LONDON, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1846.

which was subsequently, namely, in 1819, seized
by the renowned RUNJEET SINGH, and by
him committed to a Mahomedan administration.
Not merely was this beautiful and important district
ceded by us to the MAHARAJA. of the hills, but we
actually engaged to sustain him in the integrity of
his new empire ; and more than that, induced the
Durbar of Lahore to afford every assistance in case
of emergency to one whom they must unquestionably
regard with aversion as a master rebel. At the period
when these engagements were entered into there was,
it is true, but little expectation that any such assist-
ance would be required. GnooLAn SINGH appeared
to have retained under his authority a military force
that promised to be an invincible protection from the
indignation or envy of surrounding princes. Before
the power of GHOOLAB SINGH the shattered or ener-
vated ranks of the neighbouring territories appeared
to be wholly insignificant. Circumstances, have
however, proved otherwise. _ _

. .
After neglecting for some time, and from some un-
accountable
reason, to take possession of Cashmere,
the MAHARAJA at length attempted to extend his au-
thority over that district, but his attempt has been
nullified by the most unexpected discomfiture. Under
the direction of the Sheik EMAUM- 00D-DEEN, the
Muslims of the valley have revolted against the un-
welcome sway of GBOOLAB SINGH, and that formid•
able warrior has been twice beaten back with a cala-
mitous and sanguinary violence. By an adroit
arrangement of this rebellious Sheik, it would ap-
pear, moreover, that additional difficulties have been
thrown in the way of the thwarted MAHARAJA ; the
recent insurrections in the Vale of Cashmere have
been rendered more durable and portentous by
having a religious character imparted to them; the
cunning Sheik, himself, has assumed the title of
EMIR-00L.MOOMEMIN ; and the affection, and even
enthusiasm with which he is regarded by his Muslim
followers, renders the suppression of the revolt a
matter of consummate difficulty.
In this embarrassment of his newly acquired terri-
tories, GUOOLAB SINGH has applied to the Governor-
General for the military aid which had been stipu-
lated in the recent treaties. Obedient to their own
promise, the British authorities have not merely for-
warded 6,000 men from the Jullundur Doab to take
temporary possession of the MAHARAJA'S capital, but it
would appear that they hare actually prevailed upon
Raja LALL SINGH to dispatch 10,000 men to co-
operate in these endeavours to subdue the insurgents of
Cashmere. And it would appear, moreover, that this has
been accomplished at the very moment when the re-
volt and the resistance of the Muslims are attributed
to an intrigue of the Durbar of Lahore! 'Whether
that rumour be correct or not, it is unquestionable
that extensive preparations were being made to enter
upon a campaign among the mountains and fastnesses
of Cashmere; that the British forces were leagued,
together in the same causewith those of GROOLAB SING a,
and the Government of Lahore. Some months back such
a combination of antagonistic soldiery would have
been incredible; even now it is almost incredible.
From the vigorous repulse which the MAHARAJA has
already encountered from the followers of EMIR- 00L-
MoomEmiN, and from the frightful severity of a
wintry season amongst the mountains of the revolted
country, the difficulties of this deplorable enterprise
may be calculated.
If anything were wanting to show the absurdity of
our Asiatic policy, this catastrophe in the magnifi-
cent and impregnable Valley of. Cashmere would he
amply sufficient. It would be sufficient, because it
displayed in a conspicuous manner the impossibility
of gathering a wholesome fruit from rotten
or pernicious branches ; or, in other words, the
frivolity of expecting to behold peace and good govern-
ment flowing from sources which have only an affinity
f;.r intestine wars and lawless spoliation. Here we
grant certain additions to the kingdom conferred upon
GIIOOLAB SINGH, and we are consequently involved
in troubles for the purpose of making conquests for
the MAHARAJA of the Hills. Next, as a matter
of course, we shall have to enter upon a separate ex-
pedition in support of the Lahore Government, and
Sir CH ARLES NAPIER will have to march upon
Bhawulpore to chastise the petulant and refractory
NIZAM of Moultan. With all these boisterous
elements to battle against, and with our present
blundering and piecemeal policy, the tranquillity and
happiness of India will be realised only on the arrival
of the Greek Kalends.

without being in the first instance brought before a
magistrate to be examined, and his detention approved
of. Why should not a similar protection be afforded
to the wealthier patient ? We conceive that no per-
son should be taken into any house for the reception
of lunatics until he has been so examined, and that
a verdict of a jury should in every case be neces-
sary to warrant his detention. This verdict might
be obtained at a moderate cost, and the coroner of the
district might conduct the inquiry. When-
ever the proceeding was instituted by any
person not nearly related to the alleged lu-
natic, the matter should be taken into the
hands of some public officer. The Lord Chan-
cellor is, "by virtue of his office," guardian of all
lunatics, and in such cases he should delegate an
authority to some person to inquire into the circu n-
stances, and to take such steps as might be most
beneficial for the afflicted person.

In the case of Mrs. SILUTTLEWORTII, the public
having had the advantage of a long discussion on the
state of the law relating to lunacy, and of the judgment
of the entire Court thereon, a certain degree of doubt
has been removed. The law of lunacy is revealed in all
its hideous deformity, and medical practitioners have
received a lesson how meagre may be the character of
the statements they are obliged to make, in pursuance
of the Act of Parliament, as to the facts on which
they ground their opinions of the insanity of the
person, and how illusory may be the protection
afforded by the statute. The lady in question, it ap-
pears, had for five years past been residing in the
house of a medical man, as a patient for bodily and
not mental disease. That gentleman, who from such
long intercourse must be supposed to be more com-
petent to form a sound opinion as to her mental
capacity than any person on a casual interview, dis-
tinctly and positively swore that the lady was of
sound mind at the time sbe was taken into custody.
In this he was corroborated by the affidavits of three
other persons, who had long been acquainted with
her. She was possessed of a moderate independence,
on which she lived in the greatest seclusion.
The person who interfered in the matter was not in
any way related to, or connected with, Mrs. SHUTTLE-
WORTH ; he does not appear to have had more
than a few minutes' conversation with her, and when
on that he decided upon transferring her to a private
lunatic asylum, he was wholly unable to answer
any one of the sixteen particulars required by the
Act, being in fact up to the time of signing the order
fur her reception wholly unacquainted with her. One
of the medical certificates on which the statement
was justified, stated that the facts on which the gen-
tleman formed his opinion that she was of unsound
mind were, that she laboured under various delusions,
without stating what these delusions were, and that
she was extremely dirty, and indecent ; the other was
still less satisfactory—for the only fact stated was,
that the learned doctor had a long conversation
with the alleged lunatic, from which he
had arrived at his conclusion. The Lord Chief
Justice pronounced the decision of the Court, in
which his judicial brethren fully concurred, that the
return to the writ which stated that Jhe was detained
in custody as a person of unsound mind, under and
by virtue of the order for reception, and the certifi-
cates to which we have alluded, was fully sufficient
and that therefore the lady must be remanded back
to her original custody. It is unncessary for the
purposes of our argument to inquire whether the
lady was really of unsound mind or otherwise. It
is the state of the law that must be looked to, and
whether under that law a sane person can, by any
possibility, be unduly interfered with, and his personal
liberty abridged with impunity, and also what is the se-
curity afforded against any such interferences. If the
law is so defective, if such abuses really exist, then its
alteration and amendment is imperatively called for
and the public voice should be at once raised to de-
mand its speedy revision.

Never was the instability of Oriental Govern-
ments more signally illustrated than at this present
moment. Notwithstanding all the carnage of
Sobraon and Ferozeshah, we are again driven to
arms, we are again compelled to dispatch our soldiers
to the perilous fastnesses of the east, we are again
threatened with all the vicissitudes of a precarious and
sanguinary campaign. Those who have fallaciously
congratulated themselves with the impression that
our recent victories in India, and our complicatei dis-
tribution of patronage and territory, had brought
matters to a definite settlement and was inagura-
tive of a permanent tranquillity, will be now
entirely undeceived. The impos-ibility of es-
tablishing any enduring and pacific govern-
ment among the treacherous and quarrelsome
chieftains of Asia, has been tolerably well demon-
strated from the administration of the immortal
CLIVE to that of ELLENBOROUGH. Numberless as
have been the alternations of power and of military
fortune during that interval, every successive oc-
currence has demonstrated the incompetency of the
several petty despots to maintain anything like a
stable dominion over their different principalities, or to
infuse any degree of political confidence or social re-
gularity into the population subjected to their
sway. Religious animosities, the jealousies of caste,
and the enmities which have been generated among
the inhabitants of neighbouring provinces during the
lapse of generations, have all tended to perpetuate the
intestine strifes by which India has been for centuries
desolated. Whener er tranquillity has been temporarily
restored in one direction, war has simultaneously
broken out in another; whenever conces-
sions have pacific d this ruler, or obedi-
ence has been extorted from that, some
refractory principality has involved our representa-
tives in a new and -still more complicated series of
embarrassments. Disastrous conflicts have been the
invariable sequel of our Indian victories. The apple
of conquest has only possessed a superficial bloom : in
reality it has always concealed ashes and disappoint-
ment. If we were to con, one by one, the circum-
stances which have illustrated our Asiatic domination
since its first establishment, down to the latest dis-
patches from Calcutta and Bombay, we should dis-
cover nothingbut a succession of tribulations caused by
our egregious confidence in the possibility of balancing
political power among the various provinces. Our
endeavours in that quarter Jf the globe have been as
blundering, as obstinate, and as ineffectual, as those
of s
rsrpnus. We have attempted to combine in one
friendly cluster a number of heterogeneous states—
states possessing no common bond
of sympathy—
states essentially opposed to the very existence of
each other.
According to:the stipulations entered into imme-
mediately after Sobraon, we
among
.other
things, to ensure to GRool.sn Sirsait:
tn;laetPourassuession of
the Vale of Cashmere, a fruitful
forti-
fied principality, which was originally anneYze'n
1752, to the Dooranee empire by ARMED SRAIT:blut

The first point established by the present case is
that a total stranger may cause the arrest and im-
prisonment of any person whose sanity is impeached' •
may select an asylum to which the unfortunate person
will be consigned, in which he will be kept secluded
without his friends being permitted to see or hear
from him, or even to see the documents under and
by virtue of which he is detained in custody. This is
a most dangerous power to be fora moment sanctioned.
If it continues in force it is probable that we
shall speedily find persons who will make it their
business to inquire into the private affairs of every
person of any degree of eccentricity, who is pos-
sessed of an independence sufficient to insure pay-
ment of the demands of the keeper of the asylum.
Such persons may be considered as necessary
to an establishment of the description as com-
mercial travellers to an extensive mercantile house.
We do not mean to attribute any unworthy motive to
the clergyman who signed the order in the present
case ; hut we have shown that a dangerous power
exists, that great abuses may be perpetrated in conse-
quence thereof, and that we conceive to be quite suffi-
cient to warrant us in calling for its abolition.
No pauper lunatic can be committed to custody

It is also now settled that the statement that the
person signing the certificate had a conversation with
the person afflicted, from which he grounded his opi-
nion, is a sufficient fact within the statute to warrant
the certificate. The protection intended to be given
by the statute is thus partially abolished. It never
could have been contemplared that any medical man
would have signed such a certificate without seeing
and conversing with the patient. The Legislature,
therefore, when it enacted " that the per-
son certifying should state on the face of
the certificate the facts that led him to the conclu-
sion that the person was insane," must have contem-
plated something further than the fact of an interview
with the medical practitioner. It would appear to us
that the facts to be set forth should be of such a cha-
racter as, if unexplained, to establish the mental inca-
pacity. The Court have, however, decided differently,
and as the very slight protection afforded by the Act
is thus taken away, there is a positive necessity for
some speedy legislation on the subject. We trust
that the " Alleged Lunatics' Friend Society," who have
so kindly noticed our exertions on this subject, will
take steps to have the matter brought prominently
before Parliament in the ensuing session, and that a
full and searching inquiry may be directed into tha
law of lunacy, the manner of its operation, and the
measures that should be adopted for its amendment.

The Frankfort Journal contains a letter, dated
Vienna, Nov. 11, which says—

" To•morrow, or the day after, will be published at
Cracow the incorporation of the republic with the Aus-
trian monarchy. Gallicia is to be divided administra-
tively into Eastern and Western Gallicia. Cracow is to
be the capital of the latter. This news has produced a
great sensation. Count Stadion has returned to his post
as Governor of Gallicia, after having had a conference
with Prince de Metternich. It is announced that the
judgments given against the persons compromised in the
late revolution in Gallicia, and signed by the Empercr,
are to be published and carried into execution."

A letter from Berlin, of the 15th, states that the
treaty of commerce with Sardinia, which had long
been under negotiation, has just been concluded.
The letter adds that negotiations have been entered
into with the United States and the principalities of
the Danube. The treaty with the kingdom of the
Two Sicilies is on the point of being ratified.

Intelligence from Lisbon to the 17th inst. has been
received by her Majesty's steam-sloop Polyphemus,
Commander APCLEVERTY, which has arrived at
Pox tsmouth. Count DAs ANTAS had retired upon
Santarem, a strong and fortified position, where he
was awaiting the attack of SALDANIIA, who
was advancing against him from Alwentrinho. Gen-
SCHWALBACK (the Viscount SETERBAL), after shelling
Evora for two days, and finding he could make
no impression, had 'raised the siege, and
retreated to Estremoz, closely followed, it was said, by
the Count DE BOMFIN. Oporto remains in posscssiou
of the insurgents. The last accounts from that city
mention nothing of the rumour that the America
frigate had been fired on and dismasted. Indeed, it
is said that the America draws too much water to
approach within gun shot-of Oporto.

Colonel WyLDE had on the 13th an interview with
Count DAS ANTAS at Santarem. The Count ex-
pressed his loyalty to the QUEEN, and declared it was
against her bad advisers only that he was in arms, and
that his only desire was to release the QUEEN from
the thraldom in which she was held, and afford her the
means of governing according to the charter.
The Diario publishes a decree, dated November
14th, by which the QUEEN, acting in conformity to
the power which she has assumed of personally
directing the affairs of the kingdom, orders that the
notes of the Bank of Lisbon be accepted as a legal
tender for the full amount which they purport to
bear, and the penalty attached to the infraction of
this decree is a fine of from 131. to 1301., at the will
of the judge before whom the offender is tried, and
also the punishment of civil degradation.
The English merchants resident at Lisbon have
presented a strong remonstrance, through their
Consul, on the subject of this decree, and avow their
intentions to close their establishments if it be not
rescinded.

It is reported that the island of St. Michael has
pronounced for DAS ANTAS.
The QUEEN and KING CONSORT are at Belein.

The squadron in the Tagus, under Vice-Admiral
Sir William Parker, Bart., when the Polyphemus
left, consisted of the Hibernia, 100 (flag), Captain
Richards; the Trafalgar, 120, Captain Nott ; the
Rodney, 92, Captain Edward Collier; the Albion, 90,
Captain Lockyer; the Superb, 80, Captain Correy ;
the Canopus, 84, Captain Moresby ; the Nautilus, 10,
Commander M`Donnell, which sailed the 17th for
Oporto, but anchored again off Belem ; and the
steam-sloops Cyclops, 6, Captain Lapidge ; Rattler,
5, Captain Smith ; and Phoenix, 4, Commander
Dennis. The latter was grounded to have her stern-
post caulked.
The America, 50, Captain the Hon. John Gordon,
had sailed a few days before for Corunna.

Madrid papers of the 14th and 15th have arrived.
According to the Clamor Public° bands of Car-
lists have appeared in Catalonia. It was said that
Senor MoN had commenced a prosecution against the
members of the Progressista Election Committee, for
having asserted in their circular that he had mis-
applied the public finances.

We have received the Paris papers of Friday and
Saturday.

The annexation of Cracow is the subject of com-
ment in all of them. We are glad to perceive from
the following article, which appears in the Constitu-
tionnel of Friday, that justice is rendered, by one class
of politicians at least in the French capital, to the
motives which have actuated the conduct of the Libe-
ral Government of England towards France :

" When Lord Palmerston," says the Constitutionnel,
"declared in Parliament that the Treaties of Vienna were
no less binding on the Vistula than they were upon the
Rhine and on the Po, his Lordship extended his hand to
our true policy. The day those words were pro-
nounced was the time when the real importance of
our union with England could have been more clearly
tested. France, not England, has to complain of the
Treaties of Vienna. The maintenance of Polish
nationality is for England a question of philanthropy
and right of nations ; for France, it was the only
compensation fur our losses and misfortunes. If the
Chambers annually protest in the name of the nationality
of the Poles, it is because all attempt against the inde-
pendence of the continent is a violent attempt against
the real interests of France. The question affects our
very vitals. Nevertheless it was at the moment when
those sentiments were expressed in the British Parlia-
ment, that our Ministers deemed it expedient to break off
with the Liberals on the other side of the Channel, who
had thus compromised themselves in the eyes of the
Absolutist Powers. Those men, said they, to the Ca-
binets of St. Petersburgh and Vienna, are firebrands;
we are wise, and we belong to the great political family
of the Conservatives. Then, parodying the policy of
Louis XIV., our statesmen contracted a marriage, not
with the Queen of Spain, but with the Infanta of Spain,
praying Heaven to permit that the Infanta should never
become heiress to the throne. In the meantime,
M. Guizot, offering the liberty of Switzerland
as a sacrifice, implored the alliance of Prince
Metternich, boasted of having secured Russian
alliance, calumniated the Liberal Cabinet of England,
and claimed a place among Legitimate Governments.
But the statesman who rules over Austria, and whose
age has not impaired his fatal ability, without replying,
without complaining of the Spanish marriage, observing
a strict neutrality, was preparing for us the most cruel
blow, the most poignant humiliation that had ever been
inflicted on us. It was not enough to marry an:arch-
duchess to the Pretender of the elder branch of the
Bourbons, he isolated us in Europe, and persists in
treating us as a revolutionary Government in spite of
ourselves. We have not been consulted respecting the
execution of treaties to which France is a party. See
were not even admitted to the honour of destroying the
liberty and existence of the republic of Cracow. Our
Government was never more roughly chastised for having
disregarded its principle, forgotten its origin, abandoned
the cause of liberty in the world, renounced without motive
its natural alliances, and aspired, under the name of Con-

Vienna.

servative, to be numbered among the Cabinets inimical
to the Revolution. In reference to 1830, the Revolution
of 1688 and the reign of William 111., that founder of a
dynasty, have been often alluded to. William 111.,
elevated to the throne by the triumph of Protestantism
in England, proclaimed himself the defender and sup-
porter of the Protestant cause throughout the world.
He defended it with glory, and this was the honour of
his reign and the foundation of his power. To-day, on
the contrary, the councillors of a French revolutionary
Government have nothing so much at heart as to crush
liberty everywhere, and to parody decrepit monarchies.
They degrade their country, without reaping the fruit of
their degredation. They are nowhere regarded either
as Liberal or Legitimate. What shall be the issue of the
present difficulty ? We love our country too well not
to hope that England and France may join and come to
a good understanding together, and that the two nations,
nnited is a liberal sentiment, may form a counterpoise in
Europe to the league of the Absolutist Powers, cemented
at the expense of liberty."
The Presse thus describes the manner in which M.
GUIZOT received the communication of the Austrian
Charge d'Affaires, announcing the annexation of
Cracow :

"If we are rightly informed, M. Guizit, after re-
ceiving from the Austrian Chargé d'Affairei the com-
munication of his dispatches relative to the suppression
of the republic of Cracow, confined himself to reading
the speech delivered by him i❑ the Chamber of Deputies
on the 2d of July, and then accepted the notification ad
referendum."

On receiving this communication M. GUIZOT sent
off a dispatch to the Count DE JARNAC on the sub-
ject, and on Friday communicated the contents of
that dispatch to the Marquis of NORMANDY.
From the following article, which appears in the
Journal des Debuts of Saturday, it is evident that the
French Minister is prepared fully to act up to the
declarations which he made to the Chamber in July
last :

"We now witness the fourth division of Poland, and
the last, for there is nothing more to seize on. A poor
city had survived the fall of Poland ; it was her image
and shade, and as such it still gave annoyance. At pre-
sent nothing remains that is Poland, or that represents
it. Cracow has become an Austrian city, and Austria
has just renewed her complicity in the odious dismem-
berments of 1772, 1793, and 1795, in adjudging to her-
self, without any motive of right or equity, an indepen-
dent city, of which the independence was recognised by
the most sacred treaties—a Catholic city, too, and of
which the Catholicism served as a barrier between the
Slavonians of Austria and the Propagandism of the Rus
sian Church. What has been the object of Austria
in allowing this new part of the Polish spo
liation to be given over to her ? Was it to
prevent it from falling at a later period into
the hands of Russia ? She may have remembered,
perhaps, that after the massacres of Gallicia, Cracow,
indignant and terrified at these butcheries, appeared to
prefer, if it was necessary to have a master, the Slavo-
nian Czar of St. Petersburgh to the German Emperor
of Vienna. But the Czar has thought it better to have
a new hold on the Cabinet of Vienna, in permitting it a
profitless iniquity, than to obtain himself a city the
more. The possession of a Cracow will not give Austria
an additional barrier against the Muscovite Panslavo-
pianism. God grant even that this iniquity of Austria,
added to the horror of the jacquery of Gallicia, may not
afford a new occasion of progress for Panslavonianism !
We cannot add anything to the force of the words pro.
nounced in the Parliaments of France and England by M.
Guizot and Lord Palmerston. If treaties were anything, if
there was any other right in Europe but that of bayonets,
we should say, without fear of being contradicted by any
of tho writers on national law of Russia, Prussia, and
Austria, that the free city of Cracow enjoyed all the
guarantees which the letter and spirit of the most
solemn treaties in the world could afford. On May 3,
1815, Austria and Russia had recognised for ever the
independence and neutrality of the city of Cracow. The
same day Prussia and Russia had made a treaty for the
same object and in the same terms. On June 9, 1815,
these two treaties had been sanctioned and inserted
in the minutes of the Congress of Vienna, signed by all
the Powers. In Art. 6 it was declared that the city
of Cracow with its territory was to be for ever a free,
independent, and strictly neutral city. Such are the
titles which it is now thought fit to tear up; and why?
What crime has the poor independent city committed?
Its crime is this—that it has been flocked to by the Po-
lish refugees from Gallicia, or in other words, from an
Austrian province. Take note that it is not from Cracow
that the Polish conspirators came, but from Gallicia. It
is not of Cracow that a complaint ought to be made; it
is, on the contrary, Cracow which has a right to com-
plain; but, no matter for that, it is Cracow which is
punished, and it is Austria which inflicts the punishment
by taking possession of it. Never, it must be declared,
have diplomatic men translated with more pitiless fidelity
the fable of the wolf and the lamb. We are quite aware
that treaties do not last for thirty years, and we know
that there is no perpetuity for them except in the pom
pous expression of their protocols. It is, however,
assuming a great responsibility to tear up a treaty and
to proclaim openly that the stipulations of European
right are cast into oblivion. Everything in fact in the
treaty of Vienna is connected together; if one article
is scratched out, why not erase another? If art. 6,
which protected Cracow, is abolished, why should art.
17, attributing to Prussia a great part of the kingdom
of Saxony be respected ? Or art, 25, conferring on her
the sovereignty of the old French departments, on Lb..
left bank of the Rhine ? Art. 46, which makes Frank-
fort a free city, is not more clear and more expressive
than art. 6, which makes Cracow a free and independent
city also. Arts. 75 and 76, which make Geneva and

Basle two Swiss cities, have nothing apparently more
solid and more stringent than art. 6. Nay more, why
should we be obliged to respect art. 3 of the treaty of
November, 1845, which internicts France from forti-
fying fluninguen ? Let us, in fine, be told by what
sign any one may recognise, in a treaty, the articles that
may be abolished, when they displease, and those which
ought to be maintained. We tear much that with the
doctrine of the three Northern Courts there will not be
in treaties any more obligatory articles, unless those
which concern the strong. As to those protecting the weak,
they exist only so long as there is no interest to violate
them. A singular kind of European right this! We
have formerly heard it said that the demoralisation of
European right commenced with the French revolution
and with Napoleon. This is a gross mistake; it com-
menced with the first partition of Poland, in 1772. It
continued in 1846, and always on the subject of Poland.
Decidedly the faith of treaties and the sanctity of Euro-
pean right are laid in the same tomb as Poland. But it
is on that very account that we believe neither in the
death of European right nor in that of Poland."
M. GuizoT is now beginning to discover that the
English alliance is more valuable to France than even
he had ever imagined it to he, and that, in compromising
it, he has committed worse than a fault—a mistake.
The following article, which appears in the _Epoque,
is evidently a feeler, put forth to smooth the way for
a reconciliation with Lord PALMERSTON ;

" It is evident to all the world that the coolness which
had arisen between France and England was seized upon
by the Northern Courts to annihilate, in eontempt of
treaties, the freedom of Cracow. This is the language
held even by the Opposition journals. If the momentary
relaxation of the alliance with England can have pro-
duced a consequence so hostile to the peace of
Europe, this alliance was good and salutary.
This is a point well worthy of being established. The
Constitutionnel, the Steele, and the National, have all
so frequently
was
both and so loudly declared that the English
alliance sterile and humiliating, that it makes
us happy to hear the same journals, although at an hour
somewhat late, proclaim that this alliance was not so
sterile but that it might have saved the peace of the
world ; was nct so humiliating but that it might have
been a salutary curb to the imprudent and ill-judged
provocations of the Northern Courts. But the return
of these journals to the right way of thinking is, like
their deviation from it, always exaggerated. Like the
pendulum of a clock, an irresistible impulsion makes
them oscillate to left and right. Hitherto they have used
exaggeration in blaming the English alliance, and now
they praise it up with an equal degree of exaggeration.
Formerly with them it was the destruction of France,now
it is her only salvation. As many bitter words as they had
for reproaching the Cabinet for maintaining the alliance,
so ma ly they use now in accusing it for having compro-
mised it. The good sense of the public has done, and
will continue to appreciate the real value of these decla•
mations. We have never believed, and we are now still
further from believing, in a rupture of the English alli-
ance. But, supposing it to be the consequence of the
Spanish marriages, we hold it to be incontestable that
France could not nevertheless have acted otherwise than
she has done. However precious an alliance may be, it
ought not to go so far as to impose an oblivion upon the
most important rights and interests of a nation; and when
it is sincere, its genuine object is to ensure an auxiliary
to the legitimate pretensions of each ally. We admit
that the entente cordiale is more or less compromised
with Lord Palmerston ; but Lord Palmerston is not
England, and it is not with him that we are allied. It
is very pnlbable that if the French Government had
suffered Lord Palmerston to make a marriage, as he
pleased and as his dispatches prove he wished, between
a Prince of Coburg and the Queen of Spain, we should
still be upon the best terms with him. Only the Go-
vernment would have betrayed the interests of France,
and then the journals would have had every right to
make reproaches. We have full confidence in the sound
sense of the people of England, and do not despair of
even that of Lord Palmerston himself. They will both
acknowledge how unfounded have been the complaints
raised by them against the French Government, and
they will reconstitute that close and loyal alliance which
the recent event of Cracow renders still more desirable
for Great Britain than for us."

INDIA.

THE PUNJAUB.
(From the Bombay Times.)
Just as the period seemed at hand when our troops
were to retire from Lahore, and the strength of the po-
litical arch we had erected to be tested by the removal
of the props which had hitherto sustained it, unlooked-
for events make their appearance, rendering further delay
indispensable. A bloody insurrection in Cashmere shows
so bold a front that the fieikh armies both from Jamoo
and Lahore are summoned forth to quell the rebels, and
so weak are the two Governments that British soldiers
are required at both capitals to see, that when the
troops march forth to chastise malcontents in the pro-
vinces, malcontents more formidable still do not make
their appearance in the cities to meet the army on its
return. The attractions of the vale of Cashmere are
more celebrated in song than in geography or statistics.
It is described as an elevated tract to the westward of
the Punjaub, enclosed by lofty mountains, the central
plain being alluvial. It is watered by the river Jelum
and its numerous tributaries. It is about 120 miles
long and 70 broad, comprising an area of nearly 4,500
square miles. The population of Cashmere has, by ter-
rible visitations of pestilence and famine, been, within
20 years, reduced from 800,000 to 200,000. In 1752 it
was conquered by Ahmed Schah, and attached to
Western Affghanistan. It remained a portion of the
Dooranee empire till 1819, when it was annexed by
Runjeet Singh to the Seikh dominions. In March,
1846, it was transferred from the rule of Lahore
to that of the Jamoo Maharaja, for whom we de
sired to carve out a kingdom in return for his
payment of the subsidy due to us by the su-
preme authorities. Seven passes penetrate from
without the entrances through the mountains into the
valley of Cashmere, of which one-half only are said to
be traversable by horses. The Seikhs penetrated by the
Baramoola pass, through which the river Jelum finds its
way. They were only able to take a single piece of
ordnance along with them, a six-pounder gun, slung on
poles, and borne by thirty-two men at a time; a tolerable
illustration of the character of the path. When the
country was made over to Ghoolab Singh, one of his old
confederates in treason, Sheik Emam-ood-Deen, long
governor of the province, exercised almost unbounded
influence over the minds of the people. Averse to quit
the place of his authority, and no longer suffered to ex-
ercise it as before, he resolved to set up for himself, un-
furling the standard of revolt with a view of entering
on independent sovereignty. A force under Lukput Rae,
sent out against him, was defeated, and its commander
slain. The state of matters could not, of course, be per-
mitted to endure, and the Jamoo chief resolved to move
against his refractory subjects at the head of all his army,
so soon as he could make arrangements for securing
his rear from attack. Nor was even this considered suf-
ficient ; the Lahore Durbar was applied to, and 10,000
Seikhs directed to move thence into Cashmere, to operate
in concert with the other forces. Meanwhile we were en-
treated to assist by occupSing Jamoo, and permitting
our troops to stand fast at Lahore. Consequent on these
arrangements the following movements are understood
to have been ordered :—Brigadier Wheeler, with about
6,000 men, consisting of a troop of Horse Artillery, a
light Field Battery, one regiment of Regular and
another of Irregular Cavalry, and the 15th, 24th, 30th,
and 33d Native Infantry, occupies Jesrowta, and then
advances on Jamoo. One day's post brings tidings
that contingently on this Sir John Littler and his
troops will stand fast at the capital three months
longer than was proposed—another that a fresh brigade
is in orders to cross the Sutlej at Ferozepore and
march on Lahore. This, according to the Delhi Ga-
zelle's Siralah letters, is to consist of Campbell's and
Lane's troops of Horse Artillery, 6th Regular and 12th
Irregular Cavalry, her Majesty's 62d Foot, and the
51st and 54th Native Infantry. A letter of the 29th
ultimo from Lahore, received on Monday, intimates that
her Majesty's 80th, and the 12th, 42d, and 44th Native
Infantry, Major Day's troop of Horse Artillery, and
Major Horsford's Light Field Battery, are under orders
to march thence at a moment's warning for a post on the
fleas. Our correspondent furnishes us with no informa-
tion beyond the fact of these movement, and we shall not
therefore venture on speculations. This new element
of activity was altogether foreign to our contemplations:
what its ultimate effects may be, it is not easy to an-
ticipate. The Seikhs, alike of the mountain and the
plain, must now see more clearly than even after So-
braon had opened their eyes, not only how completely
they are at our mercy, but how absolutely they are
dependent on us for their own protection. Mean while
the property of the rebel chief, mostly existing in the
Jullundur Doab, was directed to be everywhere confis-
cated, and very ample returns were thence expected to
arise. The Moulton arrangements also seem to proceed
less auspiciously than could he desired, and that was
at one time promised by them. Th 9 AmbassadoCap-
pears distrustful how to act, and seems to think that he
will require to proceed to the city of Moultan itself.
'rne Nloolraj is suspected of disingenuousness and dis-
junction from the first, and most likely thought that the
, disturbances of Cashmere and the absence of the army
supplied plausible grounds for procrastination, in the
prospect of the withdrawal of the British force. Al-
together, the state of things looks at present much more
• tangled and perplexing than it has done almost since the
Governor-General quitted the Seikh dominions. The cold
weather seems to have set in, and the season is favour-
ably spoken of: snow had fallen on some of the moun-
tains at no very great distance from Kote Kangra.

last on his way to visit the Governor-General, and of
about 100 other chiefs and high officers. The Maha-
raja immediately fled, it is not known whither,
while the Maharaja Deeraj, his eldest son by the former
Ranee, is said to be in confinement. Jung Bahadur, the
only chief of any importance left alive, has been created

the seal of the Maharanee, who has become supreme.
She is the Maharaja's second wife, and has two sons.
Feelings of jealousy, fear, and hatred, had for some
time manifested themselves between her, the Maharaja,
and the eldest son of the first Ranee, but no one ever
dreamt that they would tend to such a fearful tragedy.
The families of the unfortunate sufferers have been ba-
nished the kingdom, and were, on the 17th, already on
their way to the plains. Soldiers were sent in imme-
diate pursuit of all such men as were obnoxious to the
Maharanee, and as had managed to effect their escape,
and 10 of these unfortunates are said to have perished,
according to the latest accounts. An attack on the
Residency (in charge of Captain Otteley) was at one
time apprehended, but nothing of the kind had, we are
happy to say, actually taken place. It was only
a fortnight before this frightful scene that the
Chountra Prime Minister, Abbiman Raba, Guggun
Singh, and Jung Bahadur, had gone in one carriage to
take leave of Mr. Colvin, and were in outward appear-
ance the best of friends."

(From the Chamber of Commerce Overland Price Current.)
BOMBAY, OCT. 15.—The business in imports since our
last has been limited in amount, the preparations for the
Dewallee holidays, which have just commenced, and
will not terminate till the 24th instant, having a good
deal interfered with commercial operations. The market
has been, generally, steady, and but little variation in
prices appears to have taken place. Favourable accounts
continue to be received from the major part of the agri-
cultural districts.
METALS.—There have been but a few transactions in
these, and we have little changes in prices to record.
No sales in copper have been reported, but we quote
rile a shade lower, and American somewhat higher
than before. In iron a sale has taken place of
240 cwt., of sheet, at 71rs. per cwt. Dealers appear
disposed to provide themselves with stocks of both
these metals, but the prices offered are not such as
to tempt holders, with the prospects now before
them, to make sales. Neither in steel, lead, nor spelter,
have we heard of any transactions ; the last-named ar-
ticle is no longer in request, the speculative inquiry
which formerly existed for it having ceased. Sheet lead
exhibits a slight improvement on previous rates, while
quicksilver has declined to the extent of about Ors. per
maund.

COTTON MANUFACTURES.—The sales of the past fort-
night have been principally in 45 and 40 inch gray do-
mestics, with the finest qualities of bleached shirtings, jaco-
nets, and mulls. These have all commanded fully former,
but still unremunerating, prices, and in shirtings an im-
provement on former rates is perceptible. The lower
kinds of gray madapollams and jaconets have also been
disposed of to a moderate extent, but there is no great
demand for these fabrics. There have been some sales
of both plain and printed Turkey red goods, but at most
wretched prices. Prints continue neglected.
COTTON YARNS.—An advance has taken place in the
prices of Nos. 20, 30, and 50 mule, and No. 20 water
twist, which counts are just at present in request. The
other numbers remain without change. There has been
on the whole, a fair amount of business in yarns. In
dyed yarns, Turkey red is the only colour for which
there is any demand, and we hear of a sale in it of
10,0001b5., average No. 40's, at 14r. per lb. Orange is
altogether neglected. _ _ _

WooLLENsT—The market for woollen cloth continues
dull and unpromising, and but few sales appear to have
taken place. Prices are still low and unremunerating.

MARINE STORES.—The demand for the articles under
this head has been ♦ery slight, and little improvement
is discernible in prices. 'We quote linseed oil and
spirit of turpentine a trifle higher than before. A
sale is reported of 400 barrels of coal pitch, at 2rs. Ba.
per barrel.
BEER.—Prices remain as before, and the only sale of
which we have been apprised is one of 250 hogsheads
Allsopp's, at 60r. per hogshead.
SPIRITS.—Both brandy and gin are quite uncharged
in value. We hear of no transactions.

COCIIINEAL.—We quote this article about an anna
per pound higher than at the date of our last Price Cur-
rent, but we believe there is now little or none in im-
porters' hands.
SAFFRON.—There is little saffron of good quality in
the place. We hear of a sale cf 1001 b. at 18r. 4a. per
pound. Prices now range between Br. and 181 r. per
pound, according to the quality.
RED LEAD.—The prices of this article are fully main-
tained, and a sale has recently had cffict of 150 casks, at
13r. per cwt. There is no white lead in the market.
