their organs.
We cannot, however, look upon the respect shown
by Sir J. DAVIS for the property of PNVAN 8.3 so very
pusillanimous. The Honan people gave very good
and courteous reasons why the English should not
force their presence u,,on the population of forty-eight
reluctant villages. By not being too imperative, Sir
JOHN seems to have gained the principal pointt viz ,
some storehouses on the shore of the river immediately
opposite the factories, with recreation ground at a
greater distance.

A portion of the following appeared in a late edition
of the Express on Saturday:
The Paris journals and our correspondence of Fri-
day and Saturday have reached us.
The nomination of the Duke d'Aumale to the situa-
tion of Governor-General of the French colony in
Africa has produced a violent polemic in the French
press. The leading journals still continued this dis-
cussion on Friday and Saturday
The reform banquets continue in the departments.
A demonstration of this kind has just taken place at
St. Quentin, at which MM. Odillon Barrot, l'llerbette,
Cambaceres Quinette, do Brotonne, and other depu-
ties, delivered speeches. These meetings provoke the
ire of the government, which finds expression in the
columns of the Journal des Debris.
The Archbishop of Paris has addressed a circular to
his clergy ordering public prayers to be offered up in
the churches for Pope Pies IX., and for the success of
his projects of reform. This circular was to have been
rend yesterday (Sunday) in all the churches and
chapels of the diocese.
It is said that the cabinet of Vienna, pressed by the
papal government to evacuate Ferrara, has offered to
submit the question to the arbitration of the cabinet
of the Tuileries. To this proposition the Pope has
declined giving an answer until after Ferrara has been
evacuated.

LONDON, MONDAY, SEPT. 27.

JEAN Cot.Ern departed this life in time, if political
supremacy and success were, as they appear to have
been, necessary concomitants to his enjoyment of life.
He had lung reigned, supported in European courts
and in financial necessities by France, and upheld at
home by the Klephts and Capitani, the old irregular
force party, whom he made use of to torture, kill,
plunder, and intimidate patriots and civilians. Lat-
terly, these trenchant instruments, the rade Captains
of Greece, began to turn in CoLevi's hand, and
cut it. The pay grew slack, the-minister arrogant,
and the GRIVAS and Gatzztorns betook themselves
to play the old game of COLOCOTRONI, and to raise
Imetths against the government. As in case of the
least success they would have been joined by. every
civilian and citizen in Greece, it was quite time for
CoLern's power and King Onto's quiet, that the
rude and obnoxious minister of Greece should dis-
appear.
English Philhellenes, even those best acquainted
with Greece, underrate CoLern. Though an illite-
rate man, bred in the crass, and worse than crass, ig-
norance of Au PAPUA'S court, be had known how to
gather much experience and information. And I
throughout all that maze of quarrels between the
Greek deputies and the CAPO D'lsretas, between the
native patriots and the absolutist diplomatists,
Cotern played a most spirited, consistent, intelligent, '
and liberal part; thereby did he lay legitimate founda-
tions for that influence which he has since wielded
for more questionable ends
It has been remarked that the two great parties of
Spanish liberals arose from the different places of
exile chosen by them when expatriated. Those who
dwelt in France imbibed French and doctrinaire
Earrinceeres, thaw who tarried in England em-
its more frank and popular liberalism.
COLETTI'S long residence in Paris, where he
was in reality a political scholar of M. GPIZOT'S,
of course confirmed him irrevocably in the French
way of thinking. There he was taught to believe
the common-place clamour against England—of its
being envious of Greece. There he imbibed M.
GPIZOT'S avowed principle.. that, for countries so
young as Greece, a senate of notables, chosen by the
crown, was the true and only national assembly, and
that a representative government was unfit for
an undeveloped people. In this M. armor and
Prince Metreastictt, and of course the Prussian and
Bavarian courts, so fully agreed, that there was not the
least chance for. England of enforcing or rendering
prevalent its own ideas, that a genuine representative
system is the fittest to regenerate a country.
Although fully convinced that the advice of Eng-
land was alone the true liberal and patriotic one, we can-
not but think that it was useless to struggle fiercely
against the absolutist and military party in
Greece. A silent and dignified protest should have
sufficed, and the Greeks themselves should have been
left to discover and remedy at the proper time the
fatal tendencies of their government.
Our envoy, a most able and zealous man, preferred
taking an active part against the absolute tendencies,
and certainly the very infamous and arbitrary con•
duct, of COLETTI. He hoped to see liberal men and
principles triumph ; and so they did for a time—for a
brief and useless interval. But, with the King and
court hostile, and the representatives of all the other
courts of Europe against him, it was quite plain that
Sir EDMUND LYONS could not struggle against the
tide, and that he would find himself at open war with
King Onto, with King Orno's ministers, and with
their French advisers.
We greatly regret the existence, and, above all,
the continuance of this antagonism. In a great
country like Spain, some reasons may be alleged,
even those in our opinion insufficient ones, for keep-
ing up a diplomatic straggle ; but in Greece, which
is after all but a nursery, for our representative to
have got implicated in its family and infantine
squabbles, was as undignified as bootless.
We have, so doubt, seriously annoyed and dunned
Senor CoLerri, and several times mortified and lec-
tured King .0T110; and latterly we have played an
amusing trick to the beaker ETNARD, by making
him reluctantly and unexpectedly pay up 20,0001.,
which he had very officiously and affectedly become
guarantee for.
But are these deeds and triumphs worthy of
England ? If a great nation ought not to make a
little war, ought it to indulge in such small intrigues,
such petty triumphs as these? M. Enenen is •
vain old gentleman, but his past generosity and truly
liberal sacrifices for Greece command respect, and
should have made us loth to embarrass him. The
trick played upon M. EYNARD by our Foreign-office
is certainly most adroit, and, as told by its
organ, the Times, highly amusing. But, we
repeat it, such practical jokes are not the
fit triumphs of a statesman. And, fur our part,
we should feel no cause of pride or exaltation in
beholding that our diplomatists, when -worsted or
insulted by courts and kings, took revenge by making
a run on a foreign banker, or a private lunge at a
rival statesman.
The deeds, the princes, the ministers of modern
Greece, should not be beneath our attention, bat
should certainly be beneath our jealousy. Aa
Englishmen, we would no more condescend to
enter into diplomatic and political rivalry with
them than we would deign to meet them in
arms. Nor would we condescend to aggravate
or give importance to a stupid difference about
etiquette between Greece and Turkey, or set up a
kind of personal rivalry with such an ignorant
Klepht as COLETTI, or deign to dun him or his
banker for 20,0001., in order to distress them. To do
this in the name of Old England, and boast of such
deeds, either as great triumphs or good jokes, is bad
policy and worse taste. It makes statesmanship
dwindle into the pettiness of mere personality, and
presents us with the small manoeuvres of diplomacy
as the choice achievements of political wisdom.

Prince Napoleon, son of Jerome Bonaparte, ex-
king of Westphalia, has arrived in Paris at the Hotel
du Rhin.
The death of M. Coletti has been announced in a
despatch from M. Placatory to M. Guizot. It took
place on the evening of the 10th.
The court of Louis Philippe is for the present held
in the Château of Compi4ne, near the camp. The
Persian ambassador was presented there on Thursday.
Frederick Souli6L, the well-known fruilletuniat and
writer of fiction, died on Thursday, near Paris.

The Madrid mails, with the journals and corre-
spondence of the 20th inst., have been received. A
ministerial crisis was talked of, and, indeed, a decided
cabinet seemed indispensable. A moderado ministry
under Narvaez was again the subject of conversation
in certain circles. Thia would certainly take place if
the section of the cabinet led by Goyene. and Roe de
Olano should prevail, otherwise Salamanca must
decidedly call in the progresistas. The former
arrasgement would, it seems, be opposed to the in-
clination of the Queen.
It appears a conspiracy has been discovered at
Fampeluna, for the Captain-General of Navarre has
published an address to the soldiers, dated from that
city, in which he states that ho feels assured they
will resist the attempts made to seduce them from the
Queen's cause. The Eco del Comercio describes the con-
spiracy to be the work of the Afrancesado party. 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.
The Eco del Comercio of Madrid, of the 19th, con-
tains the following paragraph, the authenticity of
which is more than questionable, and which is more-
over in striking contradiction with the intelligence
given by the Debats:—" According to the last letters
received from Gibraltar, it appears certain that Abd-el
Keder has made himself master of the empire of Mo-
rocco, by occupying Fez, which is the capital, and
strategetic key of that country."

Subject more or less to possible inaccuracies, we
have reports from the states of Lucca and Tuscany
which must excite painful feelings in all who place
their hopes in the tranquil progress of Italian regene-
ration. It appears that the retirement of the Duke of
Lucca from his principality, on the plea of ill health,
was an act of the basest treachery on the part of this
prince. After his proclamation, which we mentioned i
on Saturday, appointing a regency to carry oat the
manse reforms in his duchy as were in progress in
Toicany, this shameless prince withdrew to the neigh-
bouring principality of Modena, from the shelter of
which he sent another proclamation revoking all
his former sets, perfidiously breaking his solemnly
sworn pledges, and annulling the decrees for the
institution of the national guard, the liberty of the
press, and other constitutional guarantees, which a
few days before he formally. proclaimed. It was
generally believed that the duke was instigated to
this act of perfidy by Austrian agents.
The royal decree published at Florence, containing
the regulations for the organisation of the national
guard, produced (as we anticipated would happen)
the most lively expressions of discontent in Tuscany,
so much so, that a public protest against it was pre-
pared and signed by thousands of persons. This re-
monstrance, however, was anticipated by the govern-
ment, which was not slow to discover the false
step it had taken, and the day after the publication of
the first decree, another appeared modifying it
and appointing a committee to decide on the regula-
tions under which the officers of the national guard
should be nominated. Other advises lay that the
Grand Duke Leopold, revoking his former decisions,
had decided that not more than 200 muskets should
bo allowed for the civic guard of Leghorn, and that
even these should be placed in the charge of an officer
appointed by himself.
While the Duke of Lucca, after issuing from
Modena the proclamation above mentioned, retired to
Milan, the council of regency which he had previously
named, proceeded to appoint three committees, the
first charged to prepare the rules for the organisation
of the national guard, the second to prepare a report
lon the regulation of the journals and the press, and
the third on the finances. The urban guard, which
previously existed, has been abolished, and the now
civic or national guard established.
Advises from Turin of the 20th say that the Duke
of Modena has ordered a military cordon to be formed
on the Tuscan frontier. The Piedmontese Gazette
says that the Prince de Canino, who was in attend-
ance on the Scientific Congress at Vienna, has been
ordered to quit the Austrian territory. The ground
of this proceeding is said to have been the expres-
sions of admiration used by the prince is relation to
Pius IX., in his speech at the Congress.
The Alba of Florence says that the Pope has held
a council of cardinals, which was attended, among
others, by Cardinals Gizzi, Antonelli, and Ferretti,
at which it was decided luit his Holiness should
write an autograph letter to the Emperor of Austria
to introit him, personally, to withdraw the troops
from Ferrara. This letter had been written and sent
to Vienna.
Letters from Milan have brought strange intelli-
gence. It appears that Count Bolza, a personage
holding a high place in the Austrian police, and sup.
posed to have great influence with the government,
has been arrested. This individual is represented
as having been perfectly execrated by the people in.
Lombardy, having played a most odious part in the
persecutions of 1814 and in the movements of
1821 and 1831, in each of which he was the most
bitter and unscrupulous agent of Austrian vengeance
against. all who were suspected of entertaining liberal
opinions. The circumstances attending his arrest are
thus stated : on the occasion of the late public festi-
vities, on the installation of the f:f.w archbiehnn. con-
flicts arose between the police and the armed force on
the one hand and the populate on the other, the par-
ticularsof which we have formerly given. The podesta,
or mayor of Milan—a man of mild and gentle cha-
racter, and a known partisan of Austria—partaking
in the general indignation excited on this occasion by
the conduct of the police and gendarmerie, had the
courage and manliness to go to the palace of the go-
, vernor, and tell him that the conflict and disturbance
was produced by the cmprovokedbrutality of the agents
of Count Beira and his band, who every hour nave-
-1 rated the people by fresh acts of barbarity, and
that the excitement could only be allayed by a
, measure which would convince the people that the
government was no accomplice in these measures of
Count Bolza. On this condition the podesta pistlipd
himself for the tranquillity of the city. In cons,-
gum* of this, Count Bolza was first suspended. The

WE suppose that it was in consideration of the
utter nullity of the tidings brought by the overland
mail, that the French telegraphic authorities flung
into their despatch the spice of " menacing" news
from Chins. The withdrawal of Anglo-Indian troops
from Hong-Kong was another formidable misreading,
which might have created alarm, had people had
time for it.
The perusal of the journals and correspondence,
however, show that everything at Canton went on
in the most pacific spirit, except indeed the pens of
the journalists. These are loud in their abuse of Sir
JOHN DAVIS, first for being so very resolute and fierce
with the Chinese, some time back, menacing Can-
ton, and compelling Governor KEYING to conditions,
whilst now Sir JonN shows himself mild and for-
bearant, and unwilling to insist on the most imme-
diate and interesting of these conditions to the inhse
bitants of the factories.
It is very hard upon the merchants who trade with
one of the first cities of that vast empire, to UP cooped
up without room for their Foods or themselves, and
without a place for recreation or exercise. In two
years they are promised free walking through Canton,
a dangerous liberty to take at any time, especially in
the subarbs or rural portions of them worth visiting
for the sake of exercise. They, therefore, cast
their longing eyes to the other side of the river. But
here, it seems, an old Hong merchant bad purchased
and built a temple to his ancestors, with grounds
adjoining, to furnish provision for his aged relatives.
PWAN made a piteous appeal in behalf of his temple,
and the land mortgaged to his ancestors. KEYING
seemed to make light of their objections. Sir JOHN
DAVIS showed bowels of compassion for the Chinese
householders, for which he has been consigned to the

city immediately resumed its customary tranfieillfty,
The next day Gaunt Balsa was arrested and thrown
into prison.
The journals and correspondence of Rome to the
19th have been received. Tranquillity prevailed
everywhere in the pontifical states, and addresses ar-
rived daily from the provinces, expressive of the de-
votion of the people to their sovereign, and their rea-
dining to place their persons and their properties at
his absolute disposition.
The Augsburg Gazette, under the date of Naples,
13th inst., says that the insurgents oa retiring from
Reggio withdrew to Gerace (a town situated on the
opposite side of the Peninsula, and washed by the
Adriatic), which they proceeded to fortify. They are
represented as having been considerably augmented
in numbers, and that many who had escaped from
Messina had joined them. Two thousand of the royal
troops had marched in pursuit of them.

Letters from Berne of the 20th, say that that city
resents all the appearances of a state of war. A
hundred officers are assembled there for the purpose
of military instruction. Four companies of artillery
have been sent to Thun for practice. The arrival of
Lord Minto in Berne produced a considerable sensa-
tion. Atter holding a conference with Mr. Peel, the
English minister, his lordship visited M. Ochsenbein,
the president of the confederation, with whom he had
a long conversation. M. Ochsenbein returned the
visit some hours later. Lord Minto left Berne for
Turin on the evening of the 20th. An army of
60,000 men is expected to be ready in a few weeks
to march against the Sonderbund, unless the recusant
Icantons submit, which at present appears the reverse

of probable.
Letters from Zurich of the 22nd say that the open-
ing of the extraordinary session of the Grand Council
took place on that day, when a resolution was adopted
to make preparations to enforce the decree of the diet
against the Sunderbond, by a majority of 151 votes
against 29. A credit was accordingly voted in favour
of the executive body of the canton to enable it to
complete the necessary maitary preparations. The
credit demanded by the executive was 40,000 francs.
The Council granted 60,000.

The commerce of Vienna has suffered a serious
shock, by the sudden and unexpected discontinuance
of the accommodation hitherto granted on the security
of railway shares. The Austrian government, in
order to prevent the full of the public securities at the
time of their general decline in the markets of London
and Paris, announced that it would purchase through
the intervention of the Bank of Vienna, at a fixed rate,
the shares in certain important lines of railway,
and that it would make advances at a moderate in-
terest on the deposit of such shares as well as upon
Austrian stock. The merchants of Vienna have
availed themselves largely of the facilities thus offered
to the great advantage of commerce. It now appears
that the government, without any previous notice, has
suddenly discontinued this mode of accommodation.
Tho consevence has been an immediate fall of 8 per
cent, in railway shares, and two per cent on stock.
The bank continues to make advances as usual on stock.
A panic has been produced in the money market of
Vienna, where this proceeding on the part of the go-
vernment is ascribed to the apprehension of war.
Since the above was written, we have received the
Zeitung's Ilalle of the 22nd inst., in which we read
as follows :
IL. de Metternich, in concert with the Minister of
Finance, Baron de Kerbiech, has withdrawn the prohibi-
tion, which had been published, of purchasing railway
share,. The sinking fund will, in consequence, continue to
purchase this kind of stock at the common rate. This mea-
sure has excited great enthusiasm at the Bourse. The sink-
ing fund has bought for upwards of 15 millions it is be-
lieved the purchases will be continued. M. de Metternich
kas formally declared that the withdrawing of this prohibi-
tion has not been mused by any unfavourable news. It is
the mere result of a difference of settlement between the
bank and the sinking thud.

CONSTANTINOPLE, SEPT. 8.

An extraordinary courier has arrived a the Porte
with despatches from Darbhor Pacha, Seraskier of Albania,
containing the details of a victory gained by the Sultan's
troops over the insurgents. The whole of the rebel forces
have been either cut to pieces, or are fugitives in the moun
tains. The troops of the Sultan remain in quiet possession
of the country, and to all appearances the spirit of insurrec-
tion is completely broken. Thus within the present year
I have two extensive provinces in the empire been brought
under subjection to the Porte. The Albanians, the fiercest
midmost intractable of the Sultan's subjects, broke into rebel-
lion chiefly at the instigation of Greek and Russian emis-
saries, but they have been put down, and the spirit of in-
subordination it is to be presumed is crushed. Thus have
the swaggering Greeks and their intriguing allies received a
useful lemon. These successes cannot fail to have a whole-
ssme effect upon the present difference between Turkey and
Greece; for it is but natural to conclude that the coercive
measures already adopted are but the fort runners of others
still more serious, should the satisfaction demanded by the
Porte be refused.
It was in the latter end of the month of May that the in-
surrection first broke out in Albania. The ostensible cattle
was the attempt of the Turkish authorities to enforce the con-
scription, but it was well known that Greek and Russian
agents had, for months before, been busily engaged in excit-
leg the inhabitants to revolt. Djoulika, an Albanian chief,
possessing considerable influence over his countrymen, was
the first to raise the standard of rebellion. lie had under
his orders 800 men, and with these he took the field against
the seraskier of the province, Darbhor Paths. The Porte
had long acted the unwise part of suffering the soldiers raised
in Albania to serve in that province ; ss, therefore, a great
number of the troops under the command of Darbhor Paella
were natives of the country, he dared not, for fear of their de-
serting, march immediately to the attack of the insurgents.
He determined to wait for reinforcements from Constantinople,
and this delay caused the rebels to believe that the govern-
ment feared to attack them : their number, therefore, rapidly
increased. Djoulika and his lieutenant Heppe commanded
two different bodies of the insurgents. Djoulika was sta-
tioned in the neighbourhood of Argyrocastro, and the latter
in the Sandjack of Beret. As we have mentioned above,
Darbhor Pacha succeeded in placing his troops between
these two divisions. Ho then extended his forces so at to
confine the insurgents within the Eyelet of Janina, and in
that position waited the expected reinforcements from Con-
stantinople. As soon as they arrived, and as boon as Lhe
blockading squadron had commenced operations between
Previa* and Asians, he marched with nearly all his troops
upon Elballan, and from thence crossed tbo whole of that
part of Albania occupied by the rebels. Three times was
his progrem opposed by the insurgents, and tack time he
overthrew them with considerable lees.
Darbhor Paella had placed some mountain howitzers on
the heights commanding the passes through which he forced
the rebels to retreat, and thus completed their destruction.
Djoulika and Rapp& have both offered to submit upon cer-
tain conditions. The Seraskier, however, has refused to
hear of any other terms than those of their surrendering at
discretion. The head-quarters of the Turkish army are at
present at Bent, but Drabber Pacha has gone on to Avlona,
for the purpose of communicating with the blockading
squadron, and combining the operations of the land army
with those of the fleet in extinguishing the remaining sparks
of rebellion in the province.
