Mr. BUNN has the honour of announcing to the public at large that, in consequ nee of the two national theatres, Drury-lane and Covent-gar en, of which he has for many years, jointly and severally, had 1/13 Management, having both passed into the hands of foreigners, he has entered into an arrangement with the lessee of this theatre, whereby he has become its sole manager, and with the view of sub mitting to their approbation every variety of attraction, especially all the popular productions of his recent management, he begs leave to submit the names of many of the eminent performers who will have the honour of appearing before them.

Honour to LEHARDI DE BEAULIEU, the originator of the Free-trade Congress recently assembled at Brussels. It is by the friction of discussion that eiery measure of national amelioration has been ob tained. Caprice never destroyed enactments calcu lated to be injurious to the multitude. Magna C'harta was not the result of caprice ; the Bill of Bights was not the result of caprice; Habeas Corpus was not the result of caprice; neither was the Relief Bill of 1829, nor the Parliamentary Reform of 1832, nor the Emancipation Act of 1834, nor the Municipal Corporation Bill of 1835, nor the Abolition of Pro tection in 1846. Whenever or wherever the abuses of a constitution have been removed, the removal has invariably been preceded by reflection and discussion. Formerly these preliminaries may have been latent, it is true ; but that constitutional improvements have been invariably prefaced by debate and contemplation is undeniable. Even when the advantage has been assured by a coup de main, that coup de main has been merely the sequence of an intellectual struggle. When ROBERT FITZWALTER, aided by STEPHEN LANGTON and the Barons, awed the royal caitiff, on the field of Runnymede, into a concession of the popular prerogatives, that overt act of intimidation was simply the consequence of many profound and protracted deliberations. When the Earl of SaAr. TESBURY, in 1679, won for himself the lenient consi deration of posterity by being principally instru mental in the passage of 31 Car. 11. c. 2—that glorious statute which secures his personal liberty to an Englishman !—the assent was only wrested from the Merry Monarch after a prolonged con ference between both Houses of the Legislature. Every one remembers, moreover, the extraordinary and reiterated discussions which alone extorted from Ignorance and Prejudice the five memorable reforms effected since the commencement of the nineteenth century. Every one remembers that the measure of 1829 was only acquired by such impassioned displays of oratory as almost amounted to temptations to sedi tion—by respectful appeals that gradually soared into authoritative demands—by electioneering strifes that threatened a serious, if not a systematic, rebellion. The measur e o f 18 32, again, was the fruit of an agita . )n aroused by the eloquence of declaimers and the arguments o f rhetori c i ans; i t was a consummation realised mainly by the rigid pertinacity of GREY, and the dazzling orations of Baouortax. It was as much the achievement of a congregatio n of illustrious la . bourers as the preceding innovation was the victory of onelindividual—O'CoNNEnn, THE LinEßAToit. The brilliant success of 1834—a success gained only by the disbursement of 20,000,0001. sterling from the national treasury—was in like manner the reward of the most arduous and repeated advocacy : it was the compensation at last afforded to the continual anxie ties and thwarted aspirations of CLARKSON and WIL BERFORCE. That the municipal reform of 1835 was only c arr i e d by Lcrd JOHN RUSSELL, after a succes sion of the most wearisome disappointments ; and that the co mmercial reform of 1846 was only carried by S i r ROBE RT P EEL, after disappointments still more wearisome, because more repeated and overwhelming, are facts which re qu i re no corroboration from the pages of the Parliamentary historian, because they are even now fresh in th e recollection of our con tnriporaries. It is proved, therefore, by our own experience as well as by the records of our ancestors that constitutional reforms are only to b e o b ta i ned by serious inquiry and candid argumentation. Even, as we have already instanced, in the days when feudality effected changes at the point of the lance or at the edge of the broadsword, those altera tended to the happiness of t he people were always born of the intellect and nurtured by deliberation. As it is from the effervescence of the tart juice ex pressed from the grape that the most generous wines are concocted, so the crude thoughts of the legisla tive innovator have to be fermented by discussion into the ripeness of actual reform. Honour, then, we repeat, to M. LEHARDI DE BEAULIEU, the ori. ginator of the Congres des Libres Echangistes at Brussels ! No city could have been selected more suitable than the capital of Belgium for the first assemblage of this most important association, for assuredly no seat of commerce could afford more conclusive evi dence than Brussels of the miseries resulting from the effete system of commercial or agricultural pro tection. Thanks to Mr. COBDEN and Sir ROBERT PEEL, we can now investigate the deplorable operation of the protective system upon the industry of our neighbours without that distracting knowledge of our own subjection to the like evils which hitherto embarrassed the inquiries, and divided the attention of Englishmen. Having released ourselves from the bondage of restrictive du ties we can the more dispassionately observe the working of the old scheme of international commerce, and can strive the more readily and effectually for the emancipation of the other kingdoms, whether manufacturing or agricultural. Besides which, it must never be forgotten that self-interest incites us to disseminate the doctrines of free trade. Now that our insular ports are opening we must endeavour, for our own sakes, as well as for the advantage of hu manity generally, to open the ports in the four con tinents. Receiving the produce of foreign nations without subjecting it to exorbitant imposts, we must strive to disclose to their rulers the advantage of a reciprocal proceeding. Giving such freedom to our importations we must, by diffusing the wisdom of ADAM SMITH and Hustossow, facilitate the pur chase of our exportations. Sufficient evidence of the rationality of free trade will be afforded in the lapse of time by the prosperity of the British islands—a prosperity resulting from the equalization of all interests amongst its inhabitants. But it is only in accordance with right reason to make every exertion to anticipate that evi dence by argument, and to convince the judg ments of foreigners by our logic, rather than to wait inertly to excite their avarice by our ulterior suc cesses. To do this only required the extension of that plan of periodical disputation which was followed by the renowned League, the establishment upon the European Continent of an association similar to that which, although of more restricted capacities, effected such a stupendous but bloodless revolution within the limits of the United Kingdom. This considera tion appeared so manifest to M. DE BEAULIEU, that he plainly announced the necessity for an aggregate meeting of Free-traders in one of the European capi tals, for the purpose_ of extending to the other king doms of Christendom the beneficent principles already incorporated with the Constitutions of England and Tuscany. Remembering, doubtless, the old legal aphorism, quod non habet prineipium, non habet finem, M. DE BEAULIEU so far impressed his contemporaries with the necessity of propagating the doctrines sub versive of the incubus of Protection, that his notion has been already realised ; and the Congress of Brus sels has taken that premier pas which, according to the adage, comprises the chief difficulty of any un dertaking. And Brussels, as we have already ob served, was most appropriately selected for the inaugurative assembly of free-trade delegates from different territories ; for Belgium is among the number of those commercial states which have peculiarly suffered from the erroneous policy of the monopolists—a policy which, pretending to favour the enterprise, cripples the industry of the community. Perhaps a more emphatic testimony of the evil consequences of this system could not be adduced than that mentioned by Mr. MADAM, that by reason of the duties imposed in 1842 upon yarn ; the e portation of Belgian linen, from amounting to the value of 33,000,000 f. in 1838, had decreased in 1846 to the value of 20,000,000 f. Such is the Protection which the Congress of Brus sels has been convened to destroy ! Such is the insane system which M. RITTINGHAUSEN and his associates are solicitous to uphold ! The League, under the auspices of RICHARD COBDEN, has afforded to the artizans of Great Britain a positive immunity from the ills hitherto inflicted upon them by the law for the exclusive satisfaction of their taskmasters. The Congress may perform a similar service for the artizans of Europe, and it may do immeasurably more—it may realise the dream of the most illustrious of the poets of the people. " I have seen peace descend upon the earth," says BERAN GER, " sowing gold, and flowers, AND CORN. The air was calm, avd she quenched the thunderbolts of the God of Battle. Arise!' cried the Goddess, ' Arise !ye equals in glory, men of France, of England, of Bel gium, of Russia, and of Germany! Arise,urseles a Holy v ye people, and, hand, in hand, establish among yo Alliance !' " Or, to give this noble vision in its ori ginal beauty : " J'ei vu la Paix descendre sur la terre, Semant de I'or, des flours et des L'air etait calme, et du dieu de la guerre Elle 6touffdit les foudres assoupis. Ah! disait-elle, i•gaux par la vaillance, Francais, Anglais, Beige, Russo, ou Germain, Peuples, formez une sainte alliance, Et donnez-vous la main!'" Utopian as a dream like this might have appeared when military campaigns were regarded as the only means of acquiring greatness, it appears rational and feasible to a generation animated by a feeling of universal brotherhood. It was from a profound conviction of this glorious truth that SURINGAR, a gentleman of Holland, exclaimed the other evening to the assembled Congress, " War is talked of as probable, but I am satisfied that if Sovereigns are foolish enough to think of the project, the people are wise enough to prevent its execution." Onwards, then, in your humanizing course, advocates of free trade with all the world! Happier than ARCHIMEDES, you have the power to move that world—morally. You have the lever in your grasp and the ground under your feet in Tuscany and England. The Poor-law Commissioners have dissolved the Lowtherstown board of guardians, pursuant to the power vested in them under the 18th section of the Irish Relief Extension Act, and the affairs of that union are to be henceforward, or, at least, so long as it may seem fit to the Commissioners, to be managed by paid officers, who will, of course, forthwith be appointed, and whose first act will be to strike a rate sufficient to reimburse the Government the full amount of the advances under the Temporary Relief Act, the payment of which will be strictly and speedily enforced. The late board did not repudiate the whole of the debt, but they proposed to pay oae moiety thereof by six annual instalments, and forth with to raise the first of these instalments. Thi s, however, the Commissioners have positively refused to accept, and in the letter announcing the disso lution of the board, they have sharply censured the members for their refusal to act in accordance with their moral obligations, which the Commissioners de signate " as inconsistent with that honesty in pecu niary transactions which ought to be one of the leading principles both of individuals and public bo dies." This lecture has, it appears, given the greatest offence to the parties to whom it was addressed, and a very strong reply has been returned, in which they attack the Commissioners for having raised the salaries of the Protestant and Roman Catholic chaplains, without any reference to the board, for having dismissed the master of the workhouse, not withstanding the remonstrances of the board ; and, finally, for the present act by which they are dis solved, which acts they state " to be neither courteous nor marked by that deference which should be paid by the Commissioners to a board composed of the persons most deeply interested in the well-being of the union." And they add, that " As to the letter accompanying the dismissal, their unanimous opinion is, that the Commissioners have ex ceeded their duty in presuming to write to any board of guardians their opinion of what moral obligations, and of what honesty or dishonesty may consist in, and, in doing so, have taken advantage of their official position to use language to a public board which, in a private capacity, they dare not use , to them as individuals." Even this was not suffi• ciently strong for one of the body, who added a memorandum, to the effect " that he did not consider it to go far enough in ex pressing his opinion of the arbitrary and unjust proceedings of the Commissioners, nor of the impertinent and unfounded statements in their letters." In addition to the above, a memorial to the Lords of the Treasury, calling their attention to the correspondence and resolutions passed relating to the matters at issue between the Commissioners and the board, and giving it as their opinion that "if the rate demanded ie attempted to be levied in the present distressed state of the country, a system of resistance (induced solely by an inability) would be originated, which at a future period it would be difficult to suppress ; and calling upon their Lordships to decide that the mode of repayment proposed is that best suited to the con dition of the country, and must likely to be attended with success in the levying; and that they will be pleased to direct the Poor-law Commissioners to act accordingly." Such is the present state of the contest, but we regret to say that the spirit of insubordination is very widely spread, and that similar example* will pro bably take place in very many parts of the country. The Ennis corthy board have unanimously decided on adhering to their previous resolutions, notwithstanding the remonstrances and the threats of the Commis sioners, and the express intimation that their perse verance would be followed by their immediate disso lution. The Antrim board and several others have also rebelled against the central authority; and despite of the very fair and reasonable explanation given to them as to the necessity for the appointment of relieving officers in every union, even though out door relief should not be administered, many other boards have positively refused to carry the directions of the Commissioners into execution, and very few indeed have evinced, or are likely to follow the prece dent set by the Nenagh board in withdrawing from the contest into which they had entered. One of the most remarkable features of the conflict in every part of the country is that, with some few exceptions, the chief and most strenuous opponents of the Commis sioners are the ex-officio guardians, the landed pro prietors, who thereby are considerably increasing the difficulties of their position, while those elected by the people, on the contrary, seem more inclined to accord with the views of the Commissioners, or, at least, re frain from carrying on the battle to the extremity. We deeply regret this untoward state of affairs, and lament that a little more moderation and dis cretion has not been exhibited on all sides. The law, although perfectly just, and calculated ulti mately to benefit all parties—the proprietors of the soil as much as any others—and will at first press with much severity on those whose proper ties are already deeply encumbered, and from whom the portion that would be applicable for their own use will be taken in order to meet the liability, and we fear that a very large proportion of the landowners will be placed in this unpleasant position. It is, therefore, only fair to make some allowance for their feelings, who believe, whether justly or otherwise, that their ruin will be thereby effected. Any ground, therefore, on which even the slightest appearance of injustice or undue severity can be ascribed had better be avoided. In a little time, too, all parties will see the necessity for their zealous co-operation in reducing the burdens to the utmost ex tent, by atlbrding adequate employment for those who must otherwise be supported in idleness. Many plans will undoubtedly be speedily brought into operation for that purpose which cannot now be made available. The weight, too, will be more heavily felt at first, more particularly when following a year of such unusual distress as that which has just gone by. There is also much reason, notwithstanding the bountiful harvest that has been gathered in, to fear that much destitution will be manifested among the poorer classes in consequence of the small quan tity of potatoes that were planted throughout the country, to meet the exigencies of the coming winter. The full amount of the expen diture necessary cannot be safely calculated. There is, therefore, every reason why the Govern ment should not press at this moment for the full amount of their claim, but be satisfied with a re• cognition of its justice, and a partial payment on account thereof. On the other hand, we have already pointed out the dangers and the fatal conse quences that must ensue to the landlords themselves from any general or organized resistance to the rates. Even if it were practicable, they would be the chief sufferers themselves, for it is impossible to suppose that the example would not be speedily followed with respect to their own rents. We sincerely trust that some mutual concessions may terminate these very unpleasant differences, and that all parties may again be united for the benefit of Ireland, which so urgently requires the cordial services of all her chil dren at this crisis. Letters from Leghorn state that the people of that city received with marks of great discontent the law organizing the National Guard, which has just been promulgated in Tuscany. A protest was drawn up, and had received innumerable signatures, when the Grand Duke appointed a committee, to propose such modifications as might be deemed admissible. The departure of the Duke of LUCCA continues to be the subject of discussion, and the most contradictory re ports upon it are itt circulation. It was not without great reluctance and regret that the young consort of tha Hereditary Prince quitted Lucca. The Princess, who is sister of the Duke DE BORDEAUX, accused her father-in-law and husband of pusillanimity, and strongly urged them to stay. It is deeply regretted at Lucca that her councils did not prevail. The Piedmontese Gazette of the 20th states that the Duke of MODENA has ordered a cordon inilitaire to be drawn along the frontier of Tuscany. A letter from Rome, of the 19th, says : " There is nothing of much novelty at Rome ; everything is porfectly tranquil, as well as in all the rest of the Pontifical States. Addresses of provinces and towns pour in, and place everything at the dis posal of his Holiness, to enable it to be prepared for events. At Ferrara things are still in the state in which they were ten days ago. There has been neither increase nor diminution in the garrison. But the Austrians hold with firmness the positions which they so brutally invaded. On his part the Holy Father, and his excellent Secretary of State, Ferretti, persist more firmly than ever in the attitude which they have assumed with respect to the Austrian Ca binet. This firmness of the Government renders the Romans prouder and more devoted than ever. In short, never did a Government find itself in so advan tageous a position. Surrounded by the love and en thusiasm of his subjects, by an Italian population of 25,000,000 men, and by the admiration of the world, the Pope has nothing to fear from his enemies. The French squadron is still ire the Bay of Naples, ready to proceed wherever need may require." _ . It is said that Prince METTERNICU offered the POPE to leave the question of the occupation of Fer rara to the arbitration of France, which offer the latter declined to entertain until after the evacuation of the town. According to letters from Bologna of the 17th inst., some rioting took place in that city on the previous day, on the occasion of the translation of the banner, given to the inhabitants of Bologna by those u of Fl orence, to the head-quarters of the Civic e emigration, friends o f l‘l wh o having failed in pr oo lately urio g h returned uardT from his election as officer of the Civic Guard, loudly de nounced, in the c o ff ee -h ouse of the " Union," what they called the ingratitude o f hi s fellow-countrymen. This statement was impugned by persons of the mo derate party, and such a scene of confusion arose that the troops were obliged to interfere to restore order. A letter from Venice, of the 16th, mentions a rumour that Prince LUCIEN BONAPAUTE had been ordered to leave Venice, in consequence of the exces sively liberal tone of his speech in the Scientific Con. gress, and his eulogiums on the POPE. The same letter states that the town of Venice has made a mag nificent present to the congress—of a description of Venice in three volumes, got up with great elegance. In addition to this, each member of the congress has received a fine engraving of Venice and several books. The Government intends to strike a medal with the head of AlAuco POLO, in commemoration of the con gress. Milan continued tranquil according to the last accounts. This state of tranquillity is owing, it is said, to the arrest of Count BoLza, a very influential person in the high Austrian police. The matter took place in this way. It is known how the rejoicings in that city for the installation of the new Archbishop , degenerated into quarrels with the police and the troops, and how, each evening, these scenes were re peated. The Podesta, a mild and timid man, and up to that time a partisan of Austria, being moved by the general indignation, proceeded courageously to the Governor's palace, and energetically represented to him that the provocations and the brutality of the agents formed by Count BOLZA, and sent by him against the crowd, were the only cause of the deplora ble evils which had taken place; that the detestation felt for the Count and his band could not be calmed down but by a measure which would show that the Government was not an accomplice in the Count's excesses. On that condition, he promised that no disorder should take place in the city, and he took upon himself the responsibility of his promise. The Governor acceded to the demand of the Podesta. Count BOLZI was suspended, and the city remained perfectly calm. The next day the Count was arrested and thrown into prison. A letter, dated Naples, Sept. 13th, says : " The insurgents of Reggio have retired to Girace, where they have fortified themselves. It is said that their number has been considerably increased, and that several of those who fled from Messina have joined them. Two thousand of the royal troops are in march to attack them. Numerous arrests are being made at Messina, particularly among the clergy. It is said that emissaries from the Young Italy ' party at Malta, have sent a large sum of money to Naples. The news received from La Pouille are satisfactory. In the Abruzzias, on the contrary, there is still great excitement. Several squadrons of cavalry are to set off for that part to morrow. General Shadelen is in the neighbourhood of Cosenza, where he is carrying on active opera tions. The number of the brigands is said to be dimi nishing." It was rumoured in Paris, on Saturday, that the insurgents had defeated the Royalist troops sent against them, and had repossessed themselves of Reggio. A letter from Berne, of the 20th, says—" The armament is still going on, and none but men in military uniforms are seen in the streets of Berne. About a hundred officers are assembled to practise the profession of arms. Four companies of artillery have been sent to Thun to practise firing. Business is completely stagnant. The arrival of Lord MINTO has made some sensation. After having conferred with Mr. PEEL, he made a long visit to M. OCHSENEEIN, President of the Confederation, who returned it a few hours after. Lord MINTo took his departure this evening for Turin and Rome." The Canton of Zurich has demanded the dissolu tion of the Sonderbund, and has granted a consider able sum for placing the militia of the canton on a war footing. Berne and Zurich are the most populous and wealthy cantons in Switzerland, and can alone bring into the field 40,000 men perfectly drilled, armed, and equipped, and maintain them during two months without any detriment to their finances. The Austrian Envoy, Baron DE KAISERSFELD, con tinued to reside at Zurich, from whence he was strenuously labouring to prevent the Governments of St. Gall and the Grisons from instructing their Deputies in the Diet, which is to meet on the 18th of October, to vote in favour of the adoption of coercive measures against the Sonderbund. There was, however, very little probability of his attaining that end. The French Ambassador, M. BOIS-LE- ComTE, has undertaken a tour through the French districts of the canton of Berne, to ascertain if the population, which is entirely Ca tholic, would be disposed to side with their co religionists of the seven cantons of the League. The Ambassador was to proceed thence to Lucerne, with a view to moderate the warlike dispositions of his friends. He would afterwards visit the primi tive cantons and sojourn some time at Zurich, where he was to meet the representatives of Austria, Russia, and Prussia, in order to consult with them on the situation of Switzerland, and devise means of counteracting the moral support given by the British Cabinet to the Liberal cantons. It is said that the Earl of MINTo repeated to the President of the Directory, M. OCRSENBEIN, the as surances contained in Lord PALMERSTON'S dispatch of last month, to the effect, that England would oppose all intervention on the part of the foreign Powers having for its object to prevent the con federation, either from introducing into its constitu tion the reforms it might deem necessary, or repressing, by the means sanctioned by the federal compact, the revolt of the Ultramontane League." Intelligence from Lisbon to the 19th, and from Oporto to the 21st, has been received by the steam ship Madrid, belonging to the Peninsular and Oriental Company, which arrived yesterday at Southampton. The split between the Cabralists and the partisans of SALDANIIA is complete, while, for electoral purposes, a coalition has taken place between the Miguelites and Septembrists. A grand meeting of the leading men of the (quondam) Miguelite party took place some days ago, at the Palacio Dourado. No less than two hun dred and thirty gentlemen assembled on the occasion. Amongst them were the Counts POMBEIRO, BAR BACENA, BAHIA, and ST. LOURENCO; Viscounts AZURARA, ESTREMOZ, SOUTO, DEBET ; Marquises of PoMBAL and Borm. The subject of deliberation was, whether they should give their support to the Septembrist candidates in the approaching elections, and it was decided in the affirmative. Subsequently to the holding of this meeting, General Povoas, Bri gadiers GUEDES and BERNARDINO, and several other Miguelite officers, who had fled to Vigo after the fall of Oporto, returned to this city by the packet from the north, for the avowed purpose of co-operating with the Septembrists. SaLpaimia, who has been appointed Ambassador to Madrid, has declared his determination to remain in Lisbon until the election s are over. I n t h e mean while the new Ministry seems to be gaining strength and popularity. A deputation from the " Septembrist Electoral Centre," composed of Viscount POSTE ARCADA and M. SAMPAIO, the editor of the Revo lucao, having waited on the Minister of the Interior, with a representation setting forth the shameful con duct of the local authorities throughout the country in regard to the registration of voters, as well as the cruel persecution which was carried on in the pro vinces against the popular party, many of whom had been obliged to fly from their own places, and take refuge in the capital or in foreign countries, and praying that the Government would take prompt measures to put a stop to the evils com• plained of, and secure the promised freedom of election, were received very courteously, and, after a long conference, requested to return on the following day ; and when next day they waited on him, according to appointment, he told them that the Government would accede to some of their pro posals, but that for this it would be necessary to put off the elections. lie then asked them whether, in such case, the Septembrist press would oppose the Government, to which they replied in the negative, assuring him that a short postponement, having for its object the removal of the obstacles opposed to the liberty of the electoral urn, would meet with no op position from their party. It has been settled between the Government and the Septembrists that the elec tions shall be put off for three months more. The Septembrist Central Electoral Committee have addressed the following letter to the Ministers of England, France, and Spain, with a copy of the representation presented to the Government : " Sir,—The electoral committee of the national party has the honour to forward to your Excellency the enclosed c o py of a representation which it has addressed to her Majesty the Queen. " The Portuguese people wish for peace and order, but they lik ew i se d es ire to have liberty. The allies promised us a free national representation which should truly express the will of the country. We now strive for it at the poll as we fought for it in the field. Our end is still the same, though the means we use are different. " And it is in order that the wish of the nation should be satisfied, and the promise of the interven ing powers fulfilled, that the committee now makes known to you th e o bstacles it encounters, and which it prays may be removed. "There is no security, and it is necessary that it should exist. There is no legal recenseament (regis tration of voters), and it is necessary that there should be such legal registration. " When three powerful nations disarmed us, they promised u s j us ti ce an d peace; we have, therefore, a right to demand from those nations that which they solemnly engaged, before the whole world, to secure to us. " Our rights, the justice of our cause, ought not to perish at the armed hands of the allies ; and if the promises of the potentates of the earth be not a mockery, the committee hopes that might will not prevail over right, and that the liberties of the Portu guese people will not be for ever lost. " God preserve your Excellency. (Signed) " Marquis of LOULE, President. Count DAS ANTAS. F. P. OTTOLIN I. Don JOSE D'ALENC.XSTRE. M. N. CASTELLO MANGO. Viscount FONTE ARCADA. A. R. SAMPAIO. " Lisbon, Sept. 14, 1847." The following extracts from the address to the QUEEN, will show the grievances of which these gentlemen complain : " A great number of your Majesty's subjects have been obliged to fly from their homes. Some are in foreign countries, others have taken refuge in the mountain districts, while others again have sought shelter in the capital from the personal vengeance and animosity which pursued them in their own places. " It was in 1845 that this fearful struggle between the electoral bodies and the authrities commenced. To fraud in the registrations succeeded violence and assassination, and these in their turn were followed by a revolution. The very authorities whose flagiti ous conduct provoked that revolution are now rein stated in power, and have recommenced precisely the same course. By such proceedings as these the re presentative system becomes a mere illusion. " Your Majesty's subjects do not think that the excitement of party feeling disqualifies them for snaking a good choice of representatives. On the contrary, they think that the love of country, with out enthusiasm and without passion, is impossible at all times, but especially so after the termination of a great crisis, and that liberty would be endangered if that strong passion which alone can give it enduring vitality should become deadened." The Volunteer Battalions have petitioned to be dissolved. The recent changes in Spain have pro duced a great moral effect in Lisbon, and have tended to dishearten the Cabralistas. The Terrible, with Count BOMFIM, and the other Torres Vedras victims, is daily expected in the Tagua from Angola. Madrid journals of the 19th and 20th have arrived The Gageta publishes a dispatch from the Captain- General of Gallicia, announcing the complete destruc tion of the Carlist band of EL EBANISTA. The Popular announces that CABRERA has re entered Spain. General PAvIA had arrived at Madrid, as had also General VIGo, the new Captain- General. The Infante Don FRANCISCO DE PAULA was to reach Vittoria on the 16th. SIMON LATORRE, formerly a celebrated Carlist chief; has arrived in Madrid, and is to be entrusted by the Government with an important mission. There were reports of a Ministerial crisis on the 20th, but they appear to have had no foundation. The Pro gressistas are anxious for an immediate dissolution of the Cortes, but no decision has as yet been come to on the subject. Letters from Catalonia give accounts of more en gagements between the insurgent bands and the QUEEN'S troops, but none of them appear to have been of any importance. On the 13th, two Monte molonist chiefs who had been taken with arms in their hands were shot. General MANUEL DE LA CONCHA has published an address to the inhabitants of Catalonia, in which, after stating that he will endea vour to establish peace in the province, be assures them that the Government entertains the strongest. desire to protect their trade and promote their pros perity. _ . Monsignor BRUNELLI, the POPE'S Envoy, had had an interview with the President of the Council in presence of several distinguished prelates of the Spanish Church, the result of which was said to be most satisfactory. MADRID BOLSA, SEPT. 20.—The Three per Cents. were done at 26 9-16 for cash; the Four per Cents. at 161 ; the Five per Cents. at 17i ; the Debt without Interest at ; and the Coupons at 14. We have received the Paris papers of Friday and Saturday. The :Dads of Friday publishes a long attack on the guests at the Reform banquet at St. Quentin on the 19th, which is replied to in the Constitutionnel of Saturday. It is evident that these banquets are becoming a source of great annoyance and of some fear to the Government. It is a movement of happy omen for the cause of constitutional liberty in France. We find for the first time that Reformers of all classes, from M. TIIIERS to M. CONSIDERANT, have deter Mined to sink their differences, and to unite to obtain by legal and peaceable means electoral reform, on the necessity of which they are all agreed. Against such an union of Reformers detached forts and physical force are useless. They will not break the law, and hence their power. The Presse considers it very hard that Greece should be called upon to pay the interest of her loan, because she had to take it at a discount, and because a portion of it was spent in paying the indemnity due to Turkey, another portion in paying the army, and another portion in paying the expenses of the Regency before the KING became of age. This is perhaps the most impudent defence of fraudulent bankruptcy ever put forth. Has not every borrower of money, whether a nation or an individual, to pay:a discount, and, in most instances, a heavier discount than Greece paid (the loan was taken at 94):for:the ac commodation ? And as to the sums paid for indemnity for the army and the Regency, they were debts due from Greece, debts for the liquidation of Zilch the loan was contracted ; besides, Greece having had the money, it matters nothing to the lender whether she expended it economically or squandered it away. The only point the three Powers have to consider is, can Greece pay, or can she not ? That she can pay is evident, and therefore we hope Lord PALMERSTON will continue to make her pay. The Presse confirms the news of the death of COLETTI, which took place on the 10th. M. GUIZOT on Friday received a dis patch from M. PISCATORY, announcing the decease of the Greek Premier. The appointment of the Duke D'AUMALE to Algeria appears to have given umbrage not only to the Oppo sition, but to the army. The Echo de Vesone, the organ of Marshal BUGEAUD, thus speaks of it : " The nomination of the Duke D'AUMALE to that post is impolitic, fatal to France, and ruinous for Algeria. It is the most unpopular act of the reign, and its disastrous consequences will soon be felt." The National has the following on the subject of the frauds committed at Havre : " The frauds into which justice is making an in vestigation at Havre were practised on a vast scale. We hive received precise information, which enables us to make a near estimate of the loss sustained by the public treasury. The ship Louise was in the number of the merchant vessels which were employed in the conveyance of coal supplied to the State for the coast of Africa. The Louise measures 342 tons, and can at the outside carry 460, say 500. But things were so managed as to cause it to be recognised that she had 650 tons on her departure, which already constitute a fraud of 150 tons in the loading of the ship at Havre. Means were next found at the place of her arrival to cause 750 tons, instead of 650, to be received, and even paid for ; which constitutes a new fraud of 100 tons. Let us see, in round figures, the consequences of this operation. On the 650 tons falsely declared and recognised, on the re-exportation 150 remained at Havre, and were consumed free from the Custom-house duties of sf. 50c. per ton ; which causes a loss of 825 f. to the Ministry of Finance. The loss to the Ministry of Marine stands thus :—At the departure 150 tons too many set down make, at 60f. per ton, 9,000 f. ; at the arrival, a new excess of 100 tons gives 6,0001. Total, 15,0001. Starting from this basis, we find that if for the 500 tons of the Louise, the loss to the department of finance has amounted to 825 f., it must have amounted for the 40,000 tons to be supplied during the two years of the adjudication to about 60,000 f. If for these same 500 tons of the Louise, the loss to the marine department, on the departure or arrival, were 15,000 f., it may be esti mated at about 1,000,0001. for the 40,000. It is just to remark, that by circumstances which are not ex plained, and which the investigation will, no doubt, make known, the sums received for the 100 tons too many which the Louise was represented to contain at the place of arrival, have been restored, which for the whole would cause a restitution of 400,000 f. to be supposed. We will not speak of the frauds committed with respect to the supply of coal to the Marquesas Islands, because we have not the bases of a calcula lation. We will confine ourselves to saying that the frauds must amount to considerable sums, for the price of the ton on delivery is 160 f. There is a talk, it is said, of a loss of from 700,0001. to 800,0001. How strange it is that frauds so clumsy in the exe cution, so ruinous in their consequences, should have been committed during fifteen or twenty months, without the Administration even suspecting their existence !" Prince NAPOLEON BONAPARTE, son of JEROME, ex-King of Westphalia, arrived in Paris on Thursday. The ICING and QUEEN of the FRENCH are expected at the Chateau de Dreux at the beginning of next week, on their way to La Ferte-Vidame, where a- tensive repairs and embellishments have been executed within the last eighteen months. The KING admitted the Ambassador of the Schah of PERSIA to a solemn audience at Compeigne on Friday. The Journal des Darts says— " A circumstance, which is not without gravity, has just caused somewhat profound derangement in the financial and commercial circles of Vienna. In order to stop the decline of public stock which was taking place in that city, as well as in London and Paris, the Austrian Government announced some time ago that it would, through the Bank of Vienna, purchase, at a determined price, the shares of certain important railways, and that it would lend money at a moderate rate on the deposit of such shares, as well as upon the deposit of all such receipts of Austrian stock. The mercantile classes made a very extensive use of these facilities ; but we learn by letters, which arrived yesterday from Vienna, that the Government has suddenly, and without any previous notice, with drawn this precious assistance, which it had so gene rously given. the consequence was a decline of 8 per cent. on railway shares, and 2 per cent. on funded stock, the Bank continuing to lend money on deposit of stock receipts as before." A letter from Vienna of the 19th, in a German journal called the Zeitung,'s Halle, asserts that Prince METTERNICH, in accord with the Minister of Finance, has withdrawn the order against the further purchase of railroad shares, and that the sinking fund has again made purchases to the amount of forty-five millions of francs. The revocation of the order has, it is added, excited great enthusiasm at the Bourse of ' Vienna. A rumour having been current that the order against the further purchase of railroad shares had been induced by the probability of a war, which would render it necessary for the Government to husband its resources, M. DE METTERNICH is stated to have declared that the only motive was a difference of liquidation between the bank and the sinking fund. The Journal des Debats contains a pastoral letter addressed to the clergy and the faithful of his diocese by the Archbishop of PARIS, in which he commands that prayers be offered for Pope Plus IX. and the success of his reforms. His pastoral letter was to be read on Sunday (yesterday) in all the churches of Paris. " We receive to-day, via Spain," says the Union Monarchique, " an important piece of intelligence from Morocco. If we are to credit the F-co del Comercio, Anu-EL•KADER had entered Fez, the capital and military key of the empire. Such an announcement should be received with great caution, for it is in direct contradiction with the information published two days ago by the Journal des Debats." It was rumoured in Paris, on Saturday, that a tele graphic dispatch had been received from Madrid on the previous day, announcing the promulgation of a royal decree prohibiting the entry into Spain of any member of the Royal Family without the consent of the QUEEN. This decree is evidently directed against Queen CHRISTINA. The Count DE SYRACUSE left Marseilles on Mon day for Italy. He went by land, the boisterous state of the sea having prevented him from fulfilling his intention of travelling by water.

THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 27, 1817. BRAZILS. FALMOUTH, SATURDAY.—Her Majesty's packet, Seagull, arrived here to-day, from Rio de Janeiro on August 8 ; Bahia, 17 ; Pernambuco 24, and had the following passengers :—His Excellency Count Rechberg. the Austrian Minister at Rio, and his ser vant; and Mr. and Mrs. Schroeder, from Rio; Mr, and Mrs. Douglas, from Bahia; and Mrs. Booth and servant, from Buenos Ayres. The Constitution, Brazilian frigate, arrived at Rio on August 7, from Lisbon ; the British frigate arrived there on the 4th, having on Board Lord Howden, her Majesty's Plenipotentiary, from La Plata ; his Lordship was presented to the Emperor on the 7th. The French war steamer, Cassini, ar rived on the 10th, having on board the French Minister, Count Walewski, also from the river, and was expected to sail on the 12th, for Toulon.

She passed the Antelope, screw steamer, from Liverpool, on the 9th of August, going into Rio. The blockade of the Buenos Ayrean and the Ar gentine ports was still continued by the French. BUENOS AYRES, JULY 10.—The news of the failure of the negotiation for peace on a point deeply affect ing the sovereign rights of the republic of La Plata, has produced a change in the administration of affairs in Monte Video, well calculated to give rise to much speculation. Those servile tools of foreign interven tion who lately had the baseness to place the Italian adventurer Garibaldi at the head of the garrison have been forced to resign, as well as their protége; and a new Ministry has been appointed, consisting of Messrs. Barreiro, for Foreign Affairs and Finance ; Pereira, for the Home Department ; and Correa, for War. An Oriental also, Colonel Villagran, has been named commander in chief. The developments of this political move are looked for with considerable interest. (From the Rio Mercantile Journal, of August 6.) The transactions for the month of July were to an average amount. Imports were excessive, sales limited, and collections more tardy than in previous months. Produce was, upon the whole, active, and the business of the money market was extensive. The extraordinary high rates of freight during the first few days of the month depressed prices, and soon as vessels became more abundant, the market rallied and the transactions were extensive, attended by an improvement in superior and first ordinary of 100 reis ; in first good of fully 150 reis Der arroba, con siderable inquiry having prevailed for the last-named description, particularly new. Total exported in July 100,092 bags. Early in the month of July small sales of campos were made for consumption at 2 rix dollars 900 reis. High freights and unfavourable accounts from foreign markets had acted prejudicially on the sale of hides. Aua. s.—The prices of coffee continues unaltered, and the sales amount to 18,000 bags. Shipped since Ist inst., 16,024 bags. The arrivals of sugar unimportant. Sold, 100 cases low brown, at 1 rix dollar 800 reis ; on hand, 150 cases. Of hides no sales reported. Freights continue depressed. Hamburgh, the Channel, and Trieste, 80s. Discounts steady, at 7to 7/. Stock firmer, from 83 to 83/. Exchange, 27k. MEXICO AND THE UNITED STATES. LIVERPOOL, SEPT. 25. The packet ship Columbia, Captain Furber, arrived in the Mersey this morning from New York. She sailed from that city on the Ist instant, and brings papers of the same date, which are only one day later than those received per the Cambria. There does not appear to be any news of importance, nor any thing new from the American forces in Mexico. The Mexican forces were harrassing and greatly annoying their opponents by guerilla warfare. The commercial intelligence is not different from what was brought by the Boston steamer. We may just observe that freights were very dull, and it was with difficulty that Is. per barrel could be obtained for flour to Liverpool. HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO SCOTLAND.—IN VER . NESS, SEPT. 25. Yesterday morning the Duke of Sutherland steamer left here, convey ing to London the royal servants, carriages, horses, and baggage, attendant upon the Queen during her most gracious Majesty's excursion to the Highlands. Much curiosity was felt throughout this neighbourhood to receive intelligence of the arrival of the Sovereign and her Illustrious Con sort in the metropolis. No other London journal, how ever, contained any tidings of the august party reaching the Euston-square Station, except the Third Edition of 7'he Sun, which was duly received here with the mail of last night.—From a Correspondent. THE " SUN " EXPRESS.—We were favoured with an express edition of The Sun of Tuesday night, con veying intelligence of her Majesty's sate arrival in London.—No other journal contained the same gratify ing news, which proves the great enterprise and perse verance of Mr. Young, the proprietor.--Inverness Journal REG I S (BeforeT R e i lt ri\ T l; r 1 .0 01. 17 5 ,.6 m N riu N is .
