The Epoca asserts that on the return of the Court
to Madrid Senior Bermundez Castro, Minister for
Foreign Affairs, will tender his resignation.

MADRID, Sept. 9.

The Central Progressist Committee have inter-
posed their authority to terminate the dispute be-
tween the Iberia and Soberania Nacional, to the
great relief of the public, who are growing weary of
a quarrel that had degenerated into a mere inter-
change of personalities between the directors of the
two periodicals. A communication addressed to the
Iberia by the committee announces that a meeting
had been held to consider the best means of termi-
nating the polemic. After having heard explana-
tions from both sides, whence it appeared that no
difference existed with regard to political principles
or conduct, the committee hope that the parties will
allow the dispute to drop, thus affording another
practical proof of the harmony and discipline pre-
vailing in the party.
Great efforts are being made to remove any dissi-
dence among the Progressists with respect to Espar-
tero and Olezaga. It has been represented in both
quarters how greatly-the strength of the party would
be weakened by the continuance of such a spectacle
of division as it has lately afforded. Senor Olozaga
has accordingly written to his friends that, if his
personality be an obstacle to the reconciliation and
triumph of his party, he is resolved to condemn
himself to ostracism for ever. Nevertheless the
wound of dissension is not healed, and arises
more from a conflict of ideas than mere
personal rivalry between the two chieftains. Since
1837, Espartero and Olozaga, who have held supreme
influence over the progressist party, have followed a
different political course. The Duke of Victoria is
considered rather as a lover of liberty in the abstract
than as being capable of realising a concrete and
practical system of government. Olozaga, an ardent
admirer of constitutional monarchy, has deeply
studied the institutions which have raised England
to her present greatness, and has dedicated all the
faculties of his robust intelligence and powerful elo-
quence to transplanting his ideal to Spain. Espar-
tero, the idol of the people, and enjoying the high
respect of all Liberals, both from his personal
character and great service in the overthrow of the
Carlists, is nevertheless judged by many to be, a
theorist, perhaps a dangerous one, incapable of
placing liberty upon a firm and stable basis. Olo-
zaga is associated with the constitution of 1837,
which contained, though in embryo, all the ele-
ments which enter into the constitutional sys-
tem. Since 1843 this statesman has been the
soul of the party, both in the Tribune and the
press, he has consolidated its organisation and main-
tained its faith in the future.

The clerical authorities are making great efforts
in view of the approaching elections, but it is said
that the parochial clergy are not so submissive in
political matters to their reverend superiors as the
latter expected.
The Moderadoes who reckon upon the probabi-
lities of a Mon-Pacheco Ministry are earnestly
striving to prevent the dissolution of the present
Congress. One of their organs recently published
an article representing that since the Progressists
persisted in abstention, one principal reason for the
dissolution of the Congress ceased to exist. The
finances required besides urgent and well-consi-
dered measures, which a new Congress could not
enter upon for many months. The Epoca
in
treating this subject denies all probability to any
such Ministerial combination. The Duke of
Tetuan, it states, possesses the entire confidence of
the Crown, and will be able to carry out the disso-
lution of Parliament without any obstacle.

THE PRINCIPALITIES.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 6.

It is stated here that in consequence of the recent
insurrection at Bucharest, Sir Henry Bulwer pro-
posed to the Porte and the representatives of the
protecting Powers of the Principalities to send com-
missioners to the Roumanian capital, with the view
of putting an end to the present lamentable state of
affairs. Sir Henry is said to have stated that all
the advices recently received here from the Princi-
palities serve to prove that the most complete
anarchy, together with an intolerable despotism,
prevails in those provinces, and that, therefore, the
insurrection of the 18th August can only be re-
garded as a symptom of the discontent of the
inhabitants, who are irritated to the utmost by
injustice and oppression. The representatives
of Austria, Prussia, Russia, and Italy expressed
their willingness to support Sir Henry's proposal.
The Marquis de Monster, the French Ambassador at
the Porte, nevertheless resolutely protested against
the proposition, and was warmly supported by
Aali Pacha. The Porte appears to have no in-
terest in protecting Prince Couza. But it cannot
have escaped the notice of so keen an observer as
Aali Paschs.,that after the fall of the present ruler
the inhabitants of Moldo-Wallachia would almost
unanimously request the protecting Powers to name
a Prince aa'their sovereign. An arrangement of this
charact,would be equivalent to a total loss of the
Danubian. Principalities by Turkey, and would
overthrow the bulwarks of integrity behind which
she has weathered so many storms.

General Lamoriciere.

Another noteworthy name must be added to the
necrology of 1865. A telegraphic despatch an-
nounces the death, on Monday night, at his château
of Prausel, of the famous General de Lamoriciere—
famous no less as a general than as a minister and
a representative of the people.
Christopher Louis Leon Juchault de Lamoriciere
was born of Legitimist parents at Nantes, February
5, 1806, so that he had not yet attained his 60th
year. From 1824 to 1826 he was at the Polytechnic
School, thence he was sent to the school of applica-
tion at Metz, and at length obtained a commission
in the engineers, starting for Africa as lieutenant
in the Algerian expedition. The Ist of November,
1830, saw him a captain, and from that time his
fortunes were brilliant, as his merits were distin-
guished. When the corps of Zouaves was formed
our hero joined it, and was remarkable for his in-
telligence and his audacity. In 1833 Gen. Avizard
gave him the direction of the " First Arab Bureau,"
and in the same year he became cef de bataillon of
Zouaves; then (December,lB3s) lieutenant-colonel;
colonel, November, 1837, after the siege of Con-
stantine, during which he was wounded by the explo-
sion of a mine. After a year in Paris (1839) he returned
to Africa in 1840, and distinguished himself at

, •
Mouzaia, and was made marechal de camp. In 1843
he became lieutenant-general ; in 1844, comman-
dant of the Legion of Honour ; in 1845, ad interim
governor-general of Algeria.

Lamoriciere had passed through 18 campaigns in
Africa, and (June 5, 1841) deservedly received high
praise from Marshal Bugeaud after the affairs of
Tagdempt and Mascara. In 1844 he signalised him-
self at the battle of Isly, and in 1847 organised the
famous expedition which resulted in the capture of
the Emir, Abd-el-Kader, by the Duke d'Aumale,
his reward for which was his promotion to the rank
of grand officer of the Legion of Honour, Jan. 14,
1848.

Two years before this last affair, in 1846, Lamo-
riciere had been returned to Parliament by the
College of St. Calais (Sarthe) ; he had failed a
couple of months before in standing for the
Ist arrondissement of Paris. He joined the ranks
of the Opposition, and was proposed as Minister of
War in the combinations of which Thiers, Mole,
and Barrot were the guiding spirits. On the
memorable 24th of February, 1848, Lamoriciere
appeared on the scene of the revolt in the uniform
of a colonel of the National Guard, and proclaimed
the abdication of the King and the Regency of
the Duchess of Orleans. His horse was killed
and he was wounded—in fact, he was only saved
from certain death by some workmen more rational
than their comrades. Under the Provisional Go-
vernment he was offered the Ministry of War, and
also the military command of the interior, but re-
fused both. lie was, however, re-elected sixth out
of twelve for the department of the Sarthe. During
the fearful days of June he warmly supported
Cavaignac, and put down the insurrection at the
Faubourg Poissoniere and at the Bastille. From
June 28 to December 20 we find him Minister of
War—the most moderate of the Democratic party,
an eloquent speaker, and an intelligent practical ad-
ministrator.

Lamoriciere did not oppose the Emperor in his
candidature for the Presidency ; but he disap-
proved of the intervention in Italy. He was re-
elected for the Sarthe, and elected also for the
Seine, and accepted a special mission to Russia in
relation to the affairs of Hungary, but arrived at.
St. Petersburg after the fall of the Hungarian na-
tionality had rendered his mission of no avail. He
is said to have got on well enough with the Em-
peror Nicholas, but the news of the advent to power
in France of Odillon Barrot and his friends deter-
mined him to return home at once. He opposed
(June 14, 1851) the revision of the Constitution,
and (November 17) voted for the project which
was to give to the Assembly the command of
the army. It is hardly necessary to say after this
that he was one of those arrested on the memorable
2d of December, 1851. He was imprisoned for a time
in Ham, and thence he was conducted to Cologne.
He might have remained in France by taking the
oath submitted to him, but he refused.

He lived quietly in Germany, in Belgium, and in
England, till, in 1857, the death in France of one
of his children afforded the emperor a graceful op-
portunity of inviting the veteran to return uncon-
ditionally to France, and Lamoriciere was enabled
to pass his last year in his native country. It would
have been well if he had staid there instead of head-
ing the ridiculously abortive expedition of a few
zealots to defend the Pope from his own people.
The piety of a French general must have been of a
singularly pronounced kind when it led him to ruin
his reputation as a soldier for the sake of the Ponti-
fical cause. In his proclamation he actually com-
pared the " revolution" in Italy to The
Italian Government were furious. Fanti and
Cialdini took Perouse, annihilated Lamoriciere's
army at Castel-Fidardo, besieged him in Ancona,
and forced him to capitulate. In his report of this
pitiful affair Lamoriciere complained of the decep-
tion practised on him, and the failure of the sup-
port which he was promised. He forgot that, high
as might be his own reputation, and brilliant his
own exploits at the head of his own national troops,
there was small chance of success for a body of ill-
drilled, dispirited Italians combating their own
countrymen.

Latterly Lamoriciere has not been much before
the world. His last achievement was a quarrel
with Cardinal Antonelli, in which he defended the
French troops from the cardinal's strictures in
reference to their prosecution of the vagabond
brigands, whose existence is a scandal and a disgrace
to the Pontifical Government.

INHUMAN ATTACK UPON A MOTHER.—On Satur-
day night in the village of Holymoorside, situate
about four miles from Chesterfield, a very brutal attack
was made on an old widow, aged 75, by a profligate son
who had been in the army, but was soon " drummed out."
On Saturday night he had been drinking at Chesterfield,
and his mother went to fetch him. He went with her to a
publichouso at Holymoorside, and had more drink there.
At a late hour ho went home with his mother, being ac-
companied by a woman with whom he co-habited. They
had not been in the house long before he knocked his
mother down, kicking her in a most frightful manner, and
she lay as though dead. On the following morning Drs.
Fould and Robinson were called in, and they found her
face one mass of cuts and bruises, her nose being smashed
to pieces. Several of her ribs had been knocked off the
spine, and the bone had penetrated her lungs. Her sides
were one mass of bruises. The surgeons gave no hopes of
her recovery, and the son was apprehended. Yesterday he
was brcught before Mr, E. G. Maynard and Mr. G. Heath-
cote. Inspector Gorman stated that the surgeons had no
hope of the recovery of the woman, and hd had to ask for
the prisoner's remand. Prisoner said both he and his
mother were "fresh," and he did not know that he had
dol it. The Bench remanded him, and ordered the depo-
.'sitione of the poor woman to be at once taken. Prisoner
has never done anything to support his mother, and she
has onlybeen kept alive by parish relief.
COBDEN AS A RELIGIOUS MAN.—Although not
obtrusively communicative on public occasions of points of
religious faith, Mr. Cobden was a really religious man. A
frequent remark of his was—" You have no hold of any man
I who has no religious faith."—MGiWriat's Life of Cobden.
