Spain and Portugal, though inca pable of aiding the Romans, are, from their reli gious predilections and their political aspira tions, allied to Pius IX. in spirit and inten tion. Shall England alone remain supine when the battle for freedom is about to be fought by the people of that Eternal City from which she herself first imbibed the sweets of civilization ? Shall England alone remain unmoved when Italy is fight ing against her oppressors—when, with heart or hand, the Sovereign PONTIFF is supported by Prussia, by Sardinia, by Tuscany, by Belgium, by Spain, by Portugal, and even by France ? It is impossible. Under any circumstances it would be improbable, but it is absolutely impossible that such should be the case while the administration of our foreign affairs is under the guidance of Lord Pa.wanas-rox.

R" kTFR AT f.r”:"DON-f - SIIIIRIP. THIS DAY. :Morning.. 49 rninutel atter 7. j Evening .. 27 rninntes ~tier 8: c-t\ 4 lib The manifesto, nominally addressed by Lord G. BENTINCK to the electors of King's Lynn, on the Pope. Last night an extraordinary courier of the Ca binet of Turin brought the news. The enthusiasm caused by this very important step in Italian nationality is ex traordinary, and our Government has most willingly adopted the proposal. This morning the Pope, on his return from the University, where he had distributed medals to the students, was waited upon by the Marquis Pareto, the Sardinian Minister, and had a two hours' conference with him. The Pope on entering the Uni versity bestowed much praise on the civic guard that re ceived him. He harangued the students with great ani mation, saying they were the hopes and support of their country, exhorted them to study, and repeated to them the promise of persevering with an undaunted step in the path of reform." The same journal has the following from Bologna, also dated the 23d ult.:— " The universal desire of the citizens has been acceded to. The Pope prepares for defence. Troops constantly arrive, and are distributed in three points of observa tion ; one of the defile of St. Gallo, by the R eno, on the road from Bologna to Ferrara ; the second at Castel Franco, between Bologna and Modena ; the last at the defile of Bastia, by the Reno, near Argenta. Forli and Aremna are two more centres of operation, for the con centration of troops, forming a line of observation along the Adriatic. All the intermediate towns between Bo logna, and the two former are defended by the National Guard, already in active service, and inspired with the greatest enthusiasm." 24th of July last, but really directed to the various constituencies throughout the whole country, with a view of influencing the elections in behalf of the Pro tectionists, and also intended as an answer to the masterly exposition and vindication of his policy put forward by the late Premier in the Tam worth address, attracted considerable attention at the time of its publication. The folly and absurdity of the chief arguments contained therein were unspar ingly exposed, and freely commented on by ourselves and many of our fellow-labourers in the good cause, These notices were, however, to a certain ex tent limited. Sufficient space could not be devoted by a public journalist to follow the Noble Lord through the imposing array of figures with which his prolix 2nd verbose epistle was crammed ; sufficient fallacies were apparent, even Madrid papers of the 27th ult. have arrived. General NARVAEZ, who had arrived on the morn ing of that day, was to have an interview with the QUEEN in the afternoon. The Faro gives the following as likely to be members of the new Cabinet :—DoNoso CORTES , PIDAL, ARRAZOLA, SARTORIUS, ORLANDO, SANTIL LAN, OLIVAN, ROCA DE TAGORES, SELMA, RIOS, ROSAS, BENAVIDES, and MAZARREDO. In the course of the morning NARVAEZ had had conferences with PACHECO, BENAVIDES, and BA HAMONDE. It was said that PACHECO would be ap appointed Ambassador to Rome. MADRID BOLSA, AUG. 27.—The Three per Cents. were done at 261 for cash ; the Five per Cents. at 17i, and the Coupons at 15. We have received the Paris papers of Wednesday. The National has the following observations on the rumours which we mentioned yesterday, of another Peer of France having committed a murder : " The Patrie, in explanation of one of the reports which we mentioned this morning, expresses itself in the following terms Since yesterday public attention has been absorbed by a report that a prince of the empire, who is a Peer of France, has assassinated a young per son with whom he maintained intimate relations.' As sassinated ! The word is grave, and after the horrible event which still occupies every mind, it would suggest ,ome drama of a similar nature. No, the princes of the empire are not yet so far advanced as the dukes of the ancien regime. If the details which have been repeated to us are accurate, the Peer of France to whom allusion has been made was not so determined in his attack on his victim. It is true that she was a woman, and that this woman had been extremely kind to him, and that, in a fit of passion, he stabbed her with a knife. That person was an Indian woman, much older than the Prince. He had, it was said, brought her from India, where he had passed four or five years. It was thought, she was dead, but she was only wounded, and, as a Peer of France cannot be arrested even when detected in the commission of a crime, the Prince, we are assured, em barked far England. The affair, as may be seen, is but of little importance, but, nevertheless, we live in a period when it is not well to suffer such accusations against a Peer to be circulated. If the officers of justice have not taken cognizance of the matter, the police ought to be informed of it. If the fact be false, it will be contra dicted ; if it be true, an explanation will, no doubt, be given of the delay in commencing judicial proceedings that has occurred. ' . The Peer of France above alluded to is the Prince of ECKMUSIL, the eon of Marshal DAVOUST, and the on his own showing, to render the task of proving that they did not warrant the deductions he attempted to draw therefrom by no means a difficult one. The able statesman against whose course of policy the arguments were directed did not condescend to notice the puny attack. He felt that he might safely let it go forth to the public without observation or com ment on his part, well assured that no misunderstand ing either as to his character or motives, or as to the great results of the free-trade measures he had carried through the Legislature, could be thereby occasioned in any save the wilfully blind—in those who would not be enlightened, no matter how convincing the proofs that might be adduced and palpable the deduc tions. The vast advantages of free trade are now too well understood by the people generally. It has too fully verified the predictions of its advocates, and borne too well the tests to which it was subjected, to suppose it possible that it could be in any degree injured, or the faith of its votaries shaken by such flimsy argu ments as those with which it was assailed by the champion of monopoly. A gentleman, who writes under the signature of " Plain Facts," was, however, resolved not to let the gallant Protectionist thus escape. He has taken the several details of his letter, and given to each the most clear and satisfactory answers. He has assumed the arms of the enemy, and met statis tics by statistics, and figures by figures ; indeed, a more complete refutation of every point put forward by the Noble Lord could not be desired than is con tained in "The Answer to his Address, by Plain Facts," which has just appeared, and which we heartily com mend to the public notice. The commencement is a defence of Sir R. PEEL against the charges of inconsistency preferred against him. He shows that there was one thing wanting to give importance to the powerful argu ments of those who advocated the most unre stricted freedom of trade. They wanted facts and statistics to illustrate the truth of their doctrines ; their reasoning was of the clearest character, their theories apparently based on truth, but experience was wanting as to the practical results, and some uncertainty must prevail with respect thereto until they were actually tested thereby. Sir It. PEEL, on his accession to power, began the series of measures that supplied the requisite data. He reduced the duties on many articles of general consumption, and totally repealed it on others—amongst the rest, cattle, sheep, meat, and other descriptions of human food, formerly prohibited, were admitted free, not only without opposition from, but with the sanction and assistance of Lord G. BENTINCK himself, and the success of these experiments naturally led to the great and final act of his Ministry—the abolition of all pro tective imposts (every duty henceforward being collected for purposes of revenue alone), to which the measures of former years all directly tended. It would, indeed, be but a false consistency that would lead even a private Member of Parliament, much less a Minister of the Crown, entrusted with the destinies of a great nation, to act against his honest convictions, and to persevere in an erroneous course, of the im policy and injurious consequences of which he had been convinced by recent circumstances. • The argument that there could have been no scarcity in Ireland, and that therefore the free im portation of corn was not required on that account, because there had been large importations of grain, flour, oatmeal, cattle, and swine from that country to England during the first six months of 1846, is well met by "Plain Facts." He reminds the Noble Lord that flour and meat are rarely, if ever, articles of diet within the reach of the poorer classes in Ire land, and, in confirmation of his views, he cites re turns from official documents, showing that even in the 1847, 1a5t a period monthsx of during 1846, whichanel the th e first i three htful monthsreality of could not be cont rover t e d or denied,ga very large scr pt o n u o e f provisions aleo sh shows w s twerehe vari ous im ported.tiantitfy of the the same thesis de ter island. means by which the famine, or perhaps we should s ay, the great scarcity, in that year was obviated, and amongst others that, from the sth of Jul), 1845, to the sth of July, 1846, there were entered for home consumption 255,853 quarters of Indian corn, end 87,734 cwt. of Indian meal, the whole of which ut mo o n f th l s od o ia f o lB o 4 o G ru; twhielre t i o n o placeklB44 t h i e n w t h h e o e fi rs a t m s o i u x entered for consumption was but 38,711 qrs., and no Indian meal. And taking the commissariat estimate furnished to Parliament, he shows that that quantity of corn and meal would have fed 690,800 persons from 15 to 60 years of age for four months. He also shows the gradual diminution in the exportation of oatmeal, the description of food chiefly made use of with Indian corn, on the failure of the potato, during the six months selected by Lord GEORGE for the purposes of his argument-- that in January being 118,251 cwt., and in tt June ahtaitono 2 fo s fa ,7 no 3 ya lt caother wt. onl oatmeal spe y e ; i e s andh ionf B athe 44 t wasgeneralgreatly - above our space does not a ll ow us p t r o o g v . 0 1 s ithrough e this regret ad mirable pamphlet; we are convinced, however, that it will receive from all interested in such subjects the attentive perusal which it BO we ll merit There are few who may not receive m uc h useful. information from its pages. • young woman whom he attempted to assassinate was brought by him from India, in which he had passed _ some time. The crime was, it is said, committed whilst the Prince was in a state of furious jealousy. Though a Peer of France, the Prince is under the control of what is called a conseil judiciare, a person appointed by his family with the sanction of the tri bunal, to prevent him from squandering away the remains of his fortune, bis prodigality having rendered such an appointment necessary. According to the Patrie, the eldest son of the Duke and Duchess DE.PBASLIN,!3 , youth of seventeen, driven mad by the misfortunes of his family, has committed suicide. The same journal contains the following announce ment, for which, however, we believe there is no foundation : " It is said that the Council held on Sunday, and at which the King assisted, resolved to send a squadron to the coast of Italy, in case the Austrians should refuse to evacuate Ferrara. I; would appear that the English did not confine themselves to a mere menace, and that their fleet is en route for the Italian coat. It was even assumed this evening that the E , ;fish vessels lately seen off Otranto had effected a landing near Ancona. This intelligence, fully believed at the moment we were going to press, produced a lively sensation." That the energetic conduct of the POPE and of the King of SARDINIA, backed by the strong language of the whole of the French press, has forced M. GUIZOT to bo more respectful in his language when speaking of the Italian Liberals, is evident from the following article published . in the Revue des Deux 3fonaes, which contrasts strongly with that of the Journal des Debats : " In a letter addressed to a personage well known for his liberal principles and his devotion to the person of King Charles Albert, that Prince formally condemned the occupation of Ferrara. The King subsequently re peated the expression of his discontent in presence of several members of the corps diplomatique, and particu larly the Nuncio of the Holy See, Monsignor Antonucci, to whom he offered the support of Piedmont against the exigencies of Austria. That determination was in spired by M. de la Villamarina, the Minister of War, and the Duke of Savoy, who, although married to an Austrian Princess, constituted himself, on this occasion, the organ of the wishes of the nation. Nevertheless, it does not appear that any official step has yet been taken, and it is not certain, as stated by the journals, that a note in that sense had been addressed to the Cabinet of Vienna, although a very angry polentique between the Piedmontese Gazette and the official journal of Milan had roused the hopes of the people of Turin. The agitati,m in Piedmont is very great, particularly in the army, which is an important symptom in the eyes of those who know the methodical and cool character of the Piedmentese. This attitude of Piedmont will not be without influence in the present circumstances. It is the indication of a tendency to wards the only system of policy suitable to Italy ; we mean, the conclusion of a defensive alliance, which se curing the Sovereigns of the Peninsula against foreign influence, would establish between them a sort of reci procity in the accomplishment of peaceable and progres sive reforms. By uniting with the rest of Italy, King Charles Albert would serve the interests of his country, and prove himself faithful to the traditions of the house of Savoy. Piedmont possesses an army of 52,000 men in time of peace, which, if placed on the war footing, and by calling out the provincial battalions, would be quickly raised to double that number. Its navy is respectable, its finances in an excellent condition, and its administra tion confided to truly distinguished men. Piedmont may consequently aspire to a great share of influence in Italian affairs, and with a little more decision or firmness on the part of the King, inspire confidence to the Peninsula. The states of Parma, Modena, and Lucca are completely under the influence of the Cabinet of Vienna. The Archduchess Maria Louisa governs in the name of the Emperor Ferdinand. Modena is the citadel and princi pal seat of the retrograde party, and the imprudent So vereign of Lucca seems to delight in exciting his subjects to revolt by his tyrannical caprices and in opening on that side a gate to Austrian intervention. The import ance of these petty states is inconsiderable, and their opposition would not be very dangerous if they did nut constitute for thei r ne i g hb ours a p ermanen t c ause of maadis turbances,sbures ofas was recently the case on the occasion of the _Parma. In T uscan y th e Lib e r a l opinion finds a mor e secure support. The Grand Duke has given pledges o f hi s good disposition, osition, and the upright ness of his char ac t er cannot be s questioned. The con cessions he made to public opinion spot!taneous, and be has frankly identified uis a himself pies w w i l t r t h e the l interests: of his people. As to the King not to admit the importance of the mw,moyedibe reforms he has lately introduced in his dominloos, particularly when we consider the difficulties of his position towards Austria. There is little doubt but he will also, sooner or later, adhere to the Italian alliance, Never, conse quently, were circumstances more favouraVe for that union, which is an essential guarantee of national inde pendence, as the union of the population " with the tie vernmente is the sole guarantee of liberty. The Constitutionnel has the following from Turin, dated the 27th ult. ; .' A circular of Pricce da Metternich was lately sent to all the Italian Governments. It contains rules and instructions florme e istruzioni) for the maintenane of peace in Italy. King Charles Albe rt was ver y indignant at it, and caused an energetic reply to be made to it in the . terms which it merited. M. de Mett ernich made, the same circular, the demand to place, if necessary, an Austrian garrison in the citadel of Alexandria; and, as the events of Ferrara occurred at that period, the King made a sclemn protest against foreign interventionin any province whatever of Italy. Besides that, he sent to offer to the Pope the support of his land and sea forces. this infor ma ti en was re ceived with great enthusiasm by the people in general, and especially by the army, whose anti-Austrian spirit is greater than ever. It is also re ported that Sardinia has inst acceded to the alliance which En g l an d h as conc luded' with Wurtemburg ? Ba varia, and the Duchy of Baden, to oppose foreign inter vention in Switzerland. It is not, therefore, astonishing that Mr. Abercrombie, the English Minister, praises the noble and energetic conduct of the icing of Sardinia, whilst Count Mo r ti er , th e French Ambassador, blames it, so to speak, publicly, a n d d ec l a i ms on a ll occas i ons against the people and princes of Italy. We are assured that the gape, eueouraggd by the support promised by Intelligence from Naples of the 22d ult. has been received. In consequence of some disturbances which had oc curred at Palermo, the Messrs. GALLo, together with several other respectable inhabitants of the city, and five non-commissioned officers of the garrison, have been arrested. General DESEGUET, at the head of 2,000 men, had been ordered to the Abruzzi. The KING had gone to Messina. A supplement of the Italia gives the following from Rome, 23d ult.:— " Piedmont has decidedly pronounced in favour of the THE__ SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMSER 3, 1847. the King of Sardinia, has made known to the foreign powers that he was not desirous of the intervention of their forces in his states, and that he has given orders to send three months' supplies to Ancona and Civita- Vecchia, and to put those places in a state to resist all surprise." ayes ,will be replaced in the depart mentT; e M. cunn Commerce Gri d a s i n of Agriculture and Commerce on the return of M. Guisot from the Val Richer. M. Bignon is believed to• have accepted that portfolio, which was refu:2.ed by Messrs. Vitet and Langer. A serious negotiation was pending to induce Marshal Bugeaud to enter the Mi nistry in place of General Trersl. The Presidency of the Council is positively to devolve on the Minister for Foreign Affairs." A duel took place at Enghien on Monday between_ two young officers, who have latterly been appointed from the Military School at St. Cyr. They fought with swords, and one of them was killed. Neither of the combatants had reached 21 years of age.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were only 3,000 hales, but generally at steady rates. Railway Shares were rather lower. The ship arrivals are not numerous, but the intelli gence to June 29 from the Cape of Good Hope—given in another column of The Sun—notices a further reverse for the British troops, in an ill-planned enterprise against the kraal of Sandilla, the Kafir chief. No doubt we shall early redeem this mistake ; but such a want of success is apt to inspire contempt in the natives, v.ho appear to dread more the armed colonists than the dis ciplined troops. The decision came to yesterdoy afternoon by the Bank of England, to make the usual loans while the transfer books are closed, at 5 per cent., gives satis faction here, although it is considered that the ordinary course might have been adopted, via., the issue of a public notice. The directors have atilt posted at the discount office their last intimation, that the minimum rate on bills of exchange was si, and consequently one would infer that they only mean to advance at 5 per cent. upon the funded and unfunded debt. A resolution passed at one parlour meeting requires confirmation at the next, and possibly we may hear more of the matter next week. Certainly the Bank should consider, in the first place, the mercantile community, whose trade,bene fits the country at large. Yielding to the representations of many houses greatly interested in the preservation of commercial credit, Messrs. Overend and Gurney accepted late yes terday afternoon the bills of Pr:me, Ward, and Co., some of which were already protested. Indeed, many parties interested were not aware of the determination until nearly the close of banking hours, and immediately ran to avail themselves thereof, and get the agreeable endorsement " accepted" written on their paper. The accounts from the manufacturing districts notice a tendency to improvement, but even if the demand in creases, it seems that prices scarcely move, and leave no reasonable profit to the mill-owner, who has to pay so dearly for the raw staple. There is an improvement of to per cent. in Con sols, the quotations being 87,1 k tor money, and 88i to for account. The Reduced Three per Cents. are 88 to aed the New Three-and a Quarter per Cents. 89i to 89 India Bonds of 1,0001. and under are ss. dis count. Long Annuities have been at 9to 9 1-16. The speculators for a rise exhibit more confidence. In Foreign Stocks there is no feature. Portuguese Four per Cents. are heavy at 24i; Spanish Three per Cent. Bonds realise 29i; Mexican are nominally about 19; Dutch Four per Cents. have been at 89k. The Share Market is very well supported. The pur chases are not large, but buyers have to pay rather ad vanced rates. NEGOTIATIONS IN THE RIVER PLATE. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) The reported failure of the " third" attempt made by our Government, in conjunction with that of France, to put an end to the disastrous and disgrace ful proceedings of the Argentine and Oriental re publics, so injurious to our commerce, naturally leads one to suppose that there must be something " rotten in the state of Denmark"—that the nego tiations have been based on erroneous or false pre mises—that the respective Governments were not fully apprised of the difficultiea they had to encounter, and consequently their Plenipotentiaries not provided with ample instructions, so as to meet all emergencies and provide against all contingencies : or, what ap pears very possible, there are " some wheels within wheels," unexposed to the eye, which counteract the working of the visible machinery. It will not be, perhaps, unamusing nor uninstruc tive, to look back to the rise, progress, and present state of affairs in the River Plate, in order to form a judgment as to the probable result of our interference. By the convention between Buenos Ayres and Brazil in 1827, the independence of Monte Video, or Oriental Republic, was established, and the two countries above-mentioned guaranteed, pro tempore, its nationality and institutions against all " foreign interference.' This convention was to have been fol lowed up by " a treaty" between the two Govern ments, but which has never been concluded to the present moment. In consequence of some disputes amongst the two parties into which the Monte Videans split, Oribe, their President, was obliged to relinquish his post to Fructuoso Rivera (who bad greatly contributed to the province of the Banda Oriental being converted into a republic), and to take refuge at Buenos Ayres; whereas, after a time, he prevailed on Rosas to assist him with troops of the Argentine Republic to replace him in the President's chair ; hence sprung the con test which has now continued for ten or twelve years. Oribe, not being able to gain possession of Monte Video, the capital, nor Rivera to raise its seige or drive the Argentines out of the country. Brazil remonstrated with Buenos Ayres on its forces entering the Oriental territories, but Rosas declaring that he had no hostile intentions in view o f possessing himself thereof, and that his troops were only to act as auxiliaries to President Oribe, the Brazilian Government were satisfied. Soon after the Monte Videans engaged in their service a number of foreigners, French, Italians, &c. The French Government having in the mean time made a treaty with Buenos Ayres, forbad their sub jects from bearing arms against the Argentines, but these persisted in doing so. As this civil war appeared to be interminable, and was loudly complained of by the merchants and ship owners of all nations as highly detrimental, and atte ided with great loss to all parties interested, Brazil, having put an end to the civil war in her own province of Rio Grande do Sul, was anxious that that in the neighbouring republic should like wise be brought to a speedy close ; and being apprehensive that she might be embroiled in some way or other in the struggle between the two republics on her bor ders, proposed to England and France (who were both in some measure bound to preserve the indepen dence of the Oriental State), by an amicable and united effort, to endeavour to bring about a recon ciliation of the parties, and thus remove all impedi ments to the commerce and navigation of La Plata, rescue the two contending States from present misery and impending ruin, and elevate them to a state of pace and prosperity equal to her own. It appears England and France had previously en tertained an intention of interfering, with a view of putting a stop to such unnatural and unprofitable war fare, but declined instructing their envoys at Rio de Janeiro to act in concert with the Brazilian Govern ment, Ayres on a special mission, boththose Governments, in hopes of and protracted strife to a Nth credentials id e appointed othea nd obstinate Buenos plenipotentiaries to proceed to Monte bringingand conclusion, honourable and advantageous to both possible to say what might have been the parties. to be surmised that the result would reslutltishaidmthe proposition of Brazil been acceded to; less successful, but m ight have been than that of the two European b nmo u ot t r e s h o a vff fortunate it Powers by themselves. Since Rosas has taken ad vantageinterference of European 4merica. Secondly, to call upon Brazil to assist ofhe Oribe in e x p e lli n g the French, stateßepublics States inthereof, t ha egaaiff n as fl itr r s a t t , i n raising a nrejudice in both English, and other European forces from the oriental territories By the measures adopted by the first plenipoten tiaries (steps that would not have been taken had Brazil had any share in the negotiations), the Brazilian Government were placed in a very unpleasant situa tion, in the first instance, by the landing of British troops at Monte Video to assist in the defence of that city, and in the second place by forcing the passage bf the River Parana—for although she warded off the first remonstrances of Roses, and demand for its aid, to expel the European invaders, by receiving in Answer to an application to the envoys as to their in- I tentions, that they had no hostile views nor preten sions as to the Oriental Republic, but merely inter vened as the governor of Buenos Ayres himself had done in order to secure the independence of the former, , and place it on a safe and permanent basis. But with regard to the navigation of the River Parana, in which Brazil was more particularly in terested, as the means of communicating from the River Plate with her important provinces of Goyaz and Matto Grosso, situate on the borders of the River Paraguay, and extending on one side to the Parana itself--still Brazil acknowledging the prin ciple that where the same country has possession of both sides the entrance of a river, it has a right to demand a sale, or interdict its waters to foreign ship ping, such as is the case with regard to the Elbe and the Scheldt, and even in the Baltic and Danube, Austria did not interfere. The envoys, by intermeddling at the instigation of the foreign merchants at Monte Video, rendered the object in dispute more complicated, and in their eagerness to open a communication by water with Paraguay and Corrientes, they overlooked the conse quences benefitn to, and for an uncertai n and p reca - the forcing that river would i inevitably le i ad curred the risk (which is now being realised) of mixing up one question with the other, thereby greatly embarrassing their successors (the present plenipotentiaries) and putting it into Rosas' power to require indemnity for the losses sustained. And to declare all vessels and their crews navi gating the Parana, as such ; to which, p i ra t e s, and liable to be punished probably , our declaring Brazilian ' subjects and ships, purs uing the African slave - trade , to be such, andsubject were instigated. Mr. Hood's endeavours to undo what the first to our Admiral t y Courts the y plenipotentiaries had done proved quite fruitless ; and by the last accounts, the exertioes of the present envoys are almost as hopeless, for, although they have raised th e se i ge o f Buenos Ayres , unless they go further, and give Rosas satisfa ction, in res p ect to what he terms th e Argentine Question, nothing will be the rose," done as to his withdrawing his troops from Monte te i Video, nor altering his views as to Corrientes and Paraguay. Oribe, if left apparently at free-will to settle the Oriental Question, will still be influenced, " under by the advice, if not commands of Rosas, sofir th at ,first tr n fe p r o e i d n t ; of on fa t c h t e , the on t affairs rary of ar e the Plate o ß re iver were not in a more satisfactory state than when we cDmpli cated, in cons .eqiisnce of Rosas' endeavours to draw Brazil into a squabble with this country and France. In fine, the query still is—When will there an end be put to thissad • state of things in the River Plate ? and how is it to be done ? ___ _____ ONE CLOSING PRICES OF BRITISH FUNDS. O'CLOCK.

RELATING TO THE THEMIS OF WATERFORD. A despatch has been received at Lloyd's a from the Foreign-office, inclosing an extract from despatch from her Majesty's consul at Lisbon, reporting the loss of the British schooner Themis, of Waterford, John Dobson master, at sea, on the 2d inst., seventy miles N.W. of Vienna ; crew saved. NOTICE TO MARINERS. INVESTIGATOR'S STRAITS. The following has been posted at Lloyd's : " Colonial Secretary's-office, Adelaide, " March 23, 1846. " his Excellency the Lieutenant-Governor has been pleased to direct that the following minute, relative to a Harbour of Refuge in Investigator's Straits, be published for general information. " By his Excellency's command. " A. M. MUNDY, Colonial Secretary. ['Minute.] " I beg to call the attention of mariners navigating In vestigator's Straits, to the advantages presented by a large bay situated upon the Southern Coast of Yorke's Peninsula, nearly midway between Troubridge Shoal and Cape Spencer, a place of refuge for shipping on meeting with south-westerly and wester l y winde, when bound to the westward, or indeed during a north-easter, if bound to Port Adelaide. " In Flinder's Chart this bay is represented as surs rounded by shoals, to the extent of three or fboauremeixlea. from the shore. Flinder does not appea r iont, of v show mined the soundings minutely, and th_ i ground is laid down rather as conj 1,1 been ascertained. It has, howevert ect r deterredethan navigators i h g a a v t i o n r g s from entering into the bay, except engaged in the whaling businbess; pproached with safety; Ihne more reality, t the venturesome shoals do not exist. The bay and good anchoring guiroauYndieb:villbe found near the sandy bottom, at about western shore in seven p beach,fain°fou;• fathoms at about half one mile from the astern shore of the bay, near that distance. Troubridge Hill, ° nthethe ter is deep, and a vessel may w rt a er of a mile of the beach before approach w ithin a obtaining soundings with seven fathoms of line. " The weste rn shore of Clothedy is form d e b an y d a trpees ro montory of low aand hills, aatro rock with oi g a r t ass (the oak) , terminating in .fl yp ~ which forms an effectual breakwater duringat anchor in soutli-west sm gales oot. Under lee of this p ort ships may ride h wr, with every facility for getting tinder weigh whenever the wind becomes favourable. Although the bay is open to the south and south-east, winds from those quarters, owing to the n arrowness of the Strait, do not rata' a sea sufficient to impede a vessel in weighing anchor. " Mariners bound to the westward, meeting adverse winds in the Straits, occasionally seek shelter under lee of Point Marsden, or in Nepean Bey, or they bear up for Port Adelaide. In either case, much more time and distance is lost than by resorting to the bay in question. "For convenient reference hereafter, I purpose assign ing to this bay the name o: Stun, and to the low sa ndy point form t , io th ww,terit pot -f it, tt , at of Day, op •rt. 1 " Tile wooded sandhills on Point DCVCTipOrt may be about forty to fifty feet in height ; and at about h Fri mile inland are salt water lageono, dry in Furamer, et/01MM 10111/. e-v I OND'fil.V. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1847. Austria is ingeniously precipitating the downfal of that power which it has exercised during three centuries in the Italian peninsula. After outraging: the opinsifon of the whole civilised world by the annexation of Cracow, it is calling down upon itself an indescribable odium by the occupation of Ferram. The outrageous audacity of these proceedings, however, constitutes their own coun terpoise. There can now be no fear for th, independence of those principalities which are con. tiguous to the Austrian dominions. Their permanen emancipation is only facilitated by the avariciou approaches and assaults of absolutism. Italy is a this moment affording testimony of the accuracy o this argument. So far from the entrance of Conn' AUPSBEHG into Ferrara proving the preliminary to the submission of the Pontifical Government, the: rash movement has Only consolidated the influence 0 the glorious reformer who has been christened by the people of Corneto, " Sovrano Padre e Redentore Im mortale iiau _Ni:r;r-rrasicu followed a more cau tious policy he might possibly have retarded the pro gress of the patriotic and liberative course now pursued by Pius IX., he might indeed have miti• gated, in some measure, the anguish accruing to th( despotic Government of Vienna from the disappear• ance of its authority in the Peninsula. As it is, hi has imparted an irresistible impulse to the political movements of an enlightened Sovereign and an una nimous race. His whole soul revolted doubtless a: the dispersion cf the dreams of his allegiance but in yielding to the first passion of his indignatioi at the proceedings of his HOLINESS, Prince METTER. NIGH hes only hastened the day when Venetian Lom hardy shall revile the domination of Hapsburg and th( whole of that immortal land of which it is the northers_ extremity—from the Cape of Spartivento to the frontiers of Switzerland—shall awake to the voice of Freedom. " Roma ! Roma ! Roma ! non e come era prima !" can no longer he the lament of the children of Italy—Pius has drowned that pathetic cry in the hymns of liberty and the acclamations of patriotism. Already has it been announced in our columns, anc confirmed by later intelligence, that the King of SAR. DINIA has associated himself with his HOLINESS in th' sublime cause of liberality, and in the united defence of their national existence. Hitherto CHARLES ALBERT has I:roved but a faithless ally when opposed to the legions of tyranny. We would believe, how ever, that his MAJESTIC is now so far committed with the antagonists of the Viennese Cabinet that there is no possibility of his withdrawal. His own stronghold of Alessandria has been threat ened with a fate similar to that of Ferrara; he hay already tendered his military and maritime forces to the Sovereign PONTIFF, and joins the Holy Father in protesting against the villanous and indefensible acts of Austria. Therefore it is that we would believe for once in the sincerity of a Monarch heretofore most insincere in his alliances and friendships Looking upon the co-operation of Sardinia as secured, the ruler of the 1' pal States can depend upon the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, where the rights of free• men are avowed with almost as much distinctness and cordiality as in the council chambers of the Vati can. The miniature republic of Marino is b 3 the force of its a n ti que i so l a ti on , a li ve t o the blessings of independence, and will be prepared to volunteer with its compatriots in the preservation of the integrity of the southern banks of the Po. Tilt minor duchies of Parma, Modena, and Lucca being. moreover, awed by their contiguity to dip principali ties banded together against the abhorrtediinnocuous, mercenaries oc Of FERDINAND, mustmust be rend ere d altogether if their population is rot actually arous e d b y the wrongs of Lombardy , and the enthusiasi sm of their infuriated s fellow -country' men. Venetian Lombardy itself will infallibly be prepared to shake off the chains under which it has so long groaned, so soon as it shall see a favourable oppor tunity, so soon, in short, as it shall perceive the other divisions of the Peninsula combined in the defence of their boundaries, and simultaneous in the announcement of their emancipation. Other wise all Europe has been deceived as to the latent valour of its inhabitants ; otherwise the intermittent groans its pr ess h ave b een i ns idious and illusory ; otherwise the la men t a ti ons o f S ILvIo Pennine) have been uttered to no purpose, end the bondage of that Austrian province is doomed to be perpetual. More or less, therefore, Sardinia and Tuscany are already leagued with his d OLINESS, and at heart Parma, Modena, Lucca, h. Venetian Lone berdy sympathise in the ardour of i : 1 3 1 supporters. All Northern and Central Italy, bfuort short,th sublimeare prepared to aid in the arduous Besides this, tb. struggle which seems to be preparing sub jects of the Soveriegn PONTIFF. Prussia regards the conduct of Pius IX. with a ls, proud], and FREDERICK WILHELM IV. has himself l pronounced the panegyric of the POPE while con versing with his Imperial Highness the Prince of CANINO. Belgium by its political tendencies is dis- wood may be obtained easily, as well as grass f or cattle embarked ; and I have very little doubt that fresh Water would be obtained in sinking wells on the shore above high water-mark. If to, Sturt's Bay will be found to be of importance in the conveyance of stock to port Lincoln, " FRED. H. ROBE, Lieutenant-Gove " rnor " Government House, Adelaide , Mar ch 24, 1847.
