TO THE MINISTER OF WAR.

" His Royal Highness the Prince of Joinville arrived
here in the Hercules on the 4th, landed on the sth, and
on the 6th left Bona for the camp, from whence he in-
tends proceeding to join our army before Constantine, un-
der the escort of the Colonel of the 26th Regiment of In-
fantry of the Line.
" The entire of the expeditionary corps had arrived on
the sth within three leagues of Constantine, without en-
countering the enemy. A great number of tribes had
abandoned Achmet Bey, and their Chiefs had made their
submission to the Governor-General.

"The Duke of Nemours, at the head of the first bri-
gade, as well as the other corps of the army, were to oc-
cupy on the 6th the positions assigned to each of them
before Constantine.

" The health of the army continued excellent, and the
weather magnificent." _ _

The following are extracts from the journals :-
The celebration of the marriage of the Princess Marie of
Orleans with the Duke Alexander of Wirtemberg was fixed
for Tuesday, the 17th. The nuptial ceremony was to take
place in a private manner, in the presence only of the
family and the necessary witnesses, among whom are M.
Pasquier, the grand referendary, and M. Dupin as ex-
President of the Chamber of Deputies, which has just
been dissolved. No one was invited to the marriage fetes,
which were to be conducted upon a very confined scale,
except Count Mulmen, the Wirtemberg Minister, Count
le Hon, the Belgian Minister, and M. de Kop, the envoy
from Denmark. The Duke of Orleans had also, it ap-
pears, invited the Prussian Generals who had come over to
be present at the rhancevres of the camp of Compiegne.
On the following day (Wednesday) it was generally
supposed that the newly-married couple would quit
the Trienons for Bavaria, where they are to reside
some time. A German paper, however, affirms that the
young Duke and Duchess are expected at Gotha, where
they intend passing the winter. The Prince of Wirtem-
berg, it is generally calculated, has about 150,000 francs
yearly income (about 6,0001.), and the Princess Marie, it
is supposed, will have about 200,000 francs, or rather more
than 8,0001. a year. Of this income, it is said that her
aunt, Madame Adelaide, insures her, for her life, 100,000
francs upon the occasion of her marriage. The King and
Queen make her magnificent presents of diamonds, pearls,
and other jewellery, to the value of about 300,000 francs.
Her regular marriage portion, however, is like that of the
Queen, a million in expectation ; and, in the mean time,
Prince Alexander must content himself with the interest of
four per cent. upon his part of the future succession of the
King of the French.

" ST. JEAN PIED-DE-PORT; OCT. 13.-We are informed
that the Carlists occupied Valcarlos during the night, and
that the fort of Perdon was taken on the 11th. Pampe-
luna and Puente-la-Reyna have their communications cut
off, or very much interrupted. It will be very easy for the
Carlists to prevent the introduction of provisions into
those two placer."
" ST. JEAN-DE-LUZ, OCT. 13.-We receive by sea the
news that on the 7th Charles V. defeated Lorenzo at Satre-
gillos, eighteen leagues from Burgos. The Christino division
was completely routed and closely pursued by the Carlist
cavalry, when Espartero, being drawn to the spot by the
report of the artillery, arrived to assist his second in com-
mand in time to save this dispersed division, which would
infallibly have shared the same fate as that of Buerens on
the 24th August.
" Ou the approach of Espartero, the Carlists not choosing
again to come to a general battle, retreated to their former
positions."-Gazette de France.
The Minister of Marine has just ordered that a general

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

In consequence of the few arrivals this morning, we are
again in the same situation as yesterday,. without any intel-
ligence of consequence.
The accounts from Manchester, received this morning,
state that the market continues extremely dull in almost all
kinds of goods ; and it was feared that not much business
would be done during the winter, and that goods would still
be lower.

The Consol Market was inactive during the whole of
yesterday, and closed rather heavy, at 921 for the Ac-
count ; Money, 921 to 92i ; opened at the same. Ex-
chequer Bills, 50 prem. ; India Bonds, 53 prem. ; Bank
Stock, 209. _ _

It was expected that the Bank Directors would have
made some communication yesterday (it being their usual
day of weekly meeting) respecting the lowering of the rate
of interest ; but no intimation has hitherto been made.
The Foreign Market was also in a languid state, parti-
cularly Portuguese Stock, which was considerably de-
pressed, and receded 1i per cent., owing to a strong im-
pression that the dividend would not be paid. Portuguese
closed at 37k—opened this morning at 36i 37 / ; Spanish
closed 20+ with Coupons ; opened at 20 ; Dutch 2}
per Cents., 53i.
The rumour in a Morning Journal, of some misunder-
standing having taken place between the Bank Directors,
does not gain much credit in the city.
The Transit steamer is hourly expected from Lisbon.
HALF-PAST ONE.
We have not a feature worth noticing to the present
time, owing to the scarcity of arrivals.
The British Funds, which were heavy in the early part
of the morning, have since improved from 921 to 924
for the Account, owing to its being a good money market.
Exchequer Bills, 50 49 prem.; India Bonds, 51 53 ; Bank
Stock,2o9i ; India Stock, 262.
In the Foreign Market very little doing. Spanish Ac-
tive 201 with Coupons ; Portuguese heavy at 371; Three

DUBLIN, OCT, 1

LETTER FROM MR. O'CONNELL.-NATIONAL MEET-
ING IN DUELIN.-Mr. O'Connell's stirring appeal to the
Representatives of his country, coupled with the distinct
declaration of the course which they are called upon to
adopt at the present important period, has, as we antici-
pated, not only produced a powerful effect throughout the
entire country, but it has also, and not unnaturally,
created a somewhat uneasy sensation amongst that section
of the people of Ireland who call themselves Conservatives.
The Mail, it appears, as well as the other creatures of
these wretched Conservatives, has received orders to buckle
on its armour of darkness, and accordingly appears to day
with a Leader, which for vile Billingsgate, and a boasting
blackguardism of tone might, without much presumption,
claim equality with the two worthies whom Mr. O'Connell,
in his letter to Lord Cloncurry, charged with having sold
to the Tories not only their pens but their souls also.
As a specimen of the manner of our Irish imitator of " the
vile and cherished instruments of Toryism" in England,
who are now writhing under the castigation administered
to them a day or two ago by Mr. O'Connell, we beg the
attention of our readers to the following extract from the
beginning of an article in the Mail to-day, containing nearly
two entire columns of the most silly sophistry and cowardly
abuse devoted to an abortive attack on the Liberator's
letter. The meek and Christian-like spirit of the writer will
doubtlessly be at once seen, and save us the trouble of
making any lengthened comment on the conspicuous merits
of this chosen organ of Irish Orangeism. The thus
commences :—" We know that the quarry has spied his
danger when we see him crouching with fear ; we know
that the arrow has sped when we hear the shriek of the
smitten. But no pleasure of the chase could reconcile us
to its cruelty, were we not assured that our game was ver-
min, or savage—the felon fox, or the marauding tiger—the
plunderer of the hen-roost, or the devastator of the village.
Then, indeed, are our energies in vigour ; then do we de-
light in running down the prey—then have we legitimate
joy in his growls for quarter that he never gave—and his
howls for justice' which he never acknowledged ; and in
proportion to the strength and savageness of the monster
s our excitation in the pursuit, and our triumph at his fall :

Oh, the blood more stirs
To rouse a lion—than to start a hare.
" A yell has come from Darrynanc—a yell of despair,
mingled with the ferocity of desperation. Secure as the
monster thought himself in his den, the hunters have
thridded all his fastnesses, and surrounded him in his strong-
hold ; and he roars for very consciousness that escape
is impossible. Imagination pictures, in the colours of rea-
lity, events still forthcoming ; and fear—the most imagina-
tive of all the passions—feels the arrow, that has not yet
twanged from the bow, rankling in his side."
Well may the Pilot, after language so brutal as this,
infer that the party to which th Mail belongs, and of
which it is the enlisted fugleman, are pushing matters to a

crisis, and that " under the banners of bigotry and the sti-
mulants of fear, seek to obtain once more that power and
plunder through a convulsion which they despair of obtain-
ing through the Constitution or even the abuse of its forms.
Words mean deeds in these times, and it is impossible to
take up the Orange papers without feeling, from such
worth as you there meet, that a party who are repre-
sented by such ferocity, bigotry, and hate—want to tran-
slate their passions into congenial acts. Take up but the
last few numbers of the lu ail, for instance, and it is impos-
sible not to be startled by the conviction."
