We cordially participate in the feeling which Lord Joux RUSSELL ascribed to the supporters of Mr. HENLEY'S motion for a general reduction of ten per cent. in all salaries of the Government departments at home and abroad. "It was not exactly the motion he should have desired, but upon the whole it was for a reduction, and as it proposed economy for its object, it was desirable that the motion should be supported." In fact, it would be a step in the right direction, which if judiciously and properly followed up, would speedily direct the attention of public men, of the great officers of State, to the monster grievance under which the country has suffered for the last thirty years, a grievance the intensity of which has been enormously aggravated within the last five years. It would be, we say, a " step in the right direction," but one falling far short of the dis tance to be surmounted, one-twentieth part of which it would not reach. Still it would be a begin- ning, and, " Dimidium cacti, que ccepet habet," its success would encourage the Financial Reformers, and perhaps ultimately lead to the attainment of complete and decisive victory. The Honourable Gentleman grounded his motion vn the unquestionable fact, that there had been of late years an enormous reduction in the prices of all the necessaries of life ; that the cost of every article was considerably less than that for which it could have been obtained some time ago. This extraordinary alteration *he chose (erroneously) to ascribe to the recent commercial legislation of the country ; in other words, to the removal of protective imposts and the estab lishment of free trade principles. Now, in this he was altogether mistaken. It is not because commo dities have become generally cheaper, but because there has been a great " appreciation" in the value of money, the effect of which has been to reduce the relative values of all articles the prices of which were fluctuating. This appreciation has been produced, not by the measure of 1846, or those founded on the same principle which had been carried during the four preceding years, but on the monetary code es tablished by the Acts of 1819 and 1844, the neces sary result of which has been to diminish the circula tion of the country by some 40 or 50 per cent., and consequently to increase the pressure of taxation and of all fixed payments in an inverse ratio. As an ab straat principle, if there were no fixed charges it would be a matter of little importance whether the circulating medium in the country amounted to 20,000,000/. or to 100,000,0001. sterling. In the former case four shillings would obtain as many of the comforts or luxuries of existence as 11. would in the latter. All would depend on the purchasing power of the nominal " pound." Bat, unfortunately, there is an enormous national debt, .the interest of which must be liquidated under any circumstances, and the effect of any rising, or rapid appreciation of the value of money, is to increase the burden of that debt in a si milar proportion. If, as Mr. HENLEY truly asserted, there has been a general reduction of prices to the extent of 25 per cent., it is manifest that the fund holders and great landowners, whose rents are fixed under old leases, would receive full justice, and could not complain if 75 per cent. were paid on the amounts to which they had been entitled in more prosperous times, under a different monetary system—the system which was in force when those very contracts were entered into. It is true that they would receive fewer pieces of the coin called a pound sterling, but " the rose by any other name would smell as sweet," and if they are paid what would prccure for them comforts equal to those they could formerly have enjoyed, every principle of equity and justice would be completely satisfied, The Hon. Member for Oxfordshire would reduce all public salaries by ten per cent., but this would not meet the real difficulties or the justice of the case, unless the public debt and the expenses of all the na tional establishments were proportionably reduced. The salaries affected by his motion, if carried out to the utmost extent, would not amount to one thirteenth of the national income, and, consequently, would only afford a remedy for one-thirteenth part of the existing evil. The parties cer- THE SITN. LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 21, 1849. tainly could not complain, because they wonld practically receive as much as was paid for similar duties before the introduction of the present monetary system, but it would afford but trifling and most inadequate relief to the industrious classes, whose labour, their only capital, would still be taxed by 29.30ths more than it ought to be. The true remedy would be either to reduce all fixed payments as well of public officers as of public creditors, of landowners, and all others having claims under contracts entered into previous to the enactment of the present monetary code, or to return to the ancient system, under which the nation enjoyed unparalleled prosperity, and was enabled to sustain the enormous expenses of the war. The former of these courses would be impracticable, in consequence of the difficulty of adjusting the various contracts to the scale of the period when they were entered into, but it would be perfectly easy to achieve the latter, and to return to a perfectly equitable system, under which no class or individual would be aggrieved, where the full justice would be rendered to the entire community. That, then, is the great object to be attained, and for that the in dustrious classes—for they are the chief sufferers— should struggle with all their power. Every argu ment adduced in favour of Mr. HENLEY'S motion would apply with tenfold force to the latter arrange ment. That, then, we should wish to see adopted, but in the meantime we would accept the proposition of Mr. HENLEY as an instalment of justice, an instal ment the granting of which would eventually insure the full satisfaction of all the reasonable desires of the people; and we would not refuse to accept it because it was brought forward or supported on erro neous and mistaken principles. Profound interest will be felt by the reflective portion of the community in the prolonged discus sion which commenced last evening in the House of Lords on the foreign policy of the English Go vernment. With the skill or the eloquence of the debaters we have nothing whatever to do, our attention being wholly absorbed by the paramount importance of the subject forming the theme of their observations. That subject antpeextencdaendtinoevnet, over and length and breadth of the En o k r i n p g e a b c r e i between e p o u u w Sp ar ea r sienlvvOel: an n d d t o h u e r n qu ei e g s h ti b O o n ur o s f . say, without exaggeration, the debate was pose, nothing ge may less than a contest between the present and the obsolete systems of diplomacy as represented by those statesmen who sympathise in the cause of De mocracy and those who sympathise in the cause of Absolutism. It was only the revival of a contention witnessed at the commencement of the century; for as CANNING endeavoured in former times to effect an alliance between Great Britain and all other Consti tutional Powers, so does PALMERSTON now-a-days; and as ABERDEEN strives to force the country into the deadly embraces of the AUTOCRAT and his myr midons, SO did CASTLEREAGH of yore. The latter project is essentially conducive to warfare, see ing that it necessitates a rupture with the powers of Western Europe, those being the countries in our own immediate neighbourhood ; whereas the former, for an exactly contrary reason, is necessarily and inevit ably of a pacific tendency. Now, England has paid too dearly for her insane subserviency to the Castle reagh school of diplomacy, to be very easily entrapped again into the pitfalls of pecuniary embarrassment. A national debt of 800,000,0001. is to John Bull the best of all Remembrancers as to the temerity of the foreign policy advocated by the apologists of despotism, and glorified by the aristocratic panegyrists of the KAISER and the AUTOCRAT. Every year since that malign policy was first in the ascendant, as a nation, we have been paying " through the nose" for the satisfaction of a clique of absolutists. England has suffered too bitterly from the effects of her former foolishness, therefore, to be bamboozled by the cajoleries, the sophisms, and the misrepresentations of those ultra conservative diplomatists whose interest it is to render England pliable to the stubborn will of a northern coalition, instead of allowing her to assume her rightful and natural position as the leader of all emancipated nationalities, as the arbiter of the destinies of the world, as the avenger of injus tice, and as the mould or the prototype of every new born Constitutional Government. The illustrious statesman at the head of the Foreign Department of the Administration has recognised from the first the necessity of impelling the foreign influence of Great Britain along the only channel ac cordant with our national dignity, congenial to our insular interests, and obedient to our constitutional destinies. He has recognised the advisability of making the preservation of amity with the rest of the world compatible with the retention of our political honour, and with the enhancement of the historical glory of our reputation. Witness this ! not only the records of his long and brilliant career as Foreign Secretary, but in a particular and paramount degree the course of his policy during the anni mirabill 1848 and 1849, years of appalling unexpectedness and tremendous difficulty. Upon one or two points it would have been well, doubtless, for the fame of Lord PALMER STON had he acted with more decision, and spoken with less ambiguity, but reviewing the whole of the tumultuous epoch across which he has conducted the British Government without any diminution of our national dignity, and without rashly committing the fortunes of the country to the hazard of battle—we do conceive that he has displayed the most patriotic integrity, the most vigilant circumspection, and the most masterly capacities both in diplomacy and states manship. Let us for a moment bear in remembrance the awful catalogue of events which have transpired in dizzy succession during the past eighteen months of Lord PALMERSTON'S labours at the Foreign-office, those sudden and stupendous calamities which have agonized Europe to her very entrails, which would have been sufficient to bewilder an ordinary amount of wisdom and a moderate share of experience, calamities enumerated yesterday in the admirable harangue of the Earl of CARLISLE. Dur ing that interval England has seen the disruption of nearly all the nationalities of the Continent ; the explosion of many consecutive revolutions ; the expatriation of dynasties ; the overturning of thrones ; the abrogation of treaties; the creation. and the annihilation of constitutions. She has seen the battle for life and death between opposing classes. She has seen liberty betrayed; the integrity of dominions violated ; the freedom of races outraged. She has seen kings perjured who had been annointed with the chrism of popularity. She has seen the perfidy of sovereigns to the people, and the ingratitude of the people to their liberators. She has seen Paris twice barricaded, twice swept with cannon, thrice under military occupation ; Vienna twice in the hands of the population, its EMPEROR twice com pelled to fly, its walls once battered down by artillery; Berlin in a continual state of seige ; Denmark invaded ; Frankfort delivered up to rapine and bloodshed ; Baden reduced to obe dience by the bayonet; Catalonia ravaged by civil warfare, and the other Spanish provinces abandoned to the miseries of internecine strife; Pesth and Prague bombarded and stormed ; Milan lost and won ; Mes sina beaten down into ruins ; Venice assaulted by land and sea ; Bologna attacked ; Ancona occupied, and Rome subjected to a siege on her old Aurelian battlements ! " During all these events," ex claimed the Earl of CARLISLE, after an enu meration of some of the most prominent in the foregoing catalogue, " my Noble Friend was giving his nights and days to negotiations with the single view of averting the calamities of war, and preserving so far as he could the peace of the world." And, so far as England is concerned, has not that peace been conserved ? Good GOD ! supposing the fortunes of Britain had been committed to the care of my Lord ABERDEEN, what might not have been the position of the country at this present moment ? Granted that Lord PALMERSTON, according to our judgment, might have acted more judiciously and more nobly for the cause of universal freedom —had he demanded a guarantee of moderation from the Neapolitan BOURBON prior to the second subjugation of Sicily—had he perempto rily required some explanation from France of her ulterior designs before the departure of her expedi tionary army to Civita Vecchia —had he insisted upon some reference to the English Cabinet from the Cabinet of Vienna before the Austrians dared to set the whole of western Europe at defiance by calling in the AUTOCRAT to her unholy assistance : yet upon all these points the Foreign Secretary has still to pronounce his final explanations, and, even taking these things into consideration, we cannot but regard his entire policy, its sleepless vigilance, its pervading sincerity, and its pacific and conciliatory tendency, as entitled to the admiration and gratitude of England. At length the pressure from without has been acknowledged within the walls of Parliament. The loud and incessant demands for a great and comprehen sive measure of financial reform have been recognised by the popular branch of the Legislature. The representatives of the people participate in the feel ings of thrift by which their constituents are animated ; and a resolution has been adopted, pledg ing the House of Commons to a decided course of economy. Nothing could be more distinct or une quivocal than the motion of the Hon. Member for West Surrey, which was eventually carried, although by a small majority, notwithstanding the Ministerial opposition. It was not a mere abstract proposition, declaring " that no greater amount of taxation ought to be levied on the people than is required for the good and efficient government of the country," or " that a vigilant superintendence should be exercised over the expenditure, so that every reduc tion should be made that would not be of detriment to the public service." Such vague and uncertain in timations would have had no practical effect; they would at once have been accepted by any Ministry'who, whatever might be their actions, however large their expenditure and oppressive the taxation levied on the people, would have admitted the abstract truth of the propositions. But Mr. DRUMMOND'S motion was of a very different character—it boldly and decidedly affirmed " that a greater amount of taxation is levied upon the people than is required for the good and efficient government of the United Kingdom ; and that large sums are expended in supporting needless places, extravagant salaries, and unnecessary works and estab lishments ; that the present taxation of the country depresses all classes, and espe cially the labouring classes, by diminishing the fund for the employment of productive labour," and concludes with a distinct expression of the opinion of the House, " that adequate means should be forthwith adopted to reduce the expenditure of the Government." These are the facts that have been put forward by every financial reformer, that have been reiterated by COBDEN, by MACGREGOR, by WAsoN, and a host of others, that have been loudly and unanimously corroborated at the various meet ings that have been held throughout the entire country, and the same conclusion has been arrived at and proclaimed throughout the length and breadth of the land, that " adequate means must forthwith be adopted to reduce the expenditure of the Govern ment." The House of Commons has, at length, echoed the voice of the people, and Ministers can no longer remain deaf to the universal demand. If they desire to retain power, they must comply with the temperate but determined expression of popula r ft eling. The present motion was not of a party character. It was not intended to damage or to advance the in.. terests of any section or class, or to occasion any change on the Treasury benches. Heretofore it was too much the fashion to disregard the real merits of the question before the House, and to consider only its possible results on the interests of the great parties. Hence numbers of these parties were frequently to be found speaking in favour of and subsequently voting against a measure—deciding contrary to their own opinions because it received the support of others to whom they were generally opposed in political ques tions. Mr. DEUMMOND well exposed this inconsis tency, which is common to all sections of the House. On the occasion of his previous motion, to which we long since directed the public attention, a mo tion which should have been carried by a large and decided majority, but which was ne gatived owing to the ridiculous jealousies of opposing politicians, a Conservative Member stated " that he quite agreed in the motion, but could not think of going into the same lobby with the Hon. Member for the West Riding ;" while, on the other hand, a professing Liberal said, " I quite agreed with your motion, but when I saw the Conservatives sup porting you, I thought it high time to be off." Thus it has ever been. The old Machiavellian maxim— " Divide et impera," has been closely followed, and Ministers have ruled not by their own strength, but by the divisions and dissensions that have prevailed among their opponents. Everything brought forward for the general good of the nation, for the benefit of the industrious classes, was thus postponed or ne glected, and the same unfortunate results attended out-door agitation. United, the people would have been irresistible; their wishes would have been promptly carried into execution, but differing on trifling points, and each refusing to make the slightest concession, they have suffered themselves to be coerced and guided, and their reasonable desires to be slighted and despised by a weak minority, whose only real power consisted in the conflicting opinions and want of cordial co-operation in the multitude. There are now, however, manifest symptoms of an improvement in this respect, both in and out of Par liament. On the division on Mr. DRUMMOND'S mo tion, Whig and Tory, Conservative and Radical, Protectionist and Free-Trader supported the resolu tion, and the natural result followed—there was a small but sufficient majority ; and the House is now pledged to institute a searching investigation into the whole taxation and expenditure of the country, with a view to the adoption of such remedies as the exigen cies of the case may require ; while at the meeting which took place on Wednesday of the Metropo litan Parliamentary and Financial Reform Associa tion, Mr. FEARGUS O'CoNNon, on the part of the Chartist body, declared, "that recognising in the movement a means to an end, and not an end in itself, he had arrived at the determination of giving it his cordial support, and of assisting the coalition out of doors, in order to meet the coalition of Whig and Tory within." We congratulate the country on these events, affording such propitious auguries as to the future triumphs of the popular cause. If all parties should henceforward consent to merge their own trifling differences and to labour together, energeti cally and zealously, fer the general welfare, there can be no doubt but that all their desires will speedily be crowned with complete and unequivocal success.

THE FRENCH REP ITBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The Prince of CANINO, whose arrest at Orleans we yesterday announced, has been informed that he will be permitted to travel to Havre under surveil lance, and to embark there for either England or America. It was rumoured yesterday in Paris that M. GUIZOT had landed at Havre, and that he would visit the capital before proceeding to his estate at Val-Richer. A long discussion took place in the Legislative Assembly on the presentation of a petition from General CASTELNIU and various other offic'ers who had been placed upon half-pay by the Provisional Government. Colonel CHARRAS jus tified the conduct of the Provisional Govern ment, and General FADvIER replied to Colonel CHARRAS. Whilst FADVIER was speaking a " scene" occurred between M. LAGRANGE and M. DE COISLIN, which ended in both gentlemen leaving tie hall, accompanied by their seconds for the purpose of settling their dispute by an appeal to arms. The affair, was ultimately arranged without bloodshed, mutual explanations having been given and received.—M. Di.r- FAURE, to his honour be it spoken, refuses to lend himself to the vengeance and avarice of the members of the Rue de Poictiers Club. lie will not consent to the wholesale dismissal of all Republican functionaries demanded by the corrupt and place-hunting coterie, whose chiefs are MM MOLE, TRIERS, and FAUCHER. The Presse contains the following on the reports which have been current relative to a coup d'etat being in contemplation during the recess of the Assembly : " A coup d'etat may be risked when one has in one's hands the command of the army intoxicated with vic tory, and when a head is staked against a crown; but when it is necessary to borrow both the hand and the sword of another, a coup d'etat would be difficult and improbable. It is well known that a coup d'etat, which would change the constitution other wise than in the terms provided for by Art. 3, would immediately absolve Barbes, Blanqui, and Raspail, and bring back those who had been condemned by de fault. The army would be divided, and the Constitution thus violated would find more than one defender, whose impatient sword would wish to start from the scabbard. It any attempts to change the Constitution by violence had been intended it would have been accomplished on the 27th May. But now that the Legislative Assembly has been allowed to assemble peaceably, there could be no pretension felt of making the nephew of Napoleon play the part of Cmsar, in reviving the title of Im perator. That this dream has not arisen in some minds is more than we would say, for we have heard it talked of, but what we would say is, that it is a dream which must vanish as soon as the eyes are opened. Be sides who would wish to change a limited power for an absolute one ? The weight would only be the heavier, and the punishment more cruel. The parties who have talked of the reception given to the President at Amiens may therefore set themselves at rest, for what can result from such events ? If it is not true than an usurpation is in contemplation, is it more true that any manifesta tion is in contemplation in favour of Monarchy, and to crush universal suffrage by general acclamation ? The prorogation of the Assembly may therefore take place without danger. If the Republic is to fall, it will be by the want of power of the Republicans de la Vedic, it will be saved by the weakness of those of the Lendemain."

The issue of notes has increased nearly 1 million in Paris, and a million in the br anc hes. There are upwards of two millions more to the credit of the Treasury. Private lodgment accounts have been reduced 6} millions. The other items present no remarkable difference. The Moniteur publishes a report from M. Du- FAuxtE, the Minister of the Interior, to the PREM. DENT of the Republic, recommending several physi cians and clergymen attached to the hospitals of Paris for the decoration of the Legion of Honour, in consequence of the zeal displayed by them during the prevalence of the cholera. The report is fol lowed by a decree of the PRESIDENT, conferring the decoration on the persons recommended by the Mi nister. The committee on the prorogation of the Legisla tive Assembly has not yet agreed as to the period or the terms. It is believed that the Ministers will re commend that the Assembly adjourn from the let of September to the Ist of October.

BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT THE LONDON STOCK-EXCHANGE, JULY 19. Namur and Liege, 6—Sambre and Meuse, 2%. ITALY. Accounts have been received from Rome to the 11th. General OUDINOT has dismissed all persons holding office who had been appointed either by the Republican Government or by Pius IX., and has substituted for them, persons who either held office under GREGORY XVI., or are known for their attachment to the Jesuit regime of thatyon tiff. This is as regards subordinate offices ; with regard to the higher offices, Prince Messisro is re stored to his office of Director of the Post-office, and Prince COMPAGNONO is Inspector. General as before. A Commission has been formed composed of LUNATI, to the Finances; of CAVALIERS, to the Public Works ; and of Rossi, to the Interior. It is said that MAMIANI had been named for Foreign Affairs, but had declined to accept the office, which CORBOLI is said to have then accepted. It is now ascertained that the strangers at Rome may be thus classified :—Poles, 200 ; French, 50 ; Spaniards, Germans, and other foreigners, 100 ; Ita. lians, not Romans, 3,000 ; all the rest Romans or Romanese. GARIBALDI has succeeded in making his escape good from the French division, who were put upon a false scent, and he is now in the mountains of the Abruzzi. The conduct of the French soldiers in Rome is likely to lead to some unpleasantness between the French Republic and that of the United States of America. It appears that the residence of Mr. BROWN, consul of the United States, was violated by some French soldiers in order to make an arrest. The soldiers had no respect to the American flag, and insulted the consul's wife, and wounded one of his ser vants. Mr. BROWN :strongly protested, and struck his flag and withdrew. A letter from Venice up to the 4th, states that an engagement took place on that day between the Venetian and the Austrian fleets, and that after a sharp contest the Austrians were compelled to retire. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday amounted to 800 bales ; the market was steady, but without ani mation, there being more sellers than buyers.—The market for Railway Shares was fist, and prices rather lower. Very important, though not unusual, changes oc curred in the Bank of England liabilities and assets last week, but all traceable, more or less, to the termination of the financial quarter, and the payment of the dividends. The great increase in the note circulation would be still more more gratifying, however, could it be de monstrated that it arises from activity in trade, a circumstance of which we cannot judge until the effect of the dividends has passed away, seeing how exten sively the public and private deposit accounts have been changed, viz., to the amount of seven million sterling in one week. There is a reduction in other securities which would augur no improvement in general trade, but this, it should be remembered, is the result of re payments of loans made after the transfer books for stock re-open. Of the bullion it is unnecessary to say anything, as it is affected in the return before us by the same causes as the other items. A comparison with the statement of the previous week gives the following results : Notes Issued ... ... 27,926,690 Decrease ... 146,205 Rest ... 3,212,670 Increase ••• ••• ••• 79,580 Public Deposits ... 3,104,227 Decrease 4,380,985 Other Deposits ... ... 11,468,268 Increase ... 2,638,960 Seven Day and other Bills ... 1,094,792 Increase ... 67,072 Government Securities ... 14,432,877 Increase 69,917 Other Securities ... .. 9,685,432 Decrease ... ... 225,538 Notes ... 8,473,415 Decrease ... 1,378.500 Bullion ... 14,767,923 Decrease ... 207,517 Active Circulation 19,453,275 Increase ... ... 1,232,295 The Foreign Exchanges were quoted yesterday after noon for three months' Bills at almost precisely the same rates as on Tuesday, viz. Paris, 25 60 to 65 ; Antwerp, 25 70 to 75; Hamburgh, 13 13 to 134-; and Trieste, 12 to 12 6. Amsterdam was 12 21 to 21, and Frankfort 121. The exports of the precious metals from London during the week to Thursday last were as follow: Gold coins, Hambro' 530 oz., and the Mauritius, 3,1141. Silver coin to Hamdurgh 149,918 oz., Belgium 25,000 oz. Silver to Hambro' 14,800 oz., Rotterdam 30,000 oz., and to Belgium 24,000 oz. From the manufacturing districts we have very favour able accounts again. At Leeds the demand in the Cloth halls has been active; at Bradford a good deal has been done in pieces, and at Manchester the manufacturers are largely under contract, and indisposed to enter into fresh engagements, unless at higher prices. The Funds are very quiet, but firmer this morning. Consols have been 93 to for Transfer, and are now 93* f. For Timo they are 931 I. The New Three and-a• Quarter per Cents. have realised 93j to 94*. and the Three per Cent. Annuities 93 to I. Bank Stock has been firm at 199. Exchequer-bills are 475. to 50s. pre mium. India Stock is at 243. In the Foreign Market there are not many changes, if we except Mexican Stock, which is better, being 27 to 4. The Mexican Government, it appears, has an idea of changing the agency, because of the commission charged for managing the debt having been too large, but no doubt we shall have explanations OA this point. Portuguese Four per Cents. are 30 to 1. It has been agreed that Mr. Thornton shall send the address of congratulation to Count Thomar, and there is a hope that a sense of justice will actuate the Government at Lisbon not to deduct the 25 per cent. Spanish Five per Cents. are 18* 4. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have been at 51k. Railway Shares are firm generally, and in one or two cases rather higher. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK.

SPAIN. Madrid journals of the 15th have arrived. The session of the Cortex was formally prorogued on the 14th. The decree of prorogation was read to both Houses by General NARVAEZ. There was no Bolsa list published on the 15th. GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. AUSTRIA and HUNGARY. It was rumoured in Vienna on the 14th and 15th that another sanguinary conflict had taken place be tween the Hungarians and the Imperialists near Comorn, but the issue of it was not known, some ascribing victory to the Imperialists, others whis pering that they had been defeated. Seeing that no official bulletin has been published on the subject, there can be but little doubt as to the issue of the conflict. The Hungarians have gained another bril liant victory, the third within the course of a few days. Of the defeat of LUDERS by BEM, and of the expulsion of the Russians from Transylvania, there can be no doubt whatever, and as little of the defeat of JELLACHICH. PASKEWITCH and Ilivrau appear to be no more a match for the Magyars than were WINDISHGRATZ and WELDEN. DEMBINSKI and GI3ORGEY appear to have completely out-gene railed their opponents. They effected their junc tion at Gyongyos, as we mentioned yesterday ; and no doubt immediately afterwards attacked the Im perialists in the neighbourhood of Comorn. _ - In Comorn a white and a black flag are waving on the battlements, as symbols of the contest for life or death. The German papers state that the cholera is raging fearfully at Coreorn, and then they add the following description of the sufferings of the Austrians :—" In the Austrian camp the sickness, too, is greatly on the increase ; there is a complete series of hospitals, at various intervals, along the centre line from the head-quarters to the capital, and all are filled to over flowing. Yesterday no less than 446 sick soldiers were brought to Vienna." The prevailing distemper is dysentery, which car ries off the greatest number. The number killed in the Hungarian war by the sword and sickness, to say nothing of martial law, is incalculable, and many a stout heart would quail if the list could be laid before him. Many—very many—also are wounded, maimed, and incapacitated for life, a burden to themselves and others. And who can estimate the misery and woe brought into the families of the deceased—the nume rous widows and fatherless children, the bereaved mothers and afflicted sisters ? And when will all this end ? How much human blood must be spilt, how many hundreds, nay thousands, more victims must be offered ere the sword shall rest in the scabbard, and peace flourish in ,the land! The mysterious future alone can tell. The armies of Russia once set in motion are not likely to retrace their steps quietly into their own land, and after the fall of Comorn, and the settlement of the state of things in Hungary, whither will they wend their way ? The Russians were to enter Pesth on the 15th. They dispatched two detachments, one to Moor and the other to Bitske, to establish communications with the Austrian army of the Danube. The defeat of JELLAcnicir and OTTINGEU by the Magyars took place on the sth. As the Ban JELLACHICII lately demanded, by a flag of truce, the garrison of Peterwardein to sur render, the commander of the garrison replied—" lie knew well how affairs stood, and that the so c a ll e d Ban of Croatia would soon find himself surrounded, and with his whole army he destroyed." BADEN. The Prussians have destroyed the bridge at Rad stadt, by means of which the besieged were continually making sallies. PRUSSIA. The exchange of the ratifications of the armistice between Denmark and Prussia took place at the British Embassy, at Berlin, on the 17th. The elections, so far as the result was known, have been favourable to Ministers, as the Liberals have, generally speaking, abstained from taking any part in them, in order that there may be no pretence fir considering the Chamber elected under the octro yee charter, and according to the new royal electoral decree, in any manner a national representation. TURKEY. In consequence of the remonstrances of the Rus sian and Austrian Ambassadors, the llungarian Envoy has been compelled to take his departure from Constantinople. NEV7POILT.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. (THIS DAY) HOUSE OF COIVEVIONS. The.SPEAKER took the Chair shortly atter Tvrclve o'clock. NEW WI 11. Foa LONDON. Mr. BIIOTHERTON moved that the Speaker should issue a new writ for the City of London, in the room of J:IMPS Pattison, E:q., deceased.—Agreed to. The report on Hudson's Divorce Bill was further con sidered, and agreed to. After the presentation of several petitions, Mr. J. O'CONNELL called the attention of her Majesty's Government to the charge of the coroner at the inquest on the persons killed in the late affray be tween the Orangemen and Catholics in the neighb.,ur hood of Castlewellau, and asked whether the Govern' ment would lay on the table a corre.spondence on the subject, and whether the Government had sanctioned the protection given to the Orangemen by the armed police ? - Sir G. GREY said tha charge of the coroner had not been brought under the notice of the Government, and with respect to the police, their endeavours were to pre serve the public peace, and not protect one religious party against another. HUNGARY. On the motion that the report of the Committee Of Ways and Means be brought up, • Mr. B. OSBORNE rose to move, pursuant to notice, for any papers connected with the advance of the Russian troops into the kingdom of Hungary. It had generally been supposed that Hungary was part of Austria, and not an independent state; the contrary was the fact. Hungary had been always an oasis of liberty in the land of despotism. The kingdom of Hungary was first joined to Austria under Ferdinand the First; but at that time Hungary had a free constitution settled upon her. Th e Honourable and Gallant Member entered at some length into the history of Hungary, and to the events that had lately taken place in that country, ob serving that Ferdinand IL, in 1848, granted to Hungary an independent Constitution, but perfidiously broke that guarantee in 1849. He maintained that the present Em' peror, Francis Joseph, was now an usurper of the king dom of Hungary. He was a mere puppet in the hands of his mother, who was at the bottom of all the in trigues of the Court of Austria with Russia. He con tended that the movement in Hungary was not con nected with that of France, for it had been going on for the last thirty years. The aristocracy of Hungary was an aristocracy in its best sense; they had always been the leaders of th e p eop l e. Who was it proclaimed the liberty of the press in Hungary? Louis Kossuth, and for that he was condemned to four years' imprisonment- That man stood now in the proudest position of any man probably in the world.—(Hear, hear.) He stood in the position of Washington, the supporter of civil and religious liberty.—(Hear, hear.) The Noble Lord at the head of the Government had on a former occa sion used the word insurrection with respect to the Hungarian movement. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that in using that term he might have made use of an improper term, but in using it he did not mean to say whether that insurrec tion was justified or not.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. OSBORNE resumed. What had been the con duct of Austria, that had been called a paternal Govern ment? Why, it had bombarded Venice and Milan, in Austria, and Presburg and Pesth in Hungary.—(Hear, hear.) The present was not a mere struggle for Hun garian independence; it was a stuggle between despotism and independence.—(Hear, hear.) Ile thought it became the country to look about. They had passed an Alien Bill, but what was the result? They had aliens in this country in the shape of foreign Ministers, who had agents in the other House of Parlia ment to do their dirty work in this.—(Hear, hear.) The people of the country felt satisfied with the course pur sued by the Secretary of State fir Foreign Affairs, and that they deeply sympathized wi t h a noble nation struggling for its liberty. The Hon. Member concluded by moving for any papers connec t e d w i th the advance °f Russian troops into the kingdom of Hungary.—(cheers.) Mr. M. MILNES, in seconding the motion, said amid all the convulsions going on in Europe, there was no' thing to induce the House to believe that any consider able mutation in the territorial disposition of Conti: newel States which might take place would at all vane` in importance that which was involved in the question before the House. What was t h e war between Austriaand Hungary but a contest o f t h e most d espot i c na ture on the part of Austria? S o l ong as t hi s quest i on re- . Instilled a civil war, the anal og y b etween i t and our g reat civil war remained complet e . Th e o bj ect of th i s war wag clearly to merge the natio na l ex i stence of Hungary i t °, a mere provincial existen ce , d epen d ent on Austr i a . was impossible for any e nergy on the part of the Hun' garian people to prevent th at ext i nct i on of their nat i o n!. existence, seeing that they had to contend against this immense alien force involved in that Russian inters:en" tion. This was really and truly a national question, and not a democratic or an aristocratic one. 31 !• Bathyanni, the Foreign Minister of Hungary, who was an intimate fri en d o f hi s (M r. M. Mibleef)i and a man of immense wea lth, h a d r i s k e d h i s w h o le a ll in this patriotic attempt to give freedom to his country. and should he not succeed the whole of his immense pro' perty, and it might be hi s lif e , m i g h t b e t h e pena lty h e would would have to pay. No republic, or even republicsn form of government, was at any time ever declared 10 Hungary; but the present political state was simply regency, at the head of whi c h was t h at remarkable man; Kossuth, and which was acknowledged by the Diet, and declared simply to be an interregnum of a provisional character, which might be put an end to at any mo• went by a constitutional election to the Crown of Hungary of any person whomsoever. lie did be' lieve this question was one which wo should hear of iD future years. He believed it to be a question in which was involved the principle of rational liberty. Non' intervention pre-supposed a state of peace; and the question was how the peace of Europe was to be pre served? Not, as his Noble Friend (Lord Palmerston), supposed, by tinkering u p th o quarre l s o f t h e s t a tes of Europe, on i by making the evils of the day sufficient for the day. Prince Metterni c h on one occas i o n said, that he was not a prophet b u t a phy s i c i an , and be clearly foresaw that the di sease w ith w hi c h E uro pe was afflicted would one day prove fatal. He concluded by seconding the motion. Mr. ROEBUCK said with international law we had not now to deal ; for it was a kind of internationa l morality, and must be regulated by international policy Unfortunately, the Emperor of Russia was not th e only person who had been guilty of this intervention.—(Dear, hear.) The Republic of France waslfound infringing the non-intervention, and in their attack on the people of Rome they were as greatly cul pable as the despot of Russia. The deliberations in that House at that moment would never reach the ears of the people of Russia ; and, perhaps, not even of Hungary, under the despotism to which they were subject. This was, therefore, a question to be taken up vigorously by the Government. He be lieved our people had a sympathy with their fellow's in the world, and had a desire to see good governmen t spread all over the world, and the banner of des° potism trampled under foot, whether that ban ner waved over the armies either of Russia or of France.—(Cheers.) Greece had arisen up in insur rection against our old ally, and mostly indebted aro the people of Greece to this country for establishing their present King on the throne. If, then, we interfered its that case, he asked now, in a much greater case, %TV ! we were to he passive in this most despotic and tyranniol; intervention on the part of Russia? The Emperor °I Russia once in Hungary, or once at Constantinople, hold soon might he interfere in our Indian empire, and ho k w , soon might he be i n E gypt or Syria; and how soon might we be involved in war with him; for our highway t° India lay th roug h the Red Sea ?—(Hear, hear.) He contended that the people of this country had most direct interest in this question, and he contended this was an English question.
