THE SUN, LONDON, THUR'SDA It EVENING, SEPTEMBFR 7, tuft

have already enabled the people of this country to
judge • fur themselves as to the manner in which this
determination has been carried out, by giving the
first accusation and the first reply in our impression of
yesterday. At present, therefore, we shall simply
glance at some of the more conspicuous passages in
the defence. One sentence, perhaps, more than all
the rest put together, filled us with profound emo-
tion on its perusal—we mean that sentence in
which M. DE LAMARTINE observes that very
soon after the outbreak of the revolution
he conceived the idea of abolishing the penalty of
death for political offences, and that, to use his own
expression, " the same inspiration descended about
the same time from heaven into the breasts of his col-
leagues." He adds that after the abolition of death
was unanimously voted, the members of the Pro-
visional Government fell into the arms of each other,
and gave each other the kiss of life. " Was this,"
exclaims LAMARTINE, "was this, I ask of you, a
concession to the executioner or to GOD ?" As to the
charge of his complicity with Communism, he con-
tents himself with referring to the speech delivered
by him to the Communist artisans when they
descended en masse upon the Hotel de Ville, a speech
which was quoted the day afterwards in the
columns of the 11Ioniteur, and in the course of which
he made that memorable declaration, that if he were
to be placed at the month of twenty pieces of cannon
he would never sign the phrase Organization du
Travail. A declaration, it must be acknowledged,
wonderfully indicative of weakness! Notwith-
standing such striking evidences as this, M. DB
LAMARTINE finds himself accused of making cowardly
concessions to the multitude. In answer to this, he
refers to his having, again and again, on the
night of the 25th of February, repelled the
red banner of sedition at the risk of his
lite—to his peremptory rejection of the de-
mands made by a vast crowd on the occasion
of the famous demonstration of March, to the remarks
with which he responded to the partizans of Poland,
and to the refusal which he gave to the demands of
the Irish demagogues. All of these occurrences,
of course, affording signs of unparalleled pusil-
lanimity ! As to his having secretly promoted the
attempts of armed propagandism against Belgium,
Germany, Savoy, and other countries, he appeals for
the denial of this assertion to those parties who would
be most certain in the event of his guilt to pronounce
his condemnation :
" Yes," he cries, " I appeal to all Republics, to all
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 calm
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 eleetors,
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 ten 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
MARTINEI of the three glorious months of his Admi.

nitration—a defence as pure as his life, as eloquen
as his poetry, and as generous as his heart. Thai

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
revolutions.

The session and the season draw to their close, the
echoes of St. Stephen's no longer resound with Par-
liamentary orations, and the streets of May-fair no
more re-echo with the midnight roll of carriages.
London is rapidly returning to its state of primitive
desolation; hereditary and representative legislators,
weary with many months of arduous and monotonous
exertion, seek a temporary relaxation in private and
provincial life. Peace be with them ! May their
hours of idleness give them new vigour for future la-
bours. The present session has drawn to its close at
an inauspicious period. The disturbances in the
sister country have cast a gloom over our political
horizon. Happily the mists are now dispersing.
Th 3 threatened tempest has melted harmlessly away,
Still, the disturbances and the apprehended disturb-
ances on the other side of St. George's Channel
have frustrated an event which was to have marked
the termination of the season—namely, her MA-
JESTY'S long-projected visit to Ireland. There are
few political or semi-political events which we should
hail with such sincere exultation as Queen VIC-
TORIA'S visit to her Irish dominions, and, it is need-
less to add, her hearty reception by her Irish sub-
jects. It is certainly needless to say that her recep-
tion would be a hearty one, her MAJESTY would be
hailed with enthusiastic transport by that warm-
hearted, generous, and impressionable people. Her
visit would be no ordinary royal visit—it would be
an event in the national history. VICTORIA would
appear in Ireland not as a sovereign among her subjects
she would come as the angel of peace, as the harbinger
of hope, as the living evidence of the unity of the
British empire ; and, above all, her visit would
attest that truth which we continually assert, and
which the Irish malcontents as continually deny, that
Ireland is not despised and neglected, and unjustly
used. Queen VICTORIA'S visit to Dublin Castle
would infallibly do all this, and infinitely more, but,
unhappily, that visit is again necessarily retarded for
a time. 'We recognise the necessity, but we regret it
most unfeignedly. We will trust, however, and our
" wish" is most certainly "father to the thought,"
that, ere long, our anticipations in this respect may
be realised, and that the Queen of IRELAND may be
welcomed in one of the most beautiful portions of her
dominions by the most devoted of her subjects.
We anxiously look forward to the day—Gon grant it
be not distant—when peace shall again abound in
Ireland, and not peace only, but comfort and content..
ment—when the voice of the malcontents, of those
evil-disposed men who would gratify a personal vanity
or a mad ambition though torrents of blood should
flow in the attempt, shall be no longer heard ; or, if
heard, unheeded. Unhappily, these political fire-
brands have recently been only too effectual. Their
words found a ready echo in the bad hearts whom they
appealed to. Heaven knows, the Irish people have
been sorely tried, and none have recog
nised the extent, or sympathised with the heavi•

ness of their trials, more readily and more heartily,
than the people of England. In this we have done
only right—" Are we not brethren ?" That we
recognise the relationship has been? unmistakeably
attested by our sorrow for their sufferings and our
assistance in their need. Would that the Irish on

their side would recognise the relationship ! Would
that they would see in us not Saxons and strangers,
but fellow-countrymen and fellow-Christians. They
will do this yet we trust. All may yet be well. The

severe measures recently adopted by the Legislature
have been sanctioned, and even rendered merciful,
by the exigency:of the case. It is the first duty of
the Government to repress tumult and disorder, but
that being repressed, peace and order being again
established, it becomes an object of paramount im-
portance to prevent any similar recurrence. Now is
the time to put the shoulder to the wheel, and, by
the help of Heaven, the regeneration of Ireland will
be very speedily achieved. Now is the time for
English And Irish to forget their routpal dissensions

and forgive their mutual wrongs. Now, especially, is
the time for Irishmen to attest the genuineness of
their patriotism, of that patriotism which seeks not
notoriety for a few but the benefit of all. Let the
Irish patriots stand forward there is room
for them, and their advent will be hailed
with sincere joy, with joy nowhere more sin-
cere than on this side of the Channel. Let
the patriots of Ireland, the truefriends of their country
and the lovers of their countrymen, come forward—
there is work for them to do. Let them teach the
starving peasant that the remedy for his sorrows is in
his own right hand, but that that hand must grasp the
ploughshare and not the pike. Let them teach the
clamourers for repeal, that the welfare of Ireland de-
pends more on her people than on her Parliament.
Without moral courage, steady industry, and un-
swerving perseverance on the part of the people them-
selves, a Parliament at College-green would be only
an addition to their grievances. These and many
other similarly important truths have yet to be im-
pressed on the minds of the Irish people. If the pre-
sent opportunity be made use of for that purpose, the
vacation may be productive of more benefits than the
session.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the French papers of yesterday.
General CHARRON has been appointed Governor-
General of Algeria. General CHAREON 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•
MORICIERB 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 Caurrier de Lyon says that telegraphic orders
have been received at Toulon far 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•
elusive 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 aro 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 Iliessager 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 Moniteur '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,
the old
coming from the direction of Cures, passed along
Rue Royale, at Montivilliers, in a large waggon,
over
which they imprudently displayed a white flag. They
were at once hailed with cries of A has les Chouans et
la Banniare de la Legitimite l' 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. Oa
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 by
order of General CAvAiGnac, M. DE CALONNE, the
chief editor, and M. MAGNE, the director of that
journal, brought out a successor to it, entitled the
Bouehe 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 :
" 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 o
Lyons."

The Guia del Comercio states that the price of
wheat at Caceres, Estremadura, at this moment, is
only 22 reels per fanega, which is about 235. per
quarter, yet, with all this low state of prices and
great abundance, it is doubted whether any very
considerable quantity could be sent to England,
owing, first of all, to the enormous expense of
transport to the coast, from the defect, or rather
absence, of means of communication, and also partly,
to the great rise of prices occasioned by a demand to
any extent. The letter quoted in the Guia com-
plains of the abundance, and blames the farmers for
sowing so much, and thereby encumbering them-
selves with a crop which is of no adequate value, as
they have no means of getting rid of it to advantage;
and this is pretty much the case with other corn dis-
tricts in Leon, Salamanca, &c., though the naviga-
tion of the Douro affords some facilities to the latter.
At Santander, which is the port to which wheat is
usually sent from Castille, the average price during
last month was 42 reels per fanega, or about 445.
per quarter.

The Carlists are acting with great vigour in the
provinces. CABTELLS has placed Bergs, in Upper
Catalonia, in a state of blockade, in consequence of
its not having paid its contribution to him. IL: has
placed a small force to watch the place, and has dis-
patched orders to the neighbouring villages pro-
hibiting the inhabitants from holding any intercourse
with Bergs, an order which they have implicitly
obeyed. On the 23d ult. not an individual entered
the town. FORCADELL is at Beceite, organizing his
men. He is at the head of an imposing force, and if
he had arms to give all his men, the throne of ISA-
BELLA would be in great danger.

After more than three weeks' debate on the ques-
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 theni 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 Ministry, inasmuch as
the principleof no compensation, a principle on which
the Cabinet had staked itsexistence, has been recog-
nized.

that as all the Zollverein states had framed
their excise laws upon those of Prussia, the
latter was not entitled to make any al!eration without
consulting those states. The reports having been
read, the House proceeded to discuss the first article,
which was supported by M. HANSLMANN 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. SCIINEIDER,
TEczNowsxr, and several others, vigorously opposed
the Bill, which, neverth' less, 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.

Count LODEN, a Noble of Pomerania, has convoked

purpose of watching the proceedings of the National

The cholera is on the increase in Berlin. The

CITY, QUARTEIt TO THREE.
The Cotton Mat ket. at Liverpool yesterday was T,teady.
Sales, 4,000 to 5,000 bales. There was very little doieg
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 offieiel 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 useful 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-Geiteralship,
on the plea of the indisposition of Lady Elgin. It is true
that her Ladyship is iu 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
raider 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 or tar
to create a demonstration of public feeling in their
favour, than an attempt recently had recourse
to in Montreal by a member of the Executive
Council to get up a public meeting of
the Irish people, there to pass a vote of
confidence in the Colonial Government. The Mayor of
Montreal was to have Eskan 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 u 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 Lafoutaines 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 is vacant by thedeath of Judge Jones,
but is presumed that Mr. Sullivan will get the appoint-
menL
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 861 for present transfer, and 86i for Octo
ber. Exchequer-bills aro worth 28s. to 318. 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. 86} to i.
The Foreign Securities have been again at merely
nominal rates. Grenada are quoted 11i, Brazilian 74k,
Bigian Four-and-a-Half per Cents. 70, and Dutch
Two-audit-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.
