O Hungary, how art thou fallen ! Such at least might be our justifiable exclamation—speaking in the pathetic and reproachful language applied to the loftiest of the archangels—in the first flush of the disastrous intelligence received from the heroic country irrigated by the waters of the Waag, the Drave, and the Danube. Our profound dejection at the calamities which have succeeded the glorious achievements of the Magyars—and succeeded them, too, with such appalling rapidity—must not, how ever, be permitted to cloud our judgment with the darkness of indignation. We must estimate at their due importance the perils by which the Generals of the armies of liberation were surrounded—the extremities to which they were driven—the losses to which they were subjected. We must remember that those perils were the more enormous, that those extremities were the more imminent, and that those losses were the more frightful, in proportion as the bravery of the Hungarians extorted from the AUTOCRAT the evidence of his fury, of his cruelty, and of his ambition. For ourselves, it is consolatory to bear in recollection that from the very commencement of this atrocious war upon the rights and independence of the Hungarians we have protested against the apathy of our own Go vernment, while we have exulted in that magnificent display of valour, civism, and unanimity, which enabled those Hungarians to rout the veteran legions of Austria, and to drive them beyond the frontiers of their fatherland with every circumstance of ignominy and confusion. Yes ! if we are overwhelmed with sorrow at the events which have recently transpired, we can revert without any sentiments of remorse to all the preceding occurrences. We can remember, with pardonable satisfaction, how we remained almost isolated in our appreciation of the noble qualities which characterised the Provisional Government at Debreczin, , e hen those patriotic statesmen were else where assailed by every ribald vituperation, by every anonymous slander, and by every dark and damna tory aspersion. At the eleventh hour the genius and the disinterestedness of those illustrious chieftains are recognised—and not only recognised, but absolutely eulogised—by the lips of their assailants and by the pens of their calumniators. Even the panegyrists of the monster HAYNAU and of the execrable FAME wrroa have been forced to bow the head in homage to those deeds of heroism and those revelations of generalship which they themselves have acknowledged to be without a parallel. If the annalist, sympa thising with that holy cause with which the name of the immortal KOSSUTH has become for ever identified—if the annalist, in recording the details of the recent capitulation has reason to weep for the destruction of the golden hopes of four teen millions—he has also cause for unutterable ex ultation in narrating the memorable and sublime antecedents of that dismal and abrupt downfal. He will recount, for the admiration of posterity, the grandeur of that simultaneous movement of the Mag yars which led to the degradation of the bombardier of Vienna, and, subsequently, to that of his vaunted successor, and which ultimately conduced to the expulsion of the legions of despotism beyond the limits of a violated dominion. It will be declared in history that the first campaign of BEM in Transylvania was only comparable to the finest achievements of MONTECUCULI. It will be said, and said with truth, that the defence of Comorn in its prolonged success—that success being the more remarkable from the contiguity of the fortress to the Austrian capital, and from the numerical preponder ance of the German artillery—is more - - -thy of consideration and astonishment than the ~caned defence of Saragossa. After ma ars have elapsed the peasants of Hungary will narr.ce to their children how the savage horsemen of JELLACHICH were all but annihilated by the followers of GUYON, when the English captain, on the borders of Sclavonia, crossed swords with the BAN of the Croatians. Poets will sing of the military skill of DEMBINSKI, of the daring of KLAPRA, of the resolution of Amami, of the assi duous devotion of BATH/ANY, and of the glorious incorruptibility of KOSSUTH, as long as there is a heart to feel, or a brain to think, within the circum ference of Hunga ry . And in after generations, the demagogues will strive to rouse the dormant patriotism of the Magyars by a reference to the glory won b y their ance stors, in the great wars of f or t y - e i g h t and fort y nine. Yea ! and the memor y of those great men who . are now overwhelmed by their misfortunes will be a nobler security for the nationality of the Hungarians than ever were to the Gre,,ks and the Romans the ancyle of the Capitol or the palladium of the Acro polis. Circumstances which at present appear enigmatical will in a few days be unravelled —and then, but not till then, shall we be enabled to form an accurate opinion as to the necessity or the culpability of the recent submission of GEORGEY to PASICEWITCH. What appears to be incontrovertible already may be briefly enumerated. To DEMBINSKI had been entrusted by the Hungarian Dictator the re spovsibility of the supreme command of the Oa of liberation. His mind it was which con ceived that masterly plan of the campaign which opened so auspiciously, and terminated so suddenly and deplorably. Under DEMBINSKI were those generals and their followers whose names were already covered with an enduring celebrity—there was a division under BEM in the east, a division under GEORGEY in the north, a division under GUYON in the south, and another division in the west under the orders of Mural. and Aulam The central army changed its position, of course, with the head quarters of DEMBINSKI ; and from those head quarters emanated, in unison with the policy of KOSSUTH and his Government, the commands which regulated the manoeuvres and directed the combinations of the campaign. So long as those commands were followed with implicit obedience, so long were the Magyar councils prosperous and the Magyar soldiers victorious. Assailed simultaneously by two gigantic empires,the defenders of Hungary, at first surrounded, in turn surrounded their assailants. Absolutism was completely checkmated. Comorn still held out; Peterwardein was relieved; Raab was captured, and the conquerors pressed forward even to the suburbs of Presburg. In a preliminary conflict among the mountains of Transylvania, BEM had discomfitted the corps led on by LUDERS. In the vicinity of the Donavitza GUYON had broken the courage and avenged the cruelties of the Croats under JELLACHICH. Along the banks of the Neytra and the Rabnitz, the troops under liLarice. and AULICH advanced with such undeviating success that the evidences of panic were already visible in the environs of Vienna. HAYNAU mean while, having marched southwards apparently for the purpose of carrying assistance to the BAN, completed his arrangements and prepared to try the strength of his arms against the " insurgents" under DEMBINSKI. Then it was that while BEM hastened from Transylvania to strengthen the forces under the Commander-in-Chief of the Hungarians, General ARTHUR. GEORGET, (whose first duty it had been from the very outset of the campaign to unite his soldiers with the soldiers of DRHRiNssi) did not effect that junction, that junc tion which was, under the circumstances, then im peratively necessary, but, instead of so doing, ob tained a reversion of the supreme power to himself from the hands of KOSSUTH, and inaugurated his accession to the Dictatorship by an uncon ditional surrender to Prince PASKEWITC H. Those are the facts as far as they have yet transpired, and upon them history will ultimately pronounce her irrevocable judgment. We pray GOD that no testi monies of treason so black and horrible as those which are surmised may be brought home to the youthful hero, the originator of this capitulation. For we remember that while GEORGEY has laid down his arms at the foot stool of the AUTOCRAT, BEM has remained faithful to the cause for which he has a hundred times jeopardized his existence. And BEM is a Pole, and GEORGEY is a Hungarian ! Our whole soul revolts so utterly from the mere supposition of such stupendous treason, that while we bow to the conviction that such a heart as that of NELSON would have broken rather than yield when at the head of 40,000 fighting men, we shall shut our eyes to suspicion, and honour GEORGET the Brave, until proofs of his guilt arise such as are altogether incontrovertible. Until indisputable facts shall demonstrate to the contrary, we shall regard Hungary as the victim of misfor une rather than the holocaust of treachery. A number of individual deaths by violent means is just now, very naturally, occupying general attention and exciting general horror ; and at the same time the Peace Society is endeavouring to preserve life by putting an end to the system of war. Simultaneously with the existence of these various feelings, having for their object the preservation of human life, an enemy more destructive than murder and more im placable than war is daily sweeping away tens and hundreds of our countrymen. Much has been said about the cholera ; we are aware it has excited in some instances unnecessary apprehension, and is many exaggerated alarm ; still, whatever may have been said, not sufficient has been done to impede the progress of the pestilence and to prevent its future recurrence. A murder is committed, and imme diately every circumstance connected with it is inves tigated end the , primo agent subjected to a tellible punishment, chiefly as a preventive against similar calamities. Many of the deaths which appearin the bills of mortality as cholera are, in fact, legalised murders, which in all human probability might have been pre vented by ordinary precautions. Not only, however, were such precautions omitted in past cases, but there seems little hope of improvement for the future. A striking instance of this criminal neglect is fur nished by the recent deaths in the Wandsworth-road. At the inquest held on the Rev. Mr. HARRISON, one of the late inhabitants of that locality, whose house had been fearfully visited by the pestilence, the jury returned as their verdict— " That the deceased died of Asiatic cholera, and that the disease broke out only in one place where the drain. age,was very defective; also that a large quantity of filth was allowed to accumulate at one or more of the houses; also that the tanks and the water in them were impure from their close proximity to the cesspools; and the jury c uld not separate without expressing a hope that the owners of the property would take immediate and effec tive means, by improved drainage and a different supply of water, ao prevent for the future, as far as human means can go, the recurrence of so terrible a calamity." Samples of the water found in the tanks of these houses were produced at the inquest. It was said that in some of the tanks there was a sediment seven or eight inches deep, and the assistant-surveyor of the Commissioners of Sewers said he considered that, from some overflowing of the sewer or from bad drainage, the soil had got into the well from which the houses were supplied. Thus, the unfortunate victims of the so-called pestilence have been literally drinking poison! In this case culpable neglect is very obvious, and without doubt in innumerable other instances similarly faulty, although, perhaps, not similarly apparent negligence, has been productive of equally murderous consequences. Public prayers are put up in the churches for the abatement of the pestilence, but it is mockery to raise the hands in supplication while instead of doing our best to rid ourselves of the evil we encourage it and cherish it by our apathy and our negligence. Another fertile source of poison, another legalised system of murder, to which we have again ' and again alluded in terms of the strongest repre hension—namely, the system of intramural burial, whereby death and the seeds of death, in their foulest and most infectious form, are treasured up in the midst;of the living—has been again brought before public notice by a letter from the eminent publisher, Mr. CnARLEs KNIGHT. Mr. KNIGHT complains that he has the misfortune to carry on his business in a house the back of which overlooks St. Bride's Churchyard. This churchyard is, it appears, crowded to repletion, and from the open graves fearful exhalations are continually arising. We will not further recapitulate these nauseous particulars. The question must suggest itself to every thinking mind —ought not some immediate steps to be taken to put an end to these fruitful sources of disease and death ? 13 not the neglect or indifference of public authorities in such matters somewhat synonymous to connivance with a system of wholesale murder? Three weeks have scarcely elapsed since we directed the public attention to the melancholy results of the temptations to which young and inexperienced under graduates are exposed at our English Universities. It is our painful duty this day to notice another case in which a young man, in the very beginning of his career, about to become a member of an arduous and honourable profession, has been com pelled to avail himself of the provisions of the Act for the Relief of Insolvent Debtors, in order to obtain his liberation from the imprison ment to which his ov% n thoughtless extravagance and the undue facilities afforded for plunging into debt, while he was supposed to be completing his educa tion, had subjected him. Such a course, however revolting to the feelings of a high-spirited youth, was essential, unless he wou ld b e con t en ted to linger out his exist ence i n a gao l , exposed to the demorali zation consequent upon such a habitation. There were some peculiar features about the pre sent case that distinguish it from those to which we formerly alluded. The first series of debts had been fully satisfied by the afflicted father, and the accommodating tradesmen had been duly cautioned that " he would be responsible for no further claims —that his son was then of age, and that if they again trusted him they should look to him alone for payment." And yet, despite this salutary warning the unfortunate young man was again involved to the extent of 9001. sterling, 650/. of which was due to the very persons whose former demands had been liquidated. The creditors too, exhibited a greater degree of modesty than on former occasions. There was an unwillingnes to come pro minently forward to complain of the insol vent for yielding to the temptations by which he had been surrounded, or to attempt a justification of the system. Four only had the hardihood to oppose the discharge. The literary proprietor of " the ruination shop" was absent. Indeed we know not whether be figured among the creditors, although the list could scarcely he complete without the name of the liberal and obliging Mr. THOMAS RANDALL, who placed implicit confidence "in the honour of that portion of the chivalry of England, who pass for purposes of education the period between raw (yes, very raw,) youth and matured manhood in the University ;" who never refused " whatever might be necessary for a gentleman," and who, according to his own statement, did not set himself up for that rara avis in :terris, a commercial angel without wings, selling no more to his customers than he could possible avoid, by persuading them that they might possibly wear their dirty gloves a little' longer, give their old hats a temporary gloss by the application of a damp brush, or trim the edges of their worn out shirt-collars, to prevent the rags show ing, and avert thus, for a time, the necessity of a new " set." We therefore incline to the supposition, that the name of the insolvent must have been recorded in the trade ledger of Mr. RANDALL, but that the latter person entertained a wholesome dislike of " the at mosphere of the Insolvent Court." The admirable decision of the Learned Gentleman (Mr. J. B. PARILY, Q.C.) 'who presided on the occasion merits the most unqualified approbation. It is deserving of the highest praise, not only as being in strict accord ance with both the letter and the spirit of the law which Mr. PARRY was called upon to administer but as inflicting " a heavy blow and great discourage ment" upon the pernicious system which it is so 'desirable to check by any lawful means. It appears from the proceedings, that the insolvent had entered the University in the year 1842, and that he received the usual allowance of 2501. per annum until he attained his full age of 21 years. His father, who had twelve children, had paid his debts in 1847, about which time he had obtained his degree as a Bachelor of Arts. His debts at present amounted to 9201., the debts contracted in Oxford being 6501. and those out of Oxford being 270/. Among the former there were—for hire of horses, dogs, and saddler's bills, 1991. 16s. 4d. ; for tavern bills, 105/. 1 ls. 11d.; cigars and billiards, 119/. ss. 10c1. ; con fectionary, jewellery, pictures, and fancy articles, 163/. 14s. Id. ; tailor and hatters, 226/. 13s. 9d. ; money borrowed, 882. 175.; furniture Si. 10s.; and books, 8/. the food for the mind bearing about the same proportion to the hire of horses and dogs, to saddlers, and tavern bills, to bills for cigars, billiards, confectionary, . _ jewellery, pictures, and fancy articles, that FALSTAFF'S halfpennyworth of bre,xcl did to his account for sack. The above list affords some slight illustration of the pursuits most in favour at the ancient seats of learn ing, and the nature of the "necessaries" furnished to the students who, teste Mr. Thomas RANDALL, " in a large proportion of cases have their bills paid after they leave the University instead of the money pass• ing through their hands, having only a certain sum allowed for necessary purposes." It must be a great consolation to the father of twelve children, who had restricted his own expenditure and curtailed the wants of the remainder of his numerous offspring, to be enabled to afford a favourite son the advan tages of a University education, to think that the " hope of the family," in place of wasting his time ovs'r musty folios, has been re creating himself with horses and dogs . ; that he had enjoyed "the fragrance of a mild Havanna," " taken i his ease in his inn," solaced himself with hot break fasts, exhibited his taste in jewellery, pictures, and fancy articles, and become a proficient in the use of the " cue"—an adept io the noble science of billiards. Above all, it must be satisfactory to the:parent's heart to know that his child cannot be inconvenienced by any temporary want of cash ; that although a loan of money may be hard to 1341 obtained, there can be no dif ficulty in procuring jewellery to any extent. Several gold watches in a few months clearly come under the head of necessaries, and. they can easily be converted into cash through the obliging aid of " Purbrick," the `" boots " at the Star. Seriously speaking, what father can subject his child to so fearful an ordeal unless possessed of means that will enable him to sacrifice a " loose thousand" when his son has concluded his course, and also contented to see him a slave to a variety of idle, expensive, and mischievous habits, that must materially prejudice his future prospects. We again emphatically caution the University authorities to adopt the measures necessary to abate the nuisance, or they will too late learn that they themselves will eventually become the sufferers. ME FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. A note had been received by M. KissiELorr, the Russian charge d'affaires in Paris, from Count bTES SELRODE, directing hint to communicate to the French Government that it is the intention of the Emperor of Russia to withdraw the whole of his troops now in Hungary within his own territories, so soon as the llungarians shall have laid down their arms, and have delivered up the fortresses at present in their possession to the Austrian forces ; the note further tates that the greater number of the Russian troops at present in Moldavia and Wallachia will also be withdrawn, and only a small number will remain in the principalities to ensure the preservation of tran quillity. se Lh e e tar e i l e e s et o io f n the of co P u l n •e c s i i l d s e - n G ts e , ne ir ra ie l, e-P ha re s s t id ak en e t n s, d pl a a n ee in the departments.

A supplement to the Wiener Zeitnng of the 23d, gives the following account Gf the present position of the various armies in Hungary : " The pricipal camp of Haynau on the 18th still in Temesvar; that of Jellachich at Uipecs. Arad is in possession of the Ist army corps, commanded by Schlick, which again was in connexion with Vilagos, and a strong vanguard thrown forward to Lippe. Rudiger's army corps, in combination with Paniutine's division, lay in cantonments at Vilagos. The reserve corps, the cavalry division Wallmoden, and Lichtenstein's 3d army corps, were placed not only on the Transylvanian r o ad, as f a r as Facset, but also in greater force on the road leading to Karauseber, for thither it was that the two corps of Guyon and Vecsey had retired, offering terms of negotiation and surrender. Up to the 20th, the 2d army corps had advanced from Comorn over the hills of Acs, and to the right of Nagy-Igmaud over Kis-Ber and Moor, had restored the communication with Stuhlmeis senburg, which place the Jablonowsky brigade had en tered without difficulty. Raab is held by th e b r i ga d e Teuchert, while the brigade Melzer marches on from Janoshaz3, to Sumeg, scattering the detached bands that show their faces here and there, and look to the Bakony forest as their last asylum. The insurgents under Klapka have all retreated to Comorn, where a truce was agreed upon till they had received a confirmation of the new s of George Y's defection." PRUSSIA. The Independence of Brussels publishes the follow ing, dated Berlin, 24th instant : .‘ Count de Bulow, the Under Secretary of State, has to-day communica ted to the F irst Chamber the docu ments relative to the restricted federation which has been announced for some days. These documents form a large folio volume of nearly 80 pages. They contain, after an introduction, the circular of the 28th of May to the Government of Germany, the dispatch of the 28th of April to our Ambassador at the Central Government relative to the position of Prussia as regards that Go vernment and the National Assembly, the protocols of all the conferences of Berlin from the 17th to the 26th of May, the final protocol of the 26th of May, the project of the constitution, the electoral law, the statute of offensive and defensive alliance, the declaration of the Saxon Ambassador of the 26th of May, that of the Envoy of Hanover, of the same date, the circular relative to the arbitration tribu nal at Erfuth, and the memorial explanatory of the constitution of the 28th of May; such are the contents of the first volume. The second part of the collection has a certain historical importance. It contains the ne gotiations of M. de Canitz at Vienna before the 26th of May, the instructions given in that mission to our envoy, the project of union submitted to Austria, the reply of Prince Schwartzenburg, and the communication to Austria of the result of the conferences. The end of the introduction, which takes the question from the beginning, recounts what has taken place at Frankfort, and justifies the policy of Prussia as far as concerns the Parliament. It says—Baden, Electoral Hesse, Nassau, Saxe-Weimar,Bernbourg, Brunswick, Saxe-Altenbourg, and Mecklenbourg-Strelitz, have adhered and ratified their adhesion. Grand Ducal Hesse, Mecklenbourg- Schwerin, Saxe-Coborg-Gotha, Meinengen, Olden bourg, Schwarzbourg, Rudolstadt, Reuss, Hamburgh, and Bremen have adhered, subject to ratifica tion. Dessau, Costhen, Sonderhausen, Waldeck, Lippe, Hesse Homboure, and Lubeck have mani fested their intention to adhere. Wurtemberg, Ho henzollern, Hechingen, Sigmaringen, Lippe Detmold, Lichtenstein, and Frankfort have not yet declared. Negotiations are pending with Bavaria. The relations to be established with Holstein and Lunenbourg have been reserved for the negotiations of the peace with Denmark. The Governments who have manifested their intention to adhere, and those who have not yet declared on the subject, have been requested to make known their definitive resolutions within the shortest possible delay, in order that the council of administra tion of the alliance may be in a position to understand its extent, and to take the necessary measures for the convocation of the Diet.' What is more important, perhaps, than the volume of which I now give you the circum stances substance is the speech of Count de Below, when he communicated the documents. The .following are its m tor more which necessitatedpoints he said, The Federal States supposed t wo conditions— enrge n ce the a t Berlin, a strong executive power, which wou ld maintain order at home and represent Germany abr oad, and a national Legislative Parliament. The first c om p rises the com ftetrhe detai ling A com mand of the army, rejects the directory, and only per mits the two great powers to be face t o face in t he Federal State. One great power c annot abandon to another its army and its representation abroad. Here there is no compromise possible. Austria has its point of support out of Germany, and she cannot be invested with the highest dignity of the empire in a purely German sense. Austria cannot make the German pro vinces participate in a Diet of the empire; her unitary constitution of the 4th March is opposed to it. This is a fact which we state without making any remark on it. Prussia alone can take on herself the supremacy. The question of our presidency is identical with that of the constitution and with the existence of the Federal State. That is why we have offered Austria en offen sive and defensive alliance. We have not wished to break aoundcr tho old bonds which united us to that power. We think, to solve the German question, there must be first a Federal State and then an alliance with Austria.' The orator, in quoting the text of Art. 11 of the Act of the Confederation, and Art. 6, of the Final Act, proved the legitimacy of the restricted federation, and added, The presidency of the federation will com prehend all the executive power, while the College of Princes will secure the participation to the legislative power. Bavaria wishes to transfer the executive power to the college, and make the presidency a simple instru ment. Prussia cannot consent to that proposition. We cannot sacrifice the conquest of our forefathers for an institution which will not favour German unity. In the interest of our power we should reject any organization which does not grant to Prussia the rights conferred on her by the project of May 26. The Federel State, if established, must be so under the presidency of Prussia. We must now put the question. Yes or no? The Go vernments have been invited to make known their defi nitive declaration. Then will take place, in as short a time as possible, the convocation of the Diet of the em pire. It may happen, that by this means we shall not attain the desired object. It is necessary above all things to show that the Government and people wish for a Federal State. If our allies now hesitate to follow us to the end, we shall then have to again ask our selves if we ought to make still further sacrifices to an unrealisable project. We shall have gone beyond our duty, and we shall have the pain of being obliged to abandon the solution of the problem to a better future.' The Chamber listened to the speech in at tentive silence, only interrupted by marks of approba tion. The galleries were full, as was also the portion reserved to the diplomatists. It was remarked that when M. de Bulow left the tribune, M. Camphausen advanced towards him and shook him heartily by the hand. The Chamber has fixed for Monday the continuance of the discussion on the motion of M. Camphausen, which had been adjourned for the production of documents." The Spanish General SERRANO has arrived at Berlin. The Countess NESSELRODE, wife of the Russian Prime Minister, died at Salzburgh on the 20th, of apoplexy. On the 25th the " May prisoners " were released, having undergone the three months' imprisonment to whieh they had been sentenced. Among them was Dr. WALDECK, brother of the celebrated WAL DECK. The prisoners were received at the gates of the gaol by deputations, who handed them into car . riages prepared for them, and escorted them to their respective abodes amidst the shouts of the people. The day was celebrated as a public holiday, and in the evening a crowd assembled, with the intention of serenading Dr. IVALDECK, but were d;.,persed by the military. The Second Chamber sat on the 25th, and M. DE RADOWITZ laid before the Members copies of the papers relating to the German question which had on the previous day been presented to the first Chamber by Count BuLow. In the course of his speech M. RADOWITZ made the following allusions to Austria : " It is known to you." said the orator, " through the note of the 23d of January (this celebrated note signed by M. de Bulow, which created so great a sensation in the German political world) that the King's Govern mentmawdees e r v e e d ry ue e e ff d o t r a t a simple question of submissionto come to an accord with the i Natonal Assembly of Frankfort —but i n vain. Th e matter (to Frankfort). Was it possible for the Government to submit unconditionally? No, it could not. Had it done so it would have sacrificed the established relations of the country and a glorious history without the slightest compensation. Look at what occurred at Dresden and Stutgardt, where, i n stead of a Germa n empire , German anarchy broke loose. The Government cou l d no t possibly think of its own interests alone, or act according to what ss as term e d th e dictates of a bold policy, and profit by the embarrassment of others. Thiss, would have been a most Machiavelic proceeding. Consequently Prussia resolved only to act upon the bases of the free assent and accord of other governments and national represents. tions. It proceeded with justice and mature considera tion. Its task was most difficult. Whilst some demanded that Prussia shoulda ct as the executor of the merely Frankfort National Assembly, others required her to re turn to the old Confederation. The difficulties were in creased partly by the, conduct of Austria towards Ger many, partly by the repugnance of certain midland states to all octroyment (of constitutions) , an d p artl y b y the objections raised by many honourable men in our own country against the union of Prussia to Germany, lest she should be enfeebled, in lieu of receiving strength or support from this union. The Government did not think it advisable to adopt the easiest course end return to the old system. She held that to be un just and unwise. Such a step would have been a powerful succour to the subversive party. It would have risked plunging our country in a deadly struggle— fetal, perhaps, to the monarchy. Nothing remained, therefore, for Prussia, but to propose an intimate union to such states and to such national assemblies as chose freely to unite with her. . • I will spare you the treaty of the Germanic Confederation. Thirty-three years of its history are before us. The labours of the Diet were limited to mere documentary produc tions. Not being able to succeed in mediating between governments and their states (assemblies), they were, of course, unequal to any positive exertions of their own. Thus the Diet, at last, fell into general con tempt The complaints raised against the policy of the Government cern , from so many sides, and are so contradictory that they mu,t be olas.-i an;: fir. vud before t:i y c b un derstood. Some accused Prussia of w,shirg to re-esta blish the old Confederation—others, that ale aimed at a centralized individual creation—others, that she sought to give precedence to democracy—others, that she wished to exclude the democratic element—whilst others, again, declared that she sought for the absorption of Germany in herself (Prussia). From this any reasonable man may find a hint for his benefit Most truly may it be said that the difficulties and complications to be overcome were so great, that had not the Government l i regarded it as a holy duty to make every effort to satisfy the cravings of the German people for unity, it would long since have shrunk back from the impediments thrown in its way by blindness and egotism. Prussia would lose less than any other state by prolonged hesitation. (This is an incontestable fact.] The next thing to be asked is, shall Germany lose all Austria? This question must be solved. Two conditions aro requisite to be fulfilled in regard to this point. First, it is necessary not to diminish previous convexity by a new intimate union; and secondly, it is requisite that the new union should not be of such loose character as to weaken an intimate federation. One of the main obstacles to a union be. tween Austria and Germany is generally considered to be the question of chiefdom. This is incorrect. Prussia has been most malignantly accused of seeking to circum. scribe Austria. The conditions put forward by Prussia are not the result of ambitious views. Austria would not fulfil her duties as member of a German Federal State; let the Central Power be invested in a Directory or in a [That is, alternating power.] Prussia, on the other hand, has her whole and sole European ex istence in Germany. Let us go back into history, and ask, has Austria ever conducted herself as a true Ger man state—has she ever been able so to do? If Austria could not act otherwise formerly, can she do so now, when her constitution of the 4th of March renders her own centralization more absolute? [By this is meant the declaration of all Austrian states forming one sole state, without regard to Germanic or other distinctions.] Thus if the German constitution were to be enacted after the principle of Austrian policy, the bond would be too lax ; whereas if Germany were consti tuted upon the basis of the intimate union of a federal state, Austria must be excluded." _ _ _ The following was the conclusion of the speech : " It only remains to cast a glimpse at the future. Gen tlemen, the Government is perfectly aware of its posi tion, and alive to the immense difficulties of its task; be assured it will pursue the fulfilment of its duty to the very utmost possible extent. Whether the task it has undertaken will be brought to a successful issue de pends—next to Almighty aid—upon the question whether our efforts are or are not supported by others. You, gentlemen, will doubtless contribute all in your power to this mighty consummation. You will bear wit ness, also, that it is not Prussia that has sought to ex clude Austria from the German Federal State. You will testify to the immense sacrifices which Prussia, a great European state, is prepared to make for the interest of German unity. You know the situation of Prussia upon the 3d of April, 1849 [the day on which the King re jected the Imperial dignity]. Judge, then, if Prussia merits the accusation of self-willed ambition levelled against her! No! Prussia is free from selfiA projects. She fulfils a most serious duty. She will not take--she will give—give to the grateful as well as to the ungrate ful. We will proceed to the work of federation—be it with few or with many voices. Prussia will insist upon the maintenance of the rights of the smallest state, but she also demands the rights for mighty Germany.— (Immense applause, joined in by the galleries)." SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN. The Statholderate of Schleswig appointed by the Central German Power has retired to Holstein, after issuing the following proclamation : PROCLAMATION OF THE STATHOLDERATE. " Schleswig-Holsteinersl—lt is known to you that Prussian and Danish Commissioners, under the media tion of the British Government, concluded, ou the 10th of July, an armistice, to which were added preliminaries of peace, and that these negotiations were ratified upon the 1 ith of the same month. In accordance with the 10th section of the convention for an armistice, the Go vernment of Schleswig-Holstein must be made over upon the 25th instant to a committee of administration, con sisting of Count Eulenberg and M. de Tillisch, for the duration of the armistice. The Statholderate has solemnly protested against the above-mentioned con ventions, as being opposed to the rights and welfare of the duchies. Directions have been issued to the Central Powers of Germany, to German Governments to execute practically the military stipulations of the armistice. Under the immediate existing circum stances, the Statholderate is not in a position to offer practical resistance to the stipulations of the convention. It yields, therefore, to the momentary pressure of events. It will henceforth quit its regular seat (of administra tion) in the toe n of Schleswig, and remove, together with the Ministerial departments of both duchies, and the Government of Schleswig-Holstein, to Kiel. " Whilst the Stadholderate makes this publicly known it renews its protest against the legality of the treaty of armistice and preliminaries of peace; it reserves to itself all the rights of the duchies, and of individual inhabitants of the land; and protests specially against all future acts of the Committee of Administration that may have pre.. judicial effects. The rights of the King of Denmark, now as heretofore, are limited to the government of Schleswig, in his quality of Duke of Schleswig-Holstein. The Statholderate, in virtue of the acknowledged power delegated to it by the Provisional Central Power and Representative Assembly of Schleswig-Holstein, the only legal powers, will continue to conduct the government of the duchies, under reserves for the rights of the Sove reign (Landeshernn)—[what Sovereign n —until the con clusion of definitive peace. All authorities and functionaries, spiritual and temporal, in the Duchy of Schleswig are hereby called upon, and the Statholderate expects from their acknowledged patriotism that they also will, during the actual existence of the commission of administration, continue to perform all duties connected with their functions, for the good of the land, so far and so long as they are able to connect this performance with their duty and conscience. We, however, summon all of you, beloved fellow-citizens of Schleswig, to support 'his severe trial with all the strength and nobleness of heart which are hereditary gifts in the Schleswig-Holstein race. The Statholderate deplores that it cannot longer conceal these facts from you. Our armaments will be continued. The duchies will be prepared for war, if an acceptable peace cannot be obtained. We trust to your well-tried patriotism and courage. We confide in the justice of Almighty God, [how will this please democrats who repudiate God's grace?], that after a short trial he will accord to a loyal people the full enjoyment of their rights and of all possible welfare. (Signed) " The Statholderate of Schleswig- Holstein. " REVENTLOW. " BESELER, &C. " Gottorf, August 23, 1849." ITAL Y. A letter from Rome of the 20th, says— " The recall of General Oudinot has produced a cer tain sensation. The step is looked on as a certain dis grace. The French intervention had three objects in view—to consolidate French influence in Italy, and to allow France to be prepared for events; that object is attained—to deliver Rome from the factions which op pressed it, and to open the gates to the Sovereign who had been driven away; that object has also been attained —and, thirdly, to co-operate in the formation of a Go vernment on liberal bases.: that object is pending, and the honour of attaining it now falls on the successor of General Oudinot. This latter has effected what he was enjoined to do. Ought he to be rendered responsible for the delay which has taken place owing to unex pected complications ? No. The motives of this re call are still unknown to us. General Rostolan, his successor, somewhat frightens the Romans. They at tribute to him an energy of will and of execution which would be admirably appropriated to the exi gencies of the moment, but which frighten them; Gaeta will feel the same anxity, of a nature to precipitate use ful resolutions. All, therefore, is for the best. M. de Rayneva), who remains alone at Gaeta (M. de Corcelles having been oblig(d, in consequence of an indisposition of a grave character, to go for change of air to Cas tellamara), there pursues with success, it is said, the dis. cussion of the bases of the Pontifical Government. Already better selections of delegates have been made for the provinces, and, amongst others, Monsigneur Pila for the districts of Viterba, Orvieto, and Civita-Vecchia. However, I know not what sadness still broods over Rome. Monseigneur Savelli, appointed Minister of the Interior and of Justice, has not yet assum e d th e direc tion of affairs, although here for nine days. The three cardinal-commissioners do not leave the Quirinal, where they have fixed their residence. Some cases of cholera are spoken of. The heat is extreme; we have a certain number of soldiers in the hospital, and in addition there are flocking in from the provinces a crowd of folks, more or less estimable, who come and shelter their past policy under the shade of the French flag. The day for General Oudinot's departure is not yet fixed. One of his aides-de-camp left on the 17th for Gaeta. He probably awaits his return. Offers of loans abound." Notwithstanding the vituperation lavislaed on the Provisional Government of France by M. DE FALLoUx and his colleagues, for having organized the Ateliers Nationaux during the days which followed the February revolution, they themselves are, it appears, doing in Rome the very thing which they blamed the Provisional Government for doing in Paris—they are actually organizing Ateliers Nationaux. The Gironale di Roma publishes a long regulation for the public works of beneficence, intended to pro cure work to able-bodied men without employment. The measure is d ec l a r e d to be only temporary. The applica n t s must b e R omans, or persons w h o h ave b een settled five y ears at R ome, or else foreigners who have married Rom an women . Minors under 18, and persons u contract. are The excluded. system d ri 'she worksdts discipline l a i n r are t o to be allottedn ab le to by work, be followed in the works of beneficence is to be military as far as possible. The workmen actually inscribed are organized in six companies of 500 workmen each ; every company has 1 director, 5 assistants, 25 ser geants, and 50 corporals. The other articles relate to mere details. It appears from a letter written by the Austrian o artillery td officer, I.TcuATars, and published in the s Freund, of Vi enna, t h at balloons have b een bombardment of V en i ce. I t appears used a f t o e for the hte that the operations were ,suspended for want of a proper vessel exclusively adapted to this mode of warfare, as it became evident, after a few experiments had been made, that, as the wind blows nine times out of ten from the sea, the balloon inflation must be conducted on board ship; and this was the case on July the 15th, when two balloons armed with shrap riels aseerA , d from the deck of the Volean.) war steamer, and aLtai;ti-t1 a distance of 3,500 fa' hunts, in the direction o Venice ; and exactly at the moment calculated upon, e., at the expiration of twenty three minutes, the explosion took place. The captain of the English brig Frolic, and ether persons then at Venice, testify to the extreme terror and the moral effect produced on the inhabitants. A stop was put to further exhibitions of this kind by the necessity of the Vulcan going into docks to undergo repairs. MONEY and COMIVIERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. There was a dull market for Cotton at Liverpool yes terday, the sales not exceeding 4,000 bales, at Monday's prices.—Railway Shares were inactive, and prices fluctuating. In Mark-lane to-day Monday's prices are current for most articles, with a very dull sale and moderate arrivals. The advices from the Continental Stock Markets no tice generally very little activity. At Amsterdam the Two-and-a-half per Cents. were 524. Reasoning upon the advantages which would accrue to the United States by the annex ation of Canada, a local journalist observes :—" Canada, it is true, costs Britain annually a larger sum than any improvement in the country would ever enable us to repay ; but this is easily explained by the long frontier line which she is obliged to maintain fortified, and the standing army which she keeps up on account of our proximity to the States. These sources of na tional expenditure would of course disappear, if the whole of the continent of North America were under one Government. The expense of collecting the Customs revenue would be merely that of maintaining a Custom house at Quebec and Montreal, and three or four revenue cutters in the St. Lawrence. Again, the consumption of British manufactures (broad cloth, hardware, &c.), in the Western States, is at the present very large ;and increases annually. It is a well known truth that goods shipped at Liverpool,and destined for Chicago, can reach their destination at a less cost by the St. Lawrence route than by New York and Buffalo. Thus, if Lower Canada were alone to remain British, the inhabitants of the Western States would either re ceive their goods via New York, and pay a higher price for them, or viii. Quebec, and pay to the Canadian Custom house a tax which would not exist if the whole of Ca nada were annexed. To the manufacturers of New York, Massachusetts, &c., the annexation of Canada would afford a large and profitable market. Lowell would easily replace Manchester, and its sales would be nearly doubled 'by the transaction. Notwith standing all that some people have said of ' the American navy, it is certain that ships could be built cheaper at Quebec, if we were an nexed, than in any part of the union. American capital would soon raise a fleet on the St. Lawrence, which would give America an immense advantage over Britain. Of better materials, and destined to last longer than the American ships, and con structed at an infinitely less cost than Britain could build them, our navy would soon monopolize a large share of the trade of the world, and advance the general interests of American commerce to a degree it will not reach without us for many years to come." In the Foreign Exchanges there was not much doing yesterday afternoon, nor did the rates vary materially. Sales of Money Stock have been made this morning, and prices are about 4to 4 per cent. lower. Consols opened at 924 4, and have since been 924 4 for present transfer. The New Three-and a-Quarter per Cents. have been quoted 934 4, and the Three per Cents. 924 4. The premium on Exchequer bills is lower, being 40:4. to 435. East Indian Bonds are 765. premium. Bank Stock is 199 to 1994. Money is still telt to be in more demand. There is neither elasticity nor animation in Foreign Stocks, and altogether there have not been above halt-a dozen bargains. Portuguese Four per Cent. Bonds have realised 284; Spanish Five per Cent. Bonds have rea lised 174 to 18k; Austrian Five per Cent. Stock has been at 84. Most of the other securities are at merely nomi nal values, say Peruvian, 52 to 53; Brazilian, 85 to 87; and Dutch Two and-a-Half per Cents. 53 to 534. The numerous railway meetings held yesterday went off, probably, not much to the satisfaction of those who have extravagant, or even moderately sanguine expec tations of a rally in the value of this class of property, but it is seldom that depression comes alone. The whole railway interest is under a cloud, and it may require time for it to emerge, but that we are now, at the blackest period, seems highly probable. The smaller companies are fully expected to get on better, being comparatively free from burdensome guarantees, and the larger undertakings will be daily enabled to bring into working order some of the branches upon the capital of which they are already paying interest. The Share Market is not worse, although very dull, and there are, indeed, one or two cases of improvement. South-Western have ranged from 334 to 344; Great Western have been done at 73 to 734; Great Northern - at 84 to 84; North British at 124 124; South Wales at 13 to 14; and Midland at 62. Caledonian, after declin ing to 204, have rallied to 214; North-Western continue flat. East Indian are 34. BRITISH FUNDS TtliS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCH. (From the Official List.)
