THE SITN. LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 21, 1849.

tainly could not complain, because they wonld
practically receive as much as was paid for
similar duties before the introduction of the
present monetary system, but it would afford but
trifling and most inadequate relief to the industrious
classes, whose labour, their only capital, would still
be taxed by 29.30ths more than it ought to be.
The true remedy would be either to reduce all
fixed payments as well of public officers as of
public creditors, of landowners, and all others
having claims under contracts entered into
previous to the enactment of the present monetary
code, or to return to the ancient system, under which
the nation enjoyed unparalleled prosperity, and was
enabled to sustain the enormous expenses of the war.
The former of these courses would be impracticable,
in consequence of the difficulty of adjusting the
various contracts to the scale of the period when they
were entered into, but it would be perfectly easy to
achieve the latter, and to return to a perfectly
equitable system, under which no class or individual
would be aggrieved, where the full justice would be
rendered to the entire community. That, then, is
the great object to be attained, and for that the in-
dustrious classes—for they are the chief sufferers—
should struggle with all their power. Every argu-
ment adduced in favour of Mr. HENLEY'S motion
would apply with tenfold force to the latter arrange-
ment. That, then, we should wish to see adopted,
but in the meantime we would accept the proposition
of Mr. HENLEY as an instalment of justice, an instal-
ment the granting of which would eventually insure
the full satisfaction of all the reasonable desires of
the people; and we would not refuse to accept it
because it was brought forward or supported on erro-
neous and mistaken principles.

Profound interest will be felt by the reflective
portion of the community in the prolonged discus-
sion which commenced last evening in the House of
Lords on the foreign policy of the English Go-
vernment. With the skill or the eloquence of the
debaters we have nothing whatever to do, our
attention being wholly absorbed by the paramount
importance of the subject forming the theme of
their observations. That subject

say, without exaggeration, the debate was
pose,
nothing
ge mayless than a contest between the present and
the obsolete systems of diplomacy as represented by
those statesmen who sympathise in the cause of De-
mocracy and those who sympathise in the cause of
Absolutism. It was only the revival of a contention
witnessed at the commencement of the century; for
as CANNING endeavoured in former times to effect an
alliance between Great Britain and all other Consti-
tutional Powers, so does PALMERSTON now-a-days;
and as ABERDEEN strives to force the country into the
deadly embraces of the AUTOCRAT and his myr-
midons, SO did CASTLEREAGH of yore. The
latter project is essentially conducive to warfare, see-
ing that it necessitates a rupture with the powers of
Western Europe, those being the countries in our own
immediate neighbourhood ; whereas the former, for
an exactly contrary reason, is necessarily and inevit-
ably of a pacific tendency. Now, England has paid
too dearly for her insane subserviency to the Castle-
reagh school of diplomacy, to be very easily entrapped
again into the pitfalls of pecuniary embarrassment.
A national debt of 800,000,0001. is to John Bull the
best of all Remembrancers as to the
temerity of the foreign policy advocated
by the apologists of despotism, and glorified
by the aristocratic panegyrists of the KAISER and the
AUTOCRAT. Every year since that malign policy was
first in the ascendant, as a nation, we have been
paying " through the nose" for the satisfaction of a
clique of absolutists. England has suffered too
bitterly from the effects of her former foolishness,
therefore, to be bamboozled by the cajoleries, the
sophisms, and the misrepresentations of those ultra-
conservative diplomatists whose interest it is to
render England pliable to the stubborn will of
a northern coalition, instead of allowing her to
assume her rightful and natural position as the
leader of all emancipated nationalities, as the arbiter
of the destinies of the world, as the avenger of injus-
tice, and as the mould or the prototype of every new-
born Constitutional Government.

The illustrious statesman at the head of the Foreign
Department of the Administration has recognised
from the first the necessity of impelling the foreign
influence of Great Britain along the only channel ac-
cordant with our national dignity, congenial to our
insular interests, and obedient to our constitutional
destinies. He has recognised the advisability of making
the preservation of amity with the rest of the world
compatible with the retention of our political honour,
and with the enhancement of the historical glory of
our reputation. Witness this ! not only the records
of his long and brilliant career as Foreign Secretary,
but in a particular and paramount degree the course
of his policy during the anni mirabill 1848 and 1849,
years of appalling unexpectedness and tremendous
difficulty. Upon one or two points it would have
been well, doubtless, for the fame of Lord PALMER-
STON had he acted with more decision, and spoken
with less ambiguity, but reviewing the whole of the
tumultuous epoch across which he has conducted the
British Government without any diminution of our
national dignity, and without rashly committing the
fortunes of the country to the hazard of battle—we
do conceive that he has displayed the most patriotic
integrity, the most vigilant circumspection, and the
most masterly capacities both in diplomacy and states-
manship.
Let us for a moment bear in remembrance the
awful catalogue of events which have transpired
in dizzy succession during the past eighteen
months of Lord PALMERSTON'S labours at
the Foreign-office, those sudden and stupendous
calamities which have agonized Europe to her very
entrails, which would have been sufficient to bewilder
an ordinary amount of wisdom and a moderate share
of experience, calamities enumerated yesterday in the
admirable harangue of the Earl of CARLISLE. Dur-
ing that interval England has seen the disruption of
nearly all the nationalities of the Continent ; the
explosion of many consecutive revolutions ; the
expatriation of dynasties ; the overturning of thrones ;
the abrogation of treaties; the creation. and the
annihilation of constitutions. She has seen the battle
for life and death between opposing classes. She
has seen liberty betrayed; the integrity of dominions
violated ; the freedom of races outraged. She has
seen kings perjured who had been annointed with
the chrism of popularity. She has seen the perfidy
of sovereigns to the people, and the ingratitude of
the people to their liberators. She has seen Paris
twice barricaded, twice swept with cannon, thrice
under military occupation ; Vienna twice in the
hands of the population, its EMPEROR twice com-
pelled to fly, its walls once battered down
by artillery; Berlin in a continual state of
seige ; Denmark invaded ; Frankfort delivered up
to rapine and bloodshed ; Baden reduced to obe-
dience by the bayonet; Catalonia ravaged by civil
warfare, and the other Spanish provinces abandoned
to the miseries of internecine strife; Pesth and Prague
bombarded and stormed ; Milan lost and won ; Mes-
sina beaten down into ruins ; Venice assaulted by
land and sea ; Bologna attacked ; Ancona occupied,
and Rome subjected to a siege on her old Aurelian
battlements ! " During all these events," ex-
claimed the Earl of CARLISLE, after an enu-
meration of some of the most prominent
in the foregoing catalogue, " my Noble Friend was
giving his nights and days to negotiations with the
single view of averting the calamities of war, and
preserving so far as he could the peace of the world."
And, so far as England is concerned, has not that
peace been conserved ? Good GOD ! supposing the
fortunes of Britain had been committed to the care of
my Lord ABERDEEN, what might not have been the
position of the country at this present moment ?
Granted that Lord PALMERSTON, according to our
judgment, might have acted more judiciously and
more nobly for the cause of universal
freedom —had he demanded a guarantee
of moderation from the Neapolitan BOURBON prior to
the second subjugation of Sicily—had he perempto-
rily required some explanation from France of her
ulterior designs before the departure of her expedi-
tionary army to Civita Vecchia—had he insisted upon
some reference to the English Cabinet from the
Cabinet of Vienna before the Austrians dared to set
the whole of western Europe at defiance by calling in
the AUTOCRAT to her unholy assistance : yet upon

all these points the Foreign Secretary has still to
pronounce his final explanations, and, even taking
these things into consideration, we cannot but regard
his entire policy, its sleepless vigilance, its pervading
sincerity, and its pacific and conciliatory tendency,
as entitled to the admiration and gratitude of
England.

At length the pressure from without has been
acknowledged within the walls of Parliament. The
loud and incessant demands for a great and comprehen-
sive measure of financial reform have been recognised
by the popular branch of the Legislature. The
representatives of the people participate in the feel-
ings of thrift by which their constituents are
animated ; and a resolution has been adopted, pledg-
ing the House of Commons to a decided course of
economy. Nothing could be more distinct or une-
quivocal than the motion of the Hon. Member for
West Surrey, which was eventually carried, although
by a small majority, notwithstanding the Ministerial
opposition. It was not a mere abstract proposition,
declaring " that no greater amount of taxation ought
to be levied on the people than is required for the good
and efficient government of the country," or
" that a vigilant superintendence should be
exercised over the expenditure, so that every reduc-
tion should be made that would not be of detriment
to the public service." Such vague and uncertain in-
timations would have had no practical effect; they
would at once have been accepted by any Ministry'who,
whatever might be their actions, however large their
expenditure and oppressive the taxation levied on the
people, would have admitted the abstract truth of the
propositions. But Mr. DRUMMOND'S motion was of a
very different character—it boldly and decidedly
affirmed " that a greater amount of taxation is levied
upon the people than is required for the good and
efficient government of the United Kingdom ; and that
large sums are expended in supporting needless places,
extravagant salaries, and unnecessary works and estab-
lishments ; that the present taxation of the
country depresses all classes, and espe-
cially the labouring classes, by diminishing
the fund for the employment of productive labour,"
and concludes with a distinct expression of the
opinion of the House, " that adequate means should
be forthwith adopted to reduce the expenditure of
the Government." These are the facts that have
been put forward by every financial reformer, that
have been reiterated by COBDEN, by MACGREGOR, by
WAsoN, and a host of others, that have been loudly
and unanimously corroborated at the various meet-
ings that have been held throughout the entire country,
and the same conclusion has been arrived at and
proclaimed throughout the length and breadth of the
land, that " adequate means must forthwith be
adopted to reduce the expenditure of the Govern-
ment." The House of Commons has, at length,
echoed the voice of the people, and Ministers can
no longer remain deaf to the universal demand. If
they desire to retain power, they must comply with
the temperate but determined expression of popular
ft eling.

The present motion was not of a party character.
It was not intended to damage or to advance the in..
terests of any section or class, or to occasion any
change on the Treasury benches. Heretofore it was
too much the fashion to disregard the real merits of
the question before the House, and to consider only
its possible results on the interests of the great parties.
Hence numbers of these parties were frequently to be
found speaking in favour of and subsequently voting
against a measure—deciding contrary to their own
opinions because it received the support of others to
whom they were generally opposed in political ques-
tions. Mr. DEUMMOND well exposed this inconsis-
tency, which is common to all sections of the House.
On the occasion of his previous motion, to which we
long since directed the public attention, a mo-
tion which should have been carried by a large
and decided majority, but which was ne-
gatived owing to the ridiculous jealousies of
opposing politicians, a Conservative Member stated
" that he quite agreed in the motion, but could not
think of going into the same lobby with the Hon.
Member for the West Riding ;" while, on the other
hand, a professing Liberal said, " I quite agreed with
your motion, but when I saw the Conservatives sup-
porting you, I thought it high time to be off." Thus
it has ever been. The old Machiavellian maxim—
" Divide et impera," has been closely followed, and
Ministers have ruled not by their own strength, but
by the divisions and dissensions that have prevailed
among their opponents. Everything brought forward
for the general good of the nation, for the benefit of
the industrious classes, was thus postponed or ne-
glected, and the same unfortunate results attended
out-door agitation. United, the people would
have been irresistible; their wishes would have
been promptly carried into execution, but differing on
trifling points, and each refusing to make the slightest
concession, they have suffered themselves to be coerced
and guided, and their reasonable desires to be slighted
and despised by a weak minority, whose only real
power consisted in the conflicting opinions and want
of cordial co-operation in the multitude.

There are now, however, manifest symptoms of an
improvement in this respect, both in and out of Par-
liament. On the division on Mr. DRUMMOND'S mo-
tion, Whig and Tory, Conservative and Radical,
Protectionist and Free-Trader supported the resolu-
tion, and the natural result followed—there was a
small but sufficient majority ; and the House is now
pledged to institute a searching investigation into the
whole taxation and expenditure of the country, with a
view to the adoption of such remedies as the exigen-
cies of the case may require ; while at the meeting
which took place on Wednesday of the Metropo-
litan Parliamentary and Financial Reform Associa-
tion, Mr. FEARGUS O'CoNNon, on the part of the
Chartist body, declared, "that recognising in the
movement a means to an end, and not an end in itself,
he had arrived at the determination of giving it his
cordial support, and of assisting the coalition out of
doors, in order to meet the coalition of Whig and
Tory within." We congratulate the country on these
events, affording such propitious auguries as to the
future triumphs of the popular cause. If all parties
should henceforward consent to merge their own
trifling differences and to labour together, energeti-
cally and zealously, fer the general welfare, there
can be no doubt but that all their desires will speedily
be crowned with complete and unequivocal success.

THE FRENCH REP ITBLIC.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
The Prince of CANINO, whose arrest at Orleans
we yesterday announced, has been informed that he
will be permitted to travel to Havre under surveil-
lance, and to embark there for either England or
America.

It was rumoured yesterday in Paris that M.
GUIZOT had landed at Havre, and that he would
visit the capital before proceeding to his estate at
Val-Richer.

A long discussion took place in the Legislative
Assembly on the presentation of a petition from
General CASTELNIU and various other offic'ers
who had been placed upon half-pay by the
Provisional Government. Colonel CHARRAS jus-
tified the conduct of the Provisional Govern-
ment, and General FADvIER replied to Colonel
CHARRAS. Whilst FADVIER was speaking a "scene"
occurred between M. LAGRANGE and M. DE COISLIN,
which ended in both gentlemen leaving tie hall,
accompanied by their seconds for the purpose of
settling their dispute by an appeal to arms. The affair,
was ultimately arranged without bloodshed, mutual
explanations having been given and received.—M. Di.r-
FAURE, to his honour be it spoken, refuses to lend himself
to the vengeance and avarice of the members of the
Rue de Poictiers Club. lie will not consent to the
wholesale dismissal of all Republican functionaries
demanded by the corrupt and place-hunting coterie,
whose chiefs are MM MOLE, TRIERS, and FAUCHER.
The Presse contains the following on the reports
which have been current relative to a coup d'etat
being in contemplation during the recess of the
Assembly :
" A coup d'etat may be risked when one has in one's
hands the command of the army intoxicated with vic-
tory, and when a head is staked against a crown; but
when it is necessary to borrow both the hand and the
sword of another, a coup d'etat would be difficult
and improbable. It is well known that a coup
d'etat, which would change the constitution other-
wise than in the terms provided for by Art. 3,
would immediately absolve Barbes, Blanqui, and Raspail,
and bring back those who had been condemned by de-
fault. The army would be divided, and the Constitution
thus violated would find more than one defender, whose
impatient sword would wish to start from the scabbard.
It any attempts to change the Constitution by violence
had been intended it would have been accomplished on
the 27th May. But now that the Legislative Assembly
has been allowed to assemble peaceably, there could be no
pretension felt of making the nephew of Napoleon
play the part of Cmsar, in reviving the title of Im-
perator. That this dream has not arisen in some minds
is more than we would say, for we have heard it
talked of, but what we would say is, that it is a dream
which must vanish as soon as the eyes are opened. Be-
sides who would wish to change a limited power for an
absolute one ? The weight would only be the heavier,
and the punishment more cruel. The parties who have
talked of the reception given to the President at Amiens
may therefore set themselves at rest, for what can result
from such events ? If it is not true than an usurpation
is in contemplation, is it more true that any manifesta-
tion is in contemplation in favour of Monarchy, and to
crush universal suffrage by general acclamation ? The
prorogation of the Assembly may therefore take place
without danger. If the Republic is to fall, it will be by
the want of power of the Republicans de la Vedic, it
will be saved by the weakness of those of the Lendemain."

The following are the principal items presented in
the weekly return of the Bank of France :

Compared with previous weeks there is a further
influx of specie of 41 millions in Paris. The issue of
notes has increased nearly 1 million in Paris, and
a million in the branches. There are upwards of
two millions more to the credit of the Treasury.
Private lodgment accounts have been reduced 6}
millions. The other items present no remarkable
difference.

The Moniteur publishes a report from M. Du-
FAuxtE, the Minister of the Interior, to the PREM.
DENT of the Republic, recommending several physi-
cians and clergymen attached to the hospitals of
Paris for the decoration of the Legion of Honour, in
consequence of the zeal displayed by them during
the prevalence of the cholera. The report is fol-
lowed by a decree of the PRESIDENT, conferring the
decoration on the persons recommended by the Mi-
nister.

The committee on the prorogation of the Legisla-
tive Assembly has not yet agreed as to the period or
the terms. It is believed that the Ministers will re-
commend that the Assembly adjourn from the let of
September to the Ist of October.

ITALY.

Accounts have been received from Rome to the
11th. General OUDINOT has dismissed all persons
holding office who had been appointed either by the
Republican Government or by Pius IX., and has
substituted for them, persons who either held
office under GREGORY XVI., or are known for
their attachment to the Jesuit regime of thatyon-
tiff. This is as regards subordinate offices ; with
regard to the higher offices, Prince Messisro is re-
stored to his office of Director of the Post-office,
and Prince COMPAGNONO is Inspector. General as
before. A Commission has been formed composed of
LUNATI, to the Finances; of CAVALIERS, to the
Public Works ; and of Rossi, to the Interior. It is
said that MAMIANI had been named for Foreign
Affairs, but had declined to accept the office, which
CORBOLI is said to have then accepted.
It is now ascertained that the strangers at Rome
may be thus classified :—Poles, 200 ; French, 50 ;
Spaniards, Germans, and other foreigners, 100 ; Ita.
lians, not Romans, 3,000 ; all the rest Romans or
Romanese. GARIBALDI has succeeded in making his
escape good from the French division, who were put
upon a false scent, and he is now in the mountains of
the Abruzzi.
The conduct of the French soldiers in Rome is
likely to lead to some unpleasantness between the
French Republic and that of the United States of
America. It appears that the residence of Mr.
BROWN, consul of the United States, was violated
by some French soldiers in order to make an arrest.
The soldiers had no respect to the American flag, and
insulted the consul's wife, and wounded one of his ser-
vants. Mr. BROWN :strongly protested, and struck
his flag and withdrew.
A letter from Venice up to the 4th, states that an
engagement took place on that day between the
Venetian and the Austrian fleets, and that after a
sharp contest the Austrians were compelled to retire.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday amounted
to 800 bales ; the market was steady, but without ani-
mation, there being more sellers than buyers.—The
market for Railway Shares was fist, and prices rather
lower.
Very important, though not unusual, changes oc-
curred in the Bank of England liabilities and assets last
week, but all traceable, more or less, to the termination
of the financial quarter, and the payment of the dividends.
The great increase in the note circulation would be
still more more gratifying, however, could it be de-
monstrated that it arises from activity in trade, a
circumstance of which we cannot judge until the effect
of the dividends has passed away, seeing how exten-
sively the public and private deposit accounts have been
changed, viz., to the amount of seven million sterling in
one week. There is a reduction in other securities
which would augur no improvement in general trade,
but this, it should be remembered, is the result of re-
payments of loans made after the transfer books for
stock re-open. Of the bullion it is unnecessary to say
anything, as it is affected in the return before us by the
same causes as the other items. A comparison with
the statement of the previous week gives the following
results :

The Foreign Exchanges were quoted yesterday after-
noon for three months' Bills at almost precisely the
same rates as on Tuesday, viz. Paris, 25 60 to 65 ;
Antwerp, 25 70 to 75; Hamburgh, 13 13 to 134-; and
Trieste, 12 to 12 6. Amsterdam was 12 21 to 21, and
Frankfort 121.
The exports of the precious metals from London
during the week to Thursday last were as follow:
Gold coins, Hambro' 530 oz., and the Mauritius, 3,1141.
Silver coin to Hamdurgh 149,918 oz., Belgium 25,000
oz. Silver to Hambro' 14,800 oz., Rotterdam 30,000 oz.,
and to Belgium 24,000 oz.
From the manufacturing districts we have very favour-
able accounts again. At Leeds the demand in the Cloth-
halls has been active; at Bradford a good deal has been
done in pieces, and at Manchester the manufacturers are
largely under contract, and indisposed to enter into
fresh engagements, unless at higher prices.
The Funds are very quiet, but firmer this morning.
Consols have been 93 to for Transfer, and are now
93* f. For Timo they are 931 I. The New Three-
and-a• Quarter per Cents. have realised 93j to 94*. and
the Three per Cent. Annuities 93 to I. Bank Stock has
been firm at 199. Exchequer-bills are 475. to 50s. pre-
mium. India Stock is at 243.
In the Foreign Market there are not many changes, if
we except Mexican Stock, which is better, being 27 to 4.
The Mexican Government, it appears, has an idea of
changing the agency, because of the commission charged
for managing the debt having been too large, but
no doubt we shall have explanations OA this
point. Portuguese Four per Cents. are 30 to 1. It has
been agreed that Mr. Thornton shall send the address of
congratulation to Count Thomar, and there is a hope
that a sense of justice will actuate the Government at
Lisbon not to deduct the 25 per cent. Spanish Five
per Cents. are 18* 4. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents.
have been at 51k.
Railway Shares are firm generally, and in one or two
cases rather higher.
