LETTERS OF A GERMAN COUNTESS ;
WRITTEN DURING HER TRAVELS
IN TURKEY, EGYPT, THE HOLY LAND, SYRIA, NUBIA,
&e., in 1843-4.
By IDA, COUNTESS HAHN-HAHN.
For a testimony to the general merits of this talented writer, the
reader is referred to the " Eclinbv.gh Review" of July, 1844. The
following are a few of the opinions of the Press on this new work :
" A really clever book."—Examiner.
" This work is full of interest."—Weekly Chronicle.
"It is impossible to deny the charm of this work. It is written
with much brilliancy and power."—New Quarterly Review.
"We can recommend this as one of the best books of travels we
have recently met with."—Messenger.
" These letters are made interesting throughout, by the lively and
agreeable style in which every topic is treated."—Athenxum.
These letters are fresher, and more entertaining, than any we
have lately read. The descriptions of Jerusalem, Baalbec, and Da-
mascus, are unusually instructive."--Court Journal.

stitution—the palladium of our liberties ; yet, doubt-
less, they will be compelled to consent to a revision
of these hateful laws—a total abrogation of them we
hardly expect—and vote one way, while their strong
inclination would prompt them to vote another.
These are but a few among the numerous grievances
prepared for the Conservatives, and which they will
hare to submit to in the approaching session ; but as
" measures, not men," is our motto, we shall gladly
and even gratefully accept all the good we can get at
their hands; for why should we quarrel with good,
even though it " come out of Nazareth ?"

matter, we shall wait for certain intelligence before
adverting to it further. But, besides the Otaheite
affair, M. GulzoT boasted that in many other trans-
actions France had got the better of England. He
did not broadly state the fact in the same words, but
there can be no doubt as to his meaning, and as little
doubt that England has come off second best.
" When I hear men say," he added, " that cour-
tesy, regard, good proceedings, mutual advan-
tages, and concession are not reciprocal be-
tween the two countries, after what has
passed during four years, and particularly during the
last six months, I think I am dreaming, for I can
hardly conceive that facts should be so perverted or
badly understood. I could, if I wished, lay before
your eyes the relative situations of France and Eng-
land, and all the facts relating thereto in all the
points of the globe, and you would see that every-
where the advantages and concessions are reciprocal
between the two countries; you would see that
wherever we had any object to carry, our policy, so
far from losing ground, in consequence of our inti•
macy with Great Britain, had rather gained. French
influence in Spain, in Africa, in the East, in
Greece, in Italy, everywhere in short, has increased."
This may be said to conciliate the Chamber, who, by
the bye, will not be conciliated, but at the same time
it is offensive to England, and certainly not at all
calculated to maintain the " entente sordiale." We
have no hesitation in saying that the exhibition in the
Chamber on Saturday was more hostile to Great
Britain than any that has occurred since GUIZOT
came into office.

The Chamber of Deputies resumed the discussion

ment, and a jealousy, without even decent pre
texts for its susceptibility. If better counsels have
prevailed over those which such prepossessions would
have adopted—if the two empires have not been pre-
cipitated into that destructive collision for the event of
which the war party in France continues to clamour
with such reckless insanity—this result has been
owing rather, under PROVIDENCE, to the hig'ier
moral integrity and political sagacity of a few
powerful Ministers, backed by the pacific dispositions
and abundant good sense of the KING, than to the
statesmanlike wisdom, or the uncompromising honesty
of Frenchmen generally, who have been connected
with the discussion and administration of public
affairs. If the impression of our correspondent be
correct, that the scheme of offensive annoyance most
cherished by the anti-English party in France is
founded on the historical precedent supplied by the
destruction of ancient Carthage, as a necessary victim,
first, to the jealousy, and, secondly, to the safety of
Rome, the " party" on the other side of the water
are labouring under that wildest of delusions, which
consists in committing one's self to deductions derived
from false parallels. Great Britain, with her insular but
extensive and influential position, and territorial im-
portance in the geographical relations of Europe, is
little like enough, Heaven knows, to Carthage,
with its geographical relations to the coast and terri-
tory of Africa, and its power of acting upon the king-
doms of Europe. But modern France infinitely less
resembles ancient Rome, we should apprehend, in
any of the-elements of that prestige of unchastised
military usurpation, and that unforfeited " spoil of
empires," which enabled the Supreme Mistress of the
civilised world to decree and to execute the iniquitous
sentence of destruction—absolute political erasure—
against her more cpulent, but weaker rival. This
preposterous comparison of France with old Rome,
and of Great Britain with the Republic of Carthage,
provoked many a smile when hazarded even by NAPO-
LEON, whose historical information and powers of
generalising what facts it had accumulated, were by
no means on a par with the extent of his military
genius, the grandeur of his ambition, or the pro-
foundness of his knowledge of mankind. But, look-
ing to the downfal and hopeless ruin of the vast
fabric he had built up, and in the contemplation of
which he might be well excused for growing giddy,
and being betrayed into occasional extravagances of
boasting—we listen with less decorous merriment
to one of his persiffiages in the mouths of any French-
men in 1845.
" Fas ext et ab hoste doceri" is, however, a sound,
canon of political wisdom. In our application of it
we should not he content with having learned the
fact, assumed by " A London Merchant," of the inces-
sant energy of this jealous hatred of England; but
we should imitate the example of French prompti-
tude and animation, in repairing, extending, and con-
solidating all the arms and forces of our material
strength, whenever external causes indicate the ne-
cessity for such preparation. We have so lately
urged this topic on the attention of the public, and
more particularly of the Executive Government, in
reference to the administration of all naval affairs,
and the incessant supervision of our navy and its esta-
blishments, that we will not now again press it.
Besides, we have good ground for believing that this
precautionary necessity has long been perceived and
acknowledged, and is now acted upon, in the highest
and most influential official quarters.

BRUSSELS, JAN. 23.—The Chamber of Represents
tines continued yesterday the general discussion of the
budget of the department of the Interior. The Minister
of Justice spoke in defence of the policy of the Ministry.
He endeavoured to prove that it had remained faithful
to the ideas of moderation and conciliation which it had
taken for its motto. M. Delfosse, who spoke after M.
Anethan, maintained, on the contrary, that the Ministry
had not kept any of the promises which it made on taking
office. The Deputy for Liege especially insisted that
the Ministry in its very essence—that is, the
members who compose it—cannot inspire the
country with any confidence. This assertion was
combated by'the Ministers of Finance and the Interior.
The general discussion was interrupted by an amen-
dental question.
M. Dumortier observed, that if the vote were delayed
till after the examination of the several chapters it would
not be given. for a fortnight, and he asked if it would not
be possible to follow a more rational course.
M. Osy, taking advantage of this idea, made a formal
motion in the following terms:— " Has the Chamber
confidence in the Ministry ?
The Minister of the Interior combated this new mode of
expressing the blame of the Chambers, and desired time
till to-morrow to reflect on the new form proposed by
the Deputy for Antwerp.
BRUSSELS,‘ JAW. 24.—At the commencement of the
sitting of the Chamber to-day the Minister of the Inte-
rior spoke first on the motion of M. Oak. He took a
rapid view of the preceding Acts of the Chamber, to
prove that the Chamber has in its power all sufficient
means to express its opinion on the Cabinet, without
having recourse to any new method. In consequence
the Member moved the order of the day on the proposal
of M. Osy, and declared that the Cabinet considered this
order of the day as a question of its existence, and that
it would retire immediately if the order of the day were
not adopted. M. Devaux followed the Minister of the
Interior. He endeavoured to prove that the method pro-
posed by M. Osy, to have the opinion of the Chamber
was better than the precedents quoted by M. Northomb,
because it gave more latitude to opinion.
M. Osy, notwithstanding the support he had received
from M. Devaux, declared that he withdrew his original
motion, and would substitute for it a motion fur an ad-
dress to the King, in which the Chamber should declare
that it had no longer any confidence in the Ministry.
It was decided that the vote on this motion should
take place immediately after the general debate on the
budget.
Several ether members spoke' but the attention of the
Chamber was chiefly attracted by a speech of M. Libeau
against the Cabinet, and by a reply of the Minister of the
Interior, which was applauded by the assembly.
A letter from Antwerp of the 24th, says :—" Our
quays in the basin next the railway are so crowded with
goods intended for Germany (the forwarding of which
is delayed by the breach in the tunnel, near Cremptich)
that it will soon be impossible to find room for the least
thing. It is to be hoped that this inconvenience will be
remedied as soon as possible."
The director of the railways and several engineers
went yesterday to inspect the tunnel, and see what
damage had been done. They will meet to-day to con-
sider how to prevent any further falling in of the earth,
Mid adopt means to re-open the communication as soon
as possible. We are harpy to say that none of the work-
men lost their lives.

We have accounts from Madrid to the 20th inst.
On that day the Reform Bill passed the Senate by a
vast majority-74 to 12. The Clergy Endowment
Bill also passed the Deputies, so that the business of
the session is drawing rapidly to a close. Unfavour-
able reports are again prevalent of the state of the
QUEEN'S health ; and it is even stated by the Cas-
tellano, that she has been recommended by her phy-
sicians to try sea-bathing. It is also said, that she
will leave Madrid in the course of a month, for a
watering-place in the south of Spain, and assist on
her way at the ceremonies of the Holy Week, in
Seville. _ _ _

The Three per Cents. closed at 31f for cash, and
31i at 60 days; the Five per Cents. at 23i at 60
days; and the Debt without interest, at 71 at GO
days, with premium.

The discussion which took place in the French
Chamber of Deputies on the indemnity to Mr.
PRITCHARD, and the result, are extremely unsatisfac-
tory. Even according to M. GuizoT's statement,
Mr. PRITCHARD had not been justly dealt with. He
had been accused of serious offences by the French
authorities at Otaheite ; no proofs were furnished
that he had been guilty of these offences, yet he was
on vague charges ignominiously imprisoned, and ex-
pelled from the island. " When he was thus treated,"
said M. GUIZOT, " he demanded that an inquiry be
instituted into the facts with which he was charged ;
he asked to be tried, and repeated that request after
his return to England. He maintained, wrongfully,
I believe, that he was a stranger to the explosion of
the civil war and to the revolt ; he contends that it
would have been impossible to convict him, had he
been tried, for want of proof. Our agents at Otaheite
did not deem it expedient to adopt such a cour,e.
I approve their conduct. I regard th:?ir convic-
tion respecting the intrigues of Mr. PRITCHARD
and the danger of his presence as well
founded ; the trial would have been difficult and
dangerous, and perhaps productive of no result."
This is a strange admission. The Prime Minister of
France believes the charges against the Englishman
to be well founded, yet is opposed to inquiry, to
matters of fact, to a fair trial, because the trial might
have been productive of no result. If we are to, be-
lieve M. BRUAT, his crimes were as clear as the noon-
day sun ; he had been manifestly guilty of insti-
gating the natives to murder Frenchmen and en-
danger the whole of the forces in the island ; he must
therefore be punished as a spy, and an agent of re-
bellion. It really appears that M. GUIZOT had no
proofs of his guilt, else why fear that a trial would
be difficult and dangerous, and, perhaps, productive
of no results. Here is a man punished without trial,
yet the paltry indemnity of 1,0001. is grudged by
the French Chamber, or perhaps refused, for no vote
on the question has been taken, nor can we yet tell
what will be the result of a division. From all accounts
the majority of the Chamber was for the amendment—
hat is, against the indemnity. The question would be
formally brought before the Chamber on Monday, when
a ballot would be taken, and then the English public
would know whether the main condition on which
Sir ROBERT PEEL and the Earl of ABERDEEN ac-
ceded to the terms of M. GUIZOT was disowned by
the French Chamber. As this is

The accounts received this morning from Lisbon are
certainly considered to be of a satisfactory character.
The Minister of Finance had laid before the Chamber
of Deputies his budget for the year ending June, 1846,
I and it appears that if the estimates of income and ex-
penditure be well founded, that there will be a surplus in
favour of the State of very nearly 40,000 milreis. This
unquestionably is the first time, for years past, that such
x favourable erpose of the resources of Portugal has
shown such a favourable indication. There appears to
be a general desire, on the part of the Portuguese, to
aid the Government, as far as possible, in improving
the resources of the country, and tranquillity having
existed for some time past, the good fruits of such a
state of things is in progress of almost daily deve-
lopment. The Ministry appears to have exer-
cised a sound discretion in the expenditure of
the Board of Public Credit. But tho secret has
at length been let out, that the interest upon
the Home Debt is considerably larger than upon the
Foreign Debt. The figures stand thus for the former-
-1,476,695 ; and for the latter-1,392,246 milreis It
would be much to the advantage of the credit of Portugal
were something like a definite account rendered of the
real amount of the Home Debt, as, by such means,
more confidence might be placed in the Government.
As far as respects the Foreign Loans, the amounts
raised are known with accuracy.
We have further accounts from the United States ;
but although there had been further meetings of the
different States' Legislatures, we do not find that, with the
exception of Pennsylvania, there will be any amount set
apart for the payment of arrears of dividends upon
the loans contracted in this country or elsewhere.
Still, if the private advices are to be credited, there
is a slight disposition shown to advance a step in
the right direction, and although in most instances direct
taxation on land, &c., has been most emphatically
eschewed, there are symptoms that in order that the
stigma of repudiation should be removed, a revenue from
such sources as have just been mentioned will be sub-
mitted to.
The accounts from the Cape of Good Hope and from
Graham's Town are late in point of date. It is very
satisfactory to find that the frontier was in a quiet
, state, the laffres having refrained from depredations
—thanks, however, to the measures taken by the Go-
vernor in strengthening the military post: on the line of
demarcation. The natives are represented as being
more industrious, and desirous of cementing a lasting
friendship with the colonists. The cultivation of the
lands of the colony was rapidly on the increase, and the
breeding of sheep also.
In the Public Securities there has not been any very
large operations reported this morning; As the settle-
ments in the Foreign Stocks and in Shares are near at
hand, there is a trifling increase in the demand for capi-
tal. The Three per Cent. Consols have been sold at a
traction under par. and Consols for the Account at
1004 and at 100. Bank Stock keeps on the advance,
