NEW WORK BY MISS STRICKLAND. Immediately, in 1 vol. post Bvo., elegantly bound, with Portrait of the Author, HISTORIC SCENES, by AGNES STRICKLAND, Author of - "LIVES OF THE QUEENS OF ENGLAND,' Sze. Henry Colburn, Publisher, 13, Great Marlborough-street. Orders received by Ell Booksellers and at all the Libraries. Now ready at all the Libraries, in 2 vols., post A NOVEL. • 0 D. " The author, we are renv i nce d. is young, otherwise we could hardly see displayed such fresh and enthusiastic sympathy in be half of his heroes and heroines. He is a writer of genius, inspired by a high standard of morality and religion, and by a laudable love of the purest sort of fame. We gather this from the glowing lan guage i which he expresses his feelings, sentiments, and opinions on the subjects just mentioned. There are several chapters, in which links of the story are dropped, containing most eloquent essays on matters that are the prima mobilla of the actions which cha racterise nature's nobility. Tha writer evidently belongs, though he has marked per se peculiarities, to the school of the Disraeli.% Man- Larses, and Smythes."—Observe - . sa wood' is no ordinary work ; it contains passages of exceed ng beauty, and is written in pure and forcible language, with great good taste and power. It is one of the most interesting and en gaging novels which the present season has produced. Of the cha racter of Amelia Rom we have already spoken, and the extract we .have given above is the surest voucher of the truth of what we have said. The other ladies who play conspicuous parts in the tale are Florence. Howard, an intellectual beauty; Jessie Gordon, a wild and mpnisive genius, passionately fond of music and poetry; and Julia Maitland, the noblest and best of them all."—Morning Post.

Nothing seems to allay their diseased appetite for exercising authority over the morals of the population. That is to say, if the morals of the po pulation mean the knock of the postman or the ring of the milkwoman, the cry of the seller of fruit or of -- the vencict: of mackerel, the brushing of boots or the washing of linen. Another intolerable illustration has just been afforded of the spirit in which these modern Pharisees regard the observance of the Sun day. What we would here render the object cf ge neral attention is an incident recently recounted in the columns of one or two of our provincial contemporaries under the attractive title of " Sabbath Prelanatioe." A brief and rapid statement will be amply suffieient to shoe , the sinful character of the proceedings thus entitled, proceedings no less awful and criminal than the washing of a shirt on a certain Sunday morning ! It appears from the statements made in the local newspapers that one JOHN WBAUGUT, matter of the sehoon4r Parvenu, of Stralsund, " did permit ADOLPHS GRAHAM, a hand on board his vessel, in profanation of the Sabbath, and in breach of the regulations, to wash clothes therein to the annoyance of the lieges." Whereupon the said &MN WRAIIGHT was duly summoned, according to the authority of the 81st Article of the ltiver and Harbour Regulations at Glasgow; in the River Police- Court, before the Worshipful Bailie PEARgON. -Con victed of the before-mentioned heinous offence, the culprit was formally mulcted in the sum of seten shillings and sixpence, the worshipful and sanctimo nious magistrate being resolved to avail himself of the opportunity for the purpose of preventing, if possible, any similar profanation of the so called Sabbath. Now, we are bold to say that acts such as these are not only derogatory to the cause of religion, but injurious to the influence of the" laws of England. Indignant at the treatment re ceived under those laws, the master of the vessel above particularised, himself a subject of King LEOPOLD, threatened to appeal for redress and protec tion to the Belgian Consul; and, although ultimately induced to pay the-fine impcsed upon him by Baillie PEARSON, it is related of this JOIIN WRA UGH T that he most sturdily insisted upon his right to wash clothes, or to have clothes washed, when he thought proper, even in the presence of Queen Vic- Tome, if he felt so inclined. ,There is not we are sa tisfied in the length and breadth cf the United Kingdoms a sensible and unprejudiced Englishman who will not sympathise most cordially in that spirit of independence and indignation with which the Bel gian sea-captain protested against the unconscionable domination of the Sabbatariens. Without having recourse. to the flowing metaphors or refined verbiage of Billingsgate, we- think we may be allowed in all possible truthfulnes3 cf expression to term any one who would applaud the above pro eeeding—we speak with all clearness and distinctness THE SUN, of phraseology—a nasty beast. Talk of sanitary im provements, forsooth, with such ideas as those preva lent among certain classes of the population ! The notion of any such sweeping schemes in the way of puri fication must surely after this appear little less than alto gether preposterous. Hitherto, indeed, the saying has been from time immemorial that" Cleanliness is next to Godliness." In the creed of our Scottish Sabat tarians, however, it would seem that Dirt and Divi nity are identica'. Whatever can lay claim now-a days to the privilege of being particularly filthy would appear to be especially worthy of veneration among this unclean section of religionists. To speak to them .of " whitened sepulchres" would be to pervert their ideas of morality, and virtually to talk above their comprehension. According to their estimate of the phrase it would mean that religion necessitated habits of physical impurity, insomuch that the polishing of a shoe, the shaving of a beard, the rinsing of a scrap of linen in the wash tub, would be acts not very far removed from being ab solutely Satanic. Than this we cannot conceive any more degrading or erroneous notion of religion. Certainly we can imagine none more peculiarly des picable and repulsive. It transforms what is in its nature divine into something smelling intensely of the earth, earthy. It degrades the dogmas of Christianity into the ordinances of filth, into the commandments not of priestliness but of beastli ness. Acting upon such impressions the community would very speedily degenerate into a state of peri odical and disgusting stagnation. The :Sundays would become the moral cloacae of society, plunging it at intervals into a condition too foul to admit even of conjecture. If carried . into effect, the offence of the multitude would very speedily be like that of the King of DENIVILRIC—" rank, and smell to heaven ! " It is against this evil consequence of Sabbatarianism that we would battle as strenuously as against its most perr.icious moral tendency. Our opposition to it is attributable, not merely to our religious convic tions of the wholesomeness of Christianity, but also, and in a particular manner, to our conscientious opinions as the advocates of Sanitary Improvement. " There is at present no probability of success for any sedition against you, but neither is there any probability of success for any sedition in your favour." Such were the words addressed by M. DUPIN, the Orleanist President of the French National Assembly, to LOUIS NAPOLEON BONAPARTE, the President of the French Republic, and as it has been shrewdly conjectured that Louis NAPOLEON BONAPARTE would have no objection to ba " something more " than President of the French Republic, and as it is certainly known that M. DUPIN would do and has done everything that he could do with safety to destroy the Republic, and to restore the Orleans dynasty to the throne, we take these words of M. DUPIN to be the valuable testimony of an unwilling witness to the stability and permanence of Republican in stitutions in France. In February, 1848, we were told by the reactionary journals, and by the reactionary Peers, that the Republic was a surprise, that it could not last, because it could not preserve order, and that the then Moderate Republic would be de stroyed by the anarchists, to put down whom the nation would hail the restoration of Absolute Monarchy. The month of June, 1848, belied that prophecy ; the Moderate Republic was found strong enough to put down by force the attempts of the most unnatural coalition ever formed— the coalition between the Communists and the Mo• narchists, for the mast mischievous purpose, that ol the disorganization of society, and the true Republic was consolidated by the means by which its enemies sought its destruction. The Constitution was formed, proclaimed, and accepted, and under the Constitution the first President was elected. As a homage of gratitude to NAPOLEON his nephew was elected first President of the French Republic, and from that moment the intrigues of the reactionary party began for the restoration of monarchy in France. Every engine that could be employed was set to work 'to destroy the Republic ; offices of trust and profit were bestowed exclusively on those .who were known to be Monarchists ; to be a Republican was the only bar to office under the Re public ; all official influences were shamelessly used to inflict " a heavy blow and great discouragement" on Republicans and en Republican institutions ; the priests almost to a man were leagued together for the destruction of the institutions which protected them, and which assured to them that liberty for which fur twenty years they had clamoured, and which only prevented them from persecuting others ; every means that could be devised were employed to corrupt the army, a con siderable section of which was sent to Rome to be indoctrinated in the principle of hatred to Repub-. lican institutions ; the foreign correspondents of our English reactionary journals, acting as the mouth-pieces of the police and of the re actionary conspirators of the Continent, were repeat ing, usgue ad nauseam, that the Republic was repu diated by the great 'majority of the French people, and must inevitably fall ; and yet, nothwithstanding all the false-dealings of treacherous friends, notwith standing all the machinations and plottings of secret enemies, notwithstanding "all the prayers and the prophecies" of the CARLIER dictated correspondence of the reactionary journals-in spite of the efforts of the Society of the 10th of December—in spite of the manifestoes of Wiesbaden, and the intrigues cf - St. Leonard's and Richmond, we find that the results of -the PAESI DENT'S journey through the French Departments, and of the experience of M. Durrsr of the feelings ex pressed in the Councils-General, has been to wring from the latter a reluctant confession that no sedition agains t the Republic has the remotest cht.nce of suc cess. We have always maintained this opinion, and from February, 1848, up to the present pe riod have never hesitated to declare that we felt no apprehensicns as regards the stability of the Republican institutions of France, because in the present sccial and political condition of that country a Republic is the only possible form. of go vernment which has any chance of stability, and we are rejoiced to find that our opinion is supported by that of so accomplished a statesman zs M. DupEN. In the meantime it wcuki be Veil that the "fo reign correspondents" of English reactionary journals should, f►r their own reputation's sake, be somewhat more " chary" of their prophecies of the immediate destruction of the Republic. C'est un M4chant metier que celui de prophetiser, as they may find one day to their cost. JENNY LIND IN AMERICA.—A private letter from New York, speaking of the Jenny Lind furor, says—" The Lind, you will see, has arrived safely. Tickets for her open ing concert sold very high ; the first for 225 dolls. (about 451. sterling), but the second fetched 25 dolls. only (51. sterling). It seems to be considered that Barnum got a per,onal friend to run up the price at a e outset, to induce the public to fol low, but at such prices few of the verdant school were to be foand. The folk here are decidedly mad after Jenny. A friend yesterday told me he saw on Saturday a number of men and boys sitting on Stewart's new building ' opposite the Irving - house, about six P. M . , watch i ng for the Nightingale. On returning about ten the mob still remained. Two or three ladies were on the balcony, but it was too dark to dis tinguish whether Jenny was one of the select party. The crowd, however, imagined she was there, and that was suffi cient for them. One of the ladies, after eating a peach, threw the stone over the balcony, when a tremendous rush took place to secure what was presumed to be precious momesto of the fair songstress, and a regular street fight nearly ensued. m y friend tells me he saw, and it is a fact. Another st n et is y freely circulated is, that a glove of Jenny's has been picked up, and the fortunate finder is charging (so it is re ted) is. for an outside and .. 2s. foran i.riside kiss of the ported) sm mice ocr article. The old aphon , , will assuredly apply under such circumstance!. ROYAL MILITARY ACADEMY.—WOOLWICII, SEPT . 23.—Major-General Parker, C. 8., Lieutenant-Governor o f the Royal Military Academy, and a number of the rank and fashion of the neighbourhood, including several parties from London, assembled on the ground in front of the. Gentlemen Cadets' Barrack, on the. afternoon of Saturday last, to witness for the third time the athletic games held by the gentlemen cadets; and the afternoon being remarkably Sue, the manly sports were carried on with great spirit, and the scene was of a most animated description for 'upwards of three hours. A silver bugle was given to the competitor who was the first in the greatest number of games, to be held until the next athletic games, when it will be again contested for in the same manner. It was en this occasion delivered to Mr. Temple, who was victorious in no less than six of the games. The fifes and drums of the Royal Artillery band were on the ground during the afternoon, and played between the races. On the conclusion of the spOrts, the prizes were delivered to the successful competitors in the Hall; after which the full band of the Royal Artillery played concerted pieces for the remainder of the evening. GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.—The excursion train from Oxford ::nd Banbary yesterday brought 1,000 persons up to Paddington.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday ;;;;es timateel at from 8,000 to 9,000 bales, cf which 1,000 America, 500 Pernam and Maranham, and 500 Bahia were taken by speculators. The market closed with prices of American and all other kinds, except Egyptian and Sea Islands, d. to id. per lb. dearer than on Friday last. The sales comprised about 5,000 American, 1,000 Pernam and Maranham, at Bd. to 81d.; 1,000 Bahia, at 7id. to Bild.; 500 Surat, at sd. to 6ed., and 50 Sea Is lands, at Is. lid. to Is. 4id. par lb.—ln Railway Shales a fair business was done, and the market closed firmly. In a statement upon the Dried Fruit trade, Messrs. Witherby and Hanson report as under:—" The arrivals which we noticed on the 23d ult. were the close of the shipment of the 1849 crop. A cargo has since been re ceived at Liverpool. The screw steam-ship Nautilus left Patras on the 4th instant, with new fruit for this port; two schooners suiled on the previous day. The London clearances for home consumption, which were on the increase last month, have again fallen eff; having been only 540 tons from 19th ult. to 18th inst., against 775 tons during the like period of 1849, and against 410 tons and 870 tons in 1848 and 1847. At Liverpool there has also been a falling otf during the last four weeks. This has been partly occasioned in London by the holders of currants having withdrawn their fruit from the market on the 6th instant, in consequence of the intelligence of serious damage to the crop from heavy rain at the end of last month, a fact which has been fully confirmed by later advice& The market has since been in an uusettled state; the trade, though unusually bare of stock, preferring to await the arrival of tie new crop. A few purchases have, however, been made within the last few days at an advance of 2s. to 23. 6d. per cwt. upon the rates of last mouth. Gelph Fruit at 375. to 375. 6d., and Patras 41s to 41s 6d. We are not aware of any Island fruit having been sold; one quotation for that description is, there. fore, even more nominal than that of Patras. Five car goes of Raisins have arrived at Liverpool, and are selling freely at 40s ; three or four at Bristol, and one at Ply mouth. The fruit, so far, appears good, and of a keep ing quality. We have had arrivals also of Muscatels in layers, opening price 753., now 655.; and of Sultanas, about 5,000 drums, held at our quotations, without find ing buyers." It appears from the following letter, addressed by Cardinal ANTONELLI to the Marquis DE SPINOLA, the Sardinian Charge d'Affaires at Rome, that the PorE makes common cause with the rebellious Archbishop of TURIN, and is doing his best to foment a rebellion in the states of a neighbouring and friendly Power. The letter is dated Sept. 2, and is as follows :—• " Tho events which have taken place at Turin, after the death cf the Chevalier Pietr o de Rossi de Santa Rosa, Minister of Commerce of his Sardinian Majesty, are a fresh cause of bitter grief to the Church, and to its august head. The violation committed against the ecclesiastical immunity, by the series of facts which called forth the former protests of his Holiness, and to which hitherto no attention has been paid, has been ag gravated in the capital of the Sardinian States, where the lay power has not feared to mix itself up in questions solely relating to the adcainis!ration of the sacraments. The cc • clesiastical authority having thought fit not to accord to the said minister the sacrament of the Eucharist, unless he first rectified by a proper act the position in which he had placed himself with respect to the Church, in taking part in the promulgation of anti-canonical laws, this act was alleged against the sacred ministers, and, in consequence, they were acted against without any at tention being paid to their sacred character. Hence was seen a series of severe measures against tLe priesthood, the violent expulsion of the cm 6 of St. Charles, and of all the religious family to which it belongs, the arrest of the Archbishop of Turin and his confinement in the fortress of Fenestrella, without speaking of the perqui sitions made a short time after in the prelate's residence. The sole enumeration of such acts appears to be suffi cient to demonstrate what a grave responsibility their authors have incurred before the Church. It is the ministers of the Church alone who are to decide to whom the sacraments are to be administered, and in such performance of their duty they are to be guided by no other rules than those given them by the higher authorities of the Church. That being the case, it is easy to see what an insult has been offered to the Church by the secular authority arrogating to itself the right of deciding in matters which concern the sacraments, and how offensive are the hostile mea sures adopted in contempt of the priestly character, and especially the now act of violence against the sacred person cf the Archbishop of Turin. At the sight of such deplorable events the aaction with which the mind of the Holy Father is filled, on account of the dreadful situation cf ecclesiastical things in a Catholic kingdom like Sardinia, increases beyond measure. His Holiness, to satisfy the duties imposel upon him by his august character of supreme clisf of the Catholic Church, has expressly enjoined the un dersigned cardinal, Secretary of State, to pre test formally against these deplorable acts, and to ask, in his name, the reparation which is due to him. The Holy Father, who, in the case of the unfortuuate vi cissitudes tetween the Holy See and Piedmont, feels, satisfied that he has given a striking example of apostolic longanimity, is willing again to hope that the Government of his Sardinian Majesty, seeieg how heavy are the trials to which the Church has so long been sub jected in those States—how insulting are the measures taken one after the other against the most illustrious personages of the episcopal order, to the great scandal of the Catholic woad —and reflecting, besides, on what is established by the sacred canons relative to acts of this nature—will consent to put an end to a state of things incompatible with the religion which the said Govern ment professes, and which it declares itself ready to maintain and protect; a state of things Equally irrecon cileable with the solemn, reaties to which the Holy See, strong in its gocd right, does not cease to appeal. Pre) isg your Lordship to forward the present note to your royal Government, the undersigned repeats to him the expression of his sentiments of high esteem. The private letters from Calcutta, arid other places in the East Indies, describe trade as being rather brisker, but there was much room for improvement at Ceylon. The Nest information from Lqguayra, dated last month, reports that " the elections are progressing peacefully, and from present indications General Jose Gregorio Monagas will receive a decided majority over any single candidate.

He was received by the people in the most chilling manner; not a sound was uttered —not a voice asked for benediction. The POPE was deeply affected by this reception, which contrasted so unfavourably with hi s rece pti on in 1846. Instead of the flattering inscriptions which formerly, in similar circumstances, were exposed in the streets through which his HoLINEss used to pass in going to the church of Santa Maria del Popolo, the following writing was posted near that church and in other parts of the city : Total 13,215 1,067 14,291 The Lisbon mail, just in, brings information of pre• cisely the tenor that has been expected for some time past. The capital seems on the eve of another revolu tion, poverty and misgovernment weighing heavily upon it. The impossibility of ruling a country upon the antiquated system, curbing its political rights, and re straining its industrial energy, has long been felt in circles here, where Portuguese affairs are beet under steed. - " MorFe a " Pio IX.

Ernest Reinhold, of whom, from his former compositions, we expected great things, and who does not seem likely to disappoint our expectations, has become thoroughly imbued with the spirit of Professor Longf e ll ow ' s exqu i s i te poem, without exag gerat i on, " music married' which he has renderedinto music w or th y o f th e su b ject. Tais iF, to immortal verse," and as such is destined to an en during fame. "The Voices of the Night" will not be cast aside with the great mass of nonsense verses sat to so-so 'music which encumber the music-stand of the drawing-room, but will be carefully treasured as one of those ehoice c?mpositi ons w hi c h w ill be re curred to again and again with delight.

On the banks of the Wabash the effects of a poor widow, who had been left comparatively destitute at the death of her husband, had been seized by a sheriff for debt, and were being told by auction —and among these effects an old family Bible was put up for sale.. She begged the con stable to spare this memento of her dear and honoured parents, but he was inexorable. The good hook was about going for a few shillings, when the widow euddenly snatched and declaring elle would have some relic of those she loved, cat the thread that held the brown linen cover, with the in tent of retaining it. Tile cover fell into her hands, and with it two fiat pieces of thin dirty paper. Surprised at the cir cumstance, she examined them, and what was her joy and delig,ht to find that they each called for five hundred pougds on the Bank of England. On the back of one, in her mother's haridwriting, were the following words:—" When sorrow overtakes you, seek your Bible." And on the other,.in her father's hand :—" Your father's ears are never desf." The sale was immediately stopped, and the family Bible given to the faithful owner.— Hull Advertiser. DEATEI FROM CHOKING. --. .yesterday Mr. Carter held an inquest at ' the Marlborough Arms Public-house, Camberwell, on the body of William Barton, aged 67, who died under the following circutnstance s : —Th e deceased was an inmate of Camberwell workhouse, and, on Thursday last, whilst in the infirm ward, the nurse brought in a quantity of boiled beef and potatoes to supply twelve men. The de ceased went to the table, and while the nurse was at the other end of the ward, he took up a piece of meat and en deavoured to swallow it, but became black in the face, and fell down insensible. Mr. King, the house-surgeon, was called in, and made every effort to dislodge the meat, which had become firmly fixed in the windpipe. The decea•ed died in about five minutes, and when the medical gentleman removed the piece of meat he found it to be three inches in length, and one and a half wide.

The ffonapartist journals at once pick up the gauntlet thrown down by the Count DE CnAm noan, and the Pouvoir is furious against him. The L?gitimatists, it appears, are as averse to a fusion with the Orleanists as they'are to an appeal to the people ; they demand alike from Republicans, Bonspartists, and Orleanists, implicit and unreserved obedience to the behests of the; Count DE CHAMBORD, by " right divine" absolute master of all France and of all Frenchmen. The Union, the organ of M. BERRYBU, thus speaks of the House of Orleans : " It remains to say in what light the Legitimatists re gard the particular position in which accomplished events have placed the House of Orlean's and the Con servative party. It will be seen by this appreciation, which is exclusively political, that the logithnatists, not feeling themselves embarrassed by any personal preoc cupation' have been carried with great lib er ty o f ac ti on , and with high independence to steps, and to advances, when their own interest was absolutely out of the ques tion. For the last two' years, on every occasion, sad more particularly in a recent p'iblication from it latch we have just given an extract, we have constantly spoken'of tle Princes of the House of Orleans and of their honourable friends in such terms that we think our selves now dispensed from having recourse to oratorical precautions to testify our loyal and sincere intention 'to remain, with regard to these same persons, within the bounds of the moat perf ec t p ro p r i e ty. We all, there fore, go direct to the id ea w hi c h we w i s h to express; we =hall frankly say that the Logititnatists having to render an eccouLt to themselves of their situation, acrd to regu late their conduct, have never thought that they had to concern themselves with an Orleanist competition. They have seen serious difficulties before them, but none in that quarter." As if this were not sufficiently contemptuous of the Orleanist pretensions, the article concludes in these words : " In a word, the competition of the House of Or leans may exist, but the L?gitimatists do not see it That is the exact truth." What thinks M. TRIERS of the sentiments of his co-Bugrave, M. BERRTER ? There have been great floods in the south of France. The diligence from Toulouse to Perpignan was overturned by the force of one of the torrents. Accounts from Algiers state that the shock of an earthquake vs as felt there on the 10th.

The Austrian Government has sent dispatches to the King of HANOVER, urging him to interfere to aid the Elector of lIEssE in destroying the constitu tion, and making himself absolute, and promising' to King ERNEST material and moral assistance. The Austrian Cabinet has also ordered the General com manding in the Vorarlberg to march troops isito Wirtemberg, should he deem it expedient. The New Hesse Gazette states that the flight of the ELECTOR was occasioned by the false representation of AI. HASSENPFLUG that General BAUER, indigtiunt at the manner in which he had been received by tloat Minister, had repaired to the palace of the ELIW TOR, and energetically represented to him the c Induct of his Ministers. M. HASSENPFIXG, dreading that the ELECTOR would yield to the repre sentations that were made to him on all hands, pre sented himself before his Serene Highness in the evening in simulated alarm, pretended that an onieute had broken out in the barracks, that the life of the SOVEREIGN was in da nger , a d that no resource was hft but flight. By this base stratagem the Minister succeeded in inducing the ELECTOR to set out glad.: d. , !nly in the middle of the night, attended by 1 his Cabinet. Lord COWLEY, the English Ambassador at Frank fort, visited the Elector of HESSE at Whilhelm 3bad on the ilisth. On his return he was stopped by a crowd, who, mistaking him for one of the German Princes, threatened to drag him from his carriage,,i but on his explaining that he was the British Minister they cheered him and allowed him to proceed. The President of the Chamber of Deputies of Alecklenburgh-Schwerin has summoned the Deputies to meet i❑ Schwerin on the 24th. He considers the, sentence of the Arbitral Tribunal of the 12th as of no effect. Such is also the opinion of the Left, who in tend to protest in favour of the constitution. The Right will also meet on the 22d, in order to deliberate upon what course they shall take under the present circum stanceF. It is thought they will join with the Left in their protest. Many of the municipal councils will also protest. The irritation caused in the country by the arbitral sentence is so great that all party spirit has disappeared i❑ favour of the maintenance of the constitution. The following is the reply of the Prussian Minister to the address requesting an immediate convocation of the Prussian Chambers : " Betlin, Sept. 14. " The representation cf your high and well-born, of the 20th inst., wherein you propose that the Prussian Chambers shall be convoked as quickly as possible, has been referred to mo by the Ministry, for the purpose of reply. In consf quence thereof I have the honour to make Laown to you the following. " The question of when his Majesty should be advised to convoke the Chambers, and what period shall be se lected lBr their meeting within the c,:nstitutional term, hiss, without the intervention of the gentlemen proposers, been tle subject of conscientious deliberation on the part ef the Cabinet. Upon this occasion the internal condi tion and external relations of the State have been taken ; into consideration, and not a single hot produced in the rF present4tion cf the 20th that hes not been weighed and ' considered during those aliberations. "As it is a question of resolutions relative to the evident and conbcieLtious duties of the Ministry, who is sespusible for all its acts and declarations, nothing is apparent in the aforesaid representation which any way kials to induce the Government to change its views. .here will be no objection to my openly exposing these views at an appropriate period, ad I shall theiefore an • stain from entering further into the contents of the communication of the 20th. "Isis self-evident that the Ministry hill be prepared at tle•proper tire') to lay the wh o l e o f i ts proceedings before the Chambers. "111ANT.EuFEL, Minister of the Interior." DENAIARK.
