Another change has startled Paris from the apathy of exhaustion—reminding France of the general instability of her government. LOUIS NAPOLEON, the elected of the 10th of December, having for nearly twelve months occupied the palace of the Elys4.i as President, has summarily dismissed his Cabinet- And whatever may be thought of the abruptness of this measure, it is undeniable that the conduct of the PRESIDENT evinces extraordinary boldness, immense self-confidence, and a determination at all hazards to encounter with an unquailing front the dangers of iii very remarkable position. There is a daring in the 4 4 'hole movement which arrests attention, a candour which commands respect, and a reiterated assurance of regara for the Constitution, which is beyond all possibility of contradiction. " I wish,'' says the Chieftain in his very able manifesto, " I wish to he worthy of the confidence of the nation by kintaining that Constitution to which I have sworn allegiance—en maintenant lu constitution 9ue j'ai juree." It is insinuated by those who, hating the Revolution, are anxious in every way to embarrass the authority which has emanated from it, that in his present proceeding the PRESIDENT has violated the very Constitution, which he here again pretends conserve. For ourselves, we must acknowledge that, viewing with the utmost jealousy the occurrence which has just startled a certain class of politicians, we fail to recognise in it any rupture of the moral bond binding Louis NAPOLEON down to the conser vution of the Constitution. True, the event is the di missal of his Ministry ; and true that that Ministry bad up to almost the last hour of its existence carried its measures by considerable ma jorities through the Legislative Assembly, through the Assembly of national representatives. Yet recognising these indubitable facts, we can see nothing whatever which can be termed arbitrary or unconsti- t utional in the proceeding of the French PRESIDENT. Had LOUIS;NAPOLEON peremptorily dismissed a Go vernment possessing the confidence of the nation we should certainly have been amongst the first to stig.- matiae the act as an act of private ambition, as an act of treason to the Constitution. As it is, we maintain, and have maintained now for some time, that the late Cabinet was not only without the con fidence of the eeple, but without the confidence even of the pop fair representatives. It was a Ca binet of shulling and inconsistency. It was a Ca binet of duplicity and recalcitration. Composed of the most incongruous and heteroge neous elements, it was perpetually and, of late, rather alarmingly and perilously falling into all sorts of dilemmas and contradictions. To be brief— what the people shrank from accomplishing by a resort to the streets and the barricades, what the Legislative Assembly was afraid of attempting through an uncer tainty as to the consequences, has been boldly achieved by Louts NAPOLEON, the President. Honest men there unquestionably were in the late Cabinet, hut with them were mingled other statesmen whose political probity was becoming every day more awl more dubitable. Glaring lies and intolerable reservations" were the ordinary arguments employed by them indtscusitons itth their antagonists. They set at defiance most of the more deeply• cherished wishes of the country, and were tolerated by a hesi t-Iting Assembly solely from the disinclination of the latter to produce anything like an abrupt catastrophe. The wishes of the nation, the hopes of the popular representatives, th• intentions of the PRESIDENT were in this manner frustrated. Hence the latter remarks with indisputable truth, " Instead of effecting a fusion of different shades of opinion, I have only obtained a neutralisation of forces— Au lieu d aperer une fusion de nuances je n'ai obtenu qu' Me neutralization de forces." Tired out:with these in effectual efforts at amalgamation, disappointed in his aspirations, the PRESIDENT of the French Republic, the chosen of the 10th of December, the man elected by more than six millions of votes, the chieftain em powered by the nation to select the members of the Government, employs the authority reposed in his hands by dismissing a Ministry which was antago nistic within itself, which reigned over the Assem bly simply upon sufferance, and which was day by dly falling lower and lower in the estimation of the country. Ultra-Republicans and Ultra-Legitimatists must ledge the truth - very modttstl Y r e luctantly aeknow confess6l in his mani festo b y the PRESID ENT of the Republic —the tru th that he was elected solely through th- ir:flaence of th? name of NAponnoN. "An entire says he " triuinphed oa the 10th of De cember, for the name or NAPOLEON 13 in itself a programme—meaning; for the interior, order, autho rity, religion, public felicity ; for the ex tol i,r, National dignity." Taking such as the syllabus of his policy of government, and pledging, Eimielf to the maintenance of the Republican Coustitut-i,,n, Lours NAPOLEON has manfully taken the initiative in the work of Ministerial re-organi zation. That the Cabinet already nominated is merely a temporary "make shift" must he sufficiently manifest from the political mediocrity of ids members. General THE SUIN-, D'HAUTTOUL, though an able soldier, requires force of character for the conduct of the War Department; i\i. ACFIILLE FOULD, though rich, and accustomed to the management of accounts, requires the inventive resources essential in a Finance Ministcr. M. DI: aItIEU, though a fluent and agreeable rhetorician, has yet to prove himself a statesman. RAYNLVAL for Foreign Affairs, Dumas for Commerce, DESFOSSE3 for Marine, ROIIIIER for Justice, and FERDINAND BARROT for the Home Department, are altogether too respectably insignificant to survive long as mem bers of an Administration. The PRESIDENT must give very speedily the surest evidences of his sin cerity by the nomination of a Cabinet more capable of directing the destinies of the country, and of se curing the confidence of the population. His mani festo of Wednesday is a bold stroke—let him prove by his subsequent acts that it is an effort towards the consolidation, not the disruption of the Republican institutions. The llonourable Member for Buckinghamshire was " at Home" on Wednesday, surrounded by friendly and familiar faces, addressing not merely his own constituents but his most strenuous and un- flinching supporters. In an association of his own foundation, established for the purpose of sustaining his own peculiar views, it is by no means surprising that the Honourable Gentleman should give free reins to his fancy and ride his hobby with more than ordinary satisfaction and effect. There was no ap pearance of mutiny or insubordination. No Sir GEORGE ROBINSON or . Lord BRAYBROOKE WAS at hand to question his infallibility, to doubt the efficacy of his suggestions, or to damp the enthusiasm of the meeting, by inquiring into the feasibility of carrying his propositions into execution. His great oratorical display was not, however, intended merely for the instruction of the assembled auditors. The new Protectionist policy was clearly and distinctly developed ; it contained a full programme for the future guidance of the party, to be maturely considered and thoroughly digested before the opening of the Parliamentary campaign, As their acknowledged leader he explained his views and objects, and exhibited his plans for carrying on the war ; and showed that he expected from his subordinates full and implicit obedience to his orders. Notwithstanding the propitious circumstances to which we have referred, ha manifestly felt the magnitude of his task. lie had to reconcile his own equitable opinions in favour of " equal taxation and cheap capital " with the peculiar requirements of his followers, and to conciliate their prejudices while he advanced their interests and promoted their perma nent welfare and prosperity. He could not directly stem the torrent or expose the folly of their long-cherished prejudices ; he bad therefore to guide the impetuous stream into other channels, where there might be at least a possibility of sur mounting the impediments and obstacles that might oppose its progress. It was a duty of no ordinary difficulty, but the accomplished orator was fully equal to the occasion, and never perhaps was he more brilliant or impressive—never had he bestowed greater care in the preparation of an address. There is now at least no mystery or concealment. Friends and foes; are alike enlightened—the former know what they have to contend for, and struggle to attain, the latter what they have to oppose. It can be seen whether any and what modifications of these demands are practicable, how far their claims are founded on justice or expedi ency, and whether they, or any of them, may be con ceded without injury to the interests of the commu nity in general. 'We may, therefore, calmly enter upon that investigation, and ascertain how far it may be practicable to enter into amicable relations with the agriculturists. Mr. DISRAELI expressly and unequivocally pro claims his allegiance to the pfinciple of "protection to agriculture." That is the great end and object of all his aspirations ; he also removes any ambiguity or doubt that might remain ; he gives a full defini 'ion of what he conceives to be implied in the term. He says:— " What I mean by protection is this—a system that will secure to the landed proprietor that position which the constitution has allotted to him, and which will permit him to remain the natural leader of the people ; a system which will make the cultivation of the soil the principal branch of the industry of the country, which wi!l make Agriculture nourish, and agriculture cannot flmrish un less the farmer and the labourer receive, the one re munerating prices, and the other ample and proper wa4es. I mean by protection' the main:envie° of the territorial constitution of the country, which cannot re main unless agriculture is the most flourishing pursuit cj England, just the same as I witl show you, before I have done, that agriculture cannot remain the most 11 ,urish ing industry of this country witnout the maiu:ainance of the territorial constitution." The Honourable Gentleman is at least candid and straightforward in the exposition of his views and feelings. It is not merely " equality "he seeks, or the removal of the peculiar burdens that press upon land. He will not be contented with anything less than agricultural supremacy. It is not sufficient that the landed interest should participate in the general pros perity of the entire nation. No ; " the cultivation of the soil" must be the principal branch of the industry of the country, and agriculture must be " the most flourishing pursuit of England." We now, at length, understand, from unquestionable authority, the true intent and purpose of the term " protection," and what the party who have adopted it as their principle of action and rallying cry really mean thereby. It is for the mercantile, manufac turing, and trading interests of this great commercial country—for the operatives and artizans throughout the length and breadth of the land, to say whether they would be satisfied with such a consummation, or be contented with an inferior and secondary position. The greatest man of modern times has described us as a " nation of shopkeepers:" It was by our trade and commerce that we were enabled to oppose his will, and finally to subvert his power. Had it not been for these, the Imperial Dynasty had still flourished on the throne of France. It was by means of these that a small island was enabled to maintain a prominent position among the nations of the earth, to plant her colonies in every quarter of the globe, so that the sun can never set on the dominions of the SOVEREIGN of Great Britain. But Mr. Disaa.sm would alter all that. We must no longer feel proud of that British enterprise which bears the products of our industry to all parts of the world. i‘ r e must relapse into the primitive state and become merely an agricultural nation, for that would be the inevitable result if "the cultivation of the soil were the principal branch of the industry of the country," and if agriculture were really " the most flourishing pursuit of England," and if what he is pleased to term the " territorial constitution" were fully established. Although, however, this ultimate object was thrown out to enliven the bucolic fancy and excite their imaginations, the Hon. Gentleman clearly perceives that it is useless to hope for such a result under the present constitution of Parliament. Ile admits that the establishment of "protection" is out of the ques tion just at present. He does not, however, take the gloomy view that so many of his colleagues have recently indulged ia, or counsel despair or apathy because the full extent of their views is not imme diately attainable. lie therefore recommends that they should direct all their energies to obtain a cer tain degree of relief, which he still believes to be within their reach, and for this purpose he suggests two points to which more especially they should turn their attention and apply their exertions. First. The local and peculiar burdens, that bear ex clusively upon real property, including poor-rates, county cess, and the various systems of taxation by which no less than 12,000.0001. sterling is raised in each and every year, is to be transferred to the Con solidated Fund, and provided for from the general taxation of the nation. Secondly. A bona fide sinking fund of .5,000,0001. per annum is to be established, by which the rate of interest on Government Securities would speedily be reduced to 2 per cent., and territorial lords of the soil could ob tain money on mortgage at a cheap rate, to pay off existing ineumbrances, and to be enabled to make advances landa dlibt and the libitum to adoption of improvedtheirtenany for the m he ode drainage s of their of culture. IVe shall not at present enter into any considera tion of the advantages .to be derived from these propositions. If they could be carried into practical operation, the owners and occupiers of every description of real property would undoubtedly derive considerable relief from LONDON*, FRIDAY EVENTING, the immediate and total abolition of imposts to the j : extent of 12,00,0001. sterling per ennum. It would co: many reasons be desirable to have a fund that -would have the effect, not only of making capi tal c.leap and interest low at prPs!2nt, but would er - 2ntuo,;ry liquidate the Natieml Debt, (Ind render England truly prosparcus and happy. But that auspicious period could not arrive until long after the present generation had passed away. Our children, and our children's children, would still struggle under an increased and more ponderous burden. No less than 17,000,000/. sterling would be obtained in addition to the present income of the country. And how is it proposed that a sum so enormous should be raised from an already overburdened and fainting people ? Simply by an "additional duty on fOreign imports, , in other words, by more than doubling the Customs' charges. Let those who witnessed the result of the experiment made in 1840, when an additional five per cent. was added to these duties, when, as Sir ROBERT PEEL declared, it was found that "taxation had almost reached its limits," proclaim how far it is possible to carry into practical operation a pro ject, the preliminary condition of which is that 17,000,000/. sterling, in addition to the present in come of the country, should be raised, by means of indirect taxation, and that restricted to the productions of other lands ! THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Patrie and the Moniteur du Soir give the fol lowing list of the new Ministry : General d'Hautpoul—War. M. de Rayneval—Foreign Affairs. M. Ferdinand Barrot—lnterior. M. Achille Fould—Finances. M. Parieu—Public Instruction. M. Rouher—Justice. Admiral Romain-Desfoss6s—Marine. M. Bineau—Public Works. M. Dumas (of the Institute)—Commerce and Agriculture. General D'HAUTPOUL is charged with the portfolio of Foreign Affairs ad interim. The new Ministers are all men of the majority, but they are not party men in the strict sense of the word, inasmuch as they are not the mere followers of MM. TRIERS, MOLE, DE FALLOUX,DUFAURE, or any other leaders. None of them, we believe, have ever before been members of any Cabinet. General D'lLturpota, is the nephew of the cele brated cavalry officer who so distinguished himself at Eylau. General D'HAUTPOUL was one of the favourites of the Duke of ANCOULEME, and was ap pointed to the administration in the War Depart ment in April,'.l 830, by Bouamori.r. He:remained:on half-pay for five years after the revolution of July, and then accepted service under Louis PHILIPPE, but he continued to hold Legitimatist opinions. M. ACHILLE FOULD is the celebrated banker and financier, who has sturdily opposed all attempts at the reduction of taxation. He possesses the entire con• fidence of the moneyed interest. M. PARIEU is an an advocate of Riom. He began life as a Legitimatist, but after Feb., 1848, professed himself to be an ardent Republican, and was returned to the Constituent Assembly for Centel. He spoke against the election of the President by universal suffrage and in favour of permitting substitutes in the army. M. ROUHER, also an advocate of Riom, was before February, 1848, a warm supporter of M. GUIZ3T. After that date he professed Republicanism, and was elected to represent Puy de Dome in the Constituent Assembly, where he supported the Ministry of General CAVAIGNAC, and exerted himself energetically to secure the election of the General to the Pre sidency. His the personal friend of AI. BARROT. AI. FERDINAND BARROT is the Private Secretary of the PRESIDENT and the brotl.er of M. ODILON BAUROT. M. BINEAU is an Engineer. He is a clever speaker. He at one time advccated the construction and working of all railroads by the State. M. DE RAYNEVAL is the well-known representa tive of the French Republic at the Court of Naples. Admiral RommN•Desrosses is nut much known in public life, but is spoken of as a man of abilities in his profession. M. DUMAS is the celebrated chemist and member of the Institute. The dismissal of the late Ministry came upon its members like a thunder-clap. On Wednes day they met in Council at the Elysee, (with the exception of M. ODILON BARROT, who is confined to his house by illness), and were soon joined by the PRESIDENT of the Republic. On seeing the PRESIDENT, M.DurApas remarked that it was neces sary to fill the office of Minister of Public Instruction, which had been vacated by M. DE PaeLoux. The PRESIDENT hesitated, and after some appearance of ember: assment he stated that some further change would be necessary, as the present Cabinet had been wanting in dignity. AI. DureueE took offence at the expression, and asked the PRESIDENT what he meant by want of dignity ; upon which the PRESIDENT replied that he (lid not refer to any of the Ministers personally; but that the Cabinet generally had been wanting in dig nity ; that it had been too subservient to the Conser vative majority in the Assembly; and that the Club of the Council of State was more the Government than the Cabinet itself, as it not only discussed and settled the policy the Government ss as to pursue, but actu ally determined who was and who was not to be Ministers.. Upon this explanation, Ai. DUPAURE announced to the PRINCE that he and the rest of the Cabinet only retained their portfolios till their suc cessors were appointed, and soon afterwards left the Palace. It is said thatduring the course of the discussion the PRESIDENT insisted much upon the responsibility which, according to the Constitution, devolved upon himself, and declared that for the future he should act as his own Prime Minister, and consider the subordinate Ministers merely as chiefs of departments. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs was offered in the first place to M. CASSIMIR PERIER and refused. It was also refused by M. FLAVIGNY, to whom it was subsequently offered. The parti-pretre journals and the organs of the Red Republicans are equally furious against the PRESIDENT. The Assemblee Nationale publishes an incitement to armed resistance in lan guage quite as strong as any that M. PROUDHON ever used, and for indulging in which he is now suffering imprisonment. The Assemblee Nationale thus ad dresses the PRESIDENT They see on the one hand General Lamoriciere or 11. Cavaignao charged by you with the command of the National Guard and the army, and on the other the National Assembly, thanks to the energy of its Presi dent and some influential members, stand on the 68th Article of the Constitution, by virtue whereof they maintain General Changarnier in his military command." Will the PRESIDENT prosecute these sacerdotal contemners of his authority, these priestly promoters of insurrection, after the same manner that he has prosecuted the Socialists ? His uncle would have done so undoubtedly. The Journal des Debats, which is supposed to speak the sentiments of Count MOLE, growls out its dissatisfaction after the following manner : "In the time of the constitutional monarchy it was held as en absolute principle that a Ministry placed in the condition of that presided over by M. Odilon Barrot was not to be shaken ; it was, therefore, very natural that those who sincerely believe that the Republican form ought to save France from personal government, and assure power for ever to majoriies returned by universal suffrage, must feel astonishment at least on learning the news of the day." It is curious to find the Debats, which in April last was preaching the doctrine of the subserviency of the Assembly to the elect of the 10th Dec., should thus suddenly change its note. The Debuts roncludes with the following sneer at what it calls the PRESIDENT'S coup de theatre:— • We confess that own astonishment is as great as that felt by every one else; but we are so accustomed, within the lust eighteen months, to extraordinary things, as to cease to feel alarm. Everything being new on this hardy adventure into which France allowed herself to be carried in 1848, we must not feel despair at each unexpected coup de theatre that turns up." The Constitutionnel publishes the Message and the list of the new Ministry, without a single word of comment. It is evident, therefore, that M. THIERS considers the PRESIDENT sufficiently strong to carry out his policy, and therefore the bourgeois TALLEY RAND fears to criminate himself. The National sees in the Presidential message a hold stroke for Empire. "Never," it says, "since the famous proclamations of Strasburgh and Boulogne has the Imperial idea been more openly or clearly proclaimed by the Pretender. There is nothing but menace for the Republic in this superb declaration, where the personality of M. BONAPARTE, disengaged from constitutional trammels, at.pears in full lustre. If energy of action might be mete-tired by boldness of spech, there would spring from this manifesto a de put to morrow." The National then advises the Republicans to wait until som coup Beta shall be attempted which would assuredly bring on reprisals ; " but," it continues, " there will be no necessity to have recourse to arms, and engage in a fight, always uncertain, always attended by useless bloodshed, to bring the guilty to reason ;" and it thus concludes : " Devoted to the Republic, full of respect for the con stitution, decided to wait from the pacific and regular play of our institutions, the triumph of our ideas, we shall reply to every attempt to injure our popular institutions, either in form or in substance by an im mediate refusal to pay taxes." The Reforme says : "The Government is then to represent more directly and more efficaciously the personal policy of the chosen one of the 10th of December. Personal policy! Such is the new phase at which we cuts r. What is this pulley to be? The Message describes i s expressly. This rze.grnneme is altoeether in the name, of Napokon. Every bed !mews whet this name signifies for the deeaceraey. All that is tidde.l. is het the ordicery comer:on-piece, which all p )wers employ alike. And what is to be the ceeeditioe of the reeliz vien of the prof-ere:nine? The manifesto tells au', too: it is the du-ability of power which contributes powerfully to the general stability. Is this condition referable to the imperfccaons (j . t is consti tution alluded to in the Message?" The Siecle, which is generally considered as the organ of M. DUFAURE and the tiers parti, supports the PRESIDENT. It says— " We received the Message of the President of the Republic as we have received the letter of the 18th August with sympathy, with reserve, with the ardent desire to see the acts of power become conformable with its words. Truly, if we had not been in the habit of looking to statesmen rather than to form, to action more than to principle, we might congratulate ourselves for the political line so closely traced out by the Presi dent of the Republic, as very nearly that which we our selves so perseveringly advocated. It is wise to wait to-day as on the 18 th August, the President of the Re public appears to seiv with a true inetinct the real necessities of our time—he appears to have broken, in fine with those old parties so fall of selfishness, and so little animated with the spirit of our new iustiturions. He sees that he has been used as a tool and an instrnment, and instead of being able to accomplish, as he desired, a fusion of interests, he has only arrived at a neutralism E . of forces." A supplement to the Moniteur was published yes terday officially declaring the dismissal of the ODILLON BARROT Cabinet, and the appointment of ti - eir successors. Paris was in a state of great ex citement during the whole of yesterday. The Moniteur contains the following:— " Several journals have given different venions of a collision of which the small colony of Nors-E6 has re cently been the theatre. The following are the official details which the Government has just received of this unfortunate affair. The abolition of slavery had caused groat irritation among the Sakalave proprietors residing at Nora-F6 Soon after the promulgation of the decree of emancipation they abandoned the French establi:h went and retired es masse to the main land of Mada gascar. The Commandant of Mazotte, hearing of this sudden emigration, went among these men, over whom he had somo influence. He could not succeed in bringing them back to our territory, but he at least thought that he had appeased their anger, as they all protested their pacific disposition. Captain Despointes, commanding the naval station of Reunion, who visited them some time after, received similar assu rances ; but after the sailing of the Reine Blanche their attitude soon changed. They commenced by making nocturnal incursions on our establishment, and then at tempted some acts of incendiarism; &ter which they assassinated two European dealers, MM. Labaville and Wilder. Captain Marchatese, of the Marines, who commanded in the island, apprehended that he should soon have to repel a serious attack, and concentrated his forces on the Plateau of Helleville, which he put in a state of defence. On the 16th of June he was informed that the Sakalaves had landed to the number of 4,000. H. , sent out a detachment to reconnoitre, composed of 100 Malgach militia, 20 Native infantry, and one corporal and one soldier (whites), under the command of Lieu tenant Cottey, of the Marines. This little force fell into an ambush, in the midst of the main body of the enemy. At the first fire the Malgachcs took to flight. Lieutenant Cottey and the corporal perished in boldly defending their lives, and the other white and five men of the African company fell wounded beside their officer. Emboldened by this sucess, the Sake laves came the next day to nearly within cannon shot reach of Ilelleville, set fire to the sur rounding villages, and commenced the siege of the Plateau. They were there repulsed on all sides, and hastily embarked for the main land. On hearing of these events the C o mmissary-General of the Isle de la Reunion end the Commandant of the squadron, took measures to secure our possession at Nurs h 6 from further eggression. Captain Despointes went himself with the Reine Blanche and the steam-corvette Cassini, with a reinforcement of infantry and artillery, and other forces were taken there by the Oise corvette. It may be, therefore, calculated on, that any further hostilities on the part of the Sakalaves will have either been prevented or repressed." Yesterday being All Saints Day the Bourse was shut. The Presse makes no comment on the PRESIDENT'S Message, p estibly in consequence of the absence of M. DE GIILARDIN in London. The funds are quoted at the Passage de l'Opera at 87:. 25c., so that the fall of If. has not in the slightest degree recovered. G E R Al AN AND FITE NORTHERN STATES. AUSTRIA. VIENNA, OCT. 28.—The public journals give the welcome intelligence this day that it has just been resolved, in a Council of the Ministers, that there shall be an end to the punishment of death for merely political offenders in Hungary. A courier has been sent off to P,sth, with dispatches to that effect. The Lloyd, in making known the above, adds— " The proceedings against those who sre implicated will, however, be carried on to their termination. Certain categories also are to bo formed, under which the accused are to be classed. In its effects the latter measure very nearly resembles an amnesty for those who are but slightly implicated. The last corps of Russians under GRAMM evacuated the Hungarian territory on the 27th ult. Letters from Treutschin complain bitterly of the conduct of the Russian troops, which has not been such as might be expected from soldiers sent by one Monarch to the assistance of another. KOSSUTH and the Magyars, on the contrary, are spoken of with respect. While they spoke in terms of praise of the insurgents they expressed themselves in a contemp tuous manner of the Austrian soldiers ; and during the residence of the latter among them they took the most lively pleasure in singing and playing Hun garian national airs in their hearing, particularly the " Military March of Kossuth." This shows that the feeling is strong against the Austrians. The Council of War continues to sit at Presburgh. The disgust occasioned by the atrocities of HATNAU is so great that eight commissioners of counties have resigned their office ; their names are PAUL of Som sich, late leader of the Conservative party in the Diets of 1847 and 1848 ; GEoaGE:of Milady, jun., Kiss, SENTRY, RouoNczY, and Count PECHY EMA NUEL. This example will probably be followed by others. Count STEPHEN SZIRMAY and Count FRANCIS ZICHT, who fought in the Imperial army during the war, are loud in their expressions of dis gust at the arbitrary manner in which Hungary is treated. . . _ The Wiener Zeitung publishes the regulations fur the opening of the national loan for the Imperial Austrian finances. . - With regard to the interview which the Turkish Ambassador had with the EMPEROR, the Breslau Zeitung says :—" MESSAROS, the Turkish Ambassa dor at our Court, remitted a letter from the SULTAN to the EMPEROR on the 25th, which appears to have been decisive on the question of the Magyar refugees. MEssanos likewise had a conference with the Pre mier, Prince SCRIVARTZENRERG. We have since learnt, from an authentic source, that the Porte pledges itself nut to give up any of the renegades, and to have all the refugees taken under a strong escort from Widdin to the Isle of Candia. This pro position was accepted by our Government; it is said to have originated with Count STURMER." PRUSSIA. A treaty has been concluded between Prussia and Saxony, by virtue of which a communication is effected between the two kingdoms by means of an electric telegraph line over Leipsic. The line from Berlin to Leipsic will be undertaken, worked, and kept in repair by Prussia, and the line from Leipsic to Berlin by Saxony. On the 28th of October, at seven o'clock in the evening, a meteoric stone fell at Berlin in the fore court of the University. There was no crush, but a certain crackling noise as it tell, and in an instant the whole court and building became brilliantly illumi nated. The stone resembles a round cake. The largest portion has been sent for analysis to the Royal Minerological Cabinet. The individual grains resemble silver ore. WIRTEMBERG. A let'er from Stuttgard of the 30th announces a change of Ministry. The Minister of Justice, M. de Roemer, has been replaced by M. de Haenlein ; the Minister of the Interior, Instruction, and Worship, M. de Duverney,by M. de Schleger for the Interior, and M. Spittler for Instruction and Worship. M. Spittler will also have charge of the portfolio of Foreign Affairs, replacing M. de Roser. Colonel de Bauer, aide-de camp to the ICING, replaces General de Rupplin as Minister of War, and, finally, the Minister of Fi nances, M. de Joppelt gives way to M. de llerdegen. In a proclamation addressed to their fellow-citinns, the new Ministry acknowledge that the condition of public affiirs is very critical ; that the country still suffers from the shock received by it when all the neighbouling states were convulsed; and they announce that, with the consent of the KING, they will speedily assemble the representatives of the people, elected agreeably to the law of the Ist of July, and will submit to them divers propositions, having for objvct the revision, urgently required, of many articles of the constitution as well as financial measures. THE BRAZILS •••••LIVEEPOOL, TnunsnAY.—By the Columbu;, Captain Green, we have advices from Per nambuco to the 29th of September. After the sailing of the Penguin packet, exchange was effected at 27d. In other respects there was nothing to ad 1. Beware of confiding in distant prospects of happi ness, lest they be stuldenly intercepted by the most trivial present vexation. A leaf in the foreground is large enough to conceal a forest on the far horizon.— Eliza Cook's Journal. NOVEMBER 2, IR49_ ITA L Y. The Parliameat of Turin has pass(l a law, cr.tnfer ring. on the inhabitants of Oporto the rights of Sar dinian citizenQ, as a testimlov of grp.litude for the kindness received by CHARLES Ar.n%aT in Oporto. RADETzKY has published the following proclama tion : “ People of the Lombardo-Venetian Kingdom:—His I\Ljesty the Emperor has appointed me Govenor-Gene ral of the civil and military affairs of the Lombardo- Venetian kingdom. His Majesty has committed to me this double power to add to the power Lnd the sanc tity of law the paeans to make it effectual. You your selves have experienced that the violation of the law leads to anarchy and the ruin of the people. The domi nation for only a single year of a power without law has caused more misfortune and injury than the best legislation and the wisest administration can repair in ten years. Once more I exhort you to be a link of that great chain which unites the inhabitants of our common monarchy, the liberal institutions of which will assure the full development of your imerests, and will con ciliate your national su , eeptibilities with the prosperity of each and all. Far he from your hearts any doubts of the sincerity and purity of the intentions of your Go vernment—doubts hitherto too much indulged in. It is the desire and wish of the Emperor, our master, to see the Lombardo-Venetian liinglom happy and prosperous under his sceptre; and I am prou:l to have been chosen as the instrumen, of his good desires. It I have been personally the object of any unmerited injury, every trace of it is effaced from my mind. To forgive and forget is my motto. I rely on your co-operation, upon your confidence, of which I have need to give effect to the projects I have conceived for the happiness of a country which is endeared to me by a long residence in it, and which I love as my second country.

FATAL DISTURBANCES IN TRINIDAD. The packet ship Clyde arrived at Southampton this morning. She brings 800,000 dollars on merchants' account. her news from Jamaica is up to October Bth. At Panama there were 2,000 people waiting to procure a passage to California, which they would succeed in duing in four American steamers that were ready to give them a passage. Much excite ment existed in Trinidad in consequence of a pro jected change in the treatment of small debtors, which went the length of causing a commotion in the Court of Spain, which ended in loss of life. It appears that a law was passed imposing on small debtors the penalty of confinement and having their heads shaved a punishment only inflicted on condemned criminals. While the law was on its way to receive the sanction of the Governor, the people rose to resist the intended enactment, and in such force as to render it necessary to call out the military. The 88th Regiment were called out, and ordered to fire on the people, and two women and one boy were killed. in the meantime a meeting of the respectable inhabitants took place, who petitioned , the Governor not to sanction the obnox ions measure. Lord Harris acceded, and the riot ended. Her Ma jesty's ship Champion was expected about the 10th October from the west coast of Mexico, at Panama, with a very large remittance, which would be sent across the Isthmus, and transported on board one of the West India Company's vessels. The amount of the remittance is expected to be 1,500,000 dollars. At Jamaica the following resolutions passed the Assembly on the sth ult.:-- Resolved--" That in the:rzcsent embarrassed finan cial circumstances of the colony it is necessary that this house should use every means in its power to prevent the loss of revenue which may be expected to arise from the expiring of the Act imposing a duty upon imports, and to check or prevent such an increase by importation vt ithout paying duty on the stock of articles upon which duty has hitherto been paid, and will hereafter be levied as will increase the amount of such loss, and render additional direct taxation unavoidable in providing for the exigencies of the public." Resolved—" That this House will, in passing the Bill now Before it to impose a duty on articles im ported into this island, provide for the recovery and collection of duties upon all goods liable to duty thereunder which shall have been imported from and after the fifth day of the present month of October." The only event which can invalidate the above is another prorogation or dissolution, which may take place if the Retrenchment Bill be rejected. The chief event at Demerara since the last mail has been the passing of the Franchise Bill. MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.) MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales or Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 5,000 bales, f which 1,000 American were:taken on speculation. The market closed tamely.—Railway shares were flat, and prices rather lower. The Cern Market is dull to-day in Mark-lane. Of foreign wheat the arrivals are 11,000 qrs. In the commercial markets a good deal has been doing this week, and with increased supplies of Sugar, Coffee, Sec., prices have nevertheless been well main tained. Consumption proceeds favourably, and stocks are thus kept down. Upon the state of trade in the manufacturing districts we have the followiug particu lars from Messrs. McNair, Greenhow, and Irving:— " This has been a remarkable month, rendered peculiarly so by the extraordinary excitement and ani mation which characterised a considerable portion of it, and the stillness and absence of both these qualities which have marked its commencing and closing weeks. In ordinary years, when money is abundant, and the facilities for speculative purposes are easily accessible, it is hardly to be expected that an article like cotton, so readily convertible and essentially important to the commerce of this country when unsupported by au thentic data, as to the extent necessary for supply and consumption, should not attract attention. It is un questionably too early to form an opinion as to what extent the present crop may be. The last accounts were more favourable, and we shall be much mistaken if all existing estimates be not materially exceeded, provided the season continued favourable. This belief is founded upon data within our reach. Far too much stress is laid upon the weekly consumption of this district. We do not believe that it has reached the quantity stated. Though a portion 0? the preceding remarks may scarcely be considered per tinent to the object of a monthly trade report, yet they appear to us to be so, consistently with a repeated con viction that any influence, whether for good or evil, upon the trade of this district comes legitimately within its pros ince. "From the commencement to about the 9th of the month the intimation in our last circular as to the then state of things became gradually confirmed. From an apprehension that lower rates would ensue (which was the case until the date named) operations were restricted to pressing wants. Upon the arrival, however, of the American steamer the transactions in the Liverpool Cotton market produced an instantaneous movement here, which continued to increase in animation, eager ness, and intensity for about ten days, to a degree al most unknown since the latter period of 1831. The , previous decline in the value of both Cloths and Twist tended to stimulate operations, and the enhanced value of most of the leading articles, as indicated by our Price Current, will exhibit the altered price of each. Many parties, no doubt, too, who fancied that ' every thing was sure to be higher,' ran eagerly to secure pre sent and propective wants." Since that date some degree of flatness has succeeded, and there is much less esgsrness to buy, although no serious reaction is to be noted. The Clyde steamer, from the West Indies, is reported to have arrived off Calshot Castle. She will not bring any Mexican mail. The Contieeet 1 advices are of a very scanty character, yesterday having been observed as a holiday at Paris, Antwerp, and other places. The English Securities have experienced a very decided reaction upon the news from Paris, and it is certainly dif f icult to form a conclusion as to the issue et the Ministerial crisis. The bold stand made by Louis Napoleon is obviously calculated to render hirn popular, though it may not secure him good majorities in the National Assembly, and it is certainly to be de plored that the men of note are all wedded to some fac tion or to antiquated impressions that ill accord with the enlightened views of patriotic men.

Coastwise, the receipts of English Wheat, this week, have bee❑ tolerably good, viz., 3,710 quarters. The arrivals by land carriage hare not been to say large. This morning, the show of ssmples of both red and white, was not heavy ; yet, owing to the small number of buyers in attendance, and the increase in the importa tions from abroad, the demaud for all kinds of Wheat of hone produce was in a very inactive state ; and, in some instances, the inferior qualities declined Is per quarter, without cli•eting a clearance. Upwards of 11,000 quarters of foreign Wheat have come in, chiefly from Dautzie. Fine samples were mostly held at full prices, at which very little business was transacted. The middling and inferior kinds were dull in the extreme, and lower to purchase. Nothing doing in floating cargoes. The supply of English Barley was on the increase—that of foreign smal Malting parcels ruled steady, at late rates. In grinding and distilling samples very little was doing. A considerable increase has taken place in the supplies of Malt. That article was a very dull sale, at barely stationary prices. Very few English oats were on show. The fresh supply of foreign was 12,410 quarters. Sound Corn was quite as dear, but other kinds of Oats were a slow inquiry. Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, Meal, and Flour heavy, at unaltered currencies.

As the weather was more favourable for slaughtering, and the attendance of buyers on the increase, the Beef trade ruled steady, and, in some instances, the quotations were a shade higher than on Monday. Really prime Scots, had they been on offer, would have readily produced 4s per 81bs. There was an increase in the number of Sheep, nevertheless, the Mutton trade was somewhat active, at prices fully cqual to those obtained on last market-day. The primest Downs were firm, at 4s per 81bs. Prior to the conclusion of business a good clearance bad been effected. We were very scantily supplied with Calves, which moved off steadity, at a slight improvement in value. Prime small Pigs were steady, at full prices; otherwise the Pork trade was dull.
