! The French journals continue TO speculate upof
| the object OF the Queens visit to Germany:
"The France, high Legitimist paper, does moi
think that the commercial policy of England Is the
real object of the meeting Of SO many royal and no
BILE personages the banks of the Rhine but IL ID
not on that account the less convinced that the as
semblage has political object, though Of different
kind. Ii sees in this meeting decided proof thai
France is exactly in the same state Of isolation in
respect TO the other European powers, that il was
| fifteen years ago; and il adduces the exclusion OF
France from all part in the rejoicings at Stozenfels
as proof of the perfect union and accord Of the
northern powers on political subjects and ofthe ex-
cuson OF France from the deliberations of the Euro
peaD family"
The accounts from Madrid are to the 18th of Au-
gust;
General Cominero, the captain-general of Malaga,
has been displaced because he did not show himself
sufficiently severe to the persons who took part in
the recent disturbances in that city. General Full
gosio has been appointed in his place. The excite
ment account of the new plan of taxation is every
day getting greater; and petition to the Queen on
the subject has been drawn up and signed by 800
mercantile firms in Madrid, which shows in very
striking the real grievance which it will in
lict on the mercantile interests. The government
seems, however, determined not to yield"
Ronge, the Catholic priest, a native Of Silesia,
who denounced the holy coat, exhibited at Treves
year ago, as the greatest imposition practised
upon the credulty of mankind, producing refor-
nation in Germany, not unlike that occasioned by
Luther. A most terrific excitement prevailed at
Leipsic, Habersiadt and other places at which he
had been preaching. We copy the following letter,
dated Halbersteit, August 10:
"HALBERsrApr, Aug. 10 Wednesday afternoon
the pastor Ronge, who has great many partisans
here, preached his first sermon at Haberstadt, in
the open air, in the court of the cathedral, and in
presence of many thousands of persons Of all ages
and sexes. As soon as he had pronounced the last
words of his discourse-which were to the follow
ing effect: Yes, my friends, Rome must fall, and
will fall'a rustling was heard in that part of the
audience which was nearest to the pulpit; and a
small shopkeeper well known for the fervor of his
religious faith, up Ronge, who was at the mo-
ment descending from the pulpit, and attempted to
throw stone at the reverend gentleman. The per-
sons nearest to this cupable fanatic drew him back
and prevented him from executing his guilty design
but at the same moment young man struck Ronge
violent blow on the back with a thick stick, and
felled him to the ground Ronge Immediately rose
and took to flight; but several other persons mall
treated him, and it was with great difficulty and by
the assistance of some of his friends who escorted
him in the midst of them, that he was able to gain
his hotel. A few minutes afterwards crowd, of
the party OF Ronge, went through the streets, and
broke the windows of oil the houses where they
thought the Roman Catholics resided. The police
endeavored to quel the riot; but their efforts were
useless, and the rioters cried out for vengeance
Troops were then sent for. Detachments of infan-
try and cavalry appeared and after several warnings
and summonses, to which the rioters did not listen,
the troops charged, and blood flowed in abundance
The Germano-C Catholics assembled in crowds in
,barat ohn
ed to throw a stone at Ronge They barricaded
themselves in that narrow street, and completely de-
molished the house of the shopkeeper. They then
separated, and the tranquility of Halbers,adt was
re-established. The number of killed and wound
ed is not yet known. The number Of persons ar
rested is more than one hundred and fly"
"The Post Ampt Gazette, of Frankfort, states,
from Lepsic, the 18th, that the number of persons
killed is nine and the wounded from thirty to for
ty; and adds, that the municipal authorities in order
to prevent new excitement, had refused to allow
the dead to be buried publicly. Leipsic letter of
the 18th, in the Universal German Gazette has the
following:
'sThe number of dead up to this time is fourteen.
Luther's hymn sung by the crowd produced
deep sensation in the whole city, In addition to the
infantry, we have several batalions of cavalry
There is the best feeling here towards the King, but
this is not the regards other members of the
royal family. A meeting has taken place of 700
ed that the murder of the citizens should be avenged
but only by legal means. 1t was resolved to send
deputaiion to the King, with an address ofoyalty
and devotedness. The following is the address Of
the municipal council to his Majesty: Sire, we, in
common with fellow-citizens friends of law and
order, deeply regret the sad events which have oc-
Cured here. We declare respectfully, from sense
of duty towards your Majesty, our feow-citizens,
and ourselves, that the more grieyed the
Communal guard was not employed to re.estab.
lish order, as it would have prevented the calamity
which has fallen upon us. We supplicate your
Majesty to order rigid inquiry to the conduct
of all who took part in these events, on whatever
side they may be- In this period of agitation, our
hope is in The wisdom and justice of your Majesty,
and in your unfang solicitude for the welfare of
the country Your Majesty will deign to receive
the expression Of the devotedness of our city, and
Of our mistaken fidelity"
We shall CLEAN the English papers over, for such
speculations as they may contain about American
affairs. We con6ne ourselves, for this evening, to
the following article from the "London POST OF
August 81 Whilst it deeply regrets that Great
Britain has been unable to defeat the annexation of
Texas, it is compelled to confess that it furnishes
"no reasonable ground of quarrel between England
and America" 1t bushes for the discounted d.
plomacy of its government;--and surely never
more ridiculous object attcmpted-never was there
a more complete failure-never were her diplo-
matiss go shamefully foiled. The "London Post"
however, contents itself with philosophizng their
Notifications. "What cannot be cured, must be en-
dured." Or it might more properly have moralized
with Sir Joseph Banks, when he boiled the 0eas--
"Fleas are not Holsters, d their souls!''
The Texians can never be English. And the
"Post, at last wisely comes to the conclusion, that
to "protect a revolted province of Mexico against
ITSELF" is very foolish notion, and furnishes no
adequate cause Of complaint on the part Of Great
Britain, or of war against the United States. The
great misfortune is that the British ministers could
not have made the discovery without drawing upon
their philosophy
