inelsiesealestisiontetwkien will become pqahis male late
daspesmbee. Tbsannonneement of the mama for fhb lean'
was so sudden that the French cabinet had no time to recon-
noitre, and the eapitalista having declared to him that it was
impossible tom them to think of a French loan until the
English loan wee pnid up, M. Leave-Laplagne was com-
?died to peelpese his.
A long communication from M. Eynard on the
subject of the Greek loan is published in the Debate,
but without one word of comment from that cautious
journal. The gist of M. Eynard's case is easily stated.
He is willing to pay 20,0401. for the Greek go-
vernment, provided that England will ask no more at
present, and consent to come to some compromise
in conjunction with the other protecting powers
which may enable the Greek government to work on
for a while and get time to pay her debt. But he
will not pay this instalment if England is determined
to compel the payment of the next gale's interest,
due on Wednesday next. He complains that Lord
Palmerston would not negotiate with him,or, in other
words, treat him as the plenipotentiary of Greece,
and he makes a piteous appeal to the editor of the
Debate to procure him an answer to his repeated ap-
plications to the English minister. The Debate says—
nothing.
The Chevalier Ruffo, minister of the Bey of Tunis,
has arrived in Paris on a political mission.
The Praslin affair continues to engross the attention
of the public almost to the exclusion of everything
else. .Vi'e have selected such further information con-
nected with it from the enormous mass which filled
the twenty journals of Paris on Friday and Saturday,
as Deems to be best authenticated, and most likely to
interest the English public. But, apart from the mere
facts as they have been developed, a serious polemic
has arisen among the journals as to the legal position
to be assigned to the late Duke de Praslin in the affair.
In the eye of the law he is an innocent man. He was
not, as has been erroneously affirmed, takeninfiagrante
delicto. Ile died untried, and denying his guilt
to the last. All men are deemed innocent until
they have been pronounced guilty by a competent
tribunal. Accusation also ceases when the accused
has passed from the hands of justice into those of his
maker. Yet the body of the duke has not been dealt
with as would have been that of an innocent man!
Behold the dilemma! The question has been treated
with so much clearness and ability in the columns of
the National, that we will transfer to ours a portion
of its observations and reasoning. The 2t (aimed
replies to some animadversions upon it which ap-
peared in the Debate:
When we maintain that the Duke de Prune is dead fee
having been suspected, what crime do we commit? Is it
not, on the contrary, a pure homage rendered to that exqui-
site morality which is the inseparable companion of a great
name and pure blood ? And we are accused of evincing ME
inveteracy over his dead body ! Whereas, armed with the
maxims of jurisprudence, we alone proclaim that legally the
man has died innocent! Where are the judges, where me
the proceedings in the courts of justice, where the sentence
announcing his criminality ? Ile has not escaped justice, we
are told—he has forestalled it! Such is the language which
a rhetorician would use ; bat rhetorical language dies not
prevail against the holy provisions of the criminal law;
rhetorical turns will not make M. de Praslin a man
judged and condemned it may found itself on the com-
mencement of proof to declare him e murderer ; the answer
may be given that there are no proofs when the accused has
contradicted them : a matter was affirmed, but he denied it
to the very last moment. What, then, remains against
him ? The firm conviction of the law-officers engaged in
the case, the public cry, the universal horror! Heap up as
much as you please these vanities of public opinion, the time
will come when they will be treated as the presumptions of
ignorance and error. Overwhelmed at present with the
weight of public indignation, you dare not place yourself
en legal ground. It is, however, the only firm position, and
you will come to it at last. The culminating point of this
death, occurring as it did at the very moment, is, that all
accusation of murder diaappears—judgment is impossible—
the justice of men is replaced by that of God—M. de Praslin
remains a duke and peer of France, with the honour of not
having been able to support an infamous calumny. That is
the moral side of this affair on which we insist. And if, un-
fortunately, we accepted the hypothesis put forward, of a
suicide, a poisoning by arsenic, we should find ourselves en-
gaged in a discussion absolutely overwhelming for the Pro-
cureur-Geniral, for the police, for the medical men. What!
the Debate has itself related, after a law journal, that M.
Delangle' addressing the Duke de Praslin, until that moment
perfectly calm, said to him " Monsieur le i)uc, do not an-
swer me like a convict ; avow the truth ; you owe it to the
honour of your family; acknowledge that you murdered
your wife.' At these words the complexion of the peer of
France became cadaverous; and it was at that mo-
ment, add the Droit and the Debate, that he went to
his room to swallow the deadly mixture of laudanum
end arsenic! Is it possible to believe such a re-
cital? What! the ProcureurGhieral entertains sufficiently
grave suspicions to address the duke in such sttong language,
and yet he allows him to proceed to his chamber to swallow
poison ! What an insult to M. Delangle ! He is represented
as an awkward bully, who, after baying said to this man :
" You are the murderer !" does not secure his person, does
not subject him toe rigorous surveillance, but lets him go off
to commit suicide ! Is that credible ? And then listen to
what follows - The suicide has taken place—the arsenic has
entered into the body—the symptoms make their appear-
ance—several medical men, passing for verzndskilful persons,
and amongst the rest M. Louis and M. An , are prevent:
not one of them fur a moment thinks of arsenic, or of 'Weide.
M. Louis was of our opinion : moral emotion, agitation, and
a conscience deeply wounded, are too much for the physical
force of the duke. "It is the cholera," said M. Louis, and
the others repeat the word, "it is the cholera." Iced
wine is given—the refrigerant method is employed ! Is
all this credible? Surely the whole is • jest! A Preen-
reur•Of neral, convinced that he sees a murderer, appeals
to him, and then allows him to go to his room! An expe-
rienced physician, seeing the effects of arsenic so prompt,
so unmistakeable, takes all that for a moral emotion, which
is to be calmed down with ice ? And the Debate flings in
our face each impossibilities! It does not appear to doubt
that it throws on M. Delangle the most cruel responsibility,
that it represents M. Louis either as a stupid know-
nothing or the accomplice of a murder! And when we
refuse to regard as true these circumstances, so deeply
condemnatory of a law-officer of the crown and a medical
man, we are attacked as drinkers of blood ! Were we a
duke and chevalier d'honneur, we could not receive more
abuse! No, no, do not obetinately persist in so pitiable •
fable : suicide, there is none we cannot predicate the same
of the murder, for It is unfortunately but too true. Yes, a
woman, the mother of nine children, was surprised in the
night-time, struck, contused, and hacked to pieces • a ter-
rible struggle took place—the walls, the furniture, the cur-
tains, the floor, bear the dreadful proofs of it : the chamber
of this duchess is transformed into a shambles ; yea, her
husband was suspected of having wanted to employ a cord to
strangle her, and to have afterwards made use of a poignard
and a plitol . he was suspected, we must allow, with some
apparent proofs: but he was a duke, and peer—he was a
chevalier d'honneur, and these suspicions shook him, and
shattered his nervous system; indignation and grief were too
much for him : he died in prison, before competent justice
was able to throw light on the matter. What then remains ?
An infernal crime; and by the side of the crime the legal
doubt as to the perpetrator; and in the doubt, hie innocence!
The innocence of the Duke de Praslin !

The annual session of the Conseil; Genera= will
open in a few days. Two ministerial circulars hare
been addressed to the members of the council—one on
the food question, and the other on the establishment
of agricultural schools. " These two questions," says
the Disbata "are naturally allied ; for it is easy to see
that upon the proficiency of the cultivator depends the
boanty of the harvest—as the old aduge says, tant
rant Chomme, tant rant la terre.

The Madrid mails of the 23rd have been received,
with a mass of letters, including that of our own
correspondent, in all of which we find almost as
many different statements of facts, and anticipations
of the future, as there are individual writers. Some
anticipate the conversion of Narvaez to the progre-
sistas ; others predict a coalition ; some await a
moderado cabinet; while others forebode a military
dictatorship, fusillades, and the suspension of the
laws. It had at length become known that Narvaez
was coming, and, what is more, coming by the express
desire of M. Pacheco. General Ras de Olano, on this
being known, had started in all haste to meet the
Duke of Valencia, and to forestall a conference
with him. According to one correspondent, the
recall of Narvaez was effected by Pacheco without
0r.7 sins:: Via. tha
latter despatched Roe' do Olano " without doubt
to 'make conditions on the part of Salamanca."
According to another, Ros de Olano, the bosom friend
of General Serrano, went to meet Narvaez by the de-
sire of the "favourite," by whose advice and influ-
ence, and not those of Pacheco, the ambassador was
recalled. According to this informant, Narvaez and
Serrano have coalesced, and are about to become mas-
tars of the situation. This alliance. it is affirmed, has
been long under negotiation. It was this which
brought the deputy. Saragossa, to Paris, as well as
Gonzales Bravo and the financier Caripiri.
A light is borrowed for these complications by the
tone assumed by the various journals in regard to
Narvaez. It is observed that the journals generally,
both progresista and mode's do, oppose Narvaez, with
the sole exception of the Herald°. It is affirmed that
General Serrano has been besought by the present
cabinet to quit Madrid, that step being essential to the
solution of the palace question, as it is called : and a

cormspoedent of the Constitutionnel asserts that the
general will, perhaps,, concede this to Nunez. A
correspondent of Galignani says that the real cause
of the recall of Narvaez is the financial difficulties
which none but he can surmount. It is pretended
that M. Rothschild has pledged himself tomake a loan
of large amount, provided Nunez is placed at the
head of affairs.
Some correspondents more than insinuate that the
Queen is enceinte, that the actual government knows
it, and that therefore the settlement of the palace
question before the expiration of four months is in-
dispensable.
Advice. from the Spanish frontier say that Monte-
molinist bands of considerable strength continue to
show themselves in all parts of Catalonia. The num-
bers composing each of them amount from 300 to 000,
and sometimes even 700. Letters from Madrid also
say that Andalusia is in a disturbed state.

The indignation produced by the measures adopted
by the Austrian military authorities against the inde-
pendent sovereignty of Pius IX. is not confined to the
Italian people. It begins to be shared by the princes
and governmen'a in whose hands the destiniea of Italy
ate placed. Advices from Turin of the 22nd say that
King Charles Albert has formally protested against
the occupation of Ferrara, and that this protestation
has been transmitted to all the powers. His Majesty
is also reported to have written to the Pope, placing
at the disposition of his Holiness the army and navy
of Sardinia, in case the independence of the papal
sovereignty shall be attacked by Austria. It is im-
possible (say these letters) to convey an adequate
idea of the enthusiasm produced by this announce-
ment. A general illumination was suggested on the
22nd; but as the publication of the protest was ex-
pected the next day, it was postponed.
Letters from Forli of the 18th say that an address
was voted by the municipality of that place to the
pro-legate, similar to those already voted at Ravenna
and Faenza, declaring that the people are ready to
sacrifice their lives and properties in defence of the
rights of the Sovereign Pontiff.
Further indications of liberal tendencies on the
part of the King of Naples are mentioned. The
Roman journals hitherto interdicted have been re-
cently admitted in Naples; and the Marquis of
Azeglio, a Sardinian noble of liberal principles, who
was refused a passport to visit Naples, bas received
an intimation that he is free to go there.
The report which was brought by the last advices
from Marseilles, to the effect that the Austrian troops
had withdrawn from the city of Ferrara into the cita-
del is unhappily contradicted by later and more cor-
rect intelligence. The Journal of Leghorn of the 20th
has been received, with advice from Rome and Fer-
rare. The occupation of the latter city and the con-1
eequent excitement of the people, not only of that,
but other places, continued. The insolence of the
Austrians was unabated. Confident in their force and
numbers, they heaped insult on insult. Four thou-
sand men had marched from Milan to the Roman
frontier. Quarters were prepared, and fuel and pro-
visions purchased, for several thousand. On the 16th
eight pontifical dragoons arrived at Ferrara and were
refused admission at the gates, which were guarded
by Austrian soldiers. An inhabitant of the city, de-
siring to go out on a shooting excursion, was turned
back at the gates. The Austrians never venture to
appear singly in the streets. They move about in
parties or squadrons. A deputation of citizens pre-
sented themselves to the legate to express their grati-
tude for his firmness, and to assure him that they
would rather see their city razed to the ground than
surrendered to the Austrians.

At a meeting of citizens, held at Rome,-Count
Ferretti, the brother of the Cardinal Secretary of
State declared, amidst shouts of applause, that the
government of the Pope was ready to support its
rights "by every practicable means, and even to the
last extremity. At a meeting of the Cardinals the
Pope said, alluding to the late abortive plots : " Since
an open game is now played, my course is clear and
lam at ease." On leaving the meeting his holiness
was observed to have a serene and even cheerful ex-
' pression of countenance, and observed to one who
waited to receive orders, "Take your measures; be-
seech the people to be tranquil; our enemies will be
confronted"—(scornati).
The post of the national guard at the Austrian
embassy was doubled.
A letter from Rome, of the 16th, quoted by the
Augsburg Gazette, says, that the 4th battalion of the
national guard were paraded in the gardens of the
Villa Borghese, after which they were entertained at
a dejedner by their colonel, the Prince Borghese.
The haute noblesse of Rome fraternised on this occa-
sion with the citizens composing the guard, amidst
shoutiof " Viva Pio Nono ; Viva Il Principe Bor-
ghese,"

The executive government of the Swiss Confederacy
have proceeded to carry into effeet the resolutions of
the diet against the Sonderband. All the officers of
the federal military service, who have acknowledged
their determination to enter the service of the Sender-
blind, have been cashiered. The revision of the pact
has been confided to a committee of the diet, but the
details of the measure, and the conditions and terms
of the amended pact, will not be prepared for a month
to come. In the meanwhile the cantonal authorities
will assemble to decide what measures of compulsory
execution their delegates will be instructed to advo-
cate in the diet. In fact this last is the only goes-
tion now undecided. Notwithstanding the injunc-
tions of the diet, the cantons of the league are actively
carrying on the fortifications and other military pre-
parations. The canton of Schwyz declares that it
will take severe reprisals for the convoys of arms and
ammunition which were seized, in transitu, by the
canton of Tessin, although such seizure was approved
and sanctioned by the diet.
At the meeting of the diet on the 24th inst., an in-
cident is reported, which throws a strong light on the
bitterness of the prevailing intercantonal animosities.
The deputy of Lucerne, having committed what the
chairman of the diet considered a breach of order,
was called to order in the way customary in all as-
semblies in all civilised countries. The deputy im-
mediately declared that he would not submit to the
dictation of the president. The latter, not desiring to
surrender in his person the prerogative of the chair,
put the question to the assembly, which by a consi-
derable majority declared that the deputy of Lucerne
was out of order. The deputy of Lucerne, however,
declared that he would submit as little to the majority
of the diet as to its president.

MADRID, Alto. 23.
The cabinet still floats, albeit a dead inert hall,
driffting no one knows whither. On the palace question,
which it promised to solve or go out, it has come to a dead
lock. Its blunders have rendered the amicable hone, always
improbable, now utterly impracticable. Still, the ministers
refuse to budge. Pacheco, resolved upon excluding the pro-
gresistas from power, fraternises with the ultra-moderados,
of whom, in opposition, he was the scourge and terror, end
is striving might and main to second them in their design
of getting the oortes summoned, in which the large moderado
majority would infallibly float that party into power.
Salamanca relishes the idea of meeting the legislative
body about as much as a cat relishes the prospect
of a cold bath. Therefore the financier and the
pontiff of the puritans (as the president of the council is
nicknamed) are not on the best of terms. In proportion as
Pacheco countenances the moderados, Salamanca coquets
with the progresistas. Which of these rival ministerial in.
flumes will tramph is not at the moment very clear. The
latter has the court on his side, however, and if he wins the
day, there is at the present moment more probability of a
coalition with the liberals than of a Salamanquist puritan
cabinet, which in proportion to the favour it enjoyed at
court would lose credit with the corntry. A coalition
ministry into which progresiatas entered in any farce would
dissolve the oortes forthwith, for in the present the maxi-
mum number of liberal votes is only 60. Meanwhile, the
moderado organs taunt the liberals with their unconstitu-
tional objections to the immediate convocation of the delibe-
/alive body.
The wisdom of Salamanca in applying his treasury-bills to
the payment of the bank's debt is very generally applauded.
Tr:ie.:aro dates incorrectly tam bank villgive up ;One
of the government securities it holds in consequence of this
transaction. For the treasury hills biung guaranteed by 140
millioaa in bills of the purchasers of national property, and
being accepted in payment of taxes, no further security is
needed ; and a great part of those which are deposited in
the bank will be restored to the government. Among not
the least important of these recovered securities are the bills
of the purchasers of the estates of the military orders, whose
nominal value amounts to 400 or 600 millions, according to
triamar,a, y?,11.t. depooita.;.' covered 65 millions of
the hank's claim.
In the meetings held for this purpose the bank has al-
ready negotiated treasury bills to the amount ef thirty mil-
lions of reels, and closed its list of subscribers The capi-
talists will have to deliver the cash in three portions, the
first down on the nail, the second at 15 days, and the 3rd at
30 days.
The forger of the San Fernando notes has been detected,
and was arrested by the polies at Valencia on the 17th. He
is an engraver. In the house of his apprentice the copper•
plate which furnished some et the false notes was found,
together with notes for the amount of four millions of reels,
the greater part of 4,000 each. The son of this engraver has

been welted at Madrid. Two diligence' laden with specie
arrived at the Bank of San Fernando on Saturday. The mail-
diligence was robbed betweea Valenti& and Barcelona, at
Vendrell, on the 17th, and the passengers relieved of 3,000
real.

FRANCE.—Fitts TRA DE MEETING AT MARSEILLES.
—The free trade movement in France has received a fresh
impulse—the fair sex have taken up the subject. Ott Tuft-
day last a full meeting was held at Maneillee, a great pro-
portion of which consisted of ladies, who listened with the
utmost attention to the speeches. M. Luce, the president
of the free trade society presided on the occasion, and the
assembly was addressed by M. Frederic Bastrat (whose
writings and exertions in the cause have gained for him the
appellation of the Cobden of France), Lemartine, M.
Estrazsgin, and M. Reybaud, the deputy of Mar,eilles.
The speeches appear to have made a great effect upon the
auditors. "Marseille (1r,": the Sbnaphore) will long
cherish a remembrance of this meeting, at which the spirit of
patriotism could not have descended upon a more sympa-
thising audience, through the medium of more eloquent and
honoured °ratan."
ITALY.—RO3LE, AUG. 18.—The government of the
little republic of St. Marino has followed the example of the
Grand Duke of Tuscany. The commission requested to
prepare a new penal code has received orders to suppress the
=aunt of death, and to replace it by other penalties.—
BELGlUM.—Bncesece, Aco. 6.—The Moniteur
of this day publishes a royal decree of the 2.5 th, which pro-
longs the free entry of cattle till the Ist of March, 1848.
This decree is preceded by the following report to the King :
Sire,—By decrees of the 7th March and the 28th June of this year,
your majesty, employing the power which gives to the government
the laws of the 22nd Nov., 1840, and of the 6th May, 1847, has per-
mitted the free entry of cattle by all the frontiers motet that of
Luxembourg. This measure which was called for by the insufficiency '
and the dearness of provisions, has not been without its result.

shall give agricultural industry every liberty of action.-The Minister
of the Interior, Hewett ; the Minister of Finance, Venn.
HOLLAND. THE HAGUE, At:o. 26. The
Deutsche Zeituv, says the Journal de to Hoye, still conti-
nues its absurd reports respecting the journey of the King,
the establishment of a regency, the refusal of the Prince of
Orange to take upon himself this regency, &c. These asser-
tions plainly prove that the Deutsche Zeitung is not well
informed respecting the actual state of the country. Uit
were better informed it would know that the constitutional
fictions of other states do not exist among us. They would
know that in the Netherlands the king reigns and governs,
and that the ministers of his Majesty have neither to propose
nor defend a system beforehand, and submit it by way of
preamble to the enlightened and impartial judgment of the
gentlemen of the doily press.
AUG. 27.—Intelligence has been received from
Surinam to the 15th of May. The colony had just been
visited by Count Castclnau, the adventurous explorer of
Brazil. The count is charged by the French government to
examine the state of the Dutch colony on the banks of the
Saramacea, and is accompanied by the commander of the
Netherlands brig De Snielhait, by Major Eeg. the officers
of the Casembrool, &c. He went to M. Branded', the direc-
tor of the colony, on the morning of his arrival. Count
Castelnau procured a minute account of all the particulars
concerning the colony, inspected everything in person, and
expressed his admiration to the director at the perseverence
and zeal with which, in so abort a time, and under such divas-
true.s circumstances, such great and important things bad
bean effected. The director gave him the work of M. Sloet-
tot Oldhuis, on the administration, the economy, and
the statistics of the colony. The officers of the Dutch
, marine and of the French brig, who accompanied
the count were no less surprised than he was, at everything
they saw in the establishment, and of the favourable state of
the colony. The persons in the establishment on the Sara-
, sues and at Surinam heard with the most lively interest
, that a plan of a society for emigration to the colonies had
been formed in the metropolis, and that it was the general
opinion that if a certain number of wealthy agriculturists
would settle in Dutch Guiana it would soon arrive at such a
' state of prosperity that they might be able to give employ
for the labourers of the maropolis.
Bois-LE-Dm, Atm. 27.—The trade between this
place and England increases daily. The exports consist
principally of cattle and butter. Yesterday, the steamers for
Rotterdam and Schiedam were unable to receive the
immense quantity of these articles brought to be shipped,
and many waggons had to return with their loads. Many
of our agriculturists and breeders of cattle are making large
profits, especially those who are their own factors and
accompany the cattle to England.
GERMANY.—PRUSSIA.—BERLIN, Aug. 26.
TUE PuLISH TitlALS.—The note-worthy incidents in these
proceedings on the 23rd and 24th inst. were few. On the
23rd it was made matter of accusation against Clemens von
Bislowski that he had revolutionary publications in his pea-
session and a large collection of statistics. The counsel for
the accused replied that, as he had a library of 800 volumes,
it was possible that there might be books in it which the
counsel for the crown might think revolutionary. As to the
statistical collection, his client had been thanked for his
labours in making it from the principal agriculturists of the
country. Oa the 24th the counsel for the crown concluded
the case against Sokalnieki, Bialowaki, Radanaki, Szaldroki,
and Poninski, by asking a sentence of guilty against all five.
GOETRE'S BETTINA.—A correspondent of the
Spectator gives a version of the cause which led to the im-
prisonment of the Baroness Von Arnim, which altogether
differs from that published in the German papers, quoted by
ns on Saturday. It is as follows:
This Lady hos for many years devoted her literary talents to advo-
cating the cause of the distressed artisan and labourer in those re-
' mote provinces which are scarcely known to the public inhabitents of
• the metropolis except from the garbled &peewits of revolt and
mnl-
lary given by the newspapers. Her shrewd and simple eras-
ion led her at once to trace the muse of much of this misery
' to the veil which the despotism of the police throw over the true pie-
. tare; and she sought to promote an inquiry into details, on a modified
, scale, In the matter-of-fact manner of those investigations which pro.
• dozed many recent social reforms in England. Manyyming men who
undertook the mission were criminally prosecuted, and exposed to
such persecution that they were forced to abandon the task. She has
been involved in a direct squabble with the Berbn magetrates, and the
, court, under the mantle of legal decision, has the satisfaction of
avenging itself of many a bitter truth she has uttered. This singular
woman, who is now advanced in years, puts manly writers to shame

AUSTRIA.—A Vienna letter states that Szedlak,
the chief of the peasants who had taken part with the Aus-
trians against the Polish nobility in Galicia, has received
' a gold medal from the emperor as a reward for bit conduct.
BRAZIL The Rattler is the bearer of the
Jornalr do Commercio of Rio de Janeiro of the 26th and
28th June and 23rd July, at which date the exchange was
274 funds, 83 per cent. ex. die. The Peterel, which arrived
out the day the Curacos sailed, took her departure from Rio
rid Bailie and Pernambuco on the Ilth July. Those papers
contain no news whatever respecting the itagotiations in the
' River Plate. A Frenchman, by num, Yep, had murdered
his wife, from jcaloasy, and attempsei is pins himself; but
it did not take effect, and he subsume* iollesred himself
up to the police.
