her Britannic MAJESTY. Ferrara, commanded the civic guard to place itself
----41110"--- on the war establishment, and that the population of
the Roman States are everywhere making prepara-
tions to resist Austrian aggression.
A letter from Rome, of the 12th of August, says—
"Cardinal FERRETTI caused a supplement of the
Diario to be yesterday published, to make known
the protestation of the 6th of Cardinal Cteccut. The
publication of this protest, and the approbation of it
by the Pope, have excited the enthusiasm of the
people all the more intensely, because the Ambassadors
of France and Austria adopted measures to dissuade,
the Cardinal Secretary of State from its publication.'
The people wished to make a demonstration in favour'
of the POPE, but abstained from doing so, in order'
not to embarrass or offend him.

We have unsparingly censured those parties in
Ireland, who either collectively or individually have
attempted in any manner to repudiate their liability
to repay the several sums advanced from the national
Exchequer for the relief of the distress in their
several districts, advances which, it should be remem-
bered, were made in aid, and on the securities of rates
to be subsequently collected. Such a course of con-
duct was not merely disgraceful to the parties by
whom it was pursued, but it also evidenced the
greatest folly. It could not possibly be successful, and
it would most probably deprive them of indulgences
and accommodation, with respect' to the time and
manner of liquidation, which might be afforded if a
more judicious and reasonable answer was returned
to the applications for payment, and it would
effectually prevent the assistance which would
otherwise be granted, by way of loans
to either public bodies or private indi-
viduals, for the purpose of developing the re-
sources of their country and effecting those improve-
ments which the proprietors of the soil are unable,
from their pecuniary embarrassments and the want
of sufficient capital, to undertake, although in -the
highest degree beneficial during their progress, from
the quantity of, employment thereby occasioned, and
promising an ample and remunerative return on the
amount of the expenditure. It is not only the duty
of Irishmen, as upright and honourable men,
but it is also their wisest policy, to discourage all
those who by word or deed encourage an organized
opposition to the just responsibility. No Ministry
would venture under present circumstances to bring
forward a proposition for the total remission of these
loans. The manner in which the suggestions of Lord
CLEMENTS were received immediately previous to the
dissolution of Parliament, when not a single Member,
either English or Irish, could be found to acquiesce
in their propriety, established this fact. The British
people, although they willingly assented to every ex-
penditure necessary for the relief of their suffering
brethren, yet felt that had the Irish landlords in ge-
neral performed the duties incidental to their position
with the same fidelity that was observed by English-
men in a similar situation, and by very many of their
own body, this calamity, fearful as it undoubtedly
was, would not have reached to the harrowing and
frightful extent to which it arrived. They also felt that
landowners in Ireland were exempted from many
burdens to which their English brethren were sub-
jected. They, therefore, demanded as a condition of
that assistance, that henceforward these dutiesshould
be strictly enforced, and that a portion at least of the
necessary outlay should be defrayed by, or out of the
properties of those who were, prink; facie, liable for
the entire. The assistance was rendered on these ex-
press conditions, and was gladly accepted by the re-
cipients. One part of the contract has been performed :
three millions of persons have been supplied with
f(x)d, until the arrival of a more propitious and plen-
tiful time rendered such aid no longer necessary. And
it is not now for those who have benefited thereby to
rescind the agreement, and to demand that they
should he released from the stipulated return. The
Poor-law Act of last session will enforce for the fu-
ture the discharge of the duties of landlordism. The
repayment of the advances is necessary for the full
perfortnance of the stipulations, and the British Le-
zislarure and the British people will in no wise
consent to the evasion or neglect thereof.
But while we are disposed to demand this full per-
t'ormance, we would willingly accept it from those who
Acknowledged the propriety and justice of our claim,
and expressed their willingness and anxiety to pay,
so far as lay in their power, at such times and by
such instalments as the circumstances of the case
may require. It is not our desire to press unduly
on our Irish brethren, or to enforce that which they
may be wholly unable to meet. Although there is
neither reason or justice in the demand for an abso-
lute release, a request for time is of quite a different
character, and will not needlessly be refused.
If every board of guardians in Ireland
evinced the same discretion that was exhi-
bited by the srudority of the Fernioy board
on the 18thilist., we should have little fear of a satis-
factory arrangement being speedily entered into.
On a former occasion a strong opposition was made
at the meeting of the body, and that by some of its
most influential members, to any recognition of the
dOoii.C: They desired to meet with a peremptory
refu4al the demand of the Commissioners, that a rate
should he struck for the purpose of repaying the
amount of the advances under the Temporary Relief
Act. The sum claimed amounted to 3s. in the pound
in addition to the ordinary sum required for the sup-
port of the poor within the district, which varied
from ss. to Is. 4d. in the different divisions. A por-
tion of the guardians, however, refused to join the
repudiators, or to subject themselves to such a re-
proach. A series of resolutions were Proposed setting
forth the uselessness of striking rates which it would
be quite impossible to collect, stating what they had
already done, having in July struck rates of eight
times the ordinary amount, and pledging the members
of the board, so tar as in them lay, to assist the collectors
to enforce this payment; and finally, after referring to
the declaration of her MaaesTy's Ministers, that the
expenditure for relief should be provided for by ,say
of advance from the national Exchequer, one-half by
way of grant, the other moiety as a loan to be repaid
in a period of ten years, by - half-yearly instalments,
declared their readiness to carry out this equitahlc
proposition of the Ministry. Now, this was a fair and
straightforward manner of meeting the difficulties in
which they were placed, which proved the sincerity
of the gentlemen by whom the resolutions were sup-
parted, and which would most certainly be responded
to in a like spirit. It was, however, oppoSed by some
at' the more fiery spirits, and an amendment was ac-
cordingly proposed, calling for a general meeting of
ail the Poor-law guardians throughout the country,
to adopt a general and united course to resist any
payment. This amendment was debated with all the
ardour and energy usual in Irish assemblies, but ul-
timately the more pradent members obtained the
triumph, and the resolutions were adopted by a ma:
jority of 30 to 7. We 'congratulate the Fermoy
beard on this decision ; they have set an example
which, if generally followed, will be productive of
lie hest results, and lead to the satisfactory settle-
ment of the vexata questio.

Madrid papers of the 17th have arrived.
It is said that in consequence of his inability to'
bring about a reconciliation between the royal couple,
Senor PACHECO would resign, and that SALAMANCA
would be his successor. The sudden departure of
NARVAEZ for Paris, however, looks as if those who
really govern Spain had determined otherwise. The
Duke of GLITCKSBURGH has been actively intriguing
about the Court of late, and has been frequent in his
visits to the Prado. _ _

There was a great scarcity of money in Madrid,
and several Bills have been returned from France pro-
tested from non-acceptance. The bank is much em-
barrassed in consequence of the immense advances
it has made to SALAMANCA, to enable him to continue
his railway speculations, and now not a farthing can
be realised on the scrip which he has deposited as
security.

We have received the Paris papers of Sunday.
The murder of the Duchess DE PEASLIN continued
to engross the public attention. The Duke was
transferred to the prison of the Luxembourg on
Saturday, and interrogated by the judicial officers of
the Chamber of Peers. He appears to be in a state
of complete prostration, but has not made any ad-
mission that he is the murderer. For some time after
his arrest he refused to taste food, but he now takes
his meals regularly. On Friday he attempted sui-
cide by swallowing laudanum. The prompt adminis-
tration of remedies prevented him from carrying his
intentions into effect.

The political effects of this murder are likely to
be important. The doctrine of " moral complicity,"
that convenient invention of M. Guzzor and his
patrons, by which they sought to implicate all who
opposed their political views and arguments in the
guilt :of the Alibauds and Fieschis, is now turned
with terrific force against themselves, and considering
the intimate relations which existed between the
members of the Royal Family and the Duke and
Duchess DE PRASLIN, such a state of the public mind
cannot but be regarded with the utmost alarm.
The Petrie says " that the Duchess took offence at
the intercourse subsisting between the governess
and the Duke, and without a high intervention would
have demanded a regular separation. The Duke,
yielding to prudent advice, consented to the gover-
ness being sent away; and.the Duchess, in acknow-
ledgment of this concession, settled on her a pension
for life. It is said that some of the Royal Family
interfered recently to reconcile the Duke and
Duchess. The KING, the QUEEN, and particularly
Midame ADELAIDE, had a great affection for the
Duchess. The Duke, who had been an intimate
friend of the Duke of ORLEANS, was intimate also
with the Duke pm NEMOURS, who invited him to
all his hunting excursions. They thought the Duke
and Duchess reconciled since Mdlle. DE Luzr's de-
parture. Marshal SEBASTIAN', it is said, intended to
set out for Corsica only
.when assured that hit
daughter was reconciled to her husband."

M. GUIZOT, who knows how to exploiter every
occurrence, has taken advantage of the horror in-
spired by this terrible assassination to hasten the pre-
parations for a coup detat in Spain, by quietly dis-
patching General NARYAEZ in all haste to Madrid on
Sunday. Under any other circumstances the de-
parture of NARVALZ from Paris would have been the
&object of general remark—as it is it has passed sub
siLntio.

The Journal des Debats gives the intelligence
which we published yesterday cf the entry oS the
Austrian troops into Ferrara, but adds, " we give
this news with reserve, and wait for its confirmation,"
a pro,.f, if any were wanted, that M. GUIZOT will
sacrifice Italy and Switzerland to Austria.
The Courrier de Lyon mentions the following fact,
as showing the tendencies of the French Government:
—" For a long time past great numbers of the
people of Switzerland and Savoy have been in the
habit of going to Aix-les-Bains, in France, for the
benefit of the waters, and, as the countries adjoin,
passports were not insisted upon. This year the
Swiss people have been allowed the same privilege.
but on wishing to return home those who are not
Provided with passports are refused liberty to leave
the country. Many have been stopped who pro-
duced certificates front the medical men at Aix.
For some time the French authorities intimated that
these stringent and unjust measures were adopted by
the desire of the Sardinian Government, but it now
appears that, on the contrary, the Sardinian Govern-
ment has remonstrated against them, and that it is
in order to annoy the Swiss. Liberals that M. GUIZOT
has given the orders in question."
The Funds fell on Sunday. In the Passage de
l'Opera the Three per Cent4.-were done so low as

to walk in the garden at.the rear of the accident ward.

It appears from the Swiss Catholic Gazette that all
the inhabitants of the Catholic cantons are by no
means in favour of the League, which is placing itself
in rebellion against the Federal Government. In the
canton of Zug, the communes of Cham 'and Hunem-
berg have had, says this organ of the Jesuits, " the
audacity to present themselves at the shooting exer-
cise of Kuonan with a crape attached to the federal
colours ; and the Vice-President GRIMMER, who was
at the head of the marksmen of the two communes,
was not ashamed to pronounce a discourse impreg-,
rsted with Radical principles :": whereupon the
Jesuit print urges the authorities of Zug to adopt
the most energetic measures -to punish these guilty
communes for their crimes. Were we not • right

According to reports from Liverpool, money bears still
a high value there, even upon the best class bills, and
although the mercantile community of that flourishing
town have stood, their ground most creditably, they
feel severely the existing pressure. We are sorry to
announce another firm as being in difficulties to-day.
This house is connected with Belgium, and lost heavily
by the recent suspension of Messrs.-'Fraser, and we

The rate of exchange from Hamburgh comes firm at

The grain markets of Hamburgh, Petersburgh,

Her Majesty's ship Curaeoa, from Rio de Janeiro,
brings accounts!of June 27th, bat via the United States,
we have intelligence of the 29th June inclusive. The
exchange was flat at 27id., with a tendency further to
decline. The negotiations with Rosas concerning the
river Plate question were still going on. From an Ame-
rican journal we take the following extracts :
" The latest Rio paper received by us is the Jornol
do Comercio of the 29th of June.
"We learn, verbally, that the ill-feeling between the
Brazilians and Americans continued to exist, and that
it had spread throughout the Brazilian population. The
Americans were anxiously looking for the Ohio and the
relief squadron. The Ohio will probably reach there in
about two weeks, with the Hon. Mr. Tod, our new
Minister, on hoard. The Brandywine has not yet
sailed from Norfolk. The Ohio will remain at Rio till
the arrival of the Brandywine.
" It is said that the Brazilians throw every impedi-
ment in the way of the American ship-masters. They
still retain the Sarah and Esther and Yeoman.
" We are under the impression that Brazil will have
her hands too full in warding off the blows from Rosas,
of Buenos Ayres, to quarrel with the United States.
We feel sure that on the arrival of Mr. Tod, the new
American Minister, and of Mr. Lisboa, at Rio, the
Brazilian Government will see the folly of its course to-
wards this country.
" The frigate Columbia was at Rio; the brig of war
Bainbridge was on a cruise, rendering efficient service.
" The news contained in the Anew/ do Comercio, is
uninteresting. The Senate were still in session, but the
business they were engaged in was local, and we do not
see any allusions made to affairs with this country.
" From the specimen of the reports of their congressional
proceedings in the official papers, newspaper tactics seem
advancing in Brasil.
" The dates from Buenos Ayres and Monte Video, which
they had at Rio, were not later than those received here
—June 7th and 10th."
The Consol account begins to develop itself, and
there have been further sales of Stock both for money
and on speculation, the quotations being 861 to 871.
Exchequer-bills have been quoted 3s. premium to Is.
discount, indicating rather an increased demand for
money. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have
been 881 to 891.
In the Foreign Stock Market the dealings have been
again " few and far between." Spanish Five per Cents.
have been marked 20, and Portuguese Old Bonds 80 to
81. Mexican Stock has been at 1841. Brazilian Bonds
are rather flatter at 831. Dutch Four per Cents. have
been 88t to 811.
Railway shares are looking rather heavy again this
morning, but the business doing is scarcely sufficient to
give a decided tendency to the market.
