A !' But wo rely

in our ':lte sole principle of government is the
sovet (delay el ii;,: i;: oPle. Tito oational will
the origin and the term of all governments. It alone
creates them, according to its necessities, as it pleases;
and anybody must have a short memory to have for-
gotten already how that sovereign will destroys forms
which are contrary to its expansion, and casts into soli-
tude those ancient royal races when they pretend to
oppose their worn-out privileges to the eternal right of
the people. That. Charles X. succeeding to his brother
Louis XVIII., who malutaiue,:i that he had reigned 20
years when a foreign eteem-boar cast hint i,n :_mas in
the year 1814—that those persoi,s st Quid have: ,i,• Lulled
to be srinci pie:, might have pase,ed without ridicule. An.!,
nevertheless, when a meeting was held at the Venitanges
de Bourgogne without drinking the King's health, no-
body then thought of groaning and lamenting the con-
duct of Deputies who had at that period a dynastic
surface. And you wish and require that Deputies should
at present drink the King's health! Not only Deputies,
but the electors of Paris—but the press of Paris, athi
that in the month of July, when the burning sun heats
the pavement, when from the heights wnich command
the capital we perceive the Louvre, where the people
were victorious, and the Tuileries, where They li•veited
a throne, and the dust of the Csrroueel, where the pe-
destrians trampled under their feet the fleurs delis
broken to pieces! But your adoration becomes ridicu-
lous by force of impertinence. You now style the King
the living, incarnate law! Good people. you mistake
yourselves fit Louis XIV. In what article of the
charter have you founo that the Kisg was the law?
The law rules the King as well as Vie humblest of
citizens. He contributes one-third to it—he ex, ewes
—he is bound to obey it—or, rather, tis he acts not
without his Ministers, in constitutional larigu,,ge we
must thus explain your splendid phrase:—Ti e
Heine and incarnate law is M. Ja:,r, M. Dumou,
M. Cunin, Gridaine, lather, at Sedan! A fine incar-
nation, well worthy of adoration ! In truth, one is -ur
prised to find to what a point the spirit of the Court, the
miserable spirit of subserviency, is perpetuated in this
country, notwithstanding the terrible lessons of history.
It might be said that the residence of the Monarch was
closed against the external air—that the movement of
generations, and the permanent progress of ideas had not
been felt there. It appears to it that an intelligent,
active, powerful, and energetic nation like ours should
halt because a system has described its parabole—that
the immovability of the upper part ought to paralyse
the entire social bocy —that all France should be con-
demned to drag its limbs like a decrepit old man, because
it pleases all those who lead it to be fr 4 m 70 to 81 years
of age ! fhose are the men of the Left and the Lett
Centre, to whom they do the honour to attribute
some good sense. They perceive that the pre-
sent policy degrades and corrupts all parties. They
contend at the Chamber—their efforts are destroyed by
a majority of satisfied members. They propose an
electoral and Parliamentary reform—they are ridi-
culed, and told that the country is laughing
at them. They then address themselves to the
electors—the latter reply and appeal to men of every party
attached to the revolution of July who desire a modi-
fication of the existing system. A common feeling
unites different sections of the same party. Each brings
his followers and maintains his flag. A cry of anathema
is immediately raised because the national sovereignty
and the Revolution of July have been invoked in place
of the King! The Marseillaise was chaunted with ete
thusiasm, but Vive Henry IV. was neither played nor
sung, and Deputies were present! What a scandal!
And it is expected that this extraordinary manifestation,
of which the echo has been heard in London and in
Germany, shall be imitated in France! What an im-
prudent expectation! Ah! we are well aware of what
grieves you. It is because no disturbances interfered to
derange this sincere and powerful expression of the
Parisian electors. It is because in that assembly of
1,200 persons the heat and excitement diminished in no
respect the dignified demeanour of theguests. Itis because
that amongst the 5,000 or 6,000 persons who responded
outside to the applause of the company, and to
the music of the Marseillaise, your police found
no opportunity to interfere to repress the slightest
confusion. This consciousness of right, which is gra-
dually penetrating , verywbere, and which fortifies those
amongst whom it penetrates, afflicts you because it me-
naces your existence, and it becomes the more alarming
to you as it is consolitary to society in general. Yeti
invite by your provocation agitation and riot. You
would have cried less loudly if an opportunity had been
afforded you to disperse the meeting as illegal. You
would not perhaps regret, crouched as you are in your
filthy den, that some violence should have assisted you
in creating alarm. Do not place any reliance on vio-
lence—that must come from you. We hare waited pa
tiently for your system to produce its fruit. The coun-
try has seen and has tssted the poison. You art- edu
cating the nation. You are enlightening the most blind
by the light of your policy. Parties have learned that
bad Governments are not destroyed by their eff eits.
Bad Governments commit suicide, and you will not fail
to succeed in consequence of the care with which you
charge your weapons. Our part will henceforth be go-
verned by yours. You may act, we shall wait."

The Ministers, if they are wise, will henceforth
taboo this subject of the banquet of the Chateau
Rouge. The dynasty has nothing to gain by reviving
recollections of 1830.
Some short time since the Semaine hinted at some

unfair practices in the granting of a mining conces-
sion to the Talabot Company in Algeria. The
National, of Friday, takes up the subject, and
is more explicit in its accusations of unfair play. It
says that on November 9, 1845, four-and twenty
hours before Marshal SOULT gave up his place as
Minister of War, four royal ordonnances were issued
conceding for 99 years certain mines at Belchita, in
Algeria, to the Marquis DE BASSANO, M. TALABOT,
and others. Since then the Marquis DE BASSIN°,
the story goes, received a formal promise from G-en.
Sr. YON to be accorded a concession of the copper
mines of Ain-Barbar, but in spite of that engage-
ment the concession has been since granted by Gen.
TREZEL, the present Minister of War, to M. TALBOT.
The National demands, if it be true or not, that on
May 3, the representative of the Bassano Company
sent in a very energetic protest against the formal
and otligatory violation of the promise of his prede-
cessor. It adds—

" Is it true, that the letter from the Bassano Corn -
publc works in Algeria, of which proof
rainy contained very grave accusations against the ent-
tl"
Is it true, that, the matter in dispute was referred to
the Council of State, which declared itself incom
petent, in consequence of the nature of the acts alleged?
ualiseso ffoefrteld'e ito be given ?
" Is it true, that N.I. Talabot summoned a numb, r of
n making up a company ; and that
to a N
the number, it was stated that,
pbeefrosroerl'. sanjtc3-)•juonint ,oneon himl
o could be effected it would be necessary
first of all to set aside 4,000 shares, representing a
capital of 2,000,000 francs, to provide for ciutingencies
(besoins accidentels)?
"Is it true, that these were designated by the cabalis-
tical name of 'el shares ?"

The Courrier Francais of Saturday publishes the
whole of the deed of the society for the working of
the mines, with a capital of ten millions of francs, and
by which it appears that a fusion of coneessionnaires
was established in order to render competition im-
possible. The first paragraph of the deed commences
with the usual words, Entre les soussignes, and a
blank for their names, the reason of which the
Courrier says it will give hereafter. At the end of
this deed the Courrier says :

o Suppose a simple and honest man to have discovered
a mine in Algeria. He has devoted his time and his
money to trials and researches. He demands a conces-
sion tor his discoveries, and immediately the society of
monopolists launches against him one of its members as

managing director, M. Talabot. M. Talabot is the son-
in-law of M. Cunin,Gridaine, and Marshal Soult is his
partner. The competitor of the company carries the
day, and the concession falls to the lot of the company.
How can the unfortunate industrial hope to succeed
against the influence which is at the command of his
competitors? It is the same for a grant of land. The
Society Talabot puts forward a competitor and obtains
it. Is not this an organized monopoly? This is the
reason why the Compagnie Bassano, after having re-

last
ment given by his predecessor. This is why the letter
of the Compagnie Bassano contained grave accusations
against employes in the public works of Algeria, and
offered to bring forward proofs in support of the accusa-
-1 tious. We could cite the names of several other victims.
How many persons applying for concessions have been
repulsed by the permanent coalition ot the Societe Tula-
but! This society is an army of competitors, and it is
always victorious. Why? We saY again we will become
more explicit if nu answer be given to us. We will ex-
amine to-morrow this mysterious clause of the company's
deed of settlement.—` Other shares have this day been
subscribed for by ;Messrs. Jules and Leon Talabot, who
may transfer them to different fi sends wishing to join this
present company, bringing into it the concurrence of
their labours and endeavours. Who are these friends to
whom Messrs. Talabot may transfer these other shares?
What are their names? What is the number of shares?
Why this r,serve, when in the deed all the other share-
holders, whatever they may have brought into the cona-
Paay, are named and Oescribed, and the number of their
shares inserted? This is a point upon which the public
has a right to demand a categorical and full explanation.
Messrs. Talabot cannot fail to give it themselves. We,
On our part, formally demand it of them. We are quite
sure that they will not reins° it from the moment when
we say that this stipulation resembles very much the
clause which was the leading point in the affair of
Gouhenans."

In Commenting on these constant exposures of the
system, the Union Monarchique says—

which gives title to favour—it is s,,lvisliness. The
Ministers have re-established serfdom in France, an
odious bondage, in which a man kive3; himself in ex-
change for a possession which ought to be the price
of honour and liberty ! We are obliged to confine
ourselves to general terms, for what crowns this orr,-
nisztion of servitude is, that independence is a cri:ne
But who, hencel'orth, can. hide from himself the t&et

reoustrous caprices which displace poverty a.n i wealth, i.r
which sacrifice honesty and services? On all this spin-
tacle no mistake can be committed by the conscerice to
France. And if it be thus, if such be the convic?.ion of
the country, how can we be astonished that when Minis-
ters buy the consciences of men, teen in their turn have
the idea of purchasing the consciences of Minist,.rs? Is
that not a iiaturat exchanee or corruption and v twiny ?
And why sheuld it be more criminal to tempt the eupidi ty
of a Minister thi-sn that of an elector? Before human
morality where is the differ, nee? This simp:e queste.li
is very crave, and we ask it of, honest p-ople 110•
n«•sr. tieople, take care! To pross-cute and strike cor-
ruption in an is-elated act is not to crush corruptii n, is
riot to save Feamee. France perislns because the grin
eiple iif corruption is at he bottom of polities; an as km.:
is that principle lives, it ❑ecessarily preduces its conse-
quences. Ministers have• need of this principle ; they
hare often said that themselves, under the ambiguity of
their apologies. What is corruption they call influence,
action, exercise of the right of the State. That is, be.
cause their policy, having no strength in justice, they
cannot allow liberty to conscience! They mu- t make an
invasion in the private domain of man; that is all their
moral power. And then you have heard their irony ;
after having done violence to the free will of the citizens.
they cried, Do you feel yourselves corrupted?' Ah no!
the corrupted do not feel themcelves corrupt, precisely
because they are so. It is the virtuous who feel that
corruptors are the enemies, the plagues of the liberty
and dignity of the people ! Honest people, quit your
security! France is perishing by Ministerial corruption.
Take care that impassibility does not resemble a sort of
complicity in this systematic conspiracy of depravation.
Call to yourselves, for it is time, all men who have at
heart the grandeur of the country. Protest. ! petition!
speak! write! Let there be a league against the Minis-
terial system, which carries in itself the germ of public
degradation. The drama of the Luxembourg will not
be lost. if it be an occasion for honest people of all
parties to forget their quarrels in order to attempt to
saw France."

It is too late now to call for a league against a
system which carries in itself the germ of public de-
gradation. Such a league should have been formed
before Paris was fortified. That which has been ac-
quired by fraud, whether in France or Spain, will
be maintained by force; witness the complaints of
the Ministerial and Palace journals of the attempts of
the Opposition to prolong the session, witness the
fierce denunciations of all those who took part in the
Reform banquet at the Chateau Rouge, witness the
camps of 25,000 men each at Compeigne and Lune-
ville, witness the army of 40,000 men to be assembled
at the foot of the Pyrenees, witness the constant com-
munications between the officials of the Palace and
BUGEAUD and NARVAEZ.

The 15th being the file of St. HENRY, was cele-
brated with great éclat by the Legitimatists.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALLS-MONDAY.

Some singular fluctuations in the betting against the
Hero imparted more than usual interest to the Goodwood
Cup betting. It appears that for two or three days re-
ports of his bTing lame have been rife at the West end,
and that odds, ranging from 6 to 10 to 1, have been laid
against him. A more favourable disposition was evinced
yesterday, several hundred pounds having been laid out
at prices varying from 7 to 2 to 9 to 2, the last bet
being 4 to 1. Eryx maintained the position in
which he closed at Liverpool. The Wolfdog was
backed at 7 and 8 to 1, and Halo, with great
spirit, at 10 to 1- Sunbeam was declared not
to start, and Fitz-Emilius receded to 40 to 1; in
fact, was out of the betting. The betting on the Good-
wood Stakes was confined to six or eight horses, of
which the first five only were in any request. A few
bets were made on the St. Leger and Derby, but no
change worth speaking of arose. Latest prices:—

The long talked of sale by auction of Shakspere's
house at Stratford-on-Avon is this day announced in our
columns, by Mr. Robins, who has been selected by the
representatives of the late owner for the proud distinc-
tion of transferring this singularly interesting property
to a new proprietor. A wide field is offered to the auc-
tioneer to indulge in " fancy's sketch;" the style of the
advertisement is, in our opinion, written in a happy
spirit, and we have no doubt the description about to be
published of this unique property will be interesting to
everybody.

The Attie! lean teem to desire much to make a move-
ment for forwarding by an easier route the supplies of
grain received at Buffalo. Recent accounts state :
" Very few persons who do not look at the commercial
articles of the Buffalo papers, have the least idea of the
trade of that port. It is stated that there arrived in
Buffalo in twenty-four hours, i. e., en the 4th and sth
instant, 180.851 bushels of vs heat, 31,000 barrels of flour,
and 41,052 bushels of corn. By far the m..jor rein of
this goes now by the i'rie Canal, but. could ceme
throu7,,h our province were faciaties afforded by rail
ways across our p•-ninsula, and a tree exit by the St.
Lawrence. We take the folsowing from the New Yot k
Courier and Enquirer, Juue 3. The go a head
nation, however, will find it difficult to enlarge
their canal to use size of our St. Lawrence :
' The dine:dry, delay, and cost of transporting the
produce of the Lake region through the canal to tide
water, are becoming very serious considerations—more
especially when everything that can be raised is eagerly
forced forward to the advantage of existing high prices
on the sea-board. Miserable, paltry party politics,
which forbade the completion of the Erie Canal—and,
what is hardly less reprehensible—the apathy or indif-
ference of large portions of the business people of the
country, which has permitted to be engrafted into the
new constitution provisions that tie up the Legislature
from adequate grants towards completing the enlarge-
ment even now when its necessity is demonstrated—
these causes combined subject the whole world, we may
almost say, to delay in receiving full supplies from our
overflowing abundance, and impose upon agriculture
an unnecessary and enormous tax in the way of toll and
freights.' "
The English Funds have been very dull this morning,
and are not buoyant. The rise in the corn market, and
the decrease of bullion in the Bank, are still the causes
assigned. Consols have been 89 to 88f for present trans-
fer, and 89k I- for account. New Three-and -a-Quarter
per Cents. have been 915 4. Bank Stock has been firm,
at a rise to 1975. Exchequer-bids are 9s. to 12s. pre-
mium; and India Bonds ss. to 10s. premium.
The Foreign market is equally dull. The only bar-
gain in Spanish Bonds has been in the Passive, at 4i.
The Five per Ce"ts. have been nominally 21 to 22, and
the Three per Cents. 31 to 32. The letter sent by the
Committee of Bondholders to the Spanish Ambassador
will, it is hoped, have some effect. Mexican Bonds have
been at 195, and Chilian at 92 to . Dutch Two-and-

stairs to his room, where he was subsequently discovered
hanging by a rope from a rafter in the ceiling, quite
dead and cold. On the floor immediately under the
spot where the deceased was suspended, was written in
a bold hand, with chalk, " friends reside at No. 17,
Church-street, Brighton." His pockets were searched,
and in one a duplicate of a coat was found, pawned for
6s. at Mr. Folkard's, pawnbroker, Brighton, on Monday
last. Mr. Allingham, the officer of St. George's, South-
wark, took possession of the body, which he removed to
