THE NEW POLICE. TO THE EDITOR 01 7 THE SUN. —Few subjects ever engrossed more of public at tention, and none, anima the many that meet shortly en gage the attention of Parliament, are of greater impel. caner, then that of the New Police. The weak grounds en which it rests .or support is evidenced by the paltry Plan eNPla" . ):,loins, and excuses, that have for some time been the round of the. Press. I have no wish, bowie' .er, to detract from any merits the new force may :arum, the observations now offered apply to the principle on which it is founded, rather than its immediate conduct, as I hold it an axiom, above all in political institutions, that whatever is bad in principle cannot Joni/ be other. wise in practice. The system of the ancient watch, like some of the an cient dynasties of Europe, may have been worn out, but it seems doubtful whether it could be replaced, by any, less hi accordance with our institutions, the feelings or habits of the people, or the spirit of the age, than the New Po lice. It, moreover, must never be forgotten; that what. ever the English nation has enjoyed of civilization, internal freedom, security, and happiness, hat been *gained under a system of Police, of which the people not only bore, hut regulated the expense, and discharged the duties, which far ages formed one of the happiest and proudest distinctions between the subjects of these realms and those of despetic states, and that under it (whatever abuses have crew' 10 the Police duty has hitherto been, and still coritie: ues 'e o b e , performed...save in the Metropolis. It was matter of boast during the, last Seede r , of P ee . liament, that the Government reduced the public ex penditure a million a Year .; but can the inhabitants of the metropolis be said to share the benefit, when visited with this new intlictioe,, in addition to the other burdens they exclusively ht'ar, and the full share they also coritribute to the Yraieral burdens of the State ? Great pains are taken to snake it appear that the coat of the new police is Tint 'more than that of the ancient watch,..4he public, how ever, are not likely to be mistaken in what they pay,—they feel where the shoe pinches, and the cry is universal that the rates are increased by the new poli:e, however inge niously mystified by being blended with those raised ler sue poor. • A great disposition has long prevailed to ape, the Ex- Bourbon institutions, and the civilonilit,iry gcrid'ermerie, ler,ewn as the new police, is evidently of that school ; its patrons, however, ought to recollect, that though in France at might contribute to increase the national discontent, it proved powerless when opposed to the national will, and tumble either to protect the Ministry, or save the dynasty. This new force is not only unconstitutional in principle, trot doubly objectionable front the attempts to disguise its really military character—several and distinct from the people—. nominated and controuled by the. Crown—the Mi ulster appointing two Commissioners (the double appoint ment destroying, by dividing, responsibility), who select and nominate every individual of whatever rank employed, by whom, whatever his conduct, a policeman can alone be dismissed, who therefore knows and acknowledges no other antburity—mostly selected from discharged military, at:- ..ustotned to military discipline and obedience.--and though atw 'Jimmied in compliance with the public will, or to disarm public jealousy, capable of being armed at any mo ment, and by previous habits practised in the use of them. Your *ontemporary, the Times, on Saturday, when Writing on this subject, asks, " Do the advocates of the old system believe that the Secretary of State has any in terest in making an attempt on the national liberties by means of the police constables ?" Does your contemporary believe there ran be no tuber or better system than the an cient watch or the new police ? What interest lied Po. lignac and his colleagues to destroy the national liberties of their country? I enteitain a high respect for Sir Robert Peel individually, but he may not always be Secretary of State, and bare our national liberties no better foundation or 'security than the personal respectability of a Minister ? The new police, however, is not only military in prin. ciple, but in number an army—the present force upwards of 3,00 men ! (how many brilliant exploits worded in history were Achieved by no greater force?)--and for What ? Not to protect the metropolis from a foreign foe, —htsppily we have none,—but against itself ! ! It would be far better were the 'slithery openly employed at ones; there would then be no disguise, and no delusion, but a greet saving of expence ; the pay of a private soldier being one shilling, that of a policeman three shillings per diem, the pay erf %WO of the latter equal to that of 10,5110 pri vates in the line the metropolis contains a tenth of our popoletion, and the system were extended no the kingdom at !large, it would require an army of 35,000 police, their pay ealual,to 10400 privates of the, line. pul thennide of levying; the money to defray the charge la not kali objectionable than the expellee or conatitutton of the force itself. The supply for ;thn,rtgular army is toted by Parliament before the experice is incurred or money expended. In the case of the New Police, after she money has been levied, by the Commissioners en the parish rates and expended, WI account, as if in mockery, is directed to be laid before the Legislature ! The poor rates, . originally intended to relieve this aged and distressed, home long been dishonestly perverted to pay the wages of labour. Were the New Police system rendered perm mot, it would establish a precedent for their further per version, from the purposes of charity to those of Govern ment, and making the parish authorities a lever for levy big other parts of its expences, without an annual yote by Parliament. The Alpha and Omera of the once boasted privileges of Englishmen might then be expressed in two words, ones' and rAv ; but such can never ho the ease till Enkland and her eons shall be premed to sink into that state, from which the nations of the continent are now an proudly emerging. • I sin, fair, yuur very obedient servant, Oct. 18,11830.

There are4resides upwards of hop persons confined in the fortress of Almeida. The Cygnet, which arrived at Falmouth, (rain Lisbon, this day (Friday), brings nothing new—the same wretched state of things continued to prevail; arrests were daily made, but there was no appearance of resistance to this tyranny.

We are again indebted to our Morning Cotemporary (the Herald) for some important intelligence respecting the movements of the Constitutionalists in Spain. On the 14th they had, it seems, passed, or were just in the act of passing the frontiers, so that the revolution may, at last, be considered as having commenced. In common with the majority of our countrymen we shall watch the progress of these brave men with intense anxiety, convinced that if the justice of a cause be a sufficient guarantee for its success, this most holy, just, and righteous warfare, in which is embarked all that is dear to man, cannot fail to triumph. It gives us pleasure too to find that the jealousies of the Constitutional Chiefs have subsided ; that VALDEZ is at peace with MINA, to whom the conduct of the expe dition is assigned ; and that but one heart and 0110 opinion animate the Spanish patriots. It is impossible to speculate on the nature of the re• sistance that this gallant band is likely to meet with ; the Apostolicals, we know, are furious in the extreme ; and the history of the world shows that a priest, fighting, whether with sword or pen, in defence of his pluralities, is a bloody.—a desperate—an uncompromising foe, to whom a tiger is a lamb, and a bywna a sucking dove. But cruelty, however atrocious --however grateful to their nature, on the part of the Apostolicals, is of no use without intel lect, and alas, these Rev. State Pensioners are clismally deficient in this requisite. They have all of the d e mon but his sagacity. So far as FERDINAND—who, according to somo accounts, is inclined to moderation, would the church party but allow him to conciliate—is concerned, little opposition, we suspect, need be anticipated from him or his schism. He is strong only while leaning on the arm of the Apostolicals, and these, thank Gon, are hobbling on crutches to the grave of what is far dearer to them than life, their pluralities. ENTRY. OF TIIE CONSTITUTIONALISTS INTO SPAIN. PARIS ) OCT. 17, THREE O'CLOCK, r. at. The following communication bars just been received by Colonel Pinto by an extraordinary express. The letter is dated Bayonne, the 14th instant, and written by General Mendez do 'Vigo, one of the constitutional Chiefs in this quarter : " Dear Friend —I have just arrived from Spain, where I have had the satisfaction of leaving the bravo Valdez at Viduo. As De Pablo and I were unable to enter : on the seine day with our detachments, we resolved to ac6ompany hint as individuals, which determination greatly pleased him, and we urged upon him the propriety of not exposing his valuable person, preferring to take the conduct of the affitir on ourselves ; he wished us all three to enter with our banners displayed. " I congratulate you, my ft iend, upon this happy result of your labours, with the most sincere and overflowing joy. Adieu ; you may consider this as the official account of the entry. (Signed) P. MENDEZ DE VIGO. et TO Dan Ignacio Lopez Pinto, Rce." (Frown our Spanish Correspondent.) PROCLAMATION. " Soldiers I—When unexampled treason, in 1823, made us change the beautiful title of 'defenders of our country for that of slaves of an ominous despot, I witnessed your grief and participated in your emotions. Your enemies, misconstruing your conduct, which had been the result of 4 snare laid 'to your good faith, attributed it to cowardice. At Tarifa we undeceived them. There a handful of your companions accomplished a noble enterprise, and washed with the Hood of the invaders the outrages put on the tumour of the artily. 44 Soldiers 4 ,--A new career of glory and hope offers it self to your patriotism. The gallant General Torrijos, in conjunction with other worthy Chiefs, patriots, was to have opened it two months ago, and was to have begun the great popular movement. Extraordinary circumstances, which partly have delayed him hitherto, strengthen and increase the combination and the forces, improve our po. litical position, and secure more efficaciously the triumph. Well deserving Generals, patriots, soldiers of all classes, who never were wanting to honour, resort to the frontiers frotn the most remote climates, where their patriotism and virtues had kept them confined. France and ether nations have given us a subilme lesson; and the hearts of all Spaniards, moved by'such heroic examples, expect from us the signal to break their chains. Sol;iier ! —The French army, without disregarding either duty or military honour, has heard the voice of its country, and the World adjudges them applause arm 14u. res. Desert, then, the ranks which dishonour you, and came to moll the number:of the brave who follow Come, soldiers ! and add to the name of citizens of a free people that of liberators. if Soldiersl—All thosa who assist the generous enter. prise of giving liberty to the nation are our friends, he their former party or denomination what it may; and those• are cur enemies who, with arms in their hands, oppose our march.' -The axe of the law only shall punish the other delinquents. (Signed) FRANCISCO VALDEZ. Video, Oct. 13, 1880." Thl* place and date are in writing, the rest in print. (From the Precursor of Oct. 17.) The following Proclamation, attributed to Colonel Alex. O'Donnell, his lately beep circulated through the northern provinces of Spain 44 Spaniards ! The just cause of national freedom must triumph In spite of the dilute of the fanatic party, which exerts .itselt- to_lisparage the merits of these who, in order to support the iegitimate rights of the country, have suf fered all kinds of misfOrtunell, persecution, and even pro scription. Let them now return to their country, but not with those sentiments which their mortal enemies attri bute to them—namely, a. determination to plunder, assas sinate, destroy, and sell revenge for the inprice they haye experienced ; but, with a very different sprit, to embrace their brethren, to mingle their tore of tenderness with those of their fellow subjects, and by so doing renew the memory of those days of tranquillity which ibey enjoyed at a former period; and, in particular, that they may re turn to their homes in order to find their peace, to esta blish it where it does nut exist, to consolidate union and concord amongst all Spaniards, and to aid in fixing the Government in a permanent form, which spay conciliate all interests, And make the people happy in every respect. Spaniards, give no belief to any thing you may hear to the contrary of this ; and persuaded that the exertions of your fillow4ountryinen.are only directed to the formation of , Spain Into rine great family, he reconciled from your animosities, forgetting the past for the take of the pre sent; and above all, let the most perfect unanimity reign among you, kilned to the most solid peace, tranquillity, 4414 0 r, and security. 1114ttt are their intentions, and the results cannot fail to be sueeesiful u hen they are tke work of breve men, aided by General Mina." A traveller, just arrived from Merseilles, and who kit Cadiz about the middle of September, stated, that although ~.it that date the authority of Ferdiriaptl win not absolutely abolished, the revolution might, in point of fact, be consi dered as effected, such was the state of "eiritement which operated on the minds of all, end the ipirit . of libertY which existed, that persons upon meeting eaefi_ other spoke with the gre itest confidenee, and announced the approaching overthrow cf the tyrant. Since the fall of Charles X. carried with it the destructs tion of that system so baneful to the liberties and rights of the people, it has been known that the English Mi nister, jealous of this spirit of revolution spreading to that country (Spain), determined on counteracting the influ ence which France might exercise for suds an object. We have already noticed the diplomatic understanding which then existed between the Duke of Wellington and the per sons who were at the head of the Cabinet of Madrid. The latter, from that moment requested his assistance against the protection whirls the Constitutional cause might re ceive front France now regenerated, and the latter, re fusing to pass the barrier of non-intervention, which formed the ground-work of its political system, drew back from offering any other demonstrations of sup port than those outward signc of friendly feeling. No doubt the Duke, imagining all the time tl at, with the maturity which reconciles events, the French Ministry would arrive at the height of revolution, neither thought that it would be possible to impose upon people's minds by political phraseology, nor, less wor thy of the French nation, that it should solicit its Go. vernment to deny sympathy and regard to the Spanish emigrants. But when subsequent acts plainly abewed that the Councillors of the Citizen King were fearful of adopting the consequences of the revolution, and refused to the Constitutionalists of other countries even those aids which, without compromising their neutrality, would serve the cause of liberty in a great degree, and par ticularly when the appointment of Talleyrand to the English Embassy gave them so eminent a negotiator, the Duke no longer entertained any doubt but that it would be easy to obtain (tom the French Ministry those com plaisant measures which his partiality for the Cabinet of Madrid prompted him to propose, and which tended to paralyse the efforts and preparations of. the emigrants as , seinbled on the frontiers. dila representations on this head have been listened to by the present Ministers; and the consequence has been that orders have been given to the authorities in the northern districts to direct all the emi grants who are stationed near the skirt's of the Pyrenees to enter into the interior of France. But in the present state of that country, and considering the favour which our cause receives from the inhabitants, what means can the Government adopt to put such decrees into execution? Will force be used No resistance will, of course, be offered to its orders, but only a kind of passive obedience will be the result. (From the Indicateur of liordeota, dated Oct. 13.) FRONTIERS OF SPAIN, OCT. 5. The success of the long-wished for regeneration of Spain only now commences to indicate a degree of probability as to its results, which was not presented heretofore, owing to the various contradictory accounts and the equivocal situation of some of the actors in this new revolution. Always ignorant of the views and the prepar a ti ons mina, Col. Valdez, assisted by some officers attached to his cause, was acting in a a. me different from that of the General. 'The firmness of the latter, the weakness of the others, got the better of all trivial feelings of resentment, and the egotist of Tarifa has not been able to withstand any longer the influence of Mina. A junction of all the officers at Bayonne toy c place the day before yester day, at the house of a military man in that town. Mina presented himself to them for the first time. His presence and discourse dissipated all their fears and irre solution. Mina MU proclaimed the chief and the centre of all operation ; Pastor, Champelanzsra, and Valdez recognized his tight of precedence. From henceforth there can be no more apprehension as to the result of this enterprise, as it is now under the direction of G e ner a l Mine. Several detachments of refugees have arrived ; Lopes- Banos is also here, with several other officers of distinc. tion. A Proclamation of Mina, ofa very prudent descrip tion, was issued the day before yesterday. After that docu ment, the re-entrance of the Spaniards into their country must follow as a matter of course, and without loss of time. Generals Butron and Espinosa are among the number of the officers who have arrived at Bayonne. Letters from Madrid, dated the 4th of this month, an nounce that Ferdinand is preparing to make an excursion to Old Castile, and that he intends extending his journey as f►r as the frontiers of Portugal. This project will ex plain the motive for collecting so large a body of troops in Old Castile. The persecution against the French has commenced in Spain. Amongst several of our countrymen who have felt the rough hand of despotism, may be mentioned M. Lace. tome, a large proprietor at Moron, who lately arrived from Madrid, and who only escaped the brutal throcity of the Spank!' populare by a hasty flight. On arriving in a village not far from Burgos, M. Lacabaue, accompanied by his wife, was there :wailed by the populace, who pur.;. sued him with the cries of " Death to the French !" and fired several gun-shots at him. lie has, however, been able to effect his map into France, but he heard on his way several reports of various outrages committed on French subjects in the provinces. M. Lacabane, who is a man of great respectability, made a representation to the authorities, on arriving at Bayonne, and gave them the whole puticulars of the transaction. The . Ambaahador of Sardinia at the Court of Madrid has arrived at Bayonne, on his route from Italy. Be sett out to-morrow for Spain. (From the Courrier Froucais of Sunday. ) MADRID, OCT. 7. (PRIVATt CORRESPONDENCE.) The liberal feeling which reigns at Cadiz keeps the King and his Ministers in a constant state of inqui , tude; the latter, in order to quiet their master's fears, have just sent him an address, which was presented by a Commit, sion composed of the Marquis of Caw Yrujo, the favourite of the King, of the Count Venadito, of the Count Cluaqui, and the Duke of Hijar. This address was' dirt ,ted to the municipality and the commercial Junta of Cadiz by the above persons, and was to the effect that the inhabitants of that place entertain the greatest loyalty for his Majesty,; But although they thus endeavour to lull the - King's fears by such protestations, not a day passes without obstinate rencontres between -the royalist volunteers and bands of men, whom our journal designates with the appellation of robbers, and who form the party of the discontented. . The faction of the Apostolic Carlists is at present ac... tively engaged in inducing the King to annul the sentence of banishment against its principal Chiefs. It is very pro.: bable that Calomarde will obt.iin tie pardon of his coh leagues. two events now engross the whole attention. of tho King,—the approaching =troche:leek of the Queen, and the reunion of the emigrants upon the frontiers.

Toulon, in five vessels belonging to the division, and, as soonAtio other transports can be obtained, the other regi, went. will be sent home. There are at present in all the military hospitals about 1,400 tick, and about 000 in the regimental hospiteli: We have enough of corn to last for two months, t quan tity of brandy, a good supply of forage, and our,markets are well stocked with cattle. Several vessels have been sent to Naples and Sicily, to procure straw and bedding for the troops. MI the soldiers will be under cover of comfortable houses as soon as the wet season sets in. The horses of the artillery and those of the regiments of the African Chasseure will be placed under cover. In fine, every precaution has been taken to protect the troops from any injury from the climate. We, however ► apprehend that, in the next month, the number ill from fevers wilt be greater than at present . The Commander.in-Chief has announced the kind in tentions of the King towards the army ► This communi cation was received with joy and gratitude. The army are flattered in thinking that the King relies upon them Ai they do upon his Majesty. A serious accident has just occurred at the old maga iine. It appeared that proper ore had not keen taken of the powder left in that place; and an ol d er h ad been given to convey it to the magazine belonging to the army. The conveyance of it had been nearly concluded, when one of the workmen, in endeavouring to raise a plank from the door, in the joining of which some grains of powder bad f a ll en , l e t a spark accidentally fly, which caused an instant explosion. A number of workmen have been seriously injured, and twenty so severely burnt that they have since . died. The greatest precautions h ave b e e n taken to pre vent the recurrence of any similar accident. (From La Quotidienne of Sunday.) The Prefect of the Seine has expressed a wish that the Cbamber of Commerce thnuld hold an extraordinary meet ing to-morrow, at which he intended to preside. It is said that the Deputies nominated by the City of Paris have tete, been invited to attend this meeting and take part in the discussion. It appears that one of the most important questions relating to the commerce dike capital is to fora) the subject of diseusslon.—namely, that wits► respect to the entrepot ; and it is also stated that the Prefect has con voked this meeting with the view of counteracting by the opinions of the Members of the Chamber of Commerce, all those objections which have been brought against the existence of the entrepot at Paris. A young man named M- 7 -, who about two months since came into the possession 14200,000 francs, and who lately lest the entire of that sum, blew - out his brains the day before yesterday in the Rue Monthahor. (From the Constitutionne/ of Sunday.) A pamphlet entitled " Reclimations into Francais," and attributed to the pen of M. Nugent, has just been seized by order of the King's Pracureur, who has required an accusation, and who issued against the anther a summons to appear, and another against the printer. (From the Gazette de France of Monday.) CHAMBER OF PEERS, OCT. 16. M. D'Argout brought up the report upon icy oral peti tions. One of them gave rise to a long discussion. Se veral of the petitioners state that, being the bearers of a sentence against one of the heirs to a peerage, they pre. sented an Address to the President of the Tribunal of First Instance, who considered it indispen.able to have the sanction mentioned in the 29th Article of the Charter, and sent them back to the President of the Chamber of Peers. These qu►stions, observed the reporter, are painful and delicate, and they have been twice solemnly discussed by the Chamber. It is asked whether the authorization should he demanded by petition or requisition, and how the discussion should take place? Should the Chamber be constituted into a Court of Justice, to j9dge of the plead ings, or upon the production of docuuumts? Should it examine the justice of the decisions which are sought to be enforced, or pronounce a simple exequator Y And, finally, are the officers of the Chamber to be called upon to act. A Special Committee was appoint Al to inquire into those questiotw, and, upon the report of M. Laney, it was determined that no general decision was to he pro nounced, but that it should be guided by the facts of each case, which, of course, might be different. The close of the Session put a stop to the application for this decision. At the end of two years a new petition was presented on the same subject, and, upon the above mentioned decision, the Chamber passed to the Orders of the Day with a weak majority; and the interest excited by the debate showed how deeply the Chamber was connected with this tines. tion. Twelve sittings were devoted to its discussion, and 70 orators were heard ; however, the Chamber remained divided by three opinions, the least absolute of which re ferred to the examination of particular cases. In this state of things, observed the orator, a proposal was directly made to the chamber to refer the examination of this delicate question to another Commission. These conclusions are adopted, and a Commission, composed of MM. Leine, Portalis, Molien, Brissac, and Mortemar, has been appainted. The Minister of Justice presented a project of law relative to the suppression of the Juges Auditeurs. A discussion upon the credit of thirty millions was then commenced. M. Le Comte Roy observed that the dispositions of the project, however generous, were, he was certain contrary to public prosperity. If it was a certain maxim that the State ought not to interfere with private fortunes, ignorant of the success of individual speculations, it ought also to be ignorant of the chance of losses. The English Govern ment never interfere under such circumstances. If he was to be referred to examples of this nature during the empire, be would answer, that the evil once committed did not authorise a continuation in such a line of conduct. Besides, those succours, the inutility of which was now acknowledged, were drawn from a particular fund, which was the fruit of the conquest. It hag been observed that this was a measure dictated by policy; but was the object to procure occupation fur workmen? If so, the State would give the measure its support ; but such was not the cue--this fund was to be distributed to merchants to relieve them from speculations already of an old date, and to manufacturers who would bu enabled to cope with others who had not a share in the distribution, They could not thus create an unjust privilege, besides there would be no advantage for these who would take part of the distribution, as they would be only changing creditors, and substituting the State for those who would be paid out of the public treasury. There were many other ob jections to the measure, and he therefore thought it his duty to vote against it. After a debate, in Which MM. Mourrier, De I3arante lake, and Guizot took part, the law was adopted. The Chamber also' atlopted the ltw upon the importa tion of corn, and thus terminated the sitting. nucxs or STOCKS THIS Bank :Ctock 3 per Cent. Red. 85% 5 IP 3 per Cent. Cons.

The financial measures proposed by the Ministers have definitively pawed the Chamber of Peers. The law on the petty loan of three millions to be advanced to the tree chants, an well as the much better work respecting the law of the corn trade, were adopted in the Session of Saturday. The position of Ministers betrays itself by the manner in which M. Guizot supported the discussion respecting► he former of these laws. All France begins now to feel the false course the Mi nisters have taken. A month ago the elections would probably have run in their favour. Now the opinion of the provinces coincides with that of the capital. It is probable that the new Deputies will in general reinforce the left side, and that there will be a great number of new men among them, who are virgin soil as to connections with the coteries of the restoration, or the servility of the empire, hut belong entirely to new France. Serious apprehensions are entertained about the state of the population of La Vendee, which are said to be erre nised by the Cellists, and ready to declare themselves in a state of open revolt. However, the danger is not so very threatening, since General Lamarque, who has the command of the Western departments, especially watching over La Vendio, has not yet left Paris, where I saw him this evening. Some assemblages of the people took place last night, but they were inoffensive and easily dispersed. The business of the ex-Ministers, which was the pretext, con tinues to trouble every mind, and shakes public security., Thousands of placards are stock up, which demand their death. The awkwardness of tl:e Address of the Cham ber to the King, and the want of skill of the Ministers to extricate themselves, was the coup de grace to their consideration. We have by express the Gazette de France dated yesterday, and other Papers of Monday,. From which we take the following : We learn from Pesen, in Pru►sian Poland, that the mi litary authorities of that country have received orders to disperse any meeting amounting to ten persons which might take place in that town. A detachment of the gar rison which had lately left Posen had been recalled, and the guns of the fort were loaded, and Cartridges were die. tribute(' to the soldiete. Nothwithstanding these precau-' tiona the walla are covered every night with placards and caricatures against the King of Prussia and the Emperor of Russia, as well as provocatiops to rise against the Prussians. The Military llovereor of the provinces, General Reader, has received many threatening lettere. Some Polish . atudents had been arrested, hut were subse quently liberated, their innocence being proved. (From the Patriote ) An Insurrection of the Ukraine is spoken of, and in several parts of Russia, Lithuania, Livonia, and Poland. The peasants are said to have taken arms against the feudal system, and the Imperial Government haul ordered 'lmps to be marched in all haste toward. their districts.— scr i i have no further particulars, and cannot &ululates the truth of this intelligence. The following are extracts from German Papers received this morning : T1112411A, OCT. 7. The Emperor and Empress and his Maj e sty th e C rown Prince are not expected here from. Presburg b e f o r e next week„ Hie Majesty the younger King, Rex junior, (thi s is the legal title of a Prince crowned King of Hungary during hie father's lifetime), was hindered by indisposition fiom taking part in the religious procesaion and the festivities on the same day of hie august father.

In the night of the 2d there was a riot at Meisenheitn, w h e n the arm! of the Prince were pulled down, and the C u stom-house demolished. The ringleader was a broom wakur, who was arrested in the morning and thrown into prison. Towa r d s even i ng a ll t h e citizens, not the pope. ace owe, but the more opulent class, assembled and pro ceeded to the Palace of the B siliff, req u i r i ng t h e release of t h e prisoner, which be was obliged to grant, on Which the armed citizens mounted g uar d. To this measure the restoration of tranquillity is to be ascrihe4. At present a . petition to the Landgrave of Hesse Homburg is prepar paring, in width he is requested to abolish the duties Of customs. All those who are rquainted with the public opinion and the temper of the people, must unite in this expression of the general wish, which daily gains ground in the West of Germany, and is adopted even by men of the most quiet dispositions. Four hundred Prussian artillery will arrives at blayence to-day. Austrian troops are expected, on the 2Sd. Workmen are constantly employed in the fortifications, even on Sundays. If it be time that we should prepare for war, in order to preserve peace, we have well•founded hopes of continuing to enjoy a state of tranquillity. The moneyed men, however, do not appear to be of this opinion, for they refrain from en gaging in any enterprises. Trade declines ; and it is much to be feared that, during the approaching winter, want of employment and the increased price of provisions will cause great distress and additional disorders. HAWAII, OCT. 11. Yesterday and the day before our city was again thrown into alarm by tumultuous assemblages. But tranquillity was speedily established, and this transitory agitation has had no result. The police has issued a notice on this oc casion, which contains several regnlations calculated to in sure tranquillity and binder disturbances. DA RM STA DT, OCT. B. Count Rene de 13ouille had the honour to-day to resew to the Duke the letters of his Sovereign, Philip 1., an. Pouncing his accession. We hare received advices from Canton to the end of March. The cotton market remained much in the same state as the previous accounts, nor was any improvement looked for. The Bombay and Madras consignments remained undisposed of by the Select Committee. New Patna opium was at 800 Spanish dollars. No new Bemires had been brought info the market. Very little Turkey opium was in the market ; the price was quoted at 780. We have copied from an Edinburgh Paper an article on the Ex-King of FRANCE; Which the Caledonian Mercury gives us to understand proceeds from the pcn. of Sir W. SCOTT. The article is curious, though well-meant, and the object rather degrading to the Ex-King, inas much as it is a call on the inhabitants of the Modern Athens for their compassion. They are earnestly supplicated to pity his MAJESTY, and respect his I , grey discrowned head"—a quotation which Sir WALTER has introduced from King Lear, as if to institute a parallel be tween-the sufferings of the two Monarchs. The comparison is artful, but inappropriate. The French King was " discrowned" by his own frantic acts of cruelty ; the English one, by the frantic cruelty of his own children. The former was guilty, the latter unfortunate ; and the words "grey discrowned head," as the illustrious Ba ronet well knows, were applied by Lear to him self, when turned out of doors by his own children, unsheltered, unpitied, and alone, on a wild moor, at a moment when all the elements of earth and sky were in convulsion. The com parison is still further inapplicable, inasmuch as poor Lear died, a beggar and heart-broken, by no misconduct of his own, at the age of "fourscore and upwards ;" while the Ex-King of FRANCE yet lives, well fed, well pensioned, 'with his darling Jesuits about him, and the pri vilege of slaughtering as many poor partridges as may suit his Royal inclination. In another part of his supplication, Sir WALTER speaks of " a Prince under the pressure of misfortunes." Now if such lan guage is applicable to CHARLES the Tenth, it is equally applicable to NERO—or any other tyrant who has been driven from place and power by those whom his own acts have armed against him. If CHARLES be un fortunate, pray who is guilty, or where is the line of distinction to be drawn that separates crime from misfortune ? We protest against this artful special pleading—this appeal to all the maudlin, sickly sympathies of our nature. Let the question rest on its own merits. CriArtrAs has been guilty—deeply guilty; he has imbrued his hands in the blood of his subjects, and despite the excellence of his aim, has been the means of murdering more men than sparrows ; but he has met with his re ward, ho has been hurled from his throne, and driven into exile ; and having been thus punished and effectually prevented from working more mischief, is entitled to the same forbearance (and no more) that any other criminal claims who has expiated his guilt by exile or the scaffold. But not content with insisting on the Iniffor tunes of CHARLES, Sir WALTER talks still further of his gg error" and " rashness." What odious cant is thie I " Error," applied to the Ordinances I " Rashness," to the whole sale massacres of Paris ! If murder be merely a rash act, what, we ask, is a criminal one ? If it be nothing more than rashness to cause whole legions of peaceful citizens to be mowed down by hundreds ; why, then, the mu sacre of St. Bartholome w was only a rash act—a slight error of judgment on the part of CHARLES the Ninth, the rnifortunate predecessor of CHARLES the Tenth. Had Sir W. SCOTT lost a son in . Parise by the Ex-King's " rash ness" or , g error," we should have heard not a word of this sickening cant. The " rashness" would then have deepened into " bigotry," and the " error" into downright murder. We speak in no spirit of disrespect to the illus trious Baronet. As a private man he is irre proachable, as a public one an honour to the age in which he lives, a creator, like SIIAKA• PEARE, in literature, whose genius will die but with the world. Still, great as he is, if instead of discountenancing, he lend his sanction to the propagation of a false theory in sentiment and morals, he deserves to have his fallacies as rigidly —as severely exposed, as if he were the lowest.—the vulgarest.—and the most interested of our modem theory-mongers. With respect to the Ex-Kmo himself, let him look round Holyrood House, and ask why he is there ? If he be satisfied with the answer that his feelings dictate, he needs no pity from the world. H e i s a l rea d y far removed from the reach either of insult or compassion. THE MARKETS.--(THIS DAY). HAY MA 11KETS.....(At per Load of al Trusses.) ST.
