4PHALEL'S PROPHETIC MESSENGER,
.5.; 1850, Halt: a-Crown.

Raphael refers to the fulfilment of his predictions in the Prophetic
Messenger for 1849, particularly to the fatal climax the cholera. at-
tained on the 10th of September, the amount of deaths numbering 432
in the metropolis on that one clay. The predictions for September,
1842, open with this memorable notice :—" One of tile most important
of the configurations of the month is the quartile aspect of the ian and
Mars on the 10th." "It was from the stellar orbs afflicting this sign
that the celebrated William Lilly was enabled clearly to predict the
great plague and fire of London."

THE PEACE CONGRESS.

money ; but the fact was this—•that she had new r been
able to get any money since.—(Cheers) He thought,
however, that they took a proper estimate of the
right of that Government to ask for such a loan.
There was another great Northern power in the
market for a loan of money. lie only read it in the
papers of yesterday: It appears that Russia had
published an ukase inviting credit for 3,000,0001. or
4,000,000/. It wad proposed that there should be an
issue of Treasury B )nds. He found it stated that
the loan was intended to cover the expenses incurred
in the war in llungary. What now became of the
boasted riches of the Russian Government ?—(Bear,
hear.) Were they not told that Russia had taken
2,000,000/. of the Austrian loan—that she had lent

, . .
500,0001. to the Pope, and 200,0001. to the Grand
Duke of Tuscany ? Now, he declared that he would
not give 251. for what was selling at 1081. by the
bulls and bears. From the bottom of his heart he
thought that Heaven had ordained in his Divine
Providence that when there wail a warlike spirit and
huge standing armaments, there should be also
bankrupt exchequers, and a poor, miserable,
and degraded people. If God had not willed
it even in this world that the consequence
of such wicked courses should be severely felt by
mankind, he would doubt vecy much he should ever
see these evils remedied. At the next congress they
would have a resolution proposed condemnatory of all
interference in the national affairs of other countries.
Where one independent nation was invaded by another
and a stronger power, on the hypocritical pretence of
conferring a benefit upon it, every principle of justice
and right was violated. There had been a doctrine
promulgated here lately in reference to Hungary,
which had afflicted him very much. It had gone
forth by the leading organs of this country, by the
mouth
_of the Foreign Secretary himself, that the
Gcvernment of Austria had the sight, by the law of
nations, to call upon a neighbouring power to put
&own their own people. Tnis was not a question of
the law of nations, but I question of the responsibility
of the governor to-the governed. If the Ernperor of '
Austria could call upon the Cossacks to cut down the
liberties of his own subjects, why there would be an
end of all responsibility, and an end of all motive by
which the people should have the slightest chahce
of getting good government.—(Loud cheering.) He
regretted to hear such a doctrine broached here,
when he recollected that for about two centuries this
country had successfully maintained that the people
were the sovereign source of all power.—(Cheers.)
He was sorry to Lind a portion of the daily press of
this country hunting on the Cossacks and the Rus:
sians in the most unjust, unwarrantable, and wicked
invasions of a much more civilized, fair, and interesting
people.—(Loud cries of " The Times," followed by
much hissing.) He implored of those representatives
of foreign countries who were present to believe that
these journals do not represent the opinions of the
people of this country, nor the heart of the people of
this country. The Hon. Gentleman concluded by
recommending the utmost perseverance in the course
they were now pursuing in support of these prin-
ciples, as they would no doubt ultimately obtain as
glorious a victory here as " they had already achieved
upon other questions of equal importance to the
people. The Hon; Gentleman having moved the
resolution, resumed his seat amid the most enthu-
siastic cheering.
Mr, JOSEPH STURGE briefly seconded the motion,
and it was carried unanimou,ly.
The meeting was then addressed by M. FREDERIC
BASTIAT, M. 110RA.CE SAY, and other foreigners.
The usual vote of thanks having been given to the
chairman, the meeting separated.
