The Carlists still continue in great force in Cata-
A letter of the 10th from the Catalonian

frontier says—

" Notwithstanding the presence of the Captain-
General in Vich, the Carlists have not abandoned
that province, and seem little intimidated by his im-
posing preparations against them. On the sth the
Cabecilia Bore surprised and carried off 600 rations
of bread, which were being conveyed from Vich for
the use of the little garrison of Taradel. I learn
that on the ad instant, at eight o'clock in the
morning, a deplorable accident occurred upon
the Ebro, near Gandesa. A boat, contain-
ing thirty-six soldiers and a captain of the Regiment
of Galicia, was upset whilst crossing the river to
attack some Carlists, and twenty-one out of the
thirty-six met with a watery grave. The Carlists
had the barbarity to fire upon these unfortunates
whilst they were struggling in the stream. The pay
of the Carlists is six reels a day for privates, eight
for lieutenants, and twelve for captains. Castells has
been named Commandant-in Chief of Catalonia ;
Vitellia, Grau, Tristany, and Mololl, colonels ;
Ayuso and Mersa], commandants of cavalry ; Bo-
quica, Sendros, Bore, and Estarlus, commandants of
infantry. On the 7th General Concha marched from
Vilandran towards the French frontier."

We have received the Paris papers of Friday and
Saturday.
On Saturday afternoon a telegraphic dispatch was
received from Madrid, which says, " A complete re-
conciliation has taken place between the ICING and
QUEEN. The KING goes to live in the Palace with
the QUEEN. There is every likelihood that the re-
conciliation will be a lasting one."
According to an account from St. Amans, dated
the 1 1 th, Marshal SOULT has recovered from his in-
disposition, and is able to take his usual exercise.
The Journal des Debats of Friday gives the follow-
ing official defence of the conduct of the French
Government in selling arms to the Sonderbund

" The rules observed in most of the states of
Europe, and particularly in France, respecting the
sales of arms are well known. The State has always
in its arsenals a certain quantity of arms which have
been thrown out of use, destined to be sokl, and there
is in the budget an article on this point. The State
sells to whoever will purchase, unless there be a
motive for refusing to do so. The refusal, however,
is the exception ; the rule is to sell to anybody. The
French Government has frequently sold arms to
foreign Governments, and in particular to divers
Swiss cantons. I believe there was recently a sale to
the canton of Vaud. A few days ago only it sold
10,000 muskets to the Pope, and nearly as many to
the towns of Ancona and Bologna. Why should the
French Government refuse to the state of Friburg
what it grants to all friendly states ? Is it at war
with that canton ? Has it any ground of complaint
against Friburg ? That canton, and all the cantons
of the League, would therefore have a right to regard
as an unfriendly proceeding, if not as an act of hos-
tility, a refusal to sell arms to them. In a word, the
conduct of the French Government in this affair is
, and friendly to Fri-
burg,regarded as improper by the
conformableand can to
onlyallpbreecedents
Radicals. An opposite line of conduct would have
had all the character of declared hostility to the
Sonderbund.'
On this the National of Saturday remarks :
" Our Ministers resemble certain folk of bad repu-
tation, indifferently indignant or bullying, as the case
may be, who protest energetically their innocence,
and when no positive proof exists against them swear
on their consciences as Christians, that they are very
honest people, but calumniated. When, however, the
no
brave
displaythe of indignation is any
factloner i s
possible,evid t atheynd
matter out, show im-
pudence and effrontery, and take pride in their tnis -
doings. M. Guisot has decided to play this last part
in the affair of the arms dispatched to Switzerland,
not being able to play any other. As long as he
could entertain any hope that the articles sent from
the arsenal of Besan9on would arrive safe, he allowed
all the demands for explanations to pass without
reply ; but now that the articles have been seized, and
that their origin is officially stated, he disdains any
excuse, avows openly his complicity with the insur-
gents of the Sonderbund, and takes pride in his
shameful intrigues with the Jesuits of Friburg."
The National then proceeds to argue that the con-
duct of the French Government is dishonest and il-
legal, and, in the course of its observations, explains
how it came to pass that M. GuizoT gave a tardy
consent to the sale of arms to the PorE. It thus
continues :

" The Government journal adduces only a fact and
an insinuation in support of the right which M.
taot at
the
ee
Pope,
days a backnd n a
allo.l,yoooas mmuasokye t st
ow
theere
Guizot arrogates tc himself; it refers to the circum-
satlasoncseoldth
towns of Ancona and Bologna; it insinuates that
Friburg is a sovereign canton, and names it a State,
with a capital letter. The sale to the Pope is an
awkward thing to refer to. For, in the first place,
where is the analogy? It is with the Roman Go-
vernment that otrr Ministry treated, and not with a
party ofinsurgents. These arms were destined to
serveve not i▪ n a civil war, but in a national one. Next,
is it true that in this circumstance M. Guizot showed
more readiness than he exhibited towards the Sonder-
bund ? If we are to place credit on information, which
we. belivve to be certain the Italian envoys had all the
difficulty i▪ n the world in obtaining the Minister's con-
sent to permit the 20 000 muskets to depart. All
their demands were fruitless, until the application
Rome, for the mere
from. Friburg Arrived. It was then that M. Guizot
the world, andserving ari s to depart
asaprecedent.for
A. s to the sovereign rights
yielded to their solicitations, with the best grace in
of Friburg,. we shall
simply confine ourselves to reminding the Minister
permitted
purpose theo f
of Foreign Affairs of a fact which belongs to history.
When Prince Louis inhabited Switzerland, our Go-
vernment demanded his extradition. The canton
which had harboured him replied by a refusal, which
it defended on the score of its sovereignty; Prince
Louis, it said, had the title of citizen there, and had
a right to the protection of the state which had
adopted him. Did the Cabinet of the Tuileries
remain satisfied with that reply ? By no means ; it
rendered the whole confederation responsible for this
conduct, .and called on the central power to use its
federal rights. Thus our Government has been in
Switzerland by turns, according to the interest of the
moment, at one time in favour of the federal sove-
reignty, and at another of the cantonal one.
The. Constitutionnoi, in the following admirably
written argument, shivers to atoms the miserable
sophistries which M. GUIZOT has propounded in the
Ministerial journal. It says--
" The Ministry admits that it has sold to the can-
ton of:Friburg, and the other cantons of the Sonder-
bund, 'arms belonging to the State ; i▪ t
isdeclares also
that they have been paid for. But itnot arms
merely, such as muskets, sabres, or howitzers, that
the GOvernment has disposed of to Fri▪ burg, it is also
ammunition, balls, grape, harness, and other stores.
The Ministers of Foreign Affairs and of War must
give a detailed account of all this strange operation,

which does not merely apply to condemned arms, but 1
to a whole materiel of civil war. According to the
Ministerial note, one would imagine at first that the
question was one without importance. The State
has more arms than it wants, and it sells them to the
first corner—it is, in fact, a mere matter of com-
merce, and the price has already been paid down.
A fine trade truly our Government is engaged in !
Two parties are ready to cut each other's throat—
they want arms, and the Ministry boasts of fur-
nishing a supply to either party indistinctly. Civil
war will only be more prompt to burst forth,
and blood will flow in a copious stream. What
matter! Our Ministers wash their hands of the
affair ; they have been paid ; the sum received will
figure in the budget; the operation is an excellent
one. If this first explanation was the true one, it
would be sufficient to call down on our Government
the reprobation of all civilised nations ! What ! a
neighbouring nation in alliance with France is
divided into two parties, on the point of commencing
hostilities and you make yourselves dealers in arms
to spy culate on that fratricide war ! You dishonour
your country to such a point I You basely intervene
on both sides at the same time, as if to multiply the
blows, in order to destroy the two parties, one by
the other ;in other words, the nation itself ! You
make no distinction on any side of either right, or
injustice, or liberty, or counter-revolution, or
French interest, or interest opposed to France ; you
sell arms to any cause, and to every one, and you
are then astonished to have excited every-
where indignation and contempt! But this first
explanation is not sufficient, the mask is soon
raised, and it is impudently declared that, after all, a
Government, amongst the parties which divide a neigh-
bouring state, is not bound to dissemble its prefer-
ences. The French Government, therefore, prefers,
in Switzerland, the party of the Sonderbund, and
sells it arms that it may be able to gain the advan-
tage over its adversaries ; and then the question is
asked by what right the Swiss Diet can regard as
an act of hostility this acknowledged intervention In
favour of those who resist it 3 decrees ? There is in
all this an insolent denial of all the principles of the
right of nations, which is carried to the verge of ex-
travagance. Switzerland, in her foreign relations,
according to all the articles of her constitution, is re-
presented by the Diet alone : it is the Diet which de-
clares war and peace, which concludes treaties of
commerce or alliance, which appoints or recalls diplo-
matic agents; the cantons cannot even treat with
foreign Governments for simple military capitulations,
for matters relating to customs' duties or police,
without submitting these conventions to the Diet.
But the Diet has positively forbidden, as much as in
it lay, all succour of arms to the Sonderbund; and
these patriots who intercept the convoys, to the great
di, pleasure of the Journal des Debats, do nothing else
than obey the orders of the legitimate authority of
their country. However the case may be, the French
Government cannot, particularly in a matter which is
so nearly connected with a question of civil war,
enter into negotiation in Switzerland with any other
power than the Diet. On that point there is neither
any distinction nor any subtlety possible, and all the
preferences in the world cannot have anything to do
with the matter. If we are at peace with Switzer-
land there is no other government for us in that coun-
try but the Diet ; with it we must treat, or abstain
altogether. To act otherwise, to sell for instance
arms `.to the cantons acting against the resolu-
tions of the Diet, is to depart from a state
of neutrality without previous notice—is to in-
tervene against a Government with which we
are at peace—is to violate outrageously the
law of nations. Common sense, on this point,
does not admit of any doubt, of anything equivocal.
What would the Congress of the United States think,
if Virginia and South Carolina, in revolt against its
decisions, should obtain from a foreign Government
assistance in arms and ammunition ? The Congress
would evidently consider such an aid afforded to re-
volt as a declaration of war. What would the French
Government think, if the city of Lyons, for instance,
happening to revolt, as it did a dozen years back,
should receive from the Federal Diet of Switzerland
a supply of arms and ammunition under the fine
pretext that a Government, in the midst of the
parties which tear asunder a neighbouring state, is
not bound to conceal its preferences.' According to
that principle, why should not Austria and Russia
furnish cannon and grape to La Vendee, if on a
change of reign, the party which in France has its
preference should happen, which God forbid ! to take
up arms ? In all this we are bound to declare that
there is a veritable betrayal of the Liberal cause, and
of the cause of our country."
The Moniteur publishes two royal ordonnances,
dated the 12th inst., continuing until the 31st
January next the royal ordonnances of the 12th and
29th January and 27th July last, prohibiting the ex-
portation of pulse, potatoes, grits, and fecula of every
kind, and chestnuts and their flour, and also the
ordonnance of the 27th July, relating to the ex-
portation of corn and flour, maize, and buckwheat.

The Courrier Francais says—
"lt is announced that negotiations have been
opened between the Governments of France and
England, in order to arrive at an arrangement for
the modification of the treaty, signed by the Duke
de Broglie, for the suppression of the slave trade on
the western coast of Africa. The modification
sought, is the diminution of the number of the vessels
of the two squadrons, whose crews are decimated
by sickness; and at the same time the adoption of
efficacious and direct measures against the sovereigns
of the coast of Africa, who are known for openly
carrying on the trade."

Queen CHRISTINA passed through Bordeaux on the
11th, on her way to Madrid.
It has been determined to establish a French Consul
at Tauris in Persia. Two Vice-Consuls are also to
be established in Persia, one at Chiraz, the other at
Bender Bouchir, a port on the Persian Gulf, fre-
quented by European vessels.
The revenue returns published in the Monitehr of
Friday show a deficiency of 2,493,000 f. in the receipts
of the nine months of 1847, as compared with the
corresponding period of the year preceding. On this
subject the Journal des DBats observes—
" This result will surprise many persons. It was
expected, and everybody believed, in fact, that a year
marked as this has been by a real scarcity would be
remarkable in the history of our budgets by a consi-
derable diminution of revenue. At the commence-
ment of the year, during the discussion upon the ad-
dress, it was estimated at not less than 50,000,000 f.,
and this opinion was founded on an observation well
calculated to make an impression on the Chamber.
France, it was said, must pay for the 120,000,000
of hectolitres of wheat which she consumes an-
nually 101. a hectolitre dearer than during an or-
dinary year, which will make a difference of
1,200,000,000 f. (48,000,0001. sterling). A nation
which is obliged to pay so large an additional sum for
its bread must necessarily reduce its expenditure on
other articles of consumption. There was, perhaps,
some exaggeration in that calculation, and M. Lacave
Laplagne at that period Minister of Finance, so told
the Chamber. But, the price of bread having risen
considerably in the beginning of the year, the calcu-
lation which appeared excessive in the winter was
found during the spring to be accurate. The receipts
during the first quarter of the year and the middle of
the second justified the alarming predictions pre-
viously made. The first six months of the present
year present a diminution of revenue, as compared
with the corresponding period of the year 1846, of
5,834,000 f. (233,0001, sterling). The contrary took
place in England, where the revenue during that
period showed a slight increase over the corresponding
period of 1846. But the change in the third quarter has
been most favourable to us; whilst the last three months
,shows in England an enormous deficit of 38,000,000 f., as
compared with the corresponding period of 1846, it
presents in France an unexpected increase of
3,341,000 f. By deducting that sum from
5,834,000 f., the diminution in the revenue during
the first six months, we find a falling off on the nine
months of 2,493,000 f. This result demonstrates, first,
that the crisis under w hich England is suffering
is much more severe than that which we experience;
and, secondly, that although the scarcity which Pro-
vidence inflicted on us, in common with the rest of
Europe, was a severe calamity, we are sufficiently
strong and vigorous to endure it without bending.
We shall now examine the different items of which
the revenue is composed, and the increase and dimi-
nution of duty on those articles. The principal
articles which have produced an increase are
fees on registering deeds and mortgages, which
produced an increase of 6,382,000 f. ; and the
stamp duties, 705,000 f. These duties rise and fall
in proportion to the prosperity or distress of the
country ; but the same observation does not apply to
the following articles :—Sugar from the French co-
lonies, which produced an increased duty of
3,488,0001.; home-made sugar, 4,687,0001.; salt,
2,076,000 f.; tobacco, 757,000 f. The diminution is
chiefly observable in corn, which amounts to
5,461,000 f. The diminution of the Customs' duties
on various merchandise amounted to 9,079,000 f. ;
foreign sugar, 1,730,000 f. ; sundries, 1,187,000 f. A
diminution is to be remarked on postage of letters to
the amount of 506,000 f. And, finally, spirituous
liquors present a diminution of 2,524,000 f. Such an
item might have a certain importance if we did not
observe that the consumption of strong liquors was
more than usually great during the year 1846. In
the year 1845 the revenue derived from spirituous
liquors amounted to 74,387,0001. ; and in 1846 to
75,224,000 E This was an increase of 1,000,000 f.
To conclude, the receipts of the revenue during the
present year will, we doubt not, equal those of the
year 1846:'
It was rumoured in Paris on Saturday that hos-
tilities had commenced in Switzerland, and that

heavy firing had been heard in the direction of Ge-
neva on the Thursday preceding.
The Paris Bourse on Saturday offered the most
surprising spectacle ever witnessed in that establish-
ment—a rise of prices in the face of a loan and of the
calamitous condition of the London money. market.
That this end was attained by " parties who would
not be denied" was obvious. Every offer of a sale
was accepted, and it was understood further that the
stock sold would be exacted. This anomaly was
accounted for by rumours elsewhere described,
namely, of an understanding between the Minister
and the capitalists who propose bidding for the loan.

BANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD.)

DERBY SWEEPS.-IN RE BENNET AND REEVE.

These bankrupts, who had carried on business in
the Borough-road as licensed victuallers, came up to
pass their last examination.
Mr. Graham, the official assignee, said that there
was an account of losses on different sporting sweep-
stakes drawn at the bankrupts' house amounting to
4501., and he thought the bankrupts ought to give a
detailed account.

Mr. LAWRENCE, for the bankrupts, said they had
rendered the best account they possibly I
could, and it
would be seen that their deficiency on this account
was only 1901., and there was upwards of 4501. loss
by persons not paying up their instalments, and some
other chances had been taken up to complete the
lists, but had turned out blanks. The bankrupts
were willing and anxious to give every information,
but it was rather a difficult thing to do to name the
parties who had failed in payment, and there was a
delicacy in the matter of disclosing names.
The Learned COMMISSIONER said that could not be
helped.
Mr. LAWRENCE said that the bankrupts could
furnish a further account if required, pointing out the
different shares in which the amounts had
not been paid ; but when the bankrupts
had put down the names at the request
of other parties, who might yet come for-
ward and pay. As far as the bankrupts were con-
cerned, they were merely treasurers or stakeholders,
and would have been paid five per cent. on the
amounts received, but by the defaults made, instead
of there being a profit there had been a loss, as they
had been obliged to debit themselves the same as if
the had received the money.
His HoNouß said that such an account ought to be
rendered, and asked Mr. Graham if he had any other
objection ?
Mr. GRAHAM said he had not; he did not for a
moment say that the accounts were not true, but fuller
accounts could be rendered.

Mr. LAWRENCE said the case would be adjourned
for that purpose.
The case was then adjourned, and on the applica
tion of Mr. Lawrence the bankrupts were granted
an allowance. _ _

The Sweeps amounted to 10,0001., and it is ex-
pected that many of the incognita debtors will come
forward with their subscription.

OIARLBRO'-STREET-(THIS DAY.)

Charles Cochrane was charged with being drunk
and incapable.
Police-constable C 148, was on duty in Picca-
dilly about ten o'clock on the previous night, where
he found defendant, lying in the gutter, close
by the pump, in a glorious state of gin. Defendant
was amusing about fifty auditors with dilating upon
the science of phrenology, and, as he caused an ob-
struction to the passers by he took him to the station-
house.

The defendant, who admitted the charge, was
fined ss.

The whole of the morning was occupied by the
Court in disposing of no less than twenty-seven
charges of a similar nature to the above.

THAMES.-(THIS DAY.)

John Councer, a genteel-looking youth, whose
friends are of the highest respectability, and who is
a midshipman on board the City of London East
Indiaman, now lying in the West India Dock, was
charged with stealing 131 lbs. of copper.
John Sheppard, a constable in the employ of the
West India Dock Company, stated he stopped the
prisoner as he was passing out of the dock gate, and
on searching him he found the copper produced con-
cealed about various parts of his person. The pri-
soner acknowledged he had taken it from his ship,
the City of London, and said he did not know what
had induced him to take it, as he had plenty of money.
Captain James Ford stepped forward, and said that
the robbery was to him the most incomprehensible,
the lad's friends were highly respectable, and he (the
captain) knew that he was plentifully supplied with
money. He had been on board the City- of London
now three years, and witness reposed such confidence
in him, that he entrusted him with the keys of the
ship. He trusted that, if possible, the case might be
summarily and leniently dealt with.
Mr. YARDLEY said, all that the captain had stated
merely tended to aggravate the case. It certainly
was a most deplorable thing to see a respectable young
man like the prisoner standing in such a position, but
he (Mr. Yardley) had a duty to perform to the public,
and in fulfilling that duty he could not make any
distinction of persons, and, therefore, however painful
to his own feelings, he felt that he could not do less
than commit him to take his trial for the felony.

LAMBETH.—(THIS DAY.)
Henry Barton, a youth about fifteen years of age,
was charged before Mr. Elliott with committing a
robbery on the highway, under the following cir-
cumstances :—An errand boy in the service of Mr.
Standon, an oilman, was passing the cemetery at
Nunhead, on his way to Nune Green, on Saturday
evening last, about eight o'clock, when some person
coming behind him covered his eyes with one hand,
as if in play, and asked if he knew him ? The lad
guessed at some one he knew. The stranger said he
was right; and, still pressing one hand upon
the prosecutor's eyes, after some playful struggle,
put the other hand into the latter's waistcoat-pocket,
and succeeded, notwithstanding the boy's resistance,
in abstracting 258., which he had just received on
Mr. Standon 's account. The robber made off, pur-
sued in vain by the prosecutor, who could give no
further description of him than that he had on a pair
of cord trousers. _ _

Mr. Standon, addressing the Court, said he
had not a tittle of evidence to offer
against the prisoner. His own boy was very
stupid, and could give no other clue to the re-
cognition of the robbery than the cord trousers, such
as it was clearly ascertained the prisoner never had
in his life.

The police-constable who took the prisoner into
custody from his master's door on Saturday night at
eleven o'clock, said he did so in consequence of the
description.
The prisoner's master gave him a character, and
said that he was not from home at the time of the
robbery, nor was he capable of a dishonest act.
He was at once discharged.

GROSVENOR INSTITUTION FOR DISEASES OE THE
CIIEST.—This institution owes its origin to the laudable
exertions of a few influential and benevolent individuals,
who have long felt not only the importance, but the
absolute necessity of providing for the poorer classes
some place to which they may resort for the cure or
alleviation of pulmonary diseases. A meeting of the
friends and supporters of the charity took place on
Saturday, at the institution, which is situated in Brook-
street, Grosvenor-square, and it was both numerously
and respectably attended. In the course of the proceed-
ings, the Chairman observed that it appeared from the
bills of mortality, about 8,000 persons annually died in
the metropolis from consumption alone, and it to these
were added numerous other complaints of the lungs and
heart, it might be fairly estimated that one-half of the
deaths in these climates were connected with diseases of
the chest. He added, that when these facts were
brought to mind, it could not but be a source of surprise
and regret, that in this mighty' city, so famed for its
wealth and charity, that scarcely an institution existed
(with the exception of an hospital, situated in the
suburbs, and quite inaccessible to the great majority of
out-door patients) for the particular study and treatment
of these disease. He concluded a powerful appeal, by
remarking that ho had no doubt that the institution
would meet with general support, and would very soon
acquire strength and solidity, for its claims were too
strong to be resisted. The general impression upon the
minds of all present was, that such an institution, while
it was imperatively required for the relief of the poorer
classes, would, at the same time, enlarge the boundaries
of medical science, by directing the attention of students
to a class of disease which has hitherto been so imper-
fectly understood. It was announced that the institution
would be opened on Wednesday next for the reception of
patients.
MARYLEBONE REFORM ASSOCIATION.—At a meet-
ing of members held on Saturday night, at the Exmouth
Arias, Exmouth-street, Hampstead-road, a resolu on
was confirmed which declared this association to be
finally dissolved. There was considerable opposition to
the measure, which gave rise to some warm discussion.

MONEY and

lAL NEWS.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

The Cotton Market at Liverpool on Saturday was
steady. Sales 2,000 bales, of which 200 were on spe-
culatton.—ln Railway Shares there was but little doing,
and prices were considerably lower.
There are no arrivals from any quarter, and the con-
tinental news is not of particular interest. The letters
received by the Britannia steamer advert to the condi-
tion of trade in the United States as beit, rather fa-
vourable, and money easy ; consequently the larger
failures here will not be so severely felt as might be
expected.
The corn trade is very slow again, and there is a de•
cline in prices, with large arrivals.
The Money Market continues stringent, but there are
yet hopes of a partial restoration of ease as the week
goes on, owing to the circumstance of very heavy pay•
merits on the Consol settlement, the eight millions loan,
and the rdvances from the Bank having been completed
last week. The want of money, however, it should be
observed, is not the present evil ; it is the want of con-
fidence.

The Public Securities are very unsteady again. After
opening with some degree of firmness, a sudden decline
has occurred in the absence of any particular ascertained
circumstance, although there are rumours still of great
difficulty being experiencad in mercantile circles. Con-
sols opened at 81 to 81k, and have declined since to
SOH for transfer to morrow. Time bargains have
been effected at 81i to 84, the quotations now
being 81* Rather an alarming rumour has been
spread respecting a country bank, but we are unable to
verify it. Exchequer-bills have been done at 15s. to
303. discount. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per
Cents have been 80* to 80. Bank Stock is 182 to 183,
and India Stock 224 to 225.
