that is born that agrarian Communism which advo-
cates with the fervour of a religious sentiment, and I
believe with a certain amount of sincerity,:t he voluntary
spoliation:of property, a proceeding which would only
result in the general sterilization of the earth. It
is from this that is born that other Communism, still
more fatal, still more dangerous, still more hateful—
if I may be permitted to pronounce the word (not
against men, but against their chimeras)—that word
which has vibrated profoundly in my bosom since
the moment in which I first listened to these deplo-
rable lessons. It is from this that is born that atroci-
ous Communism, which terms property a theft—
which deifies and theorises, so to speak, every effort
at plunder—and which begins its detestable labours,
by shedding over the people the night of Atheism ;
for Atheism is the logic of those social rob•
bers, with whom is forgotten every notion of human
intelligence both in regard to man and in regard to
morality, to the end that that supreme night may de-
scend uponnur heads, in which society will be involved
in a ruin like that of primeval chaos." In such lan-
guage is it that LAMARTINE casts defiance at those
Communists with whom he has been actually charged
with complicity, reserving for the last object of
his irony that particular class " who mistake
a musket for an idea, and a cartridge-box
for a system." M. DE LAMARTINE does not
content himself, however, with repudiating the
political creed of Socialism; he goes further;
he alludes in these terms to the late discussions on
the preamble to the Constitution :

be accepted by the Repealers generally as a satisfac-
tory and conclusive settlement of the question, but
that the partial success would only lead to increased
exertions on their parts until they had attained the
full extent of their wishes.

roically. On the 22d four companies of the Garde
Mobile arrived, when a successful attack was made
upon the hostile forces, which were still quartered
near the city.

And lastly—That, if carried, it would render an
enormous expenditure necessary, and would interpose
great difficulties to the proper carrying on of the pub-
lic business by removing the Ministry and the heads
of the several departments for a portion of every year
from their subordinate officers, from the diplomatic
corps, and the several public bodies, with whom it is
essential that they should have every facility of inter-
course, more especially during the sitting of Parlia-
ment.

New Moldavia was attacked by the insurgents on
the 21st, and burnt to the ground. The BANN re-
turned to Agram on the 20th, and was received with
enthusiastic applause.

On the 28th ult. a commission 'of the Bennet, ac-
companied by a notary, arrived at Fiume with the
notification that the governor of that place, and all
public officers, must instantly quit their posts, and
be answerable that the moneys in the public banks
should remain in Fiume, and not be delivered to the
Hungarian Ministry. Thus Fiume has actually
fallen into the power of the Croations. The people
do not seem to have offered the slightest resistance,
and appear to be contented with the new order of
things.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
Their contents are more re-assuring than they have
been for some days past; and notwithstanding the
appointment of General DE LANORICIERE to the
command of the army of the Alps, there appears
every probability that peace will be preserved. It
appears that General DE LAMORICIERE and M. MARIE
have been endeavouring, by a transaction with ODIL-
LON BARROT, BERRTER, and others, to form a fusion
of all parties, in which he has not succeeded; and
therefore he has, for the present, bid adieu to politics
and accepted a military command. It is also
hinted that be looks with a somewhat jealous
eye on the advancement of General CAVAIGINAC.
This is by no means improbable ; the Aide- de-Camp
of the Duc D'AUMALE can scarcely be expected to re-
gard with satisfaction the Chief of the French Re-
public.

" I only hear debates as to eating and drinking—
as to spoliation and conservation—as to attack and
defence. I only hear the discussion of questions
purely alimentary—of seizure_by the one—of reten-
tion by the other. I do not hear a single thought
which passes the limits of the shopkeeper or the
farm-servant. In truth it appears that you can
efface those three magnificent words, which we pro-
pose to inscribe upon our Constitution—Liberty,
Equality, Fraternity—and replace them by those
two expressions—To buy and To sell. Well !
Shall we allow ourselves to be any longer
deceived ? Shall we allow ourselves to be
any longer divided ? Shall we allow ourselves
to be any longer degraded in the eyes of Europe
and of posterity ? No ! No ! Enough of this
wretched materialism ! Let us return to the
noble path which has been already indicated by the
people of February and by ourselves ! I believe in
the divinity of the soul of France I I know, I feel that
she is only compromised for a moment, that she is
frozen by the panic which miserable predictions and
passions, alas ! as blind as they are perverse, have dif-
fused through the atmosphere of the country, and by
those ill-founded fears which they have imparted to
a property as solid as the sun, and as imperishable as
nature !"

It is said that a dispatch has been received by the
French Government from Baron VON WESSENBERG,
the Austrian Foreign Minister, declining the media-
tion offered by France and England on the ground
that there was every reason to hope that the negotia-
tions at present going on between the Austrian and
the Sardinian Governments would bring the Italian
question to a satisfactory termination.
These papers almost all comment on the QUEEN'S
Speech on proroguing Parliament, and all consider
it as of the most satisfactory character. The Journal
des Debuts says—
" Queen Victoria, yesterday, in person, closed the
long session of the English Parliament. The Speech
which she delivered on the occasion was well received
by public opinion in London, and it has been. equally so
at Paris. In spite of the importance of the events which
have recently taken place in Ireland, and the interest
which is justly attached to them, the passage in the
Speech which was looked forward to with the greatest
impatience at London as well as in Paris was that in
which the Queen would make mention of the relations of
Great Britain with the Continental powers ; or, in other
words, in which she would touch on the question of peace
or war. The public have been much satisfied in learning
that the amicable relations of England with France have
never been interrupted, and that the English Govern-
ment considered it was able through the Royal Speech,
to express a hope that the peace of the world would be
maintained. May this hope not be disappointed ! May
the destinies of European civilisation not be delivered
over to the chances of brute force I This is the wish
which every friend of humanity must form ; it is the
benefit which the union of France and England may se-
cure to the world, and it is what the Speech of the Queen
gives us every reason to hope for."
The coming elections are now exciting much atten-
tion. Prince Louis NAPOLEON has announced him-
self as a candidate, and has declared that, if elected,
he will take his seat. The following is his letter on
this subject, dated London, Aug. 29, and addressed
to General FIAT, who has published it in the jour-
nals

The result of this noble and memorable ap-
peal was triumphant. It showed by one outburst
of enthusiasm that the popularity of LAMARTINE is
not yet altogether extinguished—the Communist
amendment being at once negatived by an absolute
majority of 357 votes. The pamphlet of the great
statesman is already working its miracles among the
Parisians.

Sev.l.al influential noblemen and gentlemen have
given in their adhesion to the project for, what has
ban termed "Rotatory Parliaments," which pro-
mises, for a time at least, to become the subject of
Irish agitation. Repeal has, for the time being, been
placed upon the shelf. The mischievous and reckless
proceedings of the physical force Repealers gave new
strength to Government, and completely paralysed
the exertions of the more moderate party, who did
not contemplate a total separation between the elfin-
tries and an entire disruption of the ties by which
they were connected. Never, perhaps, had the
nation been more perfectly free frcm that
excitement which had led the people to aban-
don those industrial pursuits, by which their
real interests might have been promoted, in the vain
hopes of obtaining some imaginary benefits. An op-
portunity was afforded to the Ministry, if they had
judiciously used the means placed at their disposal,
of-conciliating the entire nation, by showing mercy
to the misguided men who had violated the law, and
who are even now awaiting their trials. So magna-
nimous an act, indicating a full consciousness
of their own power and security, would
be follovved by the most beneficial results
It would prepare the people to receive with grati-.
;ude and confidence measures for the removal of the
grievances under which they have long suffered, and
for placing them upon a footing of perfect equality in
every respect with Englishmen. They would speedily
perceive that an united Legislature would watch over
their interests with as much vigilance, and as faith-
fully guard their rights and privileges, as an Irish
Parliament could possibly do, and the fatal distrust
once being removed, there would be nothing to retard
the full development of the industrial resources of the
country.
It is at such a time, when it was peculiarly desir-
able that nothing should be brought forward again to
disturb and excite the popular mind, that several
well-intentioned, but in our opinion mistaken, persons
have put forward, or rather revived, a project, that
the Imperial Parliament should hold a portion of its
sittings in the Irish metropolis. The committee of
the society have declared their purpose in the follow-
ing resolution, which was unanimously adopted
That in order to remove a misapprehension which
appears to exist as to the object contemplated by this
society, we feel it necessary to declare that it is not a
desire to procure a triennial meeting of the Imperial
Parliament in Dublin for general purposes; but that the
object of this society is to procure an arrangement, by
which the Imperial Parliament shall hold its sittings in
Dublin during such convenient portions of each year as
may be sufficient for the transaction of business more
peculiarly relating to Irish affairs."
This, if we mistake not, is the proposition some
time since submitted to the Liberator, and most une-
quivocally repudiated by him, when he energetically
declared, that he would " have no vagabond Parlia-
ments." It is quite clear that it would not, in any
degree satisfy the conscientious Repealers, who would
be contented with nothing less than an independent
National Legislature, and we believe, that none of
the party have as yet come forward to declare that
they would accept it, as even an instalment
of that which they conceive to he " justice to
Ireland." In fact, the movement has been confined
to parties who, if they have not been strongly op.
posed to a repeal of the legislative union, have, al
least hitherto abstained from any direct support
thereof; while, on the other side, we find Mr. J.
O'CoNrins., who may be regarded as the leader and

" General,—You ask me whether I would accept the
trust of representative of the people in the event of my
being re-elected. I answer yes without hesitation. Now
that it has been shown, i❑ an unanswerable manner, that
my election in four departments was not the result of an
intrigue, and that I remained a stranger to every mani-
festation, and every political rnanceuvre, I think I should
be wanting in duty if I did not respond to the appeal of
my fellow-citizens. My name can no longer be a pretext
for disturbances, and I am eager to return to France,
and take my seat in the midst of the representatives of
the people, who are desirous of organizing the Republic
on wide and solid bases. To render the return of past
governments impossible there is but one means, namely,
to do better than they did, for you know, General, that
nothing is really destroyed which is not replaced."
There are three vacancies in the representation of
Paris, and the following candidates have started
Louis Napoleon Bonaparte.
Marquis de Boissy, ex-Peer of France.
Marshal Bugeaud.
Count d'Alton Shee, ex-Peer of France.
M. Benjamin Delessert.
M. Deguerry, of Saint Eustache.
M. Achille Fould.
M. Genoude.
M. E. Girardin.
M. Roger, ex- Deputy of the Nord.
M. Luleau.
M. Emile Thomas, ex-Director of the Ateliers Na
tionaux.

M. Alexandre Weile.
M. Edmond Adam.
M. Thui 6
M. Kersausie ; and
M. Raspail.
The three last :are Red Republicans ; M. Roger,
M. Edmond Adam, and M. Achille Fould, are the
Ministerial candidates ; Marshal Bugeaud, M. Emile
de Girardin, and M. Delessert, will be supported by
the Orleanists ; and the Marquis de Boissy by the
Legitirnatists, who talk of starting the new Arch-
bishop of Paris and M. de Aurdiffert, an ex-Peer, with
him. The Bonapartists are very active in their canvass,
and the return of Prince Louis may be considered as
certain.

It is said the Sardinian Ambassador has offered the
command of the Piedmontese army to general BE-
DEAU, who has taken time to consider the proposition
Should he refuse, application will be made to General
BERNELLE.

Since the above was written we have received the
evening papers of yesterday. The French Govern-
ment yesterday morning received dispatches from M.
E. ARAGO, the French Minister at Berlin, announcing
officially that Austria had accepted the joint mediation
of France and England.

General GARIBALDI has arrived at Besancon.
BOURSE —PARIS, THURSDAY, SEPT. 7.
THREE O'CLGCR.—The Funds opened to-day at the
closing prices of yesterday, and continued firm during
the day. The coupon was detached from the Five per
Cents. to-day, which accounts for the apparent fall. They
are actually 25 centimes higher than they were yester-
day. Bons du Tresor are at 22i discount.

mouthpiece of the " Old Ireland" party, announcing,
that although they assuredly wish well to the parties
engaged in the present struggle, "they cannot forego
—can never compromise or surrender, the great object
of their hopes and labours—the total repeal of the ac-
cursed union."

But even if the measure was supported by the
Repeal party, and hailed with approbation by the
entire nation, there are difficulties and inconveniences
that would attend its execution, which render it
almost, if not altogether, impracticable. New
Houses of Parliament should be erected at an enor-
mous expense. There is, in fact, no place where the

deliberations of the legislative bodies could be pro-
perly conducted. But, even supposing this difficulty
removed, that the Chancellor of the Exchequer could

be induced to sanction the necessary outlay, and toap

ply an amount that might:be much more beneficially ex-

pended on other purposes, how could the public offices,

with the host of employds engaged therein, be trans

ported across St. George's Channel ? What waste of
time, and how great an expenditure would be neces•
sary for such a purpose; and all that the shop-

keepers of Dublin might have the benefit of some
little additional expenditure during a few weeks in
the year. It could scarcely be supposed that the

same persons would enact different laws, merely be-
cause they were sitting in Dublin, from those which
they would be prepared to sanction in London. The

THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 8, 1848.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was very
quiet, but steady sales. 5,000 bales American &ed. to
sjd. per lb.—Railway Shares were dull, and still at de-
clining prices.
The continental news is to-day of importance, and
has occupied almost exclusive attention. The state-
ment from Paris that Austria has accepted the
mediation of England and France has diffused
a lively feeling of satisfaction, and it seems to obtain
general credence, because it is precisely what was ex-
pected by men of moderate and impartial views. On
the other hand, much surprise has been excited lay the
intimation that the German Confederation has refused
to ratify the armistice with Denmark, and has ordered
that hostilities should re commence. We can only say,
that although it is quite possible later intelligence may
come through France, no indication even of such a course
was perceptible when the Hamburgh accounts of Septem-
ber 5, just received, were sent off. On the contrary,
it was affirmed that the ratification had taken
place, and the shipping interest were acting ac-
cordingly. Still such strange things come to pass in
these days that we should be surprised at nothing. Let
the Danish and Italian affairs be settled, and the weather
continue fine for another fortnight, and a bright future
is before us. The hesitation of the Frankfort As-
sembly to ratify the treaty certainly leads to apprehen-
sion, but all is doubtful.
By an arrival at Liverpool we have dates from Monte
Video of July 3, which, besides confirming the raising of
the blockade, state that the firm which had hitherto supplied
the Montevidian Government with funds, had declined to
make further advances; even the French navy could not,
in consequence, temporarily at least, procure funds.
The Committee of Spanish American Bondholders
have received a very favourable reply from Lord Pal-
merston, as to his Lordship's intention urgently to press
upon the Mexican Government the necessity of attending
to the claims of the bondholders.
There has been more activity in the Stock Market to-
day, and although there was some flatness owing to the
news concerning Denmark, the Italian intelligence has
caused a favourable reaction. Consols have been 851
to 86 for transfer, and 851 to 86i for October. Bank
Stock is steady at 197. The New Three-and-a-Quarter
per. Cents. are 864 Exchequer-bills 28s. to 31s. pre-
mium.
The Foreign Securities continue as dull as for some
time past. Dutch Two and-a-Half per Cents. have been
marked 44 to 4, and the Four per Cents. 70i. Brasil
Bonds are worth 76.
The Railway Share Market has been extremely heavy
again. A further decline has occurred in Eastern
Counties, Great Western, Brighton, North Western,
Midland, South Western, and we do sincerely hope that
holders in general, and especially those who can afford
to hold on, will not be frightened by this unaccountable,
and no doubt only temporary reaction.

M. LAMARTINE.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,—It is with unmingled feelings of delight and
satisfaction that I read your proposed vindication of the
character of the noble Lamartine, which has never for
one moment retrograded in the minds of men of true
genius and real patriotism. The brilliant remarks you
have made upon the subject ought to be written in letters
of gold, and tabletted in every corner of the globe.
They do equal honour to your head and heart ; hence-
forward I shall class your journal as the most enlight•
cried in Europe. It is committed to your hands to do
justice to unquestionably the greatest man now living
amongst us, and as great a man as any who have ever
lived in the course of time.
We must expect but a dull appreciation by the world
of exalted merit and noble aspirations--a mere scintil-
lation of the coruscations of genius and effort of an
almost superhuman talent. The greatness of soul dis-
played by Lamartine upon many trying and momentous
occasions has never been equalled in any age, and truly
glad am I that we have one leader of the British press
who possesses the just sense and honour of an English•
man, to do an act of justice peremptorily detuandtd by
all true lovers of liberty and men of genius.
Your affording me a little space in your valuable
journal for these brief remarks will oblige, Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
8, Eastcheap, Sept. 7, 1848. H. B.

EMIGRATION TO AUSTRALIA.—SeveraI vessels with
labourers for the Australian colonies hare cleared out
from London within the last fortnight; amongst the rest
two ships have gone for the first time with emigrants
direct to " Boyd Town," Twofold Bay, and also to More-
ton Bay, one of the most northern settlements. " Boyd Town" is the entrepot of the fertile districts of Maneroo,
and is rapidly rising in importance.
Borzoi*/ ELECTION..—On Tuesday evening, Mr. Ainsworth, for some years M.P. for Bolton, and a
Liberal, issued an address to the electors soliciting their
suffrages, and on Wednesday morning he commenced a
canvass. A meeting of the Conservatives was held at
the Swan Hotel the :same forenoon, C. Briggs, Esqp,
solicitor, in the chair, when it was resolved to bring for-
ward S. Blair, Esq., who was mayor of the borough in.
1846. D. C. Aylwin, Esq., a Calcutta merchant, who -
has for some years been in England agitating against the
East India Company's salt monopoly, came from London.
to offer his services in the Conservative interest; but on.
finding that a townsman was proposed, he determined
not to create a division in the ranks by becoming a can-
didate. The nomination is fixed for Tuesday next.
TIIE LATE CHELTENHAM he.p-
minary steps to prove the
aIIegedLECTION disqualificationreli of'
Mr. Grenville Berkely, the newly-elected Member for
Cheltenham, have been already taken. A formal pro-
test, signed by John Parker, George Micklewight, Henry
Battenbury, and Thomas Thornton, has been laid before
the returning officer of the borough' of Cheltenham. The
Hon. Craven Berkeley, the late Member for Chelten-
ham, has addressed the electors in vindication of the
remarks lately made by him on the Committee appointed
by the House of Commons to try the case. Mr. Berke-
ley courts inquiry, and is determined to petition the
House of Commons on the present mode of trying
election petitions.
THE MEMBER FOR PAISLEY CENSURED BT HIS
CoNSTITUENTB.—Mr. Hastie, the Radical Member for
Paisley, has fallen into unpardonable disgrace with his
constituents. It appears that he has not been such an
" out-and-out" Liberal as those he represents wished hint
to be; and, therefore, in not only refusing to support Mr.
flume's motion for reform, but, on the contrary, de-
cidedly opposing it, together with sundry other Parlia-
mentary shortcomings, he is doomed for ejectment.
These dissatisfied constituents have had a meeting to
discuss their Hon. Representative's misconduct, and they
resolved that Mr. Hastie should resign his trust. But
the question is, will he? Mr. Hastie seems to be of
opinion that " a bird in hand is worth two in the bush;”
and as a seat is not to be got every day in the week, ho
thinks that while he is in the safe possession of one, it
would be exceedingly indiscreet to surrender it at the
nod or the bidding of those who gave it to him. He has
therefore, declined to comply with the ardent request

SUICIDE IN A VAT OF , RAISIN Wm.---Yester-
day Mr. Baker held an inquest at the Green Gate, City-
road, relative to the death of George Davis, aged 27.
carman, in the employment of Messrs. Bishop and Son,
British wine merchants, Finsbury. It appeared that the .' deceased had lived separate from his wire many years, . and that she had been lately in the workhouse. It is
supposed that his circumstances preyed upon his mind,
as he had been lately very dejected. On Tuesday morn-
ing, about nine o'clock, lie was suddenly missing, and in ...
about half au hour after he was found in a raisin wine
vat. which contained 944 gallons, and which- was about
3i feet deep. The body was floating on the surface a
the liquid. Verdict, "kbund drowned."
