A clever, pushing fellow, WALEWSKT— too: when he knows I'm at his heels — h u t—bah ! it's alwa ys the case—apt to push too far when he has the opportunity. Of course he can't really sympathise with Russia—he's a Pole—a little high-flown generosity to a great E m peror in his hour of humiliation—that's all. Poles are coustitutionaliy romantic and chivalrous. As to representing my views and sentiments, that is all bosh ! You must look for them in the Moniteur, and not in the Constitutionnel. I was in Compiegne—WALEWSlll in Paris, when the article you complain of was written. On my return, you see, WALEWSKI was brought to boek, and you had all you could desire by way of amends in the Moniteur. I cherish the English alliance. It is my destiny. The peace and hap piness of the world depend upon it," & c ., & c . Such would appear to be the Napoleonic expla nation of the untoward article in the Constitution nel, the injurious effects of which on public confi dence, not even the presenoe of the Emperor in Paris, the relinquishment of the intended festivities at Fontainbleau, and the article in the Moniteur have sufficed to dissipate. The public can believe as much of this expla nation as they like. There is no limit by Act of Parliament, that we are aware of, to English credulity. It were charitable to gulp it all. Explanations, demanding a greater effort at de glutition, have been swallowed before now, and will be, no doubt, again and again ! It may, how ever, be as well if we recount a reason or two for the little incredulity we may have had to overcome. Our Imperial ally would laugh at us if we accused him of over-scrupulosity. The readers of The Sun would laugh at it if it denied a desire on his part to enter within the hallowed pale of divine right legitimacy. The hero of an ever-memorable coup d'etat —the man of December, the garotter of the French Press, and would be garotter of the English, tho pos sessor of a will so inexorable that friends and foes have alike had to bow before it—the Emperor who rules as well as reigns—the Imperial ally, whose veto sufficed to put a stop to a necessary war at the precise stage when the French Eagles flablied bravely in a meridian sun, and the English Standard was about to be gloriously elevated from the mud in which it had been draggled— well it was hard to believe a foreign-Foreign Secretary would dare to publish a line of which be was not assured this man, his master, would approve ! It turns out we were wrong —we have NAPOLEON'S word for it ; the article in the Moniteur establishes the fact beyond the possibility of question. But WALEWSKI is not yet dismissed—Russia is as audacious as ever—Boarsa laughs at us—not an object of the War is fully attained. There is uncertainty everywhere ; and the disciples of Peace talk most of all about War. To calm their troubled minds, let us again assure them it is our Imperial Ally's best policy for the present to keep the alliance intact ; that his greatness,- his very existence, depends on it more than ou anything else ; and that he begins to see and feel, even more clearly than before, if that be possible, that such is the case. WALEWSKI'S dismissal, it may therefore be taken for granted, is already decided on. Otherwise, what would not be thought as to his master's sincerity ? And when it comes, we for one will set our faces like adamant against its being accounted—a tub thrown out to the whale. Our Governments, it must be confessed, are not very lucky at alliances. Somehow, the alliances they make don't do us any good, and are regarded with not altogether unwarrantable sus picion. Can the fact be philosophically accounted for ? Are our Ministers mere islanders, and nothing more ? Our fleets dominate in every ocean, our flag waves on every continent—her MaJEsrv's subjects at home are a miserable mi eority in point of numbers to her subjects abroad —our commercial marine enters every port—our commercial enterprise influences every Exchange. They ought to be something more. If any people have the right to be called citizens of the world, and are necessarily concerned in the general inte rests of mankind, we are that people. It can hardly be that it is for want of knowledge of foreign affairs our Goverments are so unlucky. It were to expose oneself to the charge of slandering our fellow-countrymen if one gave utterance to such an imputation on their good sense. What, then, is the cause of this perpetual bung ling ? Can it be our Governments deal with indi viduals instead of masses, with dynasties instead of nations, that the alliances they boast of and have to apologise for have too narrow a basis to be secure ? Let the reader judge for himself. All we say is—of all alliances, an alliance with France is the one we estimate at the highest value ; and we should have less apprehension fur its continuance, better hope of its perpetuity, brighter augury for the welfare of Europe, and a serener prospect of the elevation of our common humanity, were we more firmly assured the Anglo- French alliance was an alliance with the British nation and the noble French people, as well as with the French Emperor, NAPOLEON the Third ! We can scarcely feel surprised that the new. tunate creditors of the Royal British Bank should be anxious to expedite a final arrangement of the affairs of that unfortunate concern. We all know the old adage respecting the value of the " nim ble shilling," and there are few whom experience has not convinced of its accuracy. It is, then, a matter of vast importance to all concerned that the available assets should be divided with the least possible delay—that even a small dividend should be speedily paid. Trifling as it may appear to legal eyes—that may ba opened to the widest extent at the attempt to rescue any por tion of the oyster from its legitimate devourers-- there must naturally be felt by the 'sufferers a degree of excitement sufficient to, justify an invasion on the time-honoured territories of judicial routine. It is sufrucient to know that a large sum is in hand, the immediate distribution whereof would materially alleviate the distress of the auffefers—that it is contended for by con flicting jurisdie'cions, and that the contest may probably be tarried through various courts to the ultimate appellate tribunal. It is therefore peculiarly desirable that every stage in that progress should be got over with the greatest possible despatch, so that the final decision may be expedited, and the inevitable distribution, which, according to established precedents, will be paid out of the fund in Court, may be reduced 1 to the lowest amount practicable. We must admit the total irregularity of the course adopted by the committee of depositors. To address the Court, save through the ordinary channels of solicitors and counsel, was enough to make every hair in the various wigs present at the usurpation stand on end. The memorial could not, of course, be received. But it does not by any means follow that it will be useless. Although the able Vice- Chancellor, in whose hands the matter is placed, could not give an official answer to the memo r i a l , he must be of its contents, and full perfectly cognisant y convinced of the accuracy of its statements. go could not profess to be influenced by a matter so irregularly b roug ht before the court, but h will be so just as much as if the information h a d cows through a legal gentleman duly instructed. The very effective address of the Ch • airman 4 the Committee cannot have been disregarded. The Vice-Chancellor unquestionably decided correctly. "Hard cases" proverbially cc make bad precedents." But there are few cases so hard a., that of thy d t p t „itor6 iu the Royal British Bank, or so fully justifying a departure from the ordinary course. We grant that such steps may generally be regarded as inexpedient, and that they must invariably be discouraged by the Court ; but, in the present instance, we fancy that the depositors will have no reason to regret the step taken by their committee, who have certainly displayed a degree of zeal and energy entitling them collectively and individu ally to the highest credit. The Judge may require time to deride a " vexed question," but he will certainly not be the less anxious to do so in consequence of the memorial, although he may only have arrived at a knowledge of its contents through the public journals on the evening of the day that it was tendered for his acceptance. We are glad to see our old friend Mr. MIINTZ has again entered the field on the all-important question of Currency Reform. Mr. MUNTZ has, in his time, rendered important services to the good cause ; and, although we may differ in some points of detail, we rejoice in the assistance of an auxiliary so efficient and energetic ; one, too, who has the power and the will to explain his views in the popular branch of the Legislature. It is true that he has not manifested much ac tivity for some years past—that five years have elapsed since he entered the lists against the bullionist Champion on behalf of the sound prin ciples of which he is the conscientious advocate. But that may, in a great degree, be ascribed to the general apathy and indifference that prevailed amongst those who would not take the trouble of investigating the difficulties of a very intricate subject, and who could not be stimulated to action when suffering under no it'll mediate pressure. He, however, displayed his foresight by the motion for inquiry which he originated last session. He said that before the close of the year a great pressure for money, and a consequent advance in the rate of interest, was inevitable. He, therefore, brought forward his motion, although without any sanguine hope of immediate success, as a judicious preliminary movement, and subsequent events have vindi cated the policy of the course adopted. Should the exorbitant interest now charged be increased, or even continued at its present rate, the nation will be fully prepared for energetic action ; and an amount of enthusiasm will be displayed not inferior to that which signalised the agitation for the abolition of the iniquitous bread tax. It is not by flippant jests or ill-timed raillery that arguments such as Mr. Murrrz adduces can be disposed of. The Times may desire to see Mr. MIINTZ a canon in " the Cathedral of Rag land" and vicar of Papertown, but we are far better pleased to see him in his present position as the independent representative of a large in dustrial constituency, peculiarly interested in the due solution of by far the most important political problem of the day, Mr. MIINTZ is not to be silenced by such means, and the . Times may be well assured that it cannot suppress the rapidly increasing agitation on the subject by such attack, The Times, with a ponderous attempt at jocu larity, declares "if a man were to tell us that clothing were a bad thing because it was impossible always to adopt it to the temperature of the air, or the state of the circulation, we should ask, "Do you then propose we should go without it ?" Far from it. But we believe that it is very nearly as absurd to suppose that a fixed state of garments should be enforced by sumptuary laws -' that a rheumatic patient should be compelled to wear the light garments of a Hindoo within the Arctic circle, or that a healthy young man should be ordered to wear furs under the sweltering heat of an African sun. The analogy in this case is complete. No Currency Reformer has ever recom mended the abolition of a circulating medium, or a return to the old style of barter ; but every one has insisted on something calculated to answer the exigencies of the day. What is suitable to one state of affairs is altogether inopportune at another time and under totally opposite circum stances. The Bank Charter Act establishes a fixed and invariablerule, from which no deviation is allowed. When there are no bubble schemes on foot, no wild speculations, and trade and manufactures are in a sound and healthy condi tion, it cannot be requisite to starve industry, and to reduce the creators and producers of na tional wealth into unprofitable consumers. It is equally injurious when such schemes are on foot to be obliged to force money on the market at a low rate of interest, and thus stimulate and foster the evil. But this is what the Bank Charter Act is calculated to do, when gold is flowing into the c)untry, and there is no continental competition for the golden products of Australia. The Bank must purchase any gold offered at 3/. 17s, 9d. per oz. They cannot keep it idle in their vaults. The interests of the proprietors forbid such a course, which would speedily reduce the dividends to very attenuated dimen sion. They therefore are obliged to force money on the market at 2 per cent., trusting to bring back natters to the old state by a species of legeriemain process, when the time has arrived for tie stringent application of the screw. Flue toations in the value of money, or, what is nearly the same thing, in the rate of discount, thus be oome inevitable, and the People are at one time surfeited and at another starved in the midst of plukty. We must get rid of this unwise and impolitic system. All that is necessary is that the people should be aroused—that they should be taught how deeply their own welfare and pro sperity, and the comfort and happiness of their families are involved in the result.• Let every Monetary Reformer now exert himself zealously and energetically, and ere many months have elapsed we shall have to congratulate the nation on its emancipation from the most oppressive tyranny that ever existed----the despotic authority of the Moneyocracy. The Times has made a great mistake, surely, in the " ha'porth" of argument which figures in its bill of banter against Mr. BERKELEY on Tuesday. It says—it has said it twenty times—that the Ballot is of no use, bemuse everybody's vote must be known in England. It is only a small part of a, man's life ; his life is known ; as is his life so is his vote ; therefore his vote is known outside the ballot-box. Almost as many fallacies as words. We don't knom every one's vote beforehand. Who knows or ever knew the vote of the Times beforehand It voted black a week ago ; who can insure , a black ball for the same object next week ? We indeed would rather bet five to one on a white one. The Vines on Tuesday bantered Mr. BER KELEY, bantered the Ballot, and all who happened to be in the company. It has done it annually ; now who will guarantee that sOLlie day, in some till with Lord J. RUSSELL and the Whigs, it will not banter them, and declare Mr. BEREALUY and the Ballot a great fact ? Nor is every man's vote a part of his life. That is just the thing we complain of. His conversa tion at his own table and his friend's table are a part of his life ; if he be not in too much subjec tion his newspaper is so too ; a nd should hi@ land lord be tolerant . of his doings, provided he do but vote right, his occasional attendance at a public meeting may be a part of his life also. But his vote is a part of his landlord's life, of his mort gagee's life, of his creditor's life, of his customers' life, of his employer's life. Advocates of the Ballot want the man's life and his vote to be con sistent. The frequent glaring instances to the contrary are what, more than any other reason, will not suffer the question to sleep. We are indignant at seeing the known Liberal compelled to falsify the political witness of his life by plumping fez. my Lord BROADA.CRE'S eldest son, when he would rather vote for plain Mr. JOHN SSIITII, who, as he thinks, would cut down taxa tion, and at least is a sensible Reformer. Unhappily there are two classes whose votes we can prognosticate with certainty. " - Tell mo who your companions are, and I will tell you what you are," is a law amongst the moralists, and, tell me who your landlord is and I will tell you what kind of hustings' politician you are, will hold quite as true. Suppose an agent can vassing Berkshire for the registration or an elec tion, could not the editor of the Times tell him how the tenants would vote to a man ? Would the Editor trouble himself about each tenant ? Would he not make out a list, or two or three lists of the landlords, and say—There, Mr. Agent, there you have them. Write to each of the gentlemen in that list, then the stewards will be directed to send you the number and names of the electoral flock on each estate ; see that they -are all on the register, or see that they are all at . „ , • •• ; Pint, A• 4•• • 4 4 :i, . • , the poll, as the case may be. There is another well-known class, for which we should refer the Times to Nottingham, whose votes can as certainly be predicted ; the gentle men whose votes vary with the funds, the candi date's funds we mean. True, they are often in doubt till the eleventh hour ; in that case there is, perhaps, a seeming uncertainty. None, how ever, in reality. The highest bidder will be the buyer. It may be difficult to say which of the rivals will bleed best, but none at all as to the vote going with the most sovereigns. Sometimes, however, at the Nottinghams the Honourable Nabob LONcWURSE goes in to win. It is known that he does so. Some barebone of a Radical may contest the borough on party principles, and just to insure that the Honourable Mr. LONG PURSE shall " down with the dust, and no mis take," but the votes were sure enough from tho beginning. The buyer, and the fellow-townsmen of the voters, could have named them all. These worthies the Times always takes under its special charge. It tells us they are the sellers of votes mado for the buyers of votes—that the want is reciprocal and urgent, who shall hinder them from coming together ? What the Times hath joined together, let no profane Ballot put asunder. Now we d 3 not at all question the knowledge of the Times as to the perfect adapta tion of the buyer and seller of votes to each other. Slaving had no dealings in the article, we must defer to superior authority. We can only well believe that, as in other contraband traffic, the mutual understanding must be good, and the gain, on the whole, large. Still—though as in the case of smuggling, we should speak with deference in the presence of an old smuggler, so we feel some touohes of diffidence now—still we imagine the perfect adaptation may be somewhat marred by the preventive service of the Ballot. It would be rather inconvenient for the buyer not to know For certain whether his money had brought him money's worth, or whether the buyer had not sold the same article to two parties, and furnished' it to neither, Or, if to either, of necessity to an enemy in one case. Consequences like these would some- what interfere with the perfect adaptation, be- cause it would just give play to those trivial moral imperfections which disqualify buyers of stolen goods from dealing, under certain itircum stancti, with sellers of the same. But then America, the everlasting America, not certainly the land which has most of our love just now, in America every one's vote is known. Is it ? Then why do those 'cute Yankees retain the Ballot ? Tkey are not the gentlemen to ad here to a practice from superstition or for form's sake. They must have some reason. And it will puzzle a wiser correspondent of the Times than Mr. ARROWSMITR to find a better one, than that Americans find it useful as far as they want it. Hundreds and thousands of Americans do and it convenient not to reveal their votes at all, or sooner than they like. The advan tage is, therefore, recognised by all. Even the most independent man may have ma- sional reasons for preferring a secret vote ; and most dependent persons in times of excite ment m ay prefer it greatly. Testimony to its value as the means of independent voting, and of preserving quiet at elections, is abundant enough from America, from Belgium, from Geneva, from every place in which it has been tried. Indeed the Times' own American correspondent by th• Arabia dilates on the simplicity, ease, and quiet ness with which not a President only, but nine State officers, were balloted for in one room, and at the same time. Plas the Times forgotten its correspondent's description of the room, with one end railed off separate from the rest, with the ten ballot-boxes for officers from the President down to the inspector of schools, the concurrent supply of tickets, and the order with which each voter falls into his queue, answers to his name in the register, and quietly declares his secret vote ? We beg to refer the Times to the Times of the 1 7th, for th• hundredth answer to its misuse of American practices. As to Mr. BERKELEY, he can take good care of himself and of the Ballot too ; and, should the Ballot be a little more the fashion, we can assure him that we know beforehand the vote of the Times, The Grand-Duke of Saxe Coburg is engaged on another new opera.

LATEST NEWS. AUSTRALIA. SAFETY OF THE JAMES BAINES. (BY MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH.) LIVERPOOL, ThURSDAY. The James Baines passed Cork last evening. ARRIVAL OF THE LIGHTNING. The Lightning, Captain Enright, belonging to the Black Ball line of Australian packets, has just arrived. She left Melbourne on the 28th August, and on the 30th Oct. spoke the ship James Baines, in lat. 29 13 N, long. 33 14 W, and parted company on the 3d of November, in lat. 36 50, long. 48 30. The Lightning has brought 150 passengers, and 140,000 ounces of gold on freight. The following vessels were in the port at Mel bourne when the Lightning loft:—The Harlequin, the Charlotte ADD, the Colin Campbell, the Kennington, and the State of Maine, from London; the Belcarrig, from Liverpool ; the Fleetwood and the Crimea, from Glasgow ; and the Sports man and Boston Light, from New York. The dates by the Lightning are—Melbourne, Aug. 28 ; Sydney, 20 ; Adelaide, 16 ; Hobart Town, 21 ; Launceston, 20 ; and New Zealand, July 26. The James Baines was very heavily laden with copper ore and tin, and owing to the ad vices from England an advanced price had been obtained in Melbourne for wool, and the demand was active. The quantity coming forward did not meet the de mand. In tallow, mixed was unaltered. Mutton had declined, and beef had recovered and was in active demand for shipment. In hides the demand for shipment was good, but few were offering. The Melbourne markets were generally firm and steady. The elections for the two Houses of Parliameni had commenced. The roads to the diggings were improving, and as the stocks were very light an immense trade was expected. Notwithstanding the heavy imports prices had not suffered any material diminution. Imports continued slightly in excess of exports. The accounts from the various gold fields are on the whole favourable, the escort returns for the fortnight being considerably above the average of the last three months, while the prospects for the ensuing summer are quite encouraging. The discovery of new gold fields is New South Wales had attracted a few persons from the Victoria diggings, but the greater bulk of them had re turned. Reports from various parts of the inte rior state that the rush towards the Sydney fields had all but, if not entirely, ceased. The depar tures from Victoria by sea had exceeded the arrivals by 90 persons. Throughout the province extensive farming operations being undertaken a great demand for labourers was anticipated. The labour market was dull. Gold was in demand for shipment by the Light. ning, and the price advanced to 755. 6d. The non-arrival of the escort with the produce of four of the gold fields, owing to the swoollen state of the river Loddon, make the weekly re turns appear rather small.

The United States mail steam-ship Atlantic, which was to leave New York on the Bth instant, with the mails from the United States and British North America, arrived off the Great Ormes Head at eight o'clock this morning. DEATH OF PRINCE WORONZOW. We have received a telegraphic despatch from Odessa, stating that Prince Woronzow died at that city on the 18th instant, at four o'clock in the afternoon, The Nouvelle Gazette de Prusse affirms thitt Russia is willing to renounce her claim to the Isle of Serpents, but persists in retaining Balgrad. BERLIN, Nov. 18. Authentic communications announce as certain the approaching abdication of the King of Den mark in favour of Prince Ferdinand. A letter from Berlin, in the Cologne Gatette, says :—" A second proposition has been made by the Russian Government, and is favourably re ceived here, with reference to the re•opening of the conferences. It is hoped that the concessions which Russia appears willing to make will influ ence the Governments which have hitherto opposed the re-opening of the congress." M. Antonini, the Neapolitan Minister, leaves Paris on Friday or Saturday next. The Federal Council of Switzerland, it appears, have no objection to release the prisoners of Neu chatel, on condition that the King of Prussia re nounces all claim to the sovereignty of that Can ton. It is not probable that his M a j es t y s h ows any disposition to make that concession. A great sensation was created in Madrid by the news of the Conference held at St. Cloud on the affairs of Spain by the Emperor, Lord How den, and M. Turgot. Persons in Paris affirm that its result was the firm determination that France as well as England should not even make a single remonstrance, much less move a soldier or a ship to salt() Queen Isabella or her dynasty, if by her folly, obstinacy, or obedience to bad counsel, she should bring on herself and her throne that mea sure of retribution which most people in Spain expect. The Vienna Correspondent of the Times (Second Edition), in his letter dated Nov. 17, says "It has more than once been hinted to me that Sir Hamilton Seymour has made ' unplea sant communications' to Count Buol on the sub ject of Naples, and a Hamburg paper has now received perfectly reliable' information from this city, that the British Minister at the Court of Vienna even spoke to Count Buol of the possi bility of an eventual landing of troops in Sicily, if King Ferdinand 11. remained obdu rate. It does not appear at all probable that such an experienced diplomatist as Sir Hamilton Seymour would show the cards of his Government "to the Austrian Minister for Foreign Affairs, but it certainly has retched my ears that he is not entirely satisfied with the policy of the Austrian Cabinet in the Neapolitan question. By the by, information which probably deserves full confi dence has reached me from Naples, that the Laz zareni and some of their scoundrel patrons have got up a plot for massacring the resident English and French, if their Governments should take any hostile measures against the King. The Paris correspondent of the Morning Post (second edition) says : " The German journals declare that Russia has addressed a circular despatch to all the' Powers represented in the treaty of Paris, on the Ser pents' Island and Bolgrad. questions. It is believed that the Czar withdraws his claims ; but, if I am correctly informed, on unacceptable con ditions." A private letter from Madrid, dated the 15th, confirms the appointment of Gonzales Bravo to the Embassy of London. A Paris correspondent of the Augsburg Gazette, who is generally well-informed, states that " Franca has made concessions to England in the frontier, and England to France in the congress question. FRANCE. PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING. The Debats offers - the following comments on a late article published by the Post : "The language employed by the majority of the Lon don journals is not of a nature to facilitate the solution of existing difficulties, or to maintain and draw closer the friendly relations of the two countries. We believe that the English press attaches a great value to the main tenance of the alliance between England and France, a value equal to that which we attach to it ourselves. And we likewise are partisans of the English alliance ; we desire it to-day as we desired it ten years ago ; but we wish it to be founded on conditions which form the necessary basis of every alliance, that is, on a condition of perfect and absolute equality between the two parties. We can not admit amongst the conditions of the alliance the obli gation which it is sought to impose on the Emperor Na• poleon, of changing one of his ministers, simply because that minister displeases England, On such conditions the alliance would become intolerable, or, rather, no alliance could exist, for between France and England an alliance is only possible when .it imposes no sacrifice on the honour, independence, and dignity of the two nations. This is the manner in which we understand, and have always understood, the English alliance ; it is certainly thus that it is comprehended in France. In the article of the Morning Post, which we reproduce, it is as serted that all the governments of France who have not maintained and treated with consideration the English alliance have been punished. This declaration is singular. But there are other pretensions no less singular in the said article. What can we reply for example to the ac cusation against the Emperor of Russia of sending the princesses of his family abroad on political missions ? In verity, if the Russian princesses can no longer enjoy the liberty of travelling in Europe without a❑ outcry being raised by the English journals to the effect that a violation of the treaty of Paris has taken place, we cannot understand where such exigencies are to cease. The treaty of Paris would appear to have been concluded with the view of extending the critical propensities of the English press over all Europe, and over the rela tions of private as well as public life ! France can certainly never submit to such singular pretensions." BounsE, Nov. 19.—The following were the last quotations : Cash. fr. c.

The Journal de Constantinople publishes the speeches of Lord Stratford de Redcliffe and of the Sultan, on the occasion of the ceremony of the in vestiture of the Garter. Lord Stratford said— "By order of the Queen, my most gracious Sovereign, and in virtue of her Royal mandate, I have the honour, in eencert with Sir Charles Youog, chief King-at-Arms, and my colleagues on this occasion, to present to your Imperial Majesty the insignia of the most famed and most noble Order of the Garter, founded, as your Majes ty knows, by one of the most illustrious princes of the long series of the monarchs of England. "The Queen, in nominating her plenipotentiary to invest your Majesty therewith, esteems herself happy to give a public mark of her friendship and of her Royal consi deration for your august person, and thus to make manifest to the world her cordial desire that the alliance so usefully established between the empire of her Ma jesty and yours may be maintained without interruption and mutually cemented. "In adding to the numerous species of glory which surround your Imperial name a distinction without pre cedent, your Majesty may attribute it to that personal have benevolence, to that policy of which oonciliation , ropean associated your Government with the great proc Eu aimed already , family, and the results of which , only await their full execution to s hower everywhere around the most precious benefits. " May I be allowed in ni hew deeply I feel the honokuerwy name to express privatehich will be reflected by this investiture upon me, t humble instrument destined to perform it 7" _ hest The Sultan repl hi i est satisfaction these nobl e " I receive with theniedgik mark of the friendship o f w hi c h her insignia as Majesty anieeswtyad striking t h e Queen and the English n a ti on have given tl3 so many proofs, and for which we are ever grateful. " I attach the more valae to this mark of friendship, as it is at the same tune an imperishable memento of the h a ppy alliance of our two empires —an alliance so fruit ful in good results, and so useful for the accomplishment of the work which I have undertaken to insure the wel fare of all classes of my people. " I also consider this event as a new consecration of that alliance. I shall hasten to write to her Majesty the Queen, to express to her my gratitude ; but in the meantime I beg you to convey to the Queen the ex pression of my thanks, and the assurance of my most sincere friendship. Your lordship must feel persuaded that it is also a pleasure for me to receive these noble insignia from your hands." ROME. The Moniteur of yesterday publishes the follow. ing : " ROME, Nov. 13. " General Count de Goyon, recently appointed to the command of the French division, arrived at Rome on Saturday evening. He was immediately presented to an the Holy Father dto the Cardinal Secret irY of State. His Holiness a n d his Eminence displayed the most friendly courtesy to the General, and gave him the most distinguished reception. The language addressed by the new Commander-in-Chief to the Sovereign Pontiff and to his Minister appears to have elicited sentiments of ex treme satisfaction and of deep gratitude towards the Emperor. "General de Montreal left this morning for Franc; taking with him the regrets and the esteem of all those who came in contact with him, whether strangers or natives. His successor, from a feeling which was folly appreciated, led all the officers' of the garrison to take a solemn leave of him. The Holy Faller i n bidding fare. well to M. de Montreal, addressed him in the moat flattering terms, and gave him his portrait set in bril liants. "The Government Committee on the Finances has just met and has held some sittings, The Holy Father has recently given audience to the deputies of the pro• vinces and appealed to them for their support far settling the forthcoming budge(. In conclud ing his address to them his Holiness congratu lated himself on being able to present to the com mission a budget the very small deficit in which presented a considerable diminution upon the last one, and allowed the hope that a perfect balance might soon be expected. In fact, the draught of the budget for 1857, which has j ust been published, shows a d e fi c it w hi e ' s does not amount to one-twentieth of the revenue of the Pontifical States. Subtracting the sinking of the debt and unforeseen expenses there would he a surplus. The indirect taxes, especially the Customs, thanks to the measures recently- taken, exceed the expectations of the Government by the returns already made, and by those they still promise. The sons of these results is emi nently satisfactory, and speaks well for the real resources of the country, and, at the same time, for the care be stowed by the Government in the regulation of the finan cial system. NEUCIIATEL. A letter from Paris, in the Nord of Brussels, says General Dufour has had several confer ences with the Emperor on the subject of the Neu chatel question, and it is believed here that an arrangement will be come to between the Helvetic Confederation and Prussia. The Federal Council is disposed, as I have already stated, to release the royalist prisoners of Neuchatel. The language of General Dufour confirms this fact. On the other hand, the King of Prussia, satisfied by that mea sure and by the adhesion of the Germanic Diet, will not prove himself exacting in the conditions of a territorial cession of the principality."
