from the political creed of MACCHIAVELLI, or from
the subtle and insidious promptings of MEFHIS-

The Augsburg Gazette of the 24th instant con-
tains the following letter, dated Berlin, the 18th:
" Seven of the Poles, capitally convicted, who had
appealed to the mercy of the King, have obtained
the commutation of their penalty to imprisonment for
life. It is, however, probable, that in a few years
they will be amnestied. Mieroslawski alone refused
to address a similar request to his Majesty, but his
advocate bad taken on himself to invoke the Royal
clemency in his favour. The situation of the accused,
who after being acquitted were claimed by Russia,
excites general sympathy. The police arrested them
immediately on their leaving the prison. In order
to escape their wretched fate, they have entered an
appeal against the sentence, and demanded that the
Court should pronounce their entire liberation. The
President (M. Koch) ordered them to be conveyed
back to prison, where they will wait the result of the
decision of the tribunal on their appeal."

The Patria of Florence states that the PopE seems
inclined to sanction the resolution of the Consulta,
that its debates should be public. His Holiness held,
on the 17th, a secret consistory, at which twenty
Spanish archbishops and bishops were nominated.
This is the first time since the death of FERDINAND
VII. that his Holiness has performed this ceremony.
His Holiness opened the consistory with a discourse
relative to the state of the Church in Spain, Russia,
and Switzerland. With regard to Spain and Russia,
he expressed feelings of joy at the favourable turn
religious affairs had taken, but he spoke with deep
regret at the defeat of the Catholic union in Swit-
zerland. The sentiments expressed by the POPE in
this discourse appear to have created considerable
uneasiness among the Liberal party in Rome, who
imagine that his Holiness is no longer so ardent an
admirer of reform as he was supposed to be a few
months ago.
The process against the leaders of the detnonstra-
tion, which took place in Rome some time ago, in
favour of the Swiss Diet, was about to commence.
One of the persons compromised in this affair is
the son of the celebrated CICERONACCHIO.

It certainly does seem somewhat remarkable that
the POPE should thus take part in Switzerland with
those who in Italy have been his bitterest enemies.
Has his Holiness found Jesuit intrigue and Austrian
domination such blessings to his own country, that
he would fain impart them to Switzerland also? or
does he seek to overthrow temporal tyranny merely
to establish sacerdotal domination in its place ? Surely
the Liberals of Europe have not been labouring all
this time under a delusion, and mistaken a mere
Ghibbeline for a patriot !

The Journal de Constantinople of the Bth says that
VELENTZAS, PAPACOSTAS, BALATRO, DIMITRI DAIG-
ADJIII, and YANI CONDOYANI, who, as is well known,
held high ranks in the Hellenic army, and were in
insurrection against the Tzavellas iklinistry, have
left the Greek territory with 163 of their partisans,
and have presented themselve before the local autho-
rities of Larissa, from whom they demanded per-
mission to serve in the Ottoinan army, declaring
themselves desirous of becoming subjects of the
Porte. The Governor-General of Thessaly, residing
at Larissa, MAHIB MEHEMET PAULA, has confined
himself to receiving the deserters with kindness,
granting them hospitality till the Imperial Govern-
ment shall have determined what reply their demand
should meet with.

Madrid papers of the 22d have arrived.
The Gage/a publishes a decree appointing General
Ros DE OLANo Captain-General of the Spanish pos-
sessions on the Mediterranean coast of Africa. The
Governor of Ceuta, General Aprroxio ORDONNEZ, is
made Deputy Captain-General, and the government
of Melilla is conferred on General IGNACIO CHACON.
It was reported in Madrid that the Minister of
Finance, Senor ORLAND°, had resigned, and that his
portfolio had been confided ad interim to Senor
BELTRAM DE Lis, the Minister of Marine.

MADRID BOLSA, DEC. 22.—The Three per Cents.
were done at 28 1-16th, at fifty days; the Five per
Cents., at 16, at forty-nine days; th. Debt without
interest, at 5, for paper; and the Coupons at 101, at
forty-nine days.

We have received the French papers of Tuesday.
The King's Speech, of course, is the great subject
of comment. There was a ,slight fall in the funds
when the contents of the Speech became known on
the Bourse, occasioned by the more than usual
vagueness of the announcements made by the KING.
The passage alluding to the proposed measure of
postal reform was received with marks of approba-
tion, and that relating to Switzerland with profound
silence. The paragraph announcing the appointment
of the Due D'AUMALE to Algeria was received with
loud cheers, as was the concluding paragraph of the
Speech.
The Ministerial evening journal, the Moniteur
Parisien, thus comments on the paragraph in the
Speech relating to Switzerland—
" The paragraph relative to Switzerland sets forth
and maintains the true principles of that important
question. Those principles are those which the
France of July and her Government have invariably
proclaimed and asserted in Europe every time any
serious difficulties presented themselves. It is not
only through respect for the maintenance of treaties,
it is also for the preservation of order in Switzerland,
that France, in accord with the other great European
Powers, offered to the Helvetic Confederation her
friendly mediation. If France condemns and deplores
events solely calculated to produce fatal, or, at least,
sterile agitations, she will, on the other hand, be ever
ready to promote with her good wishes and her moral
support, ameliorations tending to increase the empire
and blessings of civilization, when effected in an orderly
manner, and by the combined efforts of nations and
their Governments."

The Conservateur has the following on the changes
which will probably take place in Italy consequent
on the death of MARIA LOUISA :

" The death of the Archduchess Maria Louisa,
Duchess of Parma, will have, according to all pro-
bability, important consequences for the affairs of
Italy, although that Princess had personally no po-
litical importance. We explained in one of our
recent 'lumbers the strategic value of the position of
Pontremoli; it is the key of the passage between the
states of the King of Sardinia and those of the Grand
Duke of Tuscany. In 1815 Austria employed all its
efforts to have the possession of Pontremoli awarded
to it. The Congress of Vienna refused that; it
would not consent that Austria, already so powerful
in Italy, should, by establishing herself in a military
manner in that position, keep in perpetual check the
kingdom of Sardinia and the grand duchy of Tuscany,
and thereby, in fact, reduce both of them to the state
of simple vassals. The Congress even refused to
award Pontremoli to the duchy of Modena, or to that
of Lucca, from the fact that Austria had a right of re-
version of those two duchies. In virtue of the decision of
the Congress, Pontremoli and its territory were there.
fore awarded to the Grand Duke of Tuscany, although
geographically separated from the states of that
Prince, and surrounded by those of the duchy of
Lucca. We have already had occasion to make
known how, in virtue of subsequent arrangements
between Austria, Tuscany, Lucca, and Modena,
Pontremoli was to be incorporated in the latter duchy,
when Lucca should pass to Tuscany, and how the
Duke of Modena hastened to demand this incorpora-
tion when recently the Duke of Lucca ceded his prin-
cipality to the Grand Duke of Tuscany. Our readers
know the extreme repugnance which was manifested
by the inhabitants of Pontremoli at the idea of be-
coming the subjects of the Duke of Modena. All
Italy echoed their protests. One might have feared
at one moment that the people, hastening from the
neighbouring states, to preserve them from the lot
which threatened them, a war would break out on that
almost imperceptible point of the Peninsula, which
war would have soon extended to all its surface. It is

_ ..-
that which causes the destiny of that little district
to have now so much importance, and it is that
which makes the death of the Duchess of Parma a
matter of general interest for Italy. Accord-
ing to the opinion of the King of Sardinia, who
was chosen as arbitrator in the difference relative
to Pontremoli, which arose between Tuscany and
Modena, the possession of Pontremoli ought to be
' awarded to the Prince who is called to the heritage
of the Duchess of Parma, that is to the Duke of
Lucca. The Grand Duke of Tuscany and the Duke
of Modena have already adhered to the proposition of
the King of Sardinia; it only remains to obtain the
adhesion of the Duke of Lucca and of Austria. The
Duke of .Lucca cannot make any difficulties, since he
gains by the arrangement. Austria, it is true, may
desire to oppose both, in the hope of one day possess-
ing Pontremoli, if it should remain awarded to the
duchy of Modena, on account of the right of rever-
sion which it has to'that duchy. But it is permitted
to us to hope that its spirit of wisdom will induce it
not to sacrifice to this distant and uncertain hope a
combination which must contribute to assure the
tranquillity of Italy. The influence of Austria will
still remain sufficiently great in Italy—greater than
even the Congress of Vienna desired. As to the in-
habitants of Pontremoli, they will no doubt regret to
exchange the domination of the Grand Duke of Tug- ,

cany for that of the Duke of Lucca, or, to speak
more correctly, of the Duke of Parma; but they will
have some consolation in thinking that they escape
that of the Duke of Modena."

The Paris Chamber of Commerce mat on Monday,
and the Prefect of the Seine made to them his annual
report of the administration of the affairs of the city
of Paris during the year 1847. 9,000,000 f. had been
expended by the city during the 11 months the
municipal council found it necessary to vote funds for
the distribution of bread tickets. The number of the
latter amounted to 33,000,000, and no less than
464,000 persons were relieved. Another million has
been granted to different charitable institutions. In
addition to those supplies, considerable sums had been
employed to procure labour for the working classes.
Thus 1,600,000 f. were laid out in constructing the
hospital of Louis Philippe; 400,000 E in repairing and
extending the hcspitals of La Pitie, St. Antoine, La
Charitie, Necker, &c. ; 700,000 f. in building new
schools; 1,800,000 f. in repairing edifices belonging
to the city of Paris, churches, markets, barracks
colleges, &c. ; 6,000,000 f. for the improvement of the
streets and the opening of new ones, &c. On the Ist of
December the tolls levied at the gates had produced
34,300,000 f., or 1,200,000 f. less than in 1846, partly
owing to a reduction in the tax on meat. The savings
banks were seriously affected by the crisis. During
the first eleven months of 1847 the lodgments were
only 29,600,000 f., whilst they had amounted during
the corresponding period of 1846 to 34,200,000 f. The
withdrawals, moreover, exceeding those of 1846 by
3,000,000 f. The exports of the city of Paris declared
at the Custom-house not only maintained themselves,
but even presented an increase of 4,000,000 f. Down
to the Ist of December last the ordinary exports
amounted to 82,709,929 f., and those with premiums
to 72,442,693, forming together 155,000,000 f. The
sum total for the entire year will be about
174,000,000 f. Previous to 1830 the exports never
exceeded 80,000,000 f., and in 1831 they had fallen to
60,000,0001'. Notwithstanding that prosperity of the
Parisian trade, the failures had augmented in a con-
siderable proportion, owing in 'a great measure to the
sudden variations in the prices of the public stocks and
shares. On the Ist of December their number was
1,204, or 368 more than in 1846.

The new daily postal communication between Lon•
don and Paris is to commence simultaneously to-
morrow, as well through Boulogne as through Calais
and Dover.

BANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner Evs.m.)
IN RE W. B. AND C. G. BRODIE.
- .

• This was a meeting. for proof of debts, and last
examination of these bankrupts, who had carried on
business as bankers at the Salisbury Bank.
A great number of proofs were admitted, but were
chiefly on notes of the bank.

Mr. PAIN, on the part of the assignees, objected to
a proof tendered on behalf of Mr. Bouverie, on a
joint bond given by one of the bankrupts and a third
party, and it was contended that as the other obligor
was solvent, he must be called on, and compelled to
pay before any proof could be admitted against this
estate.

On the part of Mr. Bouverie, it was urged that
the money was paid to Mr. Brodie, who paid interest
on it.

His HONOUR held that the bond was a joint bond,
and, therefore, that the proof could not be admitted
whilst there was a solvent obligor.
The accounts not having been yet filed an appli-
cation was made for an adjournment of the last exa-
mination, which was granted. Since the issuing of
the fiat several Crown extents have been put in on
the property, but which have been paid out.

SHERIFFS' COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
The cases this morning were of no interest, being
chiefly of bills of Exchange, the principal cases having
been withdrawn.

BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
Abraham Stewart, lately in the service of Mr.
Daggan, a contractor, was charged with stealing a
load of bricks.

It appeared that on Monday week the prisoner was
employed to cart a load of bricks from a barge lying
at fluogerford to a house in Newport-street. It was
shown that up to half-past eight o'clock that morning
he had not delivered them, and that at a quarter-put
eight he had already returned to the wharf with the
empty cart. Up to the time the prisoner was taken
into custody he insisted that he had delivered the
bricks.
He was committed for trial.

iIIARLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY.)
Robert Watson, a licensed victualler, residing at
No. 90, Berwick-street, Soho, was brought before
Mr. Bingham, charged with assaulting his wife,
Harriet Watson.

The complainant, whose face wcs dreadfully bruised,
said on the preceding• night, about nine o'clock, she
was standing in the bar, when defendant, without the
least provocation, struck her a tremendous blow in
her face. She called out, and he struck her again,
and blackened her eyes. Her mother, who was in
the bar parlour, hearing her cries, came to her aid, and
the defendant was given into custody.
The defendant admitted the assault, and said he
was very much aggravated by complainant and her
mother.

Mr. BINGHAM said the prisoner had been guilty of
an unmanly and covrardly assault upon a defenceless
woman. He should fine him 51. for the assault, and
ordered him to find two sureties to keep the peace
towards his wife for the next three months.

THAMES.—(THIS DAY.)
Andrew Manquin was charged with cutting and
wounding Mary Manquin, Ms wife, with intent to do
her some grievous bodily arm.
The prosecutrix refused to press the charge against
the prisoner, but Mr. Ballantine said these murderous
assaults had latterly become of such frequent recur-
rence that he was determined such ruffians should no
longer escape because their unfortunate victims would
not press the charge against them ; and accordingly
Police-constable H 51, having been sworn, deposed
that last night his attention was attracted to 18,
Wills-place, Gower's-walk, Whitechapel, by hearing
loud screams of murder and police. Some women,
too, came running out of the house, and said a man
was killing his wife. On entering the house and
proceeding up-stairs, he found the prosecutrix
lying on the floor, and her face was completely
covered with blood. She said her husband had done
it all with the leg of a table, and she wished him to
be taken into custody, which was done, and she herself
was conveyed to the London Hospital. The constable
concluded his evidence by handing the magistrate a
certificate from the house surgeon of the hospital,
which stated that the woman's face was very much
lacerated. On their way to the station-house the
prisoner broke away, and again struck his wife.
Mr. BALLANTINE said he was determined, if pos-
sible, to put an end to the disgraceful assaults of men
on their wives. He should order the prisoner to find
two good and substantial sureties to keep the peace
towards his wife.

Not being provided with the requisite bail he was
locked up.

THE CHOLERA.--A letter from St. Petersburgh of
the 14th instant states that the cholera had not yet sub•
sided at Moscow. Between the 29th of November and
the 6th of December there occurred in that city 231
' cases, and 112 deaths ; in all, since the appearance of
the scourge, 2,795 cases, and 1,419 deaths. The epi.
demy, however, appears to be stationary, and to have
lost much of its intensity. Thus, in the government of
Twer it was confined to the district of Torschok ; it
completely ceased at Kazan on the 23d, and at Situbirsk
on the 24th of November. In the Government of
Oremburg it still prevailed in the localities where it
originally manifested itself. In the districts of the Go-
vernments of Mohilew, Tschernigow, Kiew, and Pol-
taws, which are watered by the Dnieper, the cholera
presented a more epidemical character.
MATRIMONIAL DIFFERENCES.--A yacht has arrived
at Portsmouth within the last few days, the owner of
which is married to the daughter of a Noble Lord of
much celebrity in the naval service. He has been in the
Mediterranean some considerable time, and has now re
turned minus his lady, who absented herself, unknown
to the husband, at the last port the yacht touched at.
The father of the gentleman was many years Member
for a county in the south-west of England, but is lately
deceased, and the marriage was contracted contrary to
the wishes of the parents.
BOLTON.--THE INTENDED TURN-OUT.—We are
very glad to state that the general turn-out, which was
expected to take place to-day, in consequence of a re-
duction of wages, has been avoided by the hands agree-
ing to take 10 per cent. less than they have hitherto re-
ceived. The mills, therefore, are all at work.—Man-
cheater Guardian,

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE

The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday closed with
a considerable degree of firmness. Sales, 5,000 bales,
of which 4,000 were American, at 4id. to 6d. per lb.
The qualities of American, under 4id. per lb., have
advanced id. per lb. since Friday last, and those at
about 4id. have risen id. per lb. In other sorts there
was no alteration. Railway shares improves! again,
and a fair business was doing.
The sale of railway shares yesterday, by Messrs. La-
mond and Co., was quiet, with a fair business. We sub-
join a few of the quotations:—

The Biitannia steamer from New York has not yet
arrived, but we have accounts two days later by a line
of packet ship. The prospects of the Cotton crop were
still satisfactory. One party writes:—
" The fine weather that we have experienced for the
last two months still continues, and up to this date, we
have had no important frost in the Gulf regions. The
unusually late period of the latter, unexpected as it has
been from the collateral circumstances of the season, and
the fine opportunity that planters have enjoyed for
saving the crop, must exercise some influence upon the
final field. This will not be, however, to the extent
that is generally imagined. Public impression is very
apt when it takes a particular direction to run into ex •
tremes, and now looks only to a long spell of fine wea
ther, overlooking the disasters of the past. In making
estimates of the crop, however, both should be taken
into the account, and at least a proximate value given
to the real effects of each, It is not to be forgotten
that up to the Ist of October, there was but little
cotton saved, particularly in the regions east of the
Mississippi river, and that the month of October has
been the only period in which picking could go on
with any degree of success. The indications, however,
would now seem to warrant an estimate higher than that
I have previously made, and under the state of things
that now exists, it is not improbable that the crop may
exceed my previous views to the extent of 100,000 or
150,000 bales. Should such prove to be the result, it
will have been occasioned entirely by the prevalence of
an unexpected season of fine weather, and an exemption
from frost that has had no precedent. The crop will
now be entirely gathered, and on many plantations pick-
ing has entirely ceased, and if the injury had not been
so serious during the most important period of its
growth, it would have proved equal to the largest that
the country has ever produced ; but experience has de-
monstrated that it has proved impracticable to recover
the damage it sustained at the period."
Concerning the Money Market, we are told, that cash
had been loaned at a rate of interest equal to 20 per
cent. per annum for short periods, and the banks were
drawing in the sums due, owing to the exports of :specie.
The New York Herald states that—

" Stock speculators are patiently waiting the deve-
lopments of the approaching week. It will be fraught
with big events, and give a complexion to financial and
commercial affairs for some time to come. Within the
next week we shall have the steamer's news, with fifteen
days' later intelligence from all parts of Europe; the
meeting of Congress, the President's Message, the re-
ports of the various departments, the most important of
which will be that from the Treasury department. The
President's Message will cover the whole ground relative
to the affairs of the country—to the war, to the pros-
pects and probabilities of a peace, Sze.; but the reports of
the secretaries will give the details."
There is very little news out of doors, and the Stock
Market is flatter, owing to the decline at Paris. Con-
sols have fluctuated from 851 yto 851 and are now
again 851 -a, with a moderate business doing. Exche-
quer-bills have been 9s. to 12s. premium, and India
Bonds, under, 1,0001., are at par. Bank Stock has re-
alised 186 to 1871. The New Three-and-a-Quarter
per Cents. have been 861 to 861 ; and the Three per
Cents. 84i to 851.
The Foreign Securities have been dull again. Mexi-
can have receded to 18 and 17i ; Spanish Five per
Cents. are 18, and the Three per Cents. 30. Brazil
stock has been at 804 ; Dutch Two-and-a• Half per
551 to 551.

Railway shares are flatter, and there is a slight de-
cline in the quotations of most of the English and foreign

lines.
