THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 8, 1851.

any force. The Assembly may do what it pleases;
but the law is dead, and all Frenchmen, 21 years'ef
age, aria having raided for six menthe in their com-
mune; trill vote in 1852. To render that remdt in-
evitable the President has only to do nothing. If
the Assembly reject the bill now, they will be
ebliged •to pass it three months hence." The
majority will be daily more chagrined by
such language being allowed to pass unchal-
lenged •by the authorities. But as -the li-
berals say, the work of reparation has begun ;
and the message of Nov. 4 is the knell of reaction.
M. Berryer found that he overshot the mark in mov-
ing for a committee on the state of the country. In
other words, it was moving fur the attainder of the
President. Dupin evaded putting such a motion from
the chair; and the leader of the legitimists was fain
to withdraw his aggressive proposition, and accept
the interpellations offered instead by the government.
A curious communication has been made to the
Moniteur Ju &dr, by the Abbe Dufriches des Go-
nettes, rector of Notre Dame des Victoires. The
reverend gentleman announces that all the mosses
celebrated in his parish yesterday, Nov. 5, were in-
tended as a special ' amende honorable," and repa-
ration to the Holy Virgin for the odious sacrilege
which the Mayor of a certain town in England pro-
to commit on that day at the head of a
rio:eed licentious mob.

BELGIUM.

Yesterday the Senate proceeded to form its defi-
nitive bureau. It elected M. llumon-Dumortier
president; MM. de Renesse and D'Omslius, vice-
presidents; and MM. Grenicr-Lefebvre and Spitaels
secretaries.

UNITED STATES.

The United States steam-ship Atlantic,Capt. West,
arrived in the Mersey on Friday evening, with three
days' later news from New York and other cities in
the United States. The Atlantic sailed from the port
of New York on the 26th October, the day following
her usual time. She reports the arrivals out of the
Pacific and Niagara. The number of passengers by
this arrival is 26, and the amount of specie four hun-
dred thousand dollars.

Monetary affairs at New York continue to improve,
and business generally was in a more flourishing
condition. The stock and securities market was in-
active. Messrs. Jacob Little and Co., bankers, New
York, failed on the 23rd ult. On this subject the
Nero York Herald says: " We arc gratified to state
that this eminent firm will probably make a satisfac-
tory compromise of their liabilities, and again resume
operations."
The democrats of the city and county of New York
held their ratification mass meeting, in Tammany
Hall, on the 23rd October. Amongst the resolutions
passed at a full and enthusiastic meeting, the follow-
ing have some significance:—

The metallic reserve of the Bank of France has de-
clined both in the Paris Bank and in the provinces,
in the former, nearly 1 million, and in the latter 4/
millions. The discount-accommodation has fallen off
in Paris 5I millions, and increased in the departments
3; millions, the amount of the former being
31,162,G11fr. and of the latter 641,162,641 fr. On the
side of liabilities, the notes in circulation have fallen
off 3 millions in Paris, and increased of a million
in the branch banks. The account-current of the
Treasury has declined 31 millions, the prese.it amount
being 34,310,38nfr. Private accounts current have
declined 2/ millions in the Paris and increased 2
millions in the branch banks, the amount of the
former being 84,310,381*. and of the latter
31,263,393 fr. The amount of the metallic reserve is
at present 0031 millions to 5321 millions of notes
in circulation.

That, to the democratic party alone now u heretofore,
must the duty be entrusted of developing the great destiny
of the American people ; that we can no longer regard with
indifference and inaction the aggressive combination of
Russia, England, and Austria, against the republican move-
ments in Europe and America; that the arrival of the illus-
trious Kossuth upon our soil will be an auspicious occasion
for the democracy of the United States, in their primary
assemblies, to proclaim anew, for the encouragement of the
prostrate masses of other countries, the principle of the
sovereignty of the people, that all governments exist by
their consent and for their welfare ;and that they have at all
times full authority to alter existing and establish new insti-
tutions and forms of government.
That the democracy of New York, now universally and
cordially united, go into the approaching election with an
invincible determination to restore the ascendancy of de-
mocratic men and measures in our metropolitan and state
administrations ; that the overthrow of the whig power in
this city and state is the great and final measure of prepa-
ration for the national contest of 18.52, when the American
democracy, victorious in every issue of principle which they
have heretofore submitted to the popular vote, with their
flag borne aloft by a dauntless, progressive, and radical de-
mocrat, will again enter the field, re-altirmieg the prin-
ciples which have secured the triumphs of the past, and
proclaiming for the future guidance of our Federal govern-
ment, the fixed and unalterable purpose of these United
Suites, to adhere no longer to the dogmas of neutrality in
our foreign policy, while the monarchies of Europe are
forming alliances and conspiring to exterminate republi-
canism from the Old World, and to circumscribe and im-
pede, on the continents of North and South America, the
progress of republican institutions and governments.

At the Bourse the Fires fell 35c., and closed at
90.30 ; the Threes fell 25e., closing at 55.75. Rail-
ways were less firm. Most of the lines fell slightly.

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 2nd contain no poli-
tical news of importance. The government continues
to display great rigour towards the opposition press.
The C'unstitacional and the Epoca have been again
seized. .

Tho Cortes were to meet on the .Itlt, without any
xtraordinary pomp or ceremony.

ITALY.

PIEDMONT.
Silvio Pale° arrived at Genoa on the 27th ult.
TUSCANY.

The following proclamation had been issued by
President Fillmore in regard to expeditions joining
the revolution in Northern Mexico.

It is said that France and England have pre-
sented an explicit note to the Tuscan government,
protesting against the absorption of Tuscany by
Austria.

Whereas there is reason to believe that a military expedi-
tion is about to be fitted out in the United States, for the
purpose of invading the Mexican Republic, with which this
country is at peace; and whereas, there is reason to appre-
hend that a portion of the people of this country, regardless
of their duties as good citizens, are concerned in, or may be
seduced to take part in the same; and whereas, such enter-
prises tend to degrade the character of the United States in
the opinion of the civilised world, and are expressly prohi-
bited by law—now, therefore, I have issued this my pro-
clamation, warning all persons who shall connect them-
selves with any such enterprise, in violation of the
laws and national obligations of the United States, that
they will thereby subject themselves to the heavy
penalties denounced against such offences ; that if
they should be raptured within tho jurisdiction of the
Mexican authorities they must expect to be tried
and punished according to the laws of Mexico, and will
have no right to claim the interposition of this government
in their behalf. 1 therefore exhort all well disposed citi-
zens who have at heart the reputation of their country, and
are animated with a just regard for its laws, its peace, and
its welfare, to discountenance, and by all lawful means pre-
vent, any such enterprise ; and I call upon every officer of
this government, civil or military, to be vigilant in arresting
for trial and punishineut every such offender. (liven under
my hand the twenty-second day of October, in the year of
our Lord one thousand right hundred and fifty-one, and the
seventy-sixth of the independence of the United States.
By the President :
J. J. Crittenden, Acting Sec. of State.

SWITZERLAND.

The elections for the National Council of Switzer-
land have resulted in the return of 25 conservatives,
'9 liberals, and 66 radicals.

MILLARD Fiumuue.

The above proclamation has been issued in conse-
quence of intelligence received from the consul at
Matamoras, to the effect that a company of Texans
had been organised, and had marched into Mexico,
and that nee• enlistments were in progress for similar
movements.

Great excitement was produced at Philadelphia on
Wednesday, by the arrival of the ship Shackamaxon
from Liverpool, with about CAW passengers, among
whom the small pox had broken out. The police
were instructed to prevent the vessel from landing at
the city dock, and the Board of Health would pro-
bably order her to the quarantine.
The packet brig Belle, which recently plied be-
tween Boston and Halifax, was wrecked, about
twenty miles from the latter place, on Monday morn-
ing. She had on board a large number of passengers,
all of whom were saved, but the vessel and cargo
will prove an entire loss.
By the way of Washington, we are informed that
there is a probability of the release of the entire party
of Cuban prisoners who have been sent to Spain.

stop the growth of the plant.
