THE SUN,

WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 22, 1851.

They actually attempt to intimidate the public into
silence ! They threaten the people of the United
Kingdom with the terrible consequence of persevering
in their projected manifestations ! They warn the
multitude that if by proceedings like those here repro-
bated by the apologists of absolutism they in any way
seriously offend the Viennese Government, the result
may be terrible for us, the Austrian empire may
throw its weight into the Russian scale, the KAISER
may become the aide-de-camp of the AUTOCRAT!
May become, forsooth ! As if FRANCIS JOSEPH was
not already not merely the aide-de-comp of NICHOLAS,
but something much more despicable, his lacquey and
bondsman—bound to the car of his supreme authority
by the shackles of gratitude. Why the Councils of
Vienna have become necessarily subordinate to those
of St. Petersburgh, ever since the descendant
of Runoarif was compelled to call for aid upon
the Cossacks, when WELDEN, and HAYNAU'
and WINDISCHGRATE were, supplanted in mili-
tary position by the AUTOCRAT'S well-be-
loved lieutenant, Prince Peskewercn. Yet,
ignoring the whole of these notorious facts, the apo-
logists of the Austrian policy and the calumniators
of KOSSUTH are endeavouring to frighten the people
of England into an attitude of indifference, by warn-
ing them that the indulgence of their present en-
thusiasm may forfeit to us the friendship and alliance
of the Viennese Government. As if the Viennese
Government had not ample opportunity for
the display of this same annoyance when the in-
famous HAYNAU was scouted with signs of exe-
cration by the labouring classes of the English me-
tropolis. If Austria had the courage to " break "
with our Government because of any popular movement
amongst ourselves, she would not have waited until now
for the opportunity. But, even supposing there was any
reasonableness in this assertion of the apologists of
continental absolutism—would it be likely, think you,
that the people of this free country would desist from
displaying their love and their admiration for a great
man on his arrival here amongst us, simply through a
dread that the Ministerial advisers of the boy-Em-
peror may turn from an English alliance in dudgeon
because of their so doing ? Rubbish ! The spies of
the Austrian Government had better adopt some
more rational scheme of interference, some scheme
better calculated to affect the minds of the
British population than that of trumping up
these old women's tales, and trying to
frighten the public into quietude by the scooped
turnip and the empty sheet of Austrian indignation.
Otherwise they will find themselves very marvellously
mistaken if they calculate by these means upon alter-
ing the tide of the popular enthusiasm.
Rather nervous as to the probable failure of all
their previous calumnies and misrepresentations, the
paid spies and salaried apologists of the Austrian Go-
vernment are beginning to indulge themselves more
freely and indiscriminately in personalities directed
against the more conspicuous participators in the
approaching KOSSUTH demonstration. Their scurri-
lity attains no bounds—for example, in regard to the
three Members of Parliament who dared to appear
on Monday upon the platform of the meeting at
Westminster, one of them goes to the length
of vituperating Mr. O'Cossioa as the " Chartist,
FEARGUS," of sneering at Sir DE LACY EvANS as
" the Spanish knight-errant," and of assailing Lord
DUDLEY COUTTS STUART by the very disgraceful and
opprobrious epithet of "My Lord." Elsewhere those
three unfortunates are nicknamed with very admir-
able point and sagacity " three tailors"—the said tailors
being representatives of the people of England in the
Imperial Legislature, one of them for the important
borough of Nottingham, and the other two for metro-
politan constituencies. With these very classical
weapons of irony the hireling calumniators of the
great man who is now
,daily expected to arrive
amongst us from his exile at the opposite
extremity of the Mediterranean, are laying about them
just now with a sort of blind fury, deepened by a
knowledge that their previous slanders and scurrili-
ties have been altogether ineffectual in diminishing
the warmth of the popular enthusiasm. Let them
rail on unmolested. Their yelpings can only cheer
the people of England on to a yet more ardent wel-
come of KOSSUTH, both at Southampton and in the
capital. The multitude should bear these things in
their remembrance throughout the whole of the forth-
coming demonstration. They should recollect most
vividly the dastardly course pursued by the venal
friends of Austria, and the remembrance should
only induce them to be more and more enthusistic in
the manifestations of their homage for the genius,
the valour, and the patriotism of his Excellency Louis
Kossurer, the illustrious ex• Dictator of the Hun-
garians.

their statement, as had good Mrs. JOHNSON, and with
many expressions of compassion, directed that they
should be well cared for by the authorities, and passed
' back to Ireland. Loud were the praises lavished on
Mr. A'BECKETT for his humanity, and on Mrs.
JOHNSON for her benevolence, anOhe SUDAN case was
immediately booked as valuable stock by the getters-
up of grievances against Irish landlords in general,
and Whig landlords in particular. It happens, fortu-
nately, for the ends of justice that the Marquis of
LANSDOWNE does not indulge in the silly supercili-
ousness of some of his colleagues ; he does not
pretend that "he never reads newspapers," on the
contrary, he, like all other sensible men, daily
peruses " the usual channels of information," and
finding this case of the SITBANS therein recorded, he
at once dispatched to Mr. ATECKETT the followinfA•
letter, which was yesterday read from the bench by
that gentleman :

"Bowood, Oct. 20, 1851.

" Lord Lansdowne presents his compliments to Mr.
A'Bcckett, and his attention having been called to a. re-
port a few days ago of the proceedings at the South-
wark Police-court, in which it appeared that two women
of the name of Suban represented themselves to be
daughters of a person who ha; been butler in his fa-
mily, arid that they had been sent from a cabin on his
estate in the county of Cork; he therefore thinks it
right to prevent Mr. A'Beckett and the public being
imposed upon, by stating that ho never had a butler of
the name of Suban, and that he was never possessed of
an estate in the county of Cork.
"To G. A'Beckett, Esq., Southwark Police-office."

This case of the SußANsis, we have every reason to be-
lieve, not the exception but the rule, and we cannot
but regret that the statement of the Marquis LANs-
DowNE was not received in time to prevent the depor-
tation of these impostors to Ireland until they should
have undergone in an English house of correction the
punishment due to their fradulent misrepresentations,
and we trust that in future care will be taken that
persons making similar applications shall, before
their removal to Ireland, be detained a sufficient time
to enable inquiry to be made as to the truth of the
statements, and that in every instance in which fraud
or falsehood can be brought home to any applicant,
he or she shall be severely punished.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The Ministerial crisis still continues, and the Bo-
napartist organs seem to have abated somewhat of
their good spirits.
The Presse announces that M. LEON FAUCUER
reassures his friends that he was not mistaken when
he said Le President reflechira et fiechira.
The Bourbonist journals are bitter in their denun-
ciations of the PRESIDENT.

The Sikle has the following on the Ministerial
crisis :

" It is announced that the Ministerial crisis will ter-
minate, at the latest, towards the middle of this week.
M. Louis Bonaparte has at least given this promise to
the Cabinet which has resigned, and under the following
circumstances:—On Saturday morning M. Carlier de-
clared that it was impossible for him to remain any
longer at his post, and he requested the President of the
Republic to appoint his successor. M. Louis Bonaparte
begged M. Carlier to have patience for a few diva longer,
but the latter insisted so warmly, and eyen with fi display of
ill-humour, that the President told him that he might
consider himself as released, and that a temporary Pre-
fect of Police should be Earned. M. Louis Bonaparte
immediately sent for M. Leon Faucher, to arrange with
him on the choice of a new Prefeot of Police ; but
the Minister replied that, in the temporary situation in
which he was himself placed, he did not think he could
countersign the nomination of a new functionary, and
that, as M. Carlier absolutely wished to leave for Sens,
it would be better to confide the post ad interim to his
Secretary• General, M. Clement Reyre. M. Louis
Bonaparte insisted with his Minister of the Interior
that a new Prefect of Police should be immediately
appointed ; but, not being able to overcome the re-
sistance of M. Leon Faucher, he rens compelled to adopt
the suggestion, and agree to the ad interim management
of the office by M. C. Reyre. The other Ministers, on
being informed by their colleague of the Interior that
M. Carlier was preparing to leave for Sens, abandoning
to the Secretary-General the direction of the Police,
went to M. Lcuis Bonaparte, and in their turn requested
to be relieved of their portfolios. M. Barcche pointed
out how painful it was to him and his colleagues to play
the parts of Ministerial hats for so long a time, and
that, moreover, the departure of M. Carlier from the
Prefecture of Police was not calculated to tranquillise
the Cabinet, which had no longer any force, and was
nevertheless responsible to the public for the main-
tenance of order and public tranquillity. M. Louis
Bonaparte, who had up to this time remained silent,
then expressed his surprise at this collective step, and
added that he could not have believed that men whom
he had honoured with his confidence for so long a time
should thus press him at a moment when he was using
all his efforts to form a new Cabinet. He concludes by
saying that he only asked his old ad►isers to retain
their portfolios for four days longer, and promised them
that everything should ho terminated by Tuesday even-
ing or Wednesday morning. The Ministers then re-
tired, after receiving this formal promise. On leaving
the President of the Republic, two membors of the
Cabinet went to M. Carlier, and succeeded in making
him change his resolution. M. Carlier consented to re-
main for two or three days longer at the Prefecture.
When M. Louis Bonaparte thus spoke to the expiring
Cabinet, there were some conferences with M. Billault.
Since that time other conferences have taken place
between the President and different personages, and it
is probable that in one way or the other, we shall have
a Cabinet to-morrow morning. We also know that at
the moment when M. Billatilt took leave of the Presi-
dent, he told him he should immediately return into
Brittany, when the President begged him to postpone
his departure, and not to quit Paris before Wednesday,
which would appear to indicate that an arrangement
with M. Billault is not yet considered impossible."
M. DUPIN has returned to Paris.

That cruelties of a most atrocious character have
been in days gone by practised by certain of the
Irish landlords on their unfortunate and insolvent
tenantry is, unhappily, matter of notoriety, and it is
equally notorious that in these latter days, scared it
may be by the terrors of that which Mr. O'Coetsam.
was wont to designate as " the wild justice of re-
venge," Irish landlords and Irish ratepayers have in
too many instances sought to obtain that by fraud
which in former days they had obtained by force, and
that by false representations to the cottiers, whose
removal from the estate it was desired to obtain, whilst
at the same time it was equally desirable to shift the
burden of their maintenance upon other parties, the
landlords and ratepayers have succeeded in inducing
helpless cottiers to come over to England (and as an
inducement have in many instances paid for them
their passage money), under the idea that they could
in England earn with certainty and with small ex-
ertion a comfortable livelihood. That there are too
many instances, well authenticated instances, in
which this sort of fraud has been successfully prac-
tised on the credulous and unsuspecting cottier
tenantry of an over-populated Irish estate,
must be at mace admitted, and when these
unfortunate persons, finding themselves destitute in
England, have made their cases known they have in-
variably been relieved by the proper authorities, and
in many instances have, by the benevolent, been
placed in a position much superior to that which they
could have hoped to have attained had they depended,
like the working classes of England, solely upon their
own exertions. The alms of the benevolent thus ad-
ministered to the really distressed have, how-
ever, operated as a temptation to the per-
petration of the grossest frauds, not by the
Irish landlords not by Irish ratepayers, on the
tenantry and paupers, but by the soi- disant paupers
on the English public. For the last two years our
police-courts have been inundated and our work-
houses been swamped by pretended victims of Irish
ejectments, or dupes of pretended landlord misrepre-
sentations ; of these cases nine at least out
of ten are pure fabrications. The pauper
is according to law passed back to Ire-
land, being in the 'meantime maintained,
and well maintained, in a state of absolute idleness, at
the expense of the English ratepayers, until he is
landed in Ireland, where, instead of remaining, he at
once ships himself as deck passenger fur England,
and again practises the fraud of the " ejected
victim," is again maintained in idleness, and again
sent back, to once more repeat the trick in some other
locality. A. case strongly illustrating the truth of
our position occurred the other day at the South-
wark Pclice Court. Two Irishwomen, who stated
that they were sisters,

It was stated in the diplomatic circles, yesterday
evening, that although the Ministers of the Great
Continental Powers accredited to the PRESIDENT of
the Republic have received instructions to abstain
from any step, which could be regarded as an inter-
ference in the domestic affairs of France, they have
felt themselves authorised to apply for information as
to the chief points of the present Ministerial crisis,
and have convinced themselves that the PRESIDENT of
the Republic remains and will remain faithful to the
pledges which he has so frequently given for the
maintenance of order.

It is said that manifestoes from the Prince DB
JOINVILLE and from General CHANGARNIER will ap-
pear in the course of a few days.

SPAIN.

Madrid journals of the 16th have arrived.

The Kim had sent to the municipality of Pampe-
luna his own and the QUEEN'S portraits, accompanied
by a very flattering letter, as a mark of gratitude for
the attention shown him when he commanded a regi-
ment of cavalry in that town.
The Epoca says that the Committee of the Chamber
charged to examine the Bill on the press is divided on
the question whether the right of making seizures of
journals shall or shall not be reserved to the Govern-
ment.

GERMANY.

The Diet on the 18th admitted the proposition for
the organisation of a Federal Police force, but de-
cided that it should be stationed at Leipsic, and not
at Frankfort.

The Weser Gazette states from Berlin, 15th inst.,
that in the sitting of the Germanic Diet which fol-
lowed that in which Prussia was authorised to with-
draw the provinces of Prussia and Posen from the
confederation, Count MON, President of the Diet,
declared that in future there must be a majority of
two-thirds of the Diet to authorise the admission of
new states into the confederation.
