An important event for the Catholic Religion has just occurred
us the centre of Protestant Germany. The reigning Duke of
Anhalt Coetheo. and the Duchess, his wife, during the journey
which they made to Paris, in the conme of the last year. left their
abjurations in the hands of the Archbishop of Paris. His Digit.
nest announced the fact on the 13th inst. to his subjects in the fol-
lowing Proclamation.
(Here follows the Proclamation.]
The subjoined paragraph is from the Moniker
Yesterday. before Mass, his Excellency Lieut.-General Count
Po: .() di BorFo presented to the King, in a private audience, the
letter of his sovereign notifying the death of his Imperial Majesty
the Emperor Alexander Paulowitsch, and the new credentials by
which his Excellency is confirmed in his appointment at the Court
or France, as Ambassador Extraordinary and Minister Plenipoten-
. vale of kit Imperial Majesty Prince Nicholas, Emperor of all the
li-Vsias, King of Poland, rite."
His Majesty the Emperor of Russia reviewed, on the 27th of
D::ember, the faithful garrison, as well es the battalions which
had been misled on the preceding day. " You have lost your Ito-
war," stud the Monarch to these last. " I pardon you ; endeavour
to recover it." They immediately supplicated the Emperor, with
tear, of shame and repentance, to restore his confidence to them,
sad made the air resound with loud buzzes.
When the brave General .3liloradowitsh felt his death approach-
ing. during the night of the 26th and 27th, he ordered his sword to

we observe the following :—When their Imperial Majesties go to
meet the body of the Emperor, and also on the day of the funeral,
they w,ll wear on their heath a large veil of black crape, which will
cover the whale dress. When the ladies of the first four classes'
approach the body of the Emperor, and also on the day of the fune-
ral. they will wear large mourning mantles; and on leaving their
houses. capes or veils of black crape, which will entirely cover the
fine. The length of the train will distinguish the different classes :
that et their Majesties the Empresses will be four arching long;
that of her Imperial Highness the Grand Duchess will only be
three. The train for the ladies of the first two classes will be two
archaises ; those of the third class an arching and a half; and those
or tW fourth clam one archive.

• PARIS, JAN. 21.
A letter from New Orleans, dated 29d December, has been com-
municated to us. It contains the following details :
The assembling of Mexican troops in the Peninsula of Yucatan
and hf Colombian troops in the Isthmus of Panama, where all
the veterans of Peru art anllecting—the activity with which
ships are being built for both these Republics in the ports
of the United States--the departure of the Asia to double
Cape Horn, and the junction of all the Colombian and Mexi-
can forces in . the Pacific, leave no doubt of the resolu-
tion to attack Cuba. Toe English do not oppose this pro-
ject, as was at first Imagined. It is also to be observed that it is
under these circumstances that the United States send deputies to
the Congress at Panama, and have chosen them front among their
distinguished Statesmen ; they are Messrs. Crawford and Galatin.
Theinhabitants of Cuba have exact information of all these pre-
parations, and look forward to great events. The last letters from
that island announce, that on the 224 Nov. there was a populous
tumult in the village of Regla, two leagues from the llavannah ;
though it was appeased it much alarmed the Members of the Go-
vernment, who see the danger of a general crisis become daily
more imminent.

[From the Pitote.)
CORTI:, JAW. 1.

Twenty-six Hydriot vessels under Mantis have kept in check
for twenty days the whole Turkish fleet before Patras, and whenever
the Turks have attempted any offensive operation, they have been
obliged ro return into their lines with loss. The delay of the Greek
fleet in joining the Hydriot squadron induced Mianlls to leave the
Gulf of Naupachus, to remove as soon as possible the trifling diffi-
culties which detained the other divisions so long at Spezzia.
An English packet, which quitted the coast of Acamania twelve
days after the departure of Aliaulis, yesterday brought us news that
the Greek fleet, of 67 sail, wilt many fire-ships. had doubled, on
the 22d ult. Cape Papa. A few days before Sachtury met near
Selo two Turkish frigates, convoying 20 transports, He burnt one
of the frigates, disabled the other, and took all the transports. The
last news which we have received from the Peloponnesus are very
satisfactory. Ibrahim Pacha had attempted to open himself a pas-
sage by Acrata, but he was attacked there by tondos, who killed
many of his men, and obliged him to retreat. Another Egyptian
corps was landing at the same time at Salons, hut the brave Rome-
lints drove it back to the beach, and it re-einbarked ; so that this
expedition had no resale whatever.
Ibrahim Paella, after having completely failed, and lost many
men in his march to Arista, retreated into Naupachus, where he
hastily embarked on board the Egyptian vessels, crossed the Gulf,
and marched against Missolonghi. \Viten he arrived before the
place he immediately gave orders fur a general assault, but the gar-
rison behaved with firmness, repulsed the enemy at all points, and
obliged them to retreat into the entrenchments of the Seraskier.
111issolonght having been besieged for a few days by sea, began to
want provisions, hut on the re-appearance of the Greek fleet, all the
communications were free.

talked of but a new expedition to Mexico, for which we want no.
thing but ships, sailors, troops, and, above all, money. Yet It
seems that the new form of government which rules us ought to
have supernatural means to give triumph to a cause which so nearly
affects its interest.
Every body complains of the dearth we suffer, but we bear it
with resignation, because we always expect a favourable political
Change.

PAR JAY. 24.

The Ministry have just advanced one step towards the new
States of South America; but it is not even half • recognition ;
it Is an Act which we do not know how to characterize. Em-
ployes have been appointed to reside at the respective governments.
They are charged to take care of fur commercial interests, but
have not the tide of Consuls, et even of Agents, because that
would imply • kind of recognition. They are under the depart-
ment for Foreign Affairs, and hare, it Is said, by their instructions,
received orders to correspond only with the Minister of Marine.
They have no appointed mission, their passports being their only
letters of credit.
Such is the false result of • false position. We hope, but do not
expect. that their mission will have the effect anticipated. %Ve
know only the Dames of three of the new agents: M. 'Martin, for
Mexico; M. Chaumette lhafosses, for Lima; and M. °orgy, for
Cannon.

We have several times called the attention of our readers
to the General Joint-Stock Company, projected by M.
Lartri r, for the promotion of French industry. In
another part of this days paper they will find an article
from the Constitutionnek, explanatory of the proceedings
that have taken place between the Directors of that in-
tended association and the French Government. The
jealousy of all popular measures which characterises the
statesmen of the Continent has, it will been seen, crushed
the design, than which we can imagine nothing more per-
fectly free from political objection.

t ..."'

The Edinburgh Reviewers, in their article on Mr.
A,lt'ut.t.ocit's discourse on " Political Economy," after
bringing forward various reasons which should induce
every one to acquaint himself—as far as he is able—with
this comprehensive science, add, that " in addition to all
these reasons for the general cultivation of this most im-
portant and most practical study, there is one other consi-
deration also arising out of the aspect of the times, that is,
probably, of greater weight than any we have mentioned.
We allude now to the rapid and remarkable progress which
Me lower orders ate making in this and all other branches
of knowledge—as well es to the distinction and visible
predominance that attaches in public life to those who can
counsel on it with authority. Of all the derangements
that can well take place in a civilized community, one of
the most embarrassing and discreditable would be that of
the working classes becoming more intelligent than their
Employers. It would end, undoubtedly, as it ought to end,
in a mutual exchange of property and condition; but could
not fail, in the mean time, to give rise to great and ttriscently
disorders."—We consider this intimation as very full of
meaning, although conveyed in terms which wrap up much
of its true import. We have ourselves no objection to any
improvement that can be given to the lower classes of so-
ciety, because we consider that whatever tends to advance
the intellectual condition of mankind, tends likewise to
their mural amendment. On this account we would with-
hold from them no means of instruction which they are
fairly capable of receiving, because we should say, the more
enlightened they arc, the more pure, peaceable, and orderly'.
will they be in that relative situation in the community in
which they are ordained to move. lf, owing to the in-
crease of Mechanics' Institutions and of Rickey() Lec-
tures, the working classes should even chance to become
" more intelligent than their employers," we bad imagined
that the only consequence would be, that their conduct
would be so much the more rational and exemplary. But
if—as we are here told—this undoubtedly will and one,/
to end " in a mutual change of property and condi-
tion," we freely confess that such a APIVOLUTION as
this is a result which we did not at all contemplate,
and which the reflective part of the public, we are
sure, will not look forward to without alarm. The
" great and unseemly disorders," which are to prepare the
way for this "mutual exchange," will be—if we understand
this language at all—very much like a breaking up of the
foundations of social order. If the study of political eels-
nomy really tends to bring about such an overthrow as is
here glanced it, the less it makes a part of popular educa-
tion the better : but, according to the Edinburgh Reviewers,
" the lower orders will never be either contented, tranquil,
or comprlable, till they are generally imbued with some, at
least, of its most important doctrines." If the fact be so, we
can only say that the teachers of this science ought to take
great care what direction they give to the minds of the
multitude; for otherwise, judging from the present opera.
tion of their doctrines, the " unseemly disorders'. will be
upon us before we are aware.
Hitherto the lower orders have not apparently benefited
much by their instruction in this new school of science. The
course pursued by them under the combination system is a
melancholy proof of the small price they set upon the rules
of justice, in settling what they may at any time conceive
to be their rightful claims. But, according to the doctrines
of the Edinburgh critic, this does but speed forward the
desirable end without at all intercepting the blessings it. is
to bring with it. " Combinations and 'strikes of work,'
says he, "may be nccersary, upon any variation of circum-
stances, to bring things sooner to their proper level—like
shakes given to a clogged engine, or the jerks df a machine
not working sweetly—but they never can effect the grand
results." When we look to the spirit that is abroad, and
to the aspiring body of scholars that are to be imbued with
such opinions as these, we fear that to the commercial part
of the community, and to the manufacturing industry of
the country, " the grand results" will be perilous in the
extreme.

We have drawn attention to this article in the Edinhurg,h
Review, from a conviction that it is calculated to do harm,

by bringing into odium the science which it is manifestly

mast desirous to advocate. However we may object to
the application of the principles of the new school of Poli-
tical Economists as ill-timed, we still consider them as
having opened a field of valuable iuyuirv, and have no
wish to see their researches brought into disrepute. On
the :mbject of free trade they carry their system much fur-
ther than we think it can be safely followed, because its
operation is uncertain, and its result incalculable; but we
still have no objection to the endowment of Lectureships
or Professorships in this science, nor to any courses of in-
struction delivered at the Mechanics' Institutions. We
have no fear, should even the working chases become
" more intelligent" than their employers, that it will ever
end as the Edinburgh Revitlem think it osg/a. We are
willing to admit in candour that their language on this
head was unguarded, and that they would be among the
foremost to disavow the dangerous consequences which they

~.
~

have given their opponents occasion to draw from it. Our
only desire is to caution them in these tittles against the re.
petition of it.

CITY, FRIDAY EVENINO.

The Stock Exchange bore an improved appearane, this
morning. Then was a good deal of business doing in the
British Funds. Thc opening pike of Consols was 8U1; a
large quantity of Money Stock being thrown on the market,
there was very soon a cline to 80. The quotation afterwards
advanced to 8o ; but from that point gradually fell to 1,
at which it closed. For the Account Consols were improv-
ing, they opened at bui and finally reached a. The price
for Money varied to 3to j leas than for the Account.
Small Excheyier bah.; were at 4s. prem., those for larger
sums at par and 1 discount.
In the Foreign Market there was little business transact-
ing. The prices -,..ere nearly the same as yesterday.
Colombian Birds were .58,1, Mexican 681, Brazilian 63.
Greek Bonds were in great request, and consequently rose
I per cent. ; Russian were 84, and Spanish 141.
In the Share Market everything is still languid. '
Anglo-
Mexican Shares were selling at par ; New United at 6.
The other Cetepanies are unworthy of notice.

• Yesterday, at two o'clock, the Srst Cabinet Council, to
make arrangements fur the meeting of Parliament, was
hPld'itrihe Secretary of Stag's Office for Foreign Affairs,
in Downing-street, which sat in close deliberation till near
nee o'clock. There were present at the Council, the Earls
of Liverpool, Harrowby, Westmorland, and Bathurst, the
Duke .of Wellington, Mr. Secretary Peel, Mr. Secretary
Canning, Viscount Melville, Lord Bexley, Mr. Huskisson,
the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Mr. Wynn.
Yesterday the Duke of Atholl transacted business
at the Secretary of State's Office for the Colonial Depart-
ment.
THZ LORD CH A NCILLOR.—The answer to the inquiries
yesterday, as to the health of the Lord Chancellor, was
that his Lordship was somewhat better.
We perceive by a St. Petersburgh Journal of the 26th
December (7th January), with which we have been
favoured, that the article which appeared in the Muniteur
of the 20th, and the Journal de Paris of die 21st January,
was a literal transcript from the official account in the
Itusiiin paper. There is not in that account throughout
any assertion that cries for a constitution were hearth.

broken down from nearly the corner of the Engineer
barracks to the Castle of Santa Catalina. Between these
points the wall runs zigzag, and they are, more or less, fol-
lowing up its course. The weather has been so stormy
lately, and a heavy swell rolling in from the Atlantic, that
the Terre-plein of the rampart became undermined, and a
considerable portion of the parapet fell in. The parapet is
at least 22 feet thick ; and from the ground to its crest is
748 feet in height. This parapet has got no brwrquetie. In
the event of an attack from sea it would defend nn im-
mense army drawn up behind it. They are going fast on
with the work, and two-thirds of it are already completed.
The General (Guidon) has been engaged here these last
three weeks, inspecting the whole of the division under his
command, particularly those stationed at Chiclana, Puerto
de Santa Maria, Xeres de la Frontera, &c."
By letters of the 6th of Murata. from New Orleans, it
appears that much distress existed there, in consequence of
the small demand for produce on European account com-
pared with the abundant supply which the market was
likely to receive.
A letter from Singapore of the 19th August states, that
on the 11th of that month his Majesty's ship Larne
brought into harbour the American brig Governor Endi-
cott, of about 280 tons burthen, which she had detained
for a contravention of treaty, in endeavouring to trade
with Singapore, the privilege of trading by the Americans
being restricted to Calcutta, Madras, Bombay, and Prince
of Wales Island. The Captain of the American brig
admitted that he intended to trade with Singapore, but
protested in warm terms against the seizure, as being a
violation of the rights of nations, unsanctioned by any
particular article of the treaty in question. The Captain
of the Larne, on the other hand, maintained his right to
make the seizure, and the question excited considerable
interest at Singapore. The American Captain was waiting
for an opportunity to send his account of the affair to New
York.
The letters from Hamburgh through Holland, received
yesterday, are dated the 20th inst. They fully confirm
the report of the assistance given by the Senate of Ham-
burgh to an old and worthy senator. The amount given
in one letter is stated at nearly 120,0001. sterling ; in an-
other at 30,000/. The accounts frotn St. Petershurgh by
this conveyance state that perfect tranquillity continued to
prevail in the Russian capital. At Hamhurgh the frost
continued to be intense. The letters from Holland say
that the thaw had commenced there. _ _ _

There is only one instance on record of a Senator in
Hamburgh and his affairs were in such a desperate
state, and so extensive, that all common aid could be of no
avail. The circumstance of his proceeding in state to the
Senate House, and his tesignation of his dignity, forms
still a favourite therm with the citizens of Hamburgh.

Letters from Augsburg, received on Thursday, mention
the failure of the eminent banking-house of Carli and Co.
of that city.
We are sorry to state that another American house at
Liverpool has suspended payment.
The Sheerness bank has re-opened fur the payment of
its notes, but not for general business at present.

Monday last, at which Messrs. Lockyer, Browne, Kers-
will, Prance, and Govett, were appointed assignees ; and
Messrs. Harris, Rowley', Harris, and Co. Treasurers to the

In consideration of the late pecuniary calamity here,
Government have most handsomely caused all pensioners
and half-pay officers to be supplied unusually early with
the pay-tickets to Christmas, and instead of supplying the
latter with bills of exchange the orders were peremptory on
the Treasury department of our dock-yard.--Plyourath

STATE Or TOE COUNTELV.-At Darlington one-third
of the people are out of employment ; at Norwich 10,000 ;
at Huddersfield there is quite a stagnation • at Nottingham
and Leicester half the bands are unemployed. In the
greatest part of the manufacturing districts, one-half
at least of the operative mechanics are out of employment,.
not including such as are employed in the manufacture of
hardware. The letters from all parts of Scotland, but
particularly in the districts of Dundee, Arbroath, Aber-
deen, &c. state that the various works are stopping daily.
Factories to a large extent have already stopped, and the
greatest alarm is beginning to prevail with respect to em-
ployment for the people. In the districts last mentioned
we are assured that one-fourth at least of the hands are
out of employment, and the number must increase daily.
Manchester, which, with the rest of Lancashire, seemed
for a time untouched, according to the letters last received,
is in as distressed a condition as Scotland.—Leeds In-
lelligencrr.
Tue. (hors 'f Kans.—We alluded in our last to the'
very unsatisfactory state of this branch of manufacture,
and to the fears entertained that the masters would be ulti-
mately obliged to dismiss a considerable number of their
hands ; although this painful step has not yet been taken
to any considerable extent, still a partial discharge has
been found necessary, and much individual distress is con-
sequently felt, the first symptom of which is, that the
goods, &c. of the discharged workmen are daily finding
their way to the pawnbroker's, and it is to be feared that
the parish pay must ,ultimately be resorted to. As it is
obviously the interest of the city and county to use every
effort to avert the serious injury which threatens the glove
trade (which gives employment to upwards of 30,000 men,
women, anti children) we again beg to suggest the pro-
priety of petitioning the legislature, at least to delay the
introduction of foreign ,gloves. The master glovers are
already preparing petitions to this effect.—Worcester
