TUESDAY
_EVENING, SEPTEMBER 25, 1849

" You are Ministers of France, gentlemen—l am
only an exile ; you have power, gold, armies and
multitudes of men dependent on your nod. I have
only consolation in a few affections, and in the breath
of heaven, which speaks to me from the Alps of my
country, and of which you, inexorable in persecution,
as are all those who fear, may yet deprive me. Yet I
would not exchange my late with yours. I bear with
rue in exile the calm inspired by a pure conscience.
I can fearlessly raise my eyes to meet those of other
men, without the dread of meeting any one who can
say to me, You have deliberately lied.' I have com-
bated, and will combat again, without pause as without
fear, wherever I may be, the wicked oppressors of my
country—falsehood, in whatever shape she may clothe
herself, and the powers which, like yours, rely upon
maintaining or reinstituting tho reign of privilege, upon
corruption, upon blind force, and upon the negation of
.the progress of the people ; but I have fought with loyal
arms; never have I sullied myself by calumny, or do-
graded myself by using the word assassin against *no
unknown to me, and who was. perhaps, better than
myself. God save you, gentlemen, from dying in exile,
because you have no such consciousness with which to
console yourselves."

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

The Paris journals or yesterday have been received.
The Assemblee Nationale is mystifying the
whole capital, attracting attention to itself, and
driving Red Republicanism out of its wits, from sheer
vexation and bewilderment, by its revelations of even
the most secret meetings of the ultra members of the
Gauche and their partizans. Two or three Socialists
cannot collect together to decide upon such and such
a course, but what, lo ! the very next day every par-
ticular appears in the columns of the Assemblee
.Nationale—names, dates, resolutions, everything, with
the utmost particularity. Only the other day a
meetingt
was
ssworn to secrecy,
anda ton theretwhe it was resolved that eachheld by a chosen few,
should personally
call editor, and demand his authority for
ng certain
facts and referring to certain names,
stating
when the next morning a report, as if taken by a
short-hand writer, appeared in the paper, giving every
word that passed. The Ultras are almost beside
themselves with annoyance.
Meanwhile the Journal des Debats has at almost all
the " parties" in succession. True to the hatred of
M. BERTIN, senior, towards the EMPEROR, that
organ opposes the cause of the imperialists with the
utmost virulence. It ridicules, moreover, the fantas-
tic hopes of the Legitimatises. And as to the Red
Republicans, it speaks of them, in its impression of
yesterday, in the following language :
These fine fellows fling a whole nation into the
water, and then cry out ' Now, swim if you can! As to
ur, we shall concentrate in the delightful privacy of our
families the filtes of the glorious anniversary of 1792.'
And they talk of re-action! Truly, it becomes them to
talk of that! What are they, if not the most backward,
the most fossil of reactiunists? Let us not forget that
besides a reaction of red heels and ailes de pigeon, there
is one also of the bonnet rouge and the carmagnole. France
will not have either the one or the other."
Only one party is allowed the meed of praise by
the Debats, and that party is the party of the
Orleanists One morning the Orleanist organ, as the
Debats is beginning to be considered, contains a vin-
dication of the policy of the ex-King Louts Pm-
urrE, from the pen of the ex-courtier M. CUVELLIER
FLEURY. Another time it gives insertion to an
attack upon M. PASSY'S system of finance, by M.
DUMON—an attack as extravageintly bitter as tbas
made by M. LACAVE LAPLANGE on the financial sys.
tern of M. GARNIER PAGES.
Seven communal schoolmasters in the department
of the Allier have been dismissed by the Govern-
ment for having taken an active part in the return
of Socialist candidates at the last general elections.
The Vic E-PRESIDENT of the Republic, accompanied
by the Ministers of Public Works and Commerce,
left Paris on Sunday forenoon in the Rouen steamer,
on a visit of inspection down the Seine The works
lately executed for improving the navigation of the
river are to be successively visited. The inspecting
party are to return to-night to Paris, by the railway.
M. DR Fauoux's speedy removal to Versailles for
country air is looked on as certain.
Mr. Rivxs, who is to succeed Mr. RUSH as Mi-
nister of the United States to the French Republic,

RE PENINSULAR MAIL.
SOUTHAMPTON, MONDAY, MIDNIGLIT.—TiIe steam-
ship Jupiter, Captain Meehan, bus arrived with the
usual Peninsular mails. ller dates are—Gibraltar,
15th; Cadiz, IGth ; and Lisbon, 19th inst. She
brings ten pelages of specie and a large cargo
of fruit.

At Lisbon financial affairs 'continue in a most
deplorable state, and great discontent prevailed in
consequence of the parties comm;tting late robberies
not having been punished. Business completely
stagnant.
Lisbon exchanges on London, 531; Gibraltar,
ninety days, 50i.

We are authorised to state that the reports which
have been circulated that the " Hecate" bad been or-
dered at abort notice to the Cape of Good Hope are en-
tirely unfounded. No vessel has been ordered specially
for that destination.
There ought to be a healthful ambition the stub-
born staff of preserving longevity; it must live on, and
hope for the day which comes slow err fast, whose labours
discern the good.—Eliza Cook's joo.rnal.

vented the inhabitants from opening their gates to the
French troops, MAE3INI says--
"The rum& r fore,gners' who ast.is tut in the de-
fence of Rome was from 1,460 to 1 500 mer ; from
WOO to 1,500 men amorest a total of 14,000; for it is
well that Italy should know that 14,000 men, a young
army without traditions, and improvised under the
very fire of the enemy, held in cheek for two months
30,000 soldiers of France. You know all this, gentle-
men, or you could have known it, and therefore you
otght to have done so iand nevertheless you shame-
leisly gave out to the Assembly the number of
foreigners' as 20,300, as a proof' that after all it
was not the Roman idea that you had endeavoured to
stifle in blood; and upon this cipher of your own in.
ve3tion depends the greater part of your argument.
Fcreigners ! I entreat pardon of my country for having
inscribed the word, after you, upon my page. What !
Lcmbards, Tuscan,, Italians. foreigners at Rome ! And
it .5 by you, Frenchmen, by you who in re-establishing
the Pontifical throne, have been supported by Austrians
and Spaniards, that this reproach is made. A year ago
our provinces sent the elite of their youth to fight upon
the plains of Lombardy as to a convention of honour; but
I do not remember that Radetzky ever called them in his
proclamations foreigners. The absolute denial of Italian
nationality has been reserved for the nephew of him
who, at St. Helena, uttered these IN ord.:--‘ Unity of
manners, of language, of literature, show that Italy is des-
tined to form a single country.' "
The number of foreigners, properly so called, who
were fighting in the Roman ranks was only 300, viz.,
200 Poles, and the Foreign Legion of 100. The rest
were all Italians.
But it is a work of supererogation to expose any
further the misrepresentations of men, who stand, as
stand the Ministers of the French Republic, self-con-
victed of falsehood. In the French Constituent As-
sembly
M. ODILON BARROT solemnly declared on the
16th of April last—
We are not going to Italy to impose a government,
neither that of the Republic nor any other
We do not wish to employ the forces of Franco to de-
fend in Rome one form of government or another. No ;
our intention is to'be present at the events which may
occur in the doable interest of our own influence, and
of liberty, which may be jeopardised.'
"The declaration of the French corps of cecupation to
the President of Civita Vecchia, dated the 24th of
April, declared that the French Government would
respect the voice of the majority of the Roman popula-
tions . . . - and that it would never impose upon
them any form of government.'
"On the 2Gth General Oudinot repeated that the
object of the French was not to exercise any oppressing
influence, nor to impose any government upon the Ro-
mans against their will."
And yet on the 7th of August M. DE FALLoux,
with a coolness that on any other occasion would have
been quite farcical, declared that from the commence-
ment the object of the expedition had been to restore
the Porn and priestly government absolutely without
conditions ; that from the beginning of these trans-
actions himself and his colleagues had deliberately lied
to the Assembly and to France, but that the lie was
so transparent that none could have been deceived by
it, and, perhaps, had the Assembly and France been
then so perfectly aware of the character of M. DE
FALLuux and his colleagues as they are at present,
none would have been deceived by it. With a
Ministry which boasts of its proficiency in the art
of falsehood, there can be no room for argu-
ment, they are at once put out of court, and
their assertions are nothing worth unless corroborated
by untainted evidence. It is perfectly supererogatory,
therefore, for us to continue our work of refutation,
as every unsupported assertion of DE FALLOUX and
Co. must henceforth he considered by every man who
has any regard for truth as non avenue. We would,
however, commend to the especial meditation of M
DE FALLOUX and his colleagues the eloquent perora-
tion of the admirable letter of MAZzINI

GERMANY

AND

THE NORTHERN STATES

AUSTRIA AND lIUNGARY.
Accounts from Vienna are almost entirely engrossed
by descriptions of the fetes and rejoicings in honour
of the conqueror of Lombardy. Among the most
recent of these it is mentioned that a deputation from
the commercial classes of the city of Prague presented
Field-Marshal Radetzky with a laurel wreath of
silver, accompanied with an earnest request that he
would honour the city of Prague with a visit.
The conferences still continue under the presi-
dency of the EMPEROR.

News from the seat of war is still very dubious
and confused. Rumours of all kinds continued to be
afloat as to the position of affairs at Comorn; one
report being to the effect that two officers with flags
of truce had gone from that fortress on the 16th inst.
to the camp of NUGENT at Acs. This rumour, how-
ever, was given upon no credible authority.
An insurrectionary movement appears to have been
attempted in Servia, but, according to the Agranz
Gazette, had been rapidly suppressed.
From Hermannstadt we learn that on the 14th
Field-Marshal Lieutenant Count CLAM-GALLAS is-
sued an address of thanks to the National Guards of
Schlissburg, and dismissed them to their homes
in Transylvania, their services being no longer
required.

The journals of Pesth announce that the shootings
and hangings of the different prisoners of war had
now changed into imprisonments with hard labour.
The state of siege is about to be removed from
Vienna.

VIENNA, SEPT. 19.—Accounts from Raab state
that the whole of that neighbourhood is filled with the
various bodies of troops who are to form the besieging
army at Comorn.

Private letters state that two other plenipotentiaries,
with a flag of truce from the fortress, arrived at
General NUGENT'S camp on the eve of the day before
yesterday,

The Wanduer says the state of siege of Vienna
and the suburbs is to be raised on the 4th of next
month. The Wiener Zeitung of the 19th contains
the appointment of Field-Marshal Vox HESS as Chief
of the General Quarter-Master's Staff of the Royal
Imperial army. The same paper contains a provi-
sional regulation for the formation of the panel for the
censorship of the press.
The Polytechnic School at Vienna is to be re-
opened on the Ist October.
The -Vienna Zeitung says that the report of the
arrest of BEM by by the Russian troops has not been
confirmed. The Wanduer says that we learn that
Russia has offered to contribute a considerable part
of the proposed loan of sixty millions.
According to an inspection of the besieging corps
of Comorn, it appears that General NUGENT com-
menced his offensive movements towards the Sandberg
and the tete de pont, on the 15th.
With regard to the fate of Woywodina, the Wan-
deer says it .will not receive the territorial extension
that was projected at Agratn and Karlowita.
It is said that the Ba-Franzens Kenai is to form
its northern boundary in the Backa. The fact that
Tesmesvar has been appointed the seat of a Stadtholder
seems to indicate that the Banat, the Canaan of the
Woywodina project, will form a distinct domain of
his crown. Commissioner MARTONFFY assures us
that the Governor of the Bank has already been ap-
pointed.

His Royal Highness Archduke ALIIRPCIIT arrived
with his suite in Vienna at seven o'clock in the
morning of the 19th.
The besieging works of the Austrians against the
fortress of Comorn were at the date of the last ad•
vices proceeding rapidly. The Austrians intended, it
was said, to try balloons, as et Venice.
On the 14th a public sale of a portion of the effects
of KOSSUTH took place at Pesth,- but the attendance
of the public was less numerous than had been ex-
pected. The effects of Count CASIMIR BATTU-ANY
and others were also to be offered for ale.

PRUSSIA.
Intelligence from Berlin is to the effect that both
Houses of Parliament were still proceeding leisurely
with the revision of the Constitution.
At Aix-la-Chapelle the gambling system is con-
tinued in spite of the decrees of the Central Legislature,
and that, too, with very little modification.

RUSSIA.
ST. PETERSBUEGIT, SEPT. 13 —His Majesty the
EatrErtou has arrived here from Warsaw.
A statement in the Caucasian Gazette, to the
effect that the Russian forces had attacked the for-
tress of Achulga has been subsequently confirmed.
The assault seems to have been made on the 27th,
when the Tsckerkesses were repulsed on all sides.
The Russians that day lost 52 officers and 823
soldiers. A second attack took place the next day.
The French Envoy, LAMORICIERE, is on his way
to St. Petersburgh, and Madame LAMORICIERC is on
on her way home to France.

After the first assault of the Russians against the
bastions of Surchajew had been repulsed by the
Tscherkesses, it would appear that the Russians ven-
tured upon a second attack, and, after a san-
guinary combat, took possession of this nest of the
Monydes, the key of the enemy's possessions. The
Russians lost 25 officers and 397 soldiers killed and
wounded.

On the 18th the mortal remains of the Grand
Duke MICHAEL left Warsaw for interment at St.
Petersburgh.

DENMARK.

COPENHAGEN, SEPT. 19.—1 t is no longer a matter
of surmising that a Ministerial crisis has taken place.
The Minister of the Interior sent in his resignation
a week since, and it is not quite certain whether
the Ministers of War and the Navy, as
also the Minister for Foreign :Affairs, intend
to resign. BLUHMEKINSGAARD and MOUNIER are
spoken of as Ministers of the Interior. General
lIANsoN (the present Minister of War) is to be
appointed Minister for Foreign Affairs ; and Count
MOLTKE is to remain President of the Council.
The Hamburgh Borsenhalle, in an article dated
Copenhagen the 20th, says, " We have not received
any confirmation to-day of the reported Ministerial
crisis commenced yesterday."
An army order of the 17th expresses the KING'S
great satisfaction with the troops mustered in Co-
penhagen.
General DE MoRGA, the General in command at
Alsen, has been appointed Governor at Dannebrog.
STOCKHOLM, SEPT. 14.—The steamer Thor has
been sent out for the disposal of the Crown Prince,
furnished with provisions for 14 days.

ITALY.

The War Arnister, General I3AvA, has issued an
order of the day to the army, in which he says the
unmerited hard fortune of war had not diminished the
high respect universally felt for the Sardinian army,
but had proved the necessity for much reform.
The Statuto of Florence publishes the following
letter, dated Rome, 15th inst. :—" M. DE CORCELLES
has not yet arrived, but he is every moment expected.
Gen. RosToLaw, in consequence of orders received
from Paris, made great efforts yesterday to oblige the
three Cardinals to publish the letter of the PRESIDENT
of the Republic. Their Eminences resisted as long as
they could, but were at last forced to promise that
the letter should appear in the Osservatore Romano.
By this means they gained a respite; but
ROSTOLAN, not seeing the letter published
to-day, has returned to the charge and been an-
swered that the letter should be published this very
day. Still their Eminences nourish some hopes of
getting out of the dilemma, and of DE CORCELLES
consenting to take the non-execution of the order
upon his own responsibility. The conflict between
the French and Pontifical authorities continue 3."
The Giornale di Roma of the 14th publishes the
official returns of the wounded who entered the
hospitals from the Ist of May to the 30th of June.
The numbers are as follows :—Romans, 136 ; subjects
of the Roman provinces, 543; Italians from different
states, 322 ; foreigners, 41 ; country unknown, 256 ;
total, 1;298.

The Milan GazetteZof the 19th announces the death
of the celebrated painter BELLosro, on the borders of
the lake of Corno. Ile was the author of the great
picture of the " Universal Deluge."

THE UNITED STATES

ARRIVAL OF THE CALEDONIA.
(BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)
LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY.—The Royal Mail steam-
ship Caledonia has just arrived in our river, and
brings one week's later advices from the United
States, the Canadas, and the other British North
American possessions.
The Caledonia left Boston on the 12th instant, and
made a short call at Halifax, to receive mails and
passengers, of the latter of which she has brought
over a large number.
We have by this arrival intelligence of the arrival
out of the Niagara at New York, and of the Europa
(which sailed hence on the Ist instant) at Halifax, on
her way to Boston.
The news is not of much importance. The Great
Western arrived at New York on the Bth instant,
having left Bermuda on the sth.
The Earl of Elgin has left Montreal for Niagara.
American politics are just now rather flat, and
were expected to continue so until the approaching
election. That for Michigen, in November (for a
senator of which state General Cass proposes him-
self), promises to be the most interesting. The
free-soilers and Whigs will pull better together here,
it is expected, than in other parts of the Union, and,
it is possible, may carry their candidate for governor,
Mr. Littlejohn. The citizens of the state havo lat-
terly taken a liberal view of the Wilmot proviso,
which they are now inclined to support.
' The cholera has sa far abated that in the majority
of places the returns were not published. It has
prevailed, however, to some extent during the week
in Boston, Albany, Washington, &c. In Birming-
ham, a suburb of Pittsburg, the mortality during the
visit of the disease had been felt most severely by the
German population, the deaths being at least 90 per
cent. amongst them. In New York it may be said
to have almost ceased.
Mass conventions of both sections of the democracy
have been, or will be held shortly in Monroe, Onon-
daga, Washington, Westchester, and other places, to
effect a union of organisation for the fall campaign.
A convention of the coloured inhabitants of Con-
necticut had been held on the 12th instant, to con-
sider their political condition. They prefer having
the right of suffrage to their present exemption from
suffrage.
A national convention is to be held in St. Louis
on the 15th of October, to consider the erection of a
railroad and electric telegraph to the Pacific. Dele-
gates are expected from every state and territory in
the Union.
The reports from the cotton districts are, we regret
to say, still more unfavourable than any before received

COMMERCIAL NE WS.
The money market at New York continues in a satis-
factory state; money is very easy, and trading prospects
on the whole are good.
In the market for breadstuffs but little had been
doing. Prices had receded slightly. Western Canal
flour was quoted 5 dolls. 373 c. to 5 dolls. 50e. (steady)
per bushel; Gennessee prime Wheat, 1 doll. 26c. to 1
doll. 28c. per 6014; Southern Wheat, 1 doll. 12c. to
1 doll. 14c. ; Indian Corn, round yellow, 62c. to 64c.
per bushel, steady; Indian Corn flat; yellow, 62c. per
bushel; Indian Meal, 3 dolls. 25c. to 3 dolls. 37ic. per
barrel.
In cotton at New York there was little doing. Holders
did not press sales, and former quotations were main-
tained rather weakly. New Orleans and Mobile mid.
fair to fair, lOic. to Ilfe. per lb.; Upland, mid. fair to
fair, lOic. to 10fe. per lb.
Freights are very low, and little doing.
EXCHANGE. —On London, 108;1 to 109, steady, de-
mand fair; on Paris, 5.27, fair market; on Hambnrgh, 35 to
35e; on Bremen, 7SI to 781; Pennsylvanian Fives, 89
to 90.

THE OCEAN -GR AVE.
Bury me deep—bury me deep,
Fathoms deep in the sea
And let:me sleep my last long sleep
Under the waters free.
With the billows sounding o'er me,

With the music of their strife—
With the ocean caves before me,
With their worlds of treasure rife.

With the coral and the amber,
With the pearls around me strowed—
In my richly furnished chamber—
In, my Mighty solitude

Let no narrow coffin bound me,
No dim vaults their prisoner keep;
Let the billows dash around mu,
And the mermaids o'er me weep.

Let me not rest where yew-trees reign,
Let no cypress o'er me wave—
But let the rushing hurricane
Sweep o'er my ocean grave I

Thus would I sleep—thus would I sleep
Under the waters free,
My pall should be the foaming deep,
And my sepulchre—the tea !

TER NEVI' SHERIFF'S CARRIAGES.—MeSSFS. Laurie
and blamer have again been honoured with the order
for the civic carriages for the ensuing year, which they
have completed in their usual good taste. The prevail.
ing colours are rich dark blue, gold, and vermillion, with
the City arms and supporters, private arms, and those
of the company elaborately emblazoned on the panels;
the interior is lined with white satin, an) the hammer-
cloth is of rich gold colour, edged with blue fringe and
gold tassels. The harness is made entirely of patent
leather, with the arms and crests richly chased, and has
a very handsome appearance, the pad cloths being of
rich gold colour, to match the hammer cloth, and edged
with gold lace.
Some people seem to consider the severity of their
censures on the Errors of others as an atonement for
their own.—Eliza Cook's Journal.
THE HOP I'LL—Mr. Bromley, a recent writer,
confirms the observation that the hop fly is produced in
spring on the sloe bushes, from which it migrates to the
hop, but dissents from the suggestion of Mr. Spence
(contained in an address to the Entomological Society in
January last, "which has been much circulated in the hop
districts"), that it is only necessary to destroy the sloe
trees in order to secure the hop from the attacks of this
insect, asserting that its eggs have also been found on
the plum, and that if all the sloe trees were destroyed,

the insect would resort to some other cilkd species
of tree.

BAL•MASQUE AT VAUXHALL GARDENS.—The last
masquerade ball of the season took
in no respect place at Vauxhall
Gardens yesterday evening, and proved
in-
ferior to the series of public entertainments ct
ts of a similar
kind which have preceded it. Notwithstanding the
deserted state of town, and the amount of sickness and
alarm which hes recently existed, the pleasure-seekers
poured into the gardens in great numbers as soon as the
doors were opened, and up to a late hour there appeared
no sign of a check to the spirit with which the amuse-
ments were kept up. There was the usual display of
masks, dominoes, and fancy and character costumes ;
and, as a further recommendation to the proceedings, it
should be mentioned that amidst the motley throng the
most perfect good humour prevailed. The weather was
highly favourable for the visitors, although Vauxhall is
to a certain extent independent of its influence, being
amply provided with covered space for dancing. The
gardens
-were of course brilliantly illuminated for the
occasion, and were therefore seen to great advantage.
Ample refreshments were provided for the company as-
sembled, and the arrangements generally appeared to
give entire satisfaction.
Trust men, and they will be true to you ; trust
them greatly, and they will show themselves great,
though they make an exception in your favour in all
their roles 9f trade,—Eliza Cook's Journal.

During the sittings of the Deputies at Turin, on
the 18th, it was resolved that t le budget for th. year
1849 should be printed.
An allowance of 10 or 15 lii.rres a day for each re-
presentative was spoken of as probable.
After visiting his mother and children at Nice, it
now generally believed that GARIBALDI Will return to
Genoa.
