M., the 4th inst., which says :— “ Money easier at the London Stock Exch ), worth tay oix bc cent. The India mailhas arrived Accounts id to be good.” OUR SPECIAL DESPATCHES, France. Parts, Oct. $1, 1847. Since the date of my last there is an absolute dearth of domestic news here. The public is engrossed altogether by foreign affuirs—by the money crisis in England, the menaced civil war in Switzerland, the progress of reform in Italy, the court intrigues and law quarrels of Madrid, and the march of the cholera from the East. This last scourge is regarded with peculiar horror by the Parisians, remembering, as they do, the de- vastation it spread on the occasion of its last vi- sitation. The king and his family continue to re- side at the palace of St Cloud, coming to Paris to hold cabinet councils and transact other pub- lic business, from time to time. M’lle Delucy, with whose nameeven the transatlantic public are familiar, ever since the Praslin murder, is still in the conciergerie,although it is certain that no serious ground cf inculpation can be found against her. The reform agitation proceeds as before. Banquet efter banquet is held, and oration after oration is delivered, each successive one being only the- reproduction of its ibreflesamor. While king Louis Philippe lives and governs,no serious reform will, however, be conceded. Spain. Maprin, Oct. 26, 1847. The same series of palace intrigues are still going on here, and the knot of plotting courtiers, called by courtesy a government, still roll about in carriages on the Prado, lounge in boxes at the opera, and occupy the anti-chambers of the palace. Since my last, a curious incident has occurred. ‘The basso of the opera has been sud- denly and without an hour’s notice seized by the police and sent to a prison in the provinces. No cause has been igned, either to the victim of this monstrous act of arbitrary power, or to the public, for such a proceeding. It is, however, generally reported that Signor Morail, who isa well looking man, was engaged at the palace to sing for the umusement of her majesty, and that his constant presence in the royal salons excited much notice ; algo, that the morning before his arrest, he was seen issuing from the palace at day break—a most unusual and unseasonable hour—and thathe could not be there at such a time for any Butvosca. merely vocal. In short, the story goes that Signor Morail was about to be a sort ot Rizzio to the Mary of the Escurial. On the other hand, it is asserted by the friends of Queen Isabelle that the whole business of the basso has been am infamous plot to bring discre- dit on her majesty. It is denied that there was any thing about the conduct of Signor Morail or his visits to the palace, to justity the arrest ; that the arrest was made to create reports unta- vorable to the character of the queen ; that, in fine, it is part and parcel of the plot which has been so long hatching, to push Isabella off the throne, to make room for the Duke and Duchess of Montpensier. | i The reconciliation of the Queen and King consort, which was reported in my last, isa hollow, heartless formality, into which the par- ties have been forced by the intrigues of the Queen mother. There is nothing real ia it. The King and Queen live separately in the pa- lace. The few inierviews which they have had have only been scenes of affliction and misery. They ride out on horseback separately, in differ- ent directions. The King ambles along the roads lading to the Prado. The Queen dashes off at full gallop along the Prado aud other pro- menuades. On one day only she was persuaded, for the sake of appearances, to make a prome- nade in an open carriage on the Prado, with the King and the Queen mother. It is said here that she was so indignant at the arrest of Signor Mo- rail, that she at firet wanted to dismiss Nar- vaez. This, however, appears to have been got over, and it was arranged that Narvaez should resign the portfolio of Foreign Affairs, in which he has been succeeded by the Duke of Soto- mayer, formerly Amvassador at London. The (queen mother, with her husband, inhabit their own palace, but visit the Queen daily. Italy. Rome, October 22, 1847. The sovereign Pontiff is proceeding with steadiness and energy in his system of enlight- ened reform. Since the date of our last corres- pondence a measure has been promulged which, in importance, even exceeds any thing hitherto accomplished. His Holiness has established a Council of State at Rome, in which the several provinces will be respectively represented. This body will, in fact, form the government of the country, of which the Pope is the head; it will be divided into sections, among which the dif- ferent branches of legislative and administra- tive business will be divided ; one of the most important of its attributes will be its contro) over the finances, which will be most complete —no taxes can be imposed, Or levied, or abolish- ed, without its sanction—no loan can be con- tracted, or debt liquidated, or public contract concluded, without its approbation; in a word, it contains the precious germ of constitutional aod representative government and popular in- stitutions. It is true that the plan is not yet per- fect, and that the elective principle is not brought directly into play, but there is enough of popular spirit in it to ensure its ultimate growth into a vigorous constitution. te There has, ot course, been the usual popular exultation consequent on this measure. The Pope and his liberal minister, Cardinal Feretti, have been the objects of magnificent ovations. Lord Minto, a quasi ambassador from Eng- land, has just arrived here. You are aware that according to the English law, an ambassador cannot be accredited to the Pope. This technical difficulty has been surmounted by sending di- rectly to His Holiness a nobleman who is not only’g near relative of the Prime Minister of Began, but himself a member of the Briuish cabinet. Ferrara, October 23, 1847, This town and citadel still continue to be oc- |cupied by the Austrian troops, notwithstanding the assurances we have constantly received of Hits approaching evacuation. ‘The truth is, that Austria offered to evacuate the town, retaining, howévelya garrison in the citadel, as has always been done since 1815. This, however, was pe- remptorily declined by Rome, and a demand was made for the evacuation not only of this town and citadel, but also for the evacuation of Commachio. To this demand Prince Metter- nich demurred, and his objection has been ren- dered still more decisive since the abdication of the Duke of Lucca, for that event puts the for- tress of Pontrenoli in the hands of the Arch- duchess Maria Louisa, as Duchess of Parma, which is equivalent to its being In the possession of Aust Now the three fortresses of Pon- rrara, and Commiuchio, form the keys 1 Italy. By the first, Austria would command the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, and by the last two she. would hold in check the States of the Church. Upon the slightest pre- text, she would thus have the power to overrun by. her legions all Central Italy, where those principles of constitutional government that she most devoutly hates have taken root. | Meanwhile, our population ia subject to the continued.outrages of the Austrian soldiers. A few days ago an inoffensive individual was sulted by a sentinel; on remonatrating ho was brutally wounded with a bayonet, and the crowd which collected around to aid hi upon by the post. Whether any sat be obtained for such outrages, rem: seen. Frorgnce, Oct. 22, 1847. The abdication of the Duke of Lucca, and the transfer of that principality to the Grand Duke of Tuseany, has been productive of a hardship on a part of the population of this duchy which was not at first foreseen. By the treaty of Vienna, concluded in 1815, it was settled that whenever the duchy of Luecha should revert to Tuscany, the cantons of Fivi- zano and Pontremoli, parts of the latter duchy, should be transferred, the first tothe duchy of Mo- dena, and the second to the principality of Parma. Now, it will be remembered that at present the Grand Duke of Tuscany, next to the Pope, is the most popular and liberal of Italian sovereigns— while the Duke of Modena and the Duchess of Parma are among those who are most retrograde, most arbitrary, and most detested. The popula- fion of Fivizano and Pontremoli have, until now, participated in the benefits of the reforms effect- ed by the Duke of Tuscany, and enjoyed those liberties and constitutional privileges which that rince conferred on his people. It can, there- fore, be easily imagined how indiguant they are at being transferred, like flocks of sheep, from one master to the other, losing their liberties and constitution, and passing under the iron despotism of Modena and Parma. The greatest excitement on this subject prevails at present. Ai dapptaton trom these cantons waited on the grand duke at Luccha, to implore of him not to abandon them. The grand duke has accordingly tried in vain to induce the sovereigns of Modena and Parma to accept a pecuniary indemnity, in lieu of the districts to be transferred. There are particular reasons why Austria, which is the real mistress of these petit States, desires to have these—one of which is, that Pontremoli is a strong military position, and,with Ferrara and Commacchio, would give Austria the command ofcentral Italy. The last accounts say that the inhabitants of these districts were determined rot tosubmit to be transferred, and had actually destroyed the , and cut trenches across the roads, to prevent the approach of artillery. They also threaten to emigrate en maase. The Duke of Modena has not a disposable force of above 800 mea, who could do little against a population of 45,000, decided to resist to the death. In fine, in the present state of pablic opinion in Italy, and in the midst of the excitement pro- duced by the reforms in the Papal States. and in the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, it is difficult to imagine how the governments of the adjacent States can continue stationary; but it is utterly impossible to conceive that the population of any provinces attached to those States.in which re- forms have been effected, and constitutional principles admitted, could passively submit to be transferred to the sway of hopeless and unmiti- gated despotiam. Feeble they might be to resist by themselves, but the indignation which all urope would feel at their situation, would be to them atower of strength. Nevertheless, since the above was written, we have received letters which assure us that possession has been actual- ly taken of one of the above districts by the Duke of Modena. Napuas, Oct. 21, 1847. The government of this unhappy country is determined that its people shall be involved in Cimmerian darkness—an absolute prohibition is laid on the importation and exportation of po- litical news. Intelligence is a prohibited article in the Nea- politan tariff. Newspapers are not permitted to arrive, and none are allowed to be printed, ex- cept the official gazette of the government, mis- called “The Journal of the Two Sicilies,” in which the King and his ministers. assume: the: privilege of lying to a mexsurelese extent. Let- ters departing or arriving through the post office are unscrupulously opened, and if they are founa to transmit political intelligence, are destroyed. You will aan tA this case, how any information can ever be obtained? But it is not easy thus to seal hermetrically a country; the demand for po- litical news is too urgent not to meet witha sup- ply, and if the legitimate dealer in it be stopped, the smuggler immediately steps in ; letters ac- cordingly which would be stopped in the post office, are transmitted, as occasion offers, by rivate hand; besides which, however willing ing Ferdinand might be to sew up the mouths orcut out the tongues of travellers, his power, ia ee Tespect, is not quite as extensive as his will, The insurrection in the Calabrias is nearly suppressed. This has, of course, been accom- plished by. brute force, and a system of torture and terrorism which has scarcely had a parallel, even in the worst atrocities of the French revo- lution. Thus it is reported that the insurgents taken at Reggio had been submitted by the po- lice, for the recreation of the latter, to the process of having their hair and beards plucked out by the root, hair by hair. [When that erty was bom- barded by the steamers of King ferdinand, shells were thrown purposely into the orphan asylum, where it was known thatthe children of the inhabitants had taken refuge.] A pro- clamation has beencirculated bythe government, 1 which not only impunity is offered to all per- song who shall murder certain persons specified by nume, known or suspected to be engaged in the insurrection, but a reward for such assina- tion, of 300 ducats per head, is actually offered. It is to be recorded to the credit of the people, that the worstof them are not so base as their King; not an individual was to be found who would seek a reward so infamous, and many, on the contrary ,were,ready, at the risk of their own lives to aid in the escape of the unfortunate proscribed. Switzerland, Bexne, October 28, 1847. Events have continued, from day to day, de- veloping the elements of civil discord, and, although the public in different parts of Europe are unwilling to believe that the conflict will end in Swiss cufting the throats of Swiss, it is difficult here to see any other ivsue of the pre- sent situation. The cantons literally bristie with bayonets ; troops are everywhere marching and countermarching; entrenchimentsare thrown up, stockades constructed, guard-houses pre- pared, generals nominated, and proclamations issued. Hitherto, the seven cantons of the league have relied, in a great degree, on the probable intervention in their favor, of Austria ana France ; and, indeed, such a measure was generally supposed probable, until within the last few days. It seems, however, now, that the utmost extent to which these powers propose to go, is to withdraw their ambassadors from the territory of Switzerland, as soon as hostilities commence, The Austrian ambassador, who re- sides at Zurich, has already given notice of his departure to the government of that canton, and he has coupled this notice with an explicit state- ment that his withdrawal from Switzerland is not to be understood as any indication of an in- tention, on the part of Austria, to interfere in the internal sflairs of the confederacy. In tact, he has distinctly intumated that no intervention will be attempted. This has, of fads tags ae damped the spirits of the Sonderbund. ‘The de- legates of the seven cantons of the league had a conference, yesterday, with M. Bois je Comte, the French ambassador, at which, it is under- stood, the Austrian ambassador was present, having arrived from Zurich incog. for that pur- pose. Both the ambassadors strongly advised mutual concession ; and a further assurance was given to the deputies that no interventian on the part of foreign powers would take place. An- other conference had taken place between the delegates of the Sonderbund and Mr. Peel, the Briush minister, by whom the same assurances were given, and the same advice offered. In consequence of all this, the deputies of the jeague made a proposition to the general govern- ment, offering to dissolve the league, provided the Jesuits were allowed to remain. As this in fact, be coficession only on one side, rejected ; and, according to some reports, the delegates of the Sonderbund are about to quit Berne to-day, for their respective cantons ; ac- cording to others, they are about to submit to the Vorort a further proposition, offering to con- sent to the removal of the Jesuits, on condition that the cantons of the league shall receive an indemnity of two millions of franes, to pay the expenses of their war preparations. Such a pre« position would, however, be declined. Mean- while, it is said that M. Bois le Comte intimated that, in the course of a few days, the question will be settled by the arrival of the news from Rome of the dissolution of the fraternity of the reverend fathers. Turkey, Constantinorie, Oct. 18, 1847. The alarm which has been excited here by the reported approach of the’cholera, has been much abated; no decided case has yet been manifested here. One patient in a vessel coming from Tre- bisond, had the disease and died in the Lararetto» but it did not spread further. At Trebisond the epidemie augmented in intensity, and the mortality in proportion to the cases, was enormous ; but having reached its maximum, it declined, and is now disappearing; it jowever, making progress in Russia, where it has follow- ed 4 course northwards towards St. Petersburg and Moscow. The quarrel between Turkey and Cireece still remains unsettled; it was expected that the death of M. Coletti, the late Prime Minister of Greece, would have brought it to an issue; but nothing of the kind has happened. The mediation We have received accounts from Switzerland to 29th ult., which confirm the important fact, that fhe last attempts made to arrange matters between the Federal government and the can- tons of the Sonderbund had failed. The propo- sitions made by the delegates of the league were found to be not only unreasonable, but to have been made for the purpose of gaining time, and without any intention of carrying them into exe- cution. Our last advices from Athens state, that Gen. Grivas continued to be treated with the highest distinction by the Ottoman authorities of Janina, where his partizans were not only allowed to re- tain their arms, but were even paid out of the treasury of the Sultan. Atthe date of the last intelligence from Janina, he was engaged in an active correspondence with the discontented of the frontier provinces, which he evidently in- tended to invade. inion of the Mexican War in Bir ‘The fect of the Capture of the City Sr Mexico. From the London Times, Oct. 25} The effect produced at Liverpool on Saturday, by the intelligence from America, was a singular indication of the extent to which the best inte- rests of two civilized and commercial coun- Prince Metternich proved abortive, and the Russian cabinet has now taken the thing up with a view to an adjustment. The Porte ie adopting stringent measures. All commercial relations are suspended, the coasting trade is stopped, and the exequators withdrawn from all Greek Consuls in Turkish ports. Nevertheless, war between the countries is not feared, as the great powers of Europe would rather interfere and compel a set- tlement, than permit such a general calamity. Ireland, : Several matters of interest and importance have lately taken place in Ireland. That country still remains a prey to anarchy and confusion, so that murders—cruel, horrid, blood-thirsty murders—continue to disgrace the south and western provinces. The question of tenant right is now being much discussed and agitated, from one end of the kingdom to the other. A kind of monster meeting was held at Kilmactho- mas, on the 24th. The object of the meetin was to take steps to promote the ‘tenant right question. The requisition by which it was con- vened, bore the signatures of nearly eighty Ca- tholic clergymen, including four vicars-general, twenty parish priests, and fifty curates, besides six hundred tenant farmers, and many respect- able merchants and shopkeepers. Among the more prominent persons who attended the meet- ing, were Mr. John O’Connell, M. P.; Nicholas Power, M.P.; and Sir H. W. Barron. The speeches were long, and some of them fier: against the evils of the present system, whic. gave farmers no right or interest in the improve- ment of their land. Mr. O’Connell spoke at much length. The greater part of his speech had special reference to the repeal of the Union, and the advantage of having back the Irish Par- liament in College Green. A petitiou to Parlia- ment was agreed on ; and after some other minor business had been transacted, the assemblage, which some of the Dublin papers estimate at twelve to fourteen thousand, quietly dispersed. An address, agreed to by the Catholic prelates of Ireland, has been presented to his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant. Both the address and Lord Clarendon’s reply, are remarkable documents— the most important state papers which have been brought before the public for many years. The prelates, in their address, boldly, but in re- spectful language, state the distress under which Ireland is at present laboring, and advert to t cause of her impoverishment. The poor law state to be insufficient to mitigate, to the pro; extent, the miseries and the privations of | poor. The conduct of the Irish peasantry is v dicated trom the charge of indolence wh is now being heaped vpon them. The prela also alluded to the penal laws which hed be: enacted against the Irish population, and urged their repeal. The answer of Lord Clarendon is certainly much applauded. He meets the pre- lates on every point; and from what they have said onthe grievances of Ireland, he takes occa- sina to inculcate lessons which, if acted upon, {1 do much towards the regeneration of that unhappy land. Among the melanchely events of the day we must note the suicide of Professor M’Callagh, of the University of Dublin, which took place early last week. The learned gentleman had brought on temporary insanity by excessive study. . The usual weekly meeting of the Repeal Asso- ciation took place at Conciliation Hall on the Ist, but it was devoid of any public interest The rent amounted to about £30. .The recent circulars of the relief commis- sioners, announcing to the respective unions the amount of the reliet advances which have been remitted, the sum remaining due, and placing a sort of lien upon the produce of the rates in bank, to the credit of the guardians, pending re- payment of the debt, has produced a sort of ter- ment in some of the unions, whilst in others, for instance Beilina, the communication of the com- missioners has been received with thankfulness. In truth, a very large proportion of the advances has been wholly remitted in the more distressed districts; and with regard to the ‘impounding the rates,” so much compiained ofwe are dis- posed to believe that some misapprehension ex- ists as to the real object of the commissioners. Certain it is that an order has been already re- ceived in some ot the unions, allowing the usual disbursements to be made from the funds in banks for the expense of the workhouses. It is likely that the commissioners merely seek to establish the right of controlling the funds of the unions, wile the residue of the advances remains un- paid. : The re-appointment of 23 out of the 120 naval and military officers who served under the relief commission last year in Ireland, is painfully in- dicative of the intentions of the government to take some measures for the distribution of food during the ensuing winter. To what extent this reliet will be carried is at present altogether con- jectural ; but the frightful accounts of destitu- tion which reach us trom the western coasts of ireland render some sort of government aid abso- lutely imperative. . H ‘i One of the first duties will be, when Parlia- ment assembles, to take into consideration the state of Ireland. Misceliancous.

Our Paris correspondent informs us that the Kingof the French presided, in person, at the cabinet council held on Wednesday, the 27th ult, at Se. Cloud. The question of an armed in- tervention in Switzerland was again discussed, and was, it is said, advocated by M. Duchatel and M, Guizot. ‘he Minister of War did not share the opinion of his two colleagues on tome essential points. Atallevents, the King is dis- posed to employ every possible. means towards effecting a reconciliation, conjointly with Aus- tria.

The hourly ingroestng cht erof a Swiss civil war, sinee war is actually declared, is the onl topic connected with European politics whic! attracts much attention.

Informa- tion of renewed hostilities in India could hardly have excited more lively dissatistaction than the tidings that a Mexican peace was apparently as far off as ever. If any citizen of the United States should be perversely persuaded that Eng- land desires citherthe discomfiture or embarrass- ment ef his country, he need only observe how the arrival of each successive mail affects our great commercial communities. Calculations of ex- change and exports leave very little room for considerations of jealousy, and political conclu- sions altogether vanish,compared with the pr. pects of trade. It cannot be denied that the ap- prehensions of interminable hostilities excited by the late despatches, are fully warranted by the intelligence they bring. Indeed, it is not easy to discover a single point in which the position of the Americans is materially mended. The armistice, under the terms. of which we late- ly left both armies snatching a_ brief repose, has been summarily terminated, if not abrupt- ly broken; and the renewal of the war ap pears to have been signalized by two engage- ments of unusual severity, in one of which the Americans suffered a decided, but not dishonorable repulse. It seems that they broke up on the 8th u.t. from Tacubaya, and as- saulted a strong post at Chapultepec, situate about midway between Tacubaya and Mexico ; but that they met with a resistence so determined, or a force so overpowering, that they were compelled to retire. Intelligence, purporting to be of six days’ later date, then states that Chapultepec had been just carried by storm, and that the American army had entered Mexico, Santa Anna retiring before them to Gaudaloupe. The conduct of the American troops throughout the whole war, which, as far as regarde their behavior in the field, does honor to the race from which they spring, will lead us at once to the conclusion that the last reports are highly probable, and that the pre- vious reverse, ifit ever happened, as is related, was brought about by some prodigious disparity of numbers or position. Still this mends matters but little; for neither the capture of the city of Mexico nor the display of national superiorit the object of Mr. Polk or his General. hat they want is the submission of the enemy, and the conciliatory termination of hostilities; and so far are these ends from being attained,that the exasperation and pertinaeity of the Mexicans in- crease vpon each defeat, and they have never de a nearer approach toa masculine or credit- able deportment than at this very moment,when, according toall calculations, they ought to have | been beaten into sure subserviency. The abor- tive negotiations which preceded the renewal of the war,and which willbe found in a detailed form elsewhere, are in a high degree instructive,as im- dicating more conclusively than any other evi- dence could do, the intentions and confidence of the respective parties. On the side of the United States it was proposed that the boundary line of the two republics should run up the middle of the Cirande, strike off westward on reaching the limit of New Mexico, take the course of the (ila and the lower Colorado, and so through the mouth of the latter river down the middle of the Californian Gulf,inte the Pacific. In other words, this would bring the south-western boundary line of the United States about ten degrees fur- ther south, would deprive Mexico of all Upper and Lower California, as wellas of the districts on the Grande,and would leave her with the Gila for her northern boundary, but just above the present frontier of Sonora, which marks her setiled territories. Enormous as was thisclaim, it was not the point upon which the negotiations broke off, for the Americans phrased their re- quirements considerately, and offered 4 liberal price for the cession they desired. Santa Anna, it ig true, was for reserving a certain portion ot California, for Mexican expansion, and he sug- gested the 37th in place of the 32d parallel, as the boundary of the two countries. Yet it is hardly disguised that on the point of cession and sale in this quarter the Mexican commissioners were amenable to the reasons which Mr. Polk brought, by miilions, against them, and the transfer might have been completed but for a comparatively, insignificant slice of debateable land. The old Texan boundary line was again brought under discussion, the one party insist- ing on the Grande, and the other, as in honor bound, upon the Nueces; and this little difference proved incapable of adjustment between parties who had just been judicionsly chaffering about ten degrees of territory! It 1s thus clear that from the great object which has been so unhap- pily sought by a war,the Americans are now only separated by an obstacle which that very war has raised. ‘We have before expressed our per- suasion that, looking at the natural destinies and necessities of men and states, the vast province of New California would much more reasonably ‘all to the lot of an expansive and enterprising people who might reclaim its wastes and colonize ita shores, than remain the nominal and desert ap- panage of a stationary or retrogading race which could never have either the motives or the means to improve its advantages for commerce, or explore the resources of its soil. Itis not the demand itself, but the manner in which it has been made, which has proved at once so discreditable and disastrous to the aggressors. It can scarcely be doubted that if the United States had quietly and sagaciously made the same ofler before the war which they make now, the bargain might have been amicably arranged, and tne costs of the intervening hostilities,which, iadependently of blood wasted and credit sunk, amount to more than the whole purchase money of the desired territory, might all have been saved. This however, then appeared too costly a policy, and bullying was substituted for barter by a Cabinet willing to acquire a provinee without paying its just price. Advantage was taken of two flimsy pretexts to proclaim a war. With a signal forget- fulness of her own indebtedness to foreign States and of the outery with which she had receive a monitory intimation that compulsion on the part of a despairing creditor was strictly justifia- bie by international law, America announced her intention of enforcing, at ‘he sword’s point, the demands of her own citizens upon the citi- zens of Mexico. The preference to be given to one of two contiguous rivers as 4 boundary sup- plied an immediate opportunity of action, and trom the debatable strip between the Grande and the Nueces, the American forces marched into Mexico, thinking to fix the terms and the period of their own retreat, and to win, by @ glorious and agreeable campaign, the land for which they were reluctant to pay down a more equitable consideration. The proverbial fruits of such policy are now before the world. Instead of the fortune they anticipated, they have now experienced eighteen months of distressing and unprofitable warfare, in which they have indeed borne themselves bravely enough, but in a cause so bad that nothing but the most egregious compound of poltroonery and gasconade could have deprived their adver- suries of the sympathies of Europe. They have successively adopted in full confidence, and abandoned in utter despair, a hundred schemes for convincing or cémpressing their enemy into the desired docility. They have won a score of fights without getting any nearer to their mark, and now, at last, after reaching the hostile can - tal by force of arma, #fter descending to mollity- ing memorials and deprecatory correspondence, after undertaking to satisfy from the national exchequer those very private demands whieh they had made a cause of war, and after tender- ing for the coveted territory the very moneys which they embarked in the war to save, they find their proposuls deliberately rejected by an emboldened enemy, and themselves reduced to straits from which they can only escape by con- cessions which wouid convict at once their first policy and their sent perplexity, or by re- Houbled efforts of sanguinary violenee which may end no better than betore ‘The Progress of the Cholera. The Allgemeine Zeitung of the 27th ult. says: —*The cholera is advancing from the east to the west, butas yet it has not reached a more Westerly point than Kertsch, on the Sea of Azoff. The winter will impede its progress, but not change the direction it has taken,” The Paris Presse contains the following con- solatory paragraph relative to the march of the cholera:—* The population of Paris is beginnin, to feel uneary with respect to the cholera, whiel appeared some time since in Russia, and every- body asks, will it reach France, as it did in the year 1832! As yet, there are several cireum- stances which ought togive us confidence, Its march is no longer the same, as it moves from north to east, and very slowly, being the contrary of what occurred in 1831 and 1832. At that p riod its invasion caused an explosion in all di- rections, and it quickly attacked Russia, Poland, Prussia, Austria, England, and France. It has already ceased to appear in the ports of the Sea of Azof. It has seareely left any trace at Odessa, and everybody appears to be reassured as to the progress of this seourge in the southern pro- vinces of the Russian empire. Neitheris it a reason that because it has appeared in some towns of Russia it should come to France. cording to these considerations, it is not proba-~ ble that it willvisit.us. If, however, contrary to our anticipations, it should manitest itself in France, there is one fact which ought to reas- sure us, Which is that at first it marches mildly. ‘The persons attacked have, therefore, time to demand assistance, and to receive it in time to be cured—its symptoms are less grave, and the mortality less great.’? £058: The cholera is said to be on the decline in Trebizond; but even the last reports give the number of deaths as amounting daily to from 10 to 15. The Finanetal C; in B nd ta 2 dee Be St rome tae a of En, 5 Frem the London Chronicle, Oct. 26.} The following is a copy of the letter addressed to the eeswine and deputy-gevernor of the bank, by the First Lord of the Treasury and the Chan- cellor of the Exchequer, together with the reso- lution of the directors of the bank resulting from that letter :— Downina etnent, Oct. 25, 1847. Her Majesty's geternment have seen it regret the pressure which existed upon the commercial interests of the country, and that this pressure has been aggravated by want of that confidence which is necessary for carry- ing on the ordinary dealings of trade. ‘ihey have been in hopes that the check given to transactions of » speculative character, the transfer of capital from other countries, the influx of bullion, and the feeling which ® knowledge of these clroumstances might have been expected to produce, would have re- moved thi ing distrust revailing \. They were encouraged in this expectation by the speedy ereation of a similar state of feeling inthe month of A t. These hopes have, however, been disappointed, and her Majesty's government have come to the conclusion that the time has arrived when they ought to attempt, by some extraordinary and tem; measure, to re- store confidence to the mercan' community. For this purpose they recommend to the directors of the Bank of England, in the present to en- large the amount of their discounts and upon approved security ; but that, in order to retain this ope- ration within reasonable limits, a high rate of interest should be charged. In present meer oe A Would suggest that the rate of interest should not be less then 6 cent. If ath Sours should boomy to any fatrngatne it ohne] existing law, her jeaty’s government w' to pesca to Parliament, on its meeting, # bill ‘of Indesa- nity. ‘They will rely upon the discretion of the directors to reduce, as soon as possible, the amount of their notes, if any extraordinary issues should take place, within limite prescribed by law. Her Majesty’s government are of opinion that any extra profit derived from this measure should be oar- ried to the account of the public, but the precise mode of doing so must be left to future arrangement. Her Majesty’s government are net insensible to the evil of any departure from the law whieh has placed the currency of the country upon «sound basis; but they feel eonfident that, in ths present circumstance, the measure which they have pro} may be vehope ed; and that, at the same time, the main of that law and the vital principle of preserving the con- vertibility ofthe bank note may be firmly maintained.

[From the London Times, Oct. 26,] That the Bank Charter Ball should have been virtually extinguished at the moment of its first severe trial, can hardly be said to have been an unexpected event. That the step should have been announced this morning, however, 18 very generally a matter of astonishinent. Had it been occasioned by a combined movement of its ene- mies during the pressure in the middle of last week, or had its doom been foretold for the very first night of the next session of Parliament, no one would have felt surprise. Those who most admired its principle saw too plainly the effects ot its immutable action to look on with any- thing but apprehension when the question of ite existence was to be decided by the voluntary acquiescence of those upon whom its stern les- son was to be enforced. In calm discussion, and amidst almost universal approval, the bill was passed. Jt was to providea restraint against national folly (whenever it should reach the extent of endangering national credit, but there was no possibilily of insuring that this provision, made in sobern should be voluntarily acquiesced in when excitement might reach its height. It was admirable to see the pledge taken, but it was also easy to foretell the probability of its being broken. But, let that event occur when it might, it was always supposed it would be during the rush, and not at the subsidence of a panic. On Friday, in London, everything indicated a great- er feeling of steadiness. On Suturday ae- counts came from Liverpool of a “percep- tible improvement ;” from Manchester it was reported, ‘ everything here continues quiet, and there is a more hopeful feeling beginning to pre- vail; while from America we had tidings of bullion on its way, to the extent of upwards of a quarter of a million. With Mondey came re- ports of a meeting at Newcastle—one of the great centres of excitement—expressing unre+ served confidence in the banks, coupled with ac- counts of persons bringing back their money, and being very properly refused permiasion to deposit 11; while from St. Petersburgh, Amster= dam, and all parts of the continent, came tidings of even larger shipments of gold than those which had been announced from America. At this mo- ment a meeting in the metropolis, similar to that at Newcastle, would most probably have been the only thing need: d to complete the resto- ration of confidence, at least of that kind of con- fidence which renders the legitimate trader sat while it leaves the speculator still power- less. But the bankers of London raised no word of response to the provinces. Complai ing of the ‘want of confidence,” they formed what they considered to be their duty to their country in paayering, the improved feeling by a terrified rush to Downing street. That movement having been successful, the go- vernment has now fairly taken the o on ite own shoulders. ‘The consequences may easily be foreseen. A general belief that the worst is over; @ withholding of shipments, which would otherwise have been forced off at a sacrifices a rise in the price of cotton, as well as of all other articles; a steady incr e of imports; @ continu- ance of railway wo and a readiness to enter into future commitments, where, otherwis: would have been caution and contraction; a re- newed drain of bullion, unattended to this time, because the ** government will give aid if things go wrong;” a contraction of the circulation; new deputations for relief, enforced by repre- sentations of the good effected by the relief i October; new concessions; another rebound o1 prices, and of * confidence;” again a. drain ot bullion; an alarm at the exhausted coffers of the bank; @ rush for gold; an issue of one pot notes; another rebound and another paniye, eat finally, a suspension of specie payments, or
