vacancy recently occurred in the representation of Salis-
bury, and, setting aside all the reprelentativ(4 of local
factions, rejecting all mere party politicians, they have
declared themselves the advocates of progress in the
best sense of the term, by electing as their representa-
tive one who has proved himself an admirable public
servant—ono who, by his energy, perseverance, and in-
dustry, has benefited himself, and, by benefiting himself,
has at the same time benefited his humbler fellow-subjects
by enabling them to earn the wages of honest industry:
who, as chairman of the South-Western Company, has
shown his capacity for conducting public business: who,
as sheriff of London, has won golden opinions from all
sorts of men. Animated by the single desire of contri-
buting to the public, they have chosen Mr. Chaplin as
their representative, irrespective of mere party conside-
rations, and we trust that, at the next general election
many constituencies will return such men as Mr. Chaplin,
" animated by the single desire of contributing to the
public good." Such men are wanted in the House of
Commons. All honour, therefore, to the constituency
of Salisbury for the admirable choice they have made,
and may all other constituencies following their example,
,eschew political adventurers, and elect men of business.
We refer our readers to a fuller report given in another
column. .

According to a letter from Berlin, in the Augsburg
Gazette, it has been resolved by the KING in Council to
have an assembly in his capital of the three orders of
nobles, burgesses, and peasants, to which are to be sub-
mitted 'all questions of taxation and loans. Count
D'ARN/DI, the ex-Minister, will,,it is said, be appointed
President of this Chamber.

The German Journal of Frankfort states, from Vienna,
that the Archduke STEPHEN, who by a decree of the
EMPEROR has been appointed as the successor, ad interim,
of the late Palatine of Hungary, will be elected Palatine
by the Diet, most of the Hungarian nobles being favour-
able to his nomination.

A session extraordinary of the Diet of Saxony was
opened at Dresden by commission on the 21st. The
debates were to commence in the Second Chamber on
the following day.

A German journal says—" The Municipal Council of
Stutgard, having signed a petition in favoUr of the
liberty of the press, the Minister of the Interior of Wur-
temberg has been commanded by the KING to express to
the corporation his displeasure at this proceeding."
A letter from Munich of the 17th says—

" Up to the present time the Government has permitted a
great number of persons, and particularly editors of news-
papers, to receive exceptionally by post foreign journals dis-
approved of by the censorship. The Minister of the Interior
has now decided that editors alone shall be allowed to receive
such journals, and on the express condition of taking an
oath not to let them leave their office—not to communicate
their contents to more of their colleagues than shall require
them for editing their paper—and to deliver them up within
a delay of twelve hours to the censor, who is to give a re-
ceipt for the same, guarding them under key for the Go-
vernment."

Madrid papers of the 22d have arrived.

The Lttiriiz candidates for the Vice-Presidency of the
Chamber have been defeated, and Senor SEIJAS LOZANO
and Senor JOSE CONCHA, who belong to the Moderado
Opposition, have been elected.

The Herald() publishes the following list of those likely
to form part of the new Ministry:—
The Duke de Sotomayor, President of the Council and
Minister of Foreign Affairs; M. Arteta, Minister of the In-
terior; M. Bravo Murillo, of Grace and Justice; N. Sotelo,
of Marine; and M. Sierra y Moya, Minister of Finance ad
interim, it being still hoped that M. Mon would consent to
retain that department.
No Cabinet had, however, been formed on the 22d, and
it was considered not improbable that the Duke DE
SOTOMAYOR would be obliged to resign the task he had
undertaken.

of the Ecuador expedition was recently disbanded a

We have received the Paris papers of Thursday.
The publication of the additional dispatches on the
subject of the Montpensier marriage, more particularly
of the note of the Marquis of NORMANDY to Lord PAL-
MERSTON, has produced a great sensation in Paris. No
defence of M. GUIZOT has been attempted even by his
own journals, and the Presse is reduced to the necessity
of protesting against the rancour of Lord PALMERSTON,
which, it say s, the fall of M. Gutzwri,will not calm unless
it is accompanied by the fall of the Kis° of the FRENCH
also. One eff(mt of the publication of these dispatches has
been to reconcile the differences which had broken out
among the members of the Opposition. The seceders
will now join IL TUIERS in a vote condemnatory of the
foreign policy of M. GUIZOT. With the exception of
M. GUIZOT'S .own journals, which say nothing on the
subject, the l►apers of all shades and parties are unani-
mous in giving expression to their feelings of shame and
;....tif„.A.L1....11, the dicaraocfaa La t.b.cry of M. C urnoT.
After copying• the dispatch of the Marquis of NOR-
MANDY to Lord TALMERSTON, dated Sept. 25, the Siecle
says—

"We defy any man of honour, to whatever opinion he
may belong, to read the account given in this dispatch
without the bl( 01 rushing into his face. Either Lord N,pr-
manby is an im poster, unworthy to represent the Govern-
ment of a great country—and we are not aware that such an
accusation has ever been brought against him—or the con-
duct of M. Guiz. A is sovereignly contemptible. We do not
know whether tlgere exist in France men, a system, a party
whom it may sill t to be thus represented,' but we are con-
vinced that the 128 .tion will never acknowledge Ministers who,
instead of nobly upholding its rights and its interests can
only intrigue, tri ,k, and lie."
The Constituti onnel thus sums up the documentary
evidence which 'has been published on this question, and
as this article in ay be taken as the programme of M.
TRIERS' speech. in the debate on the Address, it acquires
additional impc tance :
" Although tb 3e marriages are regarded in different points
of view, those w he ; do not consider that a more strict union
between the reif ing families of France and Spain was pur-
chased too dear ly at the price of the suppression of Cracow,
as well as those who consider that the postponement of the
union would ha v e been more advantageous for France, as
well as for thee cause of liberty, are unanimous in one re-
spect. Every man feeling for the honour of France
wishes that ita Government should not be accused
with justice of, having violated every rule of sincerity
and good fait ft.." " France," adds the Constitutionnel,
"is great enou h that her Government, when it wishes
to attain an objie ct, has less need than any other to have
recourse to dup li city. Let any mass examine the docu-
ments which we place under the eyes of our readers, and let
him judge if the fair reputation of our country has not re-
ceived a most lam entable stain. M. Guizot never ceased to
repeat, both in vci iting and at the tribune of the Chamber
of Peers, that the Whig Ministry practised in the question of
the marriages a r ,ne of policy different from that of the Tory
Ministry. We ' nave already compared the dispatch of the
19th of July, in a -hich Lord Palmerston explained confiden-
tially to Mr. Buil ever the state of the question, with the dis-
patch officially a ldressed by Lord Aberdeen to the Duke de
Sotomayor to ez olain, on the 22d of June, 1846, the senti-
ments of the Erg/ fish Government with regard to the mar-
riage. Every net in will see the identity of the two policies.
We reprint them two important dispatches, adding to them
a series of dispal z hes, addressed by Lord Aberdeen to Sir R.
Gordon' to Lora Cowley, and to Mr. Bulwer, the representa-
tives of Great B.ra. tain, at Vienna, Paris, and Madrid. Those
documents cornrilo to the proof of that fact. On the 6th of
July, 1846, the 3 linistry of which Lord Aberdeen formed
part retired frona office. Lord Cowley remained, neverthe-
less, for some tins e, as British Ambassador at Paris. In a
dispatch, address, 1 on the 13th of July to Lord Paltherston,
he furnished hien • with the substance of Sir R. Peel's policy
with respect to th, a Spanish marriages. On the 19th of July
Lord Palmerston wrote to Mr. Bulwer—it will be seen that
he had Lord Qom ley's letter before him, and that he con-
formed himself in all points to the opinions expressed and
to the instructi. out ; given by his predecessor. Nevertheless
the Spanish G ov• emment again addressed the new British
Ministry, the F 'rench Government, and the Prince of Saxe-
Coburg himsel r, on the plan of an alliance between that
Prince and Que Jen Isabella. M. Guizot denied in one of his
notes that the I garquis de Miraflores was charged with a mis-
sion on that sub ject to the French Government. A dispatch
of Lord Cowley r, dated 20th July, obliges M. Guizot to ac-
knowledge that ,:at least he was not completely informed.
The Whig Min ist Ty replied by a refusal to the overtures of
the Spanish Gov ernment in favour of the Prince of Saxe •
Coburg, the Pr in( ;e having demanded as a condition the as-
sent of the Frs me .h Government. Lord Palmerston declared
to Count Jarnac on the 24th of July (five days after the date
of the dispatch so much used by M. Guizot) that the
candidate prefers id by him, as well as by Lord Aberdeen,
was Don Enrico e. Lord Palmerston wrote on the 3d of
August to Mr. 3 •3ulwer that one of the reasons why the
pretensions of ti ie Prince of Saxe-Coburg were not sup-
ported by Englan d was, that the marriage of the Queen
with this Prince would be an object of dissension be-
tween Spain and France. From that moment until the
28th of August ti Le English Cabinet gave at London, at
Madrid, and at I 'aris, every proof of its desire to enter
into co-operation with France in favour of Don En-
rique. Neither P,l Guizot nor M. Bresson were ignorant
of this fact. h E. Guizot promised the Marquis of
Normanby, on the 28th of August, on his arrival in Paris,
that he would writ to M. Bresson. in that sense. Never-
theless, three dawn afterwards, namely, on the Ist of Septem-
ber, M. Guizot a.mt ounced to the Marquis of Normanby that
the two marriages • were arranged. He declared that the two
marriages would' n( it take place at the same time, without,
however, engag; rig to wait until the Queen had children.
We know that the two marriages were solemnized at
the
same moment. When the Marquis of Normanby was ap-
prized of this f act, lie waited on M. Guizot and reminded
him of his NVOT, is. Do you know how M. Guizot explained
them ? Ime ant to say,' replied ha, that the Queen should
be married firs t"--to which the Marquis of Normanby re-
plied that he had given to the words
not imagine that of M. Guizot their
natural interpr i tion, and that re could
M. Gnizot wit the d simply to say, that the should Queen
re-
vealed
walk first in th.s c 3remony. These are some of the facts
by those dr ,currents."

The 1V- 4-tional asks—
"Had we ctot n ason to be indignant against a Minister
declaring one . ig positively, then denying his word, then
again, when , iriv‘ m to ackowledge them, endeavouring to
explain them by a most untenable quid pro quo? What
can be the opi aion formed of this man by an Ambassador
who detects hi mina flagrant imposture ? What opinion
can Europe en .tern tin of a French Minister who can thus deal
in the gravest affai rs ?"
