LONDON, THURSDAY, Novneisa 11, 1904.

Yesterday we received letters and papers from Paris,
dated Monday and Tuesday. From our Correspondent
we have given en interesting lettcr, ?meeting the present
aspect of political affairs in France. The Etoile contains
an ardele on the evacuation of Spain, from which it ap-
pears that that measure has been resolved upon eleflai-
tively. The French army will be withdrawn, excepting
certain fortresses, pursuant to the stipulations of the
areftdotion concluded on the Seth of July last. The
-wretched Spaniards may look forward to a winter of 110 -
-7071. With such agents of power as Goxzatr', the In-
tendant of Police, what enormities will not be perpetrated !
The wholesome restraint arising from the presence or tl.e
French will be gone; and unlimited vengeance will be
taken upon all who have, " by any act whatever," mani-
fested their repugnance to the wild excesses of the leaden
of the Faith. In all probability, the Inquisition will bo
re-established, in order that the victims of despotism may
be condemned and punished with more secrecy and expe-
dition.

The French rentes on Monday were lolf. Soc. for Inc.ney, and loef. .se. for the account.

A review of the state of Ire:and at the present moment,
contrasted with its condition at the same period in the last
year, is calculated to justify the gratifying assurance, that
the measures which have been adopted within the last
three years have gone far towards suppressing the insur-
rectionary spit it, and allaying the discontents of the lower
classes of the people in the disturbed districts ; and to en-
courage a hope, that a firm pet severance in the same re-
fiective and judicious policy may ultimately restore the'
tranquillity of the country, and establish it upon a stead-
fast and permanent basis.
Although a considerable progress had been made in
quelling the disturbances in the south of Ireland, in the
cause of the last two years (IS2Q and 1623), it must be
recollected, that this time twelve mouths the Insurrection
Act was in force over the whole of the province of NI un-
seer, with a few exceptions, and that nightly outrage',
murders, conflagrations, pluta/er of arms, and all those
excesses which called' for e interference, still pre-
vailed to a frightful degree throughout that provider. At
the present moment it is satisfactory to remark,
that the Government has ho.-. 1 enabled gradually to with-
draw the Insurrection Act from the greater part of the
province of .Munster; anti tl!tit the outrages which last
year kept the whole of that part of the country in a con-
stant state of tcryn, Lar.v ceased entirely in most places,
and are of very rare ace-air:nee even in the few district*
which still, to a certain degree, continue disturbed. It
is also tatisfaeLin y ru observe, that in these particular
instances the disturbane_s may be asen ihed to !oral and
temperare causes. The counties of Waterford and Kerry
are p‘..rft...t!y tranqrtr. and free from any rusurrtetionary
disturbance or weer: se.
In Cork, all the baronies except two are in a state of
perfect rranquElity ; and eve:t in time baronies (which
are but partially disturbed) very few outrages occur.
The Insurrection Act has Lceu suspended in the greatest
id, with a partial exception,
have listen relieved front its
these counties is peaceable,
that they will continue so.

The county of Ctaas is tranquil, with the exception of
one district, which is rapidly returning to a state of order
and subordination. The general state of the province of
LEINSTEZ is free from disturbance, and the Insurrection
Act has no operation in that province, except in the county
of Kilkenny, where, as appears by a recent statement in
the Kilkenny newspaper, the Act has been coatinuc.l in
force at the recommendation of the Magistrates of the
county, as a measure of precaution, from their apprehen-
sion of the prevalence of a bad spirit amongst the people,
rather than from the actual existence of outrage, or of any
insurrectionary movement.
The province of CONNAUGHT is tranquil, and released
from the Insurrection Act. Uarren is in a state of great
comparative prosperity. The manufactures of the North
afford sufficient employment for the peasantry, and the ex-
citement to disorder is consequently withdrawn. Com-
merce has received a fresh impulse from the repeal of the
Union duties, and from the recent removal of the restric-
tions upon the commercial intercourse between England
and Ireland.
Bstrsar exhibit.: a Rene of bustle and activity scarcely
exceeded in the busiest quarters of the city of London ;
and the credit of the North of Ireland stands so high, that
English capitalists are investing their money at 4 per cent.
in that part of the country. But unhappily this fine dis-
trict is not without its disturbances, although they are
quite of a different character from those which distract the
South. 'I he disturbances of the North are occasioned
solely by religious prejudices, and by the Oas xoe proces-
sions, which seldom fail to produce a contention with the
Catholics, who believe they are persisted in for no other
purpose than to insult and annoy them. These processions
are still observed in many parts of the country, notwith-
standing that some efforts were made in the last summer,
by the leaders of the Orangemen, to dissuade their party
from continuing them. The Sth of November, however,
has passed over without the offensive commemoration of
King %Vitalism, and we augur, from this triumph of good
feeling and good sense, that this cause of tumult will to-
I tally disappear. The general state of Ulster is that of
repose, and there is no prospect of its interruption.
Amongst the causes which have produced a favourable
change in the state of Ireland, it is fair to enumerate the
abundance of the late harvest, which precludes all fear of
scarcity, as also the advance which has taken place in the
price of cattle, of grain, and of every description of agri-
cultural produce. When men find in the profits of their
labour a provision for their wants, they are content, and
I quiet follows in the train of comfort. There are, how-
ever, other causes of a more permanent nature, the bene-
ficial operation of which is daily becoming more apparent.
The beneficial effect of the Tithe Act has been very con-
siderably extended, and is advancing gradually and steadily
by means of voluntary compositions between the clergy and
their parishioners; the arrangement has, with scarcely a
single exception, proved satisfactory to both parties. One
of the principal sources of the discontents of the peasantry
has been removed by this arrangement wherever it has been
adopted ; every day its tranquil tendency is more seen and
felt, and no doubt is entertained that it will soon become
general.
Very great satisfaction has likewise been given to the
lower orders of the people by the improvement that has
taken place in the Magistracy of Ireland, and by the esta-
blishment of an efficient Police under the Constable Act.

When the purification of the Magistracy took place,
some fault was found with the manner in which the Chan-
cellor carried the details of that measure into effect ; and
it was alleged that some were removed who ought to have
been retained on the list of Magistrates, and that many
were suffered to remain who ought to have been displaced.
In so extensive an arrangement, it was scarcely possible
but that some such instances should occur : the general
result of that measure, nevertheless, is creditable to the
Chancellor ; and the praise of it ought not to he withheld
from him. A greater degree of activity and vigilance was
infused into the whole body of Magistrates by the revision,
and many who were indolent and inattentive before it
took place, have, since then, become active and efficient.
The establishment of Peitv Sessions has also been a
main cause of the improvement which is generally felt and

acknowledged.
The publicity of the proceedings, and the presence of
several Magistrate's on the Bench, has given satisfaction
and confidence to the people ; at the same time that it has
had a favourable influence, in the way of useful check and
restraint, upon the Magistrates themselves. Violence of
temper, or any disposition to an arbitrary extension of au-
thority, is infinitely more likely to be kept in check in an
open Court, and in the presence of several brother Magis-
trates, than in the comparative privacy of a justice
chamber in the mansion of the Magistrate ; and on the
other hand, the well meaning, but timid Magistrate, has
no fear of committing an offender to prison, although he
may be the favourite retainer, or tenant, of a neighbour-
ing squire.
The establishment of the Constabulary Police through-
out the country, has placed at the disposal of an improved
Magistracy, a power which has been found perfectly com-
petent to put the law in force ; whilst the care which has
been taken to select proper persons for the office o 7 inspec-
tors of the police, and of chief constables, and to employ
them in districts remote from their connections, and where 1
they are not liable to be acted upon by any local influence
or party feelings, added to the readiness shown by the Go-
vernment on all occasions to punish any unwarrantable se-
verity or stretch of power on the part of the police, has in-
spired
the lower classes with a degree of confidence in the
impartiality and efficiency of the civil power, which has
had an evident effect in diminishing their inclination to
take the law into their on•n bands, from a consciousness
that from any other Lands they should obtain no redress.
' The respect and good will manifested towards the civil
power at the late ceremonial of laying the first stone of the
new bridge at Limerick, where the maintenance of peace
1 and good order was, for the first time, confided to the con-
-1 stable's staff of office, and this too amidst a great concoura-
of people, affords a satisfactory proof of the prevalence of
this good feeling, and justifies the expectation that it will
be permanent.
This subject, frcm its importance, has carried us some-
what beyond our limits; and, from the detail which it em-
braces, we are impelled to postpone our concluding ol'ser-
satious till to-morrow.

We undel-rtand that the author of the letter signed
" Henry Fauntleroy," and published in the Mot rang
Herald of Monday, is a person calling Linuself the Rev.
Robert Taylor, who haslatterly made hitivolf busy in preach-
ing against Christianity. ile attempted ni practise a similar
imposition upon us some thole ago. We then advised him to
make his next essay where the cretittli.y of the editor might
seem to hold out some chance of 611MeSS, but we certainly
did not direct him to the Herald office. We hope the
Editor of that Paper did not pay touch fur the wretched
hoax which he ushered so usu:ntatiously to hi► readers.

I crated wafers upon the steps of the altar, the Archbishop of Paris
issued a mandamus, in pursuance of which the following ceremo-

prayers analogous, were said or sung. At the church of Sweeney,
in addition to the above, the tabernacle remained open, its contents
were taken out, and the high altar was stripped of its napkins,
candlesticks, reliquaries, &c. After the psalm and anthem, the
Archbishop, in person, went in procession to bring the consecrated
wafers lean the place where they had been deported to the high
, altar, where, with a torch in his baud, and wearing the alb only,
without the stole, he did pc:latter: ; after which the consecrated
wafers were restored to the tabernacle, and the mesa Pro repose-

We lam from different pans of the kingdom that the rivers

The waters of the Marne and the Seine are very high. In the

torrents of rain fell without intermission in the department of the
Meuse. That river having broken its banks, the waters, by ex-
tendiog to the valleys, and particularly to the Wocvre, have ren-
dered the roads impracticable, and lamentable consequences arc ap-
prehended. Letters of the 3d instant, from Lyons, announce that the
Sewn within three days had swollen in an alarming; manner, end
that an inundation is expected. The Journal de 14 Moselle con-
tains lamentable details relative to the overflowing of the rivers,

GERMAN AND FLEMISH PAPERS.

(From the Brussels Oracle. I
LEGHORT. OCT. M.

We have just received from Missolonhi a piece of news that Is
highly important to all the friends of Christianity. It seems that
the Greek Senate is going to make an appeal to all Christians in
the four quarters of the globe, to take part in a vast crusade, the
object of which would be. the conquest of Egypt and the lloly Se-
pulchre. This appeal will be also addressed to the Knights of
Malta, whom the Greek Senate will urge to join this holy army.
and will offer them at the same time one of the islands of the Archi-
pelago as their property.
It is well known that the Order of Malta last year entered into
negotiations with the Greek Government, the object of which was,
the cession of an Wand in the Archipelago, and that a loan was
contracted for at London, to pay for the acquisition. It is also
known that the Order had made new statutes for the admission of
persons of the mOdle rant of society un certain conditions.
The plan of the Greek Senate cannot fad of complete success, at
a time when all the civilized world rejoices in the triumphs of the
brave Greeks. and when the Viceroy of Egypt has disappointed the
hopes of the friends of civilization, by joining his troops to those of
the ferocious 31tEselmar.s to enslave the Mores. All the warriors
who arc subjects of his Most Christian :Majesty will be eager to
march against the barbarians, who defile, by their presence, one of
the moat interesting countries in the world. The Scaniards, the
Portuguese, and other nations who navigate the Mediterranean,
will not fail to enlist under the banners of the Cross in an enter.
prise so interesting to humanity and the honour of Christendom.
The possession of the Holy Sepulchre by the Turks is a disgrace
to the Christians, and it is full time to rescue it from the infidels,
and place it in the hands of true believers.
All the Christian Powers will approve of the measures proposed
by the Greek Government, and will doubtless protect it by all the
means in their power.

EXTRACT OF • LETTER FROM CONSTANTINOPLE,
DATED OCT. 8. - .

" There is a report of misunderstandings between Russia and
Persia, between Persis and the Porte, and between Russia and the
Porte, but there is nothing certain; they are but reports.
" Just as I am closing my ktter, about 30 Greek ve,-els, taken
by the Turks at Ipaara, are entering the harbours; but the joy
which at another time would have been caused by the arrival of these
prizes is greatly abated by the report which has been for some deys
in circulation of a third victory gained by the Greeks over the
Turkish squadron in the Archipelago."

[From the 411 gen;ine Zcitung.]
iItAXIFOBT. OCT. n.

According to what we hear of the Leipzic fair it has not answered
the expectations formed of it. The Russians, on whom great hopes
were placed, hare done almost nothing. It is affirmed that they
had not yet been able to get over the frontier' of the empire the
goods which they bought at the Easter fair. The rise in the price
of barley in the Dutch ports, in consequence of the great demand
for England, has already had an effect in these parts. This grain
rose at .3lentz, ins few days, from 1 H. 50, to 2 H. 29 kreutzen, with
an improving demand.

The arrival of the Tiger, from Mexico, from which she
sailed on the 11th September, and from the land on the
18th, caused some bustle on 'Change yesterday. The in-
telligence she brings is in the highest degree satisfactory ;
every thing in that quarter being tranquil, and the proceedings
of the Anglo-Mexican Mining Company going on better
than even its most sanguine friends could have anticipated.
The result is, that the shares of that Company have risen
four per cent., being in the morning at 22 premium, and
before the exchange closed, they were greedily bought cp
at 28. It was to have been expected that a corresponding
rise would have taken place in the Mexican Funds, but this,
from some unaccountable cause was not the case, in fact we
believe that a strong party of the Stock Exchange have an
interest in hearing these securities, and for this purpose
various rumours were busily circulated in the course of the
day. The report of a Spanish flotilla having sailed for
Mexico was revived upon the faith chiefly of alleged letters
from Gibraltar. We have already given it as our opinion,
that Spain is incapable of sending an expedition to sea, and
even if we were to believe this report to the fullest extent,
what effect can be produced by two frigates, a corvette, and
three transports, in counter-revolutionizing the continent
of South America? There came a story of a new loan:
all the world knows that the loan alluded to was con-
tracted long since, and was to come out in January next.
In short, we believe that ere long, more especially if the
accounts from Peru are not unfavourable, the South Ame-
rican Securities must rise. Little was done in our own
Funds, and in that little they were rather depressed.
The following is from the British Consul-General :
" Cadiz, Oct. 30, Mt.—One , two corvettes, and
three transports, sailed this day for Ferrol and Corunna,
to take in troops in the North of Spain, for South
America."

Extract of a Letter. dated Cadiz, Oct. 48 :—" Nothing
is more certain than that the Spaniards arc making every
effort to send out an expedition round Cape Horn; and
for this purpose several small vessels and two frigates sailed
from Cadiz for Ferrol and Corunna, to be there equipped
with all alacrity."

The Sicilian Mercury, of the llth ult., presents us with
an instance of tyranny at once ludicrous and odious. The
Govenior-General of Sicily had been pleased to appoint,
and the King of Naples to approve the appointment of.
three persons to actin Provisional Nlembers oldie Chamber
of Commerce at Palermo ; ■ situation of no emolument.
Two of these persons, it appears. Lenzitti amt Rossi, had
declined the intended honour, at first without assigning any
determinate reason, and afterwards on the score or pretence
of ill health, whereupon the Governor-General issues an ad-
dress, expressing great indignation that any subjects of his
Neapolitan Majesty should reject the Royal favour, and
excuse themselves from the duty of serving t'... State in
any situation to which they may be raised by his Alsjesty
and not only so, but actually making the self-denying gen-
tlemen, Rossi and Lenzitti, accept and exercise the func-
tions of the office conferred on then', whether they will or
not.
