AND DISPATCH ES,
ARE NOW COMPLETED,
Ity the Publication cf the Seventh Volume.
Subscribers are therefore requested to complete thsir s without

tate. The Repeal Committee axe to prepare Bills for
presentation to Parliament on the follpwing subjects:—
, .•

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 fur 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
Powers 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 it,
realisation will be on a gigantic scale, and in a
civilised age. England and France, by conniving at
this final destruction of Poland, will render
themselves liable to the most unendurable im-
putation. After allowing Poland to be torn
to pieces and cast, limb by limb, before
the northern Powers, they will now to all appearance
throw the last mournful fragment of that nation be-
fore Austria and Russia, to appease the territorial
avarice of those empires, or, at the least, to ensure
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 am,
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.
It is by these incessant and criminal transactions.
it is by the trifling away of nationality for the selfisl
purpose of individual aggrandisement, that the honour
of nations 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 freedon-.
of Europe may be ultimately juggled away, and the
liberal spirit of its constitutions be frittered down t(
the semblance of its ancient thraldom.

expect to see any of them brought to maturity dur-

Ireland will entirely absorb the whole of the time
that Parliament will be enabled to devote to that

attention to the other great national interests to which
its legislation must be directed.

The following extract from a letter, dated Vienna,
7th Noyember, appears in the Nurenzburgh 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 Tyrol,
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."

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

" COLUMN OF OPERATIONS ON THE NORTH OF THE

TAGUS.

" Quarters at Cintra, Nor. 7, 1846.
" I hasten to bring to your Excellency's knowledge,
that having set out at seven o'clock this morning
from Agualva, I took the road to Cintra, and at eight
we first saw the rebel position, on the road between
the quintas of Quadros and Ignacio de Barron. 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
saw 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
of Quadros. We had no sooner compelled them to
evacuate their positioas 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 ofCintra is wellknown); and,unhappily, being well
acquainted with the ground, they had time to retire up the
Serra. I marclaed 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 well
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 end 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
Municipal Guard, assisted me to the utmost of his
power, as a cavalry officer, and after haring 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,
advanced sword in hand to the charge with the cavalry;
and of Lieutenant Veripenio, who conducted himself
with great courage.
" God guard your Excellency.
"B. A. ILIIARCO, Major.

On looking through the general intelligence whit
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 unablt
to congratulate the public, since the first outbreak
that equally established the alarm of tht
people and the presence among them of actual
destitution. The fact we allude to is t•
wholesome sign that the spirit of insubordination,
which it was not long since feared might spread itsel
to an uncontrollable degree, is in a great measurt
quelled. We are not as yet sanguine enough to be-
lieve that the public tranquillity will not be agait
partially compromised ; but even if we should not bt
mistaken (and we sincerely trust we may), the saint
firmness, if necessary, and the same practical re-
buke, which the Lord-Lieutenant recently adrninis•
tered to the insurgents, will operate as a salutary
check. The Board of WTorks have already suc•
ceeded in swelling the list of their employed
to 150,000, thus demonstrating an activit.)
on the part of the officials which cannot be too
highly lauded. The enormous expenditure, which is
being here in incurred, lead many to think that the
resources will soon be dried up, and that it will be
found impossible to find permanent employment foi
the stricke n population, so as to carry them throne
the winter.. We do not share in this despondency .
Whilst foe d 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 'reit mil presents to our view at thi
moment), it could not be otherwise in the.
outset than that the Board of Public Work,
should draw largely upon the public finances, to be
hereafter re paid by the lands upon which they are
being respectively allocated. Looking, moreover, to
the urgent econdition of the impoverished and perish-
ing people, .certain abuses, in the earlier stages of thi:
vast operati •n, could not, without a miracle, be pre-
vented from t creeping in. These, however, have
been quickly discerned, and are being judiciously
suppressed. Thus, many have been receiving
wages uni ler public authority whose real
circumstance s were not sufficiently stringent to
entitle then a to such a method of remune-
ration. Al gain, farmers could not secure la-
bour to til 11 their acres, in consequence of the
preference 3 vhich the labourers felt for bestowing
their toil on public works. According to one official
notice, the fait -at class will be rapidly weeded out from
the Governna ant list, and, by virtue of another, the
farmers have only to intimate to the stewards their
want of hand s, and disposition to pay fair wages, and
the compleris ent of labour they require will be forth-
with at the command ; since, in case the persons
selected should refuse the occasional employment
offered by the farmers, they would be imme
diately disci] arged by the officers of the public works.
But now ti tat food is becoming cheaper, that large
openings fa employment are being made under the
joint auspic .s of public and private undertakings, and,
above all, tit at landlords are becoming aware that by
themselves. r oust the expense of feeding and employing
the destit utt 3 be chiefly and justly borne, and of the
consequent importance of distributing the physical
energies cf ti tie distressed in channels of reproductive
industry, we see good reason for believing that these
circumstance s, with the benefit of voluntary relief
superaddod, will have the desired effect of
succourin g t. he Irish from the distress which, it is
thought by r early, unreflectingly, as it seems to us,
must inesita oly overtake them before long.
The R epe al Association met on Monday. A Roman
Catholic bi shop was present,' the Right Rev. Dr,
BROWNE 3ishop of Elphin). It was the first time
a bishop h ad been seen in Conciliation Hall. The
novelty w as warmly acknowledged. The Bishop
assured tb e meeting of the approval with which
the enti re body of the Roman Catholic clergy
viewed I she " moral force " principles of Mr.
O'Cosas 11 The conduct of " Young Ireland "
was se vel rely censured by his Lordship. The
rent for ' the week amounted to 3721. From Boston
alone s $ -contribution of 2001. was received. These
Transe tie ntic donations are invidiously regarded by
some, mil an undue importance of a political charac-
ter is Kttempted to be attached to them. For our
part, ve see nothing objectionable in them. Thou-
sands of Irish flock to the American continent, and
it is n unnatural that, credulous enough to fancy
repeal would render their country happy and pros-
perous 1, they should follow the bent of mistaken
patrio ssm, and occasionally remit to the exchequer of
the I lssociation. Mr. O'CONNELL entered into a
warm defence of his conduct towards his tenantry,
towart Is whom he appears to have acted with great
liberal ity and kindness. By the large and propor-
tional abatement he has made in his rents, and the
pawnt ity of food he has purchased, he has set an
e ele wllieh other landlords would do well to ital..

Madrid papers of the 11th inst. have been received.
They contain the address of the Progresisita Com-
mittee to the electors. The pledges they require
from candidates are, that they shall defend individual
liberty, freedom of the press, and of the jury; that
they shall demand the institution of a national mi-
litia, and insist on the extinction of tithes and the in-
troduction of economy in the public expenditure.
MADRID BoLsa.—The Three per Cents. were done at
334 for cash ; the Four per Cents. at 21i ; the Five per
Cents. at 214 ; the Coupons at 20 ; the Vales at 84 ;
and the Debt without Interest at 64.

We have received the Paris papers of Monday.
On Sunday, at a Cabinet Council held at St. Cloud,
and 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 Duc DE BOR-
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.
The 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
on 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
►bsu rd analogies. The Journal des _Mats 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
aocial and political power; in the other it was swept
away by a storm. When the "Mats 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
,n 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
:he French people. He has evidently some shrewd
advisers about him, and has the wisdom to adopt their
suggestions. 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. He has here absolutely
anticipated the Government in providing for the re-
lief of public misery:—
"Monsieur le Margais,—You know that I desire
‘bove all to signalise by succour to the indigent classes
-he happy epoch of my marriage, and my thanks to
Divine Providence for having removed all the obstacles
which have hitherto opposed it. Although compelled to
-eside in a foreign land, I cannot be insensible to the
nisfortunes of my own country. Reflecting upon the
learness of provisions and the just alarm which that
Arcumstance must excite for the rigorous season on
Nhich we are about to enter, I have sought how I could
contribute to the relief of the public misery. It has up-
neared to me that the best use to be made of the sums of
,vhich I can dispose is to establish at Chambord, and in
he forests which still belong to us, charitable establish-
ments for labour (des a4tiers de charit4), which in
ffering to the poor inhabitants of the district certain
abour during the approaching winter, will furnish them
.v ith the means of providing for their wants and those of
heir families. I charge you, then, to adopt the nem-
try measures for the execution of a project which I
,hould like to see extended to the whole of France. As
or me, I may at least congratulate myself with having
rendered less severe the conditioia of unfortunate Frenc-
hmen, who by their particular position have additional
claims upon me.

the Ccurrier. Francal:;, the bands of armed mendi-
cants were increasing to a frightful extent, and, not-

withstanding the activity of th,- gendarmes, conti-
nued their depredations. This jacquerie has extended
to the neighbourhood of Beauvais, where, on the
night of the 11 th 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 11th, which states that a band of
Carlists, 47 in number, had been arrested at Urbanya,
that eight more had been arrested at Carcasonne,
and 27 more at Narbonne. There were several
officers among them. A depot of arms had been
seized at Quillen. 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 Buxoo, 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 " Yost-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,
Mecklenburgh, 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.
