LONDON, WEDNESDAY. NOVZIMIL 16, 16.26.

Lest night we received the Paris papers of Sunday, in-
gelding the Mode dated the following day. The last
number of the lifereure ths 19 Bieck reveals a singular
transaction, in which M. SOATHENE DE LA ROCIIEJOU•
CAUL! figures, aft usual, very ridiculously. it appears
that this sage personage, afraid of the animadversions which
Ins administration of the household was justly ea:misted
to draw down upon him, paid the editor of the Ifferettre
is rim of 1,500 trines, on the express condition, as stated in
resiapt, that "the said journal should not, during
twdee usonthe, attack either the administration of the
hoisehold or the person of M. SOSTIILAIL DE LA
npallare.Cllllo, The editerimmediately transmitted
tlta wog to. the avails:ye of the Greek subscription, and
in kis next paper polished the tin, receipts, declaring, at
A. sine thee, that he 'would keep his engagement, and
'pal** le his intim for tholes, of the few jokes, good
or WC that be 'night have node at the expense of M. DE
I,A Recusroticanve, in consideration of the use to which
he had applied the arab. We know not how far to blame
the editor of the lfrreturefbr his conduct in this treesae-
tem. Clodoubtedly be has violated the implied pledge of
skean under which ail bargains of this kind are con-
' einaed ; hut is exposing so clearly the gross system of
'corruption pursued 'towards the public press, he liu ten-
'dared es important service to his cout:try. Among the
caetributors to the Stercuri are many of the most end-
ives( men of letters now existing in France. What must
ha the enures taken with respect to works and writers of
warier chareeter, when such advances as these are made,
with the view of bribing the Mercsire to silence ?
A fresh instance of the illiberality and intolerance of the
. • Piellelk Government in regard t 3 religious subjects, bas been
aheme is the prosecution of some female Quakers, who were
, famed on Sunday the 30th of January last assembled at a
beams in St.Edean e, for the purpose dreading and expound-
. W 44116. Now Testament. The C onmiesary of Police broke in
upon their meeting, seized their books and papers, and
interrogated them es to the object of their society. They
stated that they met in order to instruct themselves in re-
ligious knowledge according to the Gospel, which was their
• emir guide, that their society owed its origin to the visit
of two fareigsers, an American and an Englishwoman, and
• that the number of its members was fifteen. A prosecu-
tion was instituted against them by virtue of the '29oth
article of the penal calm, which forbids any regular assem-
bly for any religious, polii %cal, or other oljt•ct, except with
the consist of the Government, and under such conditions
as the spats of public authority may think fit to impose
11, span it. The juggmeat of the Court of Correctional
Police was, that the meetings of these female Quakers was
sot only a manifest violation of the law, but also.a subject
.sf disorder aid scandal for society at large. The accused

parties were severally sentenced to a fine of fifty franca and
the costs of the prosecution. What must we think of
the spirit and sentiments of a government which is, or
affects to be, alarmed at the meetings of a few old women
in the garb of Quakers ?
Advice' from Zante announce a victory gained over
',mamas PACIIA, by COLOCOTILONI, in the beginning of
October, at Marathonissi. The Egyptians, it is stated,
Were blockaded at Mistra. No details are given, and we
can therefore only say, that we trust the news is well-
founded. We ate sorry to learn that the insurreetiea in
Candia has proved unsuccessful. It was reported that
Admiral MIA u Lis had sunk several vessels at the entrance
of the port of Alexandria, so as to prevent the combined
r fleet from tailing out of it. We place little reliance, how-
ever, upon the statement.

Amounts final %ante state that Colocotroni, with 14,0011 men,
defeated Ibrahim Puha, in the beginning of October, near Mara-
thonissi, and forced him to take refuge with a very small number
of troops at Mists, where he is blockaded.
Letters from Prevesa, dated rich October, announce a convention
concluded between the Capitan Pacha and Mehemet Ali since the
inaction of the two fleets. The latter promises to indemnify the
Porte foe all the losses it may sustain in its marine, and to remain
without* with the Egyptian fleet. and not go to Constantinople.
The revolution in Candia has not had the success that the Greek%
expected from it, bin' they were still masters of the fortress of
Grabuss.

on the 21st Sept. (II Oct.) the Turks threw into a battery of
llisvolongiii a letter, in which they desired an interview with the
Greek Generals. The letter was sent back with this short answer,
that the Greeks would not communicate with the Turks, except
with arms in their him& The next day but one, there was a new
affair—a mine blew up one of the works raised by the Turks, who
have been obliged to retreat into their retrenchments at the greatest
distance from the fortress.
There is a report of a new popular commotion at Smyrna, of a
fire which his destroyed 1200 houses. and of a frightful massacre ;
it is affirmed that the French ships of war in the port of that city
greatly conttibuted, by prudent, humane, and at the same time vi-
gorous measures, to preserve that unfortunate city from entire de-
struction.

On the 12th Oct. Karainkaki attacked the Turks in garrison at
Caravassara, which serves AS the depot for the ammunition and
peovisions of the army of the Seraskier. The Greeks, it is said,
marched with drums b.ftting and music playing, and succeeded in
their enterprise. A young Greek rushed forward to set tire to the
powder-magazine, but tell a victim to his self-devotion before he
could attain his object.
A report is spread that Maul's, having convinced himself that
the Turkish and Egyptian fleets were united in the port of Alt:-
andria, and were preparing to sail to convey new supplies of troops
and ammunition to the 3lorea and Acarnania, had 61Ied with stones
several vessels lately captured, and sunk them at the entrance of the
port, thus preventing the enemy from coming out.

It is by mistake that some journals have announced the arrival
of General Roche at Paris. The Greek Committee have heard
nothing which can induce them to think that he hail left Napoli di
Romania. At the date of his last letters (September 17),
he was impatiently expecting the expedition which has been
wit to Greece, and as it reached Zante on the 20th of
that month, and was to sail the next day, it must have
reached Napoli by the 25th. Whet may have given rise to this
news, and at the same time proves it false, is, that the Journals
have said General Roche came with M. who entered the
Lazaretto of 51arseilles a month ago, and was himself the bearer of
the letters of Geoeral Roche.

The changes just made in oar Cabinet are but the prelude to ao

If the leading page of our journal of Monday last had
not been occupied with the breaking up of the Baanroand
combination, we had intended to have devoted some real
marks to an article in the Trades Newspaper of last Sunday,
entitled Marreas AND MCI." Whatever opinions,
come from one of their sum order, not only some with
weight to the worling classes, but they serve likewise to
indicate the notions which prevail among the leaders of
the Union, and which most pains is consequently.taken to
inculcate. We have no time to waste with prefatory re.
marks, and shall therefore proceed at once to examine, and
to expose, the misrepresentation and false reasoning by
which TUE OrIaTIVES. are deluded by those who profess
to be their instructors.

" Men are told not to demand of their masters an advance of
wages—to enter into combinations for that purpose is criminal, and
to submit to Abair dictation Is justice.
" What ! is that justice, that they who purchase labour shall
al the price they are to pay for it ? Are men to have oo power
to defend and protect their own interests!-[f they have any, it must
have some weight ; ilk has none, it is of no use."

There is no quotient but that men may reasonably
demand an advance of wages; but neither is there any
question that the masters may as reasonably reuse it. It
is not contended that it is criminal to desist from working
for any particular employer, it' the price paid by such em-
ployer is either what the workman may not consider an
adequate remuneration for his labour, or is below that
which he can earn in any other employ. He is free to carry
his labour where he pleases. his his patrimony, and he is
amply justified in obtaining the best reward he can for it.
But workmen, as a body, are not justified in entering into
a combination for the purpose of compelling their employ-
as, by means of such general revolt, to yield to the rate of
wages they may determine to demand. We most readily
admit that it is not just that the Operatives should be made
to submit, as here said, to dictation, but neither have their
employers a right to submit to their extortion; and yet
what is the end and aim or the combliattbt sitters but In
compel submission on the part of the masters, by withhold-
ing from them the means of carrying on their manufacture
by withdrawing wholly from them that labour without
which their machinery trust stand still, and their orders
remain unexecuted.

6- Wagee, in most eases, are regulated in a great degree Gm the
power the men have to oppose their masters. This is nne reason
why in some trades they are well paid, in others badly. {There the
controlling power between masters and men is equal, no harm
can occur; but whenever the balance is great on either aide, in la
proportionate degree is there injustice."

This writer mum presume very much on the ignorance
of his fellow-operatives, when he tells them that wages are
regulated by Me power of the men to oppose their masters.
It is manifest that the moment this power becomes predo-
minant, there is an end of all regulation. It then becomes
a mere contest between labour and capital—a contest which
looks to no compromise, but insists upon concessitm. The
BRAD:O nn combination has exhibited a trial of 'strength in
this way, and a lamentable trial it bas been ; but that con-
flict is at length closed, and its result has read a lesson of
instruction which will make it difficult ever to bring them
again to be the victims of the same sort of delusion. As to
the controlling power between masters and meu," it never
can be equal. There is no common measure of strength
between the parties. The very supposition is absurd.
What balance. can there be between the power of a mann-
.rneturer, and the three or four hundred workmen who by
common agreement quit his employ, and resolve that no
one shall return to his service until their terms of re-
entering it shall be complied with?

THE 13RITISH PRESS.

every employer, if this is not a positive fact. Examine your own
feelings, and lam sure you must admit it. Then.is it not absurd
to suppose that they will ever, of their own accord, advance the
value of labour ?"

We have taken occasion very lately to expose the fallacy
of this, in the harangue of the Brad fbrd Secretary sort of
reasoning. It is the common practice of those who address
the operative classes, to resort to this common-place stile
of argument, which, if it is worth any thing, is equally
true to whichever side it is applied. For example, let us
change sides with the above paragraph, by applying it to
the workmen, and it will stand thus—" Among workmen
there exists one general feeling to get fur their work as high
a price as • they can. Not one among them, but has a
stronger desire to oppose any full of price than to promote
it. I appeal to every workman, if this is not a positive fact.
Examine your own feelings, and I am sure you must ad-
mit it. Then, is it not absurd to suppose that they will
ever, of their own accord, reduce the value of labour ?" Let
us now ask the op,,tetires wheher they would consider
this sort of reasoning is furnishing a sufficient jus-
tification to the masters to combine for the purpose of
lowering the wages of 14cir labour? Would they not with
one voice pronounce it to be unworthy of regard? Let
them be only as quick sighted in detecting the absurdity
of such pretences whcu brought forward by their own
side, as they would he it' brought forward on Me other,
and its effect will soon cease to be mischievous.

We will not pursue this writer into further detail. If
it were not for the class of persons among whom his
notions are circulated, and tee very serious crisis in which
the country is at this inorncnt placed, by the pernic'ous
doctrines that, weak as they are, serve as a cover for mis-
chievous designs—we should think such arguments not de-
serving of seriousexamination ; but our object is to lead the
working classes to reflect—to induce them to think for
themselves, and not to surrender their own common sense
to the delusive jargon Of those who have an interest in
misleading them. False principles of reasoning are easily
made subservient to the very worst designs; bo exposing
their fallacy we would fain contribute to turn aside the
consequences that flow from them.

CITY, TI:EMAY EvExtwo.

Although this was settling-day in the Foreign Stock
Market, still the attention of speculators was not exclusively
drawn to it. Very heavy transzetiens took place in the
English ,Funds, which in 'n great degree, no doubt, arose
from the circumstance of the near approach of the account-
day in these securities. The bar-pins were exceedingly
large for time all day; and although saki to a very con-
siderable extent were effected by eminent brokers, the price
so far from giving way, improved towards the conclusion
of business. Consols were once in the course of the morn-
ing as low as 6.5$ for this account, and 831 6 for that
in January ; but the last quotations were 8.5,74 6 for this
account, and 861 f for the January settlement. Exche-
quer Bills were Is. to 25., premium.
The want of confidence that has been now so long pre-
valent, and particularly in the Foreign Market, has pre-
vented the balances from running so high as they other-
wise would have done, and ha'. therefore, probably saved
many speculators from ruin. The decline of prices in this
market has, indeed, been excessive. Colombian Bonds
have fallen nearly 8 per cent.; Mexican Scrip &I; Greek
Roads nearby tier ;gni.; and Spanish ditto 34. How-
ie& riffitettlidindhlt fearful retregresslons tired
equally fearful forebodings in the morning, as to how the
day would pass, we are happy to announce that only one
failure, and that to no large amount, was declared; and the
settlement of balances was completed, as far as is publicly
known, much better than was anticipated ; and if we
were to offer an opinion on so difficult a subject, we should

The price. of Shares was quite t.ominal. Mairy an-
nouncements have taken place of the intentions of the
Directors to dissolve the Companies they are concerned
with ; amongst others are three Steam Packet Associations,
the subscribers to which hare been paid off their deposits
with a deduction of ss. per share.
A New Company eame out to-day. under the title of the
Central l'eru Mining Company. As the Shares are 4001.
each in amount, it is considered a private speculation.
The Sugar Market was, exceedingly dull, and the price
was a shade lower. The inquiries for Coffee were more
numerous than during the last week.
It was currently reported in the City this morning, that

The last accounts from Constantinople state that the
Divan had just held a Council, at which it was resolved
not to accept the mediation of any European Power in the
dispute between the Pone and Greece. At the close of the
sitting couriers were despatched to the different Com-
manders, to urge vigorous measures against the Greeks.
Letters from Cadiz state that imtch activity is shown
there for the equipment of several vessels of war, bound
for the Ilavannali. Among this number were the Guer-
rero and the Algesims, which had been fitted out very
expensively. The Freud' garrison of Cadiz had been
again changed, but ICU rather more numerous than before.
In consequenceof the statements which appeared in the
French papers, of a pretended tevolt in some of the pro-
vinces of Mexico, M. Gorostiza, the Agent for the Mexican
Republic at the Court of the Netherlands, . has addressed
aMuer to they,dbors of the Brussels papers, contradicting
the statement in the mrit *Rive terms, Ind sAdfng, that
the letters which he had received from Mexico, dated the
2,1 of September, contained nothing but what was highly
satisfactory for the tranquillity and prosperity of the Re-
public. _ _ _

Accounts from Preehnrg say that the Hungarian Diet,
in a united -sitting N the Chambers, halt resolved. to
present an address to the Emperor, in order to aeeetaint his
Majesty that• persons high in office, even •Hungarians
filling the poet of Royal Commissioners, have violated
the Constitution by the employment•of the military force,
and to petition his Afajesty to call these persona to ac-
count, and have them punished according to law, and to
annul the ordinances which are at variance with the Con-
stitution. ,

A German Paper has the ,following article :—" The
Hanseatic towns, which for several years have carried on
so lucrative a trade with Hayti, had abstained all the while
from tending out Clitouls. Now that Prance has pro-
claimed the independence of the country, there exists no
longer any reason to ptevent the Hanseatic governments
from appointing resident agents at St. Domingo to protect
their'comtnerce. The town of Bremen is about to nomi-
nate a Consul, who la to reside at Port-au-Prince. Ham-
burgh nominates one on her pall, who ',also to take care of
the interests of the merchints of Lubeck, and who has powers
to that effect. The norther:: governments,-whose states have
any maritime trade, have followed these examples, and
nominated successively Consuls to Hayti. The number
of Brazilian agents who have arrived in the north of
Germany increases daily. The nephew of the Brazilian
Minister, tarvalho Emilio, is abrntt•to present himself at
the Court of Mecklenbargh Schwerin, with credentials
from his Sovereign. They assert that he is also charged
with missions to some other of die northern Governments.
At present no difficulty is made of admitting Brazilian
agents into Germany. It is said that they are furnished
with letters for the Austrian Minister at the Hanseatic
towns." '
