THE MO©•RS 4ND FOREST&

THE SOUTHERN MOORS.—The Border Advertiser
says :—" The prospects for the 12th are hitherto
very encouraging in this district. Grouse are
abundant and strong on the wing, no disease or
death having occurred during the breeding season.
Within the last days the keeper on the Gala estate
tells us that he has picked up several old dead birds
from the fatal tape-worm. These, however, are
only exceptional cases. Partridges are a plentiful
crop, and already coveys of sixteen or eighteen are
to be seen packed on the neighbouring bill sides..
On the Ettrick and Yarrow fells the game is most
plentiful, and seldom have the prospects of sports-
men been more auspicious than they are at pre-
sent.*

AYRSHIRE AND WIGTOWNSHIRE.—The Advertiser
says :—" We have made inquiries of keepers over
grounds of considerable extent, in different lout-

lities in Ayrshire and Wigtownshire, and can sup-
plement their reports by personal inspection in the
south of Ayrshire, and are happy to state that the
appearance of grouse has not been better for many
seasons. The broods are numerous and full num-
bered, and the great proportion are steady on the
wing, and will take a quick aim and No. 4 on the
12th. An occasional dead bird has been found ;
but when we hear of grouse having been shot so
recently as in March last, we can well understand a
stray pellet accounting for a bird pining and dying
since. This has also been a good season for black
game. Partridges and pheasants have seldom been
so abundant; and as for hares they vary according
to poaching or preserving. On the whole there
has not been so good a prospect for the sportsmen.
for many years."
INVERNESS.—The Inverness Courier says :
"Five weeks from this date a large majority of
sportsmen will be located in their shooting-boxes on
moor and mountain, ready for the 12th of August,
on the issue of which, and where the best bags of
grouse are to be made, there is as much excitement
among one class as the fate of a Derby or St. Leger
causes among horse racers. From every quarter
round Inverness, and all over the north, we continue
to receive the most favourable accounts of the pro-
gress of the young broods of grouse. In numbers
they are much above the average of seasons, and the
weather—alternately showers and sunshine—has
been so favourable that the growth of the young
broods has been very rapid. By the 12th of August
cheepers will be rare ayes, and the general remark,
as the birds get up, will be that every covey has
black tails. The prospects of deer-stalkers are no,
less encouraging. Abundance of grass in all the
glens and corries a month earlier than usual has
brought the stags into such good condition that
their antlers are now full grown, and royal heads
will be more numerous in the forests than usual.
We hear from a forester, who has a large range
under his care, that so forward are the stags' heads,
that by the time the stalking begins he expects
to see some of the heads clear of the velvet. '

THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON'S RESI-

DENCE A 7 VICIIY.

This residence, which, as is known, has been
taken for the Emperor's use, is situated in the Rue
du Pare, close to the bank of the Allier. It is so
situated that it can easily be secured from an
importunate influx of the curious, being protected
on the side of the park by a terrace six feet
in height, and on the other sides by a wall. The
villa is an excellent building, in the style of Louis
XII. It is reached on the side of the garden by
a double flight of stone steps ornamented with
four statues of children personifying the four
seasons. The ground floor is raised on a subsoil,
formed of rustic porphyry, fixed with Roman
cement. The vestibule is ornamented with two
consoles, supported by lions' heads of natural sire,
in carved wood, and a handsome clock in gilt
bronze of the style of Louis XVI. The large salon
opens at the end of the vestibule. The N.rniturc,
which is in carved wood, covered with green silk
damask, is of the :purest Louis IVI. style. The
chimney ornaments are exceedingly rich, two
statues of children in bronco, of natural size, sup-
ported by columns in wood, each bearing a candela-
brum in gilt bronze with 14 lights. In the centre of
the salon is a gueridon in mahogany, six feet in dia-
meter, covered with a slab of white marble which
was formerly at Malmaison, and belonged to Queen
Hortense. There are also two magnificent
of
pic-
tures belonging to the crown,
Madame Lebrun, and the other signed ‘'
n Kauffmann pinxit, Roma 3, 1786." Some
bold their
pictures
be-
longing to Strauss are good enough to Aonegelica

THE SUN.
LONDON, MONDAY, JULY 8, 1861.

Apropos of the Appropriation of Seats (Sudbury
and St. Alban's) Bill—coming on again for the
consideration of the House of Commons this even-
ing—there are the Parliamentary changes conse-
quent upon its passing. There is the new member
set apart for the Liberal, Free-trading constituency
of South Lancashire. And that, it is very well
known, means the Right Hon. W. E. GLADSTONE,
her MAJESTY'S Chancellor of the Exchequer.
Whatever may be the ultimate decision arrived at
by the House in regard to the other portions of
Sir GEORGE LEWIS'S measure, it is pretty safe, we
take it, that South Lancashire is to obtain this
supplementary representative. And equally within
calculation is it that Mr. GLADSTONE, and no other
than Mr. GLADSTONE, will be that new
representative. Hence, these probabilities being
so very plainly before both parties in
the House of Commons, it becomes the
most natural thing in the world that an eye
askance should be cast, by Liberals and by Conserva-
tives alike, to that prospective vacant seat at the
University of Oxford—the scat there in all human
likelihood about to bo left vacant by the removal
of Mr. GLADSTONE northwards upon his transfor-
mation into the new M.P. for South Lancashire.
And so the Derbyites, the Derby-Disraeli-ites, talk
of putting forward their future Chancellor of the
Exchequer, as Mr. GLADSTONE'S successor at the
University—to wit their late able Secretary at the
Treasury, Sir STAFFORD NORTHCOTE, now M.P.
for the borough of Stamford, and latterly high in
the favour of the House of Commons as a man
having about him all the "makings" of a skilful
Financier. In opposition to Sir STAFFORD NORTH-
COTE as tha) Opposition candidate at the University
of Oxford contingently upon Mr. GLADSTONE'S
resignation of his post there as the University re-
presentative, the Ministerialists talk, as we were
the very first to intimate (about a fortnight ago!)

that they would talk, of no other than their new
Solicitor-General, Mr., or (shall we call him ?) Sir
ROUNDELL PALMER, as the candidate, down at the
University of Oxford, on the side of her Majesty's
Government. But seriously militating now
against the prospects of the new Solicitor-General
down at Oieord University—there is the borough
of Richmond, in Yorkshire, actually vacated only
the other day, for Mr. ROUNDELL PALMER'S con-
venience, by its worthy fifteen years' member, Mr.
Ricll ! Aware that the interests of the Cabinet,
but still more of the Great Liberal Party, required
that a seat in then House should be found somewhere
for Mr. PALMER, Mr. RICH at once volunteered
magnattimously to carry out an intention he appears
(according to his letter of Farewell to his constitu-
ents) to have long meditated, namely, that of re-
tiring at length altogether from public life by with-
drawing from Parliament. Mr. Rim having thus
resCgned for that express object of enabling Mr.
ROUNDgLL PALMER to return to the House
of Common, as M.P. for Richmond —we
hardly see,in truth how, in honour er in decency,
Mr. PALMER can 210tV cry " off" from this par-
ticular arrangemt. nt ! Simply, tom, that he may
upon second thoughts, or perhaps, we ought :other
t
say, upon third •thoughts carry out the original
design of his party by going over to the University
of Oxford, for the purpose of being elected (s' sera
possible) as Mr.
GLADSTONE'S successor. The
chances now we e;;nnot but feel persuaded are
decidedly against Ml. ROUNDELL PALMER—sup-
posing him to be so .exceedingly ill-advised as to
follow his third thou ghts (with a tolerable cer-
tainty of coming off second-best) by going down to
Oxford University for the purpose of opposing
Sir
STAFFORD NORTIICOTZ.

True they are both of them decidedly P useyite-jah
—the righteolour—the true blue or rather the true
Purple verging to ,vyards the Scarlet—down at Oz.

' ford University ! But, while Sir STAFFORD would
be regarded pretty generally as " a safe man" (not,
of course, in the Frail sense of the words !), theft
might just possibly be felt some few deli-
cate qualms in reference to the convenient
ductility or plasticity of the opinions of the
new Solicitor-General. These considerations,
moreover, are altogether apart from the remem-
brance of the somewhat graceless manner in which
the Solicitor-General could alone claim the suffrages
of the University constituency. This is, of course,
after having cavalierly thrown aside poor Mr. Rica
and his vacated seat down at Richmond.

Altogether, we cannot seriously anticipate
for one instant that Mr. ROUNDELL
PALMER meditates any longer aspiring to
represent the University of Oxford in Parliament
in the event of Mr. GLADSTONE'S resignation. It
is true that " A Conservative Member of Convoca-
tion," writing from Oxford on Saturday to our
chief morning contemporary, says very confidently
—" If Mr. GLADSTONE should retire from the
representation of the University, it is the fixed de-
termination of a large number of Conservative
members of Convocation to use their utmost efforts
for the return of Mr. ROUNDELL PALMER." Ob-
serve—" it is the fixed determination of a large
number of Conservative members of Convocation "
that is promised in favour of the new Solicitor-
General in Lord PALMERSTON'S Whig-Radical-
Tree-trading-Conservative omnium gatherum Go-
vernment 1 Surely there is nothing after
all like a Coalition—huzza for the Coalition !
viva the Olio of Oddities ! long life to the variegated
or party-coloured all-sided Rhomboid administra-
tion, the scope of whose policy is so ample as to
embrace within it an obedient regard (not to speak
it profanely) for the memorable advice to make
friends " out of the mammon of unrighteousness.''
And so the soi-distant Liberal Solicitor-General
is to be enticed, if possible, at the eleventh hour,
into forsaking Mr. RICH and Richmond, by the
prospect of the support to be accorded to him at the
University of Oxford by " a large number
of Conservative members of Convocation."
Whatever may be said in behalf of any
such (under present circumstances) particularly
ill-timed and ill-advised proposition, we cannot now
believe it to be in any way probable that Mr.
ROUNDELL PALMER will thus lay himself open to
the all but dead certainty of an ignominious discom-
fiture. Such would indubitably be the fate reserved
for him, we are perfectly well persuaded, if under
these altered circumstances he should rashly be de-
luded into opposing down at Oxford the formid-
able. and we may add, too, the popular candidate
of the Opposition, Sir STAFFORD NORTHCOTE, the
DERBY-DISRAELI Chancellor of the Exchequer that
is to be.

The American papers which arrived by the
Adriatic are filled rather with speculations on old
facts, and accounting for them, than with new ones.
The State of Harper's Ferry, the plans of General
SCOTT, the position of the forces under General
BUTLER on the Chesapeake, all are subject of dis-
quisition, but there is no important movement.
The Anti-English fever is represented as cooling
down a little. Mr. SEWARD, it is thought, com-
pelled us to bethink ourselves, and Mr. ADAMS
came over and has taught our bewildered states-
men to think aright. The New Fork Herald thus
states the most important questions which will be
discussed at the extra session of Congress,
—" 1. Sanction for the President's movements. 2.
Authorising a loan of two or three hundred million
dollars. 3. An act authorising the vigorous pro-
secution of the war, 4. A modification of the pre-
sent tariff. 5. A bankrupt law. 6. A tax on tea
and coffee. 7. A direct tax in absence of sufficient
revenue from customs." A week or so will change,
however, these speculations for facts; probably
they are guesses of men who are guided by the
gossip of public parties.
Amongst the most important facts is the simple
statement that—." The election returns received
from Kentucky up to the present time show that
nearly all the Union candidates have been elected."
This, combined with the election of Union candi-
dates in Maryland, when once the Federal troops
had liberated the voters from fear of Secessionist
violence, and with a known state of feeling in Mis-
souri and Tennessee similar to that of Kentucky,
must be worth a great deal to the Northern cause
All these important Border States have but a
small slave population ; in the larger part of each
of them hardly a slave is to be seen ; but the Slave
party, like the Aristocratic party, is the better or-
ganised ; its leaders are men of more leisure to
attend to public matters than those who have
their own business to mind, and hence in peaceful
times they have a disproportionate position and in-
fluence. The present quarrel brings out their numeri-
cal inferiority and comparative feebleness 'and the
Union, er Anti-slavery party, assert their real
strength. There seems every probability of the
Border States becoming reunited with the North
by their own act. Kentucky is an influential State;
she at first insisted on neutrality, but if the majo-
rity of her own electors go for the Union, and that
while Federal forces are at hand to back them, the
slave-holding minority must give way.
To this we must add the singular fact of the new,
irregularly chosen Assembly atWheeling,inWestern
Virginia, setting itself up as the State Government
and repudiating the old State Government as null
and void through its treason. Mr. LINCOLN has
acknowledged this irregular Government, an act
which seems as technically inconsistent as any well
can be. The Convention was a purely spontaneous
pelf-originated body. Within the State of Virginia
it seceded from the State Government as informally
as, in the general Union, the Confederated States
seceded from the United States. We may think, and
President LINCOLN may think, that technicalities
s
are to give way. Be it so, but he reasoned in
exactly the reverse way at first. He treated the
no such thing
Secession as a nullity. He knew of
as Secession, because the laws and constitution
knew nothing of it. He strained every nerve at
first to act as if there were no such facts as seizure Of
Custom-houses and ports, and States banded toge-
ther, and even many of his friends thought that his
policy, which seems to have been the one of Mr.
SEWARD, did much to nurse the rebellion itself.
It will not be without advantage to the Union if
Mr. LINCOLN now boldly deals with all things as
they really are, and with or without martial law,
asserts the paramount necessity of shaping his
course by the object he has in view, and not by
legal subtleties.

The Rescript addressed by the Emperor of AUS-
TRIA to the Diet at Pesth is now before us in
full. We may acknowledge that it is not, from
the Imperial point of view, so insulting a dacu•
ment as the telegrams had led us to expect.
If we understand the Rescript rightly, the EM-
PEROR is not unwilling to consider its subject
matter, but he thinks the form too objectionable
to allow of its reception without compromising his
Royal rights. After his objections to the form,
he adds, " We have nevertheless the strong desire
to pronounce without reticence on the questions
of high importance contained in the address of
L the magnates and representatives," and therefore

"invites" them to adopt the form used by the coro-
nation Diet of 1790. This is certainly different
from the statement of the telegram that the ob-
jections extended to the matter as well as to the
form of the Address. Doubtless the Germans
object to that too, strongly enough, their object
being to incorporate the noble kingdom of Hun-
gary with the little Archduchy ; still the Rescript
expressly reserves the " questions of high import-
ance in the Address" for consideration.
As we had anticipated, the Diet has acceded to
this request. When the division was so near that
the objectionable form was carried in the Lower
house by a majority of three only; when there was
no difference of opinion on the matter of the ad-
& ess ; when it was known that the House of Mag-
nates objected also to the form only of the address,
though they did not wish to differ from the Lower
House—while both houses concurred in the state-
ments and arguments so ably drawn by M. DEAK—
it would have exhibited the Diet as factiously per-
tinacious before Europe had they declined to yield.
And, while we think the EMPEROR exceedingly
foolish for making a point of the "form," we think
the small majority would have been more so to
haggle over it. The majority was right; and M.
DE. K'S form, which they rejected, was not so
conformable to strictly legal technicalities as theirs;
M. DEAK did not deny this, but he, the first jurist
in the country, and a thorough patriot, contended
that they were warranted in accepting the de facto
sovereignty of the Emperor, while pointing out so
clearly as they did in the address that he was not
legally King, and consequently all his acts would
be but provisional, till he was crowned with the
legal oaths. M. DEAR'S original form of the
address will now therefore, we presume, be pre-
sented by the Diet, and we shall see what the
hereditary King of Hungary will do towards
becoming a real King. It is now conceded that he
shall be addressed as "the Sacred, Imperial, and
Royal Majesty," &c. ; but the most moderate party
are no more prepared than the ultras to give up the
laws of 1848—laws enacted prior to the revolution
—as their last legal status.

Things do not, however, look very promising for
a pacific solution. If the Germans feel themselves
strong enough
„they will yet force on a bloody
quarrel. They calculate upon distracting the
Italians by fomenting brigandage in Southern
Italy, they concentrate their savage soldiery in
Hungary, they disperse the Hungarian regiments
in parts of the motley Empire where they are lost
to their own country, and thus hope to overpower
a country without the means of resistance. We
only hope they may have calculated vainly. Twelve
millions of brave people, and in a country difficult
for military operations, a people determined to
suffer rather than to yield, may be yet a greater
difficulty than Germans imagine. Italy may be
more ready for action than they expect. KOSSUTH
is certainly at Turin. Hungarian regiments, though
" buried" in larger bodies of troops of other nations,
may yet prove like gunpowder in the midst of them.
We trust events will show that it was madness for
Austria to rely on violence in Hungary. She is now
with a large annual deficiency retaining and even
increasing her three large armies—may she be over-
whelmed by her revolutionary expenditure, and be
obliged to turn back "for want of pence," when
she would not turn back from loyalty and good
faith ! It cannot be too clearly kept in mind, that
the cause of Hungary is the cause of Constitu-
tionalism a thousand years old, the cause of law, of
the obligations of the most solemn compacts, and of
national rights—and that that of the Archduchy, its
Germans and Emperor, is the cause of revolution,
of violence, of perfidy, and of destruction of nations,
in the ambitious interest of a worse than worthless
family. And this language is the language but of
sober truth and fact.

We do not like the look of things in St. Domingo.
We refer now, not to the occupation of that part of
the island by the Spanish, accomplished, as it noto-
riously was, by violence and fraud, but to the last
telegrams. What mean the " attack of St. Do-
mingo by Hayti"—and the advance of Santana and
the Spaniards to the frontier ?" What means great
enthusiasm among the Spanish troops ; not among
the Dominicans, who, if the attack were on them,
might have been expected in some way to show
their feelings ? Did they show any emotion, and
was it such as could not be mentioned ? What
mean the great armaments made in St. Domingo
and the despatch of sixteen vessels with troops from
Cuba ? Is a comparatively immense force necessary,
because the Dominicans are waiting to cast off the
yoke which the treason of their bribed leaders
and the irresistibleness of a Spanish fleet and army
placed upon them ?
Or, is the truth of the case this :—Two patriots
trusted by the native Dominicans, CABRAL and
SANCHEZ, have put themselves at the head of a
patriotic rising of the people. They can hardly
hop© to succeed unaided against the Spanish
regular troops and fleet ; they have sought, there-
fore, help from Hayti, and the " attack" is the
marching of the Haytiens to the aid of the Domini-
cans to assist them in expelling the Spaniards from
the island. With our present imperfect information
this seems to be a not unlikely version of the case.
There is, however, no fathoming the iniquity of
such Courts as those of Spain and Austria. They
have inherited the basest treachery and cruelty as
points of honour, and there is nothing which
they would not justly think it consistent with
family traditions to stoop to, to extirpate heresy or
freedom—freedom of mind, or freedom of person.
It is quite within possibility that movements may
have even been stimulated in Hayti to give the
Spaniards a pretext for conquering the whole
island, before the United States shall be at liberty
to drive them out of it. The readiness with which
ships and soldiers could be sent from Cuba looks
like preparedness for what has occurred; it was
evidently expected, whether the result of dark in-
trigue like that which put St. Domingo into their
hands, or of hasty patriot zeal, the indications of
which had become plainly apparent to them. We
only wish cur Foreign-office had been skilful
enough to resist the annexation. We are quite
sure it will not have skill enough to prevent St.
Domingo becoming a new slave mart.

practical way as that the continental rulers at once found
that they would have no aid from England in any scheme
of aggression whatever—against any neighbour, or
in coercion of their own subjects, native or newly
attached. As the South American provinces were ac-
tually released from Spain, Canning treated them as
free. Everywhere he accepted clear facts, and acted
upon them, instead of wasting time and breaking
hearts over political fictions. It required a progres-
sive statesman to do this. So much for his policy, in
which he might easily be a representative man. In
regard to his oratory, he was altogether exceptional. States-
men constitute a class ; but orators do not, nor ever can •
The power is unique in each case ; and all that wo have to
do hero with Mr. Canning's eloquence is to note that it
was the organ of the diffusion over the world of his progres-
sive statesmanship.—Once a Wick.

BUCHAREST, JULY 5 (Evening).

The Legislative Chamber, in its sitting of to-day,
passed, by 32 against 23 votes, a vote of want of

also because they had not presented the budget to
the Chamber, and had done nothing to accelerate
public business.
