The political news from the Brazils is not of the
toast importance. From tho River Plate ive.haVe;
however, several intexesing items.

From the Argentine Republic we learn that
recent news from the Azul and Patagones repre-
sent things as perfectly quiet to the South ; with
rumours, however, of projeetod invasions on a
large scale, in which Calfacura is to be aided
by the Chilian Indians. Should these inroads be
effected, it • will test the fidelity of the new
shies,
.Catriel and Yanquetruz ; and if both act up
to the spirit of their engagements, it may give a
new and important aspect to this all important
question; and on the other hapd, should they
prove false, the British Packet foresees an
()miaow eonfiict, as desperate relatively as
that now go:ng,on in India. Among the arguments
'fora National' Organization of the Republic,
this ,; is one of the strongest and most
imperious thErtefforte may be combined for putting
down -this*nuisance, and • chastising the Chilian
Inflians, and. the'Cliilian Government also, for the
toleeation 'and countenance of this inhuman war-
fare. It is 'said that Calfucura has contracted with
certain Chilian speculators, for the delivery of
immense quantities of cattle during the ensuing
summer ; and we, as well as they, know perfectly
whence they must be procured. With a common
danger of this magnitude staring us in the face, it
is high tims to lay aide personal and party feuds,
and assert once for all, the prerogatives and pre-
eminence of. Christian civilisation. •

CONNIERCIAL.
BUENOS AIRES, Oct. 2.

In dry g)cls the movement for the local market has been
confined, to a few articlee of fancy; or others requirad'to
make up assortments ; and for thaw fair prices have been
obtained. In other respects the demand has been languid,
and supplied principally at two or three heavy auctions,
where the prices reali ed we. e not very flattering Com-
munication with our c nintry stores is still difficult, and the
charges of transport so enormous, that they amount to a
virtual prohibition. This undoubtedly is one cause of the
comparative stagnation ; and the numerous arrivals
announced, may ale o help to delay intended .
transactions. Be the causes what they may, the certainty
is, that few preparations have yet been made for the
spring supplies, albeit the calendar and the peach blossom
announce that we are fairly entered on that season of hope
and gaiety. In transit for the Confederation, on the
contrary, the movement has been active, and we fancy that
market must, in the meantime, be tolerably supplied
From the 261 August to the 26th September, eight
foreign vessels left this port, with cargo, or part cargo, for
the Rondo, besides two or three in ballast, in
quest, we presume, of export produce ; and
several are now preparing for the same
destination. As a proof of the efforts that will be made
to overcome 'obstacles and evade differential duties, a
vessel is now leading an assorted cargo for the Rosario,
and will take the circuitous route of Rio 0-rands, so as to
clear out anew, and keep within the letter of the obnoxious
law. We need not remind the cinsumers of the Confede-
ration, that they pay eventually all these extras, with
interest and compound interest. The preparations
for this expedition help to enliven our wholesale stores, but
of course it is exceptional, and no safe calculation can
be made on its continuance or recurrence. In fact we
understand that several cargoes, assorted expressly far the
Rosario, are shortly expected from different quarters.
which will tend to curtail farther our transit commerce and
that of Montevideo, and leave established a direct traffic
that may survive the cause i in which it originated. For
Paraguay hardly anything has been done .during the
month, for which we cannot assign any satisfactory
reason, but we may conclude that, as September
has been a blank, the chances are greater that
October may turn out a prize. As a consequence of the
languid movement, and the impossibility of remittances
from the country stores, that come principally in the firm
of rural products, collections are somewhat morose ; and
the downward tendency in the marketable value of g l
perhaps tends also to aggravate the evil. Fortunately we
have had no failures of any consequence, and are
recovering the normal state of mutual confidence.
The arrivals have been moderate—more so than the
Lumber of vessels would seem to indicate ; and, as
usual, the complaints of bad assortments are prevalent.
This has become a chronic distemper of our market, for
which we cannot suggEst any reeaeoy. Dry hides arrive in
great abundance from the interior rivers, and also heavy
supplies of epidemia hides from our country districts ;
notwithstanding the demand for them inereaso4 and prices
continue to advance. With salted hides, ox and horse, the
case is different In wools hardly anything doing
Holders firm, and speculators chary ; and the c turas of
our money market enhancing the d•fileulty. In this, as in
other matters, we must patiently await the mediation of
the great umpire, Time.

2669 bags, and the shipments during the same period
were 5104 ditto, leaving a Stock in Store of about 1759
bags, of which upwards of 1001 are disposed of.
In consequence of the favourable advice% of the
state of the market, and short stock in England,
prices on the spot advanced from 300 to 400 rs. per
arroba, during the month, and a similar advance was ob-
tained for Maeeio descriptions, of which some thousand

FRANCE

PARIS, THURSDAY EVENING.

M. Abbatucci, whose death I announced this
morning, is the fourth (or rather fifth) Minister of
the Imperial Government who has paid the debt of
nature. M. Ducos, Minister of Marine, M. Bineau

. .
of Public Works, M. Fertaul, of Public Instruc-
tion, all died at their posts; and Marshal St. Arnaud
was Minister of War until the day he left for the
Crimea. M. Abbatueci was in the 6th year of
; and his robust constitution seemed to
promise yet many years, of life An abeest'in-
the intestines, which attacked him hardly a
month ago, baffled all the resources of the medi-
cal art. M. Abbatueci belonged to an old and
respectable family of Corsica, several of whose
members were in the service of the Rupub-
lie of Venice when Venice was yet an indepen-
dent state - The Abbatucci family, it is said, once
possessed much influence in their native island, so
much so as nearly to counterbalance that of the
Paolis during the war of independence which
Corsica waged against Genoa. The father of the
deceased' minister, however, served under the
orders of that dislinguished patriot. In 1790 he
was made Knight of the Order of St. Louis, and
MAjor-General, and took Dart against Paoli and
the .English in 1793. General Abbatucci, who
died in 1812, left four sons, three of whom fell in
battle. The youngest was he whose death is now
noticed. He was born in 1792, received. his early-
edttoation in the Lycee NapOleon, and studied law
at Pisa. He was named Procureur du Roi under
the Restoration, and was subsequently ap-
pointed Councillor to the Court of Appeal
at Bastia, in Corsica. He became one of
the Judges of the Court -of Orleans after the
Revolution of 1830. and not long after was elected
member of the Chamber of Deputies for • hie
native island. His origin and his family traditions
attached him to the Bonaparte party, of which h
was considered as one of the representatives in'the

Legislative lAssembly. After the Revolution of
February hs was promoted in the Court of Casea-
tion to the post which he had deClined in 1810
in order to keep his seat in the Chamber. He r,..7
tired in 1819, after nearly 33. years of judicial
functions.. He was named representative of the
people to.the Constituent Assembly, and was one
of those who opposed with energy the motion in
favour of tie rights of labour, and advocated the
nominatimf of the President of the Republic by
direct siiffrag,e. His devotedness to the Napoleon
family gave him a high place among the partisans
of Prince Louis Napoleon. He believed, and there
is reason to think his belief very sincere, that
those days of anarchy and danger the fortunes of
the country were intimately allied with that of
Napoleon 111 , and it is hardly necessary to add that
he devoted all his faculties topromote the interests
of those with wh )m Lbelieve he was connected by
fa-caily ties. In recompense of these services, the
Emperor raised him to the important post of Minis-
ter of Justice,.the duties of which he did not cease •
to perform until he was prostrated by the malady
which has carried him otl. M Abbatucci's career
was, I believe, fair and honorable. throut-rhout, 'and
we have not heard his name• associated with the
doings attributed; rightly or wrongly; to others who
have been in high places. The Eniperor, I have
no doubt, sincerely regrets the loss of one of his
most devoted servants. and friends.

The funeral obsequies will take place on Satur
day, just a fortnight after those of General Cavaig-
nec, and preparations are making at the official
residence of the Minister of Justice for the cere-
mony, the expense of which will, it is said, be
defrayed by the State. •
The Presidents Delangle and Troplong left Paris

A decree in the Moniteur announces the convo-
catiion of the Legislative Corps for the 28th inst.
It is believed that this is more a, matter of form.

and from a desire to oomply with the letter of the
Censtituzion, than anything else. The meeting
'Ot• what, I prestime, we may term " the despatch
of business," will take place in January, at which
period the Senate will also be convoked. On the
present occasion nothing moro, it isprollable, will
be done than taking the oaths and the verification
of powers. The session will, therefoiro, be brief.
We are told that it is owing to the scrupulous

anxiety of the Emperor to respect .even to i:s very
letter the Constitution of 183..1 that the d€pn'ies '
i.re summoned to the Palais Bourbon, the C3uncil
of State not having got through its preparatory
abo tire.
The weather in Paris has undergone for the last
,;..we or three days a marked change. Only a few days
igo it was so warm that people began to return. to
' their surnrwr clothing, and some days were nearly
,qual in warmth to the Month of June. The pre-
seat temperature is more natural to the season, but

the change has beer: unusually sudden. Frost has
visited the capital and the country in the neigh-
bourhood, while autumn' still lingers in ma() of the
southern departments. ?he air in Paris io keen,
but it is more of the seaseds, and is healthy and
bn thug.
'Tine Moniteur de la Flo' tte has a long article headed
" En&ish Humility with respect to the Capture of
Delhi," with a running comment on the speech of
Lord Palmerston at the Mansion House. The Moni
teur della Elate is not, it says, among those who
looked upon the general fast and humiliation as an
act of hypocrisy, for, though individuals may be
hypocritical in their external devotions, a whole
people never is so. It approves that solemn
manifestation, and admires the septime-nt of con-
trition expressed simultaneously by milli na. The
Moniteur de la FlOtte thinks that there was good
cause for it, for." English policy in particular may
utter more than one men; culpa, and we need not go
very far to discover faults which she herself feels.
since :she deems it her duty to humble herself
before God, ujder the terrible visitations which
have afflicted her.'' The moment approaches, it
believps, when the 'world shall be able to judge of
the reality of that humility, and whether it has
borne all its fruits. It examines Lord Palmerston's
speecTi. It says,
The- Premier has attributed extreme importance to the
takini of Daihi, and has all bu: declared that the Indian
insurrection has received its deathblow by it. To hear the
noble lord one would suppose that the weatest difficulty is
actually overcome, and that, with the formidable army I
which England hits just sent out to India (in all 85,000
Europeans), and which is to be maintained in that country,
there is nothing more to fear. The Prime Minister of
England is more capable than any one can be: to judge
correctly of the state of affairs ; and, until the contrary
be shown, we are bound t.) believe that he is not mistaken
Paced so as to have the most positive and the most cop;ons
information, he must know exactly how matters are, and,
under present ciraumstanczs, it is not probable that he
desired•to lead public opinion astray in stating what he
did not think.

T .sr
e. Moniteur de la Flotte expresses a hope that
all 11 be as Lord Palmerston seys ; the time f( r
retie king ample details from India is near at hand,
and, he pull-olio will then be able to judge how, fat
the assurances of the Premier are borne out by
facts. It then touches on the part of Lord
Palmerston's speech. It says :
The second point is more delicate ; but here again
we are bound to say that we approve of what he said. We
remember the clamour that was raised among the English
public against the pretended clemency of Lord Canning.
With the frightful atrocities of the Sepoys before them, to
speak of justice seemed a weakness,and all but treason. No
word should bs uttered but that of vengeance, o' pitiless
vengeance, and, perhaps, even of reprisal. We could under
stand the blind exasperation on the part of families wh
coant so many victims in India, and anguish so poignant
mar:well silence, at least fur a moment, not only the feel-
ings.of humanity, bw, even all respect for oneself. But we
less understood that fury (or rather we blamed it) of the
English press ; and we agree with some of our confreres
in France that the savage expression of such implacabhs
determination did injury, on the continent, to the English ,
cause. It cooled the sympathies which such misfortunes
naturally awaken, and the English journals that went to such
extremes have rendered no service to the interests of their
c euntry, to which they believed they were so faithful. At a
moment when the effervescence of passion has not yet sub•
sided, though it is less warm, the Premier has shown no
little courage in speaking as he has done. It is true that, on
a recent occasion, Lord Grauvrile and the D uke of Cambridge
gave an example and pointed out the route to be fAlowel.
Lard Granville in particular, was bold enough to defend
Lord Canning at a time when every one was indignant at
the. Indian Administration. It showed much courage on
his.pert, but it also evinced much. justice. Lord Palmerston,
with his habitusl prudence. did not tread this slippery path
until others had passed before him. He saw that the ground
was firm, and he marched in the footsteps of those that pre-
ceded him, perhaps with some hesitation, but net without
success. Now the approval of Lord Cannivg's conduct
means that in the repression of the Sepoy insurrection, after
the victory moderation avid be observel—a moderation
*which the insurgents certainly de not merit, but which be-
comes a civilised and Christian people. England sets much
value on that char- cter which justifies her presence and her
domination in India But that situation imposes on her
obligations in the eyes of the world ; and if her army
passed certain litni:s in the act of repression, it would ex-
cite against it feelings analogous to those aroused by the
barbarous acts of the Sepoys. Even individuals are wrong
in aveneing themselves by the frightful means employed
by ferocious enemies, who are rather wild beasts than
htuartzt,Avings„.. A Government would be much more to
blame,-ana the proclamation of Lord Canning, which has
been so much censured, is in reality worthy of praise. No
person should individually take justice into his own hands
in India. Whatever his wrongs Inay be, he. should intrust
his case to the firmness and justice of his Government,
who are strong enough to decide with equity tend calmness?'

olose inspection, and came to, the conclusion that
they would not wear such fine' linen if they were
not sorely given to the pomps and• vanities of this
wicked world. The indignation of the friars' of all
the different orNers is said to be extreme, and the
seculars are, if possible, even mew' discontented
