brand of the CID, and the beneficent sceptre of FER-
DINAND.

PORTUGAL REQUIRES PEACE! If ever free-
dom from external assault was essential to a
people, it is at this time essential to the Portuguese.
If ever a concurrence of circumstances tended to
convince a nation of the danger of provoking hostili-
ties beyond its frotiers, it has done so at this
time in the injance of Portugal. Portugal,
we repeat it, requires peace, and it does
so more than it has ever done since the days when
King DINIz chaunted ditties in the mellifluous lan-
guage of CAMOENS. The faithlessness of MARIA DA
GLORIA; the shameless intrigues of the CADRALS ;
the forcible dispersion of the Oporto junta; the
harshness displayed towards Bolan' ; the expatriations
to Angola ; the invidious treatment of DAs ANTAS
and SA DA BANDEIRA ; the repressive proceedings of
SALDANHA when in power, and their continuance
since his retirement from the:Government ;—all these
things have plunged the land of GAMA into confusion,
and rendered time and opportunity necessary for its
restoration to happiness.

SWITZERLAND REQUIRES PEACE! Ever since the
Sonderbund was destroyed by the strong arm of a
Radical Vorort—ever since the soldiers of OCHSEN.'
DEIN marched in triumph through the streets of
Lucerne—there has been a positive and paramount
.necessity for the maintenance of quietude along the
boundaries of the Confederation. The miserable dis-
union of the different cantons from the moment
when the landsgemeinde decreed the suppression of
certain convents in Argovie—tending by that means
to embroil the religious factions of the Republic—
demands that tranquillity should be maintained for
the healing of all the wounds caused by the late
internecine strife. Beyond this the Federal Pact
must be revised for the purpose of stabili-
tating the Helvetic Constitution; and for doing
this an abstinence from intestine and international
warfare is the readiest preparation.
GREECE REQUIRES PEACE! If it required
peace before the death of COLETTI and the
destruction of the stock jobbing Ministry of
GUIZOT, Greece has a double need for it since the
removal of those two enormous obstacles to its pros-
perity. By a judicious employment of the advan-
tages thus thrust upon him, King OTHO may relieve
his memory from the odium resulting from many
preceding blunders. We have but feeble hopes of
any sagacious movement on the part of a SOVE-
REIGN so notoriously inefficient, but this much
is tolerably certain, that no military aggression can
be anticipated from a kingdom which has become
effete and powerless under the pernicious operation
of a systematic financial negligence.

GERMANY REQuimis PEACE ! Peace we mean
from beyond the limits of its gigantic territories—
peace southwards of Moravia—peace among, the
passes of the Tyrol—peace beyond the lake of Con-
stance, beyond Basel and Coblentz, beyond Gruben-
hagen and Hamburgh. We can trace this necessity
in the kingdoms of Bavaria, of Wurtemburg, of
Saxony, and of Hanover, as well as in the
Grand Duchies of Baden, of Darmstadt, of Hesse
Cassel, of Nassau, of Brunswick, of Meck-
lenburgh, and in the less important principalities.
From the extremities of Pomerania to the confluence
of the Iser and the Inn this want of internal tran-
quillity among the confederated states of Germany is
at once perceptible. To each of those states war
would act so far prejudicially that it would impede
the progress of those political reforms which the pre-
s< rvation of peace has of late forwarded so mira-

culously.
DENMARK, SWEDEN, AND NORWAY, ALL RE-
QUIRE PEACE I Demnark, because of the li-
beral innovations already commenced at the
instance of the reigning Monarch ; Sweden
and Norway, because of the paternal leniency
of the rule of King OSCAR, a leniency which may
ultimately ripen into the nobler qualities of a crowned
Liberator.

Everywhere, therefore, throughout Europe, peace
is required by the more generous and least despotic
Govt-rnments, so that if, as we observed yesterday,
the torch of continental war be again lighted the
came of its ignition will be discoverable among the
inflammatory archives of tyranny.
_ _ _

Already there are signs of preparation in the
capitals of Northern Absolutism. Prussian troops
have already marched to the occupation of Bohemia,
and Russian troops are on the eve of entering Gallicia
and Hungary, so as to allow the Austrians to act
with fearless energy in the suppression of the insur-
gent people of Venetian Lombardy. The footsteps of
the despots moving southwards are even now audible.
Woe be to them if their mercenaries flesh their
swords beyond the frontiers of Freedom !

Notwithstanding the vexatious delays interposed
by its opponents, the Roman Catholic Relief Bill
yesterday made considerable progress in Committee,
and we trust that ere long the last remaining vestige
of intolerance may be swept away from our statute-
book, and the blot removed from the British
escutcheon. For centuries a large and influential
portion of our countrymen groaned under the ini-
quitous laws imposing the most annoying restrictions
and disqualifications upon every man who would not
give in his adhesion to the form of worship prescribed
by Act of Parliament. Liberty of conscience was
unknown.

It is not now necessary to recur to the provisions
of the abominable penal code which was so long
maintained in violation of every principle of justice
and public policy. At length a more enlightened
and tolerant spirit bedame prevalent ; various con-
cessions were made from time to time. Each were
in turn protested against with the utmost energy by
the bigots of the day, who on each successive occasion
prophesied the downfal of the British Constitution,
which they asserted would be the inevitable conse-
quence of the alteration about to be carried. The
vaticinations were, however, disregarded, and the
result proved the folly of those who desired to per-
petuate the disabilities of their fellow-citizens. The
laws were either repealed or became obsolete. The
penalties were abrogated, and the code became par-
tially of no effect; but provisions still remained which,
although wholly inoperative and incapable of being
enforced, had a most insulting effect upon the general
body of Roman:Catholics in the country. The object of
the present Bill is altogether to repeal these remnants
of intolerance, which afford no security whatever,
andj whose only possible effect can be to irritate
and annoy our brethren, by showing that they
are still distrusted and subjected to slights on
account of their creed. It is scarcely credible
that a dozen Members could be found to resist so
laudable a measure, and yet, strange to say, every
clause is debated and resisted with the utmost perti-
nacity, and repeated divisions are forced on, when
their only effect can be to delay the progress of the
Bill for a few short weeks.

It is not by exhibiting distrust of any class that
their friendly co-operation can be secured. We
desire that Roman Catholics should continue good
and loyal subjects, in every respect actuated by
national sentiments. What can be better calculated
to keep them so than placing them on a perfect
equality with their fellow-citizens? They have been
so during the season of their persecution, but it was
despite the enactments that were levelled against
them. Their fidelity to their country wita too strong
to be shaken even by such measures.
We should desire to see the total and unconditional
repealo
of every disabling statute and every insulting
reference.
If anything were done injurious to the
peace of the nation, it could be amply punished by
the other laws in force, and by which every subject,
no matter what may be his creed, is equally bound.
The Right Honourable Gentleman the Member for
Dungarvan put the question in its. proper light,
when, after showing that the common law
repealed would
r
remain unaffected whether the statute Ras
not, he said, " The pains and penalties of the Act
.had been abrogated ; the sting had been taken out of
't, why then let it remain in the statute-book ? It was
not only nugatory, it was an offensive Act, for it
asserted a falsehood, and it ought, therefore, to be
repealed." Sir J. GRAHAM, too, spoke in a manly
and straightforward manner on the subject. The
Right Hon. Baronet said, " He would not stop there ;
he would go the whole length of saying that if the
common law were inoperative for the purpose of
punishing a party in this country for denying the
spiritual supremacy of the Crown—in the wide sense
in which that term could be understood—he would
be quite content that the common law should not

create that an offence, which would be an offence
affecting the liberties and consciences of at least one-
third of her MAJESTY'S subjects. He was not
at all alarmed, either at the probable effect of the re-
peal of these clauses, or at leaving the common law
inoperative in the matter. He saw no occasion what
ever in these days to institute any penalties either
operating indirectly by statute,:or directly by common
law, which he was certain, if attempted to be en-
forced, would be found inconsistent with the peace of
the country." These are sentiments worthy of a
British statesman, and which were well worthy of
the cheers with which they were received. It is in
this spirit that the House will legislate, and notwith-
standing the delays and obstructions that have been
interposed, we doubt not that we shall speedily be
enabled to congratulate the country upon the final
triumph of the measure.

Letters from Copenhagen of the 29th February state
that the obsequies of the late King CHRISTIAN VIII.
took place on the Friday preceding, with the greatest
possible pomp. Several Norwegians who were at
Copenhagen joined the funeral procession.

Letters from Naples state positively that the KING
has refused to accede to the proposition of Lord
MINT°, to grant the Sicilians the constitution of
1812. The time for giving a formal reply had not
expired, but the resolution of the KING was, never-
theless, known. Whether the revolution in France
may not by this time have given another turn to the
KING'S mind remains to be seen.

Madrid journals of the 2d instant have arrived.
All was quiet at that date. The discussion on
the Bill granting Ministers the power of suspending
the constitution had been brought to a close.
MADRID BOLBA, MARCH 2.—The Three per Cents.
were done at 241 at 50 days; the Five per Cents. at
14 for paper ; and the Debt without Interest, at St.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
Everything remained perfectly tranquil in Paris,
and the Ministers were employed in the duties of
administration. The Minister of War is making
arrangements for the relief of the National Cril.ra. of
Paris from their onerous duties, by the recalling of
the regular troops, and the Minister of the Interior
in preparing for the elections. The Presse, in the
course of a long article on the subject of the elections,
highly disapproves of the proposed allowance of 25f.
per day to be made to each Deputy.
The Moniteur contains a decree of the Provisional
Government, which raises to 5 per cent. the interests
on deposits in the savings' banks. " This measure is
one of justice," says the decree; "the small capitalist
ought to be placed on an equality with his richer
contemporary. Already the interest on Treasury
bonds has been raised to 5 per cent. Why should
not that upon the smaller obligations of the State be
fixed at an equal figure, and thus tend to the welfare
of the industrious classes, the produce of whose
economies constitute the principal portion of the
funds of the savings' banks ?" _ _

It also publishes a decree of the Provisional Go-
vernment instituting in the manufacturing and com-
mercial towns national banks of discount, the capital
of which is to be composed—one-third of money sub-
scribed by the associates, one-third of city bonds, and
the other of Treasury bonds.
Another decree institutes a national bank of dis-
count in Paris, with a capital of 20,000,000 f. The
merchants of that capital had subscribed one-third of
that sum ; the city of Paris was to issue bonds to the
amount of the second third, and the Government
Treasury bonds for the other.
A third decree places the savings' banks under the
guarantee of national loyalty, and raises the interest
to be paid by the State on the investments to five per
cent. from the 10th of March next.

M. DUCLERC had been appointed Under-Secretary
of State of the Ministry of Finance.
M. D'HARCOURT has been appointed Ambassador to
London, M. D'ALTON SHEE to Turin, M. DE BOISSY
to Rome, M. DE TRACY to the United States, M. DE
MOSKOWA to Spain, M. DE BEAUMONT YAM" to
Denmark, and General FAUvIER at Constantinople.
On Tuesday the Archbishop of PARIS, accom-
panied by two Vicars-General, attended at the Hotel
de Ville, and gave in his adhesion to the Provisional
Government in the name of the entire clergy of the
diocese. M. DUPONT DE L'EURE, President of the
Government, thus replied to the prelate :

" The Provisional Government receives with the
liveliest satisfaction your adhesion to the Government
of the Republic. Liberty and religion are two
sisters, equally interested to live on good terms with
each other. We rely on your co-operation and on
that of the clergy, as you may rely on the sentiments
of benevolence of the Provisional Government."

The Republic has been proclaimed at Toulon and
Rochefort.

Bou-MAzA. has been arrested in the neighbourhood
of Brest, attempting to escape to England.
. . . _

The news of the French Revolution reached
Vienna on the Ist, and produced the most indes-
cribable consternation in that capital, which was not
at all diminished by the news which arrived from
Italy at the same time.
The payment of the dividends on the Five, Four-
and-a-Half, and Four per Cents., commenced in
Paris on the 6th inst. The sums paid on that day
by the Treasury amounted to 3,893,916 f.
The Siecle gives the following description of the
manner in which the votes are to be taken at the
approaching elections :
" The electoral rights of citizens are attested by
the register of the name. Every elector should,
therefore, present himself at the mayory of his
arrondissement or commune, in order to have his
name inscribed. The only document he will have
to pioduce will be the register of his birth. On
receiving this document, the Mayor will deliver to
him a bulletin of inscription, signed by him, and
containing the name, profession, age, and residence of
the citizen.

" These bulletins delivered by the Mayor, will be
sent by him to the chef lieu of the canton, and by
the assistance of which the lists of electors will be
drawn up. It is useless to add that these lists will
be made generally public, so that each citizen may
have the power of causing to be erased any indivi-
duals who are rendered incompetent by Art. 6 of the
decree.

" When these lists are drawn out, individual cards
made from them will, a few days before the elections,
be deposited at the mayory and placed at the disposal
of each elector.

" This card will give the right of admission to
the citizen to his section.

" The difficulties which might arise in populous
districts will be got over in the following manner :
" The general list of the Department of the Seine
will be divided into approximative sections of 500
electors; so that the electors circumscribed within a
narrow extent, will vote together at the place of
meeting of their section, which will be pointed out
on the card delivered to the elector.

" Every one will then inscribe his name on the
bulletin which will be delivered to him, as many
names of candidates as there are to be deputies for
the department.
" Those who cannot write must, as in other official
documents, have their mark attested by two wit-
nesses.

In each section a proces verbal shall be drawn up
of the number of votes, which will be transmitted to
to the chef lieu of the department, when the definitive
amount of the voting will be made up.
" The members of the National Assembly will be
elected according to a majority of votes, the minimum
number must exceed 2,000."

The Island of Bourbon, is to resume the name of
Reunion Island.

A. commission is appointed for distributing funds
necessary for the service of religion, and the preserva-
tion and restoration of churches.
The loss of the war brig l'Abeille on the west
coast of Africa, on the 11th of December last, is con-
firmed. The crew saved.

Tun REVENIJL—A Parliamentary paper, which
has just been printed, gives the amount of revenue money
not paid into the Exchequer, but deducted for the cost of
collection and other purposes. The total amount of
deductions for the gross receipts not paid into the Exche-
quer, in revenue departments, is 5,904,0901.; and the

ANNETTE MwrEßs.—We are informed that a peti-

ber Majesty to grant a commutation of the sentence
passed upon this unfortunate woman. The Stock Ex-
change does not often interfere in cases of this kind, but
the sympathy expressed in behalf of Annette Meyers
was very general, and confident hopes are entertained
that the appeal is her behalf will be successful,

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was dull
again, at lower rates, by Id. to Id. per lb. on Egyptian,
and Id. on American. Sales about 3,500 bales. Shares
were flatter also.
There is but little apprehension now entertained here
that the acts of violence committed by the rabble in
various parts of the metropolis will be continued. In
the City business, which was yesterday almost entirely
put an end to by the early closing of the shops, fearing
a visit from a West-end or an East-end body of rioters,
has been resumed this morning with its wonted degree
of confidence. There are a few idlers about
'Change, principally boys, who are constantly kept
on the move by the efforts of the police.
Some very interesting accounts have come to hand
this morning from the Cape of Good Hope. The dates
are later from Cape Town and from Graham's Town.
A most important meeting of the Kafir chiefs, and
their followers, mound!): in all to about 2,000 to 2,500
men, held a conclave with Sir H. Smith, the Governor-
General of the colopy, when fealty was sworn to the
in
protectors of the soil, the name of Queen Victoria.
The Governor, dressed in his uniform, entered, with his
staff, the circle of the chiefs and natives ; and a prayer
having been given by a Wesleyan minister, in the native
language, composed, it is said, by the Governor-
General, which was heard with great attention, the
address of his Excellency was given by him in a bold
and simple style.
The chiefs and the people bailed the Lieutenant-
Governor with most enthusiastic cheers, the band of the
troops brought forward on the occasion, 'playing " God
save the Queen." The whole proceeding passed off most
satisfactorily.
There has been a very heavy market for the Public
Securities this morning. Little influenced were prices by
the mobility movements of yesterday, but the Continen-
tal advices are held to be of very serious importance.
Consols for account opened rather firmly at 811, fell to
801, rallied again to 81, but again went back to 801.
The fluctuations in Money Stock have been rather rapid
from 81i to 801, with many intermediate changes
in the figures. The Reduced Three per Cent.
Annuities dropped from 814 to 80j, and then rallied to
811. The premium upon Exchequer-bills has been re-
duced from 275. to 245., and Bank Stock is at 193.
In the Foreign Funds there has been an increase of
business this morning. There has been a quotation
given as low as 95 for the Russian Five per Cents. The
Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have suddenly re-
ceded from 43 to 414. The Four per Cents. are at 71
to 72. Spanish Stocks are very low indeed, namely, at
12 for the Account, and the Three per Cents. have been
sold at 23. Brazilian Five per Cents. command 79; the
hiliwn es}, cud Mexican 14 j.
In the market for the Railway Shares there has been
but a trifling desire shown to purchase. The prices
are flat.
