could not pursue a course more calculated to do so
than the course they are now pursuing in Friburg
and Lucerne.

Letters from Genoa of the sth give the following
account of the reception of King CHARLES ALBERT
in the city :
" The King has arrived amongst us, and has been
welcomed with the most enthusiastic acclamations.
His Majesty, affected by these demonstrations of
sympathy, shed tears. In all the towns through
which he passed the joy of the inhabitants was testi-
fied in the same gladful manner, and particularly at
Alexandria, where the King stopped some hours,
those manifest stions assumed a character truly
solemn. At :Rivarola, a small town situated at a
short distance :from Genoa, a magnificent triumphal
arch was erects d, and a part of the inhabitants, with
the principal tr adesmen at their head, accompanied
him as far as tb.e entrance of our city. At the gates
of Genoa the local authorities, accompanied by about
50,000 person:s, received his Majesty with repeated
cries of Lo;ag live Charles Albert, the reforming
Prince.' In the midst of this joyous crowd might
be distingui:thed the Marquis Georges Doria,
proudly carrying the famous standard taken
by the Genoese from the Austrians in 1746.
MM. Durazzo. and Balbi, the heads of two of
the first families in Genoa, carried, one a Piedmontese
flag, and the other that of the city of Genoa. The
Marquis Pareto„ as remarkable fur his great know-
ledge as for his patriotism, carried a banner on which
was inscribed " Long live Italy !" The Abbe de San
Matteo, who 'belongs to the noble family of Doria,
carried another, with the inscription, "Long live
Gioberti," and was followed by a long cortege of
priests and monks, each having an olive branch in
their hands. 'On the flag borne by the representatives
of the commezecial interests of Genoa was inscribed,
" The grateful traders of Genoa ;" on that borne by
the printers was written, "Long live Charles Albert,
the reformer of the law on the press," and there
were besides, a number of other banners bearing the
inscriptions of " Long live Charles Albert, the Re-
former ;" "Long live Pius IX. ;" "Long live the
Army ;" " long live our Piedmontese brethren."
When the King passed, this mass of fifty thou-
sand citizens followed the royal cortege to
the palace, before the gates of which the King
stopped to see the troops file off. Afterwards the
population, ranged in platoons with admirable or-
der, also filed off before the King. When the troops
and the people met, they gave way to the most touch-
ing demonstrations of fraternity. In passing before
the King, the Corporation of Commerce offered him
its banner, which the King accepted with great
emotion. In the evening all the quarters of the city
were illuminated; and the King, to show his satis-
faction, determined, in spite of the fatigues of the
journey, to appear in public on horseback. To take
a turn in the city, which under ordinary circum-
stances would require ten minutes, he employed an
hour. This fact will show how great the crowd was.
On arriving before the Jesuits' college, the people,
which till then had never ceased to make the air ring
with its delighted acclamations, became hushed all at
once, and, after some moments of solemn silence,
an immense cry of " Long live Gioberti!" burst
from every lip. On returning from this patriotic
promenade, the King, still escorted by the popula-
tion and by 100 young men carrying torches,
stopped at the palace, and expressed to the people
all the happiness v,,hich he felt. At the same instant
a citizen left the crowd, and approaching his Majesty
kissed his hand. He then supplicated him to accord
an amnesty to all political offenders. All at once the
magic word of amnesty ran on every lip as guided
by an electric current—" Amnesty ! amnesty !"
Such was the cry that filled the air. The King af-
fected to tears, and extending his hand to those who
surrounded him, replied by these remarkable words,
which posterity will enregester in history—" My
people ! my brethren ! What you demand shall be
done—you shall be contented—l will accord all
that can make you happy !" To describe to you
the effect caused by these paternal words would be
above my power. How can I describe in fact the en-
thusiasm of the people which sees the era of liberty open
before them ! I say enthusiasm, but lam wrong—it was
not enthusiasm—it was delirium—it was frensy !"
The printers subsequently offered a banner to the
King, on which we read the inscription, " Liberty of
the Press !" The King accepted the offering, and
the crowd immediately retired in the most perfect
order. We are assured that on the 15th of the pre-
sent month the Customs Union and the reduction of
the duty on salt will be published. The approaching
organization of the Civic Guard is also spoken of."

The Piedmontese Gazette mentions a rumour that
Pontremoli has been again ceded to Tuscany for four
millions of francs. Public rejoicings on the occasion
of the recent reforms were celebrated at Allessandria,
Villa Nova, Monferrato, Fossano, Saluzza, Suzza, and
Nice, and other places.
The Patria of Florence publishes the following
from Rome, in its number of the 2d :

" Monsignor Morandi, Governor of Rome, gave in
his resignation on the 22d ult. It is generally be-
lieved that it will be accepted, and that the delay
which has taken place in giving a reply, was owing
to the difficulty of finding him a successor. It is
only when a successor shall be appointed that we
shall see the end, which is expected with so much im-
patience, of the great prosecution of the accused of
July. It is said that Monsignor Savelli will suc-
ceed Monsignor Morandi. An article in No. 39 of
the Contemporaneo, bearing the title On the party
soi-disant Catholic,' has just.incurred, after the space
of a month, a formal blame in the Diario di Rona of
the 24th. It was already a great thing to make us
arrive at the conviction that Catholicism is the same
thing as Jesuistism, where the sons of Loyola labour.
But our grief was much greater when we learned by
the Diario of the 26th, that Professor Salvatcre-Betti,
Censor, one of those who allowed the article of the
Contemporaneo to pass, had been suspended from his
functions. It would appear that the article of the
Univers attacking that of No. 39 of the Contempo •
raneo, has been one of the causes of the suspension.
We therein recognise the habitual artifices of the
partisans of the Jesuits. A great number of the
citizens of Rome have visited M. Betti to express to
him the great interest which the public takes in him.
The modest savant, affected to tears by this mark of
sympathy, returned his thanks, and cried, ' Long
live Pius IX. !' The editors of the journals having
reason to fear a more severe censorship, after having
attempted to avoid the rigours of it, have to-day sus-
pended their publications, and all demand a repressive
law on the press. The notice which they have just
published is as follows :--` The political journals of
Rome see themselves under the necessity of sus-
pending the publication of their sheets until certain
recent difficulties relative to the censorship shall be
resolved by him who has the power. The suspension
will not cause any loss to the subscribers. "
Notwithstanding this notice, the Contemporaneo of
Rome, appeared on the 30th ult.

A letter from Rome, of Nov. 3, says—" It ap-
pears certain that Cardinal FERRETTI has refused to
withdraw his resignation. Cardinal AMATI is de-
signated as his successor. If this nomination takes
place it will produce a change of persions, not of
policy."
Lord Mnrro passed the night at Arezzo on the
30th ult. The inhabitants assembled before the hotel
and cheered him loudly. The cries of " Long live
the friends of Ttalian independence, the Customs
League, and England" were incessant. Lord MuiTo
(says the Alba) stepped out on the balcony, and
_re-
sponded with, " Long live LEOPOLD 11. and Italian
independence!"
Madrid papers of the sth have arrived.

NEZ DE LA Rosa Ambassador to Rome,
The Gaveta publishes a decree appointing MARTI-
of PACHECO. The appointment of this clever Afran-
in the room
cesado intriguer to the Roman Embassy is likely to
be anything but pleasing to the Pora. Indeed, it '.41
rumoured, that on hearing of the intended appoint-
ment, his HoLINEss announced his intention of re-
fusing to receive any Ambassador from Spain until
the affairs of the Church in that country should b 2
placed upon a satisfactory footing.
It is said that profound divisions exist in the Mo.
derado party, many of whom are strongly opposed to
NanvaEz. The Heraldo denies that this is the case,
and contends that the recent changes in the Cabinet
are not to be regarded as any proof of disagreement.
The Cabinet, it says, in order to meet the Chamber.
had need to be entirely renewed, so as to have no re-
sponsibility whatever with respect to what had
occurred previous to its accession to power; and the
two retired Ministers themselves felt that they consi-
dered it right to relieve their colleagues of their pre-
sence. That matters did not pass as the Heraldo
represents is evident, from the fact that the decrees
set forth that Generals Ros DE OLANo and CoanovA
were dismissed—" relieved of their offices," as the
Spanish phrase runs. _

The same Ministerial journal publishes a letter
from Paris, in which it is positively stated that the
Duke and Duchess DE MONTPENSIER have no inten-
tion of visiting Spain. The Duchess, it is added,
promised the QUEEN to return to Madrid this year,
and the QUEEN has frequently written to her to fulfil
the promise ; but King LOUIS PHILIPPE, fearing
that the visit might give rise to false interpretations,
has caused it to be postponed. The letter further
asserts that the KING of the FRENCH never had the

intention, as several of the journals have asserted, of
allolling the Duke DE MOINTPENSIER to accept a
command in the Spanish army.
We take note of this evidently official letter pub
lbhed by the I\linisterial journal, inasmuch as it is
a distinct avowal that, although ISABELLA may
reign over, Louis Pniurrn in fact governs Spain ;
we see that he determines whether or not an Infanta
of Spain shall visit her native country, and who shall
and who shall not accept commands in the Spanish
army. It is for the Spaniards to determine how much
longer they will suffer their nation to be an appanage
of the house of Orleans.

Everything seems preparing for a Carlist outbreak
in the north. A band of 30 armed Carlists passed
into Spain on the night of the 31st of October by
Vera. The body was almost entirely composed of
officers, and amongst these are, it is said, a general
and eight colonels or superior officers. Two of them
are LARUIIIIIA. and OZCARIZ, who are well known for
their exploits during the last civil war. The Captain-
General left Sebastian on November 2 in pursuit of
them. The troops quartered at Vera have been
ordered out, as well as a detachment of Custcm-
house officers.

MADRID BOLA, Nov. s.—The Three per Cents.
were done at 26 9-16, at fifty days; the Five per
Cents. at 151 for paper ; the Debt without Interest,
at 5i ; and the Coupons at 11 for cash.

We have received the Paris papers of Wednesday.
We yesterday announced the fact that the Messrs.
ROTIISCIIILD had contracted for the new loan in the
Three per Cents. at 754. The following is the ac-
count given, by Galignani's Messenger of Wednes-
day afternoon, of the circumstances attending the
bidding :
" The adjudication of the loan of 250 millions, as
authorised by the Bill of Aug. 8, 1847, took place to-
day, at twelve o'clock, at the Hotel of the Minister of
Finance, Rue de Rivoli. The room in which the
proceedings took place was crowded to excess long
before the hour appointed to commence. When the
lion. Minister had taken his seat, he briefly intimated
for what purpose the day's meeting was ordered, and
then called on M. Calinon, the Secretary of the
.Department of Finance, to read the conditions of
the adjudication, which state :—That the payment
of the 250 millions should be effected in twenty-
five months from Nov. 22, 1847 ; that a first instal-
ment of 12,500,000 f. should be delivered on that
day ; a second of 12,500,000 f. on Dec. 22, 1847 ;
a third of 5,000,000 f. on Jan. 7, 1848 ; and all
the rest, each amounting to 10,000,000 f., on
the 7th of each month, down to Nov. 7, 1849, on
which dray the last instalment was to be paid, &e.
The Hon. Minister then laid on the table a sealed
packet, containing the minimum price below which
no tender could be accepted, and called on the persons
wishing to contract to hand in their tenders. Baron
J. de Rothschild then placed a sealed packet on the
table, no other person following his example. When
the dock struck half-past twelve the Hon. Minister
proceeded to open the sealed packet of M. de Roths-
child. He first read the receipt from the Caisse de
DepOts et Consignations for a sum of 10,000,000 f.,
caution-money paid in according to the conditions.
He next read the tender itself, which offered to take
the loan of 250 millions at the rate of 75f. 25c. This
announcement was received with hisses by a number
of persons, who considered the price too low, whilst
others cried out, C'est un tres-beau prix.' The
Hon. Minister then stated that as the rate just
named was above the minimum price contained iu his
sealed packet, the loan was adjudged to MM. de
Rothschild. Except the immediate friends of MM.
de Rothschild, we saw none of the bankers or capital-
ists of Paris present."

The Conservateur of Wednesday pays the follow
ing tribute to the memory of Count BRESSON

" This sad intelligence plunges not only in mourn-
cng a respectable family, but it affects all men who
value services rendered to one's country, for no man
has served Prance better than Count Bresson. What
was the cause of this catastrophe ? They who knew
the Count, who could appreciate the strong affection
he bore to his father, his wife, to his brothers, who
know how much he was a slave to his duties, are
obliged to think of the events of the last few years,
and to call to mind the brain fever which nearly
caused his death in Spain. After that terrible illness
he was subject to intermittent attacks which affected
his brain. These attacks, however, never led to the
supposition that any such frightful denouement could
take place as that now announced. What occurred
in this last and fatal night ? A Marseilles
journal asks, Is it an assassination? Is it
a suicide ? No one knows. All that we can
say is, that, in a last letter to bits father,
M. Bresson, after having expressed his tender affec-
tion adds :—" I feel that I am more a man of the north
than of the south. This beautiful climate excites my
nervous system to excess." We must, then, at least
wait for certain news before pronouncing on the real
causes of the unhappy end of a man of the highest
distinction, who, united to the truest and most pro-
found social feelings, the most eminent qualities of the
citizen."
The Union Monarchique says—

" Raised while still young to the highest positions
in diplomacy, loaded with favours by a Government
for whose advantage he recently negotiated the
Spanish marriages, M. Bresson in destroying himself
can have only yielded to a spirit of despair—the cause
of which we vainly seek for. We deplore his melan-
choly end. Whatever may have been the political
acts of his life, we cannot but do homage to his emi-
nent abilities and the admirable personal qualities
with which he was endowed. his death is a great
loss to our diplomacy, as it is a subject of inconsolable
grief to a most honourable family.'
A rumour prevailed in Paris on Tuesday to the
effect that Friburg had been taken by assault by the
troops of the Federation, after a most destructive
engagement. No great credit, however, was attached
to the rumour, and no intelligence confirming it had
been received up to Wednesday afternoon.
The Debats says—" Our letters from Berne of
the 6th speak of the measures taken by the French
Ambassador in behalf of the young Frenchmen wrho
have the misfortune to be in the College of Friburg.
M. DE Bois LE COMTE, after having conferred with
General DUFOUR, has sent M. DE MassioNAc, an
attache of the embassy, to bring those young people
to the hotel of the embassy at Berne. For this pur-
pose the General had delivered a safe conduct to M. DE
MASSIONAC, who was to return to Berne in the even-
ing of the 7th. Tkis attaché had also been charged to
bring back the young Spaniards who are in the col-
lege. Mr. PEEL had also sent an attache of the Le-
gation to bring the young Irishmen to Berne.

DISCOVERIES IN NORTH AMERICA.-With a ra-
pidity that would be incredible from any one else,
Mr. Wyld, the eminent geographer, has already
published a map, which represents a sketch of the
discoveries on the North-Eastern Coast of America,
by the Hudson's Bay Company's Arctic Expedition,
under the command of Dr. John Rae. The rapidity
with which this valuable sketch has been issued is
not more entitled to approval than the perspicuity
and minuteness with which it has been executed.
Those who examine the survey of this expedition
will obtain from the present outline map very mate-
rial assistance ; it is well-timed and excellently de-
lineated.

The Right Hon. Richard More O'Ferrall, the
newly appointed Governor of Malta, proceeds thither in
a day or two, in her Majesty's steam-packet Oberon,
Lieutenant Gardner commanding, now on her way to
Portsmouth.

THE TRINITY BOARD.—The office of chaplain to
this corporation has become vacant by the demise of the
Rev. J. F. Wakley, M.A., who was also lecturer at St.
Paul's Church, Deptford.
SMITIIFIELD-MARKET.—A thick Parliamentary
blue-book has just been printed by order of the House of
Commons, containing the evidence given before the
Select Committee respecting Smithfield-market. The
Committee have made no report further than recom-
mending to the House the necessity of applying for a
new commission in the ensuing Parliament, to continuo
the subject of their inquiry.
ROBBERY IN ST. JAMES'S PARR.—In the course
of Tuesday night some thieves stole the whole of the
lead from the roof of Marlborough Lodge, in St. James's
Park. Two sentries were on duty within a few yards
of the place, but neither of them heard the slightest
noise, nor saw anything to excite their suspicion.
