claims to the repayment of the advances made under
the Temporary Relief Act, and perhaps to render fur-
ther national assistance in aid of the rates. Such
expectations are utterly unfounded. No Ministry
could venture, in the present state of the public feel-
ing in this country, to bring forward either proposi-
tion. We willingly consented that our industry
should be taxed, our resources lessened, and our
comforts abridged, in order that famine and destitu-
tion should be averted from our Irish brethren. We
unhesitatingly interposed ourselves between the ap
proaching destruction and its victims. The required
outlay was advanced from the national Exchequer; an
addition to our public debt of no less than 8,000,00 a
sterling was thereby rendered necessary, and con-

siderable tightness in the money market, an increased
rate of interest for money, and reduced accommo-
dation to our merchants and traders, was the
natural result ; and yet we did not regret our interpo-
sition, or desire to withdraw ourselves from the posi-
tion we had assumed. These advances were at first
made on the faith of the whole amount being repaid
by the parties primarily responsible, by easy instal-
ments, spread over a period of ten years ; but when
the full extent of the distress became known, and the
enormous amount that would be required could be
calculated, it was felt that to a certain extent it
should be regarded as a national calamity, and that,
therefore, one moiety only should be claimed from the
parties liable, and that the residue should be a free gift
from the public purse. Two conditions were, however,
annexed to this great concession ; they were that the por-
tion that was to be demanded should be punctually
and honestly repaid, and a law should be enacted by
which the property of the country should from
thenceforward be made responsible for the sup&ort of
its poverty, and the full amount of the debt was kept
alive until these conditions should be complied with-
The Irish Poor-law of last session partially effected
the latter of these objects, but the first still remains
to be performed.
While we claim that the landewners of Ireland
should perform their part of the contract, we do not
desire that they should be unnessarily harassed in
so doing. At best there will be gnat difficulties to
be encountered in the first instance, although ulti-
mately it will be found that they will be the greatest
gainers by the change. Their own characters and
that of the people will be materially ameliorated by
the alteration; there will no longer be the careless-
ness and disregard for the condition and welfare of
the wretched occupants of the soil, which formed the
great. blot upon the escutcheon of the landed pro-
prietors. They will now know that in elevating the
people to a more fitting position—in enabling them
to eat the bread of honest industry, earned by their
daily toil, they will best promote their own interests,
and that as they must support the people under any
circumstances, it will be far better, to do so by pro-
viding them with useful employment than suffering
them unproductively to consume the resources of the
country. We are anxious that the great experiment
should-have every fair play, that it should be tested
under the most favourable auspices, that every impe-
diment should, as far as practicable, be removed.
If any doubt as to the intentions of the Government
is suffered to prevail it may have the Trost injurious
results. The people, aware of the statement made in
the Legislature by several influential members of the
Cabinet, that one moiety only should be levied, and
that by instalments, might be led to suppose that a
breach of faith was intended if a rate was struck
for the entire amount, and might have recourse to
illegal demonstrations, and to acts of violence
in order to intimidate the authorities, and to induce
them to refrain, and any subsequent indulgence
would inevitably be ascribed to that intimidation,
whatever might have been intended ab initio. It is
far better to make no claim that it is not intended
rigidly and effectually to enforce; above all, it is
necessary that no colour or shadow of right should
be on the side of the opponents of the demand. No
rate should be struck that would not be strictly
recovered by every means known to the law,
even to the sale of the property of the defaulters in
the lands, if so extreme a course should be rendered
necessary. The amount of the instalment of the ad-
vances, calculated according to the rule laid down by
the Chancellor of the Exchequer, should only be
demanded by the Commissioners, and it may be pru-
dent to consider whether even that should not be
postponed for a brief period, until the new law is fully
brought into operation. By such a course the most
mischievous results may be avoided. A carefully
considered reply by the Commissioners to the resolu-
tions of the poor-law guardians of the Fermoy Union,
which we recently noticed, and the proposition
tberein contained, of paling the moiety of the ad-
vances by instalments, is looked for every day, and
we sincerely hope that it may be of such a character
as to satisfy the rate- payers of the district, and to
avoid a collision that must be productive of the most
njurious consequences.

We refer our readers to an article which *ears
in another column under the title of The French
Post and the Weekly Dispatch, for a small sample of
that system (for it has long since been reduced to a
system) of " enormous lying," by which the interests
of that, which on the lucus a non lucendo principle
was, in 1830, facetiously termed " the best of re-
publics," are sought to be upheld in France. Some
time since the Constitutionnel brought a series of
charges against the French Post-office authorities,
accusing them of plundering money-letters, of open-
ing, examining, and detaining correspondence, and
of habitually detaining, or as we should say in plain
English, stealing certain English and Belgian news-
papers. M. DEJEAN, the official organ of the French
Post- office, leaving untouched tk e grave charges of
corruption, of plundering money-letters, &c., seizes
on the charge of stealing newspapers, as the only one
against which he was called upon to make any
defence ; and, in a letter to the proprietor of the
Constitutionnel, says—
" It is true, that for some years the Government has
ordered the Custom-house and Post-office authorities to
seize two little English newspapers, Punch and the
Weekly Dispatch. In doing so, the Government was
not afraid of injuring the important transactions of
merchants and bankers, as the Constitutionnel supposes,
by suppressing those two journals, which contain no-
thing but caricatures or humorous articles ; the
bankers and merchants of London would not suffer on
their side by the suppression of Figaro and Chiravari."
In the first place the confession involved in this
admission, that the circulation of Punch and the
Weekly Dispatch in the French territories would be
dangerous to the French Government, betokens a
consciousness of something " rotten in the state of
Denmark"—a consciousness so profound as to be
more damaging to the stability of the Government
making the confession, than could any series of
articles that could be published in any journal. This
prohibition is the more absurd, because it cannot pos-
sibly be carried into effect; for notwithstanding all the
vigilance of the French authorites, Punch raises more
laughs at the expense of Louis PHILIPPE in France
than he does in England; and the fearless and honest
advocacy of Liberal opinions, the sound argu-
ments by which that advocacy is supported,
and the energetic language in which those
arguments are clothed in the Weekly Dispatch,
produce to the full as great an effect in France as
they do in England. We are the more surprised at
the wilful falsehood in which the French authorities
have chosen to indulge in speaking of the Dispatch,
as a journal which contains nothing but caricatures
or humourous articles, because it is so transparent
that it was impossible it could pass undiscovered.
" These lies are like the father that begot them,
Gross as a mountain, open palpable."
It is as well known in France as it is in England
that the Weekly Dispatch is, to use the words of the
National, a " most intelligent weekly newspaper,
thatnd it
exhibits printing, at
"thethe
mlort erset
circulatinga largely amongst the English people,
mfiagrkwabele6s;
aogoaocictyopiinesit;'s'
criticisms on the manufacturing and commercial
operations of England, and that, as the Government
intimately
acquainted Louis PAILIPPE knows full well, it is
din
acquainted with continental proceedings,
commenting on them exhibits the energy,an the
eloquence, the thorough. bred English honesty of a
CHATHAM united to the cutting sarcasm of a
VOLTAIRE." Was it less intimately acquainted
with continental matters—did it comment on them
is a less honest spirit, the Dispatch would be probably
free of the French Post-office, and though less fre-
quently read by the French Ministers, would be more
often quoted by the French Ministerial journals.
Or, perhaps, M. DusArT, aping his betters, considers

honesty a joke, consistency a joke, hatred to
corruption a joke, the advocacy of Liberal principles
a joke—in which case he may consider that the
honest, consistent, corruption• hating, liberal Dis-
patch is a journal of jokes ; but then the profit de-
rived from the enormous circulation—that his betters
would, we will answer for it, consider no joke at all,
but a serious and much-to-be-coveted reality. So
M. DEJEAN, you have, after all, committed a mis-
take, and have not imitated your masters quite so
closely as you desired.

At the sitting of the Swiss Diet on the 30th ult.
the President read the letter from the Government of
Lucerne, the substance of which has already been
given. It was referred to the Committee appointed
on July 30. The question on the order of the day
was the refusal of Lieutenant-Colonel ZIEGLER, of
Zurich, to attend as a federal Colonel at the Federal
Council of War, on the ground that its President, M.
OCSHENBEIN, had in 1845 been struck off the federal
staff for having taken part in a rupture of the public
peace. In consequence of this deClaration, the Fede-
ral Council had in conformity with its rules re-
placed him pro tempore by another, but as Colo-
nel ZIEGLER continued to absent himself, the De-
puty for Glaris proposed at one of the preced-
ing sittings that the Colonel should be sum-
moned to perform his duty as a member of the
Federal Council of War, and in case of his
continued refusal, that he should be considered as
having resigned. This motion on being put gave rise
to three different opinions. One, that it was not a
subject-matter for the consideration of the Diet—
which was supported by eight cantons and a half—the
second, for the dismissal of Colonel ZIEGLER, in favour
of which three cantons only voted—and the third, that
Colonel ZIEGLER should be desired by the Diet to
attend the sittings of the Federal Council of War, and
in case of his refusal, that his place should be declared
vacant. This motion was supported by thirteen can-
tons and a half, and consequently was carried. After
this the Diet proceeded to the election of a Secretary
to the Federal Council of War, in the room of M.
LETTER, who had resigned in consequence of his ob-
jection to its having for its President the chief of the
Free Corps. Upon the ballot, M. Vox ARS, of So-
leure, the Liberal candidate, had thirteen votes, and
was elected, against M. GERIVER, the Conservative
candidate, who had only six votes.

A letter from Rome of the 25th ult. has the follow-
ing:—" General BENTIVOGLIO, an old soldier of the
empire, Colonels BINI and BOCCANERA, and other
distinguished officers, with Major PROVINCIAL' of the
Engineers, who also gained his experience under the
empire, left here yesterday to decide upon the ground
for the establishment of the camp. It is believed that
they will fix upon the Catolica as the strongest posi-
tion from which to repel an invasion. The POPE de-
sired to see these officers before their departure, and
they went to his HOLINESS, who took leave of them
s ith these sublime words—' Gentlemen! The sword
is drawn, and must not be returned to the scabbard
v‘ithout disputing foot by foot the ground which be-
longs to us, and recovering that which has been lost.
I feel assured that my brave soldiers will justify the
confidence placed in them by me and the State.' I
leave you to imagine the emotion which these noble
words have produced in Rome, through which they
have spread like a flash of lightning."
A Piedmontese journal announces that the Papal
Government has established two military posts at
Forte Urbano and Malalbergo, to intercept commu-
nication between Ferrara, Bologna, and Ravenna.
The Austrians also have established an advanced post
six miles from Ferrara, and another at some distance
from Comacchio. The same journal states that the
number of muskets which Captain LOPEZ iS commis-
sioned to purchase in France is 12,000.

The Lucca paper of the 27th ult. contains a decree
establishing a corps of Royal Dragoons in lieu of the
corps of Carabineers, who had by their arbitrary
conduct highly offended the population. It also pub-
lishes the first order of the day of Lieutenant-Colonel
GuINIGI, who declares that the military are never to
use their arms except when violence is offered to
them, and when resistance is such as is only to be
overcome by the use of weapons.
The Grand Duke of TUSCANY has issued two de-
crees, both dated August 24, by which the Supreme
Chamber of Judicature, called the Consulta, is in-
vested with new powers, and organised on a different
footing. It is composed of ten ordinary and nine
extraordinary membets, comprising the Presidents of
, the Courts of Justice, the Governors of Pisa, Leg-

horn, and Siena, and other functionaries, besides the
Marquis Comm, RIDOLFI, and the Marquis Gino
CAPPOM, two individuals of ultra-liberal opinions.
The principal attributions of the new Consulta Reale
di Stato consist in the discussion of new laws and
regulations, maxims of government of general ap-
plication, and financial affairs; but it can neither
propose measures or receive petitions. By another
decree, a department of Justice and Grace is created
having equal prerogatives with the other depart•'
ments of State, Finance, and War. It is invested
with the supreme judicial powers formerly belonging
to the Consulta, the superintendence of the Courts of
justice, and the decision of appeals from the resolu-
tions of the higher police department. The latter
offers a guarantee against the hitherto arbitrary and
uncontrolled power of the police, and both decrees

have a decided liberal tendency.
The Italia of the 28th ult. contains a decree of the
Grand Duke of TUSCANY of the 26th, in virtue o
which the new Consulta is directed to take under its
consideration at its first sittings the petitions presented
in favour of the establishment of a civic guard. This
decree, besides its principal object, has also the effect
of tacitly acknowledging the right of petition, a
right hitherto refused in the collective form. The
approval of the Civic Guard by the Consulta is con-
sidered certain. Thirty thousand Piedmontese troops
are said to be stationed along the frontier of Lom-
bardy, and part of the Austrian troops occupying the
left side of the Po have been suddenly recalled to
guard the frontier. At Pisa and Florence numerous
popular demonstrations had taken place in favour of
the establishment of a Civic Guard. The refugee
MINARDI has been given up to the Papal authorities.
A rumour was current on the 26th, at Pisa, that the
Austrians and Papal troops had begun hostilities, and
the former had been worsted. At this news crowds
paraded the streets amid loud cries of, " Long live
Pius IX., LEOFOLD 11., the League of Italian
Princes, the Consulta, the Line, and the Civic
Guard !"

Letters from Lisbot.l of the 29th ult. announce the
arrival of COSTA CABRAL in the city on the 27th
from Cadiz.

Sir CHARLES NAPIER'S Squadron had arrived in
the Tagus.

We have received the Paris papers of Friday and
Saturday.
The Presse makes the important announcement of
the failure of the attempt of NARVAEZ to form a
Ministry, and, of course, attributes his failure to
English intrigue, instead of attributing it to its true
cause—the just indignation of a young and high-
spirited woman, whose confidence he had betrayed,
by re-opening negotiations with Don FRANCISCO,
after the heartless insult offered by that miserable
creature to the unfortunate lady who had been in-
veigled into a marriage with him under false pre-
tences. The Presse says—

"We receive grave news from Madrid. After all
kinds of efforts and attempts, General Narvaez had,
on the 30th, renounced the task of forming a new
Ministry. He had failed, in presence of the will
of the Queen, the opposition of M. Salamanca,
and, above all, the indefatigable intrigues of Mr.
Bulwer. The representative of England had moved
heaven and earth, and brought into play all
his most powerful machinery. The Queen, aban-
doned to her own suggestions, and reflecting
calmly on her personal position, as well as that
of Spain, had very naturally received General
Narvaez, as the man marked out, by his influence,' his
character, and his services, to re-establish order in public
affairs, to restore calm in men's minds, and to bring
back to the throne the consideration and influence which
it appeared on the point of losing altogether. It was
then that Mr. Bulwer, particularly menaced by these
views, proceeded to the palace, where he did not fail to
soon r.-assume that fatal influence which he has known
how to obtain, by means of which English diplomatic
agents have the secret. He terrified the Queen with the
projects of General Narvaez, whom he represented as
the head of a conspiracy got up in Paris against the
royal authority; he pledged himself to get the divorce
pronounced, and to obtain for the Queen the hand of
one of the sons of the Queen of Portugal, of whom she
should be simply the betrothed until such time as he
should be of au she
to be married. Meanwhile she

should enjoy the plenitude of her authority and liberty,
and General Serrano should be named Major-Domo-
Mayor and Captain-General of Madrid. These pros-
pects, and the commentaries with !which Mr. Bulwer
accompanied them, completely changed the resolutions
ot the Queen, so that she then rejected the projects of
General Narvaez with the same eagerness as she had
at first entertained them."
As may be naturally supposed, the rage of the
conspirators in the rue de Coureelles is unbounded.
So insensate has it become, that their organ, the
Presse, suffering its rage to overcome its cunning, is
imprudent enough to indulge in the folloWing :-
" We still hope that the Queen, better advised, will
open her eyes, and not obstinately persist in a system of
conduct which has already uroduced such sad conse
quences, and which may produce still worse ones. How-
ever that may be, at the point at which things are at
present, there is no means of retreating, and the status
quo is impossible. The crisis can no longer be endured
-it must have a termination, and that termination must
be prompt. It may be still regular, calm, and without
violent shocks, but it will perhaps have another character
if the intriguants and stock-jobbers who surround the
Queen should persist, notwithstanding the general repro-
bation of which they are the object, in using their influence
for the exclusive profit of Mr. Bulwer, whose instruments
they are. All kinds of public business appear suspended ;
the Administration is struck with paralysis, and public opi-
nion with tupor ; the army quivers with impatience ;
all honest insn lament, are indignant, and blush-and
all that because M. Salamanca will not give up his port-
folio-because General Serrano carries to madness the
fatuity of his pretensions-and because Mr. Bulwer
makes use of the jobbing of the one and the folly of the
other to arrive at his object, which is the destruction of
our influence, and the ruin of the work which we have
accomplished by the Spanish marriages. Such a situa-
tion is too grave to last-all the parties have arrived at
their farthest limits; another step in the same direction,
and extreme resolutions must be had recourse to. The
recent state of things must terminate either in a return to
legal and constitutional influences or to an appeal to force
-there is no middle course. If by chance the final
change shall not he effected by pacific means, the whole
of Europe shall know on whom must fall the responsibility
of the misfortunes caused by a violent shock. The Mo-
derado party, since its removal from power, has given
proof of a reserve which all the other parties have
thrown aside, and has exhibited a rare patience. With
an incontestable majority in the two Chambers, and the
strongest support from the country, it has several times
beheld the Progressists on the point of recovering power
by intrigue ; and it merely confined itself to demanding
to have the Cortes summoned, in order to judge between
it and its adversaries. At present that all the men of
colisideration6ll the hell& of the principal administra-
tions, all the leaders of the army turn towards the
Maderadcs as their saviours-at present that public
opinion, wearied out, frightened, and indignant naturally
brings them back to power, they are kept from it by
desperate intrigues. This struggle between public
opinion, manifested in so marked a manner, and scan-
dalous influences not daring to avow themselves, must
end in the events which we have lately announced and
precipitate their consequences. It is therefore more than
ever import tnt not to lose sight of what is about to take
place at Madrid."
We are glad to find the Presse making this open
avowal, as it will take away from the Afrancesado
rebellion now brewing in Spain all appearance of a
national movement. The appeal to force has been re-
solved on in France to serve French purposes, and
the command to rebel is issued from Paris.
The following from the National, whose Madrid
correspondent is generally exceedingly well informed
on Spanish affairs, will give our readers an idea of
the sentiments with which NA.RVAEZ is regarded by
the Spanish people :-
" Our readers cannot imagine the impression caused at
Madrid by the return of Narvaez. Even the Moderado
journals only reply feebly to the cry of horror which all
Spain uttered at the approach of this bloody dictator.
The people recalled to mind all that he did in the disastrous
times during which he directed the Government; proscrip-
tions, confiscations, bloody executions, disdain of the laws,
ferocious wantof intelligence-such are the characteristics
of the hero of Ardcz. It is misfortune for Spain that he
should have been recalled; but what is a misfortune for
France is that this execrated name appears under the
auspices of our country. Yes, it is repeated everywhere
at Madrid. Narvaea is the representative of the French
Government; he has received the order to prepare the
overthrow ot the Queen; he desires to substitute the
Duchess de Montpensier for Isabella. He will hesitate
at no means to succeed; he will, it is said, mow down
heads, govern by the sword, strike down all that resists
him. Paris has sent us not a Minister, but an execu-
tioner.' We give only a weak description of the com-
plaints and accusations which are made. These com-
plaints are exaggerated, these accusations are excessive,
we grant that; but what is evident is, that the present
policy has engendered this violent antipathy-that un-
popularity, a furious unpopularity, accompanies every-
thing connected with the French name. And yet what
was it intended to do by these marriages so much vaunted?
To draw closer the two countries, obtain the friendship
of Spain. strengthen the ties which unite us to the Pe-
ninsula, parody Louis XIV.; in short, by making the
granite of the Pyrenees bow before the dynasty of
Orleans."
The Madrid mail of the 30th had not arrived in
Paris at the hour of post, and it was rumoured that
NAUYAEZ had already taken steps to carry out the
above prophecy of the Presse, and to coerce his SOVE-
REIGN, after having betrayed his country.
The Constitutionnel has the following reply to the
observations of the Debats on the affairs of Italy :-
" There is danger, we are told, of the ardent spirit of
the Italians being excited beyond all bounds; that dis-
turbances may break out, and that his Holiness may be
induced to go further than he intended, and thus com-
promise Italy by the movement he himself has com-
menced. We know that moderation is necessary; we
hope that the Italians will learn to repress their impa-
tience; that they will not suffer themselves to be misled
by the suggestions of the agents of their enemies; that
they. will not, by an excess of .ardour, injure the sacred
cause they wish to support. But if such fears are
to arrest the action of bold minds and gene-
rous hearts, like that of the Holy Father,
can ever any good be done in this world?
Our impotent tremblers, our Government, paralysed by
a species of premature decrepitude, dare not do,
unuertake, or even wish to do anything. Every pro-
gressive step proposed to it, however moderate it may
be, appears to it as leading to the brink of an abyss.
The Jousnal des Debuts sees nothing but the horrors of
civil war and anarchy behind the propositions of M. de
Remusat and M. Duvergier de Hauranne. To sleep

will come from herself alone and the Holy Father. The
concurrence of the Pope himself in the development of
liberal ideas-the birth of the eighteenth century and
the French revolution-is a grand moral event. Pope
Pius IX. is inclined towards the liberty of the press -
that is to say, towards freedom of inquiry ; he has
become a partisan of the National Guard-that is to say,
the armed independence of nations, like Lafayette.
Thus may be seen how far tolerance, that predominant
idea of Voltaire, derives strength from this coalition
between the Pope and liberty. Protestant England
raises her applauding voice at each resolution of the
chief of Catholicism. If by any possibility Pius IX.
could go to London, he would be borne along in
people and Government of Great Britainish

The Presse says-" The Council of Regency of the
Bank of France has: rejected the proposition to at
once lower the rate of discount. It is probable, how-
ever, that this measure will take place before long, as
it was unanimously admitted during the discussion
that the general situation was much improved, though
not as yet sufficiently so as to allow the reduction to
be voted."
The Union Monarchique, in commenting on the
same subject, says that M. GUIZOT has, by the
Spanish marriages, so isolated France that she has no
longer a voice in the affairs of Europe; and even in
religious matters, suffers a Protestant State to be-
come the champion of toleration in every part of
the globe.

at Pembroke early in the present week. It is expected
that their Lordships will extend their official progress to
the Core of Cork.
Mr. Trend', Secretary of the Treasury, after a

weeks.
LICENSING DAY FOR THE CITY OF LONDON.—
The juitices acting for the City of London have ap-
pointed Saturday, the 18th instant, to hold a petty ses-
sion at Guildhall, to grant licenses to all persons about
to keep inns, taverns, or alehouses, or public billiard or
bagatelle rooms, within the City of Loudon, or the
Liberties thereof.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS•

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
In the Cotton Market at Liverpool, on Saturday, the
sales were 3,000 bales, at previous rates. Shares were
much the same.
The news come to hand by the various ship arrivals
is not generally of importance ; and as respects the in •
telligence from the West Indies, of which the items ap-
pear in another column, it may be observed that it
is not looked uponias satisfactory concerning the weather
in Jamaica as well as in other of the colonies, the want
of moisture being most sensibly felt. The August
holidays were generally passing off without any par-
ticular revelry or excess. A shock of earthquake had
been felt in the parish of Hanover, Jamaica, and seve-
ral acres of land had sunk and been lost in consequence,
to the great alarm of the inhabitants.
The anticipated confirmation of the intelligence that
Mexico was captured, has not come to hand, and the an-
nouncement consequently, was premature, although the
American forces were at Puebla, and were not likely to
be met by Santa Anna in the open field, a vigorous de-
fence of the capital being the proposed plan.
The Mexicans in privateering make some curious mis-
takes. An armed brig attacked the Violin while en-
deavouring to save a portion of the effects on board the
Tweed, at the time of her being wrecked. The Violin,
however, recovered some of the quicksilver, and out-
sailed her pursuer.
The 4th of the month is considered to have gone off
remarkably well, considering, no failure of importance
having resulted, and the money market is kept a little
easy by the comparative liberality of the Bank of
England.
The public securities have been rather fluctuating this
morning, although they appear to be firmer now than
upon the commencement of business. Consols have
realised 871 to 871 for transfer to-morrow,
