purification as austere and terrible. For are not
those lips stained by the perjuries articulated in the
Chateau d'Eu ? and has not the historian-statesman
ruined his reputation by truckling to the greed and
duplicity of his royal master ? It is from the im-
possibility of forgetting the vices of the present
Government of France, or of losing a recollection of
the shameful acts by which it has acquired such un-
enviable notoriety, that we are disposed to regard
with derision and incredulity even the most com-
plimentary pretence of friendship. None can
deprecate more earnestly than ourselves that
system of calumny and vituperation which has kept
alive so many ridiculous jealousies between the people
of France and England. None can abhor more en-
tirely than ourselves that rancorous emulation which
has separated the two nations more decisively than the
billows of the Channel. Yet, despising, as we do,
the'promoters of those jealousies and of that emulation,
we cannot but think that the bonds connecting the
kingdoms together should in no instance be fic-
titious, and that the air respired by their respective
Ambassadors should not be perpetually the air of
hypocrisy. This it was which led to the disastrous
rupture of the Treaty of Amiens—the alliance re-
quiring a more stable basis than the courtesies of
ANDREOSSY or the mock confidence of his Excellency
Lord WHITWORTH. Our only expectation of the
continuance of peace between France and Great
Britain at this juncture is founded upon our belief
in the good sense of the population of the
former, and our conviction • of the skill

and moderation of the Government of the
latter. To anticipate the blessing of tranquillity
solely from the Cabinet which is guided by GUIZOT
and inspired by Lours PHILIPPE, would be to slumber
by the lair of the basilisk, or to look for constitutional
enactments from the AUTOCRAT. The perverse princi-
ples adopted from the text-book of METTERNICH by
the administrators of the Cabinet of the Tuileries can
alone be rendered innocuous by the resolute posture of
our own statesmen, and the unanimous voice of thirty-
five millions of Frenchmen.

In another column we publish an admirable letter
from Mr. CArrs, the Secretary to the Anti-Gold-
law League, addressed to the editor of the
Morning Chronicle, and replying to the objections
commonly urged against the issue of national
notes. Mr. Carrs completely vindicates the
advocates for a free trade in gold from the charges
brought against them, shows that it is exceedingly
improbable: that: the issue of Exchequer notes
would materially alter the price of gold, and proves
beyond contradiction that, although the Exchequer
note pound may possess less purchasing power as
regards commodities than the existing pound,
" strict and even-handed justice to all classes
demands a pound of this description ; that
Government cannot act honestly unless it causes
such a system of money to be adopted, and that credi-
tors will not be defrauded by a single farthing, but
merely called upon to pay the just debts which they
themselves owe." We commend this letter of Mr.
CAPPS to the attentive study of our readers, it is as
severely logical in its argument as it is perfectly un-
answerable in its conclusions.

It has heretofore been our pleasing duty to notice'
with approbation, the proceedings of the North
Wexford Landlord and Tenant Association. In the
several addresses which that body has issued to the
public, sound and practical views have been taken of
the national exigencies, and the adoption of measures
have been recommended by which the pressing diffi-
culties may be successfully encountered with the
existing means. We too frequently find in Ireland a
disposition to procrastinate and neglect the advan-
tages immediately attainable, while new measures
are demanded, under which (if sanctioned) extra-
ordinary ameliorations might be effected. The in-
cessant demand is for new legislation and for new
assistance, while that which is actually within
their reach is overlooked or despised. We
by no means desire that those well acquainted
with the wants of Ireland should refrain from send-
ing in to the Government their suggestions as to the
enactments that may be just or expedient; on the
contrary, we are rejoiced to find the leading and in-
fluential men assembling together, and directing the
,public attention to the defects in the existing laws.

of the proper amendments. Such suggestions Must
prove exceedingly valuable, and will no doubt receive
from the Ministry the attentive consideration they
merit. But it is still more essential to the welfare of
all classes, that the proprietors and occupiers of the
soil in the several districts should cordially co-operate
together for their mutual benefit, to diminish the
burdens to which they are subjected, and to promote
the prosperity of their respective localities, by every
practicable means. This appears to be the object of
the North Wexford Landlord and Tenant Assecia•
tion ; and if the example they have set was generally
followed throughout the country, a marked improve-
ment would speedily be manifested in every quarter.
The problem requiring the most speedy solution
at present is the means of finding adequate
employment, of a useful and productive character, for
the labouring population in all parts of the country.
If the labour that has been suffered to remain utterly
waste for years had been judiciously and skilfully
applied to the cultivation and improvement of the
land, the produce would now be nearly quadrupled,
but from many causes this source of real wealth has
been disregarded. Those who have been able and
willing to work have been permitted to remain in
idleness, suffering the greatest privations from want
of fitting occupation, while the land has remained
barren and sterile, when it might have
been rendered fertile and productive, by the
employment of the people. A new law,
however, was enacted during the past session,
the people were declared entitled to a maintenance
out of the land on which they were born. A per-
sistance in the shortsighted and impolitic course
hitherto adopted by the great majority of the owners
and the occupiers of the soil, was rendered impos•
sible. The people should be supported under any
circumstances, and it therefore became the interest
of both landlords and tenants to obtain their labour,
and to apply it in a profitable manner, in return for
that support. The 'Wexford Association are fully
alive to this necessity; they perceive, that to provide
for many idle people, must overwhelm the country
with a burden far beyond its power, and (in their
own language) "that the employment of the people
in the improvement and cultivation of the soil, is
the only resource left for saving Ireland from
anarchy, confusion, and ruin." One great object is
to enable the destitute poor to maintain their families
out of the workhouse, where their support would cost
far more than would be required if given in the shape
of wages; and, secondly, to receive the full benefit of
the labour in the improvement of the several estates.
In order, then, to attain these desiderata it is proposed
that the rate for out-door relief should be a voluntary
one, raised by the parties who would be compelled to
pay it if imposed by the board of guardians or the
Poor-law Commissioners, " that the entire amount
that would be required for that purpose in each elec-
toral division should be estimated and apportioned
to the different landlords and tenants therein, accord-
ng to their respective liabilities thereto, and that
each proprietor should advance his portion of the
rate in employing the idle labourers in the cultiva-
tion of his estate, and use his influence with his
tenants to give additional work to the same extent on
the lands in their hands. If this course was univer-
sally followed (say the Association) the ruinous ab-
sorption of the capital of Ireland by poor rates would
be arrested, and the rate itself become a source of
profit and independence to every individual engaged
in the regenerating work, bringing peace and
plenty for poverty and starvation." The mode sug-
gested for bringing it into operation is, that a
committee should be appointedd. in each electoral
division, to ascertain the
in widual liability of the
proprietors and their tenants to the rate, and
several

there is no doubt that it will
sanguine anticipations that have been inagedethe
the
but the great difficulty will be to induce all partines;
to co-operate together. We fear that many will en-
deavour to evade their responsibilities, and to throw
the weightier burdens on those prompt and ready

to act, so long as the matter is purely
optional. Why, however, should not the Legislature
profit by the suggestion, and enact that whenever
the Poor-law Commissioners should conceive it expe -
dient or necessary to authorise out-door relief, a rate
should be struck exclusively for that purpose,
sufficient for the maintenance of the entire unem-
ployed poor, and that credit should be given
for every sum paid by way of wages to persons whose
names were entered on the lists for such out-door
relief, during the time the necessity existed. The
details of such a measure could easily be prepared,
and its results would be highly beneficial. If, in
addition thereto, the guardians of the several unions
were permitted to rent sufficient land to
keep every able-bodied pauper who might be
admitted into the workhouse fully occupied,
the Irish landlords would find that the poor-
rates would be by no means so onerous as they
have been led to suppose. Whatever laws may be
enacted, the North Wexford Association are entitled
to the best thanks of the community for their valuable
suggestion.

In the Swiss Diet, before the decision that the de-
cree of July 20 was to be put into execution by force
of arms, very little discussion took place. M. DRUEY,
of Vaud, observed that as all attempts at conciliation
had failed, nothing else was to be done but to vote
the measure proposed. M. CALAME, of Neufchatel,
dwelt at some length on the horrors of civil war. He
inquired if hostilities were absolutely required, seeing
that peace still remained unbroken? Then, taking
into consideration the probable issue of the struggle,
he asked what the majority would do with their vic-
tory when once gained ? In his opinion, tranquillity
would not be the result, but anarchy; and, eventually,
a foreign intervention must be expected. He con-
ceived, besides, that three-fourths of the votes of the
Diet were required to declare war, and, consequently,
the present majority was not sufficient to con-
strain by force of arms the minority that might re-
fuse. The Honourable Deputy concluded by pro-
testing against the evils which were about to burst
upon the country. M. CONTERET, of Geneva, in-
quired if there would be a single dissentient voice,
did any necessity exist to have recourse to arms to
oppose a foreign Power ? Not one. Why then
should there be in the present case, when if foreign
Powers were not the principals concerned, they cer-
tainly gave counsel how to act, exercised influence,
and even afforded arms ? M. OCHSENBEIN, of Berne,
then declared that all discussion was evidently idle.
He should vote simply for the measure proposed.
The vote then took place, and the proposition of the
committee to have recourse to force of arms was
adopted by. the usual majority of twelve whole states
and two half ones. The proclamation to the Swiss
army was next brought forward, and adopted, with-
out any remark, by the same majority.
A long manifesto to the nation, drawn up by the
committee, was then read by the deputy for Zurich,
who declared that he thought it necessary that the
Swiss nation should be informed of the motives which
had directed the Diet in all the resolutions which it
had taken against the separate league. This mani-
felt°, which is in German, begins with an extended
narrative of the facts which had led to the formation
of the Sonderbund, and the recal of the Jesuits to
Lucerne. It declares that the Diet is the only autho-
rity competent to dissolve an alliance contrary to the
Federal pact, and that as the Diet has adopted a reso-
lution to that effect, which the Sonderbund is threat-
ening to resist by force of arms, it is the duty of the
Diet to employ all the means in its power to procure
the execution of its decisions. The manifesto termi-
nates by an appeal to the Swiss nation, with which
will rest the decision as to whether their deputies
in the Diet have faithfully fulfilled their mandate
br not.

The manifesto was unanimously agreed to, and
several of the deputies present expressed their grati-
tude to the deputy for Zurich, for having drawn up
so able a document. The deputy for Glaris _ said
that he hoped the manifesto would be favourably
received throughout the whole of Switzerland ; and
the deputy for Soleure said that it was a complete
answer to the manifesto issued by the canton of
Neufchatel.
M. FUNK, Vice-President of the Executive Council
of Berne, announced that he accepted his nomination
the Orisons, and M. G. VEILLON, of Lausanne, were
also named federal colonels. M. DELARAGEAZ, of
Lausanne, was promoted to the rank of federal lieu-
tenant-colonel. The Government of Neufchatel an-
nounced by a dispatch that it persisted in its refusal
to call out its contingent of troops ; the matter was
referred to the committee of seven. The Govern-
' went cf Bale Country announced that it had seized
on a quantity of articles coming from France, and
intended for the fitting up of a steamer on the lake of
Lucerne. The Government of the Bale Country
had thought it right to prevent their arriving at
) Lucerne, since they might eventually be of service
to the Sonderbund. The owner of the articles, who
was of French origin, before complaining of the
seizure to his Ambassador, thought it
.necessary to
lodge a representation of the circumstance with the
Diet of the Directory. The matter was referred to
the committee of seven. The Government of Berne
announced that the Council of State of Friburg
complained of its territory having been violated by
the troops of Berne. According to the result of an
investigation which had been made into the affair by
the authorities of Berne, the complaint was declared
to be devoid of all foundation. The matter, not-
withstanding, was referred to the committee of seven.
The sitting was brought to a close at eight o'clock.
Immediately after couriers were dispatched in all
directions to carry the result to the cantonal Govern-
ments. The Ambassador of France also dispatched
a courier to his Government.
The Bale Gazette of the 6th announces the depar-
ture from Zurich of the Russian Ambassador, Baron
DE KRUDENER. He called on the burgomaster, M.
ZEHNDER, to inform him that, as civil war was on
the point of breaking out, he quitted the Swiss terri-
tory by order of the EMPEROR.
The Grand Council of Bale came to a resolution on
the 6th, to furnish the contingent against the Sunder..
bund called for by the Diet.
Immediately after the passing of the decree of the
Swiss Diet against the Sonderbund, the Executive
Council of the Federal Government came to a resolu-
tion for the suspension of all relations with the can-
tons of the minority until further notice.
A letter from Lucerne of the 2d says—
Our town, ordinarily so peaceable, has assumed
the aspect of a great camp. Columns of infantry
and cavalry traverse it incessantly, in the midst of
the beating of drums and the clanging of trumpets,
to proceed to the positions which have been assigned
them. On Sunday last it was all at once rumoured
that our allies of Uri were about to arrive, and, in a
few seconds after, the bank of the lake was covered
with an immense mass of people, who greeted the
robust mountaineers of Saint-Gothard with a
thousand cries of joy, and prepared them a fraternal
reception. The staff of the army had gone out to
meet them, and we saw the troops of Lucerne throw
themselves into the arms of these heroic sons of the
Alps, in whose aspect alone there was something for-
midable. The next day, All Saints', those of Unterwal-
den also arrived at Lucerne, and were received with the
same transports of joy. These brave carabineers were
r preceded by a new flag, which had been blessed on
the tomb of St. Nicolas de Flue. Our militiamen
recognised and clasped in their arms those who co-
operated with them at the retaking of the Guens, and
at the deliverance of Lucerne. The militias of
Unterwalden-sur-Foret are expected to-morrow, and
thus is confounded the radical falsehood which pre-
dicted that no man of the little cantons would proceed
to Lucerne. Yesterday the first trial of our new
steam-boat was made, and its velocity surpassed all
hopes. It traversed the distance from Fluelen to
Lucerne, all the length of the lake, which is nine
Swiss leagues, in seventy minutes, which is only about
eight minutes for each league. We feel how precious
is this rapid means of keeping up communications
between the allied cantons, and the advantage which
will be drawn from it for the common defence."
Letters from Milan announce that the road over

the loan, withc nit receiving a considerable premium.
Or, what woul d come to the same thing, may not an
hypothesis pu ; forth by the National be realised ?
May it not hai lien that M. de Rothschild may refuse
to give up any part of the loan to the Bank without
stipulating tho ,t it shall pay in the first two instal-
ments ? By 1 hat he would gain two months, till
January the : 9th, the day for the opening of the
Chambers, the: moment when confidence and money
re-appeared, r with them a rise. A gain of four
per cent. may be easily realised, and all, or nearly all,
has been sold 4 without drawing the purse-strings,
with a profit rf 10,000,000 f., if not 12,000,000 f. It
is true that tl ie Bank, on its side, will not have made
a bad bargair i. It will have created for itself rentes
to the ainoun t of 1,000,000 f., or a revenue of 15f. per
share, at four per cent. ; or an additional capital of
400 f. will be added to each share. Who, then, can
complain ? No one, undoubtedly, except the Oppo-
sition journal ists, captious spirits who are ever ready
to find or cre rte causes for blame in all things and at
all times. B sitso ; but, as we are one of them, let
us be permit, sd to give our reasons. Yes, we have
already said, : tad we again repeat, that the measure
taken by the Bank is untenable in point of law,
disastrous in a financial sense, and dangerous in a
political point , of view."
Paris was r :early being the scene, on Monday, of an
act, surpassiti g in horror, although not equalling in
atrocity, the 1 'easlin tragedy. Count MORTIER, in a fit
of insanity, a ;tempted to assassinate his daughter and
his two sons., all of whom are under twelve years of
age. The Count is, it appears, jealous of the
Countess, wi 20 is, according to all accounts, a most
exemplary Is roman, and who has never given him the
slightest reas on to suspect her. This unfounded jealousy
is either the cause or the consequence of confirmed
insanity, fi ,r no doubt exists that the Count is
completely sat of his mind. On Sunday he wrote a
'Ater to th e Countess announcing his intention of
destroying 1 children, and then of destroying him-
self. The Countess went immediately to the Chan-
cellor, Count PASQUIER, to inform him of the subject,
and the Chancellor immediately repaired with assist-
ance to the Count's house. The doors of his apart-
ment were found all locked, and it was necessary to
break them open. The Count was found in his
study, with his children about him, and razors upon
the table ; and it appears that instead of attempting
' to kill them Without their knowledge, he had en-
deavoured to persuade them to consent to die along
with him. He was in the midst of an alterca-
tion with them when the authorities entered. He
was immediately arrested, and placed in a lunatic
asylum.
The _Pram publishes a letter, dated Tangiers, Oct.
27, which gives the following account of the state of
affairs in Morocco :
" Muley Abderrhaman has left Rabat to proceed
to Mequinez, and from thence to Fez, where he is at
present, and from, -which place he proposes to observe
the events of the Riff. Unfortunately winter ap-
proaches, and it is to be feared that the operations,
which are scarcely commenced, may be interrupted
by the bad weather. The exactions and cruelties of
the Emperor towards his subjects already bear their
fruits. The tribes which he has despoiled and deci-
mated rose after his departure, and pillaged several
convoys destined for him. Some of the imperial
troops were obliged to turn back to chastise the in-
surgents, who have fled to the woods and mountains,
to again mako their appearance when the Moorish
army shall be opposed to Abd-el-Kader. The au-
thority of the ex-Emir, a moment shaken in the
Riff, is at prevent stronger than ever. The Em-
peror has at length comprehended the danger of
his procrastination and temporising; three of his
sons, Si-Mohammed, Muley-Soliman, and Muley-
Ahnied, have received orders to go at the head
of 16,000 men against Abd-el-Kader, and to do
everything to arrest his progress and destroy his
influence. It is now some days since the three
Princes left Fez. Si-Mohammed and Muley-Soliman
have entered Taza, where they have shut themselves
up with 8,000 men, and Muley-Ahmed has gone into
the mountains of the Riff with the rest of the troops.
The struggle, consequently, is about to commence,
and Abd-el-Kader is not without disquietude. There
is a great agitation in the Deira, the council being
divided ; some propose to attack the imperial army in
front, others wish only to annoy it by skirmishes, to
divide it, in order to destroy it in detail, so that the
numerical weakness may be made up for by military
skill and promptitude of operations. Abd-el-Kader
appears irresolute, but it is supposed that he is decided
to fight a pitched battle. Some decisive event is
therefore about to take place, and it may be affirmed
that all will depend on the altitude of the tribes of

or surrender unconditionally to France, The ex-
Emir is doing everything to maintain himself in the
Riff. He is making great preparations, and most of
the Hachem and the Beni-Amers, who escaped from
the disasters of their tribes, have joined his army ;
they thirst for revenge, and are most anxious to meet
the Emperor's troops. The number of the men who
have thus come to swell the battalions of Abd-el
Kader is calculated at 2,000."
The latest intelligence of the Prince DE JOIN..
VILLE'S fleet is contained in a letter dated Toulon,
Nov. 3, from which we make the following extract:—
" The Perdrix transport, which has been dispatched
to the squadron of the Prince de Joinville with a
carge..pkprovisions, has just returned here, bringing
disptitaisVehithe Prince to the Government. When

gellitv,lqlithe Vauban steam-frigates had joined it.
Orders were giVen to all the vessels to be ready to
put to sea this day, and we believe we can annouce
on good authority that the squadron is bound for
Naples. The artillery stores here have just manu-
factured 30,000 cartridges for the Roman Govern-
ment. This command was urged on as rapidly as
possible. These cartridges are to be dispatched with
the muskets, of which we have already spoken. The
news is confirmed that the Government also yields
some pieces of cannon to the Pope."

CITY, QVANTER TO THREE.

The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was
firm, being i-. 1. per lb. higher. Sales, 2,500 bales.
Railway Shares were in more request at steady rates.
There are not any later failures announced in the
City, either here or in the manufacturing districts.
Much satisfaction has been expressed at the favourable
statement of accounts delivered at the meeting of the
creditors of Messrs. Lawrence, Phillipps, and Co., held
yesterday. It is very clearly shown that the firm has
most ample means to pay in full, with a clear and
large surplus, even admitting the contingency that the
properties held by the firm abroad will not
.realise the
amount anticipated.
It would appear by private letters received from
Manchester to•day that the rumour of the intention of
Messrs. Jones Loyd and Co.. bankers there, to call in
all old debts and current obligations to the firm is cor-
rect ; still, however, no information is afforded of the
plan to be adopted under the new system which is pro-
posed to be carried out.
There are some reports in well-informed circles, that
in conseqin nce of the memorials and interviews between
the West India body, that a plan of relief will be pro-
posed by her Majesty's Government. What the plan is,
and how to be carried out, is entirely a matter of con-
jecture only.
The French Loan is to be taken this afternoon at
Paris. We are informed that a list has been made up

It is said that the Bank of France will be strong 'compe-
titors for the contract.
A very important feature in the transactions of
the Money Market this morning has been a
purchase of Exchequer-bills at par. Is this significaLt
of a funding ? Still, however, the Consol Market has
been most active. The price for the account early
in the morning was 84i, since which a reaction has
taken place to 84i to -I, said to be occasioned by the im-
portant intelligence of another change having taken
place in the Spanish Ministry. Money Stock
descended from 844 to 84, buyers. As to the
present value of Exchequer-bills, the reaction in the
Three per Cent. Stocks has caused a decline to 4s. dis-
count in the 1,0001. paper. The Small Bills are at 7s.
premium. Bank Stock opened at 1854, and is now
quoted 2 per cent. better.
Brazilian Bonds of 1829 and 1839 are at 75 to 77;
Chilian, at 86; Danish, at 804; Spanish, at 161; and
Venezuela are called 321 to 33k. In the Foreign Stock
there is very little stirring to-day.
A moderate amount of business has been transacted
in the Railway Shares this morning. Eastern Counties
has been at 161 ; Great Western at 100 and 97 ; Lon-
don and Birmingham 41i to 42 ; South Western 54 to
