Again we have occasion to refer to the fanatical efforts of the Sabbstsrians, in reference to the obstruction of all improvement in the Post•ofiice department. Our revival of this vexed question is induced by the appearance o► an admirable pamphlet on the subject (recently issued from the establishment of the eminent publisher, Mr. Mermay), written by a reverend gentleman, of great ability, the Head Master of Harrow School, and late a Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge* So calm, so clear, so argumentative, so just, amiable, and conclusive are the remarks made by this intelligent divine - upon the theme of so much angry discussion, that we must be allowed to transcribe from the pages of his brochure several of its most felicitous passages—thereby en abling him to speak for himself, in his own fashion and in his own language. Having himself refused to sign a parochial remonstrance against the proposed changes in the Post-office Establishment, Dr. VAUGHAN conceives himself jus`ified in addressing his friends through the medium of this printed letter, for the purpose of showing them that such a refusal on his part is anything but incompatible with an earnest and reverential regard for, what is called, the national observance of the Sunday. To demonstrate this position he takes, as the basis of his argument, the original minute submitted by Mr. ROWLAND HILL to the Postmaster-General during the course of last February—a document which is open to general examination, and which therefore it is impossible to garble for the sake of bolstering up a sophistry. Now what is the exact purport of that minute and what are its avowed intentions ? Dr. VAUGHAN, upon this point, thus expresses himself, and to his commentaries upon the scheme of Mr. ROWLAND HILL we would here demand most especial attention. lie says : " The mf!asure now impugned (the transmission namely, of certain provincial and foreign letters through London on the Sunday) is not an isolated one. It is but one part of a more general scheme. And what is the object of that scheme, as described in the minute re fer, ed to ? The reduction of the Sunday duties of the Post-office. The securing of the utmost possible amount of Sunday rest to all connected with the Post office. What, Again, W 33 the first part of the same mea sure? What was that earlier step, taken by the sane persons iu the same direction, of which the present change is a consequence ? The total suspension of all money-order business on Sunday throughout Eng land and Wales. And what are some of those ulterior measures, to which the attention of the origi nators of this is next to be directed? Tho deferring of work now done on the Sunday till after midnight. The reduction of Sunday work, even at the chief office, con siderably below its present amount. Important mea sures of relief to the rural messengers and rural re ceivers on the Sunday. What, finally, is the declared object of the present alteration? Further relief from Sunday labour in the provincial post•offices; and thus the diminution of Sunday work in the department as a whole. S:) far from its being correct to state this as a merely accidental result of the measure, it is its very object and purpose, to which all else is subordinate and subsidiary. In continuation of these remarks, he asks if such facts as those just enumerated ought not "to preclude, at least, a precipitate sentence of condemnation ?" Assuredly there is not a casuist in the land but would shrink from openly avowing that it is fair to impute to any one not merely " motives which he disavows, but motives of which he professes the very opposite." Forced, then, to accept these as the only rational, and indeed admissible grounds of argument, the most virulent and prejudiced Sabbatarian will be com pelled to learn (with the Rev. Dr. VAUGHAN ) the object of the minute of Mr. ROWLAND HILL from its author, and, consequently, to arrive at the same identical conclusions. Subsequently our learned and respected pamphleteer gainsays very happily, and denies very logically the objection, that the changes prove practically injurious by causing more harm than it obviates, by intro ducing more Sunday labour than it supersedes. Granting, he maintains, that at the outset the altera tion may actually appear to increase the Sunday duties at the Post-office (as it literally does to a certain extent in London), it should nevertheless be remembered that the additional at tendance found b be necessary in St. Martin's-le- Grand is voluntary—that it is not permitted to in fringe upon the hours of Divine service either during the morning or the afternoon—and that Sunday labours for the reception and assortment of letters having been previously tolerated, the changes are in no respect innovations. Besides, he inquires, even regarding the addition of twenty-five clerks to those already employed on Sundays at the central estab lishment as an evil, "is it counterbalanced by any greater good ?" Upon this particular he proceeds— " It Is necessary to tsko a national view of such a question. The Post-office system throughout England is one, not many. The London office, and the provin cial offices, are but several parts of one connected whole. The question, therefore, is, nut whether this office, or that office, separately regarded, will be a gainer or a loser by the change; but whether, on the whole, the aggregate of gain or loss will preponderate; whether, so to say, the Post office of England, as distinguished from that of London separaTely, or that of York or of 141:.-n- " AlLetter on the late Post-office Agitation. By Charles Jail Vaughan, D.D., &c." Bvo., pp. 16. Array; Lonion. 1849. THE StIN, LONDON, SATVIMAY EVENING, 13VCEIVITIER cheater separately, will thus be relieved on the Sunday, or burdened. If twenty-five additional servants are required in the London office on the Sunday, and twic3 twenty-five can be relieved on that day in the provincial offices, the change, so far as it extends, is salutary. Now, if this obvious principle be granted, the ques tion is decided at once. Beyond all contradiction, the present measure is one of relief from Sunday labour to the department as a whole. But the opponents of the measure argue thus : Taking the London office by itself, an addition is proposed to the labours of the Sun day: this is a sinful project: and if it be urged, on the other side, that a tenfold relief will thus be afforded to the provincial offices, they answer, that this is but doing evil that good may come. Yet is not this argument capa ble of an easy inversion? Are you not, in resisting the pro posed relief of the country offices, on the plea of regard for that of London, doing, in fact, a great evil—not that a small good may come, but that a small evil may not come?" The logic in all this is as clear and incontrover tible as it is candid and simple. From all these con siderations, he is ultimately induced to enumerate as the manifest advantages by which this admitted evil is counterbalanced, the three following :- 1. The cessation of several Sunday cross-posts, by which the detention of letters in London throughout that day has been hitherto evaded or obviated: and this without any addition to the existing number of mail trains, or other means of transmission, to or from London on the Sunday. "2. A great diminution of the former amount ef letters written and read in the country on that day. " 3. The entire discontinuance of a second delivery of letters on Sunday throughout England and Wale 3 : a measure affecting considerably more than two hundred towns, and affording direct and imm6diate relief to a very far larger number of persons." Setting aside all the ulterior benefits which it is reasonable to anticipate as accruing from these holesome innovations—such, for example, as that which Dr. VAuoihtN hopes, and not unreasonably hopes to see, namely, "that the unrestricted transmis sion of letters on the Sunday may eventually be fol lowed by an equally general suspension of their delivery " there is ample cause for self gratulation on the part of the most enthu siastic sticklers for the observance of the Sunday in the three obvious and lrgo advantages before enumerated. Instead of howling at a project tshich they falsely pretend will superinduce an in crease of labour on Sunday, the sanctimonious and ceremonial upholders of a religion more Hebrew than Chriztian in its formula, should on the contrary exult in a measure which truth declares to he another means for lessening the toils of the people on a day intended to be a day of rest and adoration. A rumour that some time since prevailed in Ireland has just been revived with additional strength. It is iaid to be the intention of the Government to adopt the principle of " centralization," and to " itnperialise" Ireland so far as it may be practicable. The mere report has excited a v:.st amount of virtuous indigna tion, and angry protests are already offered eg4inst the project. Whether the statement be authentic cr °then\ i!e. the proposition is worthy of mature and attentive consideration, and should not be dismissed as un- worthy of notice until its relative advantages and disadvantages be accurately weighed, and it ba discovered to which side the balance would really incline. Extraordinary changes have taken place of late years in the facilities of transit from one part of the empire to another. Dub Hn is brought within twelve hours of London, and the most remote part of Ireland may now be visited in less time and at a more trifling ex pense than Yorkshire or Cornwall could previously have been reached. The real question to be considered is, which curse will be most beneficial to the great majority of the inhabitants of the sister kingdom. Would the condition of the Irish people be improved or deteriorated by placing them in every respect on a footing of equality with the English ? Should Ireland be rendered really an integral portion of the British empire, or should a spurious nationality be preserved, which, while it may be flat tering to the pride, is deeply injurious to the best interests of her children? The question is one of the deepest importance, and a crude or hasty answer should not be returned. The present condition of the country is, unhappily, but too well known. All classes unite in deploring the untoward state of affairs. Various causes have been assigned, and innumerable remedies have been suggested for the regeneration of that unhappy land. I " Repeal the Union," is the cry of one party—restore her Parliament to Ireland, and render her really an independent nation. We do net coincide in opinion with those persons, in supposing that such a course would be really advantageous, but we can under stand and respect the feelings by which they are influenced. They can easily perceive that any change must be for the better, that their unfortunate country can scarcely be worse off than it is at present, and they naturally cry out fur a change which they conscientiously believe would im prove her position. But they are totally mistaken in the nature of the remedy so urgently required. In place of weakening, they should endeavour to cement more closely, and to consolidate the bonds by which the islands are (we trust) indissolubly united. To attain a full and perfect equality with this more for tunate country, in place of the stupid and unmean ing cry of " Ireland for the Irish," why should they not enter fully and fairly into the competition and struggle for pro eminence to which their genius, talents, and we will add, industry would afford them a fair prospect. They are themselves the chief sufferers by the exclusive system. Far better that all the offices of both countries were fully opened for emulation, and that every person in either island should have a reasonable chance of gaining even the highest prizes. They hare seen their countrymen acquire for them selves well- merited reputations in every profession. The names of MARTIN, Of MURPHY, of SAFE, and of :a host of others, whom it would be invidious to parti cularise, are well known in Westminster, and no prejudice on account of country Las deterred clients from availing themselves of their well-known abilities. Why should not similar opportunities be afforded to every Irishman who felt confidence in himself, and was prepared to enter into an honourable competi . tion i At present they have the Pour Courts, and a monopoly of certain petty offices in Ireland. But how much wider would be the prospect if Westmin ster Hall and all the colonies of this mighty empire were opened to their ambition ! We do not find the people of Yorkshire complaining because they have not a separate Parliament, or the men of Kent sigh ing fur a restoration of the lleptarchy. " Union is strength," and the more perfect that union the greater will be the power of the empire and the chances of success and prosperity for every member of the body politic, whether he be a native of England, of Ireland, or of Scotland. A.. pamphlet has just appeared,* in which these views are put forward with singular ability. The talented writer points out that "if the merely insular position of Ireland were developed to the highest extent, the condition of her people would still be provincial and paltry." It would be so indeed ; for if the " Ireland-for-the-Irish" cry were adopted and sanctioned, it could not be -supposed that " England for the English" would not also be raised. There should be a full and perfect reciprocity in every respect, and those who call for it in a limited degree, and for their own purposes, should not com plain or feel surprised if it were carried out to the fullest extent. One of the first steps in the right direction, without which nothing practical could be achieved, is the amalgamation of the legal professions in both coun tries. There can be no adequate reason assigned why the English barrister or solicitor should not be entitled to practise in Ireland, and the Irish in England, whenever occasion should arise. The highest judicial officers have been selected from the English bar for the former country. A HART, a Suansx, and a CAMPBELL have held the Irish Seals within the last quarter of a century, and it is only to be regretted that the policy was not fully carried out, and that a PLuSKET did not reside in the English Rolls' Court, to which he was actually appointed. When the most exalted offices of the profession are thus thrown open, why should not the minor branches in like manner be available? Why should a person not be qualified to practice in a court in which he mar be called upon to preside—why should he not act as a barrister where he may be appointed a judge? The Irish bar have even greater cause of com plaint at this narrow•-irinded and impolitic exclu sion than their English brethren. No perstia can , be called to the bar in Ireland until he has teen • '• Ireland Imperialized. A Letter to the Earl, of Clarendon." Dublin: James M`Glashan. duly admitted a member of one of the Inns of Court, and served a certain number of terms in this country. His education is in every respect the same as that of the English barrister; why then should any absurd distinction be drawn ? If the Irish barrister be not duly qualified, he cannot hope for any degree of success in the active competition he must encounter. We cannot suppose that the learning and talent of the English bar would shrink from the friendly contest. It is the interest of the suitors in both countries that the services of the best men should be available, and that desideratum would be attained by the course suggested. It is not, however, from the English bar that any opposition is to be feared, the transfer of the Courts of Equity and Common Law in Ireland to West minster would be too manifestly beneficial to suppose that it would be objected to at this side of St. George's Channel. It is the foolish provincial spirit in Ireland that is to be dreaded. Let those, however, who are actuated by this paltry ambition reflect on the words of the talented writer to whom we have alluded. Let them consider that " they condemn their children to practise in a province where the greatest learning cannot realise more than a third of the highest Eng lish bar income, and where years of professional labour and ability are rewarded by a chairmanship of a county—an office with its five hundred a-year, which a first-class London law clerk would decline." diately brought under your consideration.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were from 3,000 to 3,500 bales, of a h ich 1,000 were taken on speculation.—ln Railway Shares a good business was done, and prices were still looking up. The immediate cause of the reduction in the rate of discount at the Bank of England would appear to be presented to us in the further decided increase of bullion and unemployed notes on the one hand, with diminution of circulation on the other, which occurred last week, attended by a lessened demand for accoa mutation on other securities, and a great addition to the account of the public Treasury.

Lion, states : " For some short time there has been increasing difficulty iu the employment of floating funds. The deerease in the amount of private securities at the Bank of England, and the additions exhibited by the returns to the investments of that establishment in public secu rities, are so much additional evidence of the contiemd depression of the market rate of interest sensibly below three per cent. This posture of the Bank accounts, com bined with the large increase of the total reserve of bel lieu during the month—a reserve amounting to 16.040,0001., being nearly the largest amount at any time in the Bank's possession—very naturally directs d the attention of the director* to their minimum rate of interest, and on Thursday, the 22.1 instant, the rate of 3 per cent. per annum, which has been in force since the 21 of November, 1843, was reduced to 24 per cent. per annum. A nee azure of this kind is certainly quite justified by the present pasiti .n •of the Bank, and is perirctly in accordance with the principles of the last charter. It would be better if the Bank of England could be relieved from the necessity of coming forward at a p,riod like the present, to operate by its povvertnl example upon a state of the Money ma-ket already dis tirguished by an undo sirable extreme of cheapness. The directors, however, are entitled to great praise for having forborne so long to make the present change." Now, strongly impressed as wo aro with the import ance of beeping money at a steady value, and in which sense «e have not viewed the reduction with anythirg 1 ke unalloyed ssttisfection, we cannot but acquiesce in she above view of the sae, for we know by experienice that it is correct.

Extreme measures have been taken by a company, who hold a large amount of their securities, against several respectable shareholders in Edinburgh, who, in turn, have brought actions of damages egainst the company for the injury they have sustained by these proceedings." On referring to a file of the Melbourne papers, we find that the property held by the batik in the Australian colonies, estimated at 90,000/., was to have been dis posed of by lottery, on the 15th May last. The agent for the bank at Melbourne states, in his advertisement of the lottery— " That the bank, having determined to wind up their affairs at any sacrifice, it was suggested to the directors by one of the highest legal authorities in the colony, that a plan of partition by lot amongst the shareholders, after the same manner of division of property as adopted in the High Court of Chancery, should be resorted to; and this suggestion has now been followed under the best legal edvice, and-epproved of by the most able and astute lawyers in the colony."

The Cologne Gazette publishes the following ex planation relative to the denial inserted in the Prussian Staats Anzeiger on the subject of the opposition of Austria to thts convention of the German Parliament at Erfurt : " The Prussian Staats Anzeiger contradicts the ints.l - relative to the protest of Austria against the meeting of the German Parliament. We have collected as accurate information as possible, which is as follows: "M. Von Prokesch having received from Vienna a confidential communication cr dispatch, imparted its contents to the Prussian Minister for Foreign Affairs. This communication was restricted to hinting at the possibility of a formal protest, if Prussia should convoke the Parliament. What may have passed verbally between them is known only to themselves ; but we believe that we know right well that the Austrian envoy state d the possibility of the solution of the question by the sword, if Prus:ia did not ray regard to the formal protest which he an nounced as coming. "It is possible this is merely a measure of intimiea tion ; ho..s-ever, a dispatch was sent to M. Von. Born storff, thelfrussi..n Envoy at Vienna—it was a dispatch end not a-note. In this oispatch, with which Prince Schwaizrnburg was made acquainted, the Prtm,ian Cabinet developrd its views, also in a confidential form, and fur the first time insisted that Austria herself had violated, by her constituticn of the 4.11 of December, the formal dispositions of the Constitution Act of the German Conted , :ration. The dispatch cmiclutles by stating that Prussia will persevere at all i47.-irds in the path upon which she has entered, and that s he is in a position calmly to await any eventuality which may Lsur," The German Reform coWalos an article on this subject, which states that the oprosition of Austria to the formation of the federal state is known to all, that she may protest and even intimidate, but w•il be sure to desist in the end, as a good understandirg with Prussia is of value and importance to her. The same journal adds that the policy of the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh is i 1 understood, if it be supposed that it takes the part of Austria against Prussia in the German question. That Cabinet per fectly understands that the peace and security of the conservative I'ricces of Germany depend on the position of Prussia. The Cologne Gazette says—" We learn from an authentic source that the KING has signed the law relative to the elections to the German Parliament." This notification, in part, appears in the Steals. The Electoral Law for the popular Chamber of the German Diet is published in the Prussian Staats Anzeiger of the 28th ult. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. Letters from Flensburg of the 24,h ult., in the National Zeitung, state that the island of Alsen is being placed on a war footing. Sonderhurg is about to be fortified and to receive a garrison of 10,000 men. Ina Berlin letter of the 28th ult., in the Kohler Zeitung, it is mentioned that the agents of the Schleswig Statholdership h:.ve met with an excel lent reception at Copenhagen, and that the Danish Minister readily listened to the proposals they had to make. ITALY. The Giornale di Roma announces that the Span ish troops will all be withdrawn from Roma abou :he middle of December. Several circulars, are published in the Piedmontese Gazette, addressed to the Ecclesiastical Dignitaries' and Magistrates, calling on them to instruct all those in office under them to enlighten the people on the nature of the question at issue in the forthcoming elections, and to urge them not to refrain from ' exercising their right of voting, but come forward and support the KING and Government in maintaining the true liberties of the country. The Opinione of Turin, of the 26th, quotes the fol lowing le(ter, dated Milan, the 24th ult. : « The fortifications of Piacenza are being repaired with the greatest activity, and the corps of occupation is constantly reheorce d by troops arriving from different points of Lombardy. The interview at Vienna between the Dukes of Parma and Modena referred to the plan in contemplation. Thus, General d'Aspre, who always commands the advanced guard, has been appointed Commander of the Corps of Army of the Duchies ; and if your Minister of War had any doubts respect ing the projects of Austria, the following declaration. emanating from General Radetzky himself, would remove them. Our Podesta, having repaired to Verona to present his homage to the old mar shal, insinuated in his address that, peace being defini tively restored, it might be expedient to take off the state of siege. His Excellency replied to him in these terms: I am sorry not to be able to accede to your desire. Peace is more apparent than solid; and it may happen that next spring we shall be obliged to make a military promenade in the Sardinian dominions.'" The Censtituzionale of Florence states from Rome, 21st ult., that the three ladies who had been im prisoned in consequence of the funeral service of the victims of war have been sent back to their homes, where they are to remain under arrest until further orders. PENINSULAR MAILS. SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY NIGHT.—The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company's ship Iberia, Captain Burney, has arrived here from Leg horn, Genoa, and Gibraltar. On IVednesday night the Iberia experienced a hard gale, with heavy sea, and when 100 miles west south-west of Ushant, the cross-head of the starboard engine broke ; she has, therefore, accomplished the remainder of the voyage with only one engine. On the homeward voyage the Iberia spoke the steamers Indus and Hindostan, outward bound. On the 25th, at noon, she exchanged colours with a large British frigate and two war-steamers, steering for the Tagus. A two-decker line•of-battle ship (British) ran into Gibraltar Bay on the 231, but left for the eastward immediately afterwards. Exchange at Gibraltar on London, 491 to s. HEALTH of the QUEEN DOWAGER.

ENTERTAINMENT AT THE MANSION - HOLISM—Last evening tie Lord Mayor gave his first entertainment to the General Purposes Committee, and to a numbrr of his Lordship's private friends. Curers •.vt re laid in the long parlour for about sixty, and' the evening passed off with the greatest ntisfsetion. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The National Assembly has committed an open and fligrant violation of the Constitution, thus set ting the example to any who may be inclined to follow it. Should the PRESIDENT openly adopt mea • sures to secure his re-election, and should the Na tional Assembly remonstrate, he might quote their vote of Thursday as a precedent, and set them at defiance, so far as legality was concerned. It will be remembered that the Constituent As sembly determined, after many debates, to make it a fundamental principle of the Constitution .that the electors should vote for their representatives in the chief towns of tho Cantons. This was done is order that the rural electors might be enabled to exercise their franchise freely, which they could not do if their votes were taken in the parishe.,., as they would is such cases be subject to the intimi dation of the priest and of the local authorities. This, which is one of the fundamental principles of the Constitution, has been violated by the present priest ridden Assembly, which has determined by a majority of 418 to '2Ol to subject the rural electors to the direct ioterferince and intimidation of their priest, by ordering the votes to he taken for the future in the p,lrisht s. The preposition of Colonel CIIAIIRAS for the sale of the crown jewels was negatived by a majority (1439 to 187. The Illopiteur da Soir has the following.— " T journals—l'Grdre and the Voir du People— pro tend that we have reproduced and approved of an article of the Credit, attributing to the Piesident of the Itae pablic a speech to the pretects recently appoiuttel. This is an error of the journals alluded to, mach they will, wiliout doubt, hasten to rectify. We have not repro duced a word of the article of the Credit, and we could not approve of a larguago which we had every reason to consider apocryphal." M. PE hAYNEVAL has given in his resignation of the office of French Minister at Rome, in consequence of liberal instructions given to General BMIAGUAT DithwEas. The instructions to General BARAGUAY D'llinustas are in accordance with the views of the PRESIDENT of the Republic, as developal in his letter to M. EDGArt NEI% The Legitimatist plot of the Rue de Romford has more extensive ramifications than had been at first suspected, and persons of some importance are said to have been implicated in it. Upwards of 400 Legiti matists are said to have been arrested in the provinces, in consequence of the discoveries which have been made during the course of the examination of the prisoners. Neither M. MOLE nor M. DE MONTALEMBERT were present at the PRESIDENT'S reception on Thursday evening. The absence of these leaders of the parti pretre was much commented on. The trial of 23 persons accused of belonging to a secret society called the Les Amis de l'Egalit6 was brought to a close at a late hour on the night of Wednesday. Fifteen of the accused were acquitted, and the others were condemned as follows ;—LEGRE, six months' imprisonment; CASTINET and PRICIOT, one year's imprisonment, 100 f. fine, and one year's interdiction of civil rights; SALGULE and THERM'', six months' imprisonment, 100 f. fine, and one year's interdiction of civil rights; Hanaust, two years' im prisonment, 100 f. fine, and two years' interdiction of civil right. When called up for his defence, the last made a violent speech, in which he declared him self a Communist, and said that while life lasted he would combat for a Republic in, which every man should be supplied according to his wants, and no one allowed to have 10,000 f. a year when others were starving. The French Government has sent orders to Rome to send home that portion of the expeditionary army for whom it has been impossible to find barracks, and who are ill lodged. The Evenement announces that M. DE PERSIGNY is about to proceed to Berlin on a special mission. The Estaffette mentions a report that the PIIESI DENT of the Republic will grant a general amnesty to all the political offenders on the 10th of December. Letters from Lyons of the 27th inst. state that the overflowing of the Rhone has caused much damage in that city. The houses on the quays and the adjoining streets are completely flooded, and the inhabitants obliged to remove with their property. PARIS BOURSE, FRIDAY, Nov. 30.

Prince SCHWARZEN. BERG returned to Vienna from Prague on the 231 SAXONY. inst. by the KING in person. The following was the a l 0 ; I m on e nt Chambers e throne ut z were opened on the 26 t h ePe ‘ T ‘ e G helle en fBr t a serious time, after sad and startling events, I behold you once more assembled around me. I bave had to stiffer the sad experience —I, whose greatest pride for a l ong ser i es o f years was in the steadfast feeling of my p eo pl e f or or d er an d th e laws, have had to witness outbreak and rebellion against the constitution of the land, and my capital a prey to all the horrors of ti sanguinwry insurrection. It was put down by the devoted affection and valour of my troops, and of the Prussia n troo p s that came to t h eir assistance. To them the country is indebted for preservation against greater evils. But those events have made deep and last ing wounds upon my heart. My love towards my people has, however, remained unaltered, and I have not relaxed in my efforts for their happiness and welfare. Although the banner of German unity was desecrated by those who attempted to make it a shield for their criminal projects, I nevertheless regarded it as the duty of my Government nut to let it sink in the dust. I, therefore, did not hesitate to join a union of the German Gevernments which promisrd to the German nation a common constitution in responding to the demands of the present times. " My energies will in future be devoted towards that end. But I shall only regard my mission fulfilled when I shall have received a guarantee that right, the respect for which can alone assure duration to the new work, has not been infringed upon; that our German fatherland a ill go forth united and strong, not lacerated and weak from its new conformation; and that our beloved Saxony hold that place which is its due in a Ger man, and not in any other empire, for the sacrifices which, at this price, it is so willing to make. " Our relations with foreign powers remain undis turbed. _ _ " The war in Schleswig, in which another portion of my troops gave snch striking proofs of valour, has been stayed by Ln armistice; let us hope that it will soon be terminated by an honourable peace. "Our internal affairs will demand your serious atten• Lion. In so far as they were only provisionally agreed by the Legislature of last year, they stand in need of final determination.
