course. On the one hand Ministerialists may con-
tend, not without reason, that it is Reform which
the house dislikes, not the Government, and that if
it were put to the vote whether the present Cabinet
should retain their seats without Reform or another
Ministry assuming office with Reform, they would
gain an overwhelming majority ! They may
argue, too, that the fact of the adverse
division having occurred on a subsidiary question
after the Government had carried what they de-
clared to be the vital points, their majorities on
the second reading, on Mr. WALroLE's amendment,
and Mr. HuNT's amendment, though small, were
sufficient to save their dignity ; while Capt. HAI--
TEE'S still more adverse motion was negatived with-
out a division ; and on Lord STANLEY'S sudden
assault they gained a decided victory. They may,
therefore, if they choose, under the excuse of the
unwillingness of the House, the indifference of the
public, the troubled state of Europe, and the haste
with which part at least of their bill was prepared,
r withdraw the measure altogether with the promise
of introducing another and a more comprehensive
one early next session. On the other side it will be
said that the Government, having failed in this
cardinal point of their policy, must abandon the at-
tempt to legislate for the country. When a newly-
elected house declares so unmistakably against
them they cannot retain office with credit to them-
selves or with satisfaction to the country. True
they have the resource of a dissolution of Parlia-
ment, to which they can resort if they please ;
but so soon after a general election, which they
declared to be highly favourable to themselves, it
is scarcely probable. Whether the result- would
be favourable to them if they went to the country
on this bill may very fairly be doubted. There
would be cheers at the hustings, and cries for this
and that reduction of the franchise, but the evil of
an unreformed Parliament is one which helps to
perpetuate itself, and the middle classes, whose poli-
tical rights were so hardly won in 1832, are now
unwilling to share their power and influence with
others. The enfranchised classes have the votes,
the unenfranchised may agitate, but until the agita-
tion is strong and general it will not influence the
return of members. The present House was returned
with a flourish of trumpets for a great Reform
campaign, whereas its members have gone over to
the enemy, have fought inch by inch and step by
step, by ambush and by countermine, to oppose and
thwart the progress of Reform. This they have
done, not as they might reasonably have done on
the ground that the Government measure was
poor, insufficient, and unsatisfactory, but on the
plea that a £7 and £l4 franchise was too low,
and they have tried on every pretext to place the
limit higher. They may esteem themselves fortu-
nate if the next Reform Bill stops at £7 ; they will
more likely have to accept £5 as " the plank be-
tween them and ruin."

trian Government are wise they will not lose an
hour in useless discussion which might be turned to
so much greater profit elsewhere. It will add
greatly to the difficulties hereafter if they do not at
this juncture show themselves prepared, for so
desperate arc the Prussians that they will stop short
at nothing which promises to gain their ends.
Such a crafty foe must be met with skill, and, above
all, with speed, for we have of late had sad instances
of the disasters that have ensued through the too
tardy management of military affairs.

Last night the long-expected papers relating to
the Jamaica Commission were laid upon the table
of the House of Commons by Mr. CARDWELL, and
it certainly seems a fitting retribution that soon
afterwards the Ministers should have sustained a
defeat in the most exciting division of the Session.
It must have been apparent to many for some time
past that there was much needless delay in producing
these papers ; and certainly the result of the inquiry
does not at all indemnify Earl RUSSELL for the
course he pursued towards Mr. EYRE, in deference
to the requests made by the deputations and the
indignation expressed at various public meetings.
The result of the inquiry has exonerated Mr. EYRE
from all the chief charges so indiscriminately
brought against him, and the conclusions arrived
at are contradictions in terms to the statements so
pretentiously made by the Exeter-hall clique and
their auxiliaries. The first conclusion is, that the
disturbances in St. Thomas-in-the-East had their
immediate origin in a planned resistance to law-
ful authority. Now this is exactly what has been
all along denied by the party who took up this
affair so strongly at the outset ; they doubted that
there had been a rebellion at all, in defiance of all
that was said to the contrary, and in spite
of the positive proofs of eye-witnesses,
the Commissioners consider that " praise is due to
Governor EYRE for the skill, promptitude, and
vigour which he manifested during the early stages
of the insurrection, to the exercise of which quali-
ties its speedy termination is in a great measure to
be attributed." This expression of opinion must be
a great satisfaction to Mr. EYRE and his friends,
especially after the unwarrantable representations
that have been made by prejudiced persons. It
is also stated that although the original de-
sign of rebellion was confined to a small por-
tion of the parish of St. Thomas-in-the-East,
yet that the disorder spread with singular rapi-
dity, and so great was the state of excitement
prevailing that had more than a " momentary suc-
cess" been obtained, the ultimate overthrow of the
insurgents would have been attended by a still more
fearful loss of life and property. The military and
naval operations are considered to have been prompt
and judicious. Martial law is said to have been
continued too long, and the punishments inflicted
are mentioned as excessive. No doubt some of the
evidence which was produced before the Commis-
sioners recorded instances of cruelty and oppres-
sion ; but we question if, under the peculiar circum-
stances of the case, it was possible for the
authorities to have prevented these sad events
from occurring. It is not usual when a place has
been under martial law to institute ao strict an
inquiry into all the particulars of the transactions,
but if it were many details would present themselves
that would show the feeling of those dwelling among
quiet and orderly civilians. It is stated by the
Commissioners that some of the insurgents were
actuated by feelings of hostility towards political
and personal opponents, " while not, a few contem-
plated the attainment of their ends by the death or
expulsion of the white inhabitants of the island."
Now, is not this exactly the sum and substance
of the reports made by Mr. EYRE respecting the
state of affairs, both before and during the period
of the outbreak? In fact, the more we consider
the conduct of the Government in this affair the
more blameable does it seem. They had no occa-
sion to jump at conclusions; there was no need for
such unseemly haste ; all the inquiries relative to
the conduct of the officials in the island could have
been made in an effective manner without displac-
ing Mr. EYRE. Had this been the case there would
have been no necessity for his retirement,
which is now unavoidable. Had Lord PAL-
MERSTON been in office such a disgrace would
have been spared the Ministry as now appertains to
them of inflicting injuries on a valuable public ser-
vant, whu by his skill and promptitude has pre-
served to the British Crown an important part of
its colonial possessions. If this is to be the reward
of those who under circumstances of peculiar diffi-
culty display courage and exercise forethought, it
bodes ill for our national credit and for the welfare
of our vast colonial territories.
Mr. CARDWELL makes a long tirade upon the
subject generally, and concludes by inti-
mating that in the opinion of her MAJESTY'S
Government they cannot advise the Crown to re-
instate Mr. EYRE, and by placing the new form of
Government in new hands they will be doing their
best to establish, on firm and solid grounds, the
future welfare of Jamaica. This is a conspicuous
instance of the illustration of the proverb, " One
sows that the other may reap ;" for had it not been
'or the exertions of Mr. EYRE, Mr. CARDWELL

The bill itself, as we have said from the first, is a
partial measure, good so far as it goes, but not
going far enough, or dealing with the question in a
manner that is likely to settle it for this generation.
If passed it could only be accepted as an instal-
ment. But from a Liberal Ministry, with a declared
majority, we might reasonably have looked for
a measure which should have enlisted the
hearty sympathies of the public, which should have
enrolled among its supporters every genuine Re-
former, which should have taken the temptation
from the voter, while it enabled the candidate really
to represent the constituency, which should have
added tenfold to the power, the influence, and the
dignity of Parliament, because it would render it
in fact what it is in name, the reflection of the
judgment, the intelligence, and the patriotism of
the British people. Such a bill we have not had,
but if the Government had had sufficient
liberality to frame it, and courage to bring it
forward, they might fearlessly have turned from
Parliament to the people, from the disaffection of
class legislators and partizans, to the approval and
support of the community at large. This alterna-
tive now offers them but few attractions. What,
then, will they do ? The question must virtually
be answered by one man, for on Mr. GLADSTONE'S
decision the whole issue rests. The Whigs, we
know of old, will accept any alternative rather
than abandon office ; but Mr. GLADSTONE be-
longs to a different order, and the doubt
is, how far he may consider himself
pledged by his too hasty declarations at the begin-
ning of the session. If Mr. GLADSTONE feels that
he cannot with undoubted honour and fidelity to his
word retain his office he will resign, and with him
must go the whole RUSSELL Ministry, unless we are
to have a repetition of the old play, " Hamlet,
with the part of Hamlet omitted." His indivi-
dual exclusion from office cannot be long, but the
Whigs collectively have had so long a trial of
office, with so few results, that they can have no
reason to complain if the country refuse again to
trust their patriotic professions.

Nothing of a decisive character has as yet taken
taken place on the Continent. The Prussians still
continue their course, and are hourly expected in
Bohemia. The Austrians are holding back in a sur-
prising manner, and whatever their tactics may be,
they are decidedly mistaken ones. The Prussians
have now occupied Dresden, which is a position of
great importance, and it is stated that they have
cut off the communications of the Hanoverian army,
and rendered its junction with the Austro-Federal
Corps impossible. This is just what might have
been expected from the absurd delays that have
been taking place, and if the Austrians do not
take care they will lose the advantages they might
have gained from their superior numbers and the
greater unanimity that prevails among their people.
It is reported that an engagement has taken place
between the Prussian Hussars and an Austrian
corps at the extremity of Saxony. Hostilities have
also commenced between the Prussians and the
Federal army, in which the former gained the ad-
vantage and secured the railway. In view of all
these active doings, the Austrian Cabinet seems to
be making plans which take some time to
carry out. It has summoned the Bavarian
Government to unite with Austria in car-
rying on military preparations in Saxony, but
how much better it would have been to have done
this earlier. The Italians are stirring in all direc-
tions, and GARIBALDI left Como yesterday, to be
followed by some troops. Perhaps by to-morrow
we may hear of some great contest coming off be-

war. The sooner the rapid advance of the Prussian
troops is checked the better, and if the Aus-

would not be now calmly and confidently planning

what the new Governor is to do in the new order of
things. Although he leaves the scene of his

honourable labours, and is removed from
the exercise of those duties he has dis-
charged so faithfully and so well, Mr. EYRE
is not to be considered an object of pity; the
praise due to fortitude and devotion is pre-eminently
his, and the reproaches and calumnies heaped upon
him recoil upon those who uttered them. In the
opinion of those best qualified to judge of the in-
habitants of the island, he has been the means,
under Providence, of rescuing them from certain
destruction. So long as any of the white population

remain on the island his name will live in their

grateful recollection, and his memory will be handed
down to their children as the preserver and defender
of their lives and properties. Under this aspect of
the affair, Mr. EYRE may bear his reverse of posi-
tion with calmness ; and, indeed, he has done more
during his short stay in Jamaica than many who
have been more than double that period in similar
situations. It may be that the hours of the
RUSSELL-GLADSTONE Ministry are numbered ; but,
however long it remain in office, this mismanage-
ment of the Jamaica affair, this ill-treatment of an
honoured public servant of the Crown, will remain
an indelible stain on its annals, and be pointed at
hereafter as an unworthy exercise of power to suit
the prejudices of a class, and a most unwise act in
weakening the authority of colonial military and
naval officers in time of disturbance.

on looking to the Tellers of the Opposition, it seems
consonant with the fitness of things, to find that while the

the Cave of Adullam, however, but of Mr. Stephen Cave,

CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. LATEST INTELLIG""vtiT,
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.)
PARIS, Monday Evening.
It is still uncertain whether the Chambers will be
able to get through the business before them, or
whether there will be a prolongation of their labours.
The Government is still desirous to pass the law for
the abolition of debt this session ; and a well-in-
formed paper alludes to the possibility of this being
done, but I hear in a Ministerial quarter that the
Government begins to abandon the hope of effecting
this object. There is nothing else of par-
ti'ular importance before the Chamber. The
Emperor has again postponed his journey to
Vichy, and as no day is now fixed for
his departure it perhaps will not take place
until some arrangement be made as to the termina-
tion of the session. Indeed it is now certain that
the Emperor will forego his visits to some of the
provinces in which he proposed to make a short
stay. The war demonstrations have caused similar
changes in regard to the departure of Prince Jerome
Napoleon from Paris. It was, I believe, his inten-
tion to return for a short time to Italy. Subse-
quently it was stated, almost officially, that the
Prince and his family had made arrangements to
stop at their country chateau at Meudon until the
autumn. On the contrary, a Havre paper, re-
ceived to-day in Paris, states that apartments
have been ordered for the Prince at the chief hotel
in that town, and that probably his Imperial High-
ness would shortly embark from that part on
another voyage.
An immense number of applications have been
made to the Minister of the Interior for permission
to erect establishments for amusements or for spec-
tacles in the vicinity of the Great Exhibition. One
speculator asks to be allowed to erect upon the
Seine, extending from the Place de la Concorde to

the Pont des Invalides, a vast temporary establish-
ment for balls, concerts, Olympic games, dramatic
representations, and pantomimes. It is to include a
restaurant, café, and library. This speculator is
said to be backed by an English Company. It is
proposed that the building shall accommodate no
less than 30,000 persons.
The wintry weather yesterday had a sensible

The persons attached to the King's household
have left Florence in order to join his Majesty at
the camp.

second horse.
A frightful crime committed at midday, in the
commune of Montey, in the department of the
North, has excited general indignation in that part
of the country. A girl, not 15 years old, while
working in the fields, was subjected to atrocious
violence by a man named Fosse, and on her calling
out for assistance he murdered her by stabbing her
with a knife. He has been arrested. The assassin
is a man of bad antecedents, and has already been
in prison for robbery.
The Academy of Moral and Political Science, in
its sitting of Saturday, met to decide upon the
competition for the prize for the best essay upon
the management of the Finances. It did not award
any prize, but under the title of encouragement it
granted a medal worth I,ooof to the Memoir No. 2,
with this epigraph: "—" In the present constitution
of society, it is with the administration of the
finances that all parts of the Government should be
connected and made subservient." The Academy
also awarded a prize of 500 f. to the Memoir No.
1, with this motto—" My liberty and my greatness,
said a king of France, consists in my being so
bound that I cannot do any evil."
The trial for the frightful murders on board the
Fcederts Arca will commence at Brest to-morrow.
The prisoners are eight in number.
M. Mery, of the Academie Francaise, a man of
great literary attainments, died yesterday, after
great suffering.
The Bourse is still in an excited state. The
Reute opened at 621. 55c., and closed at 62f. 50c.
The Italian 5 per Cents. declined to 37f. 15c.
The papers from the north of Germany did not
reach Paris to-day. In their absence sinister re-
ports multiply.
According to the Italian paper L' Italie, war was
to commence in Italy on the 21st. Victor Emmanuel
was to leave Florence to-day to join the army.
Prince Charles of Bavaria, who is appointed
Generalissimo of the Federal army, is 71 years old.

The Senate yesterday evening almost unani-

DECLARATION OF WAR BETWEEN
PRUSSIA AND AUSTRIA.

BERLIN, June 19.

Prussia formally declared war against Austria

yesterday.

FRANKFORT- ON-THE- MAINE, June 19.
From 30,000 to 40,000 Federal troops are as-
sembled before this city.

PARIS, June 19.
The Moniteur of this morning confirms the intel-
ligence that Prussia only yesterday declared war
against Austria.

He is the son of the Elector Maximilian of Bavaria,
who, was made King in 1806 by the Emperor
Napoleon. Nevertheless his first campaign was
against France.

VIENNA, June 18.

The Neue Freie Presee of to-day publishes a
rumour that the Emperor will invite the German
Princes who have remained faithful to the Confede-
ration to assemble in Vienna for the purpose of
discussing questions referring to the Federal Con-
stitution.

LEIPSIC, June 18.

The Austrian Consul-General, Herr von Gruner,
has left this city, and the British Consul, Mr. J. A.
Crowe, has undertaken to represent the commercial
interests ofAustria.

REICTIENBERG, June 18.

A slight encounter took place yesterday between
some Austrian and Prussian cavalry on the road to
Rumburg, and close to the frontier. The Prussians

retreated.

Marienthal, Ostritz, and Leuba are occupied by
two Prussian regiments of infantry and one of
hussars, and Bernstadt by two regiments of

cavalry.
The Prussians are also close to the frontier, near

PRUSSIAN PROCLAMATION TO THE
GERMAN PEOPLE.

BERLIN, June 16.

The following proclamation has been issued by
the Prussian Government to the German people :
" After the Germanic Confederation hasdisplayed
and promoted for half a century not the unity but
the disunion of Germany, has thereby long since
lost the confidence of the nation, and been regarded
by foreign nations as a guarantee for the con-
tinuance of German weakness and want of strength,
it was to have been misapplied in the last few days
to calling Germany under arms against a member
of the Confederation, which had taken the first
decisive step for the satisfaction of the national
demands by proposing the convocation of a German
Parliament, all support, all ground, even all
plausible pretext, is wanting in the Federal Consti-
tution for the war aroused by Austria against
Prussia.

" By the resolution of June 14, in which the ma-
jority of the members of the Confederation deter-
mined to arm for war against Prussia, the breach
of the Confederation is completed, and the ancient
Federal relations are torn asunder. Nothing re-
mains but the basis of the Confederation—the
living unity of the German nation; and it is the
duty of the Governments and of the people to give
new expression, instinct with life and power, to
that unity.

" Upon Prussia is incumbent therewith the duty
of defence of her independence, threatened by that
resolution and the armaments of her opponents.
While the Prussian people exerts its entire strength
for the fulfilment of that duty, it at the same time
displays the determination to take up the defence of
the national development of Germany, hitherto for-
cibly obstructed inindividual interests. In this sense,
immediately after the dissolution of theConfederatiou,
Prussia offered the Governments a new union upon
the simple terms of mutual protection and partici-
pation in the national efforts. She required nothing
but security for peace, and for that purpose the im-
mediate convocation of the Parliament.

" Her hopes for the fulfiment of this just and
moderate demand have been deceived. The offer
of Prussia is rejected, and she has thereby been com-
pelled to proceed in accordance with the duty of
sell-preservation. At such a moment sha cannot
suffer enemies or doubtful friends upon and between
her frontiers.

While the Prussian troops cross the frontiers,
they do not come as enemies of the population, whose
independence Prussia respects, and with whose re-
presentatives she hopes to deliberate in the German
National Assembly upon the future fortunes of the
German fatherland.

" May the German people, looking towards this
lofty aim, meet Prussia with confidence, and assist
to promote and secure the peaceful development of
the common country."
The above proclamation is to be distributed by
the Prussian troops in the German territories into
which they will advance.
