LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

THE FRENCH CIRCULAR.

The Nord, after analysing the circular issued from
the French Foreign-office, says :
The conclusion of the circular presents a striking con-
trast to what precedes, and one is surprised to find
projects of military reorganisation following pacific
premises. " The result of the late war," says M. de Lava-
lette, " points out the necessity of perfecting without
delay for the defence of the country our military °manias-
tion." Is this the logical result of the acquisition of the
three powerful allies which the Minister of Foreign Affairs
refers to in the first part of his circular ? Does It
not seem strange that after having proved that France
sill henceforward be surrounded by friends, the Minister
should proclaim the urgent necessity of re-organising the
milituy system with a view to the defense of
French territory. The Eastern enaction does not seem
to inspire the French government with any disquietude-
We should like to participate in this frilling of security,
but we confess that M. de Lavalette himself has shaken
our repose with the military element which has slipped
into his despatch.

NORTHERN RAILWAY OF BUENOS AYRES.

After our report left yesterday, a lengthened
discussion followed, principally of a personal character,
and eventually
Mr. COLE moved an amendment that a committee of
investigation be appointed.
Mr. LEvERSON seconded the amendment, which was put
and lost by a large majority, only four hands being held
up for it.
In reply to a question,
The CHAIRMAN said one of the members of the com-
mittee appointed by the Buenos Ayres government to
examine the accounts was absent, which had caused a
delay.
The motion for the adoption of the report was then put
and carried by 22 to 6.
Mr. MORFUS then moved the re-appointment of Mr.
W. H. Spratt as auditor ; a SHAREHOLDER moved the re-
appointment of Mr. J. H. Robson as auditor ; and Mr.
COLE moved the appointment of Mr. Roby as auditor.
On a show of hands, the two former were elected by a
large majority.
On the motion of Mr. MORRIS, a series of resolutions
were then agreed to, increasing the number of directors to
five.
After which, Sir W. Lees, Mr. Strawbridge, and Mr. W.
Morris were elected directors.
Mr. MORRIS suggested that a few of the principal share-
holders should meet the board, in order to take measures
to secure sufficient money being advanced on debentures to
pa the creditors, and

THE GOVERNMENT CIRCULAR.
COMMENTS OF THE PRESS.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

PARIS, MONDAY EVINIIIO.
All the evening papers have comments upon the
highly important diplomatic circular in this morn-
ing's Moniteur. Before giving quotations from
the independent journals (what the semi-official
prints say is merely butter upon bacon and little
worth notice), I will offer only two observations
which strike me. First it is dated Sept. 16, only
yesterday—a fact which, when taken in connexion
with the opening averment that the "Emperor's
government could no longer delay expressing its
views on the subject of the events taking place in
Germany," and the almost universal custom
to delay the publication of diplomatic
documents of this importance till some
time after their date, is strong corroborative evi-
dence of the reports that this circular was framed
with extreme difficulty, that it was re-written many
times, and that M. Drouyn de Lhuys left office
because, after repeatedly trying his hand, he,
though facile princeps in such compositions, could
not frame a manifesto to the Emperor's satisfac-
tion. Secondly, that while reference is made to
every other power in Europe England is not men-
tioned or alluded to.
The Temps says :
The circular is eminently pacific, and a complete satin
fide accorded to Prussian aggrandisement. We have no
doubt that it will universally produce an immense sense_
Lion, and will be particularly well received in Germany. It
is more thane frank and hearty acceptation of "accomplished
facts ;" it is a justification of them—albeit they have evi-
dently outstripped the original views, or to speak, perhaps,
more accurately, the original desires of our government
expressed in the memorable letter to M. Drouyn do Lhuys.
It amounts to a new theory of Europe and the world, based
upon accomplished facts. . . . The circular over-rides
the treaty of Nikolsbnrg, and gives it clearly to be under
stood that on the day when Prussia shall push her con-
quest south of the Main, France will not be very sorry,
because an irresistible impulse, which may be
called providential, urges peoples to form great age°.
=orations, and to do away with secondary states.
. . Francs has not, we take leave to observe,
been so entirely isolated in the world as the circu.
lar represents. Not to speak of the English
&Hance, of which, by the way, it says nothing, we know
that the Restoration entertained a not unfounded hope et
recovering the Rhine frontiers by the help of • Rush=
aliases.

CRETE.-SPEECH OF THE KING OF
GREECE.

A communication from Athens, dated Sept. 6,
nye :
The excitement canoed by the disturbances in Crete has
been greatly increased by the speech which the King of
Greece addressed to the ministers of the forei3n powers •
" Turkey," said his Majesty, " has driven the Christian
population to revolt in consequence of her violation of
treaties. As for me, I cannot prevent my subjects from
giving aid to their brethern in distress. Even had I
the power to do so, I could not forget that I am
not only King of Greece, but of all the Helleaos. I should
rather return to Denmark than disavow the duties which
my position imposes on me. From the beginning J.,' the
movement in Crete I proclaimed our neutrality and ordered
my subjects to faithfully observe the treaties. Yet Turkey
has violated these same treaties in regard to the Christians,
Mid neither I nor the Greeks can be responsible for the
regatc" This speech, and the addresses of the Cretan
Assembly and Epirots, which have been published in
the Athenian journals, !WI) greatly agitated the people.

The removal of large numbers of troops to Sicily,
on account of the war with' Austria, has increased
the activity of the brigands, especially in the pro-

swelled by 2,000 fugitives who had evaded the last
conscriptions. On the night of Saturday last
several bands entered the city of Palermo, where
they were encountered by the military. A con-

VIZ 811701111 BILL.

The Time/ thia morning attacks the government Reform
Bill in two leading articles. In the first it urges the
necessity of investimo jog. during the next month,
the local peculiarities and effects of the measure, as the
question is not one of aggregates. When the increase is
so local and so exceptional, the significance also must be
exceptional and local. The Times names 16 boroughs in
which it contend; under existing arrangements in other
respects, any interference whatever is perfectly gratuitous.
What is proposed by the bill in its present naked farm is to
ad,' numbers to numbers, and poverty to poverty ; to add
new divisors to those who have too little to divide,
and new claimants to those whose only thought
is to divide a spoil. The error, too, of doing first
what is to be immediately afterwards undone, giving the
franchise to men who are afterwards to be deprived of it,
is sot merely a logical, hie a practirml.and political blunder.
The Tina therefore insists upon the necessity of passing
• complete reform measure now, when passions are qui-
escent. It desires a complete bill far the same reason
which led Lord John Bussall in 1832 to congratulate the
Home of Gammons that the Lords had passed the bill at
mutilated, became if only a part of the measure had bass
carried it would have led to new agitations and more AD.
lent commotion&

The Herald declares that it it so insult to the good see

of parratneat and the feeling of the country that swab a
boggled steel one-sided bill, based evidently on the attempt
to reconcile the condictine opinions of the moderate and
extreme members of the cabinet which fathers it, should
have been laid before the house se the ministerial measure
of reform. It is impossible that sash a measure can be
fairly discussed so losg as we are ignorant of the farther
instalment of reform which is promised to us by govern-
meat, of which we know not whether it will compen-
sate the evils of the present bill or aggravate them.
According to general opinion the oop►hold and leasehold
proprietors within the limits of boroughs, when added to
the freeholders, will utterly swamp the agricultural con-
etitnencies ; and this should suffice by itaelt to iosure the
indignaat rejection of the scheme.
The TetegrapA thinks that to calm observers It is grow-
lag
clear that the Reform Bill will become law. It
is received by that party in the house and in the country
which bee the power to atfores it, as a just equation of
editing amenities aeddemsads. The foot of one 'action
procounelag it less than they bad hoped, and another de-
°mooing it as worse than the worst they had dreaded,
only proves that it beers a judicious middle relation to
the opinions of the day, and to will therefore prevail.

I Sir G. GREY said it would be necessary for the Privy

DOCKYARD ARTISANS' FRANCHISE..

.
Ms, OTWAY asked the ChaseeDor of the Exchequer
whether he would object to subetitate for the clause in the
Bill for the Representation of the People which would de-
prive the arthans in her Majesty's dockyards of the fran-
chise, one enabling those *Mimes to give their votes by
billet. The bor. gent!emaa further inquired whether the
didranthisemeet orojond to be inflicted on the artisan
would be extended to aU officers on full pay in the towns
is which dockyards were situated.
The CHANCELLOR of the =MINCER said that,
with reference to the latter part of the question. theolauses
of the bill sufficiently defined the class of persona to
whom it would apply ; sad es respected the former part,
he was boned to say that, even if government were prepared
to admit the principle of secret voting, the case of the
dockyard men was the lost to whom it ought to apply,
the object being not to protect the artisans against undue
inflames, but the members who represented them.

brought so this county, end tbeir removal into the interior.
The government bed not yet had time to enmitier the sub-
ject sufficiently to enable them to flame a bill, and probably

Earl GRANVILLE sail if the reported misconduct of
soy magistrate was brought before the Lord Chancellor it
would he for him to madder whether that Inieoonduot was
such th►t he must take the Dame of that magistrate off the
communion of the peace. but he believed it was sot usual
for the lord Chancellor to take action in say such wttter

ties were instituted he was sure his noble and learned friend
the Lord Chancellor would confider it his duty to take the

aright think it his duty to take under the circumstances.
Then °cold he DO doubt that the rules and refolationsiesued

Yesterday a second meeting of the directors of

cussed of offering so the government a loan of 200
to 250 million lire, to be issued at par, bearing 5
per cent. iutorest, and redeemable in 15 years. It
was resolved to contract this loan only upon the
condition that the next budget should show a
balance of revenue and expenditure. It was
further decided to petition parliament for a speedy
vote upon the financial schemes now under discus-
sion in the Chamber, and to call upon the Na-
tional Association for voluntarily Redeeming the
Public Debt to subscribe a portion of the loan.

PRUSSIA.
BERLIN, Liam 211._

The semi-official Novi/aka CorvesPoncietu pub-
lishes an article in which, after pointing out the
dangers Prussia may incur from the Austrian arma-
ments, it says :—" We conclude from this precarious
state of things that, with the object of energetically
providing against attack, orders may have already
been given to take snob military measures as may
be indispensable.*
Private communications from Vienna assert that
Austria has determined to put an end to the pro-
visional state of affairs in the Duchies, and that, if
steelentry, she will propose that the question should
be referred to an European congress.
Prussia bus forwarded a circular despatch to the
minor German States, laying stress upon the in-
sufficiency of an appeal to the Federal Diet to settle
the present conflict. The despatch further paints
out the necessity of the various States taking np a
definite position upon one side or the other in the
struggle which the armaments of Austria seem to
render more and more imminent. The note accuses
Austria of having violated the convention of Gas-
tein, and assumed a threatening attitude. It ex-
' presses doubts of the power of the Confederate
States to carry out their good intentions towards
Pruda in the defective state of the Federal mill-
tary organization, and points out the necessity
which has arisen for introducing a reform of the
present system.
The despatch concludes as follows :—" It is
urgent for Prussia to know If, and to what extent,
she may rely upon assistance in case she should be
attacked by Austria, or forced into war by =mix-
takeable maisaces."

THE MASSACRE OP PROTESTANTS AT

BARLETTA.

The correspondent of the Temps at Naples
supplies SOME additional particulars respecting this de-
plorable affair.
The evangelists of Barletta (be says) amount to 70 or 80
in number, amongst whom are 10 or 12 foreigners. They
were peaceable, and hired a house for the purpose of
religious worship. From all that I hare heard, they oer-
tainly gave no provocation for the attack which was made
upon them. During the whole w:nter the priests
thundered against them ; they were called from the
pulpits peels and Aeries of heaven." It is pretty clear
that a formal conspiracy was organised some days before
the 19th of March, the Feast of St. Joseph, and it is (rite
certain the authorities were told on the previous day, Sun-
day, the 18th, and on the morning of Monday, " that
something would happen to the protestants." The autho-
rities, however, seem to have taken no precautionary
steps, and the National Guard were not called
out. Os St. Joseph's Day several sermons were preached
in which the "pests" were refined to, Canon Postighooe
appearing to be foremost in stimalatieg the fanaticism of
his hearers. On leaving the churches about half-past las
excited crowd proceeded to the house where the evangeli-
cals were assembled. They sacked the house and killed
three persons, amongst whom was a monk who bad become
a protestant. A fire was kindled in the street with the
furniture of the house, and the three dead bodies
were brought out and Bung Into the flames. The
infuriated crowd then directed themselves upon other
points, acid ire more persons are reported as killed. The
erica of the mob ware most disoardant : " Long live Jesus !"
"Long live the Faith!" "Long live Garibaldi I" "Down
with the sub-prefect ! " "Down with taxes!" The sub-
prefect saved himself with difficulty by getting on the reef
of hie own home.

health reforms must rest, and it would-be futile to
discuss the modus operandi of these reforms until
it is determined by whom they ass to be carried
out. Practically it may be taken for granted that
the present system of parochial management has
been tried and found wanting ; and the neces-
sity of converting London into a sole munici-
pality, or at least of having its affairs directed by
one central council, is beginning to be gene-
rally perceived. Let this one step be taken,
and uniform rating, an improved water
supply, and proper regulations for the house
accommodation of the poor will soon follow.
In the heat of parliamentary conflict these
purely domestic questions are cast into the back-
ground, but there are ample indications of a salu-
tary change in this respect, and the advent of an
era of wise social legislation may be calculated
upon with fairer hopes of realization than at any
period within our recollection.
