lirough her capital, on her mountains and plains, one
universal shout of war against him.
He had no ground whatever for advancing the false-
hood ; and his, only motive in telling it was to mislead
and confound, his aim being to inculcate an idea of his
superior rower, to impose upon his enemies, to screen
the effects of his nefarious policy, to divert the attention
of the general coalition, which his crimes and folly have
called irato existence, and to ward off the blow which
now ttreatens him.

But of what use is such a miserable expedient ? It
lar,ts but for two or three days, and then follows the
solemn and bitter contradiction, the voice of truth, the
conviction, whose only fruit is dishonour and infamy.
Let Rosas go on so if he pleases ; but let him con-
vince himself, if possible, in time, that all his plots and
falsehoods, nay, his hostilities too, will never prevail
against Paraguay. Here he has the well-wishes of no
one, absolutely no one ; still he talks about American
sympathies ! How does he expect to impress us with
an idea of his power, if he thus exposes to us his mi-
serable weakness ? Let him continue if he pleases; but
instead of coming out conqueror, he will see that even
the city of Buenos Ayres will at length escape from his
fangs. Yes, she shall arise from amid the ruin and
ashes of her murdered children, and the sun of inde-
pendence ant!, liberty, the moon of security and repose,
shall yet dawn upon her walls.

rible appearance of the cholera in Kurrachee.
Fifteen hundred European soldiers are reckoned
in the mortality. This epidemic had how-

ever abated in the district last mentioned,
and by proceeding up the river threatened a similar
desolation to Hyderabad. The violent fever which
had attacked the garrison at Sukkur was
in like manner disappearing. By the natives
Kurrachee is usually regarded as a sanatorium : by the
Europeans it has, during severe seasons, been found
little more salubrious than Vera Cruz, or even Sierra
Leone. Thousands are suddenly cut off by an
agonising and malignant disease; the streets are
crowded with the lugubrious pomp of funerals ; and
even those individuals who are spared in the visitation
are mourners for its numerous victims. These calami-
ties, which have been for a considerable time of
periodical occurrence, are unquestionably of sufficient
importance to render us desirous for some corrective,
if not for some preventative, measures. When we
behold our regiments thinned triennially by cholera,
or miasma, or dysentery, or other maladies, our first
question is, and very naturally, How can this be pre •
vented? Will draining the soil in the vicinity of
barracks be productive of any decided ad-
vantage ? Will levelling the neighbouring
jungles, or burning the underwood, decrease
the chance of unwholsome vapours being generated ?
Would any system of dietetics during the dangerous
periods render our military less liable to the afflic-
tion ? Surely any trouble of research into the means
of avoiding such wholesale dangers would be amply
repaid to Government, whenever those means were
discovered ; and any reasonable expense in endeavour-
ing to defend our troops from decimation would in the
end prove absolutely economical. Something should
be done to save our armies from a similar destruction
in future. We advance millions to defray the cost of
conquering some hostile nation for encroaching upon
our frontiers, or for placing the lives of our people in
jeopardy by marauding excursion; but we are
either niggardly or literally apathetic in at-
tempting to vanquish an enemy by which
our defenders are destroyed en masse !
Sir C. NAPIER has recently been demolishing the
fortifications of Kurrachee, and filling up the sur-
rounding ditches with a view to the diminution of the
mortality. It would, therefore, appear that some
changes are requisite in the drainage, and that the
soldiers are in too confined an atmosphere. Why not,
in the name of Heaven, rectify these errors before you
are driven to do so by the sudden death of fifteen
hundred able-bodied men ? In one instance a whole
regiment perishes under the ruins of a ricketty bar-
rack—and it is then sagaciously discovered that such
buildings should be erected with a greater regard to
strength and durability. In another, the wives
and children of our soldiers are afflicted by
a contagion, from want of proper shelter
and wholesome provisions—and the gentlemen of
the commissariat department are instantly satisfied
that a reasonable number of beds and generous food
should be supplied for similar convoys. And now
several hundred men are swept away—and forthwith it
would seem that the stagnant waters around Kurra-
chee should have been removed, and a better
ventilation supplied to the garrison.
It is hinted by other individuals that an alteration
in the period of the arrival of European troops in such
places as Kurrachee or Hyderabad would materially
diminish the possibility of cholera being felt in this ter-
rific manner. We cannot undertake, of course, to decide
upon which of the many nostrums advanced should
be selected, but we do most distinctly and empha.
tically aver that the merits of each should be can-
vassed by the local authorities ; that an active
interference is incumbent upon the supreme
Government ; and that in conscience and honour
and honesty some immediate steps should be taken
for the better protection of the lives of our gallant
veterans. The existence of a soldier is already
sufficiently precarious to render it a matter of indif-
ference whether he be carried off " in the full blossom
of his sins" by the abrupt encroachments of an avoid.
able epidemic. The battle-field needs no assistance
in its work of death from the fever hospital. Ga

lantry in our regiments had better be rewarded by
preserving their health in time of peace than by
decorating them with flaunting ribbons.

The war against rents is rapidly extending itself
throughout Ireland. Already has it spread from
Tipperary, where it had its origin, into Limerick and
the King's County. It is the first fruit of the in-
flammatory and exciting harangues on the subject of
physical force that have recently been pro-
mulgated, and to which Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN
to a certain extent lent the sanction of
his name. Once satisfy the lower and un-
educated classes of the lawfulness of an appeal
to arms, that there may be any possible combination
of circumstances that will justify them in setting the
authorities at defiance, and arraying themselves in
open hostility against the law of the land, and they
will easily and speedily be convinced that the time has
come for a display of force, and for a universal
opposition to any law by which they may feel them-
selves incumbered. The present moment is unhappily
too well calculated for the creation and extension of
such a feeling. The small farmers and cottiers have
beheld with dismay the mysterious visitation that
has prevailed throughout the entire country
blighting the crops, and spreading desolation
in every locality ; they have witnessed the total de-
struction of that species of food to which alone they
looked for support and maintenance during the
autumn and winter. By other kinds of produce
they procured means for the payment of their rent,
and the few and trifling necessaries with
which they were so easily contented—for
the possession of comforts or luxuries never en-
tered into the most sanguine imagination—but the
potato was to them literally the staff of life, they
lived on it, and it alone. If the supply was plentiful
and the quality good they were contented; and if
they could add thereto an occasional salt herring, or the
thick sour milk from which the cream had been re-
moved, they envied not the tables of the great ; but
a scarcity thereof was attended with misery
and sufferings that could scarcely be cre-
dited in this more favoured country, and
which could only be endured by a people patient
under privations, unrepining and submissive under
the most grievous afflictions. If an insufficiency of the
potato was attended with such lamentable and heart-

rending results, what can be looked for-
ward to, or hoped for, when there has been
a total, an universal destruction. The people have wit-
nessed the progress of the disease with feelings to which
it would be impossible to give expression. They have
regarded their helpless families with the most
gloomy forebodings, and have almost given themselves
up to despair. It is then at such a time that they
are peculiarly exposed to the seductions of the
tempter—that any the wildest suggestions find a
ready response ; there is no proceeding or line
of conduct, that holds out the slightest
prospect for the future, which will not
readily be adopted. A rude and natural logic
convinces them that rents can only be paid out of the
surplus produce of the land, after the wants and ne-
cessities of the occupiers and cultivators of the soil
are first met and provided for; famishing and hungry
multitudes will easily be persuaded of the propriety
and justice of retaining in their own hands the means
of support, of keeping life and soul together. Great
conciliation and forbearance is necessary at
such a crisis on the part of the landowners, and any
undue severity, any harsh or oppressive acts at once
inflames the passions, and fans into flame the elements
of combustion. Of course there are persons, as there
ever save been, blind to the signs and the necessities
of the times, who look only to their own wants, and by
any means, however oppressive, seek to enforce a sa-
tisfaction of their demands; the law in all its
stringency is put into operation, and the
cottier's hut is swept of its wretched furniture; the
pig, which can alone make use of the diseased potato
and turn to some profit the rotten mass, is taken from
him; and the horrors of his all but hopeless position
are increased and aggravated by the cruelty and
heartless rapacity of his landlord. Then co

consequences of their own acts, and in a cowardly and
timid manner abandon the distresses they have made,
and suffer the law to be set at defiance
with impunity. The intelligence spreads like
wildfire through the country. The same course
is pursued in every instance, even where there are
not circumstances of equal hardship; the mischief
commenced by cruelty is consummated by pol-
troonery, and a fierce and universal warfare is waged
against the rights of property. It is only to the vast
and well-founded influence of Mr. O'CONNELL, and
the cordial co-operation with him of the pastors and
religions instructors of the people, that we can look
for a termination of this fearful state, Hit has obtained
their confidence, he has led them through many try-
ing scences, to the attainment of triumphant and
bloodless victories. They know that they can place
implicit dependence on his wisdom and sagacity—
that he will do all within the power of man to
conduct theni in safety through the difficulties with
which they are environek His conduct bears the most
honourable testimony to the purity and integrity of
the motives by which he has been actuated through-
out his useful career. He has not seized the oppor-
tunity now afforded to him of further exciting the
popular mind ; on the contrary, his counsels all are of
peace and tranquillity ; he has pointed out, and
brought prominently forward the good intentions of
the Government—he has implored the people to refrain
from crime and violence—he has promised that
the people shall have fool Most sincerely do we
hope that his exertions may be crowned with suc-
cess, and that no acts on the part of the people may
delay the attainment of that to which they are justly
entitled, and which can only be postponed by unwise
or injudicious conduct on their own parts—viz., the
obtaining of a full and perfect equality with England li
in all their civil, political, and municipal institutions.'

The Vienna Gazette states that the instructions of

Prince METTERNICH to M. MUNCH BELLINGHAUSEN,
President of the Diet of Frankfort, on the subject of
Holstein, relate only to the ties which bind Holstein
to the German Confederation.

" The question of succession, the only one alluded to
in the letter patent of the King of Denmark, is left out
of the question. Prince Metternich does not think the
Diet a competent judge in the matter, it must be decided
by the great powers, three of which at least are favour-
able to Denmark.

The protest of the Duke of A UGUSTENBURGII against
the letters patent of the King of DENMARK has been
delivered to the Chancellor of the German Diet.

The Augsburgh Gazette contains a letter, dated
Tauris, July 28, which states that, on the Persian
Government receiving information of the outrage
committed on its Minister by the populace at Erze-
roum, Au EFFENDI, the Turkish Consul residing at
Tauris, was arrested, and put into prison.
We find the following in the Post•Arapt Gazette of
Frankfort, under the date of St. Petersburgh, 27th
August :

" The commercial relations established since last year
by the Governor-General of Trans-Caucasus, between
the Russians and the mountaineers, are producing the
most beneficial effects. The markets held at certain
periods of the year, for carrying on barter, contribute
much to connect the two people. and to inspire them
with a love of peace. The annual market, held on the
Bth of June in the town of Ekaterinodav, was very bril-
liant, and the inhabitants of the Transkuban communes
attended it in great numbers. Before entering it the
mountaineers were requested to lay aside their arms, to
which they consented. The amount of business effected
in barter is estimated at 10,000 silver roubles (the
silver rouble is little more than four francs). The
mountaineers would only take roubles, refusing paper
money or bills. The trade in leeches, which are be
coming scarce in Europe, begins to increase in Trans-
Caucasus. Erivan, Imezetia, Mingrelia, and some can-
tons of Georgia, produce a great number. It is scarcely
two years since they began to take them. Several
foreigners wished to establish a monopoly in that trade,
but the Government preferred its remaining free and
exempt from duties."

Madrid papers of the 3d have arrived.

The announcement of the approaching marriage
of the QUEEN with Don FRANCISCO had been received
with great joy throughout all the provinces, but that
of the proposed union between her sister and the
Duke DE MONTPENSIER had created universal dissa-
tisfaction. Don FRANCISCO D'ASSIS will on his
marriage be appointed Captain-General of the Army.
His father, Don FRANCISCO DE PAULA is about to
occupy the 'apartments in the palace which have
been hitherto occupied by the INFANTA. Senor
SIMON DE RonA has been appointed Political Chief
of Madrid. The journals, with the exception of the
Herald°, continue to protest against the marriage of
the INFANTA with the Duke DE MONTPENSIER as
illegal and contrary to the constitution of the
kingdom.

It is reported that Mr. BULWER, on being informed
of the intended marriage with the Duke DE MONT-
PENSIER, addressed a note to the Spanish Cabinet,
stating that " he had learnt with surprise that it was
the intention of the Spanish Government to carry
into effect the marriage of her MAJESTY and the IN-
FANTA simultaneously, and at a very early period ;
that the proposed marriage of the latter with the
Duke DE MONTPENSIER could not be regarded
as a private and merely internal question
but was, in every sense, a European one,. and of
transcendant importance, and which might lead to
the most serious complications; that in consequence,
in the absence of any precise instructions from his
Government, he should limit himself to protesting
against all proceedings in the matter until he should
receive further instructions."

These papers contain intelligence from Portugal to
the 29th of August. It is said that an absolutist
guerilla force has appeared in the neighbourhood of
Braga, andldefeated a part of the garrison of Chaves,
which had been sent against it. These abso-
lutist guerillas, however, are not Miguelites, for they
proclaim Donna MARIA DA GLORIA absolute queen,
or, which is the same thing, with the Government of
Don Jour; VI. The movement, however, is most
probably suppressed ere this, as a considerable body
of troops were marching to put it down.

MADRID BOUM., SEPT. 3.--The Three per Cents.
were done at 35k for cash ; the Four per Cents. at
21 R ; the Five per Cents. at 22A ; the Debt, without
interest, at 6i ; and the Coupons, 201.

We have received the Paris papers of Tuesday.
They contain scarcely anything further on Spanish
affairs. The Siecle, however, announces that MARIA
Cilium/v.4. will, on the marriage of the QUEEN and
her sister, come and reside in France ; and the Cour-
rier Francais says, " that the triumph of M. GulzoT
in the affair of the marriage of Queen ISABELLA was
only obtained at the price of an immense concession
made to Great Britain by the Spanish Cabinet. This
concession consisted in a treaty of commerce, of
which the preliminaries were concluded between Mr.
BuLwEn and M. ISTURITZ, after a long conference
held on the 30th of August last at Madrid."

The Spaniards in France denounce this marriage
as a betrayal of their QUEEN, and a handing over of
Spain to the power of her implacable enemies.
The Journal des Daats contains a long article on
the state of crime in France, and from the official
returns which have been made, showing the number of
recommitments which take place, it comes to the conclu-
sion " that the reforms in detail which have been tried
in the central prisons have not produced the expected
results, or rather that they have been completely in-
efficacious; that prisons as at present constituted and
bagnes are irremediable sources of corruption, and
that the only remedy for the evil is to be found in
penitentiary reform."
The Commerce is by b 0 Means pleased with the
partial suspension of the ukase imposing a heaVy
duty on French vessels entering Itu6sian ports. It
says :----

others, it holds out a sufficiently serious interest to have
induced the agents of M. Gui Sot to procure the suspen-
sion of the fatal ukase to be extended to that market.
Independently of its corn, Odessa carries on with Mar-
seilles and a great number of intermediate ports of
Turkey, Greece, and Italy, a considerable export trade
in tallow, wool, iron, leather, wax, caviare, potash,
salted meat, cordage, sailcloth, tar, butter, and isinglass;
its import trade consists of sugar, coffee, dye-woods,
wine, brandy, cotton goods, grocery, cutlery, oil, tin,
dried fruits, paper, silk, &c., and, if at the time when
ourvessels were not burdened with an enormous differen-
tial duty, the poo of Odessa Wily sent to k'ranoe the

' average yearly value of 300,000 roubles, it received in
French produce, or in foreign produce from French
depots, to the amount of 2,500,000 roubles. After
Turkey, France ranked first in the import trade ,Of the
port of Odessa ; England came after us. Our Ministry,
as it may be seen, does not confine itself to offending our
moral interests ; it injures also our material interests,
by its half satisfactions—by commercial negotiations,
always incomplete ; all this proceeds from the same
source : when a Cabinet is not national in its policy, it
cannot be national in any other point of view."
M. DUMON, the Minister of Public Works, has left
Paris for England. During his absence his duties'
will be performed by the Minister of Public Instruc-
tion, M. SALVANDT.
The following report of Captain MARTIN, of the
brig Furet, recently returned from the western coast
of Africa, is published in the Semaphore (le Mar-
seilles:—

" During my stay on the coast," says Captain Martin,
"I was often visited by English and French cruisers,
and I cannot speak in sufficient terms of praise of their
conduct towards me. I met on every point numbers of
English, American, Brazilian, :•;ardinian, and llamburgh
vessels. The competition was, consequently, great,
and the trans?ctions difficult. This stage of things
was aggra,rated by the intestine wars, which pre-
vented the tribes of the interior from bringing their
productions to the sea. At Gabon trade was imprac-
ticable. The native merchants, overwhelmed with debt,
no longer offered any guarantee, and the authorities
had not been instructed to prosecute them. The ex-
reme kindness of the French officers has been badly
appreciated by them, and we have no influence whatso-
ever over them. Mr. Wilson, an English Methodist
minister, settled in a village not far distant from Fort
Aramale, makes many proselytes, and does not inspire
them with the love of the French protectorate. The
Catholic missionary, on the other hand, has been aban-
doned by the few natives who had collected round him.
It is not from any want of zeal orinstruction on his part,
but in order to succeed he should be allowed a certain
sum of money, independent of his wretched appoint-
ments. The negro only respects the rich. Mr. Wilson
is in that favourable condition in consequence of the
funds placed at his disposal, and which enables him to be
generous."

The news from Algiers is to the 2d inst. It would
appear, from the following extract from the Ahbar,
that AID-EL-KADER is acquiring immense influence

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
(From The Sun of Last Night.)
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was qu'et.
Sales, 6,000 bales, at previous rates. Shares were dull.
By ship arrival we have accounts of May 10 from
Melbourne, Port Phillip. These read satiifactorily.
upon the whole, and, except that the colony was pro-
gressing quietly and steadily, we see very little to notice.
The intelligence from the East Indies, received to-day,
is satisfactory in a commercial point of view.
The Funds have been•steady to-day, in the absence of
any extensive dealings. Consols are 96 to 96k for pre-
sent transfer, and 96/ + for time. The premium on
Exchequer-bills is still rather flat at lls. to 155., which !
is the result of money being somewhat dearer. The
New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been quoted
at 98i, and the Three per Cent. Reduced Annuities 961
to /. Band Stock is worth 210 to 211, which is the full
advance of yesterday.
The transactions in the Foreign Market are for the
most part at slightly easier quotations. Spanish Five per
Cents. have been quoted 26;j; and the Three per Cents.
38 to I. Portuguese Four per Cents. have been 42/ to
43 for time. Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cents. are
97, and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. 59k. Mexi
can Stock is at 251 4, and Equaddur 3i Brazil Bonds
have realised 89/.
In Shares there is very little doing, and prices re-
main in most respects the same as yesterday.
