Volunteers of La 31at.clut, to proclaim Charles V.
All the Members of the Municipality of johtionor de la Orden,

A law-suit, extremely interesting to the city of Lyons, is at this
moment before the Council of State. The proprietors of the houses
of the ancient quarter of Bourgnettf, which were demolished in the
sterna year of the Republic, demand of the city payment for those
houses, which they pretend were pulled down for the public advan-
tagentent and the improvement of the city. The Magistrates have
rejected their claim, objecting that the demolition complained of was
the consequence or a revolutionary measure, with which the local
authorities had no concern, And ahich proceeded entirely from thh
execution of the famous Decree by which the National Convention
declared that Lyons should be razed, (hat the plough-share should
less over the ground on which It stood, and that a column should
be erected on the midst or the rttins, which should bear the horrible
Insetiption, " Lyons wa. rebellious against Liberty ! Lyons is
no more I"

Extract of a private letter of the 21%t Ins•.. from Frankfort :
" It seems• that the Russian Plenipotentiaries will have one
point of great delicacy to treat upon with the Porte, which is, to
demand a con,itletable sum as an indemnity for the expenie to
which Russia has been put in keeping up the army of the Pruth
upon a war lbating, for the Lett six yens. This demand is founded
upon-the tcrePtctastialtl.a.llloiYalS.ltt.thr negotiations set et lam
since the departure of Baron Strogonca, which rendered it necessary
to keep up so prat a body of forces on the frontiers."

We have received the Vition Gazette to the lath June.
It is somewhat singular that it contains no accounts from
Brazil whatever. German Papers to the 26th June have
also been received, but they contain no intelligence worth
communicating.

In amid' part of our Saturday's imprecsion re made
the following announcement, which we reptarlidi this
morning for the information of those readers who were
served with our early papers:—

It is stated, that mita ithstending the deri,inn of the Alitiennenit
against the " mushroom vines," many were rolled during.] hors.
day, th t legality of which was questioned by Mr. Brougham.—ln
consequence of that day's proceeding., it in reported that Mr.
Brougham derliocrt continuing the contest, and announced his in-
tention of petitiot.ing Parliament against the election. This result,
ao unexpected nftrr what occurred ea Wednesday. is rendered store
than probahht by the state of the poll on its close on 'nun*
evening, when 31r. Brougham was blow Col. Low her.

Our express left Appleby at seven o'clock on Thursday
niBht, at which hour Mr. BROUGHAM and tl:e Mcnibert

of his Committee were discussing the propriety of the Hon.
Gentlemin's resignation ; and it was stated by those in his
immediate confidence, that there was no doubt a 3 to the
decision of the Committee; and although the poll was
opened on Friday, the contest was virtually closed on
Thursday night, as we stated in our Second Edition.
We also republish the state of the Poll for Northum-
berland, which we received late on Saturday morning, by
express, and consequently it could only appear in a part of
our impression of that day.

An almost infinite number of theories have been devised
to account for the depressed state of the Commercial in-
terest ; but, in general, the effect has been assumed for the
cause, anal each of the 'various forms in which the prin-
cipal source of the evil has discovered itself, has, by one or
other of the inquirers, been considered as the sole cause of
the late distresses. This is a mistake which it is very easy
to fall into, from that spirit of generalization which
has led men in all departments of knowledge to seek for a
single principle to account for whole classes of facts; and
it is not to lee expected that any great progress will be
Made in political science, till we adopt more generally the:
method which hag been found so successful in natural
knowledge,—confining ourselves to mere conclusions from
facts, anti not venturing to connect the principles thus de-
duced with others, till the experience of other facts (and
there are enough scattered through history, without ven-
turing on experiments) shall enable us to connect them,
without any of those wild suppositions to which it is usual
to have reccurse for this purpose.
These observations were suggested to us lately by our
receiving a pamphlet by Mr. IV esetetx, the Member for
Essex, in which he attempts to resolve all the causes
which concurred in producing the late crisis into one, the
state of the currency. There is little novelty in the theory,
which hat been again and again brought forward in the
course of the last half century ; but we consider the
publication or this pamphlet as important, because it dis-
covers the line of argument which is likely to be pursued
by the advocates of the Corn Laws, in the-discussion on
this sul'j ct which will undoubtedly take place in the new
Parliament. This production we consider as the manifesto
of such of the Country Gentlemen as still continue un-
convinced of the expediency of a liberal system with re-
gard to the Corn Trade. It is by
_diverting the public
attention from the Corn Laws to the Currency that they
now -expect to obtain their object. They cannot deny
that distress exists in the manufacturing districts, nor can
they conceal from themselves the danger which would arise
to every species of property, and to none more than to lands d
property, it' the discontents in these quarters should is !o
such a height as they lately threatened to do. They must
he aware that the employment of the bayonet for the srp-
pression of disturbances like these, would, even if success-'
ful, he prod voice of ruinous effete to their possessions, the
fruits of Which, in a time of civil war, would he considered
as the legitimate property of those engaged in it. They
ought to know that it was not the milaary force that sup-
pressed the disturbances at Manchester—that c military
force alone never can suppress the discontents of this nation
—that-such a eupprevion woul 1 he still more difficult in a
case like this, where the cause of the people is the cause of
the soldiers ; and that even were such suppression practi-
cable, it Would be only changing overt force into concealed
hatrel—it would be converting the English nation into cring-
ing but revengeful slaves—it would be reversing the fate of
the Helots, and enabling the cultivators of the soil to domi-
neer over the inhabit ants of the city. But we repeat our asser-
tion, it is impossible—it never happened—that the discon-
tents of the English people were suppressed by military force. '!
When property was to be defended ; when a few instigators
had succeeded in raiEing a riot against the better tense of
the more respectable part of the community—when the
people had taken a mistaken view of the case, and were
convinced of their mistake—or when they succeeded in
convincing their rulers that they were mistaken—in these
cases the military has no doubt been successful in sup-
pressing the petty efforts of an ill-advised mob; but all
the energy of ehe present or of any Gpvernment would be
incapable of surpressiug the spirit of the English people,
when convinced that they are in the right, and that they
are contending against what they consider as oppression.
It was not the bayonets of the soldiery that enppressed the
riots at. Manchester. Men who held up their handkerchiefs
for the riflemen. to take aim at—men who entered factories'
by the one door while the military entered at the other—
were not likely to be intimidated by the terrors inspired
by a few regiments. The riots were suppressed, because
the people soon saw that the power looms were not
the teal 'objects of which they bed to complain ; while
they were Wormed, at the same time, that Govern-
ment was as anxious as they were for the adoption of a
better system with regard to the trade in corn. We are
convinced that many of the country gentlemen already
see the imrelicy of continuing restrictive measures, even
when considered as connected with the value of their
property. They already see that the more number of
-roverekas is not the true estimate- of revenue, but the
quantity of necessaries or luxuries that-may be purchased
with them: They already see that a free trade, by ad-
mitting competition, would promote agricultural exerticu,
to er degree which-would soon, notonty indemtifrynlii-m
for their apparent loss by the additional quantity of pro-
duce, but. wenld enable them gradually to raise their
rents, in proportion to the increase of produce, far above
the level at which they are now fixed, without hepe of
'increase. If there is no reason for exertion; none will be
made ;but such is the nature of the human mind, if its
force is once called forth, that it will afterwards continue
to 'act -when it has overcome its immediate object, and
will continue to act for the mere Pleasure of acting. It
is thus-that the difficulty of raising anything from a Scotch
soil has rendered the Scots the best farmers in the
world. s IVe conjure the country gentlemen to consider
this well, and to consider too. what *danger might crise
from a clamour against farmers, similar to that against
power-looms. It is in vain to endeavotir to escape from
a question by talking of the, currency. There .nay be
feults-in oar system, but remedies have been tried, and
are notr tried ; and the people are convinced, whether
there are faults there or not, that there are faults in other
quarters of tar snore vital im rtance.
