which they so nobly wrested from the grasp of a

tyrant.
The Municipal Council of Thorigny nobly distin-
guished itself on this important occasion. Upon
learning the way in which the Minister of the Interior
had presumed to censure the conduct of the Mayor, it
ordered the following Address to the Prefect of the De-
partment to be prepared, to which every Member of
the Council affixed his signature. If it be borne
in mind that such a mode of remonstrance is quite un-
usual in France, our leaders will not fail to per-
ceive that the country is on the eve of p. third revolu-
tion, towards which it is hourly propelled by the mad
ambition of the Government :
" FROM THE MAYOR AND MUNICIPAL COUNCIL OR TIIORIONY

TO THE PREFECT OF THE DEPARTMENT.

~ Oct. 16.

" The undersigned members of the Municipal Council of
Thorigny, think themselves called upon in honour to resign
their offices as members of the said council. This step is
not the result of hurt pride : such petty passions do not influence
them when the interest of the public is in question. It is as
a ',yarning to Government, engaged in an anti-national
system, that we take the step. Many of us, we own, could not
bring ourselves to believe till now that the present Government
could sobelie its popular origin, or so barefacedly re-produce the
doctrines, the men, and the faults of the Restoration. What de-
ception IWe see the King's Ministers to-day stretching the hand
to our most irreconcilable enemies, and blindly persecuting the
constant friends of the King and of existing institutions. The
gloomy jealousy of Ministers dismisses a mayor, an honourable
and respected man, merely for offering a dinner to M. Odd-
lon Barrot, whom the King himself is always ready to receive
and to invite with kindness. Oh lif the King knew this lAs
for us, we should feel ourselves in disgrace in being at all as-
sociated with an act so inquitous; and a policy so disgusting.
May our countrymen open their eyes to the abyss whither
Doctrinian obstinacy is leading. Increasing taxes, the Revo-
lution spat upon, the Restoration praised and imitated, the
jury in disgrace, honour in the background, the enemies of
freedom and the country caressed, its friends and those of the
King disowned and persecuted—such are the grievances which,
separate. by all their turpitude, the Ministry from the nation,
and which provoke us to the resolution which, Monsieur le
Prefet, we beg to communicate to you."
The distinction here made between the KING and
his Ministers is wholly with a view to observe the
forms, without which a prosecution would lie against.
the Members of the Council. But in reality it is as
much directed against the KING personally as against
the Ministerial apostles of the doctrinaire system, who
compose the majority of his Cabinet.
The Journal de Paris, we perceive, again
recommends the suppression of such English
journals in France• as shall dare to censure the
acts of the French Government. This recom,
mendation has been put forth by LOUIS PHIL-
LIPPU, with a view to learn the extent of the
opposition- which he is likely to meet with. Our
opinions on this subject have been already expressed,
.•
an.l we care not to repeat them. Our Sentiments will
be known in France, whether the KING wishes it, or
the contrary. The suppression of the English Liberal
Journals will be another step towards an event which
is destined to relieve the Citizen KING from the clis-
charac of functions, for which all his experience as a
schoolmaster has not made him adequate.

there, with scarcely one exception, they gave it in fa-
vour of the Reform Candidate. Even in those coun-
ties, cities, or boroughs, whtre the Conservative in-
fluence was predominant, the struggle was a desperate
one ; and scarce a hundred Tories would have shown
their faces in Parliament, had not the faction been
supported by the weighty purse of the Carlton Club.
It was the million of money lavished by this Club,
and not their own pledges of liberality, or vows of
amendment for the future, that returned three hundred
Tories to the House of Cemmons. And even with
all this aid, the faction could not command a majority.
The good sense and patriotism of the people triumphed
over every obstacle ; and the Conservatives hav©
nothing now left, but to bang their harps on the
willows, and sing sad songs: when they bethink them
of their lost million.

The most conflicting accounts from Spain will be
found in our extracts from \the French Journals. The
whole story about the determination to march to Ma-
drid is an arrant falsehood from beginning to end.
Our sob object in inserting it is to give. our readers
some idea of the mendacity of the Paris Journalists,
who have lent themselves to support the secret designs
of the French Government. But it is too late to at-
tempt bolstering up the cause of the Usurper of Regal
dominion in Navarre. He is already vanquished by
the universal voice of the Spanish people.
PARIS, OCT. 21.—A letter from the frontier says :
" As I announced to you, a meeting of the principal leaders
of ae Carlist army, at which Don Carlos presided, took -
place on the 14th instant, at Estella. The question was
discussed whether it would be better to continue the war in
the four provinces, or to march to Madrid. The Prince,
and most of the Generals, declared for the first (qy. second)
opinion, which was warmly opposed by Ituralde.
This probably gave rise to the report, that this General,
who may be considered the ablest of the party since the
death of Zumalacarrcgui, had fallen entirely into disgrace,
and had been discharged. But it -seems that while the
army advances, Ituralde will be left to keep the four pro-
vinces in submission.
AU the preparations are ready ; the vanguard of the
the Prince has received orders to advance to Logrono.
Every thing indicates that we are on the eve of decisive
events. The moment is come when the Queen's Govern-
ment 'Mist act. It is time to oppose to Don Carlos some-
thing besides ministers changed every day, declarations and
decrees. The Prince advances at the head of 25,000 men
emboldened by successes, of 3,000 horsemen and a con-
siderable train of artillery, Cordova has not above 16,000
men to combat him. We shall see whether he will continue
to oppose the march of Don Carlos, or whether he will
content himself with harrassing the rear of the Navarrese
army, to cut off its retreat in the sequel, in case of a re-
' verse."—Menzorial des Pyrenees.
It is the intention of the Queen's Generals to resume
offensive operations, certain of being supported by the rein-
forcements which arc coming from all the provinces. Already
on the 9th, the national troops made a movement in
advance against Don Carlos. Their advanced posts have
occupied Maruta. This march has obliged Don Carlos not
only to evacuate Estella, but also to fall back on Maneru,
with his army. Cordova follows him closely. This Gene-
ral, at the head of 14,000 infantry and cavalry, occupies
the whole line of the Arga.
It is certain that the:command of the Carlist army has been
given to Egina ; Ituralde, to whom it was promised, being
offended at this, has retired from the service. This falling
off of a General, will bp a bad example.
In the lower ranks there is a considerable .desertion,
arising it is said from want of money. But for the mo-
mentary successes in Arragon and Catalonia, the bands
would be already in part dissolved. The energy of the
Juntas alarmed the Pretender, who will at length have to
contend with the national spirit, represented by the armed
corps of militia.—lndicateur.
Letters from Bilboa of the 10th, say that General Evans
was to be invested with the command of the provinces of
Alava, Biscay, and Guipuscoa.—(Sentinelk) Messager,

Sir WILLIAM FOLLETT has been making a long
speech to his constituents at Exeter, in order, we sup-
pose, to neutralize the effect of that made by Sir Jo lIN
CAMPBELL to his constituents at Edinburgh. The
experiment was a hardy one, and would have been
successful, had the Honourable and Learned Gentle-
man's capacity borne any proportion to his ambition ;
but the one being just in an inverse ratio to the other,
the consequence was an utter failure. The Conserva-
tives, however, will, of course, think otherwise. With
them Sir WILLIAM FOLLETT'S brass will pass for
gold—his sophistry for argument—his rant for elo-
quence—his calumnies for gospel truths. He can say
nothing to them, but what is " wisest, virtuousest,
discreetest, best"—so full of faith is your true Conser-
vative in the wisdom, virtue, discretion, and sincerity
of all who hold the same political tenets as himself.
What but some such infatuated spirit of partizanship,
could have induced his hearers to believe as a scrip-
tural truth, the Learned Ex-Solicitor-General's asser-
tion, that the " last elections had shown that the people
of England were in favour of a Tory Government ?"
Why, the fact is notoriously the reverse I Wherever
the people had power to give an independent vote,

Sir WILLIAM FOLLETT went on to observe, in
allusion to the late Parliamentary discussions on the
subject of the Irish Church, that " no English state-
man ought ever to consent to give to the Roman Ca-
tholics the property 'Which i 3 held by the Protestant
Church in Ireland, forming, as the Protestants do, the
great bulk of the wealth, intelligence, and respectabi-
lity of that country." The last part of this sentence
contains one of those malignant sneers with which the
Tories are so fond of wounding the feelings of the
Catholics. " Wealth"—" intelligence"—" respecta-
bility"—forsooth I Well, granted that the Protes-
tants are in these respects superior to the Papists ;
why are they so ? Because for centuries past they
have had the whole and sole control of the resources
of Ireland, and have employed those resources to per-
secute, and keep down the talents and energies of the
opposite party I Had equal justice been dealt out
to Protestant and Catholic., we should have seen
no such superiority as S:r WILLIAM FOLLETT
here so arrogantly assumes ; but when the one has
been constantly basking in the sunshine of Court
favour, with the church—the law—the army—the
navy, and indeed all means of acquiring worldly distinc-
tion at his command—when the Protestant has been
thus favoured from time irmeeemorial ; and the Catholic,
on the other hand, has been treated as if he were an
alien in his own country ; nampled on—spit upon—
' beset with pains and penalties at every stage of his
progress through life; and scarcely allowed even to hold
a rood of land but at the pleasure of his task-master;
—when the Catholic has been thus treated, what won-
der that he is not quite so rich, quite so intelligent, or
quite so respectable, as the petted Protestant ? It is
not to be expected that the slave can be equal,
in such worldly recommendations, to his tyrant ;
but is it for the latter to taunt the former with
the deficiencies which he has himself occasioned ?
Is it for the Russian Nobleman to deny the Rus-
sian Serf the means of becoming wealthy and in-
telligent, and then object to him that he is poor
and ignorant ? Let Government—as it now seems
inclined to do—behave with equal justice to Pro-
te!,;tant and Catholic, and we -shall no longer be
able to see whetein lies the vast superiority of the one
over the other.

Sir WILLIAM winds up his remarks on this
subject by stating, that his party felt " that for
the sake of the tranquillity of Ireland', it was neces-
sary to throw u;') the reins oe: Government." This is
the only wise thing Sir RW,)ERT PEEL did during the
whole time of his continuance in office. " Nothing in
his " Ministerial " life beceme him, like the leaving
it." So long as he stood at the helm, Ireland was in
one constant state of agitation—but the instant he
made his bow and retired, the results he had antici-
pated, came to pass ; the troubled waters subsided ;
the storm rolled away in distance ; and the sister-
country is now—as O'CONNELL expressly tells us at
the dinner lately given to him at Limerick—enjoying
a tranquillity which it has et-it known for centuries.
In his observations on the present state of the public
mind in England, the Leari;ed Kr-Solicitor-General
—and we fear he is destined to belong to the distin-
guished family of the Ex's for many long years to
come yet—is, as might be expected, directly at vari-
ance with the Edinburgh Reriezv. He tells us that
" no man can look around him, and not behold the
return, which we are every day witnessing, to the ancient
principles of loyalty to the KING, and attachment to
the Constitution, among the people." Now what says
the Edinburgh Review in it; Number just published,
on this subject ? " The progress which Republican
principles have made in Enghind during the last twelve
months; has been remarked by all accurate observers of
the signs of the times ; and not a foreigner who hears
our conversations now, and had left us for a year or
two, is insensible of the cleenge." The Reviewer is
here far more correct in his statement than Sir WIL-
LIA M FOLLETT ; for it is :.)t to be denied—though
it may be lamented—that the recent proceedings of the
House of Lords, coupled y-i'.ll the infatuated conduct
of the Conservatives, who seem resolved, at all hazards,
to resume the managerner:t of affairs, have so far
changed the character of the public mind, that we
verily believe it would agree to any innovation, that
should have the effect of curbing the irresponsible
.
authority of the Lords, and keeping the Tories from
the Treasury Bench.
Before we conclude, we treest not omit to notice the
speech of the Rev. Precentor LOWE, who essayed the
facetious in a very serious style. " The Irish Church,"
observed this clerical wag, " was very near last Session
being given as a sop to the Irish Papists. He re-
membered, when a school-boy, having:read,lhe believed
it was in Virgil, that the way to go easily to Hell, was
to administer a sop to Cerberus." Not so, good
Mr. Precentor ! The way to "go easily "to
that mysterious region, where so many parsons
have already gone, and cohere so many are yet
to go, is to call out the military ; to bid them prime
and load ; and then give them the order to fire
on some hundred inoffensive Irish peasants—rating the
tithe-pig as superior in valee to a dozen human lives
—just as Parson RYDER did the other day at Rath-
cormac. This is the true cop to give to Cerberus ;
and right liberal have the Irish Orange parsons been in
this tort of donation, which we have no doubt will in
due time procure them a distinguished position in that
place which well-bred priests " never mention to cars
polite."

We direct attention to the able speech made by Mr
O'CONNELL to his friends at Limerick : wherein it

will be observed that he formally announces his inten-
tion of throwing overboard the Repeal question, pro-
vided Ministers—on whose good intentions he places
implicit reliance—will consent to do justice to Ireland.
