FRANCE.

PARIS, July 28.—Two o'clock.---The notice posted
up by the Commissary of the Bourse announcing
the signature of an armistice for four weeks between
Austria and Prussia, and the acceptation of a similar
pacific arrangement by Bavaria on the part of the
Southern German States, has had no very appre-
ciable effect upon the market. The satisfactory
aspect given to the negotiations of late has, indeed,
caused the intelligence to be discounted in advance,
and it must be remembered Italy's signature is re-
quired before the arrangements can have the desired
effect. Threes, for the account, are quoted at
68f. 85c., and Italian Fives at 52f. 90c., an advance
in each case of 10c. Credit Mobilier are 2f. 50c.
higher, at 655 f., and Credit Foncier 5f., at 1,280.
In railways shares show no change, Austrian and
Lombard alone having an advance of 2f. 50c. each.

THE HYDE-PARK RIOTS.

At the bidding of Mr. Bright, and with the as-
sumed approval of Mr. Gladstone, Mr. Beales, re-
presenting the law, and his lieutenant Mr. Lucraft
the property, and Professor Rogers the intellect of
the country, have let loose all the lawless and mis-
chievous rabble of London to break the public peace,
and to do all the harm they can to Liberal opinions
and even to the cause of Parliamentary Reform
itself. On Mr. Bright, who well knew what lie
was about, and on Mr. Beales, who was per-
haps too stupid to understand the inevitable
consequences of his acts, we unequivocally charge
the responsibility of what has happened, and of
what may happen. We do not suppose that Mr.
Beales has any pleasure in seeing the peace broken ;
we wish that we could say as much for the prudent
person who only finds it convenient to write inflam-
matory and provocative letters from Rochdale. To
do Mr. Beales and his Leaguers justice, they at least
risked broken heads; Mr. Bright prefers the less glo-
rious but safer course of preaching anarchy and riot,
and of exposing, not his life and limbs, but his
character. And it will benoticed that Mr. Gladstone's
habitual fluency has been for once exchanged for a
significant silence, when, in the House of Commons,
the opportunity presented itself to him for disavow-
ing any sympathy with those who marched to riot
and possible bloodshed under a banner emblazoned
with his image and superscription. The offences
against the law which are punished in the person of
the 30 or 40 poor fools or paltry knaves who have
made acquaintance with Mr. Knox and Mr. Mans-
field are as nothing compared with Mr. Bright's
last offence against the public peace and against
society. Smith O'Brien risked his head, and Hunt
and O'Connell and Feargus O'Connor risked their
persons ; but it requires a peaceable Quaker and a
Birmingham-metal demagogue to put to hazard the
safety of other people, the peace of the capital, and
the whole fabric of social order, through the cheap
medium of the penny post.
When we speak of the leaders, we do not refer
merely to Messrs. Beales, Howell, and such men.
Their motives or objects are a matter of utter in-
difference to the public. Sooner or later they will
doubtless share the fate of all those whom the mob
tolerates for a time only to discard when it no
longer cares to use them. They are only partially
responsible for that scandalous anarchy which for
three successive nights has made London the pity
and wonder of civilised Europe. When we think of
those who, in a time of national peace and un-
equalled prosperity, have marred the fairest portion
of our metropolis with the ugly scars of a shameful
strife, the humiliation which the thought inspires
turns to indignant resentment against the man whose
counsels have animated the instruments of havoc
and confusion. Mr. Bright has now placed himself
i❑ a position which those who most dislike him
have long desired to see him take. His feelings to-
wards the Government of his country and its insti-
tutions have long beer, known. That he should profit
by every occasion to turn the hearts of the poor
against the rich, and of the governed against autho-
rity, was only what might be expected. But that
he should twice advise (from a safe distance) a
course of proceeding obviously calculated to bring
about a conflict, and perhaps bloodshed, is what his
worst enemies could hardly have looked for from
a man who might be presumed to set some value
on tho esteem of his countrymen. We have at
times compared Mr. Bright to O'Connell. The
comparison is, however, scarcely just to the memory
