'e(6ll 00t Which she has brooded for at least a
4.l,%itiry before—opportunities' which she has never
been known not to profit by. Thus while France was
righting for a Chatter, and. England for a Reform Bill,
she pounced upon unfortunate Poland, and erased her
name from the list of Sovereign StateN
As the State nr affairs in Switzerland is now very
to what it was when NESSELRODE addressed
these " Instructions' to M. de SEVERIN, and as no-
thing has since occurred in Europe which can mate-
rially affect the views of Russia with respect to the
Republic, we shall take an early opportunity of pub-
lishing them entire. We would gladly do so to-day, did
the crowded state of our columns permit us to devote
so much space to a subject which can lose none of its
interest by the delay of two or three days at the utmost.

Sir WIr.r.MAII MOLESIVORTII has published an
address to his present constituents, the electors of the
eastern division of Cornwall, in which he announces
his determination not to stand another contest, should
the Parliament be, as he anticipates, suddenly dis-
solved. The address is the frank, straightforward, and
consistent declaration of one of the most honest and
most unflinching Radicals in the House of Commons.
" When you first returned me to Parliament," writes
the Hon. Gentleman to his constituents, " I was un-
known, and untried. I then told you that I consi-
dered the Reform Bill only as the first step to great
and beneficial changes in the imperfect institutions of
the country. On this conviction I have acted. My
name is to be found as voting in support of every mea-
sure of real Reform, and in opposition to every measure
of a contrary tendency. I voted against the Coercion
Bill in all its stages ; and was one of the most deter-
mined oppenents to the mis-Government of Ireland by
Lord GREv's Administration. My votes are recorded
in favour of thorough retrenchment—of the ballot—
of triennial Parliaments—of the extension of suffrage,
—of free trade—of the separation of Church and State,
of removing the Bishops from the House of Lords."
To the truth of these observations the Liberal Press
has borne ample testimony. Sir WILLIAM retires, or
rather proposes retiring, sooner than expose his consti-
tuents to the oppression of their landlords should they
re-elect him, and likewise, lest by hazarding another
contest he should peril the seat of his colleague.
These arc motives for which no man—much less such
a tried reformer as Sir WILLIAM MOLESWORTH,
ought to be allowed to suffer. Cannot the Reformers
in the Metropolitan Boroughs make room for so effi-
cient a Representative ?

" Grandmarna" is this Morning more frisky and
facetious than she has been since the death of her
sweet-heart, poor SIMPSON, of Vauxhall. We are
glad to see that the old lass is getting over the shock
of that sad' calamity, and sincerely congratulate her on
her restoration to perfect vivacity. For what can be
more vivacious—what more delightfully comic—than
her article on the Newton Conservative Festival,
which she declares, with that arch, fascinating elo-
quence peculiar to her, will "be sufficient to shake those
idols, the men in place, out of the places which have
made them their idols ?" Bravo, Granny ! This is
as well said as SIMPSON himself could have said it,
You have absolutely caught the mantle of the ascended
Vauxhall orator, and wear it with an ease and pro-
priety that proves it to be your legitimate perquisite.
We cannot help thinking, however, that our fair
Contemporary might have chosen a far better theme
for the display of her Simpsonian eloquence than the
Newton Conservative Festival ; for a more miserable
failure than this loudly trumpeted Meeting has not
occurred since the day when " six haunches of veni-
son" failed to attract more than sixty Conservatives to
hear Lord FRANCIS EGERTON spout Toryism at the
Guildford Association dinner. True, a thousand rank
Tories were with difficulty got together at Newton ; but
as King RICHARD says of BUCKINGHAM'S troops,
" they were all geese," fit only to hiss and splutter, and
make a prodigious flapping of wings. A Mr. WILKINS
particularly distinguished himself in this way, abusing
the Reformers wholesale in a premeditated series of
metaphors, not one of which but laboured under a
compound fracture ; and praising Lord ELDON) as
head of the Tories, because " Minerva had greater
charms for him than Mercury,"—no very flattering
compliment, for Mercury, as is well known, was the
God of Thieves, and therefore Mr. WILKINS'S eulo-
gium on his Lordship only amounts to this—that he
preferred study to petty larceny !
Lord SKELMERSDALE, in a speech breathing
throughout the spirit of party rancour, and disap-
pointment, defended the late conduct of the House of
Peers at very drowsy length, hinting at the same time
pretty broadly, that this idolized Institution never
could, and never would, be reformed ; for, in the first
place, Ministers would not dare to ask the KING to
manufacture new coronets ; and secondly, if they did,
his MAJESTY would never consent to such an atro-
city. This may or not be the fact ; but be it
as it may, still we hold to the opinion that
we. have all along maintained—namely, that some
organic change must take place in the Upper
House, and this before age and party spleen have
delved another deep wrinkle in the brow of my Lord
LYNDHURST. The same steady, overwhelming,
popular energy that carried Reform in the Commons,
will be sure to carry it in the Lords. There needs
no dreadful convulsion to attain such an object.
The calm 'force of public opinion will suffice to do it ;
and this is already Lginning to make itself felt in a
way that there can be no mistaking.
Having sufficiently belauded the House of Peers,
his Lordship went on, in the true aristocratic
spirit of scorn, to ask, who were the people.
" He should like to know," he said, " who the
people were." We will tell him. The people arc
those who ejected the Tories from office ; who carried
the Reform Bill ; who replaced Lord MELBOURNE at
the helm of State ; and who still keep him there, de-
spite all the opposition that his enemies can bring to
hear against him. The people constitute the mass of
the moral, intelligent, industrious population of the
country. They are the " thews and sinews," the
head and heart of the State—the productive classes, in
short, and bear the same relation to the aristocracy that
the bee bears to the drone. And yet Lord SKELMERS-
DALE professes to be ignorant of their existence, and
asks with patrician wonderment who they are, just as
if he had never beard their voice at Newhall Hill !
The language held by his Lordship was pretty much
the same as that held by the rest of the speakers ; and
we feel justified therefore in repeating our assertion,
that as far as argument and common-sense are con-
cerned, the Newton Conservative dinner was an arrant
failure, calculated only to increase the number of' con-
verts to Reform.

The Brussels Papers received this day represent the
peace of the country as menaced by the presence of
some forty- or fifty factious demagogues, including
several missionaries of the St, Simonian sect, who have
established their head-quarters in the capital of Bel-
gium. These scoundrels have got a wretched Journal
called the VoThs Vriend, or Friend of the People,
under their control, and through it the most furious
attacks are constantly made upon the Government, the
religion, and the morals of the Belgian people. Regi-
cide is defended—marriage is laughed at—and all the
sacred ties that bind society together are spoken of as
the dreams of drivelling idiots—by the conductors of this

infamous periodical. Finding, however, that the sen-
sible inhabitants of Brussels refused to read the ob-
scene and blasphemous trash thus thrust upull titell3,
these fellows betook theniselvn to haratigning in the
streets and hi taverns, tiodef the pEete-/tt of hdlding public
tnectings to discuss constitutional questions.. The Go-
vernment hadearly intimation of their proceedings, and it
very properly determined to watch them narrowly. Last
Sunday, however, the Commissary of Police having been
observed by them among their •nuditors, in an obscure
cabaret in a retired part of the city, the leaders of the
mob attacked and beat him severely, nor would he have
escaped a plunge in the canal but for the arrival of his
comrades, by whom he was rescued, and two of the
ringleaders made prisoners. This had no effect upon
those who escaped. Meetings of persons calling them-
selves " workmen" have since been held in different
parts of the city of Brussels and in the suburbs, the
real object of which is to excite the populace to insur-
rection and bloodshed. This is a deplorable state of
society, and whatever be the form of the Government,
ought not to be tolerated for an instant. A liberty of
the Press which guarantees the publication with impu-
nity, of treasonable, blasphemous, and obscene sentiments
is neither in accordance with the true interests of the
people, nor the stability of any established form of
Government. Licentiousness is not liberty, but the
abuse of it ; to tolerate it is to tear up the social virtues
by the roots. We grant that the Government of
LEOPOLD has many great obstacles to contend with,
and that for some time longer it may be the safer course
to leave sedition to be put down by the good sense of
the people. Nevertheless, to impose silence upon the
St. Simonian refugees, would not be to refuse them
that refuge which they have a right to claim when
driven out of France for their political opinions. A
political refugee who dares to meddle in the affairs of
the country which affords him shelter, not only forfeits
the right of refuge, but also renders himself amenable
to the penal laws of that country. This doctrine is
clearly laid down by Lord HALE, in his " Pleas of
the Crown ;" and by PUEFENDORF, in his Trea-
tise on the Law of Nations.

We have received the whole of the Paris Papers of
Thursday. They bring no further intelligence respect-
ing the formation of the Cabinet. The following are
extracts from them :

PARIS, SEPT. B.—The Moniteur of to.day contains nothing
official, except an ordinance approving the formation of a
Savings Bank at. Apt. There is not a word in the official jour-
nal of the nomination of Under-Secretaries of State, which
bas been so much talked' of. The Ministerial Journals are
equally silent on the subject.

It was said that M. Thiers was preparing to pass some time
in Switzerland and Italy ; but the Journal des Debats pre-
tends that he is going to Belgium and Holland. Another
Journal says that he is going with Marshal Maison to an es-
tate which the Marshal possesses near Dusseldorf.
As for M. de Montalivet, it is said that he will go and pass
two months on his estate at Berri.

• On Tuesday the King did na leave Paris to return to
Neuilly till ten o'clock at night. The Droit says that just as
the carriage was leaving the Tuillerics, a police officer arrested
in the Rue de Rivoli an individual, about forty-five years of
age, in a blue great coat, and of a genteel appearance.
Being conducted to the post of the Palais Royal, he was
searched ; a bank note of 500 francs, and some pieces of gold
coin were found on him. On the following morning, he was
taken before a Commissary of Police. The Droit says no-
thing more. Hitherto there is nothing to indicate that this
arrest had anything to do with politics.—Journal du Com-
merce, Sept. 8.
PARIS, SEPT. 7.—Extracts from the Journals of the fron-
tiers

A letter from St. Jean Pied de Port, of the 31st Aug., says—
M. and Madame Berneler have closely followed General
Cordova. They arrived here on the 29th, in the evening,
and set out on the following morning for Bayonne. Like him
they came to the frontier with a strong escort.
It is affirmed that Cordova, who slept here on the 25th,
shed tears on the bridge of Verncguey, on quitting the Spa-
nish territory, and taking leave of his brethren in arms. When
he arrived here, he wore the insignia of his elevated rank.—
Journal des Pyrenees.
leis affirmed that M. Mendizabal has been invited to take
the office of Minister of Finance, on the news that M. Ferrer
would not accept it; but the ex-Minister is said to have de-
clined offering his services to procure money for the exhausted
treasury. —Sena:wile des Pyrenees.
PARTS, SEPT. B.—The Marquis of Dalmatia was walking on
the Boulevards yesterday afternoon. Some journals an-
nounced his departure. It is said he had received no news
from his father, and believed he would infuse some thought
that the offer made to the Marshal was not serious, but only a
means to gain time to remove the scruples of another candi-
date, who still made some difficulties.

13ouusR, QUARTER TO FOUR.—This morning the Three per
Cents. showed a tendency to rise. The price has been cur-
rently at 801. 174 c. ; but from the opening of the Bourse
En-oral principal brokers were anxious to sell, and the price
fell gradually to 79f. 95., with a flat market. The Spanish
Active Stock rose in the beginning to 30i on learning the
decrees inserted in the papers from Madrid of the 31st; but a
large sale having been effected from Brabant account, it fell
to 30k.
P. S. The fall in the French funds is attributed to a report
that the new Ministry has already excited discontent in a high
quarter.
