i ctor i ous progre ss of the imperial most importa n t d uty i mme di ate ly to repair with his son Hunga r y. H e con sidered it his first and NlcuoLas to Olmutz to pay hi s homage to his Majesty , the EMPERO R . C ount SZECSERRY, who has also re ceived his lib er t y, i n consequen ce of the late victories, has also come hith er f or a s i m ilar purpose. The Imperial Ambassador at the Hague, Count MoEiTz EST ERHAZT, h as a l so arrived here. It is said that th e very honourable and at this time highly important missi on to Gaeta, is to be confided to him. Baron "N H ANDEL , Counsellor of Legation to the Embassy a t B erl i n, i s a l so here, and will, it is said, repair as Envoy to Stuttgard. German Papers. KOSSUTH and his army left Pesth before its sur render. They eff ec t e d th e ir retreat in good order to Debreezin, where they effected a junction with the army of General BEM. KOSSUTH took with him the regal insignia of St. STEPHEN, the Hungarian KING. A recent ordinance of the Emperor of AUSTRIA suppresses the privilege of exemption from the law s of recruitin g h ereto f ore en j oye d by the nubility. On the 3d the Austrian Diet definitively adopted the Bill for enabling the Government to raise a loan of eighty million florins. In the sitting of the 4th the Minister of the Interior protested against the first paragraph of the Bill on Fundamental Rights, by which it is declared that "all powers of the State emanate from the people." It was, he said, an en croachment on the monarchical principle, which had never been, and ought not to be, called in question in Austria. The Diet, in consequence of the gravity of the subject, adjourned the debate to the Sth. The Limburg Journal says that Holland will join Austria in refu3ing to form part of the new German Empire, if it be required to sacrifice its sovereignty over the German portion of its dominions. PRUSSIA. Advices have been received from Berlin to the 9th. The state of siege will not be terminated until after the elections. There had been a sudden increase in the number of cholera cases at Breslau, the increase being in pro portion to the intensity of the cold ; 165 persons had died in the past week. BELGIUM. BRUSSELS, JAN. 11.—The Belgium papers state that several questions are to be discussed at the Con gress, which it was not originally intended to bring forward. Independently of the settlement of the Lombardy Venetian affairs, the state of Rome and the position of the Papacy occupy a foremost place. Several of the Powers are said to be already agreed upon one point, namely, that the maintenance of the temporal power of the POPE is indispensable to the peace, the honour, and the dignity of the Christian world. Pius IX. is to be represented at Brussels by a Legate a latere. A splendid Burgherwehr feast has just taken place at Antwerp, which quite recals the magnificence of the ancient days of chivalrous grandeur. Nearly all the Burgherwehr of the Kingdom was present at it. FRANKFORT. At the sitting of the German Parliament on the 3d, the Minister of Justice laid before the llouse all the documents relating to the execution of ROBERT BLUM. Ordered to be referred to Committee. The report of the Committee on the Austrian question, that is to say, on the programme of the central Ministry, was brought up and read. The proposition of the majority of the Committee is to the effect that the National Assembly support Minis ters in their rejection of the demand, on the part of Austria, that the future Constitution of Germany shall be made the subject of an agree ment between Austria and Germany. The majority of the committee also propose to request Ministers to carry on negotiations respecting the relations of the non-German provinces of Austria with the German Confederate State. The proposition of the minority is simply to bestow on the Central Ministry the full powers demanded in the programme of the 18th of December, modified by the proposition of the sth inst. The debate, it was expected, would be com menced on the 9th. The German Parliament, in their sitting of the Bth, decreed the abolition of public gaming places in all the German States from Ist May next. GOTHA. On the 30th ult. a conflict took place in the streets of Gotha, between the citizens and the sol diers of the garrison, whom the citizens wished to be withdrawn from the city. The Commandant of the Burgher Guard, therefore, called out his men, and the• conflict ceased. The troops and the people remained for a time in face of each other; but at length the soldiers retired to their barracks without taking any notice of the insults with which they were loaded. A reinforcement of two companies was sent for to Darmstadt. It is said that the Go vernment has in its hands convincing proofs of an intention of making a manifestation against the Diet a: soon as the garrison had quitted the town. The authorities have issued a proclamation to the inha bitants, desiring them to avoid all further collision. The soldiers wi:en on duty have their muskets loaded, and are ordered to fire upon whoever may attack them. SWITZERLAND. The differences between Marshal RADETZKY and the authorities of the canton of Tessin still con tinue. RADETZKY has addressed to them two dis patches, in which he complains loudly that the decree of the Federal Assembly, relative to the removal of the Italian refugees, has received only a partial exe cution, on account of the permanent pretence in Tessin of the most dangerous of the revolutionary chiefs, MAzzim, of the continuation of the trade in arms introduced into Lombardy by smugglers, of the propagation of seditious printings and voitings, &c., &c. The Marshal ends by declaring, that so long as his just complaints shall be unattended to, far from renewing his relations with Tessin, he will establish a most vigorous blockade on all the frontier of southern Switzerland. The Tessinese Government, thus compelled to ex plain itself as to what foundation there was for the complaints of the Marshal, began by ordering the ar rest of MAzzixi in case he were really in their terri tory, for all the steps heretofore taken to discover his retreat had proved abortive. As to what concerns the sale and introduction of arms into Lombardy, the Tessinese Government replies by a formal denial, but it has taken measures to prevent the circulation of pamphlets, &c., provoking to insurrection. HOLLAND. AMSTERDAM, JAN. 9.—lt appears from the com parative state of the importations and exportations of merchandise by the, Rhine, that the exports from Amsterdam for the various Rhenish ports, which amounted in 1847 to 2,056,132 cwts. fell in 1848 to 221,592 cwts. The imports were 566,998 cwts. in 1848, whereas in 1847 they were 787,530. This is a considerable decline both in the import and export trade. ILLNESS OF THE PRINCE OF ORANGE.—JAN. 10. —A report has been circulated during the last few days that the Prince of ORANGE has been struck with an aberration of mind. Certain French newspapers have even added, that in consequence of this catas trophe there was a question of transmitting the here ditary rights of the Crown to the son of his Royal Highness. This unfounded report we must most positively contradict. It is true that the Prince of ORANGE has been indisposed, but his indisposition had nothing whatever of a serious character it was, indeed, so slight that nothing whatever was thought of it here. There was a grand Court dinner yesterday, to which Count LADISLAUS KAROLYE, major in the service of the Archduke JOHN of Austria, was, for the first time, invited. The KING continues to be engaged in almost daily Cabinet Councils with his Ministers, and they are usually of long duration. On the Bth there was an evening Council from seven to twelve. ROTTERDAM, JAN 9. THE CHOLERA.—We are glad to be able to give a favourable report of the health of the city. The cholera, it is true, has not altogether disappeared; yesterday, however, only two fresh cases occurred, and one death. At Dordrecht there was only one case, and one recovered. In some localities it has entirely disappeared. —Dutch Papers, Jan. 10. ITALY• As BEVILAOQUA. has not succeeded in obtaining an audience of the POPE at Gaeta, he has determined not to act in the Governmental Commission nomi nated by the POPE. General ZuccNl is, it is said, gone to Switzerland, declaring that he will no longer serve the PONTIFF. The same resolution is said to have been adopted by M. Ricci, of Macerata. A Committee has been appointed to prepare a popular catechism to instruct the people as to their duty in the elections for the constituante, which is to be taught the people by members selQcted from the clubs. The Alba, of Florence, under date of Fer rara, the Ist inst., says that, by a recent order of the Austrian Etat-Major, all persons are prohibited from passing the Po, with the exception of the establish ments of St. Magdalen and Polesella. The same journal states from Naples, that the Bishop of SAVONA had arrived at Gaeta, charged with' a special mission to the POPE, by the Piedmontese Government. We read in the Costituente Italian of Florence, of the 4th, that on the 2d General FILANGIERI set out for Gaeta on board the Capri. He has given orders, also, for a steamer to be kept in readiness to take him to Messina, where hostilities have commenced, the Sicilians having been the first to attack the Nea politan army. King CHARLES ALBERT has issued a royal ordon nance, dated January 5, adjourning the elections from the 15th to the 22d, and fixing the Ist of February for the meeting of Parliament. He has appointed Count BORROMEO Sardinian Minister to the French Republic. The Piedmontese Gazette of the 6th states, from Modena, Ist instant, that on the day before, the men of the light cavalry regiment paraded the town in patrols, and without provocation fired some shots, wounding a poor Jew, named MODENA, in the leg, while on his way to the post• office, and committing other acts of ferocity, upon which the Civic Guard immediately assembled, and pa trolled the city, to prevent collisions. The Aus trian commander went to the staff of the Civic Guard, and declared he highly disapproved of the conduct of his cavalry, who had acted thus without his knowledge. In the evening the municipality as sembled, and after a long discussion decided that they should retire en masse, as well as all the officers of the Civic Guard. Advices from Fivizzano of the Ist say that that place has within five or six days assumed the asp' ct of a place of war. Five hundred troops and a bat tery of artillery had arrived. A letter from Mantua of the 31st says :_t , Within five days our frontier will be completely aimed for war." _ The Milan Gazette says that the Austrian Go vernment has resolved to convoke a diet of Lombardo- Venetian deputies at Vienna. JENNY LIND.—The sum realised for the Southern and Toxteth Hospital, Liverpool, by the Lind Concert, an Saturday last, was 1,500/. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool this week has been rather less active, and prices have receded about id. per lb. in some cases. This is not an unfavourable feature in some respects, because it arises chiefly from a tempo rary discontinuance of speculation which was running up prices too fast for the manufacturers. Yesterday the sales were 5,000 bales. Railway Shares at Liverpool were not quite so high yesterday, less activity prevailing. The Bank of England return for the week to the 6th inst. is generally viewed as of a favourable complexion, but the banking business of the Corporation had not re ceived any extension, probably on account of the cheap ness of money out of doors. The sum of the precious metals was again larger. As regards the other changes, ascertained by a comparison with the preceding week, they are not material, and follow the course usual at the close of the official quarter:— Notes lisue d Increase Rest 28,234,740 ... ... 8,145 ... 3,400,715 Increase ... 17,915 Public Deposits ... ... 8,419,045 Decrease ... ... 179,073 Other l)eposits 8,814,702 Decrease ... 56,733 Seven Day and other Bills 1,012,717 Increase 40,605 Government Securities ... 13,599,597 Increase ... ... ... 5,079 Other Securities ... 10;825,470 Decrease ... ... 132,463 Notes ... ... 10,985,050 Decrease 111,910 Bullion ... ... 15,024,802 Decrease ... ... ... 70,153 Active Circulation ... ... 17,249,690 Increase ... ... ... 120,055 Most parties are satisfied, after a term of prolonged dullness, with the business done this week in the general produce markets, the extent thereof having been con siderable, and in the case of Sugar, Coffee, and many other staples, at improved values. Cotton, however, as at Liverpool, has bee❑ rather duller, having had a good " spirt" lately, and tallow has been heavy of sale. In digo and tea sales will be held next week, and wool in about a fortnight. The quantity of silver sent from London this week has been about 12,000 ounces. The Stock Market has risen again, the arrangements for the settlement next Tuesday appearing to indicate a Bearish account. Consols have been 89i t, having opened at 894. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 898 to 904, and the Three per Cents. 898 to A-. Exchequer-bills have been 40s. to 435. pre mium, and India Bonds 455. premium.
