the treaties of Vienna. France and England would cer-
tainly have taken into serious consideration the inquie-
tudes which the Republic of Cracow might have caused
the Emperor of all the Russias and to the two great
German Sovereigns. But for three to tear in pieces

treaties which had been concluded botween se•zen is a

novelty never before heard of in the annals of diplomacy.
For to-day we shall confine ourselves to these rell,ctions."
The Epoque has an article on this subject, which
from its style we should guess to be from the pen of
M. GunoT himself. It is a most remarkable article,
and in it M. GIJIZOT has passed the most severe con-

demnation of his own policy with regard to Spain and

has shadowed forth the fate which most assuredly
awaits himself, if he do not alter that policy in time.

The following is an extract from this very remark-
able article :

" However elevated a throne may be, it is subject to
the eternal principles of honour. We have the happi-
ness of living in an age in which principles seated at the
depth of the conscience of man form there a tribunal
before which emperors and kings must appear like the
rest of mankind. When the world, still in its semi-

savage state, was only enlightened by the uncertain rays
of the moral theories of philosophers, princes who had
force on their side had a chance of being unjust and
wicked with impunity. But since Christianity has vial•
garised and universalised the fundamental system of
right and duty in all, there is no longer, in any sphere,
an act of violation of what is true, and just, and holy,
that can hope to escape condemnation. In this point of
view the three Governments of Russia, Prussia, and
Austria have lowered themselves in the opinion of their
own people. There is no division in good faith. When
the foreigners have been cheated, natives may also be
cheated, and they who have suppressed the liberties
of one town may be justly suspected of being capable
of suppressing the liberties of twenty others. If we
were citizens of St. Petersburgh, Berlin, or Vienna, the
fate of Cracow would give us ground for reflection."
The French of all parties agree with M. GUIZOT
in thinking that when foreigners (Spanish and
English) have been cheated, natives (Frenchmen)
may likewise be cheated. They, too, are of opinion
that those who have suppressed the liberties of one
town (Madrid, for example), may be justly suspected
of being capable of suppressing the liberties of twenty
others, and to the citizens of Paris, Bordeaux, and
Marseilles the fate of Spain gives ground for serious
reflection.
M. GUIZOT has laughed at the English protest
against the Montpensier marriage, holding it to be an
absurdity to protest against un flit accompli, and yet
in the case of the annexation of Cracow, we find that
M. GUIZOT himself proposes to commit this very
absurdity. " France and England," says the Epoque,
" cannot, and certainly will not, accept without re-
servation and energetic protests, the perpetration of
the fact in question. M. GUIZOT has given pledges
on this point which we cannot suppose he will violate.
Lord PALMERSTON, on his side, has given even more
precise and positive pledges, and he would deceive
the whole world if he should forget them."
The Legitimatist journal the France say—"
GUIZOT flatters himself to turn this affair to account
as regards England. He will say to her, "If you
had not abandoned me, we would have protested in
concert against the powers of the north. Suffer,
then, the punishment of the isolation to which you
have condemned me." We doubt, however, whether
this mode of reasoning will offer much consolation
for M. Grimm'. England, although she signed the
treaties cf 1815, is very little interested as to whether
the Republic of Cracow be incorporated or not. The
revolutionary Government of France, on the con-
trary, has for sixteen years set itself up as the official
protector of the Polish cause—of that cause which
in the town of Cracow, is about to lose its last
bulwark."
The Journal des Debats contradicts the report that
Rear-Admiral MONTAGUIS DE LA ROQUE, Command-
ant of the African station, had received orders to re-
turn to Toulon, in consequence of disease infecting
the crews of his ships.
The announcement of the annexation of Cracow to
Austria has produced an extraordinary sensation in
Paris, and created a panic on the Bourse.

WESTMINSTER IMPROVEMENTS.—Yesterday a pri-
vate meeting was held at the residence of Charles
Hindley, Esq., M.P., in Dartmouth street Westminster,
for the purpose of taking into consideration the West-
minster improvements. A great number of parties who
areinterested in the proposed new streets were present,
among whom were Charles Hindley, Esq., M.P., Dr.
Bowring, M.R. Colonel Short, Sir General de Lacy
Evans, M.P., Dr. Payate, &c. &c. Upon the motion of
Dr. Bowring, General Sir de Lacy Evans took the chair.
He said the meeting was a preliminary one, for the pur-
pose of taking into consideration the proposed West•
minster improvements, and that they intended to make
a new street from Westminster Abbey to James-street,
Buckingham gate. Mr. Thine, who appeared for Lord
Darmouth, said he was instructed by his Lordship to
say that his Lordship would give 1001. towards the pre-
liminary expenses. Several gentlemen addressed the
meeting, among whom were Dr. Bowring and Charles
Hindley, Esq. It was stated that Rigby Wason's
line
would not carry out the object of the meeting. It was
also stated that at a recent vestry the parish had agreed
to allow a certain portion of the poor-rate towards the
completion of Wason's line, on the following terms:—
" That the Commissioners should first spend 75,000/. of
their own money, and when they had purchased pro-
perty with that sum, the Government were to back their
debentures for 20,0001., after which the parish would
allow them the improved rate for thirty years. ' After
some discussion, a committee was appointed to wait upon
the Commissioners of Woods and F orests.
FIRE AT SOUTHAMPTON.—SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY.
—An alarming fire broke out at eight o'elock last eve-
ning, on the premises of Mr. Jones, the eminent coach
builder, above bar, in this town. Flames were seen to
i• sue at the above hour from the workshops in the rear
of Mr. Jones's house, and the fire made such rapid pro-
gress that before water could be procured the roof had
fallen in. The flames were considerably abated by ten
o'clock, but net until they had destroyed the whole of
Mr. Jones's workshop, some stabling in the occupation
of Mr. Hurst, livery stable keeper, and several small
tenements in the rear. It is feared that Mr. Jones, who
is highly respected, and for whom there is much sym-
pathy felt, has been a great sufferer by this unfortunate
event. The horses were removed without injury. Much
property was removed, but greatly injured by an uncon-
trolled mob. It is supposed the fire originated by a
spark flying from the forge into one of the stables.
The. notice of some of the colliers, west of Dudley,
for a rise of ls. per day, terminated on Saturday. They
have since quietly resumed their work, at the old rate of
wages,—Shrewsbury Chronicle,
