" No, no')?—the old Convention, eith its power to set
down and raise up ! The great majority eff the present
Assembly had shewn itself guided by mod.: retion and
good sense. Abroad, it had resisted the most generous
impulses ; and at home had refused to countenance those
new social ideas which its experience tel I it could not
but be attended with danger. The present Assembly,
therefore, was certain to consolidate and defend, and not
to destroy. Hence, when the constitution was voted,
he felt certain that the Assembly would arlopt it, not
for mere reasons belonging to the present moment, but
for such as belonged to all time—such as would tend to
give a regular and moderate Government to the country.
But experience must be looked on as of the utmost hc-
portance in the consideration of such a subject; and
experiencehad shown that two Chambers were required
to preserve a balance of power in the state. To
create a single Chamber was to establish too great a
power—a power irresponsible. Where was there to be
a moderating power in France with a single Chamber?
In England it was found in the House of.Loids, a body
so remarkable for its traditions, its power, its honour-
able pride of acting well. In America it was found
by the Senate, guided by its federative spirit. Where
was there such a spirit in France? Nowhere—there
was nothing but the democratic spirit. It was in
that spirit, therefore, that the moderating power was
to be looked for. But how? By adopting such a plan
as was set forth in the amendment under discussion—
by dividing the legislative power—by forcing one part
of the democratic power to held a surveillance over the
other.—(Hear. hear.) Was such surveillance necessar3 ?

be amply sufficient, might go a step
a
farther and say that, such being the case, there was no
necessity whatever for the constitution itself. But was
it certain that a democratic Assembly, elected by uni-
versal suffrage, was to be free from passions—was to
always act correctly? Experience proved the con-
trary ; the very acts of the present Assembly,
during the few months it had been sitting, showed
it clearly. Would the Council of State act as a cor-
rective, and supply the place of the second Chamber?
The Honourable Representative examined this question
at some length, and argued that body in question would
not be of more avail now than under the monarchy.
" I stand here," said the Honourable Representative,
" to declare the views of the minority of the Committee;
but I believe that, had the subject been considered on its
own merits only, the decision of that majority would have
been different.—(Movement.) For eighteen years I have
endeavoured to found and consolidate the Legislative
power under the monarchy, with as much sin-
cerity as I shall now endeavour to found and
consolidate that of the Republic —(Agitation ;
loud applause on the right.) For eighteen
years I have opposed the errors of the constitutional
monarchy—of that monarchy which had been lest,
because it bad incurred the hatred of the country ; and
again, I am ready to perform the same task under the
Republic.—(Loud outcry.) Do you suppose that a
democratic Assembly will run no danger? Do you
imagine that there are no impulses to withstand? Be
certain that there are. Well, than, when such dangers
occur, I shall consider it my duty to again stand to my
post like a watchful sentinel. But you may be also
certain that if any serious evil should occur to the
Republic, it can only be from the absence of a moderate
Democratic power."—(Hear, hear.) 'File Honourable
deputy then again referred :to the danger of a single
Chamber as constituting a dictatorship, and concluded
by calling on the Assembly to divide the legislative
power in order to save the Republic from the cruel les-
sons which otherwise the future would reserve to it.—
(Loud applause.)
The Hon. Representative, on descending from the
tribune, was surrounded by his friends, amongst whom
we perceived M. Thiers, Duvergier de Hauranne, and
others, who warmly congratulated him. The sitting
' was suspended for a quarter of an hour.
The Moniteur publishes the following paragraph :-
- - -

" A report has been circulated that the Minister of
Finance was endeavouring to negotiate a loan in Eng-
land. This news is destitute of foundation. If any steps
have been taken in England they were made without the
participation of the French Government, which has no
intention, under the present position of the Treasury, to
make a new appeal to public credit."
Intelligence from Herault states that M. LAissac,
the Republican candidate, has been returned for that
department, in opposition to the Abte DE GENOUDE,
the editor of the Gazette de France and the chief of
the Parti Pretre.

The JSurnal des Debats confirms the accounts
which had been previously received of the defeat of
the Republican attempt of STRUVE at Baden, and
of his flight into Switzerland.
Not only is Paris perfectly tranquil, but it is be•
ginning to recover its wonted gaiety, and business is
fast reviving, not only in the capital, but also in the
provinces.
In the Bitting of the National Assembly yesterday,
the amendment of M. DE ST. HILAIRE to Article 20
of the new Constitution was withdrawn, and the
article itself, which establishes a single Chamber, was
adopted by a large majority. Articles 21, 22, 23, 24,
25 and 26 were also adopted. This sitting was ren-
dered further remarkable by the fact that a negro who
has been returned for Guadaloupetook his seat as a
Member.
The discussion on the article of the Constitution,
which determines the mode in which the President of
the Republic is to be elected, is looked forward to
with great anxiety. The club of the Rue de Poitiers
(composed of the Legitimatist and Orleanist parties,
the leaders of which are M. THIERS and M. La aucHE-
JAQUELIN, of the reactionaries, in short), has deter-
mined to vote for the election of President by uni-
versal suffrage, and for the rejection of all amend-
ments excluding any candidates. The club of
the Palais National (the moderate Republicans)
will vote for the election of the President by the
National Assembly. The Club at the Institute is
divided, and the Club of the Rue laitbout (the Red
Republicans) will vote against the appointment of
any President, except provisionally. It is expected
that the discussion will commence on Monday.
The Duke DE SOTOMAYOR, the Ambassador of
Spain to the French Government, who was to have
presented his credentials some days back, has been
prevented by indisposition.
General MAREY-MONGE, late Governor of Algeria,
has arrived in Paris.
The Corsaire says—" It appears that Generals
CAVAIGNAC And LAMORICIERA are disposed to sup-
port the principle of remplacement militaire. The
Montagne alone will vote against it."

BOURSE—PAnts, THURSDAY, SEPT. 28.
THREE O'CLOCIL—The contradiction by the Moniteur
of the report of the negotiation for a loan of twelve mil-
hone sterling in Li-,ndon produced an unfavourable im-
pression on the Bourse to-day, and the consequence was
a considerable fall in the price of Rentes. The Railway
Shares were also weak, but the fall in them was not so
great as in the Government Securities. The news of the
outbreak at Cologne had also an unfavourable influence.
For the Account, the French Three per Cents. have
fallen 15e.; Five per Cents., 40'., and the Loan, 50,!.
Fur Money, the Three per Cents. have fallen 30c.; the
Five per Cents., 30c.; and the Loan, 55e.; Bons du

PFUEL, Prethdent of the Council and Minister of

IV.zr :-.

In cons:-Ttenec of my appointment as the President
of the Ministry, and the Minister of War, I have the
,nciiir to transmit to you the address of the new Ministry.
His Majesty the King has already stated in a proclama-
tiofl to the army, issued on the Ist of May, his views with
regard to the position which the army was to occupy after
a cl►:aiige in the affairs of the State had taken place. In
the same manner my predecessor, General Von
Schreckenstein, had repeatedly, and finally in a decree
of the 13th instant, declared that the Government of his
Majesty would not support reactionary tendencies, but
continue in the constitutional course it had entered upon.
At the same time the necessity of acting, so as to pro-
mote a constitutional spirit among all classes of the
pnple, was pointed out by him. I hold the same views,
And have determined to oppose all reactionary ten-
dencies. I request you will promote in every manner
possible a good understanding between the civil classes
and the military, and resist the reactionary spirit
among the troops under your command. You will com-
municate this decree to the officers, and direct their
attention to the circumstance that according to the
draft of the Constitution which has been pro-
posed by his Majesty to the National Assembly, the
officers of the army will be obliged to take an oath on
the Constitution in the same manner as. the civil officers
are obliged to do. and that no reactionary tendencies will
clash with the duties of an officer in the army. The

present situation of Prussia and of the whole -German
fatherland is a most difficult one, and the co-operation
of all legal authorities will be necessary to prevent dis-
union, of which the enemies of the country might avail
themselves, and to convince every one that the con-
stitutional liberty granted by our King will not be
endangered, but protected by the armies of our country.
I am aware of the difficulties connected with the du-
ties of the office with which his Majesty has intrusted
me, but I feel certain that you, as well as the officer::
under your command, who have proved their affection
for their King and fatherland, will unite with me to pro-
mote one and the same object.
" VON PFUEL, Minister of War.
" Berlin, Sept. 23, 1848."
Some serious disturbances occurred at Cologne on
the 25th instant. The Kober Zeitung says—
" On the day in question large meetings were got up
on the Altenmarkt, and inflammatory speeches were de-
livered by the editors of the Neue Itheinisehe Zeitung, an
ultra-Radical Cologne paper. A lieutenant of the police
was insulted and ill-treated by the mob, the wooden in-
closure of the market, painted in the Prussian colours of
black and white, was torn up and burnt. The construc-
tion of barricades was then earnestly recommended by
the speakers, and barricades were consequently erected.
Up to this time the rioters had not been interfered with,
for the Civic Guards pretended they were not under
competent orders: At five o'clock their leaders were
summoned before the Commander of the town and for-
tress, who asked them whether they thought their
corps of sufficient strength for the re-establish-
ment of order. They answered in the negative, where-
upon the military were ordered out and artillery
stationed on the Neumarkt and is: front of the Govern-
ment Palace. The gates of the town were closed to
prevent the entrance of riotous mobs from the environs
of the city. Great progress had meanwhile been made
in the construction of the barricades, for here, too, the

Republicans acted upon a preconcerted plan, and the
town was full of agents from Southern Germany.
Hackney-coaches, boats, the timber from the scaffolding
ruuud the cathedral, hearses, and heavy stones were
employed in the construction of the barricades. Several
attempts at sounding the tocsin were made, and the
sturinglocke' of the cathedral was actually put in
motion, when the military entered the town, and arrested
the maleFictors. A red flag was planted on an immense

barricade in the Schildergasse, the gas was turned off from
the street lamps, and shops were plundered. The military,
however, took all the barricades, above eighteen in num
ber, without meeting with any resistance, and though
the riots continued all night, there was no occasion for
the soldiers to make use of their arms, for the mob dis-
persed on the approach of the troops, left the latter to
destroy their barricades, and immediately- set about
building fresh ones in another quarter. Numerous ar-
rests were made. Early in the morning the pavement
was replaced, and the city of Cologne is now compara-
tively tranquil. The military commander has never-
theless thought it necessary to declare the town in a
state of siege, to prohibit public meetings of more than
twenty persons, to disarm the Civic Guards, and to sus-
pend the publication of the Neue ltheinische Zeitung,
and of three more Cologne papers.
The commander of the Burgher Guard addressed
on the 21st a dispatch to General WRANGEL, calling
upon him to explain categorically the following pas-
sage in his general order My mission is to re-
store pu'slic tranquillity wherever it may be disturbed
in these districts, when the strength of good citizens
may be insufficient for that purpose ;" and further
requiring to know whether the troops would act
without being required so to to do by the Burgher
Guard commander, as required by recent laws re-
specting this institution, or whether the passage re
ferred to was intended to imply that the intervention
would only take place upon the requisition of the
communal authorities and committee of public safety.
' To this General WRANGEL returned the following
reply :

"Head-quarters, Charlottenburg, Sept. 23.
"In reply to the communication which the Burgher
Guard commander of Berlin did me the honour to ad
dress to me, under the date of the 21st, I beg to reply,
that as my General Order of the 17th instant has been
discu:sed and set at rest by the Chamber, I no longer
feel myself authorised to enter into explanations upon
the question addressed to me on this subject, but must
request that reference may be made to the explanations
given and openly published by the Minister President.
Had the communication of the honourable commander
been received at an earlier period, I should have felt
sincere pleasure in seizing that opportunity to have re-
turned special answers to all questions addressed
to me, and this with the same candour that has been
exhibited towards me by the most honourable com-
mander. For candour awakens confidence, and never
did I stand so much in need of confidence as in my pre-
sent position. Let the honourable Burgher Guard of
Berlin, which has furnished so many proofs of its zeal
under difficult circumstances, rest assured that I shall
keep strictly within that legal rule, which is a duty that
no one who loves and respects his country should over-
step, and which, after the parade of the 20th at Berlin,
I openly declared in the presence of many officers of the
Burgher Guard.
(Signed) "VON WRANGEL."
In publishing this dispatch yesterday, the Burgher
Guard commander added the following note :
" The Burgher Guard commander cannot discover in
the above communication the required categorical reply
to his questions, and has consequently adopted the
requisite measures to proceed further in the matter at
issue."

In the sitting of the National Assembly on the
25th, the Ministers, in reply to several questions,
stated that they were prepared to carry out the reso-
lutions of thesth Sept , by issuing a monition to the
army to abstain from all demonstrations of a political
character; and declared themselves prepared not only
to resist reaction as well as anarchy, but to consider
themselves bound upon all occasions to adhere to the
resolutions of the majority. These explanations
satisfied all parties in the Assembly.
There was a slight disturbance in the evening
between some soldiers and the people, but the Burgher
Guard interfered, and restored tranquillity before any
serious injuries had been inflicted on either side.

itself. There NV:IS no chance of these chnpters being
ready so soon. He entered into partichlars connected
with the printing and subsequent recision by the
Committee. They would scarcely be ready for a
month.

JORDAN not being present, his interpellation as to
what was being dune concerning the ships purchased
in Hamburgh for the German fleet was not answered
by Herr VON SCIIMERLING; but the latter replied to
VEN EDE Y'S question as to whether the Members of
the Assembly. were subject to the restrictions conse-
quent on the state of siege. He said that, as the
National Assembly had previously passed no excep-
tional resolution in favour of the Members of the
Assembly—none, in fact, that gave them privileges
beyond those of other citizens—the Ministry could
only regard them as being, in all judicial matters, on
the same footing with the other inhabitants of Frank-
fort.—(Cry of " infamous !" from VOGT • great
clamour, SCHAFFRATII, ZIMMERMANN, and VOGT
rising, with several other Members of the Left, the
two former being particularly conspicuous in shaking
their fits at the Minister ; lengthened clamour ; the
President in vain attempting to restore order. Re-
newed cries of " infamous !" SCIIMERLING perfectly
composed. The storm at last subsides.)
SCIIMERLING quietly resumed. He haul something
else to add.—(Suppressed laughter.) The Ministry
was, nevertheless, of opinion that, taking the Parlia-
mentary usage of all countries into consideration,
the arrest of a member could only take place with
the acquiescence of the National Assembly.—(Mur-
murs of satisfaction on the Left, and faint cheers on
the Right and Centre.) As to the state of siege
having been protracted after the restoration of peace,
this only arose from a strong conviction on the
part of the Ministry, that it was their great duty
to protect the Assembly.—(Slight dissatisfaction on
the Left.)
VENEDEY moved—The National Assembly resolves
to call upon the Imperial Ministry to cancel the
state of siege in Frankfort. He moved also for oral
division on the urgency of his motion.
Here followed a long dispute as to how VENEDEY
meant oral division to be applied. The urgency of
the motion was at last tested by oral division. Noes,
2771 ayes, 139; rejected, therefore, by a majority of
138.

The discussion of the fundamental rights was then
resumed, and after an unimportant debate, and dis-
putes as to the order of putting the question, almost
equally long, the following motions, forming section
18, were carried :
" Every German has full liberty to give instruction,
or to found establishments of instruction and education,
with a reservation of the stipulations that may afterwards
be made by supplementary resolutions. —Carried.
Ayes, 180 ; noes, 176.
" Every German is at full liberty to give instruction,
and found establishments of instruction and education,
provided that he be in a condition to prove his moral and
practical capacity before the authorities of the state."—
Carried.

ITALY.

NORTHERN ITALY.

The Risorgimento of Turin of the 23c1 inst., pub-
lishes the following :

"TO THE BRITISH NATION.

THE SOCIETY FOR THE PROMOTION OF THE
ITALIAN CONFEDERACY.

" Britons !—A poet, whose name, dearest to our
hearts, is carved on an obscure tombstone in one of
your church-yards—Ugo Foscolo has said it: " In-
deed, I always find something wicked in an ever-
successful man." Prosperity blinds our judgment
and hardens our heart. We learn to disbelieve the
misery of others, to deny its existence ; or else indis-
criminately to ascribe it to their own imprudence, to
their folly and vice. The words beggar and wretch
have in the language of the wealthy and happy in-
exorably identified misfortune with guilt.
"Nations are taught to be no less sweeping in their
ungenerous conclusions against their brethren.
Government,' you are often told, is always such
as people deserve, such as they make it. No nation
endures thraldom but such as axe too base or too
craven to shake it off.' They trace the finger of
Providence in every work of human iniquity. From
their harbour of refuge they look down on their
tempest-tossed brother and to his outcry make no
answer, save only Help thyself and God will help
thee!'

" This indifference to the sufferings of others, we
would not, 0 ye Britons, attribute to want of feeling
on the part of such of your advisers as are striving to
enlist you in the cause of our enemies. Their very
selfishness has something great and momentous in it.
They would wish you to hurry on to your goal,
heedless of any sound of distress. They wish the
train of civilization to proceed at a terrific rate, even
though thousands and millions be crushed underneath
its wheels. Theirs is the cause of mankind; whether
we follow or are dragged along with it, gives•them no
concern. _ _ _

" It was even men like these that your fathers trusted
with our destinies in 1814. They also wished for
peace on any terms. They sacrificed Venice and
Genoa, all the defenceless and helpless ; they pam-
pered the craving of despots, with utter disregard to
the claims of the people.
Your fathers knew not what they were doing.'
Designing men practised upon their too eager longing
for rest. There was peace. May the tears and blood
that peace cost us be not on their head!
" But now our destinies are once more matter for
your deliberation. You know us better now. We
have spoken loudly and plainly. Our vows shall
not be misrepresented to you. We shall not be sacri-
ficed.

" God has given us a country of our own, a lan-
guage, a national character. You own island has not
inure distinct boundaries than those which separate
us from our neighbours. Our independence and
union was marked out by nature's own works.
" Only, our fathers abused Heaven's gifts, and
their guilt has been visited upon us. Like all
human tribes in ages of darkness, they indulged .
unnatural enmities. But in other lands discord led
to weariness, and prepared the way for that tyranny
which was to force all parties into one bond of unity,
whereas the very energy of our ruthless ancestors
baffled all attempts at subjugation, and could only
.be
reduced by artfully ministering to their jealousies
and perpetuating their feuds.
"The punishment has now reached farther down
than the third and fourth generation. The wrath of
heaven is appeased. We are brothers at heart.
him The
who would put us asunder !
" We come before you, then, ye umpires between
Austria and Italy. We claim Italy as ourmn birth-
right. We will not answer the Orator (*o) who de-
clared before your senate that ' the Austrian Govern-
ment is a blessing to us. Good or bad, we will have
none of it. We will waste no time with those who
contend that we are unfit for self-government. These
are uo matters of dispute. Enough that we will
suffer no one else to govern us.
We have, at last, acquired a will of our own.
Every day,
since that fatal 1814, has found us one
step in advance ; every day stifled a conspiracy,
quelled an insurrection in blool. What of it ? At
first our attempts were scarcely heard of ; now the
world's peace is jeopardised by them !
" Our cities have learned to drive the enemy from
their walls. Our youth to confront him on the battle-
field. The last encounter has proved fatal to our
arms, it is true. It would be idle to enumerate the
causes that led to our disasters. The success is
against us, and the world looks no farther. Your
weekly paper- ascribes it to our anxiety to eat
our maccaroni with a whole skin.' Be it so. Ten
years ago, the very idea of a fight was out of the
question. We have gone so far this time as to
take the field, to keep it as conquerors for four
months. God is great ! The day will come for us
to winit.

" Meanwhile let those who would lead you back
to the policy of 1814 look well to this. To be beaten
is not for us to be vanquished. Every defeat is a
vital lesson to us. Every loss brings us one step
nearer to our goal. Behold ! The sons of every
Italian province have cemented their union with their
blood, on the fields of Lombardy. Notwithstand-

THE; FUNERAL of LORD GEORGE
BENTINCK.—(THIS DAY-)
The funeral of this much-lamented in,bleman took
place this murning at the old parish church of MarY,
lebone, in which the family vault of the noble house of
Portland is situated.
Soon after the arrival of the mail-train from the north
this morning a special train arrive d at the terminus of
the North-Western Railway in Euston-square, which
brought the remains of the deceased Lord. The corpse
left Welbtek Abbey at eight o'clock last evening.
and the inhabitants of the villages through which the
hearse had to pass came out with flambeaux, and other-
wise testified their respect. The body reached the rad",
way station at Eckington about ten o'clock, and in hale
'
an hour the special engine left for London. After
brief delay at the terminus the remains of his Lordship
were conveyed to Harcourt House:
The funeral was conducted as privately
To the very numerous applications of the political friends
of the deceased to be allowed to send their carriages to
follow in the cortege but one answer was given, nomell'
that the Duke of Portland desired the funeral to he
private, and therefore no carriages could be permitted to
join the procession. as ossible.
The Marquis of Titchfield, Lord Henry Bentinck, and
Mr. E. J. Denison arrived at Harcourt House at as
early hour, from Welbeck Abbey; also the principal
domestics of his Lordship's establishment.
The Duke of Portland, from his advanced age and
consequent infirmities, was unavoidably absent.
The Marquis of Clanricarde, Viscount Canning. end
the Bentinck and other connexions of the Ducal house,
were absent from the urgent desire of the Duke of Port-
land that the solemnity should be strictly private.
About half-past nine o'clock, all the necessary Pr'
paratious having been completed, the funeral procesnsio
was formed, and left Cavendish-square.
The hearse was drawn by four horses, sumptuousil
caparisoned.
The first mourning coach, drawn by four horses, con•
tamed the Marquis of Titchfield, and Lord Henry ea-
tinck, M.P., brothers, and Mr. E. J. Denison, Nag
bro:her-in-law of the deceased.
The second mourning coach, drawn by. four horses'
contained the personal attendants of the late Lord,
each coach being escorted on each side by pages.
Next came the private carriage of the Duke of Port
land which closed the funeral cortege.
The mournful procession pursued its route from
Cavendish-square along Harley-street to Devonshire-
street, thence into High-street to the church. There
were some few hundreds of persons attracted to see the
funeral, and crowds collected at the entrance of the
church.
On reaching the church, the body was received by the
Rev. W. H. Charlton, M.A. curate of St. Marylebone+
who preceded the body into the interior, when the coffin
was placed at the west end, under the organ-gallery;
The Marquis of Titchfield, Lord Henry Beutinck, an
Mr.- E. J. Denison were conducted to a pew on tistr
south side, and the funeral service was proceeded With
by the Rev. Gentleman in a deeply impressive mannerl.,
The church was far from crowded. Mr. B. Disraei'
ALP., was present among the congregation.
Shortly before eleven o'clock the mourners and others.
engaged in the mournful ceremony left the church, an°
everything resumed its customary quietude. ft... 1
The coffin was shortly afterwards consigned tel
its
resting place.

decline. On the whole, the demand for that description
of stock was steady at the late depression in value. In
Lambs a moderato business was transacted, at about last
week's quotations. Calves, the supply of which was
large, were a very dull inquiry, at barely late rates. In
Pigs, very few sales took place. Milch Cows were
heavy at from 131 to 171 each, including their small Calf.
