We have receives our despatches, with the litter of
our correspondent, by the Overload Meil, from India.
The dates are : Bombay, July 25 ; Calcutta, July 14.
Oar cxrespondent writes as follows:
BOMBAY, Jura 25
In my last (under date tad inst.), I alluded to the
rumour of inteneed hrstilities against the Maharajah
of Cashmere, which at the time was almost univer-
sally looked on as probable, on the setting in of the
cold seas tit. This has since been contradicted in
semi-offictial style by the Delhi Gazette, which journal
explains the military preparations made at Peshawar,
Lahore, and Waxecrabad, in the formation of move-
able brigades ready for a move at a moment's notice,
as having been made consequent on an appeal having
reached oar government from the Cashmere ruler for
aid in keeping the rebelliously-dispceed portion of his
subjects in awe during the period his regular
force may be engaged in different parts of his terri-
tories colltc;ng the revenue. He further sates that
no demand was ever made by us on the Cashmere
chief to give on his guns, and that the relations be-
twixt our govrrnment and him were never moreeatis-
tory than they are at the present time. 'We hops it
may be so, and that it may long so remain ; bat we have
our doubts as to whe.her the the Delhi has not been
made the medium of " throwing dust in the eyes of the
public," or ta' her of endeavouring to do so. It is a well-
known fact that thousands and thousands of the Sikh
soldiers, disarmed at Rural Pindee by Gilbert's force
in March lest, have already sought refuge in the demi-
nion of the JAMO3 chief, and that others are
daily following their example. Now, it stands to
reason they could not do this without the permission
of the Maharajah. Well, then, next comes the ques-
tion—why should he wish to congregate these lawless
ruffians around him? The answer is simple—either
he fears we intend taking his country from him, and
ie pryparirg to resist, or he intends taking the initia-
tive in hostilities. The former is the most probable
of the two, as we have now at the head of the amyl
the very individual who first made it knows to the
Sikhs that they were to be coerced. The interval it
this ease between the entertainment of the suspicion
that he is to be attacked, and his assumption of the ini-
tiative in hostilities towards us, will not be a long am.
If he did wish for their presence in his country,
what more easy than for him to request us to
prevent their entering it—a thing much more easy
of accomplishment than that of ejecting them from it
will prove when once they get there ? But it is un-
less speculating further on the subject; a few months
at the most will reveal the matter in its true light to
the world. It is said that the governor-general pro-
ceeds about the end of September to Peshawar ; Sir
Charles Napier to Lahore shortly. Leave to officers
with regiments in the Punjaub has been directed to
be refused, unless in cases of sickness, or the most
urgent affairs admitting of no delay; with every ap-
plication for leave is to be submitted to the com-
mander-in-chief, either publicly or by confidential
communication, by the officer commanding the corps
to which the applicant belongs, the canoe assigned
for asking it, and it is even expected that those
officers belonging to the Bombay face at Peshawar,
who have just returned to their staff appointments at
the presidency and in Scinde, will be ordered to
rejoin their corps with all possible expedition at the
public expense. Do not them things go far to prove
that something is on the tapis in the Punjanb ? Sir
C. Napier remarks that no regiment can be said to
have too many officers; indeed, that most of them
hare too few, and that it is their duty to remain with
their non-commissioned offioers and soldiers. Theis
remarks were addressed to the Qom 's regiments
and if applicable to them, they mast be so in at
least a three-fold degree to tie native corps.
The trial of the ex-dewan Moolrsj, of Mooltan,
for the murder of Mr. Agnew and Lieutenant
Anderson in April last has been concluded. He
has been &and guilty of all the counts of the
charge, and sentenced to be hung. This, however,
has been commuted into imprisonment for life in the
fortress of CLunar ; from which said fortress the
Mahariewe (queen-mother) of Lahore some short
time book effected her maps. The culprit heard his

sentence pronounced on the 22nd June unmoved;
but on being taken back to his prison he appears to
have krealy felt the position in which he was placed.
He refused all food for three days, when he was in-
I dosed to arouse himself and draw up a petition to the
for-general, which was forwarded slorg pith
teurde of his trial. His defence was ably eon-
thsetedley Out. Hamilton, whose address to the court
ea behalfof his client would do honour to •barrive• of
a quarter of a century's practice in any court in Eng-
land. Ihe trial was conducted in the most men and
honourable manner by our government, who gave the
prisocer every opportunity of proving his innocence,
and placed at his disposal as an advocate the eerr:c
of Captain Hamilton, who certainly fulfeled his tack,
unsuccessful as it proved, in a masterly manner.
Some there are who express surprise that a verdict
of guilty should have been come to be the court on
the evidence produced by the pros cation moat,
however, the decision appears the only one
which could have been come to. In my
last I mentioned the formation of moveable
brigades at Peshawar and Wuz.2erabad. Sic ce then
one or two others have been organised. They are all
to keep up their baggage, cattle, &c. &c., and be
ready for a s'art at any moment they may be called
on. Lieutenant Waddilovc, of her l'elejesty's 53rd
Foot, died at Rawnl Pindee stout the first week is
June. The sickness amongst the European troops at
Peshawar has almost entireir disappeored, as also at
Wuzeerabad. Not an at Lahore, lam sorry to say,
where, on an averege, two Europeans were drily car-
ried to their last resting-place. This deplorable state
of matters was supposed to be consequent on the
inadequacy of the accommodation provided for
the soldit is both in the town and camp of
Anerkully outelde the city. A committee of
medical men, with the superintendiog surgeon
at its head, had been assembled to enquire
into the probable causes of the mortality, and to sug-
gest measures for their removal. It is carious, that
at none of the stations in the Punjaub are the native
troops more unhealthy than they are in India at this
season of the year. The heat throughout the country
was fearful compared to what the men had been ao-
customed to in Bengal, the thermometer frequently
ising as high as 105 deg. to 110 deg. in the b::rraeks,
which would, as a matter of course, have its effect on
then. Brigadier Sir Henry Dundee had himself been
ailing, teethed fall recovered again. Brigadier Godby,
who commended at Lahore, is on the point of re-
turning to England on sick leave; he has gone to
C Acute, where ho remains for some months previous
to embarking for Europe. The 63rd foot are to be
removed from Rawul Pindee—l presume, in conse-
quence of their unhealthiness ; bat this has not been
leaded, nor has it been alleged that they have been
particularly unhealthy, though they hid lost one
officer and a few men. The organisation of four out
of the five cavalry and five infantry local corps at
Lahore and other places has probably by this time
teen completed, as on the 18th Jane we are told the
numbers enlisted for each were as under : Ist cavalry,
109 ri en • 2nd, 459; 3rd, 614 ; 4th, 376; sth, just
commenced recrulting ; Ist infantry, 416; 2nd, 558 ;
3rd, 292 ; 4th, 400; sth, just commenced recruiting.
It will be remembered that none are to be ul-
na:Mel to these corps but Sikhs of the old army
who never opposed us in the field ; would it not
have been as well to have given those a chance of
earning an honest livelihood who had met us in
battle—nay, would it rot have been better to have
done so than let them prowl about without em ploye
meet, ready. to tarn their bands to any in", isf
which fell in their way ? They would, perhape,l
have been glad of employment, but they should most
assuredly not have been allowed to remain in the
Panjaub—they might have been sent into India,
where they would probably have made excellent sol-
diers when away from home, and beyond the influ-
ence of those asecciatioce, ever' uppermost in the
breasts of man, of whatever nation, who have the
smallest pretensions to the name of patriots. Con-
siderable sickness seems to have prevailed at Mc 'Den
of late, where the lady of Captain Hogg, of the
Bombay Faeiliers; Second Lieutenant W. H. An-
derson, of the Artillery ; and Captain W. G. C.
Hughes, of the 4th Native Rifles, died within a fnrt-
night—the two former on the 22nd June, and the
latter on the Ist Jnly. The fortress has been com-
pletely repaired, and put inters state of defence, under
the superintendence of Major Scott, of the Bombay
engineers. Not above a fourth part of the inhabit-
ants had returned to the too-a—but a large number
of the merchants and trailers are said to he willing to
resume their occupations if assured that no ransom-
money will be levied on them for their houses • in-
deed many had already returned, but it is thought a
long time must elapse before the town of Moolten
will present the bustling appearance it did in the be-
ginning of last year, under the unfortunate ruler row
a condemned felon, in prison at Lahore. The Prize
Committee are said still to be busy seeking for trea-
sure amongst the rains of the city. Nothing has yet
been heard of prize-money or donation batta for its
captors.
Our latest news from the north-west again reverts
to the intended entry of our troops into Cashmere, for
the purpose of defending the ruler in his dominion",
as before stated. Very well, it may be so ; but did
we ever get our finger into the (lilies of any na-
tive prince's dominions, and not ultimately relieve
him of the cares of sovereignty: and it will be
strange if such prove not the case in Cashmere
also. Sir H. Lawrence was, when last heard
from, on his way back to Lahore from Simla, whither
Sir C. Napier was expected shortly to follow. In the
Jallundhur Doab, I am happy to say,. but little Bick-
ers= prevails. The force mumbled in cantonment'
at Deensouggin has been dispersed to other stations
in the Doab—the 4th company 6th battalion artillery
end 71st N. I. to Bodes Pind, the 34th N. I. to Ha-
*pare, and the 2nd irregular cavalry to Hoeheear-
pert. A small guard over the treasury was to br left
under Mr. Fano, one of the political'. Lieut. Her-
bert, assistant-commissiocer, had gone to Simla on
sick leave. The officers and men had all housed
themselves snugly for the monsoon, when thus or-
dered to other places, which had naturally caused a
geed deal of dissatisfaction. A paper received this
day announces the death at Wozeerabad (near La-
hore), on the 10th July, of Quartermaster J. Prim,
H.M. 24th Foot, of apoplexy.
Scinde now-a-days scarcely gives evidence of an
existence in the world at all, everything seems to be
carried on so smoothly under the rule of the present
commissioner and commander of the forces. This
latter berth is in future to be held alternately by
Queen's and Company's officers, while the brigade
commands at Kurrachee, Hyderabad, and Sakkur are
invariably to be bestowed on Indian army officer,. In
this case, the gallant old Colonel Douglas, of the 78th
H'ghlanders, will shortly retire from the latter. The
Jam of the Jokeshs, who had been imprisoned early
in June, for some alleged crime (breach of the Bth
commandment, most likely) to prove which no one
could be got to come forward, has at length been re-
leased. He certainly should not have been detained
ay:ismer, if no charge could be made out against
hiss; bat to say that ho is innocent, because no
sae comes forwardlo convict him, is rather too much
k Inns, where all natives try to screen one another
eves when known to be guilty of the most atrocious
of mimes against the " Coompanie Bahadoor." The
only death amongst the higher classes in Scinde I
have heard of is that of Mr. Barker, a master in the
Indus Flotilla. A t umber of men of the Bth Foot
have, however, been struck down by coup do solsil et
Hyderabad—owing, most probably, to the careless-
ness and thoughtlessness of the poor fellows them-
selves. A report prevails that the head quarter wine
22nd Foot, now at Bombay, proceeds in the end 1
August to Kurrachee, where it will be joined by the
left wing, and the corps then marched up the Indus
to Sutter. Theses they ascend the river in boats
and steamers to Ferozepore, and become portion of the
Bengal army, the commander-in-chief of which is
their colonel. Should this be true, coming events cut
their shadows before them.
The Bengal and Benzes papers received this morn-
ing mention that the Hoe. Mr. Thomason, Lieutenant-
Governor N. W. P., had bestowed 500 rs. on the new
Henan,. College, and that Mr. Reade, commissioner,

" It appears from the parliamentary papers
that Lord Hat dingo had estimated the dram the
conquest of the Punjaub would oxasion on oar
firances bey, nd the returns it would yield, at half a
million a year : our frontier was believed by former
Commander-in-Chief, Sir H. Pune, in particular,
very greatly deteriorated.—The state of the affairs of
the Benito bank has now been fully disclosed : the
meets, it is said, will be sufficient to meet the claims
of creditors, but the shareholders will lore every-
thing—their whole capital is gone; the directors
were the chief borrowers. One of these, Colonel
Pew, of the Bengal army—a man who might at
one time have retired from the service on 10,0001.
a year—has just filed his schedule in the Court
of Bankruptcy, his debts amounting to 260,0001.
incurred entirely by sreculution. The scandals
transactions such as these cecision are thrown
into the shade by instances of monstrous gam-
bling in the army, under the most discreditable
circumstances, that have come to light—the two
showing how greatly a strong and firm hand is
wanted to weed out offenders, or keep within
bounds indulgences which tend so grievously to
lead astray. On the 22nd and 23rd of June
a severe gale visited the upper part of the
Bay of Bengal, end was felt all over India, the
barometer sinking at Bombay and Madras nearly
as low as at Calcutta. Three vessels were disabled
or lost; the ashrams grounded and went to pieces
—the Victoria was wrecked, a number of lives hav-
ing on both occasions been lost. The effects of this
storm were not confined to India, but must have ex-
tended far end wide over Asia. since the barometer
fell, we presume simultaneously, at Aden, as well as
Calcutta, Madras, lioshungabad, Bombay, and Kurra-
elne. At Bombay the rains are advancing favourably
well up to SO inches having fallen since the 3rd ofJone.
Much astonishment has been created by the refusal
of the Board of Control to allow Captain Roes,
late master-attendant, the highest pension of his
rank. He has for fifty years been almost conti-1
wally employed in the scientific department of
the service ; he bears a name as an hydrographor
second only to that of Horebargh ; and his charts
and surveys have been the means of saving num-
berless lives and uncounted fortunes. Instead of
remaining master-attendant on the full emolu-
ments of his office while the duties were discharged
by a deputy, he retired as he found the infirmities
of years advancing, and has been requited with a
salary lees than that of the youngest boy civilian.
The accounts given of the nature of the appoint-
ment of Sir W. Gomm are conflicting. Ac-
cording to one of these, be was directed to
proceed to India as lieutenant-general on the
staff, with the view of taking command in the
Punjaub, and getting rid of Lord Gough. This
mode of superseding the late commander-in-chief
would have been one of the most direct and un-
pleasant that could have been imagined. Accord-
ing to another account, he landed with the commis-
sion of cammander-iii-chief from the Queen in his
pocket, and was assured that he would find that of
the court of directors awaiting. him ; in place of
this, he found Sir C. Napier in his room. How-
ever the matter may chant* to stand, it is clear
that the amount of prevarication which has oc-
curred on the subject in parliament is enormous.
Hopes are entertained that a company's officer—
Sir George Pollock or Sir Walter Gilbert—may
obtain the command at Bombay, Sir W. Gomm and
Sir Joseph 'fhackwell are spoken of The governor
and commander-in-chief of Bombay are in Deccan.
Sir Henry Pottinger is at Madras, Sir George Ber-
keley at Bangalore. The Sanger and Nerbudda terri-
tories have been made over to the charge of the
Madras army, though the matter has not u yet been
definitively arranged."
Brigadier-General S. Hughes, C. 8., Colonel of the
26:h Bombay Native Infantry, died at Bombay on
the 9th of July.
The following letter has appeared amongst the
squadron orders of the Bombay fleet :
Haying noticed the bad discipline and ill-oonditioned ap-
pearance of the men belonging to the marine battalion em-
barked in ships of the Bon. Company's navy, I brit to call
attention of commanding of all viesels to this in-
prtant put of their command.
I oon.r the preserving the respectable and soldier-like
sopa/ono, of these men as much their duty as the seaman-
like appearance and madam of the bluejackets ; and while
I impress upon them the neeemity of observing a strict dis-
cipline on board their ships, I will also observe, in the cue
of the marines, this is better and more wily done by con-
siderate regard for their habits and feelings, strictly abstain-
ing from interfering with their religious principles or na-
tional prejudices, than by rigidly enforcing the laws and
make= of a man-of-war, as mhzusary in the ease of all Bri-
tish seamen sailing in the Indian or any other navy.
I hope, with the assistance of the captains and corn-
massifsg officers of the company's navy, to banish from the
'dad of the Sepoy the feeling that it is both a punishment
sad degradation to be ordered to serve on boud • man-of-
war, and that ere long they will take their tour of duty
'Gnat with the same alacrity in the marines of the royal
navy, and that they will prove themselves equally u dewy-
leg of the high confidence placed in them as that distin-
guished corps have ever done.

BOMBAY, JULY 24.
THE LAM FINN OT STIRS, LIVINGSTON, AND CO.—
At a meeting of the creditors of the late firm of Byers Liv-
ingston, and Co., held at the °Mee of Joseph Jefferson, En.,
aslid'ton, Bombay, on the 3ed inst., W. 8. Orey, Esq., in the
chair, it was resolved: 1. That the rate of exchange at which
returned bills should be converted into rupee', forthe pur•
pose of estimating the dividend, should be Axed throughout
1
at Is. Bed. per rupee. 2. That the trustees be authorised
(under legal advise) to declare an immediate dividend of
3 annas in the rupee. 3. That the thanks of the niezting be

Poirea Oootie.—A day considerable amount of badness in piece
goods has bona effected during the month, rnd the stocks of grey

'hidings.. In most cases previous prices were obtained a slight de-
elne having, however, been experienced on that for grey ma lapel-
lams of the coarser makes. A brisk demand exists for grey j.icra.-
nets, end forty and forty-hve inch carting*, up to the triddlinv
qualities, while fur the lower kinds of the latter a reduction in

day or two, somewhat slackened in demand an

foe Mosey Maaacr.—While from time to time we are enabled to
report changes, sometimes In one direction, sometimes in another,
ander every other heed, this tra,ket e albinos to wear the tame un-
changing features which have long characterheil it. Supplies are
abundant; channels of Investment few. The value of goverment
securities is well maintained. The Bank of Bengal has
dared • dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum
on its operations for the past six months to close of June.
NN tile such is the result of the working of a hank
posseseed of exclusive advantages, the returns, ostensibly more hand-
some of other banks, without equal advantages, cannot but excite sus-
picion and doubts as to their real position, even after allowance Is
made for the exampiar effect of the rigid rules which have guided
the operath as of the former. Bank Shares, since the declaration of
the 6 per cent. dividend, have undergone a decline and quotations
arc at present nominal. Shares of enter joint stock teaks it is int.
possible to qaote correctly.
Exciumors—Operalons In exchange have been on • very moderate
aale, srd produce has been more generally availed of for the purpose
of remittance. Our; quotations fur first class document bills are
le. lutd. to Is. told. per rupee at 6 months' sight
ilirlOitTai—Sinee our last the rates of homeward freightage have
fluctuated, and at present show no material alteration from our last
week's ileurei. The tendency is upward, notwithstanding the na•
merous arrivals of the past few days. The market is Arm, and con-
signers are looking for higher rates.
Isineo.--Some little hairless has been 'done by native dealers at
full rates, and we expect the last remaining lot has been planed.'

of each weather as we have had in Calcutta during the week, prospects
must mend. Experts of indigo from the let of November ISO, to the

Suoaa.—ArlivalS continue on aline scale, and as the market ix
abundantly supplied, prices have receded to the extent of about four
annas per end. Considerable activity continues, however, to cha.
ratter i-e the market, and we expect prices will renal.steitdy with-
out any further decline. Experts of sugar from the Ist to the 12th
July, 11113 ; to Great Britain, 70,427 rails.
Sal.TeEtaL.—A healthy feeling prevails in this market, and as sup-
plies have come more freely to hand, operations have been on a more
extended soar. Prices are firmly maiiitained, and the teudcney ie
towards an advance. Re:rifted saki amount to about 3,430 bags.
Zap.ate as above, 7,943 ma.
Breves—When rates et homeward frieghtsge went down, some little
business was done in table Aorta, but this has latterly been checks I by
the rise In freights, and the market is quiet. In the Mauritius sorts

Raw Sue.—Since the urinate( lag advices from home the demand
for this article has fallen off, and • very moaerate business has been
done to the extent only of about 70 coda. Ganercolly has been placed

Leman rams Eraose.—COMON Faxes Goons.—The favourable
account we were enabled to give last Saturday, as respects the pua.
don of this branch of our business, we are able to repeat this week.
In fact the Improvement ha been progressive and the period under
notice has been characterised by more animation than usual. Notwith-
standing the late heavy arrivals the active inquiry that has been
making has kept stocks from accumulating. We are unable to report
• corresponding improvement in the scale of prices, but hope soon to
be able to do so. Grey jaconets have been placed pretty extensively,
operations being confined chiefly to low and middling qualities.
Bleached Jaconets have been less extensively inquired after, and
pekes have a downward inclination. Grey shirtier; have been
moving away to acoosiderable extent generally at last week's prices.
For bleached &fittings the inquiry if not jute so good, and only a
moderate scale of bushiest has been done in them. Madapollams
have been in excellent request and large sales have been
effected to the extent of nearly 20,000 pieces. Mull mulls have
alai been in good demand, and operations have been In emu of
average, without, however, any improvement in value. In Lappets
fair carat of businm has bmn reported. Cambries skew no activity,
Muslims and other light goods are also equally dull and unpile Able.
Upon the whole the market is in a very satisfactory melbas and if
as room to calculate upon a considerable Increase of life and spirit

WPOLLltafi.—The improvement reported last week under this head
has continued, and afar extent of business has been reported during
the week ; prices show • shade of improvement oa Samar figure.
PaerreD AND Col.ol:hre Gooses—These goods have participated in
the Improvement above noticed, and operations have been gone into
to more than the usual extent. French chintzes have been placed to

sition. The demand for Turkey red cloths la rather languid.

OREECE.—Our correspondent writes:
ATHENS, Ac 0.15
There is a move in the cabinet, at la3t. Mr.
Christides has been kicked out (he wouldn't ask t> be
allowed to go), and rep!acel by Mr. L. Khrestecitis,
the Minister of Finance. Mr. Bilbis has sue- I
needed Mr. Khrtstenitis. I! is said that the
circular which Mr. Christides issued to the
Nomarques to aid and as,ist the refu-
gees who had arrived in the kingdom was the
principal cause of his downfall. It is, however, well
known that several ministers of foreign powers have
been urging the government to drive them from the
soil, and that the government, as an auxiliary mea-
sure, has declared the supplementary credit, voted for
this purpose, exhausted.
A committee has been formed of many members of
the Chambers and other wealthy persons, who have
subscribed liberally for the Italian refugees. Bri-
gandage has nearly disappeared. Major Fzinos has
arrived at Athens. Captain Walker, commanding
the Russian brigof war Theseus, in the Piraeus, blew
his brains oat. lie budget is not yet passed.
Weather dreadfully hot. Otho sulky at an empty
treasury, and you have all the news.

The Constitutionnel to-day undertakes to reassure
the French public, not a little frightened by the me-
nacing prospect of an alliance of eastern absolutism
against not only the democracy but the constitutional
freedom of the west. These fears it seeks •o il:ssi-
pate, first by asserting that Russia entertains no ruck
bad intentions, bat that, on the contrary, i:s an' ion
and its view, are turned in altogether a different
direction. Contented with pacifying Hungary, and
conciliating its warlike sane to himself and to abno-
lutiam, the Czar, according to the journal iu M.
Thiers's confidence, aims merely at absorbing Turkey
and annexing Constantinople.
We must say that this is very poor consolation.
For if Russia, after having enchained Austria, fasci-
nated France, and overawed Prussia, d_es really direct
her legions to the Bosphorus, _ this is merely strength-
ening her hands for more despotic and irresistible
dictation to Western Europe. We do not, hoteever,
believe that ltussia is at all reedy for any such
advance southward. The czar will have quite enough
to do to stand as an arm. ti guard on the Danube, to
watch the attempts which Austria must mike for re-
organising a government, an adminiAr.eion, a
finance. To act the gem (Parrne to Germany is alone
an office which will for a long time require all the vigi-
lance, the prudence, the skill, and the carte of Russia.

But, as to the hopes of tither Austrian or Prussian
government forming for a lung time any efficient re-
sistance or obstacle to Russia, of that there is
little hope. Neither of these governmenta
could offer resistance, even that of diplomacy,
unless they were in accord with, and supported
by their people. And of this there seems little chance
whatever. No sovereign of Germany, except perhaps
the Duke of Saxe Gotha, enjoys at this moment the
least iota of either the attachment or respect of their
subjects. All therefore must lean on Russia and do
its bidding, be that bidding what it may. We there-
fore, though agreeing with the Constitution net, in
desiring that there is no fear of war, think neverthe-
less, that the:e is great fear of despotic dictation in
the favour of Itimis, and of mean subservience on
the pert of all other European governments.
The Iluniteur this morning contains a letter from
M. d'Azeglio, Prime Minister of Piedmont, expressing
sentiments of extreme gratitude to the government of
the repabiic for the friendly interest evinced by it
daring the negotiations for rate between himself and
Austria. Tots letter, which is a mere formality, is
prefaced by a remark that the document is a prcof in
distinct contradiction to the false colourin; given h
the Italian journals to the attitude of the French
government as to these negotiations.
The some official journal contains some more
changes mode by Mr. Dufaure in the personnel of the
sous pellets of the depertme .ts.
The Fresse yesterday published a form of petition
to the National Assembly, for the reduction of the
army, and the abolition of the conscription, and to-
day it argues strongly on the necessity of this course,
on the double ground of a regard far lice finances of
the 'state, and justice 7. to French eitiz me, who by
forced military service are taken from the pursuits
of industry, and to a great extent demoralised. The
Presse says :
Let pe•itiwis bt signed on all sides praying for th^ aboli-
tion ul maitary lavery, and the governments will soon adopt
this unitorm oasis of a military forge not exceeding the two-
hundrento part of the piputation. It mil be mere than a
milliard wises Europe will economise per annum, and which
she can devote L imi.ravements of various kinds. Then the
military se- v'ee w. 4 cease to be a cause of perturb Won. It

the only to re....vw that redaction is to carry out the alsoli-
ti it of .hilitary servitude, and to hare a two•hundreth part
pare of the p;ptaia•ion under arms. If we multiply the
face by t;.e m,tnaty of an army of 150,0)0 men, selected
with ad the care eviiierd by the ltunans, ar.l c.aried from
the ceic.re to to.. circumference, and vice versa. there will

be a force flee-fold greater than that of the fies oration.

do that, it erery thing is to be preserved and nothing re-
formed ? Iteduee the army, or increase the taxes, is the
narrow alternative which Franco has to choose. Of these
two perils, a flreiin war or a social revolution, which is the
least probable ? Is the influence of the tax of 45 centimes
forgotten, and will not general elections take place in 1852,
lin which all the tat• payers are to take part 1 Will the
example of the republicans of the Veille be lost on the
republicans of the lendemain? Let these last think of it,
for they will be judged by their works, and weighed in
the balance of the budget—they on one side and the taxes on
the other.

This appeal for the redaction of the military force
of Prance is also repeated in the ()pinion Publique,
which shows that the 100,000,000 for which it is
