hash Earl GMT and hie colleagues, and the I
Doke of WeLLINGTON was Obliged to State
the colours of Toryism in the House 4 Lords. A I
parenthetical exception is made, indeed, in term of
what may be called the claims of the commercial
magnates. We are informed that there are not a
ssmeient number of great monied men in the House
of Commons,—that a few more millowEers, bankers,
and brewers might be an improvement; they are ;
declared to be a perfectly safe and docile element,
and some provision ought to be made foe increasing
their strength in Parliament. Bat as for conceding
wilting whatever to mere intellect or mere ia-
dnetry, working loyalty sr moral worth, the notion
is not even hinted at in the maihsto of the
ItENDON•CLANIIICARDI ladies. If the =same about '
to be produced by Lord DERBY be in deardesse
with the mending and darning principles d striae i
finality thus avowed, it may as well be snowed to I
pese. Bat if it attempts to go in the lent beyond i
three principles, it ought by all mesas to be re-
jetted. The article concludes with these words :
“ The question has been already three times post.
" paned with the approbation of Parliament ; and a
...Aran delay would be preferable to a tame acquies-
" mots in an imperhet and unsatisfactory radium
" which would only lay the foundation for a renewed
"agitation of the subject at an early period." Stem
the door in the people's faces, and bolt it : such is the
"Edinburgh " order of the day.
We have not space to enter at any length into an
exposure of the multiplied misrepresentations which
the article referred to contains. To make out a cue
in latest d the adequacy of the present constitution
of Perlismaat, and of the inefficiency of that which
preceded E. a blank schedule is presented of *side,
' don for the first thirty years of the Notary, while a
mimelhmeave catalogue of good, bad, and indifildest
mows es. ell labelled " great benefits," are set down j
te the essonnt of the staboequent ported. What
dem of readers this sort of historical cariadare is
meant to deceive we are somewhat at a loss to
imagine ; bat most people now-a-days are aware
that, bad as the old borough-mongering Par-
limeet me, it abolished the Blare Trade—
it repaled the Ted and Corporation Act—
it eimemesed the great miss of tentative measures
of Free Trade ; it paned Catholic Emancipation; it
consolidated and periled the Criminal Law; and it
sanctioned the establishment of National Education
in Ireland upon neutral principles. As spinet these
great mama it were vain to set up an invidious
emparison by any enumeration of those that have
Mee been enacted ; yet they ere all coolly omitted
by the candid reviewer. Why do we recur to them ?
Amerudly sot to prove that nomination boroughs
Were advantageous or beneficial ; but simply to illus. ,
taste the hollowness of the argument as to the sem-
tansy of the existing representative system, which
it Is sought to found upon various useful things that
I have been accomplished by means of it.

Trot Newspapers have done it all ! We May paint
our public virtue en inch thick, but to this com-
plexion it must come at last. The farsighted
patriotism of the Markets will have it that " those
" carved newspapers" aro the final cease of all the
perturbations of the political atmosphere. It is the
peculiarity of men who atheist on the calculation of
surprises that they are always taken unawares by
events which to mere theoriets, and to speak Napo-
leonically, idealognes, are as susceptible of interpre-
tation as the law of storms. Perhaps the truth is
that your long-heeded friend whose business in life it
is to discount eventualities is seldom well " up" in
his premises from which he jumps to the most in-
soosevient oonclasiosia. When he comes to an
awkward fence he takes the bit in his mouth,
sod "rashes," with his ears bask and his noes
well down. Sometimes, indeed, be affects to be
a sleek in the weather offloe, and to have all
the elements of change under his controL

It is no joke when you have been going a crow
Goan try in your dreams all night, to turn out between
six and seven next morning—not to • southerly
wind and a cloudy sky, but to a base and brutal frost,
There is no cure for it but ill-temper ; anathematise
the man who calls you, and smash the barometer.
Thedisinterated and dispassionate political meteoro-
logists who fall foul of the newspapers when any-
thing untoward occurs, are for ever making their
own weather in advance and smashing the barometer
when it declines to register " set fair." One would
suppose tram the holy indignation of the practical
ass, that all the dark uncertainty with which the
sky of Europe is overcast had been crested by a gang
of cloud-compelling journalists. For the last ten
years, and Heaven knows far how many years
before our time, the Continent of Europe has suf-
fered little from exam of light or prodigality of
speech. The " practicer men have operated in
safety and silence in the midst of armies and police,
adder the shadow of despotic thrones. It was not
the journalists that created the present Empire in
France and placed the passion and the strength of
a population of thirty-six millions at the disposal of
a conspirator and a fatalist; it was not the
restlessness of public writers that provoked the
MINSCHIKOFF mission, or the passage of the
Froth ; it is not to brawlers of the press that we
owe the disasters inflicted by a mad ambition upon
civilisation and humanity; or to reckless firebrands
with pens in their heeds that the crying wrongs of
oppressed nations and the cruel tyrannies of arbi-
tray power can be ascribed. There are laws and,
eognestees, canes' sod effects, in the political ea io
the nahnil world; and in the one as in the other
essepresisa presides, but never prevents, explosion.
The conagessess of public crimes are often digni-
fied with the nese of fatalities, became the crimes
are honoured se lea( as they are successful ; yet in
tie sight of a higher wisdom, who can doubt that
the catastrophes which the actual condition of
Zerope seems to threaten are as demonstrably in-
evitable as the conclusions of • mathematical
problem of which the data are ascertained ?
But we preach to men who, if in miogoverned
states bonds are worthless, scrip so much waste
paper, finance a conspiracy, credit a wind-bag,
guarantees sad securities so many snares and
pitfall, the meaty market, like the rest of the
institution, one gnosis coveters from first to last,
danosnese banast newspapers, because honest news-
papers will est sey Pease, where there is no pew?,
and Canalises*, whom distrust is at ones a neoesiity
sad a duty. What es the data of the problem
which at this mood distracts and perplexes every
Government mod every counting-hone in Europe I'
Frazee: Austria: Italy. Surely it needs no mire-
'oleos gift of cyphering to make out the quotient In
web a simple Hale of Three sum as this. All we
my is, let the sum be worked out without appealing
to the financial genius of England. Given, a military ,
despotism hampered with rsvolutiooary traditions of
glory and conquest, and condoeted by jobbers; an ;
oppressed yet ardent and aspiring nationality grata
down by detested tyrannies, foreign and domestie.l
and panting for the inheritance of freedom which ,
five millions of their Subalpine brethren bare woe
and kept : these, no doubt, are not conditions of a

lasting rocs. Bat wie ask the creatures of panic ee
whom newspapers areas abominable 4 to soldier
salmly whether pubis writers in a free asentry
where the sensciemee decoders is the severest cen-
sorship, on fairly elmaleable with the ealamities to
which the peace and prosperity of nations are in-
oessaotly exposed by Governmenta which barely
tolerate the unbidden tongue, much less the un-
licensed pia, within the limits of their sway ? How
is it that all the signs and warnings which have
struck every Bonne with palsy proceeded from
that great patron of credit and preserver of order
and stability whom all the men of money have de-
lighted to worship as a second Providence? How
is it that all Ai. journals, official or officious, never
broke the silence of complicity until millions of
negotiable securities had changed hands; and then
after ten days' convulsion, protested—too much to
be believed—that warlike preparations and hostile
compliments meant peace and amity, and reaped for
treatise ? Every independent journal on the Conti-
nent, every influential journal is England, has un-
equivocally declared for peace. It is only in the
smells of gamblers who play with bolted doors that
conspiracies of war are idly and recklessly staked.
When in decent society we meet a notoriously " suc-
cessful" player, are we to be branded as quarrelsome
and mischievous, because we warn the company
against the shakers of loaded dice and the de►lers of
marked cards?

been condemned by sentences or decisions pronounced
up to the present day. Art. 6. The action of the
pseud law is abolished or suspended for all crimes
punishable with the first or seoond degree of punish-
ment, " °online," exile, or lines, provided they are
crimes committed before the date of this decree.
Art.B. Those are excluded from the present sove-
reign indulgence who have been accused or con-
demned for theft, for " Waits," for fraud, for simple
bankruptcy, or fraudulent failures. Such are the in-
dulgences which it has pleased thsgovernment to pub-
lish. There are others so called of which no official
notice has as yet been given. Let us examine this
amnesty a little in detail.
On Sunday afternoon, Jan. 9, the royal judge of
the district visited the prisons of Montesarchio, and
read the royal decree in the presence of all the pri-
soners. It was dated Deo. 27, and grants " grazie "
to upwards of eighty political prisoners who are
condemned to irons, on condition of perpetual exile
from the kingdom. Amongst the names of those
mentioned there are ten imprisoned in Montenrchio,
that ;is to say, Piruiti, Castromediano, Nino, Pica,
Daro, Braioo, Mollies, Palermo, Oerain, and Poerio.
After the decree the judge read a ministeriale, dated
Jan. 6, which limits the above grazia, providing
that they whose punishment was to be commuted
should be tranported to Cadiz, and thence
to such part of America es each might
choose. Lastly, they were asked if they ac-
cepted such conditions. Some replied that they
accepted the decree, but not the limitation expressed
in the ministeriale, which would be only an aggra-
vation of their sufferings, being nothing more than a
transportation to the continent of America, whereas
a man exiled perpetually from the kingdom his the
riilietry going where he wills. The decree is fact is
a commutation ; the ministeriale an illegal, a
one but thoroughly Neapolitan mode of setting
it aside. Thu after Iys ar. of imprisonment and
of punishment in the galleys, men with reined health
and paralysed in their lim are to be
some thousands of miles hence, and this is an
amnesty. I understand that others of the ' amnes-
tied' have been almost morally compelled to ask for
or to assent to the proposition of transportation ; but
what is worse than all is, that a commissary of police,
either yesterday morning or Sunday, visited the pri-
eon of S. M. Apperente, wherein are confined up-
wards of 100 men who have never been brought to
trial. By him it was intimated to these unfortunate
untried and uncondemned persons, that if they did
not consent to leave the kingdom for America they
would suffer perpetual imprisonment. At present
the facts are not generally known, and all those who
adopt the tone of the court are talking of the ele-
mency of the paternal sovereign, whilst the majority
receive the decree with the utmost coldness, es
an individual good only, as a final measure
made to please and to delude the Western
Powers. But amongst those who are informed
of the manner in which the decree hes
been modified there is getting up a " fretnito
and we shall have a greater excitement than has
been yet known. In fact, oil has been thrown on
latent fire, and I can ill describe the disgust and in-
dignation with which those measures have been re-
ceived where they are fully known. America is
said to have been suggested by Lord Malmes-
bury as the place of deportation. If so, the fact
should be received with indignation by every
Englishman ; and though foreign politics are
not much in favour at home when such im-
mense domestic interests command attention,
at all events let acts he well canvened
which may compromise the honour and the
humanity of our government and our country. I
have said a hundred times that the return of a Bri-
tish minister to this court on the foundation of a
simple amnesty would be a great error, but under
such circumstances as those which have now been
created it would be to sanction an illegality,a decep-
tion, a barbarity, and would bring down upon us the
contempt and anger of all Italy. Of one thing I
think you may feel assured, that France will not
send a minister. I may be mistaken, but Ido not
think it is her policy so to do. Ske will certainly
maintain her honour by not sending one. I must
return to this subject, for from want of time I have
not been able to explain all the facts of the ease.

" The steamer Benues arrived at Suez from Bom-
bay on the 6th instant. The dates are—Bombay,
Dec. 24; Aden, Dec. 31. The subjugation of the
disturbed districts is rapidly progressing; the in-
surgents are dissolving before the merciful condi-
tions offered by the Queen's proclamation, and the
dismantling of forts and disarming of the population
is being carried on rigorously.
"On the Ist December Brigadier Troup's column
met a large body of rebels at Siam, in Oude, com-
manded by Ismael Khan. Our artillery and cavalry
only were engaged, but the enemy made very little
stand, and fled. The result of this affair was that,
on the 4th, Ismael Khan gave himself up, with a
considerable number of adherents. Some others
have since followed hie example.
" Tantia Topee is still at large. When last heard
of he was supposed to be making for Oodejlore, in

" On the 6th December a party of rebel fugitives
from the Fil Faith, at Biswa, eluding the vigilance
of the British troops posted along the banks of the
Ganges, between Cawnpore and Kimong, crossed at
once into the Doab, with intention, it is conjectured,
of joining Tantia Topee in Central India. This
party, under Ferode Shah, mustered 900 horse, 300
foot, one small gun, and some elephants. On the
Bth they were encountered by Mr. Home, who was
forced to retire upon Hurchandpore, where he occu-
pied a small fort.
" On the 12th the rebel party was at Tangeooa,
moving south, plundering and burning as they went,
and closely pursued by General Napier.
"The following telegram, dated Owalior, 18th
December, from Major Msnakersen, gives the latest
intelligence of them at Ranade:—
"' On the 17th December, Sir R. Napier's force
beat and pursued with slaughter, for eight miles,
the rebels under Ferode Shah. Captain Meade,

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(nom ova OWN C011111POND1IIT.)
PARIS, SONDAT EVTNINO.

The Memorial Diplomatique and other journal
continue to preach pesoe. The Steele is very war.
like. The Presse rests upon its oars. The Nord
of Brussels says very truly that whatever the Con.
atilutiorosel, or any other semi-official journal, may
say, nothing can be known definitively u to the in-
tentions of the French government until an answer
comae from Vienna to a diplomatic note which has
been sent there. My own private opinion, founded
upon a great variety of circumstances, is that the
Emperor means war.

The Indepoisianos Belga contains a piece of news
touching Prince Napoleon's projected marriage,
which, if true, is highly intnesting. You will have
rems•ked that the Mositur in announcing the
Prince's departure for Turin said not a word of the
object of his journey. The reason for this silence is
now suggested to be that the King of Sardinia
will act impose a husband upon his daughter whom
she may not like. The Prince. Glotbilda has never
seen the Prince Napoleon, and he has gone to Turin
to show himself, and endeavour to Sod favour in her
eyes. To the uncertainty as to the choice of the
printer is attributed the extreme reserve
with which the Sardinian Ambeasador, M. de
Yillamarina, spoke of the marriage at the lad
ball at the Tuileries. I cannot, however,
bring myself to think that • cousin of the
French Emperor would go all the way to Turin to
be refused. I have no doubt that before another
forty-eight hours have elapsed we shall be told that
the elderly imperial bachelor and the young royal
prince., fresh from the nursery, are ss deeply in
love with each other u Romeo and Juliet. This
evening's Pain's says that the betrothal, which wee
"erroneously" stated to be fixed for Monday, will
not take place till Tuesday or Wednesday. The
telegraph from Turin will now be watched with
tense interest.

It is stated both by the Nord and thelndependamee
that before Prince Napoleon left for Piedmont the
Emperor asked bim point blank whether it wee
true that he had inspired the warlike articles that
had lately appeared in the Presse, and that the
Prince positively assured hie Majesty that he had
nothing whatever to do with them. This convene.
lion must have been the foundation of the disclaimer
of the Prince inserted in the Press* the other day,
and to which I alluded at the time. Parisians,
without of course doubting the Prince's word,
which is no doubt as much to be relied upon as that
of the Sovereign himself, continue to believe that
there is a mysterious connexion between bim and
the Press..

The Duke de Broglie, an Orleaniet par sang, was
called as a witness before the slave-trade comer
lion, presided over by Prince Napoleon. He pro.
nounced an unhesitating opinion that the " immi•
gration," as practised by the Charles-et-Georges and
other French vessels in like case, was to all intents
and purposes identical with the slave trade. The
duke's evidence was listened to with great attention.
The Prince Napoleon overwhelmed him with polite-
ness, and while conducting him to the door assured
him that his views would probably be adopted by
the commission, but at all events by the govern-
ment.

It has long been notorious that Mgr. Suomi,
the present Nuncio in Paris, is not a favorite at the
Tuileries. Mgr. Spam Pietra and others have
from time to time been talked of as likely to super.
rode him. The latest rumour on the subject is that
the Emperor has expressed a preference for *
Corsican prelate, long devoted to the Bonaparte
family; but the Court of Rome objects that the
personage in question has no diplomatic experience
except what he may have gained in the course of a
temporary mission in the Court of the Emperor
Soulouque.
PARIS, SATERDAT EVENING.
The period for the final celebration of the marriage
between the Prince Napoleon and the Prince.
Clothilda will not be fixed, till after the ratification
of the marriage contract by the two courts. Imme-
diately after the " betrothal" the terms of the con-
tract will be settled by diplomatic negotiations. The
marriage will be celebrated in the first instance by
procuration at Turin. The Sardinian laws do not
recognise a civil marriage, and, therefore, the for-
mality prescribed by the Code Napoleon cannot be
complied with until the bride arrives in France.
A Paris letter in the Sbnaphore of Marseilles
My/ :
Not only has the English government expressed its
faction at the projected marriage of Prince Napoleon, but in-
formation has base received that Queen Victoria will be re-
gressated at Turin at the marriage ceremony. Is not Eng-
land also the ally of Piedmont ? When the Prince brims
his royal bride to Paris he will take up his residence at the
PEW. Royal, his private house is the Avenue Montaigne
being intended for another purpose. It will always be at tbs
disposal:of the Pliocene, bet, instead of being bet moue place
of residence, it is to be made a kind of country hour, where
the Prince will repose from the fatigues of his administration.
It is also said that the Prince intends to make • prevent of It
to the Princess. In order to increase the charm of this artis-
tic...Ll residence, Prince Napolets la &bonito make it a kind GI
where, amidatnumerous other objects of err, be sal
placed! the curiosities which he has collected in his voyages.
The Bourse has been firmer than on any day since
I the panic set in. The reproduction in the Nositeur
of certain paragraphs of a pacific tendency from the
German papers, added to the various rumours to
which I have above alluded, encouraged confidence.
The great fall in prices has brought forward a great
many small purchasers for money. The Rente rose
25c. for cseh and 45c. for account, closing at 69f.
and 681'. 9.1 e. Mobilier closed without change.
The railway market was calm, with little business
doing. Orleans fell fif. 75c. ; Northern rose 7f 50c. ;
and Southera and Western, sf. each; in the other
lines there was scarcely any change.
A meeting of the directors (French and foreign) of
the Isthmus of Suez Canal Company was held to-day
at the offices in the Place 'Vendome, and was very
