hand immediate war would be more than the ,
would justify. Admitting the nobleness of the cause
of Poland, that of France herself, her peace, her
prosperity, and her grandeur, would render such an
extreme measure inadmissible.
" At the same time," adds the joumalist, " the re-esta-
blishment of the English alliance is an object equally import-
ant to the interests of peace and civilisation ; and we arc
confident that the good sense and elevated understanding of
the English people are such that they will not permit an ob-
ject so grand and so noble to be sacrificed to an accident of
polities."
Private letters from Vienna state that the incorpo-
ration of Cracow has not been accomplished without
a strong opposition on the part of some of the mem-
bers of the Austrian Cabinet. The Count Kol-
lowrath was one of those most strongly op-
posed to the measure, and finding himself in a
minority tendered his resignation. Ile has announced
his intention of withdrawing altogether from public
affairs, and fixing his residence at Pisa.
Besides the official manifesto of the incorporation
of Cracow, the cabinet of Vienna has published a long
article in the Austrian Obsetrer to justify the rem
VW i
. To issue such a document in such a form
is a homage offered by. absolutism to liberty. It is
a proof that public opinion is respected even within
the palaces of despots.
The article is too prolix to allow us to give it here,
besides which it really contains no new fact or
sophism to palliate the monstrous iniquity which has
been committed.
It appeared in the A ',shim& Obserrer of the 20th
instant, and its translation occupies four columns of
the .Imtril«l des DArits of Friday.
Count St. Aulaire left Paris on Friday morning, for
London.
The Bey of Tunis manifests an intelligent curiosity
respecting the state of the arts in Europe.. Ile passed
the chief part of Friday in the armoury at the Mu-
seum of Artillery, and was present at the performance
of Mlle. Rachel, in the part of Phedre, at the Theatre
Francais, in the evening.
No increase will take place in the price of bread in
Paris during the first fortnight in December; the
present price, 46c. per kilos., or 21d. per lb., being
—Aintained.

The railway interests in France, which have been for
some time involved in a monetary crisis, have assumed
a position so embarrassing, as to attract the attention
of the government, and certain projects of law
are prepared to be presented to the Chambers,
soon after the opening of the session, having for their
object the relief of the companies. It is proposed to
relieve the companies to which the lines :rem Bor-
deaux to Cette, and from Lyons to Avignon, and the
western lines have been conceded, fromthc obligations
toconstruct the brcuiehes and the secondary lines which
form part of their contract with the state. A consi-
derable extension of the time allowed for the comple-
tion of the line is also contemplated, with a view of
relieving the money market of the pressure produced
by the frequency of calls.

Advices from St. Petersburg, received in Paris,
announce a victory claimed by the Russians over the
troops of Chiamil, in the Caucasus. Aczording to
the bulletin of the Russians, Chiamil had been com-
pletely routed, and only escaped with difficulty,
leaving 800 men killed on the field of battle.
He had lost one of his four guns, 21 ammu-
nition waggons, several flags, 300 prisoners, and the
battle-axes which he always had carried before him.
The Murides had been pursued by the inhabitants,
who recovered from them the plunder which they
had seized on entering the country. Chiamil arrived
at Weden on the 21st Oct.

The progress of the Liberal party in Switzerland
has met with a cheek at Schaffhausen, where the
revision of the constitution has been rejected by a
majority of 3,659 votes against 1,687. The three
sections of Schaffhausen, Stein, and the electoral
assembly of Doerttlieugen voted in favour of the
. .

revision.
The Vorort, which sits alternately in the cantons of
Zurich, Verne, and Lucerne, will speedily pass to the
turn of Berne, where the radical party is clamorous
for a new revision of the constitution. Private
letters, dated Lausanne, 24th instant, state that
the popular association, which had reckoned on the
arrival of the Vorort in Berne to proclaim the
breach of the federal pact, and to declare war against
the Catholic alliance, are irritated at certain pacific
protestations which countenance the expectation
that the directorial council of Berne will be
animated by sentiments as moderate as that of Zurich.
The repression of the formidable emeute in October
would indicate that the new government desires seri-
ousl to break with those to whom it owes its exist-
ence,y and that it had both the force and the will to
repress anarchy.
It continues to be generally credited that negotia-
tions have been opened with Rome to obtain the recall
of the Jesuits of Lucerne. It is said that two great
powers have used their good offices to promote the
accomplishment of this object.
Petitions are in progress of signature in the
canton of Lucerne, to pray the grand-council to revoke
the decree by which it entrusted public instruction to
the Jesuits. These petitions are signed more nume-
rously by those who support the present order of
things than by the radicals.

The Madrid journals and private correspondence
of the 21st and 22d, were received in Parrocis
eed-
on
Friday and Saturday. The elections were p
ing with animation, the candidates leaving
erentthe
capital daily for the provinces. t diff
electoral colleges of Madrid the Conservative, or
government candidates had most chance of success.
A few of the Progressista party were expected to suc-
ceed ; but the Puritans, including MM. Pacheco,
Lozano, Nocedal, Lorente, &c., were considered to
have scarcely any chance. The general opinion was
that the ministry would have a large majority in the
Cortes.
M. Henderson had already several conferences with
M. Mon, which were said to have been satisfactory,
and to have given him hopes of success. The funds
for the payment of the half-year's interest of the
Three per Cents., due in January last, had been already
deposited in the Bank of St. Ferdinand, and were to
have been immediately sent to Paris and London.
Private letters from Lisbon stated that Colonel
Wilde had already several interviews with Marshal
Soldanha and Count Das Antos, and hoped to con-
