We have received the French papers of yesterday.
General CIIARRON has been appointed Governor-
General of Algeria. General CILARRON has served
many years in Africa, and at the time of his appoint-
ment was Director-General of the affairs of Algeria
in the Ministry of War.
The Constitutionnel announces that General LA-
MORICIERE has been appointed to the command of the
Army of the Alps, which is receiving reinforcements
daily. General BEDEAU, who is nearly recovered
from the effects of his wound, will, it is said, succeed
General LAMORICIERE as Minister of War.
Nothing certain is known with regard to the much
agitated question of intervention in Italy, although
rumours of the departure of troops for that country
are daily circulated.
The Courrier de Lyon says that telegraphic orders
have been received at Toulon for the immediate em-
barkation of an expeditionary force for one of the
ports of Tuscany, or of the Pontifical States.
The Nouvelliste of Marseilles of the 3d announces
the embarkation of troops from that port for the
Roman States. It says
" Information, which we receive from a good source,
enables us to affirm that the 20th and 35th regiments of
the line, forming a brigade, have received orders to hold
themselves in readiness to embark this evening. The
destination of these troops remain a mystery. This
brigade will have as auxiliary a battery of artillery,
which arrived yesterday by the Rhone steamer and by
the railway, and a eompany of the 2d regiment of Engi-
neers,about 150 strong. An administrative service, with
provision stores, hospital stores, &c., are to accompany
the brigade. It is also positively stated that an orderly
officer of the Minister of War arrived this morning at
Marseilles, bearing the orders relative to the immediate
departure of these troops. In consequence of his in.
structions to the General of Division, the above regi-
ments have augmented their effective force; as, in place
of six companies per battalion, precedently designated,
they are to furnish eight, composed each of 103 men, ex-
clusive of officers and non-commissioned officers. It does
not appear that these troops are destined for an expedi-
tion of war, although each man has 20 cartridges. What
leads us to put forth that opinion?--That full uniform
has been enjoined for every one, officers and soldiers;
and this particularity, which is not ordinary for troops
entering on a campaign, leads to the idea that the
brigade is rather destined to compose a guard of honour
for the protection of the Pope, and to ensure to his au-
thority a prestige which agitators are endeavouring to
wrest from him. The departure of this brigade is sub-
ordinate to the arrival of steamers, which are expected
from Toulon, and to that of the General who is to take
the command of the expedition. That officer, however,
is probably within our walls at the moment of our writ-
ing. These brave regiments will be immediately replaced
in our garrison."
The discussion on the Constitution was continued
yesterday in the National Assembly, and it is not
probable that the Constitution will be voted before
the beginning of November. The Assembly will
then, it is said, adjourn for two months, and re-as-
semble in January for the purpose of voting the or-
ganic laws.
The Alessager of Tuesday evening contains the
following strange announcement :
" A most unexpected candidate is said to be immedi-
ately about to come forward for the Presidency. M.
Thiers is inclined to present himself, in the coarse of
the debate on the constitution, as the only man capable
of founding the policy of conciliation between the Con-
servatives of all shades."
Every day the number of amendments on the draf
of the constitution increases in a frightful manner.
Yesterday twenty-seven were distributed to the As-
sembly, which makes the total number presented
sixty-eight.
Great joy was yesterday occasioned among a cer-
tain portion of the population of the Rue Popincourt
by the arrival of sixty-seven inhabitants arrested
during the journees of June, but set at liberty yester-
day morning. When called into the court-yard the
men:believed they were about to be sent off to Havre,
as they did not know in what position the charges
against them stood, but on learning they were to be
set at liberty they expressed great delight. On
Saturday forty prisoners of the same quarter were
also set at liberty.
The Afoniteur :promulgates a decree, issued by the
chief of the Executive Government, dated August
16, whereby, after reciting that the ordonnance of
16th May, 1830, divided the Academie des Inscrip-
tions et Belles Lettres into five categories, but that it
behoved the Government of the Republic to maintain
the principle of equality in the National Institute,
and as the Academie des Inscriptions, by its resolu-
tion of August 4 in the present year, concurred in
this principle, articles 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, and 69 of
the regulations of the Academy, come to at its sit-
ting of 22d May, 1829, confirmed by the said ordon-
nance of 16th May, 1830, are abrogated ; but articles
62 and 63, which establish a complete equality in
the partition of the indemnity allowed to the Aca-
demy by the State among all the members, is main,
tained.

We read in the Journal du Havre—
" On Sunday afternoon a number of harvest men,
coming from the direction of Cures, passed along the old
Rue Royale, at Montivilliers, in a large waggon, over
which they imprudently displayed a white fla. They
were at once hailed with cries of '
A. bas lea Chgouans et
la Banniare de la L6gitimitiA' and the exasperation ex•
cited in a great number of the citizens by so audacious a
manifestation had very nearly brought on a collision, the
consequences of which might have been deplorable. On
seeing such unequivocal marks of public irritation, the
reapers found it prudent to beat a retreat, and moved off
in the direction of Fontaine."

The day after the Lampion was suspended
order of General CAVAIGNAC, M. DE CALONNE by,
the
chief editor, and M. MAGNE, the director of that journal, brought out a successor to it, entitled the
Bouche de Fer. They were tried yesterday by the
tribunal of Correctional Police, on a charge of having
published a journal without making the deposit of
the caution money. They were condemned each to
a month's imprisonment, and a fine of 200 f.
A letter from Lyons says :-
1 " During the two months and a half since the pre-
mium on the exportation of silks was granted, our cus-
tom-house has sent off silks to the amount of 15,130,000 f,
and consequently the towns of Lyons and St. Etienne
will have received premiums to the amount of 680,000 f.
It is believed that between this time and January next
there will be exported 6,000,000 f. worth of silks, making
the total amount upon which premiums may be claimed
40,000,000 f. The share of St. Etienne in these ex •
portations is proportionally much greater than that of
Lyons."

Courts, to all Ministers, to the Ambassadors of the na-
tions which I am accused of having openly assured,
whilst I secretly deceived. If there be one which accuses
the Minister of Foreign Affairs of complicity, or even
negligence, in the repression of these attempts, if there
be one who does not attest the frankness and vigour of the foreign policy of the Provisional Government, I de-
clare myself convicted of felony."
After pausing upon each of these infamous calum-
nies, and demonstrating their emptiness with a cairn
voice such as belongs only to the serenity of innocence,
LAMARTINE draws his eloquent pamphlet to a con-
clusion. There is something eminently touching
in the tone in which he bids farewell to his electors,
after having shown that they have no reason to
blush for their representative, either as a renegade, a
traitor, or a conspirator. " Citizens," says he,
" accept my adieux. Nominated tea times by you
as a signification, and not as a man, confounded
henceforth in the ranks of simple representatives,
descended from a power too high for my ambition,
and desiring that I may never ascend to it again,
forget me, but do not accuse me. Perhaps (he con-
tinues in a noble spirit of retrospection), per-
haps there was one day in which I merited your
suffrages—it was the day in which I sacrificed them to
concord. For myself, I shall bear you in my me-
mory all the days of my public life. Every time
that I shall cast into the urn a vote of good intent
towards the people of firmness :against faction, of
good for the country, for family, for property, for
society, for conscience, I will say to myself lam
casting your vote with my own—l will say that two
millions are voting through me for this unanimous
Republic, which, in your eyes as well as in mine, im-
plies the interests of all legitimatised by the will of
all, and defended by the hands of all, under the most
free and most potent of governments."
Such has been the vindication published by LA-
MARTINE of the three glorious months of his Admi-
nistration—a defence as pure as his life, as eloquent
as his poetry, and as generous as his heart. That
such a man should have been compelled to write the
apology of such a career is a circumstance which
casts an indescribable shame upon his contemporaries,
and illustrates in a manner altogether without a pa-
rallel the vicissitudes of popularity and the peril of

AUSTRIA
AU.
After more than three S
weeks' debate on the clues-
, tion of the abolition of all feudal dues
with or with-
out compensation, the Constituent Assembly ap-
pointed a committee to examine all the various
amendments (more than 100), and form them into
one proposition. This was accordingly done, and the
proposition was brought under discussion on the 30th
ult. The debate was adjourned till the next day,
when a resolution in favour of the abolition of all
feudal dues was unanimously carried. A stormy
debate, however, ensued on the question whether
there should be compensation for the abolition of
those dues. It was finally resolved that in certain
cases there should be compensation given, in others
not. This vote will save the Mini3try, inasmuch as
the principle of no compensation, a principle on which
the Cabinet had staked itsexistence, has been recog-
nized.

PRUSSIA.
In the sitting of the Prussian National Assembly
on the 2d instant, the report of the central section
upon the proposed law for the augmentation of the
duties on home-made sugars and brandies was laid
before the House. The project, consisting of two
articles, runs thus :—Art. 1. The duties on beet-made
sugar shall be augmented, on and from the Ist Sep-
tember instant, to 2 rix dollars per cwt., and to 3
groschen per cwt. on all red beet grown for the manu-
facture of sugar. Art. 2, The duties on brandies
shall be augmented from 2 to 3 groschen upon each
20 quarts, and from 1 groschen 8 pfennings to 2 gros-
chen 6 pfennings upon brandies made in country dis-
tilleries.

Brandies not made of mealy substances not to be
affected by this law.
The report terminated by proposing the rejection
of both articles, on the ground of their extreme detri-
ment to the agricultural interests, and of their com-
parative insignificant advantage to the State, the
proposed increase being calculated not to produce
more than 120,000 rix dollars. The report,
which is of great length, is drawn up in a protective
and anti-free-trade sense. It combats the statistical
details drawn from DIETRICA tables, and brought
forward by Government in favour of the project.
Some of these details are not without interest. Ac-
cording to them it appears that foreign sugars being
taxed at four rix dollars more than beet, that is, five
instead of one rix dollar per cwt., and the produce of
the latter being about 281,692 cwt., there is a loss to
the state of 1,120,784 rix dollars; that the consump-
tion of raw sugar in Prussia and the Zollverein states
had increased between 1822 and 1845, from '
171,130 cwt. to 1,502,110 cwt., or ninefold,
whereas the population of Prussia, including the
Zollverein population, had only augmented from
about eleven to twenty-nine millions, or little
more than two and a half fold. That, as a
proof of increase of consumption by diminution of
duties, it is indisputable that when the duties on, coffee were reduced in 1784 from 6 groschens to
3 groschens per lb., the excise increased from
300,000 to 500,000 rix dollars; that since the intro-
duction of beet sugar the prices had fallen from
30 to 18 Fix dollars, and in lieu of losing, the State
had considerably gained, as the duties on foreign
sugar had augmented between 1837 and 1845 from
4,300,000 to 6,608,000 rix dollars, an increase of 21 millions. Dietrici estimates the consumption of
sugar to have been 3 41-100 lbs. per head in 1837,
and 5 16-100 lbs. in 1845, a proof that competition
and diminished prices have augmented consumption.
The report declares that the difference of duty be-
tween home and foreign sugar cannot be taken as
saybasis
mo fa
kceosmuppa rtih son,e
tity of beet grown in the Saxon (Prussian) districts
as the loss, by inferiority of
is estimated at 130 per cwt., which at 3 groschens
difference. The average quan-
the cwt., would produce 13 r.d. tax, a ruinous tax,
according to the report. The average produce of a
sugar manufactory to set down at 3,000 cwt., hitherto
giving 3,000 r.d., but to be increased to 6,000 r.d., an
increase that would force half the manufacturers to
shut up their works, and thereby throw out of em-
ployment an immense number of hands. The report
on the Brandy Bill contains no statistics ; it is filled
up with reasonings to prove that home-made brandies
so closely connected with the culture of potatoes, and
thence with the vital interests of landowners and I
peasants, should be protected; and moreover adds

AY EVENING, SEPTEMBE

that as all the Zollverein states had framed
their excise laws upon those of Prussia, the
latter was not entitled to make any alteration without
consulting those states. The reports having been
read, the House proceeded to discuss the first article,
which was supported by M. lIANSEMANN and SCHEELE, who, among other facts, stated that the
produce of beet had increased by improved manufac-
ture from five to seven and a half per cent., or fifty
per cent, and it was the conviction of the Government
that the producers could well support the increase
not of a dollar, but of 20 s. g. Messrs. SCHNEIDER,
TEczNowsicr, and several others, vigorously opposed
the Bill, which, nevertheless, came to a division, and
was carried by 195 to 131, giving Ministers a majo-
rity of 64. The passing of this Bill will be the
forerunner of equal success to that on brandies, and
thus secures the Cabinet for the time.

purpose of watching the proceedings of the National

The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was steady.
Sales, 4,000 to 5,000 bales. There was very little doing
in shares, and prices were lower.
There are no ship arrivals with later news direct from
foreign parts, but we learn that accounts of June 27,
from Monte Video have been received in the United
States, containing the offioial notification by the French
Consul of the raising of the blockade of Buenos Ayres.
What the next step is to be we shall wait with interest to
see, but we fear there is very little prospect of peace.
It will be useftil to notice, as tending to elicit the
real facts of the case, that private and commercial letters
from Canada by the last mail present a continuous
statement of the political and commercial embarrass-
ments of the province, and what adds, it is stated, to the
general feeling of discontent is, that Lord Elgin is re-
ported to be about to resign the Governor-Generalship,
on the plea of the indisposition of Lady Elgin. It is true
that her Ladyship is in a very delicate state of health,
but some of the writers, perhaps rather unreasonably,
contend that it is not a sufficient ground to leave the
province in its present very unsettled condition. The
last dispatches, it is rumoured, that have been re-
ceived in Downing-street, are not calculated to
render the commencement of the recess very agree-
able to the Noble Secretary of State. Nothing,
it is said, can more clearly illustrate the shifts
the Provincial Government is put to in order
to create a demonstration of public feeling in their
favour, than an attemt recently
member had recourse
to in Montreal by a
of the Executive
Council to et up
a public meeting of
the Irish peogple, thereto p a vo of
confidence in the Colonial Government The Mayor of
Montreal was to Lhave taken the chair; but no sooner
had the object of the meeting become known than it
was interrupted by about two thousand Irish, accompa-
nied with flags and banners, and resolutions of a very
opposite tendency were passed, to the great discomfiture
of the Government, who were driven to such a manceuvre
to sustain their tottering position.
It appears that the French are divided into two par-
ties, the Lafontaines and the Papineaus. The latter is
said to be gaining daily strength, and it is supposed that
he may, out of spite to Lafontaine, join the remnant of
the old family compact party, and oust the present im-
becile Government. In fact, the present state of
things requires, it is urged, a Sydenham or a Metcalf
to put, to rights.
In the midst of these provincial calamities, it appears
that the crops, including potatoes, are above the average.
A judgeship ic vacant by the death of Judge Jones,
but is presumed that Mr. Sullivan will get the appoint-
ment.
Assuming that only a portion of these statements be
correct, they are sufficient to induce inquiry and atten-
tion, for between the Irish, the French, and the sympa-
thisers, there are ample seeds of discontent.
The Funds are firmer to-day, and the settlement of
the account is proceeding favourably. Consols have
been 86 to 864 for present transfer, and 861 1 for Octo-
ber. Exchequer-bills are worth 28s. to 31s. premium;
and India Bonds 235. premium. Bank Stock is quoted
196 to 1971. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents.
have been 87 to 871, and the Three per Cents. 861 to i.
The Foreign Securities have been again at merely
nominal rates. Grenada are quoted 111, Brazilian 741,
Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cents. 70, and Dutch
Two-and-a-Half per Cents. 44i to 44i.
Nothing has been done in Mexican, but the result of
yesterday's meeting is considered satisfactory.
The Railway Share Market has been very flat again,
and several of the old lines have further declined, in-
cluding North- Western, South- Western, South-Eastern,
Midland, &c.

HUNGARY.
The 4411gemeine Zeitung of the 2d instant publishes
the following :
"PESTII, Am. 27.—T0-day's number of the Govern-
ment Gazette contains a royal decree to the Hungarian
Minister of War, to dissolve all the regiments gar-
risoned in Hungary which do not belong to the Hun-
garian Crown, as well as those who are stationed in
other parts of the Imperial dominions, with the ex-
ception of those regiments which are still opposed to the
enemy in Italy. Very gloomy reports are in circulation
in our city. Two couriers have just arrived, and bring
the intelligence that a fresh attack at the Roman en-
campment ttook place last week, but the enemy was
beaten off, with a loss on our side. It is reported that
Jellalich caused Vukovar in Sclavonia, on the Danube,
to be occupied.

BANKRUPTCY.—(THFIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner ANE.)
IN RE 3VRENZIE AND FRASER.
These bankrupts had carried on business as warehou, a-
men in L'ancras-lane, Cheapside, and to.day was is: p-
pointed for them to pasitheir last examination.
The solicitor to the fiat opposed, on the ground that
the accounts had not been properly set out, for although
the partnership did not commence till July, 1847, yeit
that the balance sheet commenced in February, 1847.
when M'Kenzie entered into a composition with his crs'-
ditors to pay five shillings in the pound, but he had paid
some creditors in excess; it would therefore be seen that
that ought not to be entered into the partnership ac-
count, and it would be a question fur the assignees.
whether actions should not be brought against the par-.
ties who had received the money to recover it back.
Mr. Reid, solicitor, said the payments in excess had
been made in consequence of some of the parties was
had agreed to them, therefore Mr. Mlienxie was
obliged to pay in full. As to the objection against the
balance-sheet being a joint balance-sheet, the fact was
that although Fraser's name did not appear till July,
yet in fact he was a partner from February, and adopted
the balance-sheet
His HONOUR said that settled that part of the question.
After a brief examination of Mlienzie and 31r. Bell,
the official assignee being satisfied, the bankrupts were
allowed to pass.

His Grace the Duke of Wellington left town
yesterday morning, by special train, from the London
terminus of the South Eastern Railway, for Walmar
Castle.
