FUNDED DEBT OF ENGLAND.
The concluding paragraph of the ene-get-
ic and convincing address of VIM. Co51ett,
10 the fundholders Of England published in
our paper of Wednesday, carries with it a
prophetic foreboding of the ahhroachtng ruin
which awfully threatens that nation. Ii runs
as follows:
"The calamity of which have been speak
ing, / mean your total ruin, is 10 be hrcuent-
sd but it is to be prevented soieitj by heaee
and economy that is, by getting rid of all
the heavy expenses, except that of the natl
onal debt. If all the other expences we're re-
duced to the standard of 1892 if the army.
the navy, the civil list, were brought down to
the state of that year, the interest of the
debt might still be paid, and that too, without
va corn bill. 1t u.s. therefore, for peace and e.
economy that you ought to petition instead of
joining IN the cry Of var, and in the abuse of
those who have endsavored and arc still en-

Ne received yesterday Paris papers Of

note relative To Saxosy. II is Clear that Aus.
trIa hac consented 10 the ceSsIon of all Sax
ony TO the KlRg of Prussia, WHO insists up
Oh that measure being carried int execu-
ton. The one of the powers which ex.
pressed alarm for It's own security, on ac.
count of the incorporation of one of the
first States of Germany, Prince Harden
berg replies very forciOiy and jastly, that
the exis ence OF Germany and the safety OF
its members was menaced in much great
er degree, when the King of Ssxony re
manned obslinalely attached to tue cause oil
the enemy till the last moment.
This note III agrees with he other arti-
cies in fhe papers, would induce us to be-
lieve that Prussia has Consented to receive
part of Saxouy, leaving the King, Dresoen,
Leipsic, and other territories. Some ac-
coonts repI esent, that Saxony had been ef.
fered indemnities OH the left bank OF the
Rhine, bat that this offer had not been re-
iished by the court Of London.
In short, though the Paris papers we re-
ceived On Saturday, hose OF the 18th, had
prepared US to expect that the next &C
count would confirm their assertion, thai
every thing had been arranged, we fnd
doubts again expressed, aud recurrence
