PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, JUNE 25.—Our Cabinet has just received
a note from the French Government, in which the
latter expresses the most amicable views in regard to
Germany, and its desire to second every effort for the
re-establishment of loyal order in Germany. The
note goes on to say that the insurrection which has
broken out in those parts of Germany which border
upon France, have not only not been favoured by
France, but the French Government will use every
effort to check the progress of the revolutionary
party on the French territory. All know that in this
respect the French Government may do much, and
the note in question has consequently caused
general satisfaction here to every friend of order and
legitimate government. The note concludes by
stating, that the French Government ffom the first,
saw the real object of the concentration of the Ger-
man armies on its frontiers, but that this concentra-
tion occasioned no inquietude, and the satisfactory
explanation given by the Prussian Cabinet had fully
confirmed the confidence of the French Government.

Thus have France and Germany sincerely com-
bined to countervene the revolutionary elements.
This is an event of the greatest importance to
Europe, since the reciprocal concurrence of these
two countries induces the hope that the revolution
will be effectually quelled.—Gazette des Pastes.

GERMANY

AND

THE NORTHERN STATES.

AUSTRIA.

The telegraphic dispatch, announcing the defeat of
GEORGEY by the Austrian general, which appeared in
our fourth edition of last night, stated that he had
retreated across the Waag, with 30,000 men and
eighty pieces of cannon. The fact that GEORGEY was
enabled to take with him eighty pieces of cannon
would lead to the supposition that his retreat was not
the consequence of defeat. The probability is that he
is acting upon the system of tactics which has already
served the Hungarians so well. He seeks to lead the
enemy into the morasses of the Theiss, there to det.iin
them until the climate shall have done its work,
leaving it to the clouds of Honved guerillas, with
which the country was swarming, to cut off their sup-
plies and harass them incessantly.
The Ost Deutsch Post publishes the text of the
draft of the Provisional Constitution for the Arch-
duchy of Austria below the Ems. It enacts that
there shall be a Diet, consisting of thirty deputies of
towns, of thirty deputies of all the other communes, and
of the same number of the heaviest tax-payers, that
is, of those who pay together a third of the taxes of
the electoral arrondissement in which they reside.
The Diet is to be convoked every year at Vienna for
an ordinary session, which is to last six week., but
may be prolonged if necessary. Similar provincial
constitutions are being prepared for all the other
countries subject to the Crown of Austria.

THE GERMAN PARLIAMENT.

The Members who were expelled by force from
Stuttgardt have lodged a complaint before the Court
of Justice Esslingen against the Ministry of Wirtem-
burg, for a breach of the Wirtemburg law of the
30th September last, which declares any act of
violence against the National Assembly, or against
its Members, to be high treason, and liable to the
penalty of twenty years' hard labour.
The Swabian Mercury contradicts the reported
death of M. F. RAVEAUX, the member of the Provi-
sional Regency, and states that a warrant of arrest
has been issued against him by the law authoritie3 of
Cologne on a charge of conspiring to overthrow
and change existing governments and exciting civil
war.

FINANCIAL REFORM.
REDUCTION. OF EXPENDITURE. -
In our advocacy.of a Financial Reform, it will be seen that we do
not seek to confer a privilege upon one class, at the expense of an-
other ; but in our transactions, to apply principles of such sterling
value and universal import as must prove, in the fullest sense of the
term, equally advantageotts to all. We seek, in fact, to reduce, not
the income, but the expenditure, of every individual. How this may
be effected the following outline of our novel, yet well appreciated
business system, will readily show.
POSSESSING LARGE ESTABLISHMENTS
in most of the principal towns in Great Britain, our concentrated
purchases are necessarily very extensive ; from this cause we are
enabled to obtain materials direct from the manufacturers, for cash,
at prices considerably lower than the average. Our garments are de-
signed and cut by talented artists, and manufactured by experienced
workmen ; our profits are calculated at a nominal per-cenage upon
original cost, and the price is marked on every garment,t in plain
gores, from which no deviation is'alloa ed. These facts, together
with the accommodation afforded by the exchange of garments not
approved after purchase, afford advantages to our patrons such as
have beau seldom, if ever, elsewhere presented, enabling them to
effect a reduction in their expenditure, at least in the item
" Clothing," of not less than 40 per cent., as the following brief
price list will testify to some extent :

LONDON, FRIDAY. JUNE 29, 1849.

Another example has just been afforded to the ab-
surdity
of attempting to legislate for the diffusion of
abstract morality. The Anti- Sunday-Trading move-
ment and the Anti-Sunday-Travelling movement were
extravagant enough in themselves; but the Bill
recently introduced into the House of Commons
under the auspices of Mr. SPOONER, a Bill which
originally emanated from the House of Peers, and
received the approval of the Lord Chief Baron, cer-
tainly strikes us as being an example of the very acme
of morbid delicacy and religious sentimentalism.
With all our hearts we respect those who
conscientiously abstain from unnecessary labour
on the Sunday; and our respect is not one jot less
profound and sincere for those who, by affording at
once the precepts and the practice of chastity, aid in
the diminution of such illicit habits of concupiscence
as tend so materially to the propagation of vice and
wretchedness in a populous community. . At the
same time, we cannot but regard the interposition of
the law for the maintenance of the sanctity of the
Sunday, and for the suppression, or rather for the
gradual extinction of prostitution, as an effort re-
quiring the most discriminative caution in
its employment. The line of demarcation
• between the Divine and Human codes is so
strong and visible in theory, and so feeble
, and almost imperceptible in fact, that it is necessary
to exercise the most continual and vigilant circum-
spection to prevent the infringement of the one by
the other. It is from our solicitude to witness no
glaring interference with the ecclesiastical polity,
and from our knowledge of the extreme liability of a
political legislature to outstep its rightful limits when
touching upon these delicate subjects, that we are
averse to that indiscriminate interposition with
matters properly belonging to those appointed
to the exercise of spiritual authority, and
not to those in whose hands are confided
the reponsibilities of temporal juri-diction.
There is no greater fallacy abroad than the notion
that a nation may be-rentlered moral by Acts of Par-
liameat. Depravity flourishes not so much in the
market-place as in the haunts of obscurity. Men are
not usually in the habit of gratifying their evil pas-
sions under the nose of public scrutiny. To employ a
vulgar but expressive phrase, the thief is only a thief
on the sly : the forger is only a forger on the sly :
eVerhn'llecleViaicine on Me sly, and adultery, and all
-those'riii-Cou—roffAces which cry aloud to heaven for
/-.... Tengeidce. So long as this secrecy is the instinct
/ of licentiousness so long will it be vain on the part
, of the; Legislature to; attempt to enforce morality by

ROYAL VISIT TO IRELAND.

We announced yesterday her Majesty's intention of
visiting Ireland during the forthcoming recess. It is
well known that this intention is of long standing, and
that in several previous years the Queen had hoped to
honour her Irish subjects with her presence.
The distress unfortunately still so prevalent in Ireland
precludes her visiting Dublin in state, as any large ex-
penditure on mere ceremony would be ill-timed and in-
convenient to her subjects.
She proposes therefore to embark in the royal yacht,
to tow,h first at the Cove of Cork, and to proceed thence
along the Irish Channel to Dublin, where she will re-
main for a few days the guest of his Excellency Lord
.aving Dublin the royal squadron will proceed
Cluarpenodn Ine
northwards along the Irish coast to Belfast, and thence
cross to Scotland.
Although the precise period of her Majesty's visit
cannot yet be fixed, it will probably take place as early
in August as the termination of the session of Parlia-
ment will permit.

LIFE ASSURANCE.—A. deputation, consisting of the
undermentioned gentlemen, had an interview with the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, on Wednesday:—Mr. Sa-

the Pravident Life-office ; Mr. Engelback, of the Alli-
ance; Mr. Rainbow, of the Crown; Mr. Bunyan, of the

The object of the deputation was to place in the hands
of the Right Hon. the Chancellor of the Exchequer a
petition to the House of Commons, complaining of the
practice of certain Life-Assurance Societies, enrolled
under the Friendly Societies Acts, and praying that a
law might be passed to place the competition between all
assurance companies on a fair and equal basis, in respect
to all life assurances above 2001.

Thus, out of every twenty shillings paid in taxation,
three only is required for the purposes of support for the
civil Government, whilst the seventeen goes to pay the
interest of the debt, and provide for the army and navy.
Lsst year the army estimates were higher than this by
1,500,0001.; and the twelve years previous show an
increase of nearly ten millions. All this time the cowl•
try was at peace.
The following is a comparison between the two pail

Bwe perm_ ive that in 1760 the revenue was

underder that amount per head.
In 1760 the eighth part of the revenue went to pay
the funded debt; and the same for the army and navy,
while in 1849 seven parts out of the eight are required.
The debt has multiplied since 1760 sixteen times qty
amount; the population about fivefold, and the revenue
about fivefold also.

The army and navy expenditure has also increased
since that period about fourteen times the amount; and
The Civil List has trebled. Gecrge 11. had 800,0006.
a year for his civil list, out '_of which he took 60,0001.

command of General N ESTEAOFF, were detested 111

with a loss of 3,500 men. It was a complete sazi,,'n-

body. But it seems extraordinary that it shoW
exist in the very rude form in which it originated, when
all taco were ignorant, and one part en-laved to an-
other. Tire presence of strangers has long ceased to
overawe the body, and though it tray be desirable on
some occasions, such as the introduction of Sunday 13111 s,
or other fanatical measures, to conceal the nakedness of
some of the Members from public gaz,, it certainly
ought not to depend for its proper exercise on the
caprice of as individual. So much of the value of
the debates, both to the House and to the country, is
owing to the presence of strangers, that while we
that the privilege of excluaion is one that should be
maintained, we are ovally positive that it should be ex-
ercised only by the whole House, atter a question and
agreement, as proposed by Colonel Thompso!i. This
course would destroy the fiction, which hoe now become
absurd, of affecting to consider reporters as strangers,
violating privilege, after accommodations bate been ex-
pressly provided for them by the House itself to violate
the very privilege in queation. Members must see the
necessity of having men experienced in the arduous pro-
fession of reporting speeches free to act, until the entire
House find cause fur requiring their absence on some
particular occasions. Such exclusions as have lately
taken place lessen the dignity of tf-e House, and disgust
or disappoint the country. No one will object to the
exercise of a privilege like this with discretion, tut it
becomes a public inui;ance when it is the weapon of
spite, revenge, or Wen" etipric.

PERSIA AND FRANCE.

The Journal de Constantinople of the 19th says— -*
" Letters from Tebriz of the sth May announce a file"
of some importance: the diplomatic relations between
the representative of the French Republic and the per-
sian Government have been broken off. M. de Sartgei
demanded his passports, and after having placed tbret
French residents in Persia under British protection, le'
Teheran for Tebriz, where he was expected to arrive of!
the 6th. It was thiught that he would thence PP3ceeci
to Trebizonde, to wait for fresh instructions WO big'
Government.. The cum of this rupture was the refusse
of the Persian Cabinet to ratify the treaty of coronleren
which was conchided at Paris two years since betwee.
the Fren,th Minister of Foreign Affairs and Mirza frteh
met Ali Khan, the Persian Ambassador, who on IeaTIN
that capital brouuht with him the ratification of t
French Government."

CIRCASSIA.
A body of 15,000 Russian Infantry, under tir
command of General NESTEROFF, were defeated In
March in the Pass of Karnich by the Circassians'
with a loss of 3,500 men. It was a complete sauvne
qui pent, and most of the Russian party threw dew"
their arms to escape the more quickly. The Circasci
sians pursued them hotly. After suffering a sea:
defeat, the remnant of the Russians retired to Tflis.
In the meanwhile the Circassians did not remain idle;
they organised a plan of attack on Socha, one of the
most important ft'rtresses in Abaza, situate between
Anapat Souhoumkale (and noted on European 1:00e
5
as 11amai). For this purpose they elected the
e
chiefs—lnaAunt BEY, the son of SEMI 1351.1
.ARAB ITIR, one of &LAMM'S emissaries • On
TorAL Au MET, the celebrated Daglists'
warrior. They organised their plans so secretly
that on the 17th of April, during a violent hurricane'
they attacked the garrison of Socha with such a dew
termination that a panic took possession of the Pe'
sieged, whose °lily object was escape from destru
tion, which was the more to be apprehended, inns:
