Is it not your habit and yonr relief to turn from these sordid latter ages to thore when the profession of arms was s solemn rite of the church—when kings about to be crowned appear- ed atthe altarin full armor—when swords and ban- ners were solemnly blest by stoled priests and mitred abbots, and the military man knew no other crucifix than the hilt of his beloved sword? Do not divorce ebivalry andthe church, the child and the parent.

But what care they for genius, or virtue, or patriotism? These iron machines called fgovernments, who “ grind down men’s bones to a pale unanimity.’ So they trembled at the voices of these young preachers, and strove to crush them by cunning and ingenious tor- tures that made life more terrible even than death, and soon there were noble hearts writhing in prison cells ; and proud hearts breawing in ignominious exile ; and now with the groans of the dying, there went up from our fated land the shrieks of despairing mothers, and the weeping of young wivess left desolate by their Jon¢lyhearth, and the bewildered cries of orphaned chil- dren when they heard they had no father.

To my mind never to a nation was there vouchsafed a fairer opportunity fer winning independence. A grander prize was never heli out to the imperial am- bition of the patriot, than the freedom and fame in the reach ofus if we be faithful and resolute. If the gift be spurned, no hope can come of liberation more, until this generation sleeps with its “ Ancestry of Helots.”” Think of the oppression, the misery, the deadly wrongs, that call for the prostration of the dominion that enslaves, and robs,and murders. Think! Think of the gallant men who enffer for their sei: sacrificing enthusiasm and fidelity. They plead to Ireland for succor; fer rescue—because her liberation will end their bondage. Think—till “ scorn, defiance, vengeance’’ (the trinity “Speranza” so grandly in- | yokes), nerve the heart, uplift the arm, and clench the liberating hand! Think.

In noticing this news, we would ask, what becomes of the treaty of Unkiar-Skelessy, which interdicts the passage of the Bosphorus to the ships of war of the west- ern powers ? The Commuttee of the National Assembly on the roposed decree relative to clubs, has, says the atric, unanimously recognised the immense dan- ger of such institutions, and yoted their suppres- sion, on the ground that political bodies, without legal authority, cannot be permitted to dictate to duly constituted powers, and obtain influence at the risk of convulsing society. 2 ; An important document appears in the Univers. It.is the reply of the Pope to the Roman Chamber of Deputies, in which his Holiness is obliged to controvert several positions assumed by that body, and to defend himself against the meditated en- croachments of this newly created House of Com- mons. ‘ ‘ The Constitutionnel gives the following from its correspondent at Toulon, dated 15th inst:— “The Pluton, steam corvette, which left Naples on the 12th, arrived here this morning, bringing import- ant despatches frum Admiral Baudin, the contents of which have been forwarded to Paria by the tele; “At the moment when the Pluton was ing Naples, the news reached that city by the English steamer Porcupine, which had been dispatched in all haste to the British ambassador, that the Sicilian par- liament, after declaring itself in favor of a constitu- tional monareby, with an Italign King, had decided, by a great majority, that the crows of Sicily should be offered to the Duke of Genoa, second son of Charles Albert, who is now in his 26th or 27th year. This news produced the most lively sensation at Naples. “The English squadron, under the orders of Vice Adwiral Parker, which had left Malta on the 29th June, and which had for some days been cruising between that island and Sicily, appeared off Palermo, and came to an anchor on the jog as well as the two French men of war, the Inflexible and the Jupiter. Admiral Baudin was directing his course towards that port, with the other vesrels of his equadron. “The Pluton will return immediately to the squadron with dispatches for the admiral. Admiral Trehouart, who has been appointed second in command of th Fs ench squadron in the Mediterranean, has left for his destination in the Tonnerre, steamer. ‘The artillery waggons have been busily employed for the last day or two in carrying muskets to the ma- rine arsenal, to be embarked on board a steamer for Genoa. The Moniteur publishes the decree nomir-*ing M. Trouve Chauvel to be Prefect of the Suse, in the room of M. Armand Marrast, whose resig- | nation has been accepted; and M. Ducoux to be Prefect of Police, im the room of M. Trouve Chauvel, appointed Prefect of the Seine. _ The bureaux have terminated the examination of the draft of the constitution. The 2d, 3d, and %h bureaux yesterday nominated M. Thiers, M. Berenger, and M. Panien, to be their delegates to the (‘ommittee on the Constitution. The Mon:teur publishes the following decree, signed by General Cavaignae,— “*PRENCH REPUBLIC. “ Liberty, Equality, Fraternity. “In the name of the French people. “ On the report of the Minister of the Interior, yn troops, woul support in the eventualities of a war. the king of Prussia did not allow us long to dread this ; our relations witb him, through intervention of M de Circourt, reassured us at once. ‘The events of Berlin, the first connected with the poll- cy of the 24th February, added to our confidence in’ this quarter. What could a Prussian intervention now do against us? Let M. Manguin himeelf, if he can. extricate himself trom the dilemma in which alt lace him. ‘The king ef Prussia, almost obliged to exile Binrcelt from his capital at Potsdam in the midst of his troo is in truth but the king of the ar- my. Well, then, of two courses, either the king of Prussia must throw himeelf into the arms of his peo- ple and wake an alliance with the most liberal, the Most democratic, and the most enlightened people of Germary, or he must separate himself from bis y Tema. :urrounded by his faithfal Po ape ally him- elf with Kussia. If the king of ssia unites with his pec ple, their democratic sympathies will lead them foretbly towards us, and our natural alliance is con- summated, Or the king of Prussia will remain in the midst of his army, and will make an alliance with Rus- sia to reconquer bis own country, and then what could ereign do, obliged to take Ri as auxiliary, and reconquer his throne and nation by the aid of foreign- ers? We have, then, in either case, nothing to fear from Prussia. ‘The twelve or fifteen democratic revo- lutions which have taken (aed the centre and north of Germany, after that of Berlin, have always produced the same result. Everywhere, by natural attraction, and of which the pacific attitude France has been the signal, the people have detached themselves from the abrolutist principles of their governments, to a) cach with all the influence of this attraction the ench people, and by that the necessary alliance with France. . Guizot adopted as a maxim, “ Peace at any price.” I have woe and would give my country another maxim, “The union of France and Germany at any price.” But this is not all. Look into that citadel of old absolutism at Vienna as to what we have to hope or fesr relative to the Rhine, Italy, and the court of Austria; what cana court do at this moment whose sovereign has been obliged to fly his capital and see! asylum at Innspruck in the ses of the Tyrol? What can a court do from which fraly is now separating i! and driving from Milan, from Venice, and all the Italian territery the Austrian aimy? What can a court do whose nominal sove- reignty is barely recognised by Hungary, whieh has levied for itrelf a separate army and appoiated its own Miniter of Foreign Affairs, to { Aesbie its own interests ‘apart from those of Austria, which at this moment has ordered afresh levy of 200,000 men, not to place them at the mercy of Austria, but to create a bulwark for its own independence. which, as | have this morning learned, Las declared that not one Hungarian soldier shall cross the frontier to fight against the Italians? What, in fine, can this court do when Bohemia divides iteelf into the Sclave and Teutonic races, and ageneral of the empire is obliged to bombard Prague, one of the capitals of the empire? But I will go still farther, and ask what can # court do from the brow of whose emperor the diet of Frankfort has torn the Imperial crown of Germany to place it on the head of the Arch- duke Jobn? Is it a court thus circumstanced that can menace France, either in a coalition on the Rhine or a resistance, very prolonged @nd very triumphant, to the independence of Italy? No, evidently not!— This naturally brings me to the «Herta of Italy it- | seit. particularly dwelt upon by M. Napoleon Bona- | parte. Before, hewever, I enter on this, I would notice | two observations of M. Manguin, for I should not | leave any point obscure or unanswered. M.

Manguin, Belgium and | Spain. 1 will say, in two words, for every one knows it. and I would not cenceal it even from Belgium, that if at the revolution of February we had marched our army of the North, of 30.000 men, into Belgium, in one month Belgium would have been in our hands or ef- faced for the time from the map. We would not do i I would not do it; and I congratulate myself that would not, and it is on that account that the govern- ment would have nothing to do withit. Let me im- rees this on you, although it has been charged with it in the attempt, doubly culpable towards Belgium | and towards France, which the Belgian and French | democrats endeavored to carry into effect, in spite of | us, in that unfortunate expedition which wasjust now | spoken of on the Belgian frontier.

The annexed 18a full report of the speech of M; | Lamatjive..delivexer witiotial Assembly, on the | 15th ult. The report 1s understood to be supplied | by M. Lamartine himself :— | “Gentis©en:—There is nothing more agreeable, and | atthe same time more difficult, than to reply to a speech of M. Manguin on foreien affairs, He possesses | the elegancies of controversy: |v elevates and extends | his discustion to the height of bis inteiligence and the limits of the globe; but at the eame time has some | points of view so eccentric and so personal, and some- tme hazards such assertions, that one fears, in reject- ing an error, at the same time to cppoce a truth. He | borrows (to ure his own expression) a little of my poe- try for his policy. 1 would borrow of him a little of his good rense, science, and eloquence to refute it. He accuses frankly the position taken by French diplo- macy, and my manifest of February. It is, said he, a contradictory policy, assuring and menacing at the same time for foreign powers, If M. Manguin will again read this political declaration of February, he will per- haps acknowledge his error. Does not this manifest, sald he, pledge France to blow the fire of republicanism, | and support all the democratic insurrections ia the world? Quite otherwise; it adopts directly contrary views. Iteays that liberty, to be durable, should be indigenous to the soil; that before it is proclaimed in | the Institutions which are only the emanations of the | principles of the people it should exist in their charac- t France would not adopt any propaganda in- ry, agitative, much less perfdious; that she ac- knowledged the compatibility of all the governments, progressive or retarded; that she would not impel any ne before its due time, It added only, that when dee mocratic or popular institutions should be created, re- conyuered, oF organized round France, and within rench of her aid, if these democratic or popular parties called on her for support, in virtue of « conformity of prizciples, she would feel obliged to lend her assis- tance, This 1s what was said of the manifest, and this is what the minister has done for four months past. I contend that the manifest could not say, and the go- yernment could not do, otherwise for the republic, In | brief was the republic a republic of disorganization or conquest? Of disorganization? No, but of order, peace and fraternity with the nations. What did it | | require? Time to allo y Europe to understand its cha- | racter, for the purpose of avoiding. in its weakness and in its cradle, the display of those irritations and mii understandings by all the cabinets, who would imm diately have coalesced against it from an apprehen- rion of the terror that the league of 113 in. tpired. Is it true, as M. Manguin pretends— | fuithfal in that to his souvenirs of 1831—that this | | policy could have been as deceptive for France, that an | armed propaganda could have been more sure, and that We ate now more menaced with coalition than immedi- ately after the 24th of February? | will run with him from kingdom to kingdom, over the map of the ocean and the continent, and will prove to him by evidence that this policy has borne its fruits, prevented univer- | | sal war, and placed the republic in one of the freest | | and finest diplozmtic positions that France has ever | | held. I do notin this render honor to any one intel- ligence, but where it is due, to events; and I repent, | | Phat I stated yesterday, that it is Providence, who, for | four months, bas conducted the foreign affairs of the | republic, Let us begin with England. the powerful motive—source of all the wars, the bond of all the com | litions of the continent. What should be desired by a republic governed by well-informed and enlightened men? Agcod understanding with England, since on | this depends, ina great measure, the peace of the con- tinent. France and England, being divided. draw the | whole world inevitably into their quarrels, Now, allow me, gentlemen, to observe by what means an intelli- | gent and honest French diplomacy may maintain, spite of national prejudices, concord between England and France. , When it is necessary to make ® treaty with England, or to conduct any transactions in common with her, it is not only, it is not _principal- ly, the government which must be negotiated with; there is something in England more owerful thi yerpments and ministers—it is publie opinion. New there are in England two organic and traditional par- ties—the whigs and the torivs—the latter including all holding aristocratic opinions, the former icmraneit, at least as far as the institutions and character of Eng- land admit of such a developement. Each of these par. ties is a counterpoire to the other, and as one rises and the other dercends in public influence, the reins of = nt ore held by the whigs or tories respectively. ow one | eed advantage of the revolution of Febra- fo find a whig or liberal administration in England; for the party in public opinion that this ministry represents, could not have allowed it, without abandoning its principles, to declare itself hostile, ipso Socio, to the French republic, no more than in toa, when England did not oppose our first republic. The excentes of the republic, after "92, drove England to a coalition flea France; but | hope, and am confi- dent, that the moderation, wisdom, and loyalty of the republic of 1848, will not bring about a similar dissen- sion between the two grt nations. This inoffensive, endeven amicable attitude of England towards the republic of 24th February, prevented at once all posal- bility of a coalition of the continent against us, This Reve time for reflection to Eurepe—time for reflection to France hereelf.

From the ocr ne efoto da Philipy all the attempts’ of France on Spal® “va | provght ruin cn owr diplomacy. Our treaties, our al- | lances, our armies, have always come back to usin | ta: or out to pieces. Spain is not the road to the frandeur of France; she cangive us no.id on the seas, singe abe his Ou]y Dire rates ef Cortbngens; she m diouaated frigates a ; Balerdifhlus no auxiliaries by land, for it ie never on the ride of the Pyrenees that the existence of France can be threatened. Speaking in » diplomatic sense, we cannot, and we ought not, to see in her but one sole action—the action of a friendly country; but we ought not to mix ourselves up with her government or her internal factions. Every other diplomacy in Spain is a deception, where much may be lost and nothing gained; and a useless and dangerous occasion of cool Dess and rival influences with England. Would you have the proof that this diplomacy is the best foran influence? If you would, look at what has passed. I instructed our agents in Spain to pursue the policy I have adverted to. I recommended them not to mix themrelves up with any intrigues in Spain, and to atandon affairs to themselves. What has been the re- sult?) Why, that at the end of three months England has lort there all the ground she thought sbe had gain- ed, and that, spite the dynastic aympathies which de- clared theméelves at first against the republic, the favor cf the government and the nation has returned of itself, as a matter of justice, to confidence and good relations with us. I now come to Italy. Italy was, after the 24th of February,a question for us, not role: ly of theoretic diplomacy; it was an urgent question, an immediate question of decision and action. If you do not give us credit for the skill of our conduct of rs during the provisional governmont, do justice at least to the power of the revolution of February. Do net forget that after the revolution of February ali italy was ensinved or occupied, and that now, thanks to its efforts and your attitude, which was an act of good sense, almost all Italy is free; that is, that twenty-six millions of men are now allied with you. Ought we, cn the morrow of the revolution, to have prematurely crosred the Alps, and in our own name have attacked the Austrians in Italy? Do not forget that the baso of all our policy was respect and friendship for Ger- many, and that an aggression soperson Land uncalled for on Austria, would have been construed asa gratul- tous aggression on all Germany bordering the Rhine, | and would have driven into the Russian alliance all northern Germany, which our policy and the policy of pence would heve kept asunder. No, we did not thus ecnsider the question; we did not induce Charles Albert to make war on Austria; the enthusiasm of his subjects, the cry of Italy, his situation, the ambition of his councils, the personal ambition of glory perhaps tufficiently incited him without us. Tis inveterate personal alliance with Austrian absolutism could not prevail against the impulsion of all Italy. He declared war. krom the day when he advanced, we said boldly —wersidat the tribune—what you yourselves have svid—Itely shall be free. We said of two things, one: either Charles Albert shall triamph alone, with the | soppert of other Italians, over Radetski, and then Italy will owe to herself her liberty, or Charles Albert ‘will eubmit. and the independence of his provinces in Northern Italy will be seriously menaced by the Aus- trians, and then we will interfere, as of right, for the anfety of France, and the existing nationalities. And it was on that account that the Minister for Foreign Affairs of the provisional government required, as the first act of his peaceful diplomacy, the formation of a division of 52000 men at the foot ofthe Alps. You will not require that I should enter into details on our actual porition, any indiscretion as to which might compromise the country. Italy ehall be freo, or France will herself partake the dangers; that HT can be permitted to ray at this moment. One word, however, in reply to a reproach which cut me to the rtin the rpeech of M. Napoleon Bonaparte. He aid, “The republic bas no policy—no foreign diploma- cy. I prefer my bad policy to no policy at all. There are political follies which are glorious, which sometimes: save the people. or. at least, do honor tothe peor whom they destroy.” He referred. to justify his declara- tion, to the fourteen armies of the convention, and the eat wars of that heroie epoch of crisis and of glory. jut he bas forgotten one thing—that in the midst of ite energics, the convention was full of wisdom and mederation towards those nations and governments which did not attack France; that it had and pre- served allies, not only amongst the republics but lute sovereigns; that it did not carry war into coun- tries gratuitously which had d it peace that its policy of fourteen armies was not poliey of choice, but of necessity and despair; and that in this derpatr and necessity alone, did the con- vention find, relying on the nation, the energy to raise there fourteen armies, and to bring about the triumph of the republic and French nationality. It was not the diplomacy of the convention, it wasits heroirm, it was the desperate heroism of the country. We are not in the same circumstances, thanks to the wisdom of that very policy you accuse, and if we should be we should find the same energy and the same sup- ort from the nation. As tothe diplomacy of Napo- on. }am an admirer of all connected with him but two things—his idea of legislative nization at home, and bis ‘a lomacy abroad. As to his legislative idea, it was onlya sublime but unintelligent reaction, in my opinion, against the democratic party, that ho would regulate and restrain, but not destroy.

It will immediotely throw a considerable damp on the commercial circles connected with the north of Europe, and tend much to retard the restora- tion of confidence generally, Soon after the commencement of business on the Stock Exchange this morning, some considerable sales of stock for pee d were effected, which has thrown damp on the market not anticipated from .the appear- ance of things at the opening. Consols were first done at 87% for account, since which they have been done at Sijg, and are now quoted 87%.

Batley hung | heavily, but was net offered lower. Fine oats were at former rates; inferior foreign easier to buy. Beans and peas were neglected ; but Indian corn was in request. Liverroot Corton Manxer, July 21.—Last week we had to report an active and rather rising cotton market, with more confidence shown, and at somewhat ad- vanced prices. This continued till Monday, followed up by improved accounts on Tuesday from Manch and the neighborhood, where things were taking a brighter and more encouraging aspect. Since then, owing in some measure to the disturbed state of thin in Ireland, (which, however, we look to as being speedi- ly rettled,) the buoyancy of our mark a8 Seckined, and we now clo-e the week without change in our quo- tations, excepting, perhaps, in the middling descrip- tions, which, being now in general demand, are slight- ly dearer; Mobile 37d, and Orleans at 4d. In other descriptions we bave no change to notice. 600 Ameri- can and 150 Surat have been taken on speculation, and 4160 American, 230 Surat, and 100 Pernam for export.

The recent re- duction has caused purchases to be made to a con- siderable extent; the stocks on hand are very light; a decided improvement has taken place in the manu- facturing districts, which must shortly cause an in- creased consumption. The harvest prospects are favorable, and money is abundant. Any considerable advance in price seems at present untenable, and would be generablly discountenanced by the trade, but it is the general opinion that prices have seen their lowest, and that a ual improvement will take place. at all times uncertain, from the operations tors, remains without much re again in demand at £6to £6 108 per ton; merchant bar delivered in W: at £0 per ton.

THE VERY LATEST NEWS RECEIVED BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH AND SPECIAL EXPRESS AT LIVERPOOL, At the Moment of the Departure of the AMERICA, FOR THE MWHW YORE HERALD. Most Important from Ireland, Dus, Friday night, July 21. We are almost in a state of siege in this city To-day a proclamation was issued by the Lord Lieu- tenant jor both the county and city of Dublin, calling upon all persons to deposit and leave at the respective police etations, on or before the 25th of July inst., all guns, pistols, and other fire arms, and all swords, cutlesses, pikes, and bayonets, and all gunpowder and ammunition, on pain, if convicted, of being imprisoned two years, with or without hard labor. The police, who are armed with cutlas3es, took upanumber of pikes and guns to-day throughout the city. An application having been made to Indge Perrin, presiding at the Tyrone assizes, to admit Mr. John Martin to bail, he refused the same, and strongly censured the conduct of the government for allowing Mr. Martin the privilege of writing from Newgate to the Felon. The Nation make its appearance again to-mor} row. Its leaders are, as usual, to the point, and equafy spicy as to ‘*felony.” Mr. C.G. Duffy, from his cell in Newgate, furnished an article headed “Casus Belli,” in which he reviews the course adopted by the government for suppressing” the demand for repeal, and observes, “it is@ solemn and terrible responsibility to advise a nation to peril its hopes on the battle-field; to permit them to fall to pieces by the fatal cry rot of inaction; to see them lost, without honor or sympathy, or the chance ofredemption—lost by some fatal cowardice or incapacity ; that is the hell in which there is no consolation.” Referring to the revolutions whick have taken place in this memorable year of 1848, and glancing at their results, Mr. Duffy proceeds:— “At length, with cleardeliberation and full know- ledge of all the perils and all the responsibility, but with assured faith in God’s providence, and the justice of our course, we bid England choose speedily between concession an@the sword. We formally proclaimed a war of independence, and the time now is, when that pledge must be promptly fulfilled, or as formally dishonored.” The article concludes by expressing a wish for transportation, rather than live in Ireland, if the Club be supine in the hour of action, and are defeated by the mi- litary power of England. The Nation also continues its practical instruc- tions in military aflairs, and among other direc- tions explains how polished arms ‘are to be pre- seved in a damp or under ground position; sugges- tions as to window grenades; how to break down abridge or rebuild one, and how to blow upa bridge; with practical remarks on gunnery. , p A letter from Waterford states that that city is greatly excited by the proclamation issued against it, the notices are torn down as soon asput up. Mr. Meagher has issued a counter proclamation, in which he calls upon his fellow citizens to imi- tate the men of Limenck and Tipperary; to be firm and steady, and to organize calmly, speedily, and fearlessly. Mr. Meagher, in mockery of the castle proclamation, put at the foot of his addres: “God save the people.” The Irish Felon had not made its appearance. We have received the returns of the Bank of France this morning, but they do not possess any new feature of interest. The city of Paris wag tranquil. Scotiand, We have received a letter from Greenock, dated July 20, which states that the town clerk there, Johnston Gray, Esq., was deliberately shot im the street that afternoon by an auctioneer, of the- name of Thomson. Fortunately, Mr. Gray 1s said not to be mortally wounded. Dundee letters speak more favorably of trade at that port. A fair amount of business was doing in flax, yarns, and linens. The Latest from the Continent. Lonpon, Saturday, July 22, 1848. We have received advices from Paris dated yes- terday evening. They state that the city was tranquil, and that the National Assembly would authorize, in a few days, the Government to con- tract a loan, to a certain extent The amount is not specified. The committee of the South American bond- holders have received a letter from Lord Palmers- ton, stating tha: Mr. Adams, the Charge d’Af- faires, has given his promise to have their claims adjusted. The Havre cotton market was pretty brisk. At Amsterdam, the Bourse was dull and languid, and prices rather declining, Accounts trom Palermo state that the Duke of Genoa had been elected. Rumors are again in circulation that the Dutch have refused to ratify the terms of the armistiee between Germany and Denmark. The British Parilament, MOUSE OF COMMONS. Lonpon, Saturday, July 22—12} o’clock. Lord John Russell is now addressing the House, onfleave to bring in a bill for the arrest of al persons supposed to be disaffected towards the crown and government. His speech, so far, i loudly cheered by a pretty full House. In the House of Lords, lust night, after Lord’ Glengal had brought his observations to a close, he was followed by Lord Brougham ; after which, Lord Lansdowne replied. He stated that he was obliged to Lord Glengal for affording him the op- portunity to state to the House what the Govetn- ment had done in Ireland, and what they intended further to do; and then repeated, in substance, the words of Lord John Russell’s motion. He afterwards stated, that although the government had positive notice of an intended’ insurrection in that country, he trusted that by firmness and vigilance 1t would at once be put down. Referring to the parish priests, he stated that although some of them were deeply mixed’ up in the elubs and confederations, yet, on the whole, they were friendly to the cause of order, and the government had derived valuable support from them. \ ‘The Latest Market Reports, Livenvoot Cony Manxnt, July 22,-The market
