The Canton of Lucerne is in a state of insur. rection ; also those of Fribourg, and the district of Romont, Gruyere, and the valley of Chaverny. It appears that those Cantons wish to obtain the object of their demand from the government. Of course. The governments of Lucerne, Berne, Zurich, and other Cantons, are earnestly engaged in mili- tary preparations, in view of the critical situa- sion of affairs, The majority of the Cantons have agreed to send in front of the federal army commissioners, a Ja Trist, who are to use their utmost efforts to bring about conciliation, and prevent, if possible, a hostile collision. The army will await the result of their peaceful en- deavors, and if unsuccessful, will instantly cross the frontiers. The Semaphore, of Marseilles, of the 6th inst , reports that the French squadron was still before Naples on the 1st of October. It is said in private letters that the reformers of Naples have- divided themselves into three columns. The first division is called the Legion of Death, and forms the advance guard, com- manded by Longobero. The centre is com- manded by Romeo, who has seized upon Margiana, a large depot of arms and muni- tions of war. The rear guard is under the command of Potino. The artillery troops on duty at Margiana joined the rebels after the no- ble exploit of Aspromonte. The insurgents of Perne, in Abruzzes, have abandoned their city, and retired to the mountains, in imitation of those of Reggio. It is said that,Navarre is in rebellion,and a large force was assembled,commanded by Baron Sofia. The official Gazette of Madrid, of the 4th Oc- tober, publishes the royal decrees accepting the resignation of the several members of the Sala- manca cabinet, viz.: Messrs. Soyena, Costazar, Salamanca, Escosura, and Soteto;{that is, all the members of the cabinet, except Messrs. Cordova, minister of Wer, and Olana,of Public Instruction. The same paper announces the nomination of Arrazolato be Minister of Justice. The Portfo- lio of the Marine is said to be offered to General Aspirez. These changes are, it is said, owing to intrigues inthe palace, and proceed from the stcaggle of influences on an arena where all is caprice and mystery. SPECIAL, DESPATCHES TO THE NEW YORK MERALD. France. Panis, Oct. 9, 1847. The very absurd arrangement of the days of sailing of the French steamers, which was hitherto adopted, having been abandoned, we are now enabled to commu- nicate with the Western worldevery week. Whether this convenience will be continued through the winter, is doubtful. While it laste, however, we must enjoy it. Since the date of my last letters, (the 29th ult,) little that is of public importance, especially at 60 great a dis- tance as New York, has taken place he! Oudinot, Duke of Reggio, one of the splendid relics of the imperial glory, departed this life at the Hotel des In- valides,Jof which he was the Governor, and is succeeded by Marshal Moliter. Marshal Soult, who has #0 long been the nominal head of the Guisot cabinet, perform- ing no other duty than that of receiving the salary as President of the Council, the amount of which is equal to that of the President of the United States, has at length resigned both salary and dignity, to M. Guisot, who all along wielded the real power. M. Guizot now combines the offices of President of the Council and Minister of Foreign Affairs, receiving for these joint functions, a salary of $30,000 per annum, besides a palace, with all ite pretty et ccteros of servants, furni- ture, table and #0 on, To console the oot Mar- shal in bis retirement, he is raised to the honorary dig- nity of Marshal General of France, a title equivalent to the obsolete one of Constable of France. The agitation in favor of parliament reform is continued. rm banquets have been held in many of the chief places of the provinces,, at which tions have been urged, popular toasta drunk, and speeches spoken. One of the remarkable ciroumstances attending these demonstra- tions 18, that the health of Louis Pbilippe is never given atthem. There is no doubt that this agitation wil ultimately force upon the government rome measures of retorm of the gigantic system of corruption, by patron- ge, which is a Bg to #0 scandalous an extent. ranoe is, under: present regime, made decidedly to jay the part in European politics of an absolute power. Wie people the most demooratically inclined, this ou will say is passing stranze—yet so it is. Wherever government exercises influence, that influence is invariably directed inst popular rights. In Spi France with all her power and influence, Es dera in fact, the tories or absolutiste of ion socats oe ita, she bas excited universal indig- nation end by ber intrigues to obstruct the pro- reform, to tht the iberal manner, she helps Austria in fomenting dissension be- tween the cantons of the Sunderband, and the liberal central government. In Greece, she has helped the late minister Coletti, to corrupt the electoral body, to ob- struct the progress of freedom, to abuse the financial resources of the country, and torender it a mere depart ment of France. At home, erery;euort at progressive reform is obstinately opposed by the government. Such are the melancholy fruits of the three glorious days.— Such is the “ best of republics;”’ such is the * monarchy surrounded with republican institutions,” Poor Lafsy- ette! his bones would abake in his coffin with indigna- tion could they be conscious of the results to which he rendered himself instruments! when he wes omnipotent at_the Hotel de Ville, on the 29th July, 1830. The Duke d’Aumale, who is appofated Governor Ge- of the Frenob Colony in Africa, has already de- d for Algiers, where his Duchess and obildra® will immediately follow him. Every ene will remember how this young prince came in for the splendid ibheritance of the house of Condé.under the patronags of the notor!- ous Madame de Feuchéres, the mistrers of the last Duke de Bourbon, and what horrible suspicions were connect- ed with the death of that prince. The Duke d’Aumale 4s now one of the wealthiest individuals in Europe. and ‘will, it is said, keep at rs ® royal court, which in splendor will rival those of the oldest menarchies. Y The law which excludes the Bonaparte fam'ly from France las juet been relaxed in favor of Jerome Bona- Parte, the ex-King of Westphalia, and his con, who bears ‘a stron; nal resemblance to the great Napoleon, his uncle, These personages are now in Paris, staying for the present «( (he Hotel du Rhin, in the Place Vendome, Italy. Rome, Oct. 1, 1847. Italy4s, at present, the stage on which the battle of human progress in Europe, as opposed to arbitrary power, is fought. Austria is the incarnation of the lat- ter, aud the head of that form of Christianity which is acknowledged by the large majority of the Christian world, of the former. It is a novel epoch in history, which is marked by the Pope as the leader of the liberal party in European polities, and signalised by Romer hitherto a dependency of Austria, standing forward as its arch opponent. Yet so it is. Piux IX. has not only opposed the arbitrary views of Austria, but has done #0 with success. Austria red to check political pro- gress inltaly ; the Pope has commenced it, and has per- severed in it. Austria declared that she would send her troops into any Italian State which should attempt to organise a national guard; the word was hardly uttered, when the national guard of Rome was called into being; it started into at the word of the holy father, and swore to fulfil his beheste. Austria took military pos- session of Ferrara, @ city on the Lombardo-Venetian frontier, but on the right bank of the Po, and within the papal dominions; the Pope’s legate protested against this aggression. This protest was ratified in the Quirl- nal; but still Avatria held possession of the city. ‘The Pope was tranquil, but determined and firm. He sent an army of observation to Ferli, and proceeded with the enroliment, orgavisation, and arming of the national guard in all bis cities, se well as through the country. His people were fired with enthusiasm. When his preparations were made, and he had given time for the general expression of sympathy from the whole European public, he sent for ths Austrian Ambassador, and with the utmost be- nignity and tranquility requested the immediate evacua- tion of Ferrara by the Imperial troops, and the restora- tion of its posts to his own soldiers and the National Guard. This request being forwarded to Vienna, was refused. His Holiness then, maintaining the same formidable Cea meee ® further communication to Count Lubeau, to effect, that being desirous to use every peaceable means in the first instance to obtain the restoration of his rights, he would issue an encyclical letter, demanding the prayers of the faithful in all the churches of Christendom for the delivery of the Head of Christianity from the upjust usurpation of Austria! and that im case of these prayers not being elicacious, His Holiness would be most reluctantly forced to take the very disagreeable step of issuing a bull of excommunication against the Austrian govern- ment, and against all civil aud military employces who should direotly or indirectly abet it, in this aggression; and finally, if that failed, that His Holiness was ready to summon two millions of Christians to follow the Fatber of the Faithful, and with God's assistance te ex- pet by force those who should be already under the an of heaven andearth! ‘This, which is in subtance what actually took pies. hom A convey some idea of the sort of handy into which the keys of St. Peter have been committed, Austria has of course recoiled before such formidable engines of opposition, not choosing to en- counter at once the thunders of heaven and the powers eerth, and it is now understood, that the differance is virtually settled. The holy father, meanwhile, neglects nothing which oan forward the ‘establishment of liberal principles in other States of the peninsula. Tuscany, as you have doubtless heard, has followed in his steps. ‘There the national guard 1s established on the same principles aa here, and no doubt all the other reforms will follow — M. Cerboli bas been sent by his holiness to the King of Sardinia on s mission connected with the mutual inde- pendence of these States, and there isevery reason to hope that incidental to this negotiation, King Charles Albert may be induced to adopt yystem of reforms in his dominions similar to those in progress in the neighboring States. You will have seen that the people of Lucchs have forced the sovereign of that Duchy to adopt the same reforms as those which the Grand Duke of Tuscany has established. But the most memorable ot these days in Rome, s the arrival of Lord Minto in the capacity of envoy from the British cabinet. You are aware that by the law of England, asit stands at present. » regularly accredit- ed ami cannot be sent to Rome. To evade thi: and yet meet the present exigency, Lord Minto, a mem- ber of the cabinet of St. James, has been selected for this mission. He is not, technically speaking, an ambas- sedor authorised to express the sentiments of the Bri- tish cabinet.. But,he isin some respects, @ higher tunctionary, for be is himself a member of that cabinet, holding the exalted rank and office of Lord Privy Seal It ig understood that so soon as Parliament meets, a bill will be brought in, repealing former acts on this subject, and providing for minister plenipotentiary at Rome. It is searcely necessary to say that the mission of Lord Minto is to second by his countenance and authority, the Pope in his policy of constitutional reform, and to counteract the retrograde influence of the diplomacy of the Tuileries. Navtrs, October 1, 1847, The entire territory of this State isin high insurrection. From the frontiers of the States of the church to the southernmost coast of the island of Sicily, it is the same. The populstion is unanimous, and nothing represses the common expression of its feeling save the want of easy in- tercommunication, the absence of a daily press, and the want of arms. An iron despotism rulesus. A ruthi bigot holds the sceptre. There is no engine of cruelty to the use of which he will not resort. Perhaps, never- theless, a dey of bloody retribution will come, and is not far distant, It is impossible to convey to public like that of the United States, any adequate idea of the bar- barous system pursued here, A few examples, however, may be cited as affording some glimpses of the oppres- sion to which the people of this part of the Itall $ ninsula are called upon tosubmit. ‘The government has to struggle against two classes of enemies, the insurgents and the brigands. The one rise against » barbarous despotism ; the other direct their arms against all pro- perty. The one seok for w constitutional reform, a cor- rection of public abuses and # regular and responsible i, the other, secure in the fastnesses and ra- ines, are the common enemies of all order, Both are strong enough to isting government at defiance. Conflicts with each take place daily with more or less of loss on either side. But what is remarkable,is the different manner in which the two parties are treated. The government does not refuse to treat with the brigands on the usual terms of two hostile powers Prisoners are exchanged, truces made, parleys are held and terms agreed on end mutually o} . With the insurgents nothing of this kind is admitted. The moment the go- Yernment troops capture prisoners, they are shot. As & necessary consequence, the unfortunate sol. diers taken by the insurgents, ‘undergo @ like fate; no parley, no truce, no communications of any kind are allowed. Mutual extermination is th ultimate object of the contest. Recently, it happened that some hun- dred or #0 of soldiers were vaptured by one of the in- surgent bands, men being, of course, lost also on the otherside. After the ey the insurgent chief caused a messago to be carried by 4m inhabitant of the country to the Royalist chief, offering an exchange of prisoners The reply was, that ‘the offer was too late, for, by order of the King, ail the insurgent prisoners taken were shot within an hour. Of course, the insurgent chief was com. Billed v0 order out bis prisoners, the royal soldiers, to shot instanter. incredible efforts are made to intercept all communi- cation, by letter or otherwise, between the provinces and the capital, an well as between the kingdom in ge- neral and the rest of Europe, Letters are opened at ehe post office, and those which convey reports unfavorable Ww the government, are stopped. [f the writers be Naa- politan subjects, they are arrested. If they be foreign- ers, they are ordered to quit the kingdow, unless, in- deed, they have high provection. The only sources of intelligeuce are therefore either letters brought by tra- vellers, travellers themselves, or the persons actually employed on board the versela navigating the coast, To check, as far as possible, this last channel of com- munication, the insane piao has been lately adopted ef manning all the steamers which run between port and port along the const, with agents of the pol Another circumstance may be mentior m has been issued, offering vario money to all persons who will inform sgainst and be tray thelr lows, This proclamation has justly ox- cited’the indignation of all Europe. Recently the King of Naples applied to the Pope, ask- i Holiness to use his spiritual influence to induse ota to return to their allegisace. His Holiness replied that he would do #0, on the condition that His jynoee: j would grant a general ammesty, and pledge himeelf to effect the same reforms which had beeu adopted ia the Oe States. This his Neapolitan Ma- Jeaty politely deo! , and forthwith resumed the same oe a Of extermination which he had previously prac- Spain. Mapnrp, October 4, 1847, Since the date of my last, the soenes of the panto- mime of the palnes and the eabinet have shifted several | ‘mes, and curious and amusing treasformetions beve ‘deem made, Thete whe are well soquainted with Spain will be surprised at mothing which can occur here, Ju- brigue is the prime mover of the State machine. Cabi- pete are formed and dissolved by o nigh. Love-sick ladies and court favorites decide the destinies of all the Spains. A young girl of seventeen rules the oldest and most celebrated of European States. Her husband, o youth, such asin England iscalled a spoony, conceives a dislike to her, and chooses to reside in different house, ‘She soon finds consolation for his absence in the egreeable society of a handsome young officer, who, enjoying her un- bounded favor, becomes, as it is called, “the manof th. situation.” He makes and unmakes miniatries ; all in ell with the corps diplomtigue; without his ap- roviag nod nothing can bs done. But lo! it bas whispered that smiles have heen lavished on an me offlcer—a certain young colonel: end great is the confusion and uncertainty thereby pro- duced, which is‘ master of the situation.” There are two influences, for such is the polite name given here to the male favorites of the queen No one knows to-day what will happen in the palace to-morrow. When I last wrote to you, the hopes of the liberal party were exalted to the highest poiat. General Nar- ‘vaes, regarded as the typo of arbitrary power and of government, had just beer t from Paris, under ‘of Louls Philippe the queen dowager, hriatina, to seize the reins of power, wheedle the queen, get rid of “the influence,” and, if necessary, raise a military emeute ; for which purpose he wan sup: piled with ample funds ' In all this ke failed. The tne fluence’’ was too much for him. He was repulsed from the palace, ordered to go beck to Paris @ ministry formed in direct opposition to his advice aud instruo- tloos A general amnesty. including by name General Espartero, the arch enemy of the dowager queen and her unele. Louis Philippe, and the rival of Narvaez, was proclaimed, and the same ‘taro was restored to his rank, honors and emoluments. ‘Thusthe wind seemed set full im the sails of the liberal party. But. as I said, there is nothing certain here. To the utter amazement of all, there appeared in the gazette of to-dvy & royal ordonnance dismissing the cabinet en mnase, and pointing General Narvaez prime minister, with cabinet of his own special selection. Mao: pothesis which are brought ferward den political phenomenon. Some vaez gained over the first “influen with fears of the second “ influence. rs maintain the first “influence” has lost its tating power, and that the second “influence” is in the ascendant, and that it is this latter that Narvaex has in this i stance worked. Be this as it may, the fact is as indu- bitable as the leading type of the Madrid Gazette can mal How long vill it last? Aye, that is the ques- tion. What policy will Narvaez adopt? No one can foresee. He is s bold, unscrupulous soldier—the idol of the army. His instinct would be to govern by the sword. But there isa public opinion in Spain and in Europe. England has a voice loud and potential as that of Franoe, and te the policy most congenial to Narvaex she is the gworn foe. Meanwhile we must wait. My next will bring you more definite information, Greece. Arnens, Sept. 30,1847. A great event has occurred here since my last. M. Coletti, the prime minister of king Otho, has died of an acute internal malady. This minister was remarkable as being the tool and representative of the French Court, ‘whose sentiments he expressed, and under whose influ- ence he conducted the government of Greece. He was the main causé of the spparently incurable difference existing between this court and the Porte. It is, there- fore, probable, that his fall may at once be accompanied by the decline of Frouch influence in Greece, and by the re-establishment of our relations with Turkey. M. Co- letti was, in a measure, the pupil of M. Guixot, and when that is said, you well understand that he was an oppo- nent of all progress in the liberal and constitutional di- reotion. His last word: to M. M. Guizot and De Broglie. a6 yot, added to the cabinet since his death. The presi- dency of the council and the ministry of foreign affairs, both of which he held, are for the present distributed between members of the cabinet, of which he was him- self the head. This state of things, however, caunot continue; but whut change may take place, it is imposai- ble to predict. The elements of insurrection are every where fermenting through the kingdom; the finnuces are in a deplorabie state; we are unable to pay the in- terest of the debt, and with each gale we are menaced by an English fleet, threatening to distrain for the terest of the money sho has guaranteed.

Although two-thirds of those who o in trade are vara d bh aosigerd of the immutable laws to which, tamper wit! m an you will, tho relations of money must inevitably conform, and consequently cherish the belief that they have only to get into diffloultics for the Chancellor of thie ‘Exchequer to help them out, the fact that no relief can be suggested seems now too plain for any delusion upon thesubject. Last month we had four millions sterling to spare for railroads; this month we have three mil- Hons anda half. How can this asserti d the clamor of distress be coupled together? Let yutation wait upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer in the face of such facts, and tell him that forthe want of@ few thousands of pounds commercial firms are daily failing, that go- vernmont bills are unmarketabl that no one can prophesy where the fnischiet is to end. Will he not re- commend the application of some of these surplus mil- lions to the immediate exigencies of commerce, and re- q@est nis petitioners to wait upon him again when that experiment shall have been tested? On Friday last the London and Birming! Company took @ quarter of a million; on the same day the Caledoman took half a mil- lion; and on the day.after to-morrow the York and North Midland will take # quarter of million. If it be expe- dient for Mr. Glyn, Mr. Hope Johnstone, and Mr. Hud- som to put forward these demands, whence can it arise that mercantile firms,with securities in their hands, find a difficulty in obtalning, for any period, or at al rate of interest, a few comparatively amall amounta? It will be said that no one now eontends that it is expedient that these calls should be made; that all are agroed that nothing but impenetrable indifference to national ruin, ora sense of having proceeded so far in their mad career that it is now a4 dangerous to suspend as to go on, can be supposed to actuate the various direc- tors; but that the grand point is, that as the Legis- lature has given power to these individuals to ex- tort the amouats in question, if they choose to do #0, there is no use in talking about the matter; that the de. mands must be met, and that if commerce is to be lett without relief until payment of railway calls shall be- come imporsible, it is quite clear our whols system will be in jeopardy. If the companies possess all these powers, what is to prevent them from immediately ab- sorbing every thing that might be given with the inten- tion of assisting commerce? The highest issue of paper which the moet ardent anti-gold financiers have yet con- templated is six millions, and if that amount were issued to-morrow, can any oue doubt that the immediate ease which would follow,would be the signal for @ preportion- ate augmentation of those demands, which during the past two months bave only been kept at # total of eight millions, by the consciousness that neither threats, ery, nor force, could by any possibility extort more ig ® notorious fact that for the last half year * th ing state ofthe money-market” has been mentioned at every railway meeting to account for the “slow” pro- gress of the works, and the simple result of the adoption of @ remedy would, therefore, be to remove the only means by which the mania ‘has hitherto been kept within that range, which has sufficed to bring us to our present condition, But although relief, in the permanent sense of the word, is out of ‘the question, it is to be repeated that the peculiar events of the past few days have been the result of no inevitable necessity. For the downward course of trade until the public shall have vanquished their railway opponents, there is no help; but for the sadden jerks by which, in addition, the whole frame- work of our commercial system is every now and then ontirely dislocated, we are indebted soiely to the bank. On the 2d of September, exche:juer bills aud stock were considered by that corporation to be securities so desir. able that referential reduction in the rate of interest was resolved upon in order to get a larger nu than the public seemed disposed to Wilog in. For Gey veshe this impression, on the part of the bank, continued, and even when doubt came on, it was only as to whethur it was desirable to take them at a rate quite #0 low as five per cent. Accordingly, on the 3vth of September, an inti- mation was again given that the bank had still such an opinion of these seourities, and of its own power to take quantities of them, that although it could no longer re- cvive them at 5 per cent, it would continue to do so at 6}g. Here was a gradual progress, and the public (sup- posing them to be guided, ‘as they unfortunately are, by the actions of the Bank Court.fastead of by the returns in the Gazeite,) were entitled to suppone, if the securi- ties should grow less eligible, a gradual rise in the inte- rest demanded would continue to notify them of the tact. But iu thus calculating on the conduct of the bank, they had evidently forgotten the lesson that was taught them in April last; never to rely from one day to another on the policy of that institution. The securities which the bank thought it desirable on the 30th of September to take at 53g per cont, were deemed onthe lst of October to be of # character such as to require that no advance should be made upon them on any terms. It was not that they would be received only at 6,8, 10 or 15 per cent, or at such other rate as might have appeared sufficient to check any inordinate jure, but they must at once be rendered unmarketable by an announcement which would, of course, prevent all capitalists from touching them, and thus produse, not only a degree of private distrust, but, at the same timo, of national discredit more damaging than any other, while the effect of panic o1 ‘was of course to ‘cause all people imm: diately to hoard their resources, and thus to it the very object which the Court,in their suddenly ened terror, had in view How long the public will tolerate the accumulated injuries and disgraces which the bu thus continues te inflict upon the nation, it is need! inquire; but it is right that the ovils should be attri- buted to their true cause, while they are in actual pro- 088.
