SPAIN.

The followinis telegraphic despatches, some of which
had been delayed by the state of the atmosphere, have
been received by the French Government:—
.." PERPIGNAN; OCT. Is.—The General commanding
the 21st Military Division to the Minister of War.—
Disturbances have broken out at Cadiz. The populace_
have devastated the printing-office of the Csllebe, and

dred Moderadoshve been arrested at Barcelona. On
the 12th the-public mind there was agitated, but physical
tranquillity preVailed. Pas'sporti were -still refused. for
France. The Constitutionnel of the 13:lt shows some
uneasiness as to the disposition of the 'troops, who are,
it says, however, too few in number to resist 'l2 batta-
lions of National Guards."
" PERPIGNAN, OCT. 16.—The General commanding
the 21st Military Division to the Minister of War.—Ac-
cording to the Cimstitucional of the 14th the Junta of
Vigilance has signified its intentions of demanding a
loan. This Journal desires that this tax should fall
upon capitalist's. It is just, it says, that those who ex-
cited the war should pay the expense of it. The Junta
of Vigilance has ordered that all the estaalwes who were
named by the Junta of the
..Government of 1840, and
who have since'been deprived of their -effices, shall he,

* "'" PiiIPIGN.AN, OCT. I7.—The General commanding
the 21st Military Division to the Minister of War.---The

confiscation of property, of all the inhabitants of Barce-
lona who should not return thither immediately ; and
the suppression of the duty upon flour. 'lt has named
the receiver of its forced loan. The National Guard
of Sarria has been disarmed, as not being sufficient)
patriotic."
" PERPIGNAN, OCT. 18.—The General commanding
the 21st Military Division to the. Minister of War.—
General Seoane left Valencia for Arragon on the 11th,
with three battalions. There; was -agitation at Valencia
on the 13th. The National Guard prevented the Mode-
rados from leaving the town. The Junta of Vigilance
of Barcelona has ordered the formation of two free bat-
talions, a company of public safety, and the arming of
all persons who merit confidence. On the 10th it de-
manded 10,000 muskets of the Captain General. It de-
creed the formation of a Junta of Vigilance of five mem-
bers for each district town. It has prohibited the clergy,
the consuls, and foreigners from interfering with public
affairs, and has subjected the National Guard to military
regulations. Ros and Torreus, members of the 'Junta,
are charged with the granting of passports.' The situa-
tion of Barcelona remained the same on the morning of
the clay before yesterday."
"BardarifE, OCT. 18.--.-The Sub-Prefect to the Minis-
ter of the Interior.—General Alcala, with his troops,
fearing that, he would have his communications cut off
by the insurgents -of. Guipuzcoa, was to return to St.
Sebaaaie..n.syestercley evening. It is said that the Na-
tional Guard intend to shut the gates against him, and
toilefesadthe place themselves."
IlavoNlSE,...Ocas 18.—The Sub-Prefect to the Miniss
ter of Were-sTh.e..ceuriers from Madrid to the 12th have
areived by. way of Jaca. The Regent has named Rodil
Cetein,Geeerel of the armies, and Lorenzo Lieutenant-
General. A
.permanent Court-martial has been estab-
lished ut Madrid. The Ayuntamiento came on the 11th
to Solieit. the Regent to take energetic and exceptional
measures. General O'Donnell took Puente de la Reyna
on the 14th."
The Moniteur Parisien gives the following details of
the state of Pampeluna and its environs on the 13th
instant, receives! -from an eye-witness, who arrived on
Monday in Paris :
" The news of the check received at Madrid by the
movement party has not discouraged those who have
raised the frontier provinces, and displayed their
standard on the citadel of Pampeluna.. This re-.
verse 'has only exasperated them and increased.
their energetic devotion to the cause which they
have embraced. When O'Donnell went out from Pam-
peluna to join Ortigosa, he took with him 2,500 infantry
and 350 cavalry, and carried upwards of 3,000 muskets,
for the purpose of arming the peasantry Who had de-
clared, or might declare, for the 'Queen Rege t.
Throughout their paAage O'Donnell - and Ortigosa were
received with acclamations, and great numbers of the
country people joined them. The President of the De-
Imitation of Navarre, the Baron de Biguezal, has pub-
lished a proclamation, calling all the population to arms.
The Commandant, Lanz, has assembled a corps of 300
volunteers 'to keep open the communication with the
French frontier."
A great number of Spanish refugees," says the Me-
morial of Pau, " are daily doming in and-requiring pass-
ports to be countersigned for their return to Auch, Agen,
and other places in the interior. It is estimated .that
abopt 400 of them had obtained leave to return
,previous
to the late events."
We find the following in a letter from Satagossa, of
the 12th instant Boras) di Carminati is a Piedinon-
tese by birth. He commenced his military career in
his own country, under Colonel Pacchiercati, who pro-
claimed the Constitution at Turin in 1812. He took re-
fuge in Spain, and in 1823 belonged to the foreign
legion. In the last war he distinguished himself by
his services and his courage. General Oraa, who was
for a long time head- of the staff of Cordova and
Espartero, gave•'him his niece in marriage. Bersci,
allied to the partisans of the Constitution of 1812,
and member of the Carbonari Club, passed for
an Exaltado in the • army. He separated him-
self from his party at the end of 1838, tinder circuins
stances which did him great honour. He had promised,
in conjunction with Colonel Pezuela, to spare the lives
of two hundred Carlists, who had surrendered at dis-
cretion in an affair at Valencia ; but Van Halen, who
has just been named Captain-General of Arragon, hav-
ing had them shot, Borso and Pezuela sent in their re-
signation. This not being accepted, they 'continued to
serve, but in doing so openly professed themselves to be
Moderados, and have'since been the most active members "
Three trincadores of the navy are getting ready at
Bayenne.for cruising on the north coast of Spain, and
are fo-be.followed by three more,
The Mem:rial Bordelais has the following :
" It is .reported that a fresh disturbance has been
created at-Madrid by the Radicals after the 9th inst., in
which even the hotel of the French Ambassador was
not Spared. A report is current' in Bordeaux that
among the persons arrested are the Dukes of Castro-
Terreno and San Carlos, that of the ex-Minister Istu-
ritz is confirmed. it is also asserted that the British
Ambassador, joined by the other diplomatists at Madrid,
had made representations to Espartero's Govern-
ment, urging that the effusion of blood on this oc-
casion should be spared as much as possible. Sir
Arthur Aston had a private audience of the
Regent on the Bth. The Duchess de la Victoria is
making a tour in Andalusia, and has been to Gibraltar,
on the invitation of the authorities there. The Governor
made great preparations for her reception -at his resi-
dence, and sent an English steamer and brig of war to
convey and escort her 'to Melees'. It is said that no-
thing was spared to give to the Censors of the Regent
proofs of the friendship England bears towards him.
Her reception was altogether worthy of a Queen, and
made in compliance with instructions from the Cabinet
of St. James."

FOLIC I'ERSONS BURNT TO ASIIES !—We have been

fused to the 46 officers of the Second Regiment of the
Royal Guard, who came into France on their ultimate
desertion by their men. These officers have been sent
to. Orthez, to remain there in depot.
A letter from Madrid, of the Bth inst., in the -Debuts,
says :—" The Count de-Requentt, son of the Duke de la
Rocca, is the young Colonel who accompanied Queen
Christina to Paris. He returned to Madrid with the
letters and presents which the Queen of Spain had sent
to Espartero and his wife. Brigadier Quiroga-y-Frias
is the nephew of General Quiroga, who died a year ago
in Gallicia. Ilewas chief of the staff of the Captain-
General of New Castille. Zequeira and Quiroga were re-
garded jti the army astwo of its best and bravest...officers."

A WOLF IN SHEEP'S CLoriusa.—An- extraordinary
piece of roguery was developed yesterday. A preten-
ded German preacher, in clerical attire, was brought up
for a very singular offence. His name is Henry Hohn-
holz, and he had been preaching in Boston to irregular
congregations of his countrymen.. He
_hails from the
interior of Pennsylvania. On Wednesday last he fell, in
with a superstitious German girl, and affected to take an
interest in her, and got her a place in a German family.
In the course of that evening and the next day, he per-
suaded her that he was inspired by God io claim her as his
wife, and kept praying with • her, and he made her be-
lieve that he had the power to marry her himself by their
both piing through certain acts of devotion. On Thule's-
day afternodn, he took her to a tavern out of town and
consummated his purpose, and cohabited with her till :Sun-
day, and even introduced her es his wife to sense Ger-
mans, into whose society he had contrived to thrust
himself. A relative of the girl found out what had
taken place, and went to a house in South Boston where
she was, and took her'away. The scoundrel then made
preparations to run away, but Constable Ruins was upon
himin the evening, and secured, him, but not before he
committed
themfeilttte(l t
to
weightail
for troftial the
preacher's knuckles. He was
at the Municipal Court. The
girl's name is Heiltdck.—Boston Post.
ARREST OF ONE OF THE. MURDERERS OF MARY
ROGERS.—On Monday, James Finnegan was arrested
at Albany by officer Tompkins of this city, under in:
formation, says the Argus, amounting nearly to cer-
tainty that he is one of the murderers of Mary Rogers.
The police have already two or three of the gang in
custody, and one of them confessed to the crime, and
implicated Finnegan. The keeper of a house, to which
they were in the habit of resorting, informed the police
of F.'s whereaboutsehe having quitted the city immedi-
ately after the murder. Two of the gang were .knowu
to Mary Rogers, and, it is said, that, meeting her in
the street on the morning of ler murder, invited her to
sail to Hoboken, saying that they had hired a boat
with oarsmen—that she accompanied them—was en-
ticed, unsuspecting, to a retired part of the shore, and
there, after the accomplishment of their hellish pur-
poses, brutally murdered. Finnegan, when arrested,
wore a rind which is said to have been identified as be-
longing to. Miss Rogers,
INCENDIARIES.—The Rev. J. Rankin, of Ripley, Mis-
souri;-publishes in the ''Telegraph of that place, that on.
the night of the 12:h instant an attempt was made to
fire his barn and to attack his house, by some six or
.eight men. Threats had reached Mr. Renkin's ears of
an intended attack, and he had prepared himself with.
arms for his defence. His son and. nephew hearing a
signal whistle, rushed out of the house with pistols.
The son came upon one of the ruffians, and received a
shot so close reeete. set-Ws shirt. on fire, and leave on Ws
body "severe' distinet niurke of shot. The fire was re-
Lured, sshen the assailgits cried murder and ran, An-
other man fired at the nephew, which was returned, and
with a loud shriek his assailant fled, slower than the
others. Six or seven shots passed in a few secon•ls—
the young men pursued, but without overtaking the mob
--nor,have the persons concerned since been discovered.
The attempt to fire the barn failed,-Owing to the damp-
ness of the night. Mr. Rankin is an Abolitionist.
Fear, IN VERNON.—We kern that the large satinet
factory of the New England 'Company, in f:oskville
(Vernon), of which George Kellogg, Eq., S agent,
was destroyed by fire on Saturday evening, with all 46
contents. We have not heaid the part:tulari, but un-

"Gentlemen —The .-New South Wales Act of 1828-;

called on to provide n. the legislative wants of the colony.
I do not doubt that you will cheerfully meet this further

my power to lay before you the important-Bills which
were suspended last year, in -order that-the instruetion
of her Majesty's Government might be obtained on some
material points involved in them.. I trtist. however, that
before the end of the session I maybe able to-reproduce

I hope sh' ray to be in a condition to do so. •
" The important measures for which legislative pro-
vision was made by the•• Council during its last session,
have been as far al poss:b!e carried into effect by tl.e
executive - authority. A Court of superior jurisdic.ien
has been .establiehed at Port Philip ; Circuit Courts at
Bathurst, Berrima, and Maitland ; and Courts of Re-
quests in a considerable number of the minor towns of
the colony. These are measures not- only calculated to
be of great benefit to the colonists, but are otherw ine of
importance, as approximating the institutions of the
colony to the condition of those which we look up to
with veneration in our parent land. •
" A census has been taken of our-population, and es
soon as possible, after all the returns are received, I shall
lay the result before the Council.'
" The colony has, moreover, in many other resptcs
advanced during the year, in a gratifying and encou-
raging manner. -
" Steam navigation has. greatly increased; a store of
grain is provided against the recurrence of such a ca•
lamity as that which visited us in 1839; immigration
has been continued in a copious, though still an insuffi-
cient stream; and the streets of Sydney are the first to
testify that gas lights have made their appearance in the
Eastern hemisphere. -
" But notwithstanding these many subjects of congra-
tulation, it must be acknowledged, that the few months
which have elapsed since the Council last separated have
been•anxiott‘ ones for the colony, and obvious to all,
that the present times require of us the exercise of pa-
tience, industry, mutual forbearance, and economy;
with these, however, I feel confident that we shall eerily
surmount our difficulties; whilst the evils of the present
day will become profitable lessons for the future.
" The commercial embarrassments, which first showed
! themselves in Sydney . about the month of October or
November last, Aid not afflict the public income of 1840.
The revenue of that year was indeed the largest ever
collected in the colony—the gross receipts of the year
having exceeded the gross expenditure by the large
sum of 120,013!.1. notwithstanding that in the expenditure
was included very nearly 150,0001. for immigration.
" The ordinary revenue • of the Port Philip district
was more than double that of the precedineeyear, it
having incl.,- a'ed from 14,008/.. in 1839 to 29;799/. in
13-10, whilst the sale of Crown lands in that -district
Vroneht to the •general land fund the -large antoont of
217,1271. thus affording to the older parts of the colony
the a (tens of replacing the labour and capital Which the -
opening of Port Phillip had drained -from elein. ' •
" Aided by the resources of the Older settletnenti, but
unassisted ‘vith. barrowed money, -the district-or- Pert
Philip hes risen rapidly to a State of wealth aatl
tance, which cannot but be highly gratlying to Ow entire
colony.
The pecuniary difficulties utuler.l•
ibich ineny
'rests in the Colony are- still suffering, omega,
expected to affect the revenue of the present year, and
of probably the next -suceeedinee-eite ; the `falling off,
however, is as yet only serisibly`felt in the bianch of it
which is derived from the sale of land, and in this even
the deficiency may in part be ascribed to other causes,
" 'nem pecuniary difficulties may safely,- I believe, be.
said to have arisen from excessive speculation and an
undue extension of credit. They seem to be of the nut-
tare of those which frequently and almost periodically
occur in all places where commercial adventure is ewe.;
and a remedy for them is, , I think, to be looked. fort
the natural course of events, rather .than to be seitgitt,
in any legislative enactments.lll

Af, of the circumstances which have contributed
to bring about these embarrassments in our commercial
relations may perhaps, without much risk of error, be
pointed out, though it is very necessary to bear in tninti
that in seeking to disc:sm.:rr such agencies the are very
likely to. mistake elD!ctstor causes.
".The scarcity of 1838,and 1839 caused a great anon
from golonyl4 the first necessary of life, and pro-
ducedsxcesre..quetuationt, in the price of every descrip-
tion 'tif` train.
" 'The decline in price of our chief staple commodity,
wool, Lessened the value of our exports in the home
m ark et.,
"'Theexcessive condgnment of goods to the colony,
. mostly speculation, by mercantile houses. in England,'
produced a depreciation in the value of nearly every•
species of merchandise, calculated to affect more or less
tl“e transactions of the whole commercial body.
" The necessity of disposing of these goods contri •
bated to the undue extension of credit ; whilst the rapid
influx of Capital into the colony may have had a te.i-
dency to encourage hazardous speculations, .and the 'em-
ployment of money in investments not yielding any im-
mediate return.
" A more abundant supply of labour is undoubtedly
the one great thing wanted in the colony, for without
labour no wealth can be produced, no capital can be pro-
fitably employed.
" I shall propose to the Council immediately to re-ap-
point the Committee on Immigration, and I have kom e
important papers to lay before it.
" In a country where labour is so much in demand,
it must apprar strange to all who have their eyes directed
on us, that we should neglect the nearest source from
which it is to be obtained—l mean the real children of
the soil, the aboriginal inhabitants of the country.
Though by nature wild, and with difficulty induced to
submit to the restraints which are imposed on ordinary
labourers, abundant proof exists that they may be made
to du so ; I have seen some establishMents myself, and
am informed of others in which they hive been, and still
are, profitably employed.
The colonists are iudividttally no leSs than collec-
tively concerned in this important matter ; and in ad-
dition to the considerations of religion, humanity. and
justice, which press so heavily upon us, we have now a
further reason fln. turning our attention to it, as I hare

!.He returned to England in 1752, and the first reCeptien
of his works speaks volumes on, the perversion, at' taste
with . whith he had to combat, and which he had the
'glory of combating so successfully. The artists were of
course the fOremost to denounce the heresy against the
established and orthodox mode of portrait-painting,
which was implied in the boldness and freedom of his
conceptions and the brilliancy of his colouring. His old
master, Hudson, was the first to exclaim. Having looked
for some time at a portrait which Reynolds had painted,
and seeing probably nothing of his own manner left, he
cried out, " By G—, Reynolds, you don't paint so well
as you did !"
.a face-maker, who had studied
under Kneller, remonstrated on his imprudence. " !
Reynolds, this will never do ; why you don't paint the
least like Sir Godfrey." The painter argued the point
with his senior, who at length walked out of the room

secret influence, some power that coul I be felt but not
seen, Counteractel the best exertions, the most phi-
lar Virnpic acts, and tl:e soundest policy of his Lord-
ship. We could write books, we could tell many a
ta'c, we could bring fOrward facts and statemeets of
a startling nature, if we had time, but we wish to con-
fine ourselves now to the Hunters' Association, to show.
what is its organization and strength. As we do not
peopree to write its history, it may be sufficient to state
that it was about tl is time that we can trace the begin-
ning of what afterwards was called the Hunters' Asso-
ciation. Whether it originated in New York or Ver-
mont, whither the 111‘Kenzies, the Nelsons, the Coats,
were its principal founders ; whether the Baron Fratte-
lin, or the Chevalier de Lorimer, were the persons at
whale -suggestion it was formed, we cannot say. Nei-
ther ean we say whether it originated in the spontaneous
will and wish of its founders, or whether, at the
very outset, it owes its origin to foreign influence.
In May, 1838, the first lodges were formed, and Brian
was elected one of the grand eagles for Vermont. The
object of this body will be best understood from the
form cif the oaths administered to its members. It is
literally this :—" I swear to do my utmost to promote
republican institutions and ideas throughout the world,
to cherish them, to defend them, and especially to de-
vote myself to tl e propagation, protection, and defence
of these institutions in North America. I pledge my
life, my property, and my honour to the Association. I
bind myself to its interests, and I promise, until death,
that I will attack, combat, and help to destroy, by all
means that my superior may think proper, every power
or authorities of royal origin upon this continent, and
especially never to rest till the British tyrants cease to
have any possession or footing whatever in North Ame-
rica. So he'p me, God." The organization of the
Association is divide-I into three principal branches—
political, the military, and the financial ; which three
branches are again subdivided into-many sections. The
classification of the members is• as follows :—l. A
Grand Sasar:en, or Grand Master—(Chief President).
2. Grand Engles—(Preddents of the different States).
:3..E iglu—(Chiefs of Counties). 4. Grand Leaders—
(Chiefs of Districts). 5. Grand Hunters (Chiefs of
Townships). 6. Chief Hunters—(Chiefs of Lodges).
7. Hunters. The Supreme Lodge can be called the Executive.and
Consultative Council of the Sasanen , but, in order to
give a correct idea of the organization of the whole,
we will carry our readers through the different ranks
and classifications. An inferior, lodge is formed of
from twenty to thirty common hunters, having for a
head a chief hui:t.,.r, twenty to thirty of these chief
hunters folin. the lodge of a grand
.hunter, twenty
grand bunters form- the lodge 'Of a grand leader. The
grand leaders are members orthe Council of the Eagle,
whilst„ tworer more eag'es have consultative votes in
the direction of the.-Society under the grand eagle in
each State. It will be seen, that the whole, or the
principle' of Otis organization, is mistrust ; and it insist
be acknowledged that, if the discipline anti the statutes
could have been enforced to the extent proposed, it
would have creaed infinitely more mischief Oran it has
as yet done.
By the rule of the Society, every member, of what-
ever rank, is obliged to provide himself' with a rifle or
mtisket, a sword or dagger, and have always in his ha-
bitation forty charges opowder ; he is, besides, obliged
to pay the following contributions :—Common hunter,
2 cents per week, or a dollar per year ; a chief hunter,
di cents per week, or 3 dollars per year; a grand
hunter, 122 cents per week, or six dollars per year ; a
gran4 leader, 25 cents per week, or 12 dollars per year;
an eagle, 371 cents per week, or 16 dollars per year ;
wand eagle, 50 cents per week, or 20 dollars per year ;
sasanen, 1 dollir per week, or 50 dollars per year ; be-
sides, a dollar is paid as entrance money, and a dol'ar
on the election to any rank.
The whole of this sum is kept at the disposal of the
Supreme Council, and generally is used, partly to pro-
vide arms and ammunition for the poorer members,
who cannot affor.l to buy them themselves ; to support
newspapers and publications elited is the interest of
the Association ; in paying emissaries, lecturers, post-
ages, and accumulating deposits of arms, cannon, and
so faith.
The number of lodges five months ago. were as fol-
low :—Maine, 99 ; Vermont, 107 ; New York, 283 ;
Michisran, 54 ; Wisconsin, 7 ; Illinois, 21 ; Indiana,
14 ; Ohio, 86 ; Pennsylvania, 49 ; Kentucky, 11 ; Vir-
ginia, 21 ; Maryland, 16 ; Delaware, 2 ; New Jersey,
17 ; Missouri, 39 ; lowa, 3 ; Louisana, 11 ; New Hamp-
shire, 78; Massachusetts, 89; Rhode Island, 15 ; Con-
necticut, OS; -Lower Canada, nearly the whole of the
French population are organized in lodges ; Upper Ca-
nada, 84. There.are a few lodges in New Brunswick,
and a few scattered in other parts. The number of lodges
in the State: not mentioned may amount to from 50 to
100. The number of members, if taken at the minimum,
may be fairly calculated at 80,000 able-bodied n.en.
and there are not fewer than 12,000 voters in the As-
sociation. The funds, donations, extra contributions,
and a rigid economy in 1839 40 and part of 1841, hid
se much increased as to save above 300,000 dollars as a
receive. We will take another occasion to expose the
plan and policy of the Association, as also its foreign
connexions. We will trace, too, the career of its prin..
cipal upon the continent of Europe, its .connexion with
American diplomatists, and so fottb. We arc sorry that
we must observe that he members of the Association do
not exclusively belong to a party or exclusively to any
Party ; it includes governors, officers, clergymen, levy-
yers, farmers, mechanics, soldiers, in fact, every class;
and ever) body. . •

but, on the contrary, advanced eomething to the mili-
tary-finds of the patriots. Some Poles of an inferior
rank v.e-e also engage 1, but they were only birds of
passage ; till, is the middle of the summer of 1838, the
plan•weis formed- to make a determined and unanimous
effort upon the whole frontier. Rendezvous for fo-
reigners were opened in New York, Philadelphia,
Boston, &e. Tne P:dish Colonel, Von Sultz (a Fin-
lander by birth, the son of Count R----) was to di-
rect, as chief of the staff, the-operations in Upper Ca-
nada ; for Lower Canaan, the French Cana-
diens insisted in hiving only French officers, and at
last thee e appointed Monsieur Charles leg, a
French officer, ore of their brigadiers. The command
in chief of all the forces, patriots, and hunters, was to
be assume 1 by Dacter Nelson nominally, but -in reality
by a Polish or Hungarian facer of some talent and
ability. Jealousy, . disunion, and treason, or rather em-
bezzlement by some leading members, tendered the
whole proceedings farcical. Von Suitz, after having,
lion-like, fought for three days against a force ten
times his suberior, with a heroism worthy a nol&r cause,
was taken and hanged, with all his officers, .Hindeolang
surrenderell, exposed in a most forcible manlier the
infamous conduct of Coat and Nelson ; and, in spite
of 'a most noble defence, and a thrilling appeal from
the pen of General Bratish, was hanged haranguing •
the people in the most enthusiastic manner, the people
ending with the shouts of " Vive la liberte !" " Vive
Piadependence Canadien I" The writer of this knows
that both Saltz and Hindealang wete only- enthusiastic
dupes, and that persons infinitely more guilty, who fell
into the hauds of the British authorities, escaped scot-
free. - The-escapo of the political prisoners from the

Since tile failure -of the 'movement in ,It-35:9, the
Council of the llunters! came to the -decision of
waiting for oceasiees, anti •of :making as many
as they couhl, in or de: to acquire a, . better
orgMieltiote aid to be prepared
.for any event. They
rezo!ved• tot xtend and -inereese the :number of lodges,
and to organise interc.mrse ale peetteat 'connections in
EutOpe. --Pepineau and Le Vrque being' at Paris,

liberty, constitution, democracy, &e:, insteatl of ap.
pealing only to 't French !tidings," French in-
terest," " French connections," .and "-submission
to French will," and "- loyalty to Louis Phi-
lippe." He was very much blamed for being such
a bad diplomatist. Whether he was cashiered, or •
yet keeps his eLee, we rve not in a position to
ascertain. To Eagiand an Irishman and a Scotch-
man were sent, M'E— and S—g, to see what could be
done with the Chattists. We have heard a great
deal about the report of these two gentlemen, :Weft
we cannot repeat, as we have no proof in our
hands, and t h reseed only part of the truth would com-
mit some pe:sons very deepl. . It was at their sug-
gestion that subs.eririons to the Irish repeal fund were
begun in America, which, of course, will increase con-
siderably if the Council of the Hunters should approve
of that ecacrable mode of sympathising agitation. The
question has very often been asked, is it true that
Russia or any other power encouraged the Canadian
rebels and American sympath4ers. To -give a positive
answer would be rather a difficult .task ; but one thing
we know, that '50,000 dollars, 5,000 rifles, some can-
nons, and a large amount of ammunition and prev-
sions, were offered through a foreign agent, by two
foreign mercantile houses in New York or Philadel-
phia. This we know to be a fact. We 'could tell
something more on this point, but as her Msjesty's
Government did not think fit to divulge any facts, so
it is our duty not to do so.
This list year .ho lodges were uncommonly active.
Two Plenipotentiaries of the highest rani; class
were sent to Europe particularly to ertgageprVesSional
military men and officers of talent and experience. One
entered on his mission et Bremen, 'in Germany, but,
after making several arrangements, even packing up
things and frvigbt ng a ship, his funds failed ; ti at is to
say, the person to whom they were entrustedeonverted
thetn'to his own use ; and as the thing was so eau-
liuuslN or; tinged thst no evidence could be procured by
"the bloody English," the treasurer could of course
laugh- in the fine of his Excellency the Plenipotentiary.
However, the Bremen authorities began' to. siiipect
• •
something wrong, and requested his F.xcelliney to leave
Ihe-tf_trritory of the republic. He remained some time
in Alußter, in IVe:tphel,a, but, as we hear, be obtained
• few recruits and fewer frientle. The last we heard of
him was at Antwerp and Rotterdam, where lie was
seheming on paper the freight of a ship lot emigrants
to be carried to the state of Make, on eretiit of Comae..
We are often asked who is the Grand Swan.:(, Klhu
arc the Grand 11;.1:41,:s? It is reel!), impossible to state
this positiv. ; but we may bezitrd an opinion, that
the actual Chairn as of the Committee of Foreign .Al-
- of Congress (Catels Coshing) knows something
about the matter. Itt one of his last lectures at Spring-
field, Massachusetts, he states that it is the duty of every
