•
he is known throughout Etrope. It not BRron
BRoucHAm we reverence, but HENRY BRouGHAm,
the champion of the. oppressed--=the advocate of civil
and religious freedom We regret, therefore, that he
should have condescended to any sort of explanation
as to the reasons why he attended the late meetings in
Scotland. -' He should have left the question on the
high vantage ground on which it stood. There is no
man of the present day, whether we regard him as phi-
losopher or statesman, who occupies so proud a position
in the public mind as Lord- 11RouGuAm. In him is
embodied the Spirit of the age. He it is who directs its
movements--and this with quite as much power from the
Opposition Bench, as from the WoolsaCk. The peo-
ple reverence him as "-their guide, philosopher and
friend," and were never more dispo3ed to place un-
bounded confidence in him, than at the very moment
when his enemies, were every where giving out that his
popularity was on the wane. With the Tories indeed,
who, like SHAKSUARE'S fop, abhor the idea of a
" slovenly, unhandsome" people coming " between the
wind and their nobility," his Lordship was of course
growing more unpopular than ever, from his " mounte-
bank" peregrinations ; but surely no apology was due
to a haughty faction like this ? Again, therefore, we
express our regret that Lord BROUGHAM has thought
fit to give any, even the slightest, explanation of his
conduct when in Scotland.

A deputation of Westminster Electa waited yes-
terday on Sir FRANCIS BURDETT, t",Wquest an ex-
planatiOn of the conduct which he had pursued, rela-
tive to the choice of a Speaker, and to the amendment.
The Hon. Baronet made several strenuous efforts to
defend himself, but without success. Being at length
hard pressed by his constituents', he was compelled—
his small stock of sophistry being completely ex-
hausted—to: put on the semblance of virtuous
indignation, and exclaim that he would not per-
mit his house to be turned into " a little Par-
liament!" We congratulate Westminster on the ex,
Cellent Tory Member she has secured to herself in Sir
FRANCIS BURDETT. She little- thought—" good,
easy creature !"—when she was putting herself to so
much patriotic inconvenience to return him, that shewas
returning a Tory instead of a Liberal ! • Such, however,
is the case. Sir FRANCIS, by one of those niasble
evolutions, which even a-LYNDHURST might
envy, haS skipped from Liberalism to Toryism, and
will, no doubt, prove to be one of Sir RosERT
PEEL'S staunchest supporters. Let this console
the Tory Electors of WeitininSter, for the
loss of Sir, THOMAS COCH It A NE. The Hon. Baronet
will answer their purpose quite- as r efficiently as the
Knight, and be an excellent drag-chain on the move-
ments of Colonel EVANS. Poor Sir FRANCIS !
When we remember what he has been, we cannot
think without a
,sigh on what he is. We say so more in
sorrow than in anger, not unmindfill of, nor ungrateful
for, the past, yet unable, from a stern sense of duty, to
blink the present. The Hon. Baronet must either bid
adieu to Westminster ; or Westminster must bid adieu
to all character for political consistency.

There are two reports in The Sun of this day, to
which we beg to call the particular attention of our
readers. The first of these, in point of importance,
details the proceedings of sundry Magistrates at the
Middlesex Sessions. We find two cases exactly alike in
all respects brought before. their Worships, who ►►o doubt,
for the purpose of giving a little variety to their generally
unentertaining occupations, thought f►t to manage mat-
iers so that the one decision should completely neutralize
the other. Should some sage of thelaw in after times look
back to the present enlightened era, anxious to fortify
his opinion by a precedent drawn from the high autho-
rity of the Middlesex Bench, how he will be puzzled
at the glorious uncertainty of magisterial law in the
14,
beginning of the nineteenth century !
The other report exhibits the present state of the
contest now going on between the Middlesex .Magis-
trates and the Select Vestry of Hanover-square, re-
specting the County rates, in which, as it appears to
us, the Vestry have decidedly the:best of it. That a
balance of upwards of 20,0001. in favour of the County
should have been omitted in the treasurer's accounts, is
not a little singular. •

A telegraphic despatch from Vienna, by way of
Strasbuzg, appeared in the Moniteur of 'Wednesday,
anmouncing the sudden and serious illness of his Im-
perial Majesty the Emperor of AUSTRIA. Only a
part of the despatch appeared in the Moniteur, the
conclusion having been interrupted by the night. The
remainder, however, was received on Wednesday
morning, and was posted up at the Bourse before.l2
o'clock at noon. Taken together, it runs thus :

" The Emperor of AusTRIA was suddenlv attacked
by pleurisy on the 24th. During the night betwcen
the 24th and 25th he was bled : he passed a good day
on the 25th. Towards evening his illness increased ;
he was again bled, and he insisted on receiving the
sacrament: The symptoms of the disorder have yielded
to the loss of blood, and the EMPEnOR has passed a
very good day."

It is possible that the EMPEROR'S sudden illness
will have a considerable effect on the dispute between
the Imperial Court and the Government of Switzerland.

The Paris papers of Wednesday, which we have, just
received, represent the new ministerial arrangements as
remaining in the same disorganised state in which they
have continued for the last ten days. The KING
has a difficult game to play ; and despite of his saga-
city and tact in the management of his men (and no
man possesses more tact than himself), it will surprise
us much if he gain any thing by, the changes which
are taking place. It is reported that SormT has re-
fused the Presidency of Council, and for the same
reason which deterred so many others from taking
,
seats in tne Cabinet,--namely, the not being
allowed the privileges of his oace, unfettered
by the presence and the active interference of
the Sovereign. On Tuesday M. DUPIN had the
honour of a private interview with the KING, and sub-
mitted to his Majesty a copy of the conditions upon
which he would become a member of the Cabinet.
The first of these was that a general amnesty should
be granted to all prisoners and others accused of the
political crimes of April. This condition the KING
most willingly granted, with an assurance that his
Majesty entirely concurred in the humane view which
M. DUPIN had taken of this question. The next
condition was, that M. DUPIN should be allowed
to choose his colleagues from among the leaders
of the Tiers Parti ; and this too the KING pro-
fessed the utmost willingness to grant. But there
was another condition, very delicately put—which was
anything rather than agreeable to the. Gracious Mo-
NA !ICH. It was, in short, nothing less than that
Ministers should be Ministers in fact as well as in
name ; and that their consultations might take place

witlinut his MAJEs r qeing put to the trouble to at-
tend their,, much less to • direct both the subject and
the tone of their deliberations.. This was precisely
what the KING felt least disposed.to grant, and having
signified so much tb•M. D there was an end to
the conference between them for some days. longer.
The fact is, that the KING is resolved, if possible, to
have no Ministers but those who will permit him to
exercise all the authority of their respective offices;
taking upon themselves the responsibility of his acts.

The arrivals from Berne, and the Swiss Cantons,
which are to the 23d ult., represent the Grand Council
as particularly active in making preparations for the
defence of the Republic against the arms of Austria,
should that Imperial Power decide' upon settling all
differences in the field. The generous enthusiasm dis-
played by the public authorities, has had the happiest
effect on the peasantry. Crowds are everywhere to be
aeen assembling to have their names enrolled among
the defenders of their country, and- in every village
the young men employ all their leisure time in
familiarizing themselves with fire-arms and. other offen-
sive and defensive weapons, and in acquiring military
exercises. The Vorort too has assumed a firmer tone
and a loftier bearing ; so that if matters come to the
worst, the dignity of the Republic shall not appear
tarnished by mean concessions previously made. We
are right glad of this. The only way to grapple with
the tyranny of Austria is to set it at defiance, and ap-
peal forthwith to the liberal governments of Europe.
Neither France nor England would long remain idle
spectators, were Austria to take the field against the
Helvetian Republic.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MARCH
We have had a good demand for Cotton to-day ; the sales
