gradual liquidation of the- public debt, but let it come
from the only legitimate source—from the owners of
accumulated and realised property. We pity Mr.
DISRAELI; the calibre of his mind is far beyond that
of even the most talented of his associates. He
cannot hope to raise them to his own level, and as
he is not yet prepared to abdicate his recently-
acquired leadership, he is obliged to sink to theirs.
He can discuss the justice and expediency of "equal
taxation," but he must abandon his own desires at
the bidding of his mutinous cohorts ; he can per-
ceive the propriety of a new arrangement of the
land-tax, but he must relinquish the project in obe-
dience to the murmurs of his rebellious followers ; he
is capable of great things, but he is " cabined,
cribbed, confined " by the baser material with which
he is unfortunately associated, and by which all his
higher and nobler impulses are checked and restrained.
Much might be expected from him if left to himself,
and permitted to carry out his own generous imagin•
ings; as it is, he is only enabled to gild the
meaner metal, which he is compelled to offer as
sterling gold for the acceptance of the British nation ,
to clothe the worn-out fallacies of the Protectionists
in the garb of poetry and eloquence, so as in some
respect to conceal the squalor of their rags.

r LIE FRENCH REP ÜBLIC.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
The split between the Bonapartists and the Legiti-
matists is becoming every day wider, and the former
will most probably throw themselves on the Repub-
licans for support. M. MIRES is by no means so
Bonapartist as he was some months since; he
is becoming a devotee, not to say a bigot; nowhere
have the Jesuits a more staunch defender,
nowhere has the parti-pretre a more ardent
or a more unscrupulous partizan than M. Timms.
In the Committee on the Roman question he
leads the party which is willing to accept the an otu
proprio of the POPE as sufficient, and which treats the
letter of the PRESIDENT as non-official. He is op.
posed with great spirit by M. VICTOR HuGo, whose
proposition that the French army shall not be with-
drawn until after the evacuation of the Roman
States by Austria, will, in all probability, be
adopted.
The Conilitutionnel has the following on the Ro-
man question :
" A rumour has been spread that the differences
which hare arisen between our diplomacy and the Court
of Rome are becoming more envenomed every day.
We think we have it in our power to state, on the con-
trary, that a certain amelioration has rather taken place
in our relations with the Court of Rome."
A discussion has arisen in consequence of a corn-
phint made by a member of the Montagnard party,
that the Itioniteur, in its reports of the debates in the
Assembly, gave to the members the appellation of
Monsieur, instead of Citizen. M. Durna endeavoured
to get rid of the question, by observing, let us call
each other monsieur, and behave like citizens, but a
polemic has nevertheless arisen on the subject, which
seems likely to occupy the public attention for some
time.
The American difficulty is on the eve of settlement,
thanks to the friendly interposition of the Marquis of
NORMANDY.
Signor PINETTI, the agent of the ce!ebrated Roman
banker ToaLoma, has arrived in Paris.
According to the Presse, the French fleet at pre-
sent at Hyeres has been ordered to proceed to
Smyrna.
The Messager du Midi of.Montpellier, of Friday,
says :—" The too famous LOLA MONTES, Countess of
Landsfeldt, arrived yesterday at Montpellier, and
alighted at the Hotel Nevet. She left the same even-
ing by the diligence for Perpignan."
A letter from Toulon of the 3d announces the ar-
rangement ot the differences between the Emperor
of Moaocco and the French Government. The EM-
PEROR had granted the satisfaction demanded.
The following statement appears in La Patrie :
"We are assured that the Government has received
~fficial accounts that the Vienna Cabinet had delivered
passports to the Turkish Minister at that Court. On the
other hand, a courier extraordinary, who arrived
at Vienna on the Ist inst. from Constantinaple,
brought official news that the Ministers of Russia and
Austria, accredited to the Porte, had demanded their
passports. The rupture in that case would be complete."
The Journal des Debats says :
" The Vienna papers ot the Ist October announce
that, the Austrian Ambassador at Constantinople has
'emended his passports in consequence of the Divan
having refused to give up the Hungariln refugees. To
Phis news public rumour adds that of the departure of
the Austrian fleet for the Dardanelles. We hope soon
co learn from Vienna, as we learned yesterday by a
tettvr from the Lsvant, that the affair ot the extradition
will produce no disagreeable result for the peace o
Europe "
