and magnanimity ? It it not a principle the most
subversive of generous legislation ? Is it not opposed
to the very radix of civil liberty and national inde-
pendence? The proposition for the annexation of
the republic of Cracow to the dominions of Austria
is one of the most execrable and flagrant violations of
justice ever adventured upon since the odious
dismemberment of Poland. Our rulers have now
motives for complaining, not merely of the violation
of the antiquated treaty of Utrecht, but of the more
recent, and, if possible, more solemn treaty of
Vienna. In direct opposition to the stipulations of
that compact between the assembled sovereigns of
Europe, the city of Cracow—the last remnant of dis-
membered Poland, which was expressly guaranteed its
independence, and was committed to the protection of
the northern powers—is about to be sacrificed to the
tyranny and dishonesty of its faithless defenders. The
northern powers have broken, or are on the eve of
breaking, their trust, and that, moreover, under cir-
cumstances of the most atrocious description. By
exciting the people of Galicia to acts of in-
subordination in February the perfidious Administra
tion of Austria has afforded itself an excuse for some
decisive movement, and it is now availing itself of
the misunderstandings which have arisen between
England and France for the realisation of its
long-suppressed intentions.
Cracow is to be delivered up to the possession of
Austria : Russia is to be indemnified by the
cession of portions of Galicia : Prussia, as in all
similar transactions, being the least influential and
powerful of the triumvirate, is to be treated with
sovereign indifference, and to receive nothing what-
ever in the shape of compensation. Such is
the programme of the monstrous proceeding by
which the engagements of the Congress of 1815
are about to be laughed to scorn. Will the other
Poewers implicated in those engagements submit
quiescently to this villanous transaction ? Will they
behold the last vestige of Polish freedom annihilated,
and their own character as parties to that destruc-
tion lost, unmoved ? If such a catastrophe as the
one. threatened be permitted the most hideous
episode in Grecian mythology will be realised, and its
realisation will be on a gigantic scale, and in a
civilised age. England and France, by conniving at
thin final destruction of Poland, will render
themselves liable to the most unendurable im
put ation. After allowing Poland to be ton-
to pieces and cast, limb by limb, before
the northern Powers, they will now to all appearanc(
throw the last mournful fragment of that nation be-
fore Austria and Russia, to appease the territoria,
avarice of those empires, or, at the least, to en ure
their conciliation. Common sense assures us
that this will be the natural deduction.
supposing that the Governments of St. James's and the
Tuileries wink at such an execrable annexation anc.
permit such a flagitious violation of faith. Parliament
will have to consider this delicate point, and to insist
upon the preservation of the engagements o
the allied Monarchs and their plenipotentiaries
at Vienna.

The greater portion of this catalogue relates to ques-
tions of the first magnitude. We do not, however,
expect to see any of them brought to maturity dur-
ing the ensuing session. The present difficulties of
Ireland will entirely absorb the whole of the time
that Parliament will be enabled to devote to that
portion of our dominions, consistently with its due
attention to the other great national interests to which
its legislation must be directed.

The following extract from a letter, dated Vienna,
7th November, appears in the Nuremburgh Corres
pondent :
" The ordonnance issued by the Bavarian Govern-
ment imposing an ad valorem. duty of 25 per cent. on the
exportation of corn has produced alarm in the Tyro],
inasmuch as that province derives the greatest part of
its supplies from Bavaria, and at the same time enjoys
the advantage of paying only one-half the ordinary en.
trance duties of Austria. Our Government has, with
great regret, been forced to depart from its principle of
not fettering the corn trade, and has also put restrictions
on exportation."

Letters from Ancona of the sth instant give the
following intelligence on the subject of Mr. WAG-
HORN'S plans for the conveyance of the overland
mail :

" Mr. Waghorn, having failed in his attempt to convey
the Indian mail via Trieste, now proposes to bring it
through Ancona, Lombardy, and the Splugen. The
trial of this new road will be made at the close of
December. Mr. Waghorn arrived here the day before
yesterday to prepare for its execution, and, after having
had a long conference with the British Consul, he re-
paired to Rome. It appears to be in contemplation to
i!,:tablish a railroad along the Adriatic coast, in order to
favour the conveyance of the Indian mail through the
States of Italy and Germany."

The following is the official account of the affair
14etween the troops of the Queen of PORTUGAL and
the insurgents at Cintra :

" COLUMN OF OPERATIONS ON THE NORTH OF THE

TAGUS.

" Quarters at Cintra, Nov. 7, 1846.
" I hasten to bring to your Excellency's knowledge,
that having set out at seven o'clock this morning
from Aguelva, I took the road to Cintra, and at eight
we first saw the rebel position, on the road between
he quintas of Quadros and Ignacio de Barros. As
these quintas are thickly wooded, I . caused three
discharges of musketry to be made, as well to dislodge
the enemy as to reconnoitre their strength ; and as I
iaw that they held to the same positions, leaving my
piece of artillery and baggage in a strong position, I ad-
vanced with the rest of my force, the first column by the
quinta of Ignacio, commanded by me, the second by
Captain Alvares, of the 10th Infantry, to turn the quinta
Quadros. We had no sooner compelled them to
evacuate their positions after a short fusillade, than a
furious tempest delayed us somewhat in our march up the
rugged mountain (the broken character of the famous
Serra of Cintra is wellknown); and, unhappily, being well
acquainted with the ground, they bad time to retire up the
Serra. I marched on to San Pedro (a portion of the
Serra, on the Lisbon extremity of the town), in which
position, naturally one cf extreme strength, and welt
fortified by them, they awaited our advance. I attacked
immediately, which the infantry did with the utmost
ardour, notwithstanding that the enemy defended the
road with a very strong fire, and we immediately had
one soldier killed and five wounded. Nothing, how-
ever, could detain our soldiers, though the rebels
-amounted to 400 or 500 men, of whom 150 were
regularly armed, and the rest had fowling-pieces and
pikes. The fire lasted for five hours and a half, in
which we gained ground on them foot by foot to the
Serra, and routed them entirely, the remainder flying in
every direction. I cannot yet state with exactness the
loss of the enemy, which must be very great, the fatigue
of the soldiers having prevented me from verifying it.
On this occasion I must notice with great praise the con-
duct of Lieutenant Bandeira, of the extinct battalion of
the Queen's Volunteers, who on this occasion joined the
Niunicipal Guard, assisted me to the utmost of his
power, as a cavalry officer, and after having had his
horse wounded under him, advanced on foot at the
head of the infantry; likewise of Captain Pimental, of
the Municipal Guard, who charged by the straight
road to Setiaes, cutting down the rebels, in which charge
nine were killed, of whom three fell by his own hand;
also of the second lieutenant and sergeant of artillery,
who, after making the greatest efforts to use that arm,
tdvanced sword in hand to the charge with the cavalry;
.nd of Lieutenant Veripenio, who conducted himself
with great courage.
" God guard your Excellency:
"B. A. ILHARCO, Major.
" To the Baron Sarmento."

It is by these incessant and criminal transactions
it is by the trifling away of nationality for the selfish
purpose of individual aggrandisement, that the honour
of n ations is becoming a by-word, that solemn trea-
ties of statesmen and sovereigns are in danger of be-
coming as little valued as the husks of corn. If these
things meet with incessant connivance, the freedom
of Europe may be ultimately juggled away, and the
liberal spirit of its constitutions be frittered down tt•
the semblance of its ancient thraldom.

On looking through the general intelligence whiel
has just reached us from Ireland, we are agreeably
pleased to observe that no fresh instance of disturb-
ance or riot has occurred, having any relation to the
dearth of food or want of employment This is a cir•
cumstance upon which we have hitherto been unabh
to congratulate the public, since the first outbreak
that equally established the alarm of the
people and the presence among them of actual
destitution. The fact we allude to is a
wholesome sign that the spirit of insubordination,
which it was not long since feared might spread itself
to an uncontrollable degree, is in a great meaner(
quelled. We are not as yet sanguine enough to be-
lieve that the public tranquillity will not be agail,
partially compromised ; but even if we should not be
mistaken (and we sincerely trust we may), the same
firmness, if necessary, and the same practical re-
buke, which the Lord-Lieutenant recently adminis-
tered to the insurgents, will operate as a salutary
check. The Board of Works have already suc•
ceeded in swelling the list of their employed
to 150,000, thus demonstrating an activity
on the part of the officials which cannot be toe
highly lauded. The enormous expenditure, which is
being herein incurred, lead many to think that the
resources will soon be dried up, and that it will be
found impossible to find permanent employment fox
the stricken population, so as to carry them through
the winter. We do not share in this despondency .
Whilst food was scarce, its prices high, the people
generally unemployed, and before voluntary relief
could shape itself into something like a system,
(which, to be effective, must necessarily be the case,
where the field of commiseration is so extensive
as Ireland presents to our view at this
moment), it could not be otherwise in the
outset than that the Board of Public Works
should draw largely upon the public finances, to be
hereafter repaid by the lands upon which they are
being respectively allocated. Looking, moreover, to
the urgent condition of the impoverished and perish-
ing people, certain abuses, in the earlier stages of this
vast operation, could not, without a miracle, be pre-
vented from creeping in. These, however, have
been quickly discerned, and are being judiciously
suppressed. Thus, many have been receiving
wages under public authority whose real
circumstances were not sufficiently stringent to
entitle them to such a method of remune-
ration. Again, farmers could not secure la-
bour to till their acres, in consequence of the
preference which the labourers felt for bestowing
their toil on public works. According to one official

We have received the Paris papers of Monday.
On Sunday, at a Cabinet Council held at St. Cloud,
Ind presided over by the KING in person, M. GUIZOT'S
reply to Lord PALMERSTON'S last note was read and
approved of. It was to be transmitted to the Mar-
quis of NORMANDY on Monday.
It is evident, from the comments which appear in
the Legitimatist journals on the observations of the
Dynastic press on the marriage of the Due DE Bon-
DEAUX, that the Legitimatists still indulge in the hope
of a second restoration. The Quotidienne says, in
allusion to the observations of the Journal des Debats
en this subject—
" All that we have done for the last few days was to
' show the political importance of the marriage of the
Count de Chambord. It is now clearly demonstrated.
file attack serious, the attack ironical, the attack
facetious and burlesque, the attack revolutionary and
dynastic, nothing is wanting. The Journal des Debats
has completed the evidence. There is a point in which
the Doctrinaire Government imprudently enough betrays
its emotion—viz., the question of right, of which nobody
had yet spoken. The Duke de Bordeaux (says the
Debats) has no right, he can transmit no right, the
younger branch has no desire that he should die with-
out posterity. Gentlemen of the Ministry, you are
losing your senses. Who brought the question of right
under discussion? You betray feelings respecting which
no provocation was given to you."'
After a few further comments, the article thus
concludes
"In the trouble evinced by the Government, there is
a premeditation of malice; it is revealed in what is said
by the Ministerial journal about the last pretender of
the Stuarts, who died at Rome in 1820. But ought it
' not to have spoken of the succession of agony which the
house 'of Hanover paid for the succession to the throne,
and the circumstances by which it was more than once
kon the point of being precipitated from it? When his-
tory is cited the instructive parts of it should not be con-
cealed; neither should there be false, impossible, and
absurd analogies. The Journal des Deliats knows
whether there is the least similitude between the revo-
lution of 1830 and that of 1688. In each case a crown
fell, it is true. But in the one case by an exertion of
social and political power; in the other it was swept
away by a storm. When the Debats shall have placed
France at the point of greatness, dignity, liberty,
prosperity, and security, we will permit it to talk of
pretenders who died cardinals. Until then we shall see
in allusions of this kind only the indication of a personal
malevolence of very bad taste."
The Due DE BOURDEAUX is meanwhile taking ad-
vantage of every opportunity to present himself and
his pretensions in a favourable point of view before
the French people. He has evidently some shrewd
advisers about him, and has the wisdom to adopt their
iuggestions. The following letter to the Marquis of
PASTORET, dated Frohsdorf, October 30th, which is
published in all the Legitimatist journals, is an ad-
mirable piece of diplomacy. lie has here absolutely

the Courrier Francais, the bands of armed mendi-
cants were increasing to a frightful extent, and, not-
withstanding the activity of the gendarmes, conti-
nued their depradations. This jacquerie has extended
to the neighbourhood of Beauvais, where, on the
night of the 11th inst., a band of eleven persons,
amongst whom were several women disguised in
men's clothes, traversed the districts of Formery and
Marseille, carrying away everything they could lay
their hands on. The gendarmes of Marseille, how-
ever, sallied out in pursuit of them, and succeeded,
after some resistance, in arresting three women, whom
they escorted to Beauvais and committed to prison.
The sword of the brigadier was broken in the collision
with these mendicants.

Marshal BUGEAUD, Duke d'lsly, arrived at Algiers
on the sth inst., in the Cameleon steamer, together
with his family. During his passage, and for a
short time after his landing, the Marshal suffered
from indisposition ; but, at the time of the departure
of the mail, all serious symptoms had disappeared.
We find the following in the Constitutionnel :
" We a few days back expressed an opinion that the
Government would not engage in any expedition
against Madagascar, at least for the present. Our
presumptions appear to be in a course of realisation,
as a part of the vessels on the station in these lati-
tudes are said to have been recalled."

The Journal des Debats publishes a letter from
Perpignan of the 1 1 th, which states that a band of
Carlists, 47 in number, had been arrested at Urbanya,
that eight more bad been arrested at Carcasonne,
and 27 more at Narbonne. There were several
officers among them. A depot of arms had been
seized at Quillan. The same letter states that it was
reported at Perpignan, that the Carlist chief, TRIs-
TANY, had been taken and shot. A Carlist chief,
named BURG°, was arrested at Vich on the 4th.

THE POST-OFFICE LONDON

DIRECTORY FOR 1847.

The present is the forty-eighth annual edition of the
" Post-office London Directory," and a truly marvel-
lous effort of compilation it is. The " Post- office
Directory" has been for some years under the ma-
nagement of Mr. Kelly. Until he became the ma-
nager of this work, there were divers other Directo-
ries in the field. They have, however, all disappeared,
and the " Post-office Directory" now rules alone.
This astonishing success, however, has not had the
effect of making the proprietor of this gigantic work
careless. He is too thorough a man of business not
to be perfectly aware that the fruits of his success can
only be reaped by a continuance of the same untiring
energy by which the success was in the first instance
achieved, and accordingly we find that the " Post-office
Directory" for 1847, is even more highly finished in
all its elaborate arrangements than any former edition
of the book. The extent and minuteness of the details
furnished render the work indispensable to every com-
mercial and mercantile establishment. So admirably,
however, is this multifarious information digested and
arranged, that there is not the slightest difficulty
experienced in referring to the particular page re-
quired to furnish the information—a marvellous
instance of clearness of arrangement in a work con-
sisting of upwards of two thousand closely but
clearly-printed octavo pages. Its contents are ar-
ranged under various heads, as, for instance, the
Official Directory, the Street Directory, the Com-
mercial Directory, the Trades Directory, the Law
Directory, the Court Directory, the Parliamentary
Directory, the Postal Directory, the City Directory,
the Conveyance Directory, the Banking Directory, and
some others. Many important alterations have been in-
troduced into the Postal Directory. The new postal
treaty with Prussia, which comes into operation on
the Ist January next, will effect very considerable
changes in the rates of postage to places in the Aus-
trian dominions, Baden, Bavaria, Bremen, Denmark,
the German States, Hamburgh, Hanover, Lubeck,
Mecklenhurgh, Oldenburgh, Poland, Prussia, Russia,
Saxony, Sweden and Norway, Wirtemburgh, &c. &c.
These changes are fully detailed in the Postal Di'
rectory of the present volume. The work, more-
over, is illustrated by a clearly engraved and accu-
rately drawn map of London in 1847, on a scale of
three inches to the mile. This Directory is certainly
the most complete work of the sort ever offered to the
public. Of not only the usefulness, but the indis-
pensable necessity of such a work, no man of business
can for a moment entertain a doubt; and, considering
the completeness and fulness of the information fur-
nished, and the enormous outlay of time and of capital
that must have been made in order to acquire and
digest the information, the very reasonable price at
which the work is published is really wonderful.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS,

rican at sd. to 7d. per lb. Shares were steay, with a
moderate business doing.

The last accounts from Brazil state that there had
been an alteration in the currency laws, which was ex-
pected to be favourable to the exchange, the price of gold
being better- regulated.
Letters and papers to Sept. 18, have been received
from the Cape of Good Hope, which certainly do not
report very favourably of our progress against the Kafirs.
The latter continued, with some success, their depreda-
tions upon the cattle of the frontier farmers, being
themselves sorely pushed for supplies of food, owing to
the long continued drought, and there was no
hope of bringing them to peace, but by our vigorously
prosecuting the war. Colonel Hare, Sir Andreas
Stockenstrom, and the Governor, were at the head of
very respectable forces, and had formed a chain, in order
to encompass the Kafirs, but the country was so exten-
sive, that great difficulties presented themselves. The
next advices, if much later, may bring same decisive
news.

There has been bad weather in Waterloo Bay, on the
eastern coast.

Respecting the commerce of the United States, it is
mentioned in the advices just come to hand,that there bad
seen a increase compared with last year in molasses,
rice, salt, and tobacco, at New York, but that all the
staple articles of foreign importation had fallen off, some
of them very largely. The imports, even under the
warehousing system, had been small during the past fall,
and the packets recently arrived from Europe had but
limited freight lists. During the first nine months of
1845, the imports into New York were valued at
57,537,312 dollars, and this• year at 58,766,934 dollars.
The excess of imports this year into New York, over
the exports from the same place, have been to the amount
of 35,138,225 dollars. _

It is important to notice these particulars, because
they serve to elucidate in part the present doubt as to
whether there will be much.specie required for exporta-
tion from England to America, in payment for grain.
The English Stock market continues to wear a steady
appearance, and money has been offered for Consols
without interest, which indicates that there is a scarcity
of stock. In fact, the tendency of the market is
decidedly buoyant, , notwithstanding the efforts of the
Bei6ncl certain alarmist papers to keep down prices.
Cont Mis have realised 94 t for Money. Time
bargains have not been entered into to any extent.
Exchequer-bills have been quoted at 93. to 12s. premium.
The New Three-and-a- Quarter per Cents. have been

The Foreign Stock Market is still in a heavy con-
dition. Spanish Five per Cents. have been 26, and the

have been flat, at 36i to 37. Mexican Bonds have been
at 22 to 22*. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents.
were 591.
Railway Shares are, upon the whole, rather easier to
buy. There are exceptions, however, and among them
North Stafford, Oxford, WOrvester and Wolverhampton,
Scottish Midland, Churnet and Blythe, and South
Western.
