political importance, and nations again look up to
the Roman See for assistance, when all other tails.
If the cantons of the League would attend to our
advice, we would tell them Anticipate the action
of the chief of your Church; adopt him as judge
of your scruples, your tears, and your apprehen-
sions, with regard to the encroachments on your reli-
gious freedom, which you, right or wrong, attribute
to your brethren, and abide like faithful Christians by
his pious decision." „
The Journal des Debut, publishes a letter from
Berne of the 23d, which contains the following:—
"Yesterday evening, as Mr. Peel was returning on
foot from a party in the suburbs of Berne, he was
rudely stopped by a sentinel. Mr. Peel asked him if
he understood French. The man replied in that lan-
guage that he did so perfectly ; but in German desired
the Minister to follow him to the guard-house, and
there lodged him without any regard to his station.
Mr. Peel in vain exhibited his permit of residence,
and was detained several hours, subjected to the insult
of rude and gross language. He was not released
until an officer of the police came in and recognised
him. Mr. Peel laid a complaint before the governor
of Berne, but it was, it is said, treated very lightly
by M. Ochsenbein, and it is expected that the repre-
sentative of England intends to demand a more suit-
able satisfaction. If it be true, but which we con-
tinue to doubt, that the Government of the Free
Corps has found some sympathy in the representative
of Great Britain, it must be confessed that it answers
to this very badly ; and this simple fact is quite
enough to give the measure of respect in which our
Liberals hold personal liberty."
The above, if not a positive fabrication, is no doubt
a gross exaggeration. The Berne correspondence
of the Journal des Debats is for the most par
written at the Foreign-office in Paris, and the scribe
employed by M. GuizoT to manufacture Swiss news
sometimes gives too free a rein to his imagination.
The Union Monarchique repeats, with details, the
report of 'the intention of the Bank of France to
subscribe for a portion of the new loan. This journal
says—

" The council of the Bank of France has decided
that the Bank should take part in the new loan to the
extent of 25 millions. This decision was preceded by,
a very warm discussion. Several members main-
tained that it would not be very proper or dignified
for the Bank of France to take an interest, in a
degree subsidiary to a private banking-house, in a
loan the conditions of which it had neither discussed
nor regulated. Notwithstanding these observations,
the majority pronounced in favour of a subscription
for the tenth part of the loan, at whatever rate it
might be taken by M. de Rothschild, who thus re-
mains sole master of the conditions. What is re-
markable is, that this decision was come to on the
report of M. Hottinguer, whose name was the only
one at first pronounced at the Bourse as likely to be
at the head of a company of French bankers to send
in a tender in opposition to M. de Rothschild."
The Constitutinonel confirms this report. It says—

" The Bank of France seems to have resolved to
take an interest of 25,000,000 f. in the new loan. It
is said that the Ministry has some weight in this deci-
sion. In fact, it appears, that the applications to the
receivers-general and the stockbrokers for shares in it
come in very slowly, and the Ministry conceives that
the news of the co-operation of the Bank will bring
the loan more into favour with the capitalists. A
morning journal has said that there is reason to believe
that this resolution of the Bank will be followed by
a petition to the Government for its authorisation to
increase the Bank capital to the amount of
90,000,000 t. ; but we have reason to believe that, at
present at least, nothing of the kind is in contempla-
tion; and, in fact, it is not when it is purchasing
Rentes that the Bank can have any need for enlarging
its capital. Without entering into a premature dis-
cussion, we shall content ourselves with observing that
the Bank, by taking at this moment an interest in the
loan, exposes itself to have reflections cast upon it.
People will ask why and how it happens to be able to
buy stock, when it has not cash enough in hand to
lower its discount to its primitive rate ? Now, it will
be feared that this reduction in the rate of discount, so
much desired by commerce, will become still more
remote by the sinking of the disposable capital of this
;;teat establishment. These are the points which the
Bank ought to reflect upon before it comes to an irre-
vocable decision."

Accounts have been received from Algiers to the
20th. The Akbar publishes a proclamation ad-
dressed by the Due D'AUMALE to the Kabyles, an-
nouncing his appointment as Governor-General of
the colony.
The Moniteur Algerien states that two razzias took
place on the 13th and 14th on the territory of the
Ahmyanes Gharabas, to the south of Sebdon, who
abandoned 15,000 sheep, 240 camels, a number of
horses, and a considerable booty, to the hands of the
French and their native auxiliaries. The utmost
tranquillity continued to prevail in the provinces of
Algiers and Oran, and hostilities had ceased in the
neighbourhood of Gigelly since the attack of the 3d.

HAYMARKET THEATRE.

The Taming of the Shrew, as originally written
by Shakspere, and acted at the Globe Theatre, before
the art of scene-painting was known, and when a
change of scene was indicated by a placard inscribed
with the name of the place intended to be represented,
was revived at this theatre last evening. On its re-
vival in this fashion three years since, Webster was
the Petruchio and Mrs. Nisbet the Katharine, and
last evening they resumed their old characters. The
Katharine of Mrs. Nisbet is the best on the stage,
and Webster throws a heartiness into the character
of Petruchio which " tells" exceedingly. The
Grumio of Keeley, who sustained the character last
evening, is a vast improvement on that of his prede•
censor. Keeley is a true Shaksperean actor—rich,
racy, unctions, and droll, without any overacting or
bufibonery. His Grumio is worthy to rank with his
Verges, both being perfect. Mrs. Nisbet, Webster,
and Keeley were all called before the curtain at the
conclusion.
