and the surrounding districts, are overspread with false
gold and. silver, money, fabricated as is supposed in Switz-
erland. :The pieces are hollowed out in the middle, each
face being suffered to remain intact, and the interval
being filled up with baser metal. The falsification is said
to be skilfully done, and very difficult of detection.
Lord HOLLAND arrived at Parma,from Modena, on the
17th instant; and had the honour of presenting his cre •
dentials to the Grand Duchess. His Imperial Highness
left the same day for the baths of Ischl, accompanied by
the Cowit de BOYIBELLES, the Marchesa PALLAVICINO, and
the Baroness ZOBEL.
The funeral of M. Gamier Pages passed off (says the Na-
tional) without the least disorder. M. Odillon Barrot, who
was to have paid a tribute to the deceased, had retired
from the procession as it entered the cemetery of Pere la
Chaise, in consequence (says the Commerce) of some manifes-
tation of the people against the fortifications, of which M.
Barrot had been one of the most strenuous promoters. M.
Arago and M. Joly, colleagues of M. Gamier Pages in the
Chamber of Deputies ; Id. Bastide, Editor of the National;
and M. Lesseps, Editor of the Commerce, severally pronounced
orations over his tomb. Next came M. Blaise, in the name of
the Reform Committee of Paris ; M. Dupotz, publisher of the
Journal de Peupk, and M. Duthoy, in that of the labouring
classes ; and M. Marlet, as the representative of the schools :
the ceremony was concluded by an affecting address of M.
Pagnerre, expressive of the sorrow of the private friends of M.
Gamier Pages. All these speeches were one continued strain
of democratic effusions, and elicited from the immense crowd
to which :they were addressed expressions of adhesion, very
ominous for the existence of monarchy. The Republican
prisoners detained at St. Pelagie, Lamennais, Lagrange,
'f hove, Esquires, Bergeron, &c., addressed a letter to the Na-
tional and Commerce, in which they manifested their lively re-
gret at their inability to join only in heart the citizens called
to render the last honours to the illustrious deceased. The
Commerce thus terminates its account of the funeral—" After
the ceremony, tha spectators retired with order and decorum,
which did not cease an instant to prevail in that patriotic re-
union. The cortege could not be formed of less than 40,000
or 50,000 citizens, and the population which assembled on its
passage exceeded 160,000 souls. The day will not be lost for
the country. The national opinion not only offered a proof of
its strength, but it also afforded evidence of its wisdom. We
congratulate it on this result, and recommend the people to
persist in this course, which is the surest means of reaping
speedily the fruit of their exertions, and hastening the period
promised to us by this grand manifestation."
The same paper contains a long article on the natural boun-
daries of France, and says, that the left bank of the Rhine,
together with Belgium, ought to belong to France, as well as
Savoy ; for the same reason that the Swiss Cantons, originally
French, belong to Switzerland, and for the same reason that
Hungary and the principalities will of necessity form part of a
future German empire. "The question," continues the Na-
tional, "is no longer whether the territories of a nation should be
extended in order to gratify egotistical pretensions. The inter-
ests ought to be reciprocal, and it is lawful for a nation to se-
cure natural frontiers for herself, which would afford a further
security for general peace, provided the country to be annexed
gain, or at least will not suffer, by the transfer.
"Thus the reunion of Holland to France would be an act of
odious ambition and illegitimate pretension, inasmuch as Hol-
land, which is essentially commercial, has distinct and opposite
interests to those of France. But Bavaria and Rhenish Prus-
sia, and even Belgium, would, on the contrary, gain by a union
with France in the same manner as Alsace, Lorraine,
and French Flanders have already benefited. The preten-
sions of France, therefore, to unite those provinces to her ter-
ritory is but natural and perfectly legitimate. The same ob-
servation applies to Savoy. Let Prussia, in compensation for
what she will lose on the left bank of the Rhine, establish her-
self more compactly on the right bank. Let her abandon the
Moselle, and possess herself of the Maine. In losing the Vis-
tula, in order that the kingdom of Poland be re-constructed,
let her acquire the Elbe, and this fusion of the northern
States will facilitate the constitution of a German empire.
On the other side, let Austria restore Gallicia to Poland rege-
nerated, retire from Venice and Milan to make place for new
Italy, and indemnify herself by the acquisition of all those
rich and unfortunate provinces which the Danube washes on
its passage to the Black Sea. Let her even extend her domi-
nion on the eastern coast of the Adriatic, where her navy has
a right to an ascendancy, and then she will acquire wealth
and power, which oppressed Gallicia and Lombardy do not
afford her.
" Germans," concludes the National, " the German press,
under the direction of the censors, excites you against France.
It points at the Rhine. Do you observe the Danube, which is
an essentially Getman river? Whilst Great Britain delivers up
the mouths of the Danube to 'Russia, in order to close this route
against your commerce, your soldiers and your princes are aiding
the English to take possession of the Euphrates and the Isthmus
of Suez. After that sing the free Rhine !' "

Our Correspondent's letter on the Nottingham elec-
tion makes remarks from us superfluous. We rejoice
with him that the men of •Nottingham have nobly re-
trieved their character. We lamented most sincerely,
on account of Nottingdam, the election of Mr. Walter;
we as sincerely and most heartily congratulate the elec-
tors on their having now so summarily rejected him. To
fail and fall is the common lot of humanity, but the in-
stances are rare where the .recovery is so sudden and so
complete. The sagacious men of Nottingham saw
through the charlatan attempts to humbug them, and the
" despairing quack with curses fled the place." Honour
to the long-tried men of Nottingham.
