GQf A '"1,7; -4.9 1,0 • kit 4.-4:ft.DA 4 T» o y mzej‘ti!)l fnintit iiit - - - LONDON, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1850, November the 14th will witness the repetition of that charitable entertainment which has in a great measure tended to keep alive among us a feeling of sympathy for an illustrious but unfortunate nation, whose very name has been long since erased from the map of the European continent. Than the sentiments in which these festivities originate none can be more noble, more pure, or more elevated. They are sen timents of a profound commiseration in the fortunes, or rather the misfortunes, of a race as heroic as any in Christendom —one, however, whose glory has been obliterated from the face of the earth, and rendered only a little less legendary than that of the Caliphs of Bagdad, or of the Abencerrages of Granada. Stu dents of history may occasionally pause over the melancholy annals of the past to bewail the disap pearance of a kingdom characterized by so many bril liant illustrations of prowess, and virtue, and patrio tism. Hero- worshippers may exult over the traditionary memorials of SOBIESKI when he conquered the pre datory legions of the Crescent under the very eyes of the affrighted Viennese. The admirers of genius and of civism may lament with an unutterable dejec tion the calamities of that great KosciusKo whose downfall has been identified by a northern poet with the destruction of his country's freedom. Some may sigh over the broken sword of PONIATOWSKI, and others over the broken sceptre of STANISLAUS. Yet, with all this refined sympathy and intellectual com miseration, no actual good might flow from emotions as honourable as *ley are beautiful and persuasive. It is to obviate this very probable, or we might even very safely term it inevitable danger, that the benevo lent originators of the Polish Association have each . year eppeale,d to the public bluntly and compre hensibly to come forward in aid of the desti tute children of Poland, those heirs to an ever memorable calamity. The practice has become at length so established amongst us in the metropolis, that the occasion is scarcely so much looked upon as the renewal of a d e m an d f or an ex hibi t i on of gene rosity as a sort of well-understood anniversary. Th e Polish Ball, in fact, has come at last to be regarded • At once as a favourite charity and a popular amuse ment. • Ag4inst this most inoffensive And beneficent enter tainm-nt frequent attacks have from time to time been levelled, as against something injurious to the inte rests of the population. Any such insinuations as have been thrown out against its promoters we cannot sufficiently reprobate. Instead of wishing well to a scheme inimical to no one individual throughout the community, it would seem that these assailants of the friends of Poland are resolved, if possible, to quash the charity by reiterated misrepresentation. We cannot but regret an evidence of so much and such unpardonable malignity. For it is not as if the subscribers to this same charity were in any way - , 11.gtiged out of their cont r ib u ti ons . Th e i r gu i neas are O - Iwn voluntarily. In additio n t o a ll w hi c h fi r,6 ki 4 .-;, 4 •-•-. W ifi l , p ,t, a , ..74 !" lar. Cl 2 e on% (•I '' sal ~ ,7, it THE S U During a now somewhat considerable period the Common Council of the city of London have permitted these Polish balls to be held in the Guildhall of the metropolis, in this manner enabling the Associa tion to evade the expenses of rental, and at the same time reflecting the highest honour upon the liberality of the metropolitan municipality. We have observed with satisfaction, consequently, that the permission has in this manner been granted to the committee notwithstanding the invidious endeavours of a certain class of individuals to depreciate the character of the entertainment. Every circumstance, indeed, appears to yield promise highly satisfactory to the members of the Polish Association—promise which we most earnestly trust may be realised in abundance on the approaching 14th of November. The position lately assumed by the Papal Court is eminently deserving of the attention, not merely of the Protestant people of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, but also of those moderate and well-disposed members of the Roman Catholic Church, whose undeviating good conduct and exem plary patience, while suffering for a long series of years under an iniquitous and intolerable penal code, eminently merited and gained the heartfelt sympathy of all right-minded men. Day by day the ancient pre judices that had occasioned so much mischief to the best interests of the empire, that divided society into two classes— the oppressors and the oppressed —wore away, until at length the chief vestiges of intolerance —would we could say the last—were erased from the national statute-book, and our Roman Catholic brethren were placed, as they ought to be, on a footing of perfect equality with their fellow-subjects, every species of civil and religious disability was removed, and a man was no longer debarred from serving his country because he worshipped his CREATOR in the manner which in his soul and conscience he believed to be most fitting. But although Catholic Emancipation was calculated to bring to a termination those unhappy differences and disputes that had so long arrayed Irishman against Irishman, something more was required to restore peace to that unhappy land. " The snake was scotched, not killed." The remembrance of former feuds still survived and rankled in the bosoms of the quondam belligerents. A broad line of demarcation existed between the professors of different creeds and those who worshipped the same CREATOR, and trusted to the saving mercies of the same REDEEMER, still kept aloof and apart, re garding each other with mutual distrust and suspi cion. This untoward state of affairs, so injurious, we might say fatal, to the welfare and prosperity of their common country, so likely to produce " Civil dissension, with its viprous tooth, That gnaws the boweli of the commonweal," could only be ameliorated by the diTersion of those mists which, accumulating during successive ages, obscured the vision of both parties. It was necessary that they should be brought together in early youth, and made well acquainted with each other, that they might no longer lend an easy cre• dence to the wicked fictions or no less cul pable exaggerations of designing men, who for their own vile purposes would divide the nation into hostile parties, that they themselves, like the " scum in a whirlpool," might be flung to the surface, and enabled to sell for filthy lucre the interests of those weak-minded and credulous persons who permitted themselves to be made the tools of the unscrupulous agitators. This could only be achieved by education —education, not separate and exclusive, but mixed and general, the rising generation of all creeds assembling round the same rostrum, and receiving sound instruc tion from the same master, without having obnoxious tenets forced upon . their attention, in direct opposition to the wishes and reasonable desires of their parents and,the pastors and ministers of the faith in which they were born, and which they were brought up to reverence and venerate. It was under such circumstances that the system of national education, in Ireland, one of the most be neficial and admirable measures of the present, or of any preceding age, was called into existence. It was a wise and statesmanlike effort to assuage the irri tation, and soothe the angry passions of the Irish people. But, unfortunately, it was not received with the cordial unanimity which it so emi nently deserved. It was rejected by a majority of those who should have been the first to hail the golden opportunity afforded of general instruction. Much misconception existed as to its aims, and un fortunately there were those who would not be con vinced of its real objects. The clergymen of the Established Church in Ireland, as a body, refused to avail themselves of the advantages offered by the State for the instruction of the people. Be , cause proselytism and propagandism were dis couraged, they declared that the system was op posed to religion, and because they were not allowed to inculcate their own doctrines and tenets on the ductile minds of youth, they raised the cry of "God less and unscriptural education," denounced the entire system, and refused to co-operate in any degree with the Government. Never was a more grave or serious mistake committed by any body of men. They surrendered all share in the education of the rising generation, and relinquished the position which they might have occupied to the Roman Catholic clergy. A few of the more enlightened, tolerant, and liberal pastors alone gave in their adhesion, and esta blished schools on the national foundation in thei r respective parishes, and they had their reward in the great amelioration that many of them lived to witness in the condition of their flocks. As a body, the Roman Catholic clergymen acted a wiser and more reasonable part. They appre ciated the boon offered by the Government, and gladly and gratefully accepted the tendered aid. They knew that it was not " a G odless education " — that all that was required w as th at merely secular in struction should be afford e d d ur i ng certain portions of the day, when all the pupils were assembled toge ther, and that other hours were devoted to religious instruction, when those whose parents did not object might and would be instructed in the principles and duties of their respective creeds. In practice it was found to work admirably ; the priests had no cause to regret the laudable course they pursued, while more than half a million of children of both sexes received a sound practical education, which prepared them to enter upon "the battle of life." There were, it is true, a few ecclesiastical fire brands, a few intolerant bigots, to be found in the Roman Catholic, as well as in the Protestant Church-- men whose vocation was to sow strife and animosity among their respective flocks. They had "a Roland for an Oliver." If we could boast " a HARRY of Exeter," they could exult in " a JOHN of Tuam ;" if we had " a PHILLPOTTS," they had.likewise " a 'WHALE." tle to choose bet ween the i There veto; P.-rhaps, but lit they receive, so to speak, full value for their money in the brilliant reunion which each winter renders the otherwise gibomy saloons of Guildhall animated with the votaries of Terpsichore. Yet this latter cir cumstance is the very one which has not unfrequently been vilified as the most deserving of reprobation in the whole enterprize. As if the harmless enjoy ment of the annual frequenters of the enter tainment militated in any one respect against the excellence of the charity itself, or tended in any one way to diminish its beneficial influence over its recipients. When men and women are assembled together after a bloody saturnalia like that of the Reign of Terror, the beaux of the ball-room wearing miniature guillotines in their buttonholes, and the ladies placing them in their bosoms as appropriate brooches—when in this manner the survivors of that tremendous epoch endeavoured to gather funds for the relief of the widows and orphans of such as had fallen under the merciless rule of the Triumvirs—when in this way the youths and maidens still left in Pori: danced amidst the ashes and blood of that devastated capital—the mind naturally recoils from a mode cf alleviating suffering so frivolous and wild , hearted as to be absolutely repulsive. But when years have passed since the final partition of Poland—when at a remote period, and in a distant country, an entertainment of a most harmless character is contrived with a view to relieve the privations of a body of ill-starred refu gees—it must be confessed that we can see only strong reasons for approval and admiration. Hence, there fore, it is, that we are even solicitous to witness the fortunate completion of a labour oflove and kindness so generously and propitiously commenced—a labour only pecuniarily profitable to a class of persons otherwise helpless and unassisted. LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 31, 1850. extViines of either party. But, happily, for a time, the bigots were powerless, and the course of national education flourished in aland. There was, how ever, one drawback—the system was directed solely to the instruction of the humbler and less wealthy classes. There was for many years no attempt' at the amalgamation of the middle and upper classes of the country, who were still kept separate and apart. At length an effort was made to provide an adequate remedy for the admitted evil. The new Provincial Colleges were founded, which was prac tically a much -required extension of the principle of national education which had worked so well in the country. We shall, on a future occasion, show the manner in which that admirable project has been re ceived, and the error into which a majority of the Roman Catholic Prelates, acting under instructions from the Papal Court, have fallen. Our space this day prevents us from entering into the consideration, but many circumstances induce us to believe, as we earnestly hope, that the unwise and impolitic oppo sition offered to the project will be as ineffectual as chat formerly shown by the Protestant clergy to the national education. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The differences between the Cabinet and General CHANGARNIER have, it would appear, b ecome ir reconcilable; and e PRESIDENT of the Republic is now saluted in the journals of " order," as they call themselves (meaning by " order " the retoration of the old " jobbing" system of the monarchy), with those amenities which have hitherto been reserved exclusively for the members of the Left. The Ordre, which speaks the sentiments of MM. ODILON, BAR ROT and Tetteas,_ . gives the followi ng , w hi c h may b e considered the CIIANGARNIER version of the story of this falling out : " The replacing of the old Minister of War has ren• dered more ardent the desire to open, by another breach, the aggression against the Commandant-in-Chief of the army of Paris. Listen to what has been done, and these details will make you acquainted with it. Under the superior command of the illustrious General is placed the Chief of the Ist Division, Gene ral Neumayer, whose irreproachable name is the symbol of military virtue. General Neumayer, at the last re view at Satory, rendered himself guilty of an unpardon able fault, not in interdicting by a formal order the cry of Viva l'Emperear, or any other cry under arm', as prescribed by the regulations, but of making known to the officers who consulted him personally, that, in his opinion, as an old soldier, he considered it more proper to preserve silence in the ranks. For this tact, and for this alone, and without any o th er k nown pretext (one will doubtless be sought for) his removal has been de manded. General Changarnier, who had least shared in the faults of his subordinate, and who had blamed more warmly than he did any seditious cries, considered that he was bound in honour to protect General Neu mayer, to whom no reproach for the exercise of his functions was or could be addressed. He therefore in terfered with authority as chief, and with the straight forwardness which characterizes all his actions, declaring that if General Neumayer was unjustly punished, be should consider himself as attacked. This was known, and the Ultra-Bonapartists hoped that he would thus be compelled to tender his resignation, and this step was impatiently looked for. Nevertheless, dur ing four days, in consequence of the scruples and of the resistance of some Ministers, the iniquitous dismissal of General Neumayer has remained in sus pense. Now it is pronounced. It has been signified to the General himself by the Minister of War, and by the President of the Republic, who both one and the other wished to leave the hope to this old soldier that at a later period a new post would be found for him. We know that General Neumayer, strong in his rectitude, and not willing to expose himself to receive such a price for his loyal services, made known to the Minister of War, in a respectful letter, that he would accept no other post in return for that which had just been taken from him. In the Council of Ministers, which sat until three o'clock yesterday, the removal of General Neumayer was officially decided on. General Changarnier was derisively invited to point out a successor to the chief of the Ist military divisions, whom he was not able to protect; he formally refused to take any part in an act of such a nature. Such are the facts. Unless some sudden and unexpected event determines the President of the Republic and the Council of Mini sters to alter their decision on an act which, at least morally, engages their:double responsibility, the re moval of General Neumayer will be to-morrow pub lished in the Aloniteur. We do not think that any one will have the hardihood to deny the exactitude of this recital; but the cause which we have assigned for the dismissal of one of the most repectable generals of the army will doubtless be disputed. Even this denial can not be long supported, for the cause of his removal was made known to General Neumayer in the presence of a witness whom it will not be easy to contradict. It is unnecessary to insist on the gravity of these events. We pity the President of the Republic for not having under stood that General Changarnier, of whom the Assembly by its votes, and the country by its wishes have con curred to strengthen the position, was not, as it has not ' been thought p ro p er const , nt l y to repe-tr, a simple su bordinate of the Minister of War, but the popular de fender of the laws, the formidable enemy of factions, and the strongest bulwark of society. General Changar tiler will consider himself personally attacked, and what ever may be the personal pledges which the President on his side may have hitherto given to the cause of or(!er, it will think itself less sure of its future from the moment when it shall see such an unhappy division in the two forces which have protected it in days of trial and danger." The Ordre was right in its conjecture; for, not withstanding a Cabinet Council was held on Tuesday at the Klysee, as late as eleven o'clock at night, to consider this very matter, nothing, it oppears, trans pired of a nature to determine the PRESIDENT of the Republic and the Council of Ministers to alter their decision ; and accordingly, we find in the Mo ssiteur of yesterday the following ordonnance "In the name of the French people the President of the Republic decrees— " Art. 1. The General of division de Rostolan, su perior commandant of the Bth, 9th, and 10th military divisions, remains charged with the command of the 8 ets division (Montpellier). He will have besides the su perior command of the 7th and 9th military divisions, of which the chief towns are Marseilles, and Perpignan. "Art. 2. The General of division, Loyse d'Arbonville. commanding the 1 1 th, 12th, and 14th military divisions, remains charged with the command of the 12th division (Bordeaux). He will have besides the command of the 10th and 11th military divisions, of which the chief towns are Toulouse and Bayonne. "Art. a. The General of division, Neumayer, com manding the Ist military division, is named to the:corn matid of the 15th military division (Rennes) in place of General Duvivier, allowed to retire. He will have be sides the superior command of the 14th military division (Nantes). " Art:4. The Minister of War is charged with the execution of this di cree. "Done at the palace of the Elysee National, the 29th of October, 1850. (Signed) "The Minister of War, Schramm." The Ordre is the most moderate in its attacks on the Elysee of any of the Bourbonist journals. The Assemblie Nationale, the journal of General CIIAN• GARNIER, is furious in its onslaught upon "the princi ple of authority," as the hankerers after an Imperialist Absolutism delight to designate the PRESIDENT of the Republic, whose acts and whose authority are de fended by the Pattie against these attack, in the fol lowing article : " In the midst of the ruins of al our persuasions and enthusiasms, with which the ground is strewed, the only compass that can guide us to the future out of the pre sent obscurity is the principle of authority; do not let us break that compass. And when an energetic and honest voice is heard proclaiming the laws of discipline, and recalling to mind the rules of military hierarchy, let us not drown it with our clamour, but applaud it, for hierarchy and discipline are the bases of the principle of authority. They are the safeguard of unity of counsel and action in the state; the strength of the army and the power of the Administration. There is not a man, whatever be the rank he has obtained from the confi dence of the Chief of the State, that should not submit to those bulwarks of order. Even splendid servic,s can not free a man from the duty of respect for administra tive and military rules. Glory obliges as much as nobility, and it is from above chiefly that the example of obedience and fidelity ought to be given. This is what the moderate journals—who seem anxious to prove that the Commander-in-Chief of the army of Paris is responsibk for his acts to none but the Assembly— ought forget; for the principl es we h ave just laid down form noo what may be called the elementary notions of the science of government. This morning, never etheeelfiesasi,oethebilets:eo et:bige th Nat i onale Tat.monilaitlearystillamotahkoer) which General strange confusion General Changarnier holds from the President, and the legislative power which is only responsible to the Constitution. After having created a fantas tical h joint a f of res the ponsibility f between par a ae d takes a pleasure in developing this truly singular theory, —namely, that any act which should, whether justly or un justly, excite the jealousy of the Illustrious General, is to be considered by the Parliamentary majority, as a measure directed against the latter.

What there can be by the side of the two great responsible powers of the St ate, i nstituted by the Constitution, a third irresponsible power created by the President by an act of his'authority, and which, nevertheless, would only make one with the Assembly, and which would, how ever, be out of the pale of Governmental action! Such a monstrous heresy requires no refutation. There is not, there cannot be in the State two equal chiefs, two rival influences, in a word, two executive powers. The Con stitution does not per m i t i t, and if it did, reason is op posed to it with not less force." A meeting of the Permanent Committee of the Assembly will be held to-day, and it i s sa id th a t an immediate convoc a ti on of the Assembly will be pro posed, and probably carried. We find the following in the P ar i s Cerrespondence " Louis N. B. o f the lndependance of Brussels :—" M. D'lleuTrouL has left Paris; things have been arranged between him and M. BOURJOLLY, offing to the intervention of General BARAGUAY D'HILLIERS, who was sent to him by the PRESIDENT Of the Republic. In this case the PRESIDENT has acted with personal kindness. It was represented, with some reason, to General BOUR. JOLLY that the precedent of a Minister being held responsible in the field for what occurred under his administration could not be allowed to be established. It is:not known, however, if this objection, legitimate as it is, will be well received in the army, which is but ill disposed towards M. D'llAuTrouL, and which is very sympathetic to General BOURJOLLY, on account of his military services. M. r PEBSIGNY arrived in Paris yesterday, from Berlin. The Evenement states that M. GENT, who had been arrested at Lyon s , h as b een liberated. If we needed any proof that this alleged conspiracy was altogether a " sham," concocted by the police for the gratification of certain hatreds, we should find it in the fact that an actress in one of the Parisian theatres has been arrested on a charge of complicity in this Lyons conspiracy. Actresses are the last persons in the world to turn conspirators, and it is not in the coulisses of a theatre that the Red Republicans would beat up for recruits. The lady has, probably, been " cruel" to some one in authority, andlis caged to make her compliant ; such treatment of recalcitrant actresses is in accordance with the time-honoured traditions of the Courts, both of the GRAND MONARQUE and of the EMPEROR. The trial of persons connected with the conspiracy at Oran, was brought to a conclusion on the 12th instant, when thirty of the accused, four of whom were in default, were found guilty of con spiring to change the Government, and condemned to the following punishments :—Andre alias Arnaud, to seven years' imprisonment ' • La quille Aussenao, B ruc h et, Ch appu i s, Violle, Royer, Marcel, and Sciacalonga, to five years ; Morel, Drouet, Roussillon, and Starillas (in default) to five years ; Roux, Delaruelle, Rebuffut, Cice, Ruelle, and Laffitte, to three years; Duvernoy, Cassignole, Cohen, Gayet, sen., Gaucherot, Robin, and Bousquet, to two years ; Rievens and SoLday to fifteen months; and Duverger and Fauchon to one year. Twenty others were con demned to different terms of imprisonment, varying from three year: to six months, for having formed part of a secret association. They were all, move over, condemned to lose their civil rights. Out of the above number seventeen were employed in diffe rent capacities wider Government. M. FBAs/cote.

Leipsic accounts of the 24th inst. report most favour ably of the great fair just brought to a conclusion. To-morrow being the Ist of November will be ob served as a holiday at the Stock. Exchange. The English Funds have been without any particular alteration, and there is not a great deal doing in them. The Commissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt have bought as usual, but the political intel ligence from abroad hinders the public from making investments. Consols have been 96* k for Transfer, and 964 k for Account. Bank Stock has been quoted 2114 to 2121, being as advance. The New Three-and-a- Quarter per Cents. are 974 k, and the Three per Cents. 95k to 96. Exchequer-bills are 655. to 68a. premium, and India Bonds 85s. to 885. premium. The Foreign Market has been very dull. Mexican Bonds, as usual when the account is adjusted, have risen, and are 31k to 32k; Peruvian are 801, and Buenos Ayres 57i. Spanish Three per Cents, have been 38 k. The accounts received from Madrid this morning are favourably interpreted, for besides the intention :of the Government to carry out important reductions in the war and other official departments, it is stated that Lord Howden will be very likely to give efficient support to the foreign creditors. Railway Shares are still comparatively heavy, and there are but few exceptions. Great Western suffer from the reduction of traffic, but the other lines have had fair takings. The last week's Railway receipts, ascertained up to this day, are in round figures as under:-- 1850. 1849 Great Western £16,359 ... £16,428 North-Western South-Western 10,484 ... 9,835 Brighton .... Midland South-Eastern North Stafford Caledonian Upon the condition of the Railway Share Market, Messrs. John Railton and Sons, of Manchester, forwarded us the following remarks:— " In reference to our last week's statement, ending with the 22d instant inclusive, of the unguaranteed capi tal of the twenty-three most marketable lines, we started with on the 26tk of April last, at the then prices; by taking one share in each, amounting together to 7331. 16s. 3d., we have now to state tho result of the week ending with yesterday inclusive, which shows no variation in three lines, a loss of 241. 17s. 6d. on nine teen lines, and a gain of IL on one line, or 31. ss. 3d. per cent, to deduct from the 191. 12s. 3d. gain per cent. at the end of the former week; leaving the total gain since the 26th of April 16/. 7s. per cent., or 1194 12s. 2d. profit on the outlay of 733/. 16s. 3d., on the 26th of April. To whatever the sudden change in the state of the railway share market may be ascribed, it is very certain that the want of better information along with the weekly statement of the traffic returns very mate rially retards the return of public confidence to railway property in every respect, and it behoves shareholders to procure it through the medium of the board of directors, otherwise, how can any one unacquin , ed with the fact come near to the knowledge of a probable dividend with out an estimate can be formed of all the covering ex penses to set against it? A weekly return of the unpaid overdue calls is another important item to be stated, and the purposes to which they apply." Consols ...

PLAYING CARDS ON A SUNDAY.—On Sunday week a Catholic clergyman, in Flintsbire, obtained informatio n that a number of his ock were playing at cards in a house near his dwelling, and he immediately started off to their un godly rendezvous, and caught several Irishmen in the fact. Ile forthwith seized a whip, which was at hand, and be laboured his erring flock most unmercifully, till one and all cried out for pity, and promised never to break the Sabbath in like manner again. The worthy pastor at length, some what appeakd, lett them, with an awful denunciation should they again transgress. "By cried one of the party, after his reverence had departed, rubbing his shoulders, " begging his pardon, I think that gentleman has been apt to help his father's workmen thrash at times."

A MILK-AND-WATER STORY. —Lately, a living trout was found swimming in the "new milk" supplied by a contractor to the Eillarney workhouse, - - - - It is stated in the Elberfeld Gazette that the Prus sian Minister to the Court of Bavaria has received orders from the Prussian Foreign Minister to hold him self in readiness to leave at a moment's notice. The Bavarian Foreign Minister has received a no tice from the Berlin Cabinet, that if Bavaria makes any hostile demonstration, in support of the decision of the Frankfort Federal Club, against Hesse, Prussia will make reprisals. The Independence of Brussels of yesterday says:— " The news from Germany may be summed up in one word—expectation. All regards are turned towards Warsaw, as it is there we are assured that will be de cided, in the conferences of the Emperors of Austria and Russia, assiste4 by Prince Schwartzenberg and Count Brandenburg, representatives of Prussia, all the questions which at present agitate Germany—those of Hesse, Schleswig, the supremacy of Austria and Prussia. In spite of all the rumours of war, of marches and coun ter-marches, it is believed at Vienna, as at Berlin, that peace will be th e resu lt o f the confidences of Vienna. Under the powerful mediation of Russia, the two rival Governments of Germany will succeed in coming to an understanding. At whose expense? We will not anti cipate, but it is permitted to suppose that it will not he precisely to the advantage of constitutional ideas. Prussia may have its free conferences, but she will pay for them dearly, as there will probably be no more Cen tral Partial:tient in Germany—an indefinite adjournment of thn Phrliament of the Union—an arbitral tribunal for the Heyman questipn (that is, no doubt, a proclamation of the tight of the Elector against the States), and, finally, •an intervention in the Duchies—an armed in tervention if the Lieuter.ancy-General refuses to submit without some concessions from Denmark. Such, it is said, will be the result of the conferences of Warsaw, but our readers will understand that these are only con jectures."
