The Livery did not, as was expected yesterday, cart. / Mr. HARMER. beyond his opponents. To do so is still in their power. He is persecuted on account of the opinions of others, which he has disclaimed. Is it his fault, if great masses of the people, weary with long suffering, have come to hate the Monarchy and hate the religion which, in stead of being a consolation to them has been allied with their oppressors, and has scandalously sanc tioned the injustice of which they are the victims ? If the Livery punish Mr. HARMER because strong opinions, coarsely expressed, find ready acceptance amongst such a people, they will do a most serious injustice, and entail much misery on their poste rity. It is yet in their power to avoid that by hastening to the Poll and voting for Mr. HARMER. Some of cur Contemporaries stem inclined to make the public believe that her MAJESTY'S ships and the naval arsenals, are not properly taken care of To all such we recommend the following obser vatic's; of the Deeonport Correspondeht of the Times, published by that paper on Saturday Like others, ton, the more I reflect upon the matter, the mor.: I see of the strictness of the discipline main tained in the arsenal, and the more I am told cf the precautions which are taken to guard against fire. the less am I able to satisfy my own m:nd with any of the probabilities which suggest themselves ; yet I do not believe that it was the word of an ine,iediary. li it be that malice was at the k.ttom of this calamity, and it be said that the evil-disposed person had con cealed himself on board the ill-fated ship or amongst the wood in the dock-yard, then the question arises, was such concealment or was escape possible ? , To answer this satisfactorily, let me point out the strin gent regulations that are adopted to prevent any one improperly entering or issuing from the arsenel. To obtain entrance strangers must make a written applica tion to the Rear-Admiral Superintendent, and when his permission is obtained, a policeman is sent round with the visitor, who never quits him fur on,:. mo ment until he leaves the gate by which he entered. By day and by night, too, sentinels in great numbers are posted round the yard, and policemen constantly pera,,,'- /,late over every part of the establishment. '1 hese men are visited frequently by the officers on duty, and, indeed, every possible precaution appears to be taken to seem e the safety of the stores, and to guard especially against fire. I do not think it possible, therefore, that any stranger could have set the Talavera on fire. Guarded by a policeman, and exposed to the observations of the sentinels and of the workmen, I cannot imagine that any one coald have found an opportunity, undetected, to fire that ship. Besides, the utmost suspicion is manifested ants foreigners, in partiegar e are watched with all the care and caution which jealousy can suggest. • * The rritnes of the workmen are called over on en tering and on leaving the yard, and no one has been missed, 4Dr has suspicion even Callen upon a single one of them. The convicts are also regularly mustered, tt eir actioros watched with the greatest care, and they are scarcely ever employed on board the vessels in the docks. Indeed, no one convict could hive been on 'board the Talavera, nor could one of that body of labour. erg have obttained possession of combustible materials to throw on board the ship. Smoking is strictly for bidden ; fire is used only when unavoidably necessary, and is never :made except in certain appointed places ; and when can lies are used, every possible precaution is adopted to guard against the danger. Where, then, ould the fire have been obtained by either workmen or convict which caused the destruction of so much pro. I erty ? _ _ . . These obser rations are not made by a friend to the Admiralty ; for the same writer, in the Times of yester,day, endeawours to show, very unsuccessfully indeed, That the fire might have been prevented, had what is called " economy" been loss strictly enforced, that the whole establishment is placed in constant danger _ by an absurd desire to save a fe v pounds, and that _t was announced a day or two ago that Messrs, certain measuras which are in contemplation, while i!se- I BARCLAY and CONIPANY had issued a circular less and expensive, are at the same time calculated to 1 I stating that in consequence of the high price of hops render any future fire in the arsenal infinitely more de structive than the present. The only fault, however, we find ascribed to the ! the price of their ale would be raised some 7s. a present syste m is, that ~ formerly two men were sta- i barrel. The beer-drinkers then pay immediately tion'ed every : e ic s e am oi etime night on board each vessel in dock, I to the brewers for any rise in the whether owing to a duty levied on that article or aid that this judicious practice has been given up-,, ! A score of other to the same strain, an d Tory . journalists have written in :' a comparative scarcity of it. About t p l . r hops, . anathemas have been pointed that this circular was issued by Messrs. BARCLAY ar.ainst the Mini ster s , from London to Lond o n- ' and CoItPANY the Court Circular announced that de.rry, for having done away with these two watch- a Deputation of hop planters, head e d b y Mr. Hones, on the score of e conomy. Gentlemen of the HODS, N'T .....P., and other gentlemen, had wait e d L radon, Dublin, and Edinburgh Press may Imo .on the CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER) and • 1 all things, as we have no doubt they do, but they would pro!iably obtain more reputation for know ledge if they wrote somewhat less. Why were these two watchmen taken away ? Because they were found not only to be useless but dange rous. They could not be kept on board a ship through the long dreary nights of winter with out firing of some kind or another, and from the use of firing more accidents were likely to occur, and did, we believe, occur, than they could ever prevent. They smoked their pipes too, they sometimes got tipsy, for there was no guarding against that, and •the ships were safer without Ciem. But how could two men in a large ship like the St. George, or the Talavera, or the Cam p:A-down, guard every part of such a ship through a long night—for it was only by night that they were placed there ? They could no more do any such thing effectually, every part of the ship being in darkness, than two policemen could, through the livelong night, watch every alley in London. TO place two men on board a ship, and to make them answerable for her safety, was calling on them to be responsible for an impossibility, even if they had been the most vigilant watchmen that ever took care of the public welfare. It certainly happened in the case of the Talavera that if there had been a watchman on board, and lie had chanced to have been perfectly sober and wide-awake all night, and not suffocated by the smoke stealthily pervading every part of the ship before the flames broke out, he might have given the alarm somewhat earlier than it was given, but that is all that the most vigilant watchman could have done, or could have been answerable for not doing. But to make so very rare a circumstance as that a reason for condemning the Admiralty, be cause there was no such watchman in the ship, is abut as absurd as to assert that the police are greatly to blame because, if one of them had been at Mr. WESTWOOD'S shop-door, that unfortunate man would not have been murdered. It is a sin gular thing that the sentinels and policemen on duty did not detect the fire before it had pervaded the whole ship—a pretty strong proof, by-the-bye, that it had, like the fire attempted to be kindled in the Camperdown, been kindled below and at both extremes of the vessel, in the cockpit and the carpenter's store-room, or in the fore-peak, where the fire could make head before it could be disco vered ; but nby should it be supposed that what the sentinels and watchmen stationed round the ship, and relieved every two or every four hours, did not discover, would certainly have been disco. voted by two ship-keepers, who, not being expected to keep awake the whole night, would sleep through it from dark till light ? Really our Tory Contem poraries had better look out for some other lever than the want of two ship-keepers on board the Talavera to overthrow the Admiralty. If the Times and the Herald, and the Post, and the Dahlia Evening Mail, and the whole tribe of Tory journals, ale ignorant of the fact, we beg leave to inform them that these ship-keepers were, in the majority of instances, aged and orn cut men, and that the appointment was made, in nine cases out of ten, much more with a view to provide for old servants, and favourites, and worn out labourers, than actually' to take care of the ships. What necessity, too, is there, let us ask their sagacity, to appoint men to take care of build lags which may by possibility be burned ? When a ship is in dock, clean swept out from the keel to the quarter-deck, there is about as little chance of her catching fire as that London-bridge should fall down. True, she may be set on fire, but so may every corn-stack or hay-stack in the king dom ; and it is only necessary to read the pas sages we have quoted from the Times to be satisfied that, as far as human prudence goes, her MAJESTY'S ships and arsenals are infinitely better protected against danger than the combustible produce piled up and exposed in almost every farm-yard in the country. Tu put ship-keepers on board a ship in dock, when every approach to her is carefully guarded, when watc men, sentinels, and police, are all round the yard, is a far greater absurdity, notwithstanding it is patronised by Herald, Times, Post, and Standard, than appointing two men all through the night to watch every hay and corn-stack in the country. Deplorable as is the calamity at Devonport, and doubly deplorable in our situation, from its being, we believe, the work of an incendiary—who has no doubt fired the Talavera, just as the Catuperdown was attempted to be fired, at both ends and Mow, and with similar materials, all found in every dock yard, resin, oakum, birch-brooms and all—it could not have been prevented by half-a-dozen ship- kerpers. There is no guarding against evil d;s posed and wicked men, no barring out the conse quinces of deep bred discontent and thcrotol hatred. With ail the possible precautions which slave-owners, from a dire necessity, continually take, their houses are sometimes burned by their oppressed victims, and they cre massacred. Have those who talk about two ship- keepers preventing incendiarisrr forgotten the conflagrations, which no police caul( prevent, in 1830 ? Does the London police put a stop to burglary and murder ? Unless there be a policeman to every other person, and two to some individuals, and some person also to answer for the policemen, it will be impossible to prevent mischief in a community composed o' great masses of discontented men. Punishment will not root out the discontent ; coercion cannot prevent its con sequences. Instead of more ship-keepers and an extension of a police force, the way to save our ships from conflagration is to make every man feel that he has an interest in everything belonging to the public, and to take a pride in preserving it. In our country, unfortunately, the public wealth the public stores, and public offices of any import- ante belong chiefly to the aristocracy, and the bulk of the people are little better slaves. We say not that political discontents, or class discontents, or professional discontent :s the source of the destruc- tion, bat where they abound, instruments to execute the ?:Llarious designs of enemies may easily be found. Suppose such _discontent would be great amcng the workmen of the Dock-y ar d s — an d the Times and Herald have frequently talked of late about insufficient wages, and the hard treat ment they receive—would it not be possible tha some of them may be excited to perform such cvi deeds ; and, should they be ill-disposed, what ship• keepers or what pike could effectually guard against their designs ? We are not alarmists ; but if the aristocracy think that they can have all the advantages of the sccial union, all its safety, all its honours, and all its emoluments, and that others are to hear all its burdens, while they are denied any share of its blessings, the aristocracy reckon without the democracy, and conflagrations, or some other equally alarming tnischief, will continually in form them that they have much to pay. THE SUN, LONDON, TrESDA Y, OCTOBER 6. 1810. solicited him to postpone the payment into the Ex chequer of the duty the hop-growers had collected from the beer-drinkers through the brewers last year. We could not desire, and could not possibly find a more convincing proof, than in the circular • of the Messrs. BARCLAY, of the statement we made some time ago, namely, that the hop-growers had levied the duty on the public for the last year's crop in the price of the hops, when the hop-growers sold them, and that when they petitioned to postpone the payment they actually asked to have a loan of the public money cut of which they paid their rents. With all these helps, however, with a duty on foreign hops which amounts to the prohibition of importation, with a tax on the people's bread, with every contrivance the landowners can think of, and dare to execute, to plunder the people, the depu tation which waited on the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, drew the most lugubrious picture Of the condition of the hop-growers. " They were going to ruin ; the late low prices of hops had not paid for cultivation. The failure of the crop this year, after the heavy expense of cultivation, had injuted the farmers, and if they were compelled to pay into the Exchequer the money they had levied on the public, they would have no means of employ ing the labourers, and the hop districts would be in an alarming state of distress." Unfortunately we know that to be too true—we know that great alarm exists in the hop districts as to the security of property and person there, through the approaching winter; but what must the public think of such a profitless, ruinous trade, which, with all the help of high pro tecting duties, loans of public money, and taxes on the people's bread—supposed to be for the advan tage of the farmers—cannot keep those who engage in it from poverty, and cannot supply the honest labourer with full employment at ad:quote wages ? • A business which impoverishes the individuals engaged in it is not and cannot be for the national advantage, and it is therefore a miserable fallacy to pretend that the welfare of the country requires that the profitless business of corn-growing should be cultivated by the help of a heavy tax levied on all the people. We see by a Manchester Paper that the tenantry of the Duke of SUTHERLAND have been relieved from the payment of their rents, as poor cottagers are relieved from the payment of Poor-rates. If the Corn-laws wake the landlords rich, they make paupers of the farmers. What other class of men begs for a loan of the public money ? What other c!aes of men begs to be sustained by the compelled alms of the people—taking a penny from the hard-working man, and farthings and halfpence from widows and orphans —even levying contributions on the humblest beggar, who buys his own food with importuned alms ? Like death, the bread-tax cannot be avoided, or only avoided by ceasing to live. For some months past great activity has been displayed by the parish authorities in the district of Clerkenwell, in bringing before the Magistrates numbers of the worst and most heartless of all rob bers, the robbers of the poor; but what astonishes every one who reads the accounts is the very small amount of fine generally inflicted on these egregious culprits. One of them, for instance, the other day, was convicted of using two sets of weights, one of the proper standard for day customers, and another notoriously deficient for those who purchase at night, and he was fined 40s. ! Another was con victed of having a balance for coals so constructed that a purchaser would be robbed of three pounds and a half for every seven pounds weight and up wards. She had, in addition, three light weights in her shed, and for these enormous offences was fined 20s. ! - A -third, a chandler's shopkeeper, was found guilty of having a - false weighing ma chine, caused by a penny-piece being affixed to the scale, and was fined 10s. !! ! This is a mere mockery of justice. Here are persons who have been in the habit, probably for years, of rob bing the poor (the half-starved poor being their only customers), yet a fine is unposed which they may hare cleared by this felonious practice in a few days, and when the inquisitors have quitted the premises they begin the work of plunder anew. Can any man look at the nature of this offence dis-_ passionately, compare it with any other species of . robbery, and deny that, of all others, it is the most flagrant, and ought to be visited with the severest punishment ? To rob the ItoTriscimps, or the BARINGS, of thousands, or tens of thousands,' is a trivial offence, yet it is visited often by transporta tion, and, formerly, if committed in a certain way, was punished with death; yet when the hard-worked art:san, or the labourer out of employment, or the helpless widow with a starving family, and scarcely able to 3crape together means to satisfy the cravings of nature, are robbed of a third of their means of subsistence, the plunderers escape with all but a nominal fine. I; not this one law for the rich and another for the poor ? and if the lower classes had any hand in making our laws, would a crime like this, declared by the highest authority to be an abomination before the ALMIGHTY, have been • marked in the statute-book with a fine only equal to that inflicted for the most venial and accidental moral delinquencies ? In some countries where the people make less noise about the Bible and the Church than here, these plunderers are pilloried or hastinadoed, and we therefore recommend the "tri bunes of the poor " to imitate so good an example, and visit this enormous and increasing crime with something like condign punishment. The news brought by the Overland Mail from China is such as to increase our apprehensions of the dangerous consequences of an inconclusive at tack upon the Celestial Empire. As we stated from the commencement, the eyes of all the Chiefs of Central Asia are now turned to Canton ; and were we either to fail, which is next to impossible, or to make a bungling business of the expedition, which is exceedingly improbable, from the moun tains of the Himalaya to the walls of Herat we should encounter, in every State now in alliance ,with us, an open or a concealed enemy. Our old allies the Dutch, as we learn from the Singapore papers, find employment for their leisure in calum niating us as a nation of faithless sharpers, while the Court of Ava is hardly restrained by the fear of provoking another war, from throwing British sub jects under the feet of elephants. Our protege 'he SHAH SOOJAH-00L-MOOLK does us no cre dit, and indeed is only kept on a throne, which he wants the ability to fill, by British bayonets. Kar rack is but indifferently garrisoned by a force to which the climate of the Persian Gulf is more fatal than the Arabs, who hourly threaten them with destruction. In a word, nothing short of our making an example of the Chinese can preserve our Indian empire from being openly assailed by a host of enemies on all 'sides ; and though we fear not defeat, we have no stomach for a conflict which might cost us the re -conquest of India. The news from Beyrout and Alexandria is ex ceedingly important. It recor d s a step towards the s of the Eastern Question which goes a great oition way towards taking it out of the hands of the Dip lomatists. The clamours of Cabinets are drowned by the roar of cannon. This reflection in the nine teenth century fills us with sadness. We had hoped that France would have come forward to avert his blot upon our civilization --that like an angel of peace, with healing upon her wings, she would have turned aside the implements of strife by as- sliming the mediatorial function so generously al lotted to her by the Four Powers. But now that the first blow has been struck it is imperative upon the Four Powers to follow it up by others, in order to abridge as much as possible the horrors engen dered by a protracted system of warfare. A merciful regard for the sufferings of the peopl e of Syria de mands this—a people whom evidences much stronger than those advanced so prominently to the contrary in certain French Journals, attest to be hostile to a man to the dpminion of MEHEMET ALI over their country. Upon this point we refer with pleasure to the following extract from the Bey rout Correspondence of the Morning Post— a Journal whose hostility to every measure of the British Cabinet is as inveterat e as it is indiscrimi nating. It is dated " Beyrout, the 16th ult.," and is confirmed by others of the 21st : And here allow me to beg earnestly the attention of your readers, and I hope of every newspaper in England that may not possess the information from other :ources, to one fact connected w:th these hostilities. I remem ber well the outcry that was raised against the cc-ape. ration of England in the north of Spain, because it was a war against the people, against the Biscayans, who were fighting for their local privileges. Despite of the result of that contest, those who thought our interfer ence unjustified are probably of the same opinion. Be fore, however, they attempt to draw any analogy be tween the present case and that of Spain, I would pray them to hear this fact in mind. In the whole force that at present holds out in Bey -rout—in that which we drove from Djihail, and yesierday with such destruc tion froni Batroun, there is not a single Syrian, not one inhabitant of this persecuted country. Nor yet are they soldiers in any one honourabl e sense of that wcrd. The r history is this : knowing that he durst not at present move his army through the interior of the country, Ile w him Pacha is well aware cf the importance of the lint of strong fortresses which extend along the coast from Tripoli to Acre. In the whole army he had literally no force upon whom he could depend to hold them. He, therefore, collected in Albania a force of 3,860 of the most lawless brigands—a conscription, Ido believe, of the most sanguinary rufliens upon the face of the earth. He entered into a compact with them. We have the fact from the prisoners taken at Dhijail and Batroun, that, provided they held the fortress coin nutted to them, they should receive two piastres a day, and the unrestricted privilege of plunder and tiolence upon the people and the districts around. Before stating that a man, whose cause is espoused by one of the Powers of Europe—the self-elected mitres; of its civilization too—Lefore stating that he had entered into such a nefarious bargain, I have satisfied myself beyond the possibility of a doubt of the truth of this statement. At all events, let the character of this warfare, so far as it has yet gone, be distinctly understood. Let no mis taken impression of facts lead to a mistaken charge of inhumanity. By the letter from Alexandria we learn that the PA CHA was taking the matter very coolly. The harbour was about to be strictly blockaded ; and as it is contrary to the laws of Egypt to export specie, merchants were expected to experience considerable difficulty in winding up their affairs before quitting the country. The impression in that city on the 21st was that no quarrel would arise between France and England, unless the Four Powers pro ceeded to bombard Alexandria. There is yet time for the merciful mediation of France. We trust M. TRIERS will rise superior to the petty passions by which he has hitherto been swayed upon the Eastern question, and nobly win for himself and for France the glory of having stayed the uplifted arm of war in the Mediterranean. Let him but do this, and his name will go down to posterity with a halo of glory brighter than ever Kings feigned to sec encircle the bloody wreaths worn by conquerors. Blood, tears, and taxes are sad memorials of human ambition in the most bar barous times. How much more so in the nine teenth century of the Christian era ? The French Ministerial Journals of Sunday in vite us to prepare for one or other of two things conseqUent upon the attack of the Allies -on 134- rout—Ariz., war, or the retirement of.AVI,i THitws from the Minietry. The Cono4ofeitit . 4.s, ai're article, exceeding a. column in length, on. the im pression made by the news from the East among all classes in Paris. We are assured that not only the troops of the line, but the whole of the National Guards, the shopkeepers, the merchants, and the classes most interested in the maintenance of peace, burned with impatience to revenge the insult which the capture of Beyrout was supposed to reflect on the prowess of France. The ar ticle concludes with an address to M. THIBus, which sufficiently.makes known the ferment which exists in the councils of the French Cabinet. That it was Written by the Minister himself, we may. not presume to determine, but the following extract from it proves that it derives its exist ence. from'one who enjoys his confidence : " Let us be allowed to addres s ourselves particularly to M. Thiers. We tell him, in the name of the ideas and the men that he represents, en d wt.° elevated him to his present position, it i 3 not p erm i tte d to hi m to fail in the solemn engagements whi c h h e contracte d i n ac cepting the direction of our foreign relations. The party which supported him, composed of moderate and firm twee, would separate from him in case he should, by an act of weakness, abandon the interests and the honour of France. He was not precisely the representative of liberal ideas, and consequently had not this title to support from the Opposition. But -of all those who hare been raised to power, M. Thiers was the most energetic representative of the revolution in the eyes of Foreien Powers. He is the representative of nationality. The day that he loses this charac ter his political worth will be compromised. " Let M. 'riders then decide ; he owza it to France, to the party which he represents, he owes it to him self. If he is not free to act he ought not to retain an office the duties of which he was cot allowed to fulfil.. In this ease he has only to follow his own exemple— a painful resolution we admit. It might be easy to comprehend the honourable scruples which might shake such a determination- It would be painful for a Minister devoted to royalty to separate from it at such a serious m crisis as the present ; but, however painful this duty be, we sincerely believe that the Minister ought to accomplish it. permitted to him to no doubt se would not leavema ' i ß t aayifiui retiringaffairs the a l io a n b o e c u c r r a i t u i of t F p w r o tt a s n g i i n e o o n t l . e B w , o l t o h i l t , he less the case, it would be even more so, if he - re• rnained in power to make France submit to a great disgrace. The dangers of disgrace are more threaten. ing for Governments than the perils of war." This is a feeler, and was known to be one at TORTONI'S, where the funds suddenly fell from 67f. 50e. to 67f. It was, however, ascertained that were M. THtEres to retire from office, the alleged ground would be the refusal of his colleagues to place M. ° DILLON B ARROT in the Presidenti a chair of th e Ch am b er o f D e puties. This, of course is designed as a sop for the Liberal party-- for th e men upon whose shoulder 3 M. TRIERS was triumph ant l y b orne i nto otrice., aid whom, on getting th ere , h e twice shamefully deserted ; firstly, by advocating the September laws, and, secondly, by sanctioning, in the absence of the Chambers, the fortification of Paris. It was at first supposed tl►at the hostility o France would be exclusively directed against Eng. land. This, the private letters from Paris of Sun• day's date, assure us is not the case. The KING, who is still eager f or peace, h as prevailed upon M TRIERS to rema i n neutral so long as the opera. lions of the Allies power in Syria are liniitcd to the k ind of warfare 1 , -Tainst MEH EMET ALI'S • directed against the Carlists i n Spain by the French and En g li s h aux ili ary f or ces on the Canta brian coast. The occupation of Be y rout and Acre by the Allies is to be consid ered not more hostile to Fran ce t h an t h e occupa tion of Passagesand St. Sebastia n by t h e E ng li s h an d French were to Austria, Russia, and Prussia. The casus belli is to commence with the first move ment of a Rus- sian force towards Asia Minot, when France will deciare war against Russia alone, leaving the other Powers t•) adopt the quarrel of their Ally, or reject it, as it may seem most agreeable to them. So, at least, say the private advises from the French capital. The Journa! des Debais, the accredhed eron of the Court, is as mild and as philosophical in its re marks on the news from Syria as the Ministerial and Republican Journals are furious. It contends that all that has yet happened was foreseen—that the attack on Beyrout is only the fulfilment of a treaty which the French Cabinet had pro nounced no justification of war, although a rational ground for preparations for one. It rebukes the Ministerial and Opposition Journals for their ridi culous exhibitions of wordy rage, and their expres sions of sarprise at events which it would be dis graceful for the Ministry not to have foreseen a"d provided against. This article sufficiently explains the views crteitained by the highest personage in France, whose pacific policy is supported by three Mt•mbers of the Cabinet. We begin, therefore, to c,;nclude that the retirement of M. Tn iExs is exceedin,ly probable. This is what we suggested two mouths ago, and well would it have been for the reputation of the PREMIER had he then sJught in private life a solace for his disappoint ment in not being able to reduce the policy of nations to a game at shuttlecock. In the event of a change in the French Cabinet, Marshal SOULT, M. GUIZOT, M. VILLEMAIN, M. PASST, M. TESTE, and M. DUFAURE, are spoken of as the new Ministers. The consequences of Stich a change in the Ministry are obvious. Marshal SoULT would revert to his old Oriental policy—th e policy of the Four Powers—and thus France would find herself, in the course of a week, one of the Allies, and again on the best terms with England. The following extracts include what other news we find in Sunday's Journals : . - Waa PaEPARATIONS IN ITALY.--Tke Semaphore publishes advices from Italy of the 26th ult., an nouncing that order lied been restored in that coun try, arid that the patriotic party had wisely determined to wait the issue of the Eastern question, and not com promise the success of their cause by en untimely rising. The movements of the Austrian troops in Upper Italy were incessant. The works of defence were carried on ivith the utmost activity at Ancona and CivittaVecchia, unit a magazine of 20,000 sacks of corn was to be es tablished at Porto Ferrol°. WAR FEARS IN PRUSSIA.—The Suabian Mercury publishes a letter dated Berlin, 24th ult., which states that the fear el a general war has become stronger for the last few days. The fall in the public funds has been caused, Ist. Because the Army of Reserve has not been disbanded ; 2d, on account of the Landwehr being about to be mobilized. Swiss COMMERCIAL TREATY.—The Helvetic of the 2d instant announces that the Vorort concluded on the 21st ult. a Treaty of Commerce, in the name of the Swiss Confederation ; with the kingdom of the Low Countries, and had communicated it to the respective States for their approbation. Tile la,t accounts from Vienna are of the 26th of September. The result of the first operations in S ) ria was impatiently expected, because it was known that orders had been sent to the Commander of the Aus. trian squadron to concur with the English Admiral in the execution of the treaty. The Funds were rather on the decline. The Go vernment no longer concealed its armaments. Not only it has not disbanded the first battalion of the Landwehr, as some German journals have announced, but on the contrary, it has just called out a great part of the soldiers of the two battalions of the reserve, to complete the first battalion. A great number of ammunition waggons have been sent to Dalmatia, Istria, and the littorale of Trieste, with orders for the for tresses to be in readiness to rep-lany attack. It is impossible, says the Gazette des Tribunaux, to form an idea of the uneasinsss and confusion which are caused in the banlien of Paris by the preliminary operations for the works to be erected for the defence of the capital. Some rich landowners, certain of being an,ply magnified, will not greatly complain ; but the farmers, the tenants who are going to be turned out just at the moment of the harvest, and who, at so short a notice, will find themselves with their families without a home, without work, and for the most part at a loss how to employ the sums allotted to them as an indenthity, complain with good reason. Yesterday a deputation of • the principal inhabitants of several communes on the right bank, among whom were most of the members of the municipal councils, waited on the Prefect of the Seine to .make remonstrances, which, however, were not 'Successful. It is announced that all the works on the rightbank will be'simultaneously couriUtenced'on Thera •clay, when the workmen will occupy all the'firound, the valuation of which is to take place on Monday.—Le Commerce.

The following osicial news from Spain is from the Moniteur of Sunday : THE AMBASSADOR OF FRANCE TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE COUNCIL. " BAYONNE, Oct. 3, half-past 9, A.M. " MADRID, S e pt. 29. " Eivartcro aTide to-day his grand entree into Ma drid in the midst of an immense concourse, in a carriage drawn by six horses. " He was received in his progress with numerous vivals. The provincial deputation and the municipality received Lim at the mansion where the Junta holds its s cts l' on , The town is illuminated." Upon the above intelligence the Morning He rald gravely remarks—" The Pacificator (ESPAR• TERo) has been received with full honours, and assumed at once the privilege of Royalty by putting six horses to his Carriage." This, Granny, is a mistake, and were it not for its malignity might be passed over, considering the quarter whence it pro-. ceeds. But it so happens that the etiquette of the Spanish Court, from time immemorial, proscribes horses altogether; and that the privilege of Royalty is to be drawn by eight mules, which on State oc casions are to be of a create colour. In entering Madrid with six horses attached to his carriage, EsPARTEno no more invaded the privileges of Royalty, than if he had made his appearance in a k 1 agg on drawn by a pair of bullocks. The sentence of the Court of Peers on Prince Louis NAPOLEON, though not pronounced, was known in Paris on Sunday. It found the Prince , uilry, and doomed him to confinement for life, in a fortress at the option of the KING. Several of the Peers were for condemning the Prince to death, - hat the KING. might have an opportunity of dis playing his clemency by a mitigation of the sentence, hut the old'officers of the empire were not unmind ful of their origin, and made a noble stand against the creatures of the Court. So far as regards the Prince, the sentence does not appear to us deserv ing of the shadow of censure. But before corn lienting upon it, we shall await its judicial enun- C;ZLIUU.
