oar readers think we are exaggerating : the cruelties
and the ruin inflicted by the Austrian and Bavarian
soldiers in the south of the Electorate, which they
have already occupied, are scarcely lees than we have
described. And yet there the poor people have does
nothing, and have committed no crime, beyond that
of profaning an attachment to their constitution.
We do not want to throw all the shame and ail the
blame of this upon the Bing of PRUSSIA. Hi=

there might be in our own, both looking to pellie
opinion and the public interest, and the Km,
wavered between them in the agony of
conscious that to whichever aids he leaned, hi
his reputation and his throne.
And let it be premised that of those two contend-

to keep its faith to those princes who had put faith in
it and been compromised by it; and that with what.
ever reluctance, still in obedience to honour, Prussia
should stand by her word, and even draw the sword to
support it.
Bach was the opinion of the Prince of PRUSSIA,
bamboo to the Kin°, presumptive heir to the throne.
Sash was the opinion of RADOWITZ, bosom friend of
the Km. To such sentiments the constitutional
party adhered ; and it was evident that it was only
by calling in the constitutional y to a share d
power, and by appealing. througthem to Prussia
and to Germany, that resistance could be effectually
offered to the menaces of the absolutists.
Of a different opinion was M. Meerut-Frei. His
sentiments were, that from the first Freesia bad

Any later, when tidings arrived that the Astro-
Berariaes were marching into Hesse, and that
fiCawannweitea insisted on the Prunus evacu-
ating it unconditionally, then indeed the pacific
spirit of the Lisa and cabinet wu overborne, their
capacity of endurance overcome, and the calling
Iseth of the landwehr was ordered, MAN-
TZUFFEL himself not objecting. But when Prises
Scaweizsiszao explained away his rudeness, and
when concessions were made by Austria, in form, we
fear, more than in reality, then Mermturret. reiterated
his old oounsels to yield. notwithstanding the arm*
mut ; and Nimes:ores . recovered his influence over
the royal mind.
Under that Musa the Proasian cabinet is
now acting, now negotiating, and we fear that
every object for which 11,thowis held out, and to
which the constitutionalists sopired,will be abandoned.
The Frankfort Diet, representing a minority of the
German confederation, and chiefly those interested in
maintaining absolutism, is to be acknowledged de
facto, which se it includes its de facto invasion, occu-
pation, and disposal of Hesse and Holstein, is every-
thing. And the iron rigime of 1847, exasperated by
the recollections of 1848, is re-imposed upon Germany.
We shall reserve for a future opportunity • state-
ment of what the real effects of a restoration of the
old diet, or any diet on the same principles, will be.
But wo will confine ourselves for the moment to the
results likely to acorns to Prussia itself. M. Mut-
TeI:TFIL, as minister in that country, has convoked
the chambers, and he is about to meet them on
Thursday. The royal speech cannot but communicate
the state of the negotiations with Austria, and at the
ewe time with this information, the minister must
demand a certain amount of credit, for the exposes
of the summoning of the landwehr are enormous.
The probability is, that the chambers struck with
Si pentane of the expenses and the utter nullity of
the result derived from them, will either in disgust
rakes M. Kurrsverac his demand of funds, or they
wgl require time to disease and consider it.

—The sitting of the Legislative Assembl7 to-day wan
signalised by a skirmish of the majority with the
Mountain upon the election of Gen. Lahitte for the
department of the Nord, which presents the first ap-
plication of the electoral law of May 91. M. Betting
de Lencestel having brought up his report, which
stated that Gen. Lubin* had been elected by 83,891
votes oat of 88,497 voter', and 142,208 inscribed, M.
Schcalcher protested, in the name of the constitution
against an election which violated the Ist, 24th, and
29th articles of the constitution. M. Michel
de Beluga seconded this protest, and con-
gratulated those who had practically ppro-
tested against the law of May 31 by abstaibing
from the poll. M. Bawds defended the law against
an attack which he designated as a positive offence.
(Violent murmurs on the LA.) M. de Flotte main-
tained, in reply to the Minister of the Interior, that
when a law was contrary to reason and justice, it
might always be attacked with propriety. (Manaus
on the Right.) The president of the Amenably said
that in that case every one might set himself rep as a
judge of the law. But the question wan to vote on
the election. The house then divided. For the
validity of the election there were 480 votes, against
173. General Lahitte was proclaimed representative
for the Nord. _ _ _ _

The Aesembly adopted, without debate, the bill
raiag the oommerctel treaty of May 1, 1860, with
Sardinia. Various articles of the bill for placing
electric telegraphs at the disposal of the public, were
then adopted without discussion. The house then
pused w the second reading of the bill for facilitating
the marriage of indigent persons. Nothing farther
of interest occurred.

Then are two viasits of the coibieb 'eta ists—
blished by the of/Me° papers. According to the
Zrean Zeitting?it is said to be favourable to peace,
hat not definite. Austria declares her readiness to
wave her military preparations if Primal& will do the
gime, again oonsents, at the same time, to the free
oonferencees, but demands that they shalli meet at
Vienna. The other version describes the note as most
decidedly hostile, and demanding the acknowledg-
ment of the Bundestag.

The cabinet order appointing the Prince of Prank
to the chief command of the second, third, and fourth
amps of the army, and of the guards, was signed on
the 16th. These oorpstire to operate between the Oder
and the Elbe.
The head-quarters of the Anetro-Bavarian general
of division Legeditenh were removed from Bamberg
to Bohweinfurth, on the 11th.
The Prussian troops which lately held Fulda still
hold the military rad on the Eisenach and Hessian
borders.
Large bodies of Austrians passed through New-
etadt on the 13th, to Franconia, and took the road to
the Ekon by Henfeld.
On the 12th the Bavarians were 10,000 strong on
the river Folds, about six miles from Gain.
The standing committee of the Hesse Cassel Cham-
ber continues to anent the right of the national repre-
sentation. Oa the 13th it pronnted and imprisoned
au employe of the government for attempting to col-
lect time.
The standing committee of the Wnrtemburg Cham-
ber, sleeted in opposition to the ministry, who protested
that the royal mandate had abolished the law insti-
tuting inch a body, is now under a prosecution for
prolonging_ its existence, and assenting the right to
perform official ants. It, however, continues to meet
and Pass resolutions, which it publishes. As its pro-
ceedings appear likely to originate a state of relations
between the people and government similar to those
existing in Hesse Cassel, the government has applied
to the Emperor of Austria for aid in quelling the re-
sistanoe it foremen. . . . .

Fro; Bosse ldoif we learn the arrival of regimental
of Baden infantry and cavalry, on their return to their

have quitted that place, and been replaced by troops
of the Orand Duke of Baden, who were received with
enthusiasm by the inhabitants.

S. Because neither the matter now introduced by his ex-
cellency, nor any one of the other matters comprised in his
excellency's memorandum, as laid before this council on the
6th inst., or in the minutes of the 10th init., refer in the
remotest degree to the maim of representative institutions
for this colony.

6. Because the executive government of this colony has a
already for a considerable time gone on to appropriate the
public money without the authority of the legislative conceit,
and because It is more consistent with the spirit and sense
of the people, that the said irregularity, in as far as it may be
strictly unavoidable, should continue for a few months
looter, and be answered for to the future parliament of this
colony, than that the people should be debarred of its right
of scrutiny by means of its representatives through any sanc-
tion given to the said irregularity by this council, as at pre-
sent constituted.
7. Because I firmly believe that this council, as at present
constituted, would deem It neeesealy to sanction items of
expenditure which the said parliament would reject.
8. Because, in the discussion of the question "of the
resumption of public works," it is absolutely necessary that
various inmate be represented which are not represented by
this council. I allude artfully to the commercial interests
of this colony, and more especially the interest of such an
important seaport as Port Blisebeth, and because we have
every reason to expect that those interests will be hilly repre-
sented in the future parliament.
9. Because the financial relations between the colony and
the Orange River sovereignty, as well as the causes and
history of those relation', require a degree of scrutiny which
cannot be successfully conducted except by the said parlia-
ment, will* It is ;expected will comprise members of the
local knowledge and informed= necessary in such scrutiny,
because also any money voted for on account of the said

towards this colony and other parties concerned, and because
the said financial relations would indirectly establish a con-
nection hawses' this colony and the sovereignty, which
ouabt to be left to the decision of the future parliament.
10. Because of all the matters and subjects above referred
to, there is not one which would not be more appropriately
discussed by the said parliament, and which would, therefore,
gain considerably by a few months' delay, for passing over
" the ordinate*. which were before the council last year," and
which cannot be of a very pressing nature, the discussion of
the propriety of enacting a law to establish trial by jury in

• greater number of lawyers than this council now contaior,
and by the opinions of the merchants who, we may expect,
will be deputed to the said parliament,—" Whereas the
proposed establishment of a rural police on the frontier
divisions, the state of the law relative to the relations of

From Natal we learn that the improvements on the
bar had produced an encouraging effect, there being at
neap tides 11 feet at low-water, and about 18 at high-
water. The report of the commission appointed to
inquire into the circumstances attending the wreck of
the Minerva his been published; it slates in conclu-
sion : "We cannot help remarking that if due pre-
caution had been taken, by having a sufficient quan-
tity of both cables on deck on the evening of the 4th
of July, the vessel would probably have been saved."

No dismission took plus on these minutes; bat,
Mr. Fairbairn, in his newspaper, argues is favour of
the council's confining its operations as much as possi-
ble to the framing of the coselitatiess, and leaving the
hands of the future legislature free.
In the legislative council, on September 20, when
some drafts of ordinances were presented, and the
motion was made by the hon. secretary to government,
that one of them be read • first time, Sir Andries
Steckel:tato= moved an amendment, to the effect that
no other business should be proceeded with until the
ordinances containing the constitution of the parlia-
ment of the Cape of Good Hope had been completed
and passed. Upon this amendment a long and earnest
dismission arose, which terminated in a division, when
it appeared that there were seven to four against the
amendment, which was consequently lost; all the
official members, with Mr. Godionton and Mr. Cock,
voting against, and Bir Andries Stockenstrom Mr.
Brand, Mr. Reitz, and Mr. Fairbairu voting for it.
The attorney-general then moved to the effect that
such matters as the estimates should be proceeded
with in due course, eaving it to the council to deter-
mine whether to proceed or not with other matters, as
they might, on full consideration, think fit. This
was carried by the same majority, the same four
members, as before, voting against it.
Sir Aedries Stoeitenstrom then rose and read the
following reasons of dissent, which he signed and
handed to his excellency, tendering, at tke same
time, his resignation, and retired; Mr. Bland, Mr.
Reitz, and Mr. Fairbeirn doing the same:

BOMBAY, Ocr, 17.
The country from end to end continues wnpt in
profound peace and tranquillity, and it is to be hoped
it may long continue so. Unless, indeed, we to
aseltiog enemies beyond our frontier, as was the rage
in days gone by, it is hard to conceive with whom
we are to quarrel. You have latterly been nijost
to the great majority of • Indian editors, in ac.
cueing them of being " still for war," in refer.
awe to the tribes of Kohut and its neighbourhood.
' There are exceedingly few indeed of them who
advocate hostilities with these tribes, nearly the
whole of them being rather in favour of subsidisitg
them, as was, it is alleged by some, recommended
by Sir C. Napier; while others again aver that the
old chief was for subduing them ei et arias, and that
this was the point on which he and Lord Dalhousie
first quarrelled. It seems quite certain that willingly
our troops will not again be pitted against the hardy
mountaineers, and the approaching visit of the Gover.
nor-General is expected to be productive of as
amicable arrangement with them. Everything eon.
tinned quiet at Peshawur and in its neighbourhood,
the tribes waiting the advent of the great man to
doubt as anxiously as our own people, as proponts
had been submitted by them to our government to
keep open the Kobat Pass for a consideration.
A good deal of sickness prevailed, hut the
deaths were few. Sir W. Gilbert left Lahore on a tour
to Wuzeerabad, Seealkote, &c., on the let instant, and
would return by the 20th. Captain Genesee, 14th
dragoons, has met with a serious accident. Ile
seems to have gone to sleep on the fiat roof of a house
in the Shalimar Gardens at Lahore, and to have tom
during the night and fallen to the ground, thereby
breaking his right thigh close to the socket, and
receiving other serious injuries. Some fears were enter-
tained for the results. The forts in the Punjaub are said
to be about being fully armed and garrisoned, heavy
guns having been ordered up from Delhi and Agra fur
the purpose. Sir H. Lawrence wee shortly expected to
return to Lahore, where a considerable amount of
sickness prevailed amongst the Ist European Fusiliers
and 651 Native Infantry in the city : those in can-
tonments outside being healthy. Scinde affords no-
thing in the shape of news except that the troops
and inhabitants were enjoying urneusl good health
for the mason at Hydrabad. From Upper
Scinde hardly a word is now-a-days ever
heard. Sir C. Napier is looked for at Nurrschee by
the end of Nov., on his way home. A rumour prevailed
that Mr. Pringle was about to proceed on his tour to
Upper Scinde. Major Kennedy, Sir C. Napier's pet.
vete secretary, has been appointed Consulting Bail-
wayEngineer to the Bengal government, on a misty of
3,0001. a year. The three judgeships of the Madras
Court of Small Causes have been conferred on

Messrs. Burgess, Rose, and Fullerton.
The metropolitan of India is about to proceed
to the Straits, and the Bishop of Madras is ex-
pected to give Bombay a passing call, on visita-
tion. The Nepaulese Ambassador was expected

Brig. Monteith, Bengal army, has sucoeeded to
a fortnoe of 18,0001. a year at home—lucky fellow, 'he'll
feght na mak." Another tight has taken place be-
twixt the troops of the Naweb of Elichpore and those
of a refractory landholder, in which the former were
completely victorious. The Prince Frederick of
Schleswig Holstein is now at Calcutta, haring
arrived there incog., on board the Bank of
England, from Sydney. The Hon. Sir F. Carrie is
now on leave at Ceylon. All, or nearly all, the
Bombay lawyers are now away on !ears
at Ceylon, or the hills, to which latter place S,r E.
Perry proceeded for a few days. Lord Falkland is at
Mahabuleahwar, and has completely recovered from
the effects of his late illness. Sir W. Cotton has not
returned to Bombay, and it is not known when he
intends doing so. Major J. Holland, Deputy
Quartermaster-General, has gone to Poona to relieve
Colonel Campbell of the duties of Q.M.0., he being
about to proceed home on the 3rd prox., when Major
H. succeeds him. General Barr also goes home on
the 3rd. There is nothing else to notice which is not
fully touched on in the subjoined summary from this
morning's Times :
Another naiadeas fortnight forms tolled of complaint to

the newspapers and congratulation to the people. tram the
Ist to the 10th October thunderstorms were experienced in
Western India, and stormy weather seems to have prevailed
all over the country from Ceylon to the extreme north-west
frontier.—The Governor General and suit* leave Simla on
the Ist November, and proceed via Roopur, Hoosbeazpore,

Pathunkote, and .Deenairouggne, to Lahuie, 'and after a. hell
there of three weeks, to Peehawur by theusual route.
Heavy rain had latterly somewhat interfered with the com-
forts of the noble party at Cheni ; but they continaed
in excellent health. It is reported to be intended to
fortify, arm, and garrison, the principal strongholds in the
Punjaub, with a view, we presume, of diminishing the
number of troops at present deemed requisite for its safety.
The state of the Kohat frontier is still twitter of much con-
cern, and it seems au open question whether it might not be
more wise to leave this part of our possession to the charge
of the tribes themselves, than to maintain it at the present
charge and risk. Sir C. Napier is understood to have recom-
mended that we should sub.idiee the tribes, and the gallant
chief is the last man to recommend the purchase of peace
could it be obtained on any other terms.—A scientific
I survey of the Salt Range has been ordered by the
Governor. General; Mr. Pardon, who is to have charge,
M ordered to be in Lahore by the let of November.—
Lieutenant Robertson has been ordered to commence •
setentiflc sone; of our frontier bordering Jemoo instead
of the Raves. Government have engaged the services of
Mr. Mardeck, as mutineer in the iron yard at Roorkee.
The government of Bengal have resolved to levy a toll on
the Grand Trunk Road : nothing could be more wise than
to extend the means of intercourse in all direetioas, making
the people pay for the roads some trifling fraction of what
they dMati7 gained by them. It is a most serious misfor-
tune is India that government is looked to for everything—
' , the people will do nothing for themselves, and the country,
which might ee easily be so greatly improved, is left alone.
