The walls of what was once Byzantium have not yielded to the resonance f)f the horn of CLio, ae the battle ments of Jericho crumbled down at the braying of the trumpets of the Lraelites. It is true that along the northern fcontio - rs of European Turkey the daring encroachments of the AUTOCRAT have already became perceptible, yet, still in defiance of the seizure of Bucharest by the Cossacks, and in direct contra diction of what must inevitably be regarded as the portent of a partition or an absorption of Moldavia and Wallachia, the sceptre of ABDUL-MESCHID is still grasped with a serene and haughty confidence in its power, the crescent still glitters upon the domes and minarets of Constantinople. Turkey, according to the felicitous expres sion of the Edinburgh Reviewer, " has now been, for five generations, in its nominal agony,'' and still, with an effete Government, a pre carious exchequer, and a popular disbelief in its Own more propitious destinies, it survives the un utterable displeasure of Austria and the insatiable ambition of the Russian AUTOCRAT. How this polilical miracle comes to pass is a problem as apparently inexplicable at the first blush as any other of the many miraculous events in the annals of Turkey, and yet on examination proves to be alto gether as comprehensible. It is, as we have intimated, the natural recompense of the enlightened policy es tablished at Constantinople and the natural retribu tion of the tyrannous and retrogressive policy erected upon the iron basis of despotism at S. Petersburgh. Strangely enough, on taking a retrospective glance at the history of Turkey, we discover that the rise of the Ottoman dynasty, dating from 1299, was very nearly contemporaneous with the disastrous close of the last and seventh crusade. That crusade, leading, as can never be forgotten, to the complete loss of the Holy Lands, was anterior to the coronation of the first OTHMAN by only eight years, taking place as it did in 1291. Within twenty years from that date the Knights Templars, the champions of Christianity, had perished from the face of the earth which they had adorned by their virtues and hallowed by their heroism ; and not long afterwards the renowned army of the Janissaries, the champions of Infidelity, had sprung into existence. It was, consequently, at this memorable and momentous epoch, an epoch generally regarded as the commencement of modern history, that Europe beheld herself assailed at once by the bands of the infidels on the shores of the Bosphorus and on the banks of the Guadalquiver, by the Moors and ;by the Mussulmen. A period of advance ment for the arms of the crescent, beginning with the battle of Nicopoli , , and ending with the battle of Angora, the former advantageous to the cause of the Islamites, and the latter disastrous for the time being to their dominion—led to the con quest and captivity of BAJAZET, by TIMOUR the TARTAR, and the marvellously rapid salvation of Turkey from the " Slough of Despond," by the marvel-working authority of hIAHOMET. Under MAHOMET II , namely, in 1453, the sway of the Byzantine CIMARS was brought to a close, and the Roman Empire finally extinguished, by the capture of the city of Constantinople. Since then, the empi:e of the Ottoman Porte, though repeatedly threatening disruption, has preserved its integrity uninterruptedly until the Russian EMPEROR has ventured upon divers insidious encroachments, and those encroachments have been repelled by the tacit alliance established between Turkey and the rest of Christen dom. Yet a little while longer, and we shall have an opportunity of discerning whether the greed of terri torill aggrandisement on the part if the AUTOCRAT will be sufficient to acquire a superior influence to the amicable support granted to the SULTAN by the rest of the great powers of Europe. After all, the Public Exhibition of 1851 is to be indeed a public undertaking. Popular opinion having almost unanimously dissented from the arrangements already made, the Commission have at once availed themselves cf a clause in the contract with Messrs. MONDAY and cancelled the agreement. The public spirit manifested by Messrs. MONDAY in their magnifi cen t proposal has been generally appreciated ; but while we consider them entitled to public gratitude for their spontaneous offer and for the unhesitating confidence which it evinced in the success of the Exhibition, nevertheless we cannot but rejoice in the altered ar rangements. The Messrs. MONDAY are superseded by the only party rightly qualified to carry out such an undertaking—the Nation. The whole affair at once assumes a different character. It is no longer possible to cavil at any (apparent) unfairness. The Exhibition to be held in London, in the metropolis of manufacture, will be wholly prepared and carried out at the expense of the British public. This is as it should be. As a national undertaking the Exhibition has from the first elicited our interest ; as such it has already called forth the unanimous sympathies of the people. There is— to every one who rightly estimates the true nobility of Industry and the glory of Commerce—there is something more than ordinarily attractive in the proposed competition. Among the truths which Time has taught us, one of the . most practically be neficial is the superiority of peaceful ever martial triumphs. No longer is the laurel-wreath the only or the dearest object of ambition. No longer is the artizan considered as an object but a little more dig nified than the material at which he labours. It is true the principle is not yet carried out to a fit ex tent, but it is progressing. " The power of thought, the magic of the mind," is now recognized, in some degree, as Nature's patent of nobility. It has been said, " Man is born to create, from the poet to the potter," and the power of creation is assuredly one of the noblest endowments of humanity. The poet who has, en riehed mankind with new treasures of thought and feeling, who, when the hearts of thousands beat with rapture, when noble impulses are stimulated and selfish hearts are humanized by the power of his words, can exultingly exclaim " This is my work 1" is without doubt entitled to the gratitude of all. But the ex ercise of this noble faculty is by no means cir cumscribed to the poet, although possessed by him in its highest degree. Every artist and every ar tizan who discovers or developes the resources cf art is in his several ways a - public benefactor. As a recognition of this fact, as a homage to Industry and Invention (those " twin giants" of civilization), we lock upon the proposed Exhibition as a most inter esting and important event. In another respect, also, it claims our cordial approbation—as a bond of union among many nations. When at first it was suggested that only British artists should be among the competitors, the proposition met through out the kingdom with unanimous dissent ; it was con sequently decreed that the competition should be uni versal. The distinctions of class and country are justly felt to be out of place in a matter which concerns the fraternizing principles of art. Regarded under these aspects, as a public encouragement to the peaceful arts, and as a gathering together of men of all nations, it is obvious to all that the Exhibition must be a national work. Such it is now to be : with the public rests its progress and its consummation. On public support its success henceforth depends. Will that support be niggardly, so that success may be compromised ? Will the nation who have insisted in taking the matter in their owl, hands give a public manifestation of their illiberality by suffering it to be carried out in an unworthy manner? Shall the public spirit of Messrs. MONDAY put our national liberality to shame? Impossible. It is a matter which admits cf no hesitation; it is a question to which there can be only one reply. The nation has undertaken the work, and it will be carried out i❑ a spirit worthily national. The Messrs. MONDAY have no cause to repent the offer of the contract ; their conduct has been justly appre ciated and approved. Hence the decision of the Commission cannot but be regarded with universal feelings of satisfaction. MORTALS. Good Queen Bess, Mr. R. Romer ; Robsart, Mr. G.

However briefly we may be compelled to allude in a single political criticism to an article of such re markable scope, although one so ingeniously com pacted together, we would at the earliest moment direct attention to an historical paper contained in the current number of the Edinburgh Review, re ferring to a subject most momentous both to Asia and to Europe, namely, the past and present relations of Turkey and Christendom. Within the compass of a few pages will be there founi condensed an extra ordinary amount of facts at all times interesting, but at this particular epoch invested with a peculiar fascination. That the perpetuation of a Mahometan Government on the very threshold of the European Continent should have become matter for earnest solicitude to the majority of the states of Christendom, whereas formerly the rise and developement of the Ottoman Empire had been only viewed by those identical States with jealousy, is a circumstance of itself sufficient to de monstrate that some wonderful change has taken place in the relative situation of the faithful and of the unbelievers. A supposition, moreover, strangely and strikingly corroborated by the exchange of gifts, of compliments, and of representatives, between the SULTAN'CALIPH on the one hand, as the chief' of Islamism, and the Supreme PONTIFF on the other, as the visible head of Roman Catholicism. Notwith standing the animosities which for centuries have raged between the followers of the PROPHET and of the REDEEMER, it is marvellous to know that at length the Cross has yielded to an amicable alliance with the Crescent. But one sentiment is enter tained towards the Ottoman dynasty by all the races bordering upon the Mediterranear, from the Straits of Gibraltar to the Straits of the Hellespont—the sentiment of friendship. But one feeling is cherished amongst the various nations populating the shores of the Baltic, from the western limits of Denmark to the eastern extremities of Pomerania—the feeling of amity. Nor is the growth of this confidence in the councils of the Sublime Porte attributable to any lesser motives than those of a cordial reliance on Turkey, and a prcfaund distrust of Russia, a regard for the SULTAN and a detestation of the AUTOCRAT, an antagonism to the retrogressive policy of St. Petersburgh and an affinity of affection for the progressive policy of Constantinople. These are the considerations which have withdrawn the regard of the Europeans from the capital of the Cz klt, and concentrated it upon the denizens of the Golden Horn and the frequenters cf the Bosphorus. While the favour of Christendom has been thus se cured to the authority established by the Musselmen at Constantinople, the permanence of that authority has continued a subject of unbelief during many suc cessive generations. Between two and three hundred years ago the approximation of the Turkish power to its downfal was predicted by the voice of KNOLLES ; subsequently, the same lugubrious prophecy was ar ticulated by the lips of CANTEMIR ; and within our own time the annalist HALLAM did not shrink thirty years back from pronouncing that period to be the one immediately antecedent to the destruction of the Divan, and the general dismemberment cf Turkey. Long, however, as the tones of thehistoric CASSANDRA have rung thus ominously through the mosques and palaces of Con stantinople, the domiaion of the descendants cf --------- FRENCH PLAYS and OPERA COMIQUE, ST.

Tne S Ecle of Saturday has the following If we are well it f.,rmt d, family affairs occupy a con siderable degree of attention at the Elysea at this moment. Tho Minister f Justice is said to have been charged to examine a question which he had himself submitted to the consideration c f a commission com posed of eminent lawyers,° such as M. Dupin, sen., M. Portalie, M. Barthe, M. Troplong, &e. It is this :—The treaty of Fontainebleau, corroborated by the will t f the Empero”, secured to the Bonaparte family claims on the public treasury for considerable sums, which, with interest, would now amount to more than twenty millions. The restoration, considering the treaty of Fontainebleau as abolished both by right and by the events if war, paid no attention to the claim. At the time of the revAntion of July, claims were sent in to the new Government by the members of the Bonaparte family, who were then in exile; the Council of State were called on to examine hese demands, and presented a f ivourable report. But she Government c f Louis Philippe did not think it its duty to acted to those claima, which are now again re newed. The commission to which M. Rouher has sub mitted the question, it is said, inclined to regard the question in the same light as the Council of State of 1831, and it is on the opinion cf this special commission that the Government will present a Bill tending to effect the rc-!mbursement ef the sums which may be duo by France to the heirs of the Emperor, after it had been subj:cted ti the exateinition t f the Council sf rate." The Constitutionnel of yesterday, gives an authori tative denial to this statement that a Bill was - ko be presented to the Assembly for a reimbursement of 20,000,000 francs to the BONAPARTE family. The same journal contradicts the rumour of to in tended expedition to La Plata. It says— " Several journals announce that the Government, with respect to the affair of La Plate, has talien me:- sures seemingly contrary bath to tie policy which it sup ported during the di,cussior, and to 61 e vote come to by the Assembly. They speak of a military expedition, state the number of men to be emiarked, and tame t'-.0 admiral to be intrusted with the command. There is nothing true in the report." The Committee on the Bill for increasing the pay of non-commissioned officers has chosen M. ODILOisi BARUOT as reporter. The Committee will, it is thought, report against the measure. M. Bum has addressed the following letter to the Siecle : " A placard posted up yesterday points out in vio le t terms the (0 iduct a ten of the most res;:eotiWe publises in Paris, who have re eotly sold the.r books, giving by way of bonus tick,ts in the Artist's La tery, which is authorised by the Minister cf the Interior. Without catering into this discussior, I must declare that my name has been wrongfully mixed up in the affair.

I think it my duty at the same tine to declare that I shall take proceedings for efamation against the author of the placard. " Accept, &c., Bum, Rept esentative cf the People." The Salut Public, of Lyons, says— "ln spite if the severity c f the weather, and of political agitations, the state of trade in our city is satis factory, and t e silk manufactories are in full activity.

The Americans have long wanted a port in the Mediterranean, and the present Government must possess but little of the proverbial American "cuteness" if it does not take advantage of this lapses on the part of the Cardinals, to take possession of. some port in the Mediterranean. No European power could or would risk a war to prevent them. Letters from Rome of the sth inst. state that the French army of occupation is to be reduced to 18,000 men. The cold was intense, and the roads were covered with snow. Other letters of a private kind state that the Very Rev. Dr. CULLEN, many years President of the Irish C ,liege at Rome, has been appointed by the POPE Primate of all Inland. Dr. CULLEN'S name was not on the list of prelates whose names were sent from Ireland, and the unusual fact of choosing out of the list will, it is believed, excite discontent amongst the Irish bishops. Dr. CULLEN is shortly expected at Paris on his way to Ireland. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDS OIL, SATURDAY. • The Queen and his Royal highness Prince Albert, with the Royal Family, and attended by the Mir chioness of Douro, the Earl of Listowel, Colonel lion. R. Boyl,', Colonel Hon.

The report of the Committee on the Budget was read on the sth in the Chamber of Deputies, and the Finance Minister promised to bring in a Bill for the settlement of the debt. The proposition of MENDS ZABAL for the sale of church property, the proceeds of which should be devoted to the liquidation of the debt, was opposed by the Finance Minister, first, be cause ite adoption would destroy the then Clergy Dotation Bill passed last session; and, secondly, because it was in contradiction to the vote of the House, which had authorised the Government to come to an understanding with the Holy See as to the definitive arrangement of the clergy, &c., which the Government was determined to carry out. The proposition was rejected by 126 votes against 41. The Bolsa was closed on the 6th. BALLOONS FOR CONVEYING INTELLIGENCE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—As in common with others, I feel greatly interested in the success of the expedition now about to proceed to the Arctic regions in search of Sir John Franklin and his companions, I was much pleased with the result of the experiment, on Wednesday last, of balloon agency for the conveying of intelligence to great distances. Though the project of sending off dispatches by balloons dates back some years, there may be fresh conditions affecting its application. Since paper balloons were first used for such a purpose we have improved in the manufacturing of calico; we can now obtain thin calico at about 2d. per square yard, admi rably suited for balloons; the varnishing per square yard would be about 2d. more, together 4d. Taking into account the making, a baboon of such material, of about fifty cubic feet contents, requiring nearly eight yards material, would certainly cost less than five shillings, and if a large number were made the cost would probably not much exceed half-a-crown per balloon, with an available buoyancy of about eleven ounces, supposing the inflating gas to be about one-sixth the weight of atmospheric air. A calico balloon admits of rough handling, which a paper one does not; and though the calico balloon must, to have a certain available buoyancy, be larger than a paper one and would require more gas for its considering the nature and object of vs employment and the facility of supp l y in g gar, the calico balloon, I have not a doubt, would be found preferable; for when it descends it might be held to the place of its descent by a small grapnel with a line 1 f some twenty yards length, and it would en dure in its captive state hard thumping upon an ice berg, the gas not immediately escaping, its size would not for some time diminish, and there would be a better chance of its being seen at a distance. 'l'he plan of dropping papers by means of a slow match does not, I think, admit of a long suspension ; if so, the ranges must n'cessarily be short. Surely it would be better to secure the papers, so as to de scend with the balloon, which would probably take a flight of some twenty-four hours before it alighted, and it might be seen for some hours upon the wing, which might lead to its discovery. With respect to the inflation, would it not be better to obtain hydrogen gas by, the decomposition of steam than by the chemical action of sulphuric acid upon zinc filings ? In conclusion, I would observe that balloons may not only le a means of salvation to voyagers, but a means also of furnishing interesting information as to the currents of air at high elevations in the Arctic region.

FATAL SLIP.—On Thursday morning last an un fortunate policeman was found lying on the pavement in Harrison-street, Gray's Inn-road, surrounded by a pool of blood; he was conveyed to the Royal Free Ho, - pital, where it was discovered that his skull was frac tured. He died in the course of the afternoon. It is supposed that he had been to try the door of one of the houses, and that, in returning his foot slipped, and his head coming in contact with one Qf the steps, he thus met with the injury. ANOTHER LETTER FROM SIR R. PEEL. — We ex tract from the Norwich News thy• following letter, ad dressed by Sir R. Peel to Mr. George Gow, r, of Small burgh, in reply ta a quest on put by tliat gentleman on public ground:, i❑ reference to the applie at' on of the 20 per cent. set apart t , his t •t•autry by the Right Hoc. Baronet:—" I will with ph asure answer the question which you put to me.. My tenants quite understand that the 20 per cent. of the turret t year's rent is ts, be applied in each case most beneficial to the farm.' Draining, the removal of useless fences, and the pia - sers afion of manure, were named as entitled to prefer ence, from a conviction on my part that such improve ment where required, are more for the real benefit of a tenant than any other. They have also the advantage of employing labour. There are cases on this estate on which, so far as concerns draining and fences, such im provements 1 ave been already made. In those raws the tenant is equally to have the full benefltiof the 20 per cent. allowance. I hope he will agree with me, that the first object for his interest should be to provide effectu ally against waste of that manure which is made upon the farm; that being done, there will not be the slight est objection on my part to apply the balance to the purchase rf other manure's. —I am, Sir, your obedient servant, ROBERT PEEL. Dia iton-mauor, Jan. 7." FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.—An accident of a most fearful character happened on Saturday morning, ne as the Bevy station of the Eastern Counties Earle as, which terminated fatally to John Redder, a smith, in the em ploy of the company. It apptarJ Ow shortly after 8 o'clock, on the morning in question, the nail tura,t) man, who resided at Old Ford, got upon the line a shot t distance on the Essex side of the station at B ,w, for the purpose of walking down to the company's works at Stratrord, where he was employed. He was pursuing his way, apparently on the dow❑ side of the line, when the driver of the engine attached to the 8.10 down train fsoin Bishopsgate station noticed him. The steam whistle was immediately sounded, and the usual precau tions ado' t-A in alarming the unfortunate fellow as t ► his dangerous position. To bring the train to a halt was impossible, and in a few moments the whole train passed over him; the body was found to be shockingly met:- la el; the head was frightfully crushed, and his arms and legs severed, and otherwise injured. A shell being procured, the body was removed to the Five Bells pub lic-house. FIRE AT CRUM CASTLE.—A. report is in town tc-day (Friday) that Crum Castle, the magnificent seat of the Earl of Erne, had been destroyed by fire. The report originated in a traveller who was passing through Lisnaskes, at about one o'clock yesterday, when the in habitants were rushing to the castle to aid in suppressing the flames. Another gentleman, who travelled by the Enniskillen mail last night, stated in Monaghan that when passing by the demesne, the passengers distinctly saw the flames of the still burning edifice. If the fire continued unabated from one o'clock in the day until that late hour in the night, it must be very much ic jureo. This, we believe, is the third time this splintlid bile f building has been burnt.—Monaghan Standard. WILD FOWL.—It is remarkable that a greater number of strange wild fowl, some aquatic and some land birds, have visited this neighbourhood than has been known for a great number of years past. The es-. prey, or fishing eagle, is one of these rarities. We like wise saw the other day a specimen of the goose genus of sin unusual description; a pair of these birds were no ticed in the waists about Beeston and Clifton, and were much sought after for several days by the sportsmen in the vicinity; the one we saw, the last of the unfortunate pair, was shot at the back of Clifton -hall. Almost all the birds to which we have made allusion are under stood to be natives of high northern► latitudes. Their presence here, therefore, would imply that the wit_ttcr has set in those regions with unusual severity.—Notts Mercury. 51 II IN E'V !-If ±0 CO ill 51 ERCIAI. N E Nil ,',.

Those for the Landesthing (Upper Chamber) are now undergoing a revision. Those for the Volksthing (Second Chamber) are confirmed. The result of the elections to the Volksthing is as follows :-50 persons in office, not one of whom is a landed proprietor, 24 peasants, and 1 merchant. Those to the Landesthing have returned 14 public functionaries, 12 landed proprietors, 40 peasants, and 5 merchants. The KING has just published a fiscal law, by which the excise duty on ships and merchandise at Copen hagen is raised. By this law the increase of the excised duty resulting from the ordonnances of May 10, 1815, March 25, 1818, and June 9, 1833, will continue in force in 1850, and produce of the port exchequers is to flow into that of the city.—Ham burgh Borsenhalle.

THE HAGUE, JAN. 11 —The Stoats Courant an nounces that the Court will go into mourning for three weeks for ADELAIDE, the Queen Dowager of England, and for the Duchess of AISHALT DESSAU. The Limburg newspapers are debating the reports, which gain more and tnore ground in the duchy, re lative to negotiations between the Netherlands Go vernment and that of Belgium, for the city of Mars trecht, for, the sum of 27,000,000 f., and of the whole territory situated on the r i g ht bank of the Meuse for 50,000,000 f.

The exchange of the protocol took place on that day between bi. TITOFF and the Minister of Foreign Affairs. LATIFF BEY, Secretary to FLTAD EFFENDI, left on the 27th, in tha Odessa steamer, to carry t o St. Petersburgh the protocol signed on the 26th, the exchange of which had . been retard e d t o a ff or d Count STORMER, the Austrian Ambassador, time to receive instructions from his Government t o concur in it. Those instructions, however, had not arrived on the 31st. ACHMET EFFENDI, first drago man of the Divan, had been appointed Commissioner of the Porte in the Danubian provinces, in place of FUAD EFFENDI. Other letters of a privat e ki n d confirm fully this pleasing intelligence. The last-mentioned accounts add that the Poles implicated in the late Hungarian insurrection are to be confined in the town of Koniah, in Asia Minor. Neither the Porte nor any foreign Power can for the future protect political delinquents flying from Russia or Austria into Turkey.

It is generally believed in Rome that Pio Norco is himself most anxious to return, but that he is kept u nder absolute personal restraint the King ef N APLE S, who, in this instance, acts as goaler to the Austrian and Russian Governments, - wh ose jealousy of French influence is such, that they will not permit his return un-it Rome shall be evacu ate• 1 by the French. Thelporti-pretre of France are also into iguing with the Camarillo of Portici to prevent the return of the POPE, with a view of embarrassing the PaizsinEwr of the French Republic. In the me; inwhile the three Cardinals have thought it pru- THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of Saturday and yesterday. The proposition for increasing the pay of the at present underpaid sub-officers of the army is exciting the ire of the parti-pretre and the Legitimatists, who imagine that there will be nothing left for the Jesuits to plunder under the hoped for restoration, if the pay of the army be increased. The Ordre, the organ of this party and of XI. THIERF, has the following on this subject : " It is no., however, the idea of -offering a just remu neration which has inspired the authors cf the project of law, as well as of the rival proposition put forward by kontagnards. Hence it is that we can see no other in tention than that if gaining over the army. The army entertains, we will say, too high an ilea of its dignity to set its fidelity up to auction. Its fidelity belongs to :he country, and to the cause of social order, already so valiantly defended, and it will not attach itself specially to any particular personal am bition, or to any anarchical f iction, fir the sake of un worthy bribes. Hitherto the army has remained intact amidst the general confusion caused by the revo lu,ion of February. It became not merely as act of prudence but of imperative duty to abstain from laying hauds on the only surviving institution, seeing that it is the very one which serves as a bulwark to the country and to society ; that it is, in fact, our sheet anchor in the midst of general dis urbance which will happen, however, in the National Assembly, as the dis cusions which took p!a!e yesterday in the bureaux and the choice of members of the committee cicarly indicate. What if the Assembly reject these insidion, propositions, and postpone to more favourable times the consideration cf what may be usefil and practicable in the way of ameliorating the condition cf the army ? Is it not to be feared that anarchists will take advantage cf the re fad to put forward unreasonable designs, and to calumniate the intentions cf the Assembly ? The Assembly is, ro:vettheless, resolved to look to the general interest only, sure that;the army will equally comprehend it." The army, we imagine, will not suffer itself.; obe cajoled by these quasi promises of the parti pretre, which mean nothing. The army, in common with the people of France, have too vivid a recollection of the doings of the parti pretre between 1815 and 1830 to believe in their promises ; the reply to all over tures from that party should be, on the part of the Army, NET The Assemblee Nationale, another organ of the parti pretre, has had recourse to the old tactics of the party, and is engaged in concocting and propagating rumours of an intended comp d'etat. It has been as serted that a Minister stated publicly that " . the Assem bly was lost in the esteem of the country, and that it would shortly be necessary to come to an end with it." That Minister is said to be M. ACHILLE FOULD, and M PISCATORY (ex -man of all work to M. GuizoT) is the person who states that M. FOULD made use of the expression ; a statement, however, the truth of which N. FOULD absolutely denies. The National gives the following version of the affair : " It is surely time for the men who direct the affairs of the country t) permit it t breathe in peacr. A few months ago disquieting rumours disturbed the public mind. Since then the majority of the nation, devoted to the conet tutior, has been expecting to see issue from the regular working of the institetions the pro gress which is evidently necessary. But here, in the midst of the universal calm, new alarms are dissemi nated, and the meagre stream of publics prosperity is disturbed at its source. For the la,t two days Ewe. nacing rumours are afloat ; filly appia , s incurable :in certain regions; and because the Preside! t if the Re public is named Napoleon, there are people who wan t, right or wrong, to have him Emperor. Acquainted, like every one else, with these rumours, we kept silerd, for we feel no pleasure in producing disquietude; but other jourtaP, who do not deem themselves bound to a like reserve, have spoke". The Assemblee Na tionale has the Lillowing lines, which merit explanatii --` Some thing ext-aordinary is passing in certain re gions of the politca,l world. It appears that an impor t tnt page of history is being sket.Med. Difficultiele.re being explored, the means of action reckoned, and the ' p;a,le of each personage at the decisive moment settled. We shall have to come back on the st-ange rumours which are in circulation. The Estafette if last night. confirms them, and Vie Opinion Pub!ique seemed yes terday to desire t t them be a !ticip.tsd by the fo!- lowing language :--` If the Patric thinks that, in order to allow another place, which we shall freely call the Empire, to be occupied, the Right would agree to vote always with the shades of the majority willing to make that concession, it is mistaken. In that case we should reply, like Al. de Montalembert, non possumus, and we should be with those who would el( fend the inde pendence a the national will against enterprises awl. adventures.' Let us add that the demi-official organs. bf dmau sn t i? h ci e ar t de do G , n o o v w e t h r e n i co m hn e t a n a ue , a s t n h o y e Ff freelytah l e r i:es sett : d e ao t um h t ea fromkM n d o n n i 0 / e tmh u e r - EI y to deny the rumour given by the Ay,emblee Nationale. It must also be stated that M. Abraham ' Dubois, one of the most ultra if tho majority, yesterday confirmed iu the most marked manner, in the 13th. bureau, these alarming rumours, for he affiimed, speaking against the Bill relating to the increased pay of the sutsuflimsrs, that he had beard the fAlowing words f:om the mouth of one of the Ministers:—` The National Assembly is lost in the esteem of the country; it will be , necessary to shortly come t 3 an end wilt it.' This s•atement produced the utmost indignation. Cett lin f,►ks, eonscqueLtly, dream ef an 18th Brumaire—be it so; try that coup dotal; allow your last s'alte; the te,tion will hold against you and will gain. It has gained more difficult matcher. At the nuie of an at tempt to be made against the national represet.t dim:, it would reply by the noise if the tocsie, sounded in Paris, in every town, in every village in France. It would take up - arms for the defence of the constitution, and if it fund an enemy in its path, he would be crushed like t .
