LONDON, THURSDAY, JUNE 12.

Tunas same no longer to remain a doubt, that
the entire ct the heatbsa.sevegery of South Africa
have struck a league against the 'intrusion, the civi-
lisation, and the illthiellsoo of the population that is
European by &sent. There can be no doubt of the '
enmity of the great chief, Kam, nor of the Tam.
koalas. The barbarian league is general, and the
governor is not more than enabled to keep head
against it by the arrival of reinforcements from all
iguartere, from Singapore and St. Helena, in short,
• fowl every port or colony where he could clutch a
moldier.

In this emergency, amidst these efforts, which
oat thousands per day, it is painful to hear that the
, colonists, on whose behalf these sacrifices are made,
" regard our cause with an apathy, little short of die-
. affection; that the foreign, that is, the Dutch part
• of the population, are ready "for a general defec-
* lion," in other words, that they are inclined to join
the Kaffirs against tho English; and that the
English of Cape Town are ready to applaud them.
. Although dinned in the Timm, we cannot give
credit to so scandalous an aspersion upon the popu-
lation of the Caps. Many, no doubt, have been the
• fault., and still are the abuses and mistakes of our
colonial government. There has been nothing, how.
• ever, that could warrant such sentiments and such
' conduct as this. The attempt to force the reception
of even reformed convicts on the population of the
• Cape was unwise; but after all it was abandoned.
The efforts to endow the Cape with a constitutional
and representative government were sincere, both on
the part of the home and colonial government ; and
if Sir HENRY 6111711 had been unwise in some of his
provisions, his opponents in the colony have been
actuated by a thirst of party inveteracy, which may
be accounted for, but which certainly ought not to
be encouraged.
The documents which complete the history of the
efibrts to establish a constitution at the Cape are now
complete and before the public. It cannot be said
that the draft of • constitution sent from this country,
and drawn up by the committee of the Privy Council,
erns illiberal; neither was it an illiberal proviso that
it should be discussed in the Legislative Council of the
colony, public opinion and public petitioning in the
colony being brought to bear on it. This order, un-
fortunately, arrived at a time when the government

incomplete. And how to complete the number in

road boards and municipalities throughout the colony,
the ratepayers in fact, to name the personages they
would prefer. The returns were made, and the
• secretory of the government recommended that the
five names which had must voteashould be nominated.
The governor and the other officials objected. Of
the elected members but one belonged from residence
and property to the eastern district, whilst ho wee
elected by the western, and was quite opposed to the
sentiments of the people of the eastern district.

Town public objected to this, they still took their
seatamid commenced the discussion of the articles of
the constitution. Of course both sides differed on
the subject of qualification for members and a variety
.;tif other subjects. There was, however, ample and
useful discussion; and no doubt that the opinions
of the four members, conveyed to London, and
known to represent the opin ions of the eastern districts,
' would have had its weight, even though overruled by
la majority of the council The four members, how-
ever, seeing they were in a minority, dete'rniiued to
' withdraw, and thereby incapacitate the government
From proceeding with the discussion of the constitu-
tion. Instead of seeking to enter into a discussion at
•all, the opposition members drew up a constitution of
their own, and were afterwards deputed to London
to press it upon Lord GRKT.
• In the debate's, unfortunately too few, of the
Legislative Council, although much was said of aria-
tocracy and democracy, the true rivalry lay between
this western and the macro districts, between Cape
Town and Graham's Town, the former being the
old capital, proud of its recent triumph over
; the English government, and joined in the
pride of its triumph by the )hitch party, which
had not forgiven the English government either the
abolition of slavery or the diminution of its local
authority. Graham's Town, on the other hand, full
of officials, its population in dread of the Kailirs, and
looking to the army and the Governor for protec-
tion, overflowed with loyalty and conservatism. So
to frame the constitution as to get not only a repre-
sentative assembly but a kgislativo council, in both
of which the eastern districts should form a decided
minority, was the aim of Sir ANDREAS STOCKEN.
STROM and Mr. FAIRIAIRN. To enable the govern-
ment to withstand the hostility of the Cape people
and the Dutch by moans of the eastern settlers, was
the aim et the Governor.
In the
_plea so blindly and precipitately adopted
the mulor for amideting the Legislative
Comal. all the tax-payiag districts were to return
the amen d their chaise. and those men chosen
by most districts were to be elected. This threw
the whole of the choice into the hands of the western
districts. and left no legislative councillors to rept-
. sent the lead interests at any remote province. The
Governor received his mistake, and refused to per whist, it in the ecustitutiun. But Mr. Rummies
.party tooe it up, and recommended it, naturally, as
the very perfection of a plan fur the election of a
legislative council.
-From this slight sketch it will be seen how much
of party spirit and how little fairness "or calmness
• there is on either side. For Lord GREY to have at-
:tiered the proposal of the delegates would have
lean to give the party in opposition so flagrant a
.bininpla over the entire official body and party in the
colony, that the Governor and everyfunctionary mast
have resigned ; and that, atthe same time, the popu-
lation of the eastern districts would have been highly
aggrieved aad indisposed. To reject all their de-
mands definitively would, on the other bands have
exasperated the Cape Town people. We cannot,
therefore, see what was left for Lard GaET, save to
suspend the consideration of the constitution question,
and allow the Governor to direct his =distracted
attention to crushing the spirit of hostility
the Kaffirs. It is said that Mr. FAIRBIIIt=
brother delegates offered on the part of Caps
Town to undertake the conduct of the war and the
pacification of the tribe.. The entire population of
Cape Town is about 30,000 earls. The entire
European population is not double that number.
'fake the property and the force, that is, the male
adult population, and we doubt its ability to cope
with the overwhelming numbers of wild, armed, end
agile savages that now threaten the colony. Tho
men and the population of the Cape or of its western
districts, who are now playing the parts of O'Cox-
Watt and the Irish, or of PAPINFAU and the Cana-
dians, have not the numbers, physical force, or moral
weight for the part they have undertaken.
They are a mere handful of men, scat- I
tend over a barren territory, which is not, and
never can be densely peopled. That it was wrong
to allow such a population to spread, and grant so I.
indefensible and wide a frontier to barbarians, is now
too late to say. But as things are, we do not think
the European population able to maintain its ground I
against the other races, without constant keen
support from Europe. People in this Nadi-
tido are not like the Canadians; nor have
they any right to dictate terms to the mother
country. The parliament and the govenesent ,

The lord of the chief pets[ the soil might not be
the fittest judge of who amid sit at Westminster on

identified in many ways with the real or supposed
interests of the locality, and to say, the truth, the lot
for counties seldom fell on a stranger or one not born
in the particular portion of the land ho was desig-
nated to represent. The old anti-reform bill system
was certainly a good one; but in justice it must
be admitted that it was not a private plot hatched in
town and worked by secret telegraph throughout
the country. It was a blunt, jolly, out-spoken fraud,
that cantered along in top-boots, and only
laughed when reasonable people complained of
the violence done to their fences and feelings
—swearing sincerely and being half-believed
when it swore that after all it meant no serious
harm. Men grumbled and grudged, and got angry
at last and knocked the old system off its horse, and
so made an end of it. But Mr. POSEY thinks, and
we agree with him, that whatever may be the faults
and short-comings of our present mode of cheering
and of returning members (and more especially want,
members) to parliament, the worst of all conceivable
systems would be that which he openly charges Mr.
DISRAELI with seckingfurtively to introduce, whereby
a nameless clique sitting in Pall Mall, would prac-
tically appoint who should be and who should cease
to be the representatives of English counties.
Mr. DISRAELI loves to talk and write of the polity
of Oreat Britain by the
.equivocal epithet of ' our
Venetian constitution :" intimating thereby his axed
belief that all real power is vested in a •
self-appointed few, who practically govern the
mechanism of the state, chiefly by keeping up an
outward show of popular forms which in reality are
little more than a political phantasmagoria worked
by hidden wires from behind. Of these, parliamen-
tary representation is one of the most remarkable.
Far from believing in it as a reality, Mr. DISRAELI
has from first to last ostentatiously treated
even its conventionalities as tricks. First he
tried to do one of these, and failing, with
perfect sang fr aid attempted another with better suc-
cess. To getinto the House of Commons, ho was
ready to play radical airs in any key, however high
or loud. Not succeeding in that, he took to just the
opposite line, and tried what he could do in a thorough
base part in the solemn swell of PEEL. There he

Rather sarcastic this equivoque on the word straight,
considering the many crooked turns the member for
Bucks has lately taken in his impatience to become
a " right honourable" and a minister of state. We
were always under the impression that the benevo-
lent representative of Berk', was a very churn of the

All this is matter for local reflection principally.
Bet the odious nature oY the new attempt to dictate
and domineer at elections by an unknown and irre-
sponsible cabal, sitting in the metropolis, is matter
for more general reflection. It must be carefully
watched, and unsparingly exposed, wherever it
shows itself. It is & conspiracy against the most
elementary rights of 'free election—au unlawful
combination which cannot bear exposure to the

naseldod power to aret wrait it hereditarily.
It is impossible to deny to this motion of M. Cretan
the merit of great distinctness and apparent feirsea '
But it is essentially unpopular, for the simple ream
that it aims at making an Assembly absolute Mew
see of the destinies of the country. It is out of dee
question to suppose that the French people will ever
submit to the dictates of a convention. The imps.
polarity of the legislative bodies since 1818 hie
arisen entirely from the violent and arbitrary
which it has made of its sovereign power. lieaa
it is vain to think that a kind of election whicheerat
fitter to be entrusted to universal suffrage than any
other, the choice namely of a president or of a mo-
narch, will be ever committed to an Assembly.
Equally improbable is it that the new constituent
will be allowed to decide the question of monare
or the republic. The French fear too math
mei too justly the juggling and intrigue'
vi sway the decisions of an Assembly to commit
1111 the MEWS of an election d deux degres so vital
the form of government. M. Cretan
se
with MM. Thiess, Base, de Mornay, Placa-
tory, de Remusat, Chambolle, one of the foremost of
that clique whose aim is to starve and wither the
executive power, and to invest the sovereign Assem-
bly with its functions, with a view to the restoration
of monarchy of July. The most dangerous lettere
about this party is that they are abetted by the Left
in the means by which they propose to arrive at their
end. The Left, or at least a great portion of that
side of the chamber, would equally desire the Assem-
bly to become, by an absorption of the executive
power, a convention, because they wish also to change
the fundamental form ofgovernment by abolishing the
presidency altogether. But to suppose they would
ever delegate full sovereignty to a body chosen un-
der the law of May is out of all question. Now IL
Creton and his compeers are the most uncompromis-
ing sticklers for the law of May, for the excellent
reason that all parties have loot by it but the Or-
leanist. Hence the irreconcilcable difference between
M. Creton's party and the Left. The legitimists are
equally decided against deferring to en Assembly the
choice of a monarch ; because it is a forfeiture of
their principle. The ultra-legitimists would appeal
to the nation at large by universal suffrage, but they
would never allow a convention nominated by the
law of May to decide upon the fate of Henry V.
Lastly the Bonapartists, whose principle is a perpe-
tual appeal to the country at large from the factious
aggression of the Assembly on the President,
may be readily supposed to entertain aversion
for a plan which proposes to defer the appoint-
ment of the President to the Assembly. Hence
the motion of M. Creton for revision is likely to find
favour with no party but the pure Orleanista. But
the general ground of objection to it must be that it
aggravates immensely the crisis of 1832, by making
the double elections of May of much vaster moment
than they would be by doing nothing at all. In tho
meantime, it aims at the exclusion of Louis Napo-
leon by deferring the revision until the termination
of his power, and consequently retaining the legal
disqualification involved in Art. 45.
M. Creton is chiefly known for a motion which he
is in the habit of bringing forward every six months
for abrogating the laws of banishment against the
Bourbons of both branches. The object of this mo-
tion being to start the Prince de Joinville as a can-
didate for the presidency, the legitimists, who are
still more averse to Orleantem than to the cause of
Louis Napoleon, have always figured as the most
determined opponents of M. Creton's proposition,
which has been favoured on the other hand by the
Mountain, with the hopes of aggravating the divi-
sions of the anti-republican parties.
In the trial of M. Form& has been produced a
themmeat which he received from the Prefect of
Paw, which makes great noise, and may lead to
the dismissal of that functionary. The document is
a report by M. Carlier to the President of the Re-
public, concerning the manoeuvres of Gen. Hautpoul
and the Society of the Dix-Decembre against Gen.
arampsuifer. Nothing but the rank malice of Ge-
moral Charigamier could dictate the production and
publication of this old report, merely with the view
of breeding ill-blood and sowing dissension between
the President and high functionaries, and of aggro-
vatting the weakness of the government and embar-
rassment of the situation.

To-day took place the trial of the Erfinement for
an article on the execution of the assassin Monchar-
mont. The court was crowed to excess by persons
anxious to hear the promised speech of Victor Hugo,
who pleaded for his son Charles, writer of the ar-
ticle. The ge,rant, M. Erdan was acquitted; M.
Charles Hugo was condemned to six months of im-
prisonment and SOOfr. fine. Thus one comniendable
feature of the law on the press has been M relieve
that scope-goat the ye'rant, and to throw the.punish-
ment upon the signer of the article.
The committee on the Avignon Railway has re-
jected, by a majority of 8 against 5, the proposition
of MM. Rance and Laborde.
The bureaux met to-day to appoint a committee
for examining the government's bill for prolonging
the law on the suppression of clubs. The debates
were animated. Only four members of the com-
mittee chosen are stgainst the bill.
The only modification made yesterday in th 3
Sugar Bill was the adoption of 6 fr. instead of 3 fr.
as the reduction of duty during the next four years
in favour of colonial dut .
The Assembly pro to-day to adopt, without
any debate of interest, or any modification of im-
portance, several artistes of tho Bugnr Bill, which
was expected to be detinitivelypaased before the end
of the sitting.
M. de Palk, a Danish officer, who greatly distin-
guished himself in the late war in Holstein, was yes-
terday received by the President of the Republic,
who presented him with the decoration of the Legion
of Honour.

The Preue states that M. Roily, the democratic
candidate, has been elected, by an immense majority,
member of the Council-General of the Loir-et-Cher,

in the non of M. Germain-Sarrut, recently con-
demned to imprisonment for the Tart he took in the
affair of the So idarite Ri,pubicoose.
A very significant incident lately occurred at
Roanne, after the partial elections of the tribunal of
commerce of that place. When the newly elected
judges, who were well known for their violent dema-
gogical opinions, presented themselves to take their
seats with the rest of their colleagues, the latter de-
cimal dm they would not act with them, and
monstely withdrew.
M. Gent, brother of the ex-representative of Van-

concerned in the conspiracy at Lyons.
The funds were steady. The Fives rose 35c.,

PORTUGAL.
By the Triton, arrived at Portsmouth, we have a
letter from our Lisbon correspondent, dated Juno 6,
which informs us that Oporto was quiet, and con-
sidered secure from attempts at reaction. The
Mignelite peers (the decree in whose favour has
already been published in the Express), as will be
seen by the following, have refused to accept the
boon offered them :

The undersigned having seen in the Diario do Govern°,
No. 123, the decree of the 23rd instant, which annuls the
decree of the 28th of May, 1834, by which those peers were
expelled from the Chamber of Peers who took part in the
manifestation made by the nobility of Portugal before
the meeting of the Three Estates in the year 1828,
which disposition was afterwards extended to their
emieemors, and the said persons who signed, consider-
ing what they owe to their preceding acts, to their honour
and per onal dignity, even lately offended by the tenor of
the said decree of the 23rd instant ; and besides, the sue •
mews of those whom they represent, neither failing in the
respect which it is their duty to show to the memory of
their deceased fathers and ancestors, nor desiring to stigma-
tise the spontaneous acts done by them; declare that they
consider it a most rigorous duty not to accept the conditions
referred to in the decree of May 23.—Lisbon, May 30,1851.

The Duke of Terceira has been offered the appointment
of ambassador to St. Petersburg, but it is probable he will
go to Paris instead. The Viscount Sada Bandeirs has
been offered the embassy to London, but hes not RA yet sig-
nified that he would accept it. The Viscount do Aseaga,
brother of the Duke of Suldanha, is gone to Madrid as am-
bassador.

The government has to receive about 300 contos of de-
cimas already due, and has received proposals for a loan of
300 contos, in which will enter some receipts of employes.
The 7th company of the municipal guard is to be imme-
diately dissolved.
When the different: movements shall have taken place,
Lisbon will have the Ist, 2nd, and 6th infantry, Queen's
grenadiers, lancers, and some other cavalry of the regene-
rating denomination, and the municipal guard, 2nd Coca-
dores, and 10th infantry, decided Cabralistas with the 10th,
which would act with them, and the artillery which has
not shown to which party it has decided to attach itself,
while the national battalions, or militia, as they arc more
properly called, may turn some to one side and some to the
other, and thereby make the confusion greater, which ren-
ders it necessary the duke should look to the organisation
of this force before it be too late. Ile apparently wishes to
reconcile Don Carlos by having offered- him a regiment,
which the latter has refused.

The Duke de Saldanha has dissolved the staff of the rege-
nerating army, and of its first division, the officers return-
ing to their former posts; while dissatisfaction has been
shown at the supposed increase of expense caused by the
extensive promotions-he has made ; but not more than six
persons of those who have had a step of rank given them
are to receive the pay attached to the rank; theiefore the
additional expense is trifling. A thorn also begins to pierce
him by the people commencing a sort of clamour for the
dismissal of all influential Cabralistas. The second com-
mandant, three captains, and two ensigns have been re-
moved from the municipal guard of Lisboa, and two ser-
geants discharged. There were rather notorious in their
way. The nation]. battalion of Midoens which had been
commanded by the notorious assassin Marsal, is dissolved.
The majority of this corps were prototypes of their com-
mandant.
