'LONDON, SATURDIY EVENING, NOVEMBER 10, 1849.

cession from 33 to 991ars, for we are called on by
it to consent to sacrifit without being authorised to
exact new efforts on tlpart of the company. Let
the company agree to ecute extensive works—let it,
for instance, execute tibranch line from Avignon to
Toulon, which has a gat military importance, and
then it will be time tehink of according it the ad-
vantages demanded, bi which nothing at the present
moment could justify Such being our views, we
must call on the Atmbly not to adopt M. de
Mouchy's amendment.-(Applause.)
M. St. Beuve thougbhat the Government was either
doing too much or notnough. The present Bill was
only a sort of half-misure, which would not have
the effect of reviving pvate credit, and without such
revival the undertakinief the Marseilles to Avignon
Railway would be onl:a bad affair.
On the Left—W hats that to us ?
M. St. Beuve went o to say that M. de Mouchy's
proposition would havebe immediate effect of giving
confidence, and wouli thus ensure the completion
of the line without delay. Short concessions tended
to favour stock-jobbitt. In England, where the
contrary practice was ursued, railways crossed the
country in every diretion. What was wanting in
France at present wa, to re-animate the spirit of
enterprise. Enough hd been done in the way of
declamation against bakers and jobbing; the essen-
tial matter at present was to produce acts. The
amendment would, he conceived, produce a most
beneficial effect, and h, should, therefore, support it.
Lherbette spoke in strong terms against the
practices of jobbing, wlich, he affirmed, was always
connected with railway matters. He reminded the
Assembly that the Government of the Monarchy had
fallen less on a political question than on one of
morality.—(Elear, hear, on the Left.) The Consti-
tuent Assembly had felt deeply on this point, and had
even gone the length of interdicting any representa-
tive to be the director of a railway company.
A Voice—lf your theory is sound, you ought to
insist that the landed proprietors should not vote on
matters of taxation.
M. Lherbette must observe that questions of
taxation were matters of general and not private
interest.
Another Voice—The principles of morality which
you speak of are as old as the hills.
were as old as nest just neeri stated—(Noise.
On the Left—Silence on the benches of the
Reactionists !
On the Right—Silence on the benches of Ledru
Rollin's commissioners !
M. Lherbette—But it was because they were thus
old and respectable that they ought to be observed.
M. de Mouchy again defended his amendment, and
called on the Assembly to adopt it.
Several Members having expressed a wish to speak,
the discussion was adjourned to the next day.
The rumour of the appointment of M. CARLIER to
the head of the Police is confirmed.
According to the Evenement Count FLAHAUT will
be appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs. Count
FLAHAUT was a favourite officer of the EMPEROR,
and, it we mistake not, was at one time attached to his
household. His Bonapartist principles prevented his
advancement under the Restoration, but after 1830
he was fiequently employed in a diplomatic capacity
by LOUIS PHILIPPE. Count FLAHAUT is married to
an English peeress in her own right, the Baroness
KEITH, only child of the late Admiral Lord KEITH.
M. RIVES, the new Minister Plenipotentiary of the
United States, was received on Thursday by the
PRESIDENT of the Republic. The PRINCE was most
gracious ; but he observed, that in consequence of the
differences that had arisen between the two Govern-
ments, he would have been deprived of the honour of
receiving him if, instead of being a Republican
Minister, he had been a Monarchical Ambassador.
Les Presce contradicts the statement made in La
Patrie, to the effect that the French Government had
dispatched a courier from Paris on the 15th ult., to
St. Petersburgh, to explain to the CZAR that the
sailing of the French and British fleets towards the
Dardanelles was the effect of a misunderstanding.
The trial at Versailles still drags its slow length
along.
.The Marquis of LANSDOWNE arrived in Paris on
Thursday.
The intelligence from Algeria comes down to the
31st October. The siege proceedings at Zaatcha
were going on regularly, but no new attack had
been made since that of which we gave an account a
few days back, and which our readers may remember
had proved unsuccessful. The cholera still continued
its ravages, although the accounts from some points
of the colony are decidedly more favourable.
11. Rives, Minister of the United States, in pre-
senting his letter of credence to the PRESIDENT of the
Republic at the Ely4a Nationale, accompanied it
with the following observations :
" Monsieur le President,—lts presenting to you the
1. tter of credence which I have been charged by the
President of the United States to deliver to you, I
should very imperfectly comprehend the spirit of my
mission, and the views and feelings of those I am coin
missioned to represent, it I were not to assure you, as
the chosen head of this great nation, of the sincere and
cordial friendship which the people and Government of
the United States cherish for the people and constituted
authorities of the French Republic. There are no two
nations, we persuade ourselves, which can have strong, °r
motives, whether in the recollections of the past or the
sympathies and interests of the present, to cultivate a
constant good understanding and fraternal intercourse
with each other. Under the influence of this sentiment,
the most arsient vows are formed everywhere in the
United States for the happiness of France, and the
consolidation of her liberties upon the sure basis of order,
religion, and respect for the law, which you, Monsieur
le President, on a late august occasion, so justly pro-
nounced to be the distinguishing characteristic of a tree
people. If, in the performance of the honourable trust
with which I have been charged, I should have the
good fortune to be instrumental, in any degree, in
strengthening the natural bonds of amity and friendship
between France and the
,United States, I shall have ac-
complished my mission in the manner which will best
answer to the wishes and intentions of my Government
as well as to my own most earnest desires."

Madrid journals of the 3d have arrived.
In the course of the sitting of the Chamber of
Deputies Senor ARRAZOLA announced, in reply to a
question from Senor Mort, that it was the intention
of the Cabinet not only to bring forward their pro-
mised projects of laws on the liberty of the press, on
personal liberty, and on the conflicting nature of the
civil and military powers, but also to introduce other
measures of not less importance.
The Budget for 1850 has been presented to the
Chamber.

GERMAN Y
- AND

THE NORTHERN STATES,

AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.
Not content with murdering the brave Magyar
generals, the Red EMPEROR, surpassing in cruelty
his prototype NERO, wreaks his vengeance on the
unofTending wives and children of his victim. Hav-
ing murdered the husband and father, he robs the
mother and children eves of theist clothes, and leaves
them to nakedness and starvation. General DAIWA..
141 ELI, who was one of the Red EMPEROR'S victims,
has left behind him a young wife. Immediately after
his murder the officers of the Austrian Treasury :sei zed
the whole of his property. They even took the personal
effects of his widow, and the gowns and other articles
of clothing of Madame DAMIAaICU were sold by
auction. Even the Jews were so disgusted that they
would not attend the sale, and the officers of the
Austrian army, who were the sole bidders, bought
them at their own prices. One of these chivalrous
heroes purchased a magnificent velvet robe for half-a.

crown.
We are informed that there are sundry Englishmen
who are officers in the Austrian service. It would
be well that their names should be published, in order
that all honest Englishmen may avoid them, should
they dare to pollute their native land (which has cast
th-m forth) with their pre se nce.
The Journal des Debats contains a letter from
Vienna, 31st ult., giving the
.following account of
the National Bank of Austria :—" The Bank of
Austria has eleven branch establishments, one at
Prague, another at Brunn, Buda, Gratz, &c. The
object of these branch banks is to exchange bills for
bills, bills for cash, or cash for bills, and to reimburse
the bills of the Central Bank drawn on them, and to
draw on the Bank of Vienna. None of the branch
establishments discount bills of Exchange, except
that of Prague, where the discount is 4 per cent.;
there is a discount bank also at Brunn, but it is regu-
lated by a commercial committee, and has its funds
supplied by the head establishment. The Bank of
Vienna, like that of France, is influenced by passing
events ; in periods of crisis it has, with the egthorisa-

tion of the Government, opened temproary credits to
the great commercial establishments of the country, and
:hereby saved them from ruin. The greatest act of im-
portance performed by the Bank, has. however, been to
assist the Government itself during the late political
shocks, and to have enabled it, in spite of the enormous
military expenditure, to avoid the necessity of levying
extraordinary taxes, and to wait for the most favour-
able moment to contract a loan. The debt of the State
to the Bank, comprising the floating debt, is large, but
the new loan, as well as a part of the Sardinian
indemnity, are to be devoted to diminish that obliga-
tion. As the revenues of the monarchy will augment
by the regular division of the taxes, and as the ex-
penses of the army will necessarily decrease, the
Government will be enabled to pay off the remaining
portion of the debt, and thus the bank will again
return to its ordinary modes of business, and render
that assistance to the public which it did before the
events of 1848."
Since the month of November, 1848, the court-
martial at Vienna has pronounced not fewer than
1,600 sentences. In Galicia courts martial have also
been established, and one of them recently condemned
a priest to imprisonment for having spoken ill of the
Emperor of RusslA.

PRUSSIA.
General KLAMA, who had left London for Berlin,
was not allowed by the Prussian Government to
pursue his journey ; he was arrested at Dusseldorf by
orders from Berlin, and conducted on the 6th to the
Belgian frontier. On leaving Dusseldorf he was
loudly cheered by the inhabitants.
The Berlin journals state that it is proposed to
establish an " association for the emancipation of
nations by moral improvement," and that MM. DE
LAMARTINE, ARAGO, COBDEN, Frsonnorr, Prince DE
WALLERSTEIN, SCHUSELKA, and others, have been
communicated with respecting it. A " Popular
Congress" is to be held at Liege in February, to
draw up the statutes of the association.
According to the Western German Gazette, the
Archbishop of COLOGNE has just quitted the Prussian
territory, in order not to submit to certain measures
of the Government.

CEN TEAL tiERIVIANY.
, redo cz 77 ..Ga zel te, under date of Frankfort,
the supposition that war will be resumed with Den-
mark. Tie report is already heard that the army of
the empire, under the command of General PEUCKER,
is held in readiness to march ; and that preparations
are being made in the Duchy of Nassau, which tend
to confirm these warlike reports.
The Senate of Frankfort resolved in its last sitting
to adhere to the treaty of 30th September, for the
establishment of a Central Provisional Commission.
The Frankfort Journal announces that on the in-
stallation of the new Provisional Central Commission
the fortress of Radstadt is to be occupied by a mixed
garrison of Austrians and Prussians.

RUSSIA AND TURKEY.
The Patric publishes the following letter from
Odessa, 26th ult. :—" The Turkish garrison of Galatz,
composed of 1,600 men, has just received ;.orders to
march immediately for the fortress of Choumla, in the
Balkans. This fortress, as is well known, has in
every war resisted the reiterated attacks of the
Russians. Varna has also received a strong garrison.
All the Turkish troops who were in the principalities
of Wallachia and Moldavia have just concentrated
themselves and made a retrograde movement. The
Russians are therefore for the moment alone in the
principalities. The Pacha FUAD EFFENDI is expected
every day at Odessa, whence he will embark for
' Constantinople. General LUDERS left Odessa on the
21st to return to Bucharest."

SWITZERLAND.
The Gazette of Berne announces that MAZZINI has
been expelled from the Bernese territory.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS,
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
matel at from 8,000 to 10,000 bales, nearly half of
which were taken on bpeculation. The market was
ac.ive and prices wero well supportetrr—ilitilway Shares
were quiet though firm.
The accounts from the manufacturing districts notice
an increase of business within the last two days, espe-
cially at Manchester.
An illustration of the greater abundance of money is
afforded by the apparently diminished demand for ac-
commodation at the Bank o' England. The circulation
arid advances upon securities have both been reduced,
while the amount of the precious metals has again been
added to. Still we must notice a withdrawal of private
deposits, which, after their having attained such a great
height, will excite no surprise, The following is a com
parison with the previous week:—

The movement made by the head men in the railway
world for establishing a more efficient system of audit,
will, if steadily carried forward, tend to pacify the exist-
ing excitement or arrest the prevalent despondency.
The disposition when in a dilemma to call upon the Le.
gislature constantly for help is but puerile after all, and,
as Messrs. Railton, of Manchester, write very fairly :
" For Parliament to interfere in railways would be
very unwise, after the specimen you have had of its
treatment of these matters since 1845, when it broke up
"i•-• -erev department of the Board of Trade, under the
I? ea or it. Os,„ ability to manage railway af-
fairs. It need only to be taus • referred -to to
be perfectly understood, that it widely opened the door
to hurry on the completion of railway disaster. If prac-
tical men, of acknowledged competency, cannot be found
by railway stockholders themselves, there is, it is to be
feared, but little hope remaining for future and final
permanent railway prosperity ; and to what a position to
reduce the most noble private adventure that this or any
other nation or people ever embarked in, with
the certain means in their power for satisfactory cora-
-1 pensation ; if Parliament, the proprietors, and the public,
would real y unite, and take the right means for accom-
plishing the true end in view! But shareholders must
not sleep. The least possible delay should take place
before remedial measures be adopted, or the evil-minded
(so long as the power remains to them) may be as rife
and secretly active as heretofore."
For ourselves we almost despair of shareholders as an
acting body, They whine and sacrifice their property,
declaim against mismanagement, stigmatise directors,
and yet do nothing themselves to place railways on a
sounder footing.
An excellent state of things is disclosed in the official
return of exports made up for the month ending
October 10, the total being 5,627,0921., against
4,901,6461. to the like date of 1848. Taking the eight
months, the increase is 8,295,5541.
The exports of the precious metals from London
during the week to Thursday last were 50,434 ounces of
silver coin and bars, and 4,0001. in bullion.
