would say that the thought which he had brought
back with him was that Ireland at this moment
represented great nationality raising itself from
state OF depression into which it had been sunk for
many years Ireland, in fact had started on a mag
nihcent career OF development, which promised
more than any one would venture to presage-
lCheers.) The people he saw them were low

cl0thed, while no feeling akin to AFFECTION, the re

called the sad monotony of food to the cultivation of

had seen fields of various kinds of agricultural pro-
duce far more efectually titled and in more prom

he went or since he had returned, though it might
be without that finish which it obtained in this
country Let any one Che continued) go to Ireland
now who had been there before, and notice the
cattle, and he would find that it was not only
greatly improved, but the whole system on which
better.
FnANcE.-Itis is authoritatively stated that Napo-
leon ILL., is taking steps to carry into execution
favorite plan of Napoleon L. for laying up stores of
corn, after the manner of the Pharaohs, in every
large town, during plentiful years. in order to pro-
vide against years of scarcity. The protectionsts
like this plan, which they think will secure them
altogether against foreign importations
Inc prosecution of Montalembert was resolved on
at special meeting Of the Privy Council presided
over over 6y the Emperor in person. 1t is understood
present month. 1t is said that the iustrous ora
tor will defend himself and that he will appear at
the bar surrounded by the first men in France If
CONVECTION should be obtained, NJ. de Montalem-
pert VIII be entirely at the mercy of the Govern
ment, SO long as it lasts. The victim of press
conviction falls within what are called "specific
categories under the law of general surety" that
is to say, he may be either expelled from France or
transported to Algeria at any time after the expira
tion OF his sentence, and without further trial.

Farls on the lst, were so general as to amount to
political demonstration
Poor Lamartine quits his patrimonial estate next
week, and the property which he trusted in vain
TO public liberality to enable him to save, will be
sold under judges order. 1t is understood that
after taking farewell of his Paris friends, the
ruined poet and politician, who bitterly feels the
cold comfort to which he has been treated by his
countrymen, will cross the Channel, and reside
henceforth in England.
SPATN.-A Madrid sem-official journal states
that the Government has resolved to send 1000
ADDITIONAL men, under three generals, twenty
Cuba. ''' u '' '''''i ~
AUsTn1A-The cabinet of Vienna has refused
to authorize the Lombards who fought in the ar
mics of the first Napoleon to wear the st. Helena
medal.
The last return of the army shows that Austria
can bring into the field about APT 900 men,
PRUssIA.-lt really does seem as if the change of
Government in Prussia is likely to be productive of
1arer and freer trial of the constitutional system
IN that country. With reference to the coming
elections, V on Fottwell, the interim Minister of
the Interior, has intimated to the whole of the
iunctlonares in the department, that they had
better abstain altogether from presenting them
selves as candidates, and leave the field open
to private persons. Now, as these functionaries
were the principal parties who tampered with
the elections the Prussian people will have a
chance OF getting a fair representation in the
Landtag.
The Daily Neros remarks that the Prince Regent
OF Prussia would manifestly have found it impossi-
BILE to carry out more liberal and progressive pol
icy with the Manteuffel administration still in office
Their dismissal was inevitable.
The appointment of General Bonin to the Min
lstry OF War is an evidence of the anti Russian feel
ing of the Regent. At the time of the Crimean
war the General was one of the supporters of an al
lance with England and France against Russia and
he fell into disgrace in consequence.
lrALY-From a return about to be published by
the Minister of the Interior at Rome it appears that
the number of political offenders pardoned or re
called from exile since 1850 is 1858 and that the
number now in custody is 258. OF these, however,
all except ~ have been condemned for civil crimes
or Offences as well as political ones.
The Piccolo COrriere d'Lalia of Turin publishes
an order OF the day issued by Col Messori, COM
mandant OF the reserve reg iment of Modena from
hhlcu IL appears lnat q certain number OF soldiers
have been expelled that corps suspicion of being
affiliated to secret society called the Italian Ma
tinnal Snriaty" The same paper states that the
Duke of Modena is actively engaged In re-organ-
izing secret society called 'San Fedsmo," which
was very powerful in $780, and the object of which
IS the reestabshment of the Pope's authority as it
was in the middle ages
RUssA.-ln ORDER if possible, to put stop to the
corruption which prevails amongst the officials of
Russla the Emperor Alexander has resolved to in
increase their salaries, the inadequacy of which has
often been assigned as the chief cause of the cor
rupton. The salaries of all those who are employed
in the departments of justice and of finance have al
ready been doubled. The Emperor is also deter
mined, when the present contracts expire, to abolish
the perncious mode which has been followed in the
farming out of the spirit duties
a st Petersburg letter states that the Russian
general, Baron Wrewski, was killed, on September
the 18th, in charge made by the Circassans, at
Aoul- -Kitowi in the Lesghian country. The Circas-
slams, under command of Schamyl, still hold their
heads high, and show great strategetical skill as
well as courage. Schamyl commands in person at
Tchetchna, Lesghia, and 'Daghestan.
SYRIA.-The last Egyptian mail brought very
dlsquletng intelligence from Syria. Great fermen-
tation exists there well as in most parts of the
Ottoman empire, and the Christian population are
placed in the greatest jeopardy. A rowing band of
Arabs recently surprised the town of GAIA, butch
cred some of its inhabitants and then fell upon 4
neighboring village, where they indiscriminately
slaughtered all the men and children. In the Leb-
anon the Christians are left without even a nominal
government or protecting power. Their Caimacan,
feeling himself poweress, has fed, and taken refuge
at Beyrout; consequently the greatest anarchy pre-
walls IN that district and nothing less than a total
determination of the Christians is expected Da-
mascus is also represented as scene of tumult and
terror, the Christians being in perpetual fear of
punder and massacre, as Ali Pacha appears to be
without power to overawe or control the fanatical
portion of the inhabitants.
