Phat is to Become of France?—Movements of the ‘Tree Fumilies— Manifesto of the Cownt de Cham- bord—Intentions of Lowis Napoleon— Car 4, dature of the Prince de Joinville—The F dese tical Trouble im Sardinia—- The Schleswig War, Se. £¢- We are once more on the ee of great events in Europe, or, at least, @ crisi‘, is gradually approach- ing, the symptoms beivyg elearly evident to every elose observer Of tae political horizon. In 1852, Louis Napoleons functions, as President of the | French Revablie, cease, and he must enter the lists egain asa candidate for that dignity. Such were the terms of his election en the 10th Decem- ber, 1848. It is quite clear, however, that he will | not wait till then; and that, notwithstanding his recent declaration ‘that he will not attempt a #18 Brumaire,’ ” or, to use his own words, that he will not risk on a coup de maim that powerful au- thority which is at the present time acknow- ledged to be so useful to the secunty of France* and which was conferred upon him by six million votes,” he will, nevertheless, attempt something of the sort before the expiration of his functions, whilst his influence is still considerable. The French National or Legislative Assembly meets agam next morth; and a message will then be presented by the President of the Republic, in which the revision of the constitution will be re- commended, and a prolongation of his own powers as President, or otherwise, demanded. Should this not succeed, he will make an appeal to the | people His chief opponent is the Count de Chambord, alias Duke of Bordeaux, alias Henry V. This Prince, who had engaged the sympathies of a large portion of the French nation, has cut away the grass beneath his own feet, to a great extent, by the publication of a manifesto, (issued by M. | Larochejaquelin,) in which he claims the crown aan hereditary rght, even should the people be oppored to it. “This step cannot be justitied, and has added greatly to the chances of Louis Napo- leon. Vox popult, vox Det, is a proverb which, in France, has been written in blood and recorded in ni And yet, after this declaration of con- tempt for the voice of the people, the Duke of Bor- deaux also announces that he will appeal to that body to restere him to the throne of his ancestors. He has the old nobility, the priesteraft, and ro- mance on his side; but we live now in practieal times, not in the illusions of the past. Not- withstanding the noble lines of Lamartine on Heary V.i— Il est né, Venfamt du miracle! Heritier du sang d’un martyr, Ilest ne d'un tardif oracle, Ii est ve d'un dernier soupir! Aux accents du bronze qui tonue La France o'éyeille, et o tonne Du bruit que le mort a porte Jeux du sort! merveilleo divines! is true, that scarcely one emigrant in America has not his portion of just blame in causing the misfor- tune of his country. Thirty years have rolled on, and during that long period, energies, toil, study and resources, in their most extensive national sig- nification, have been uselessly expended in the most ideal agitations. Philosophy could not assert her might in the vast domain of this colossal jabyrinth, that reason could not fathom, argument convince, or discussion explain. It wasunderstood as ‘ Repeal Agitation,” ** Alliances,” and a host of other convenient phrases. contains in itself the elements of destruction, and 80 each worked out its destiny and died, as each deserved. Famine and pestilence succeeded, and these, perhaps, were, greater blessings than “ agi- tations.” Coming from the hands of omnipotence, they might be looked upon as the rectifying princi ples, out of which a new system of national condaet might arise, and on the basis of which could be raised a superstructure, honest in ite design, wise ia its operations, and salutary in its influences. But of this I fear. From out ow evils good could come, but will it—do, or may we hope for it? To argue on the subject would be useless; to portray cur social position might be valuable. Historians and travellers have explained that system to be | corrupt, And so itis. [is corruption and debase- | ment the natural consequences of a national neg- | lect; the refusal to understand or dist ge recip rocal duties. Communism, in its most revolting espect, reigned theoretically in the minds of the people, and its maturity into practice was only pre- | vented by the vigorous measures of a liberal consti- tutional government. , But all that is with the past, and from it we can only learn wisdom. lts smouidering ruins send orth the broken wreeth ef a smoky vision, deceit- | fully conjured up to delude and humbug the dreamy | minds of an ever over-credulous people. And yet even from that convulsive mass of broken faith and | corrupt falsehood, there has arisen an atom of its duplicity, hoping for gain, and sure of impunity, in its fentastic pantomame. However, for the na- | tional credit sake, 1 must state that the atom is re- | ducing, and certainly will diminish by degrees, until it vanishes into thin air, But though it may lack support here, and be understood, with all its hollow pretensions, yet, at your side of the world, £0 much perspicuity as to its nature and design may net be found to exist, and the voice of “Burgh Quay” may consequently find an echo in the hearts, and a response from out the pockets of the Irish in America. But you, | am sure, will not be found slow in exposing the chicanery and dis- Ainsi fleurit eur ses ruines Un lis que lorage a plaute.

Every writer of an ‘article is now compelled by law to put his name to It; the consequence is, that if man expresses censure of the acts of the “power being,” he is either rained or arrested. It seems extraordinary that men like Emile de Girar- | dio, Cormenier, (Timon) Lemoine, &e., should submit to this. He that sows the wind will reap the whiriwicd. Meantime, the President is flattering the army; reviews (with segars and champagne for the men) and military fétes, are the order of the day The Orleanists, or the party of the young Count de Paris, remain quiet. pes entente between them and the legitimists has been much spoken of, but wisnotsincere. The Prince de Jomville is also spoken of as likely to come forward asa candidate | for the Presidency. In subsequent letters 1 will give you a faithtel account of the progress and chances of these diflerent parties, unbiassed in tuvor of either faction, an impartial and close ob- server of the great game played upon the chess board of Europe. I may add that Louis Napoleon is hard up for | monry; and that the visit of M. de Persigny to London was connected with that subject. if we turn from France, southwards, the demon of diecord is abroad there, also, and has assumed an aicheipiscopal drese—the better to do his work of mischief. M. Franzoni, archbishop of Turin, (capital o Serdunia,) refused to minister or allow to be minis- tered, from political enmity, the last sacraments to a dying man, the late minister M. de Santa Rosa This wes a violation of the law of the land—an abvse of ecclesiastical power, egainst which a epectal clause exists in the pensl code. In virtue of that clause, th ‘chbishop was arrested, hauled over to the Court of Appeal, under whose jurisdic- tion it fell, and he was imprisoned in the fortress of Fenestteila. M. Pinelli was sent on a special micsion to Rome to explain this to Pius IX, who was willing to listen to reason, but the coaclave of cardinals regarded it as an attack upon the privi- jJeges of the church; and the consequence ia, that the court of Rome refused to listen to overtares until the archbishop should have been released. ‘The Court of Appeal, meantime, has passed sen'ence upon the archbishop, who is con- demned to banishment from the Sardinian ter- ritory, and deprived of his see. The effect of this sentence at Rome, we shall learn by next mail, Another (urged doubtless by the priesteraft of Rome,) Mayongin, the Archbishop of Cagliari, capital of the island of Sardinia, refused to comply with a request of the government to give an ac nt how his revenues for charitable purposes had been ex- pended.

The early ! omg potatoe haa not escaped the blight; aud the jate sown ones are coming from the ground quite stumed in growth, and excessively deficient in | quantity. Indeed, an half crop would be an over sanguine hope to have realized, as regards that es- culent. But even so, the average, in a propor- | tenal ration, is more than that of former years, | when one considers the immense tide of emi- gration that is now wafting at every ebb | such large one of emigrants as the daily | journals record are leaving the various ports for America. For my own part, I must say that 1 greatly regret the fact, because 1 cun perceive that 1 this country there is an abundance of material to constitute, if properly worked, a large empori- um of national prosperity. llowever, as things stand at present, | can’t hope much for a revolution in our social churacter and policy. The wheaten crop of this year is sadly deticient, and the grain not at all good. On ground which gave tea and fourteen bushels to the acre in former years, we have not more than three, and at most six bushels | this year. The price, however is not high, even under the pressure cf a deficiency, the highest fi- | gure up to this being Ls. per stone of M4 lbs. Oats | and barley have produced well this year, and in ge- neral the green crops have turned out fairly. ‘The gone flax has been successfully extended in ireland this year, and though its culture hae been narrowed as yel, owing to ioca! prejudices or want of means, yet, I'm huppy to assure you thet I anti- cipate next year’s crop will be extensive. ’Tis a most valuable one, and cannot fail to better the condition of the country. By degrees the wisdom of the Almighty is being vindicated, and each new day is throwing light upon and explaine ing our past sufferings, from out of which, I doubt not, will arise the redeeming spirit of our destiny. Asa first step towards a@ happy consummatoa, much and gerious attention is being turned towards the development of Irieh resources, and, I’m happy to state, wiih much success—i.¢e. I may meatioa that of Irish peat. At Robertstown, County Kil- dare, the “Amelioration Society” have turaed ca- ital in that direction. They have erected a regu- jar establishment there for the manufactare of peat, and the consequence is that the dreary moor and wild bog have been turned into e California. Men, women, and children, are assuming a comfortable position under the influence of constant employ- ment and remunerative wages, Whilst the company ore gaining money. It is caleulated that 300 t\5 of charcoal per week will pe manufactarcd wo soon as the buildings are completed. The company are at present supplying the President of France with a large quantity, and over 60 tons have been lately exported to thet country, whilst the orders from Eugiand, received by them, amount to over ten th nd pounds. See what energy and capitel will do. This company, besides employing all for miles round, have alee taken one hundred paupers from out the Naas union, and these are now living in comfort and independence by their labor, fulfilling the great fiat of nature, instead of wither- ing in decline, or sweltering iv ilieness in a poor house.” In Dublin, also, the “Lard of Irish Man- vfacture”’ is realizing much practical good. The proceedings of the Board have given a stimulus to native industry in the provinces, and an in- crease of employment in the various departments of Irish menulactures—bianketa, tweeds, ete the consequence of the large orders received by that bedy. And our linen trade, also, is assuming a very steady aspect; the accounts received from the United States render a fall, good trade ia Lrish linens os certain. | feel that etl this is very cheer- ing, but I alse cannot conceal from myself Uthat it is all very reetricted. If we could have « systematic revolution, through ell Ireland, in our social con- duct—if we could realize the happy dream of an extensive and general working of our natural re- sources, and an individual effort to promote the national ivterest by contributing singly, as well as collectively, to have these resources developed, then all might hope to see ell Ireland happy. i had intended to have written more at length in re- ference to these resources, but muck fear that space will net permit; and hence | prudently defer to another letter a more general disquisition on the subject. But before concluding, it may not be amiss to remark what I intend dwelimg more largely upon in a fature lette hat it would be well worth the attention of the friends of Ireland in America to consider ae to the utility of forming 4 corupany forthe working of some of the particular resources of Ireland. If they were to do this, it would do more service to the lend of their love then all the money they could contribute for cen- tories to brawling agitators or impracticable aeso- cigtions.

The Evening Post has a long article on the addresa, and comments severely on the con- duet of the Bishops for their opposing such useful inetitutions. The Dublin Evening Mail of the 20;h inst , statee that there was only a majority of one for condemning the colleges, and that arose trom the fact of Dr French, the Bishop of Kilmac- duegh, whose age and ill health prevented his at- tendance at this Synod, having placed his proxy ia the bande of Dr. MeHaie, and that Dr. Metlate placed the trust in the h of one of his own” creetores, who would at bidding, have vowed thet the moon was made of green chee: inferior ph The division emong the ghostly fathe: lege question Ty ~ 6) convince ted “Catholic unity.

No sooner did she hear this than her project was immediately formed. The old man, as we have said, was govern: the’Pasha’s household, and, as sueh, oceu @ sumptuous apartment, to which a bath room was attached for his private use; it was here that his mistress sought him out. The eunuch was attended by two slaves; fevada mountains, and the first house which the overland emigrant comes to on the Pacific side of the eternal snow-covered mountains, It would grieve you to the heart to see the poor starved émi- grants arriving across those mountains from the plane, Shoneane " ls of them revere Gags tie meer, ings U er are indescribable. 1 wil you ona inadeee out of a thousand.

The eunuch was feeble, and, taken by surprise, could offer but little resistance. He struggled in vain; his assassin con- tinued to draw the fatal noose tighter and tighter still, and as she redoubled her efforts she exclaimed with the of a fury, “Ah! you wanted to know all—you shali know more than you bargained for! You sought for light, did you ? ‘here’s eternal darkness for you! Now write to your master! write, old fool!” At the vociferations of the assas~ tin, and the groans of the victim, one of the slaves returned into the apartment, and at the sight of the horrible scene, rushed out and began crying all over the house. ‘The khanum (mistress of the house) is murdering—the khanwm is strangling the eu- nuch!” A scene of general confusion ensued. Some of the slaves rushed, terror struck, isto the street, repeating one after the other, “The khasum is murdering! the khanwm is murdering!” Others hastened to the bath room, and only reached it as the old eunuch, overpowered, was stretched out tion, and would be all summer, as very few-of the emigrants brought sificien! rovinans. lof course gave them a good feed.

FRENC 7 CurL DEE, ber 28, 1860 ARIS, Septem! 5 For the last half hour I have been from my window on a lively group of rosy-c! chil- dren. There they are still playing at ‘all hande. round” about a pile of leaves, which the winde off an one autumn heve loosened from the boughs of” the tall chestnut trees of the garden. Now and then they break the circle, and, with merry laugh-- ter, throw over each other the red, brown, russet and wee remeis mol Se Cry 1s beautiful foli- - One can almost they are singing those dear little stanzas used on atmail er cocasiens by oury young people in broad-brimmed horn hats and ittle aprons, and commemorative of the rare merits of ‘*sweat beans and barley corn.” The illusion: would be complete, were not the flashing black eyes so much more numerous here than the soft blue. What animation of countenance! what lightness and grace of motion !*what de! of feature! Too much delicacy perhaps; we it be better pleased if the were a little more robust and vigorous. Poorfellowa! It is not their fault, for they have not reached their present young state of sevelopeniaas except by passing: through the hardest trials, Their growth has been a veritable progress under difficulties. Why should sot I here record their sorrows, and let the mothers in America hear their cries, 90 con~ stant but usavailing ? For the first few moaths of his existence the French baby is a close prisoner: arms are pinned down cloge to his sides, an? his legs deprived of all liberty of movement. H+ is literally rolled up as a bundle. The Indian pa- pooet wrapped up ina blanket and strapped to a rd, is not more motionless. Set him on end and steady him well; he stands np as stiffly as an old person. It makes little difference, for that matter, whether you set him on his head or his feet, for, in rigidity, he resembles the Egyptian mummy. At hfs birth, he bids a tearful adieu to the pleasures, so highly prized by unsweddled babies, of working with his hands ‘and feet, put- ting himself in the attitude of a Lilliputian boxer. stretching and kicking out, and rejoicing in hie half consciousness of newly-acquired liberty. He is condemned to rest for some time a stock-stilt observer of the world on which he has entered. Some two hundred little fellows thas bandaged up, may be seen in the large hall of the foundli ospital: from thirty to forty of them laid paralle: to each other on the sloping bed before the fire, locking like e@ many billets of wood, ali ticketed: at one end, and protesting in their manner against so stif] a reception. Ah, if this were their only complaint! But no, all the necessary arrangements for getting rid of them have long been made by their pareats. They are treated as wowelcome visiters, incumbraaces ona narrow fortune, intruders into a world al- ready over peopled; consumers and not producers. The property they have in common with the leect: is inconvenient and vexatious. Lnexorable fash- ion decided long ego that nature, in requiring @ mother to nurture ber own ofispring, has _beem guilty ofan egregious and vulgar blunder. What? sacrifice personal beauty and the pleasures of so- ciety to maternal afiection! Pure folly. Custom has sanctioned the decision of fashion, and now the portrees, the femme de chambre, the milliner, and the wives of the shoemaker, the tailor and the grocer, abandon their children as readily as the aristocratic beauties of the higher circles. The benevolent Society to Encourage Mothers to Nurse their own Children, with all its efforts through per- sonal influence and tracts, have not been able to arrest this custom. Ha; the children whose parents are rich enough to keep a nurse in the house! If she “hae been well selected and well supervised, she leaves them strong and healthy, having been, all things considered, no bad substitute for a selfish mother. But the vast majority of Paris infants are not 8> fortunate. A few days after their birth they are sent into the country, one, two, ten, fifteen, some- tumes as much as fifty leagues, and placed under the care of some peasant women, who, for a month- Z nd, agrees to return them in good order at e end of oue or two years. Such is the general- nese of this custom that a French Herod, who should wich to eluy all the children ia this capital * two years old and under,” would tind few victims, except the children of persons too poor to put them, out to nuree, and too aflectionate to send them to the hospital. I have seen somewhere in a French author an eloquent philippic be poe the custom ie @ certain nation of savages, of patting to death the old and feeble among them; bat I have seen no. evidence that the sense of humanity has beer. deeply wounded by the custom of deserting infaats, #0 general in this country. Aud yet such a customs is to us inexplicable on any koowna theory of hu- man nature. Can we conceive of a mother gazing with a joy, which makes her heart palpitate, on the vac the: ntl cones h his alabaster arma iolded on his little breast, and his lips, “ jike two rod rosas on a xtosk, x “Which, in their summer beauty, kissed each other. and, the next instant, sending him to wither in the fetid atmosphere of some country hut ? But he is seat, the parents miking many resola- tions about going out frequently and surprising the nurse. But the read is long and tine precious ; after a little whilé this vigilance is relaxed, and’ long months glide way between the vizits. The nurse has her own Giiuire to attend to; so she ban- dages the child up from heed to foot in the approve » draws the curtains atgund the cradle, which she pushes up ia a dark corfér, and sallies forth to visit the neighbors or to labor in the ffelds. He may strengthen his lungs by Srying of sleep, as he may choose, until her return. The same nurse: has not unfrequently four or five infants uader her care at the same timé, managing to eke out misera- bly the deficiency in their nourishment with soup, pap, end mashed potatoes. When the mother ew months afterwards, to see her eherub- boy, with the dimples on his plamp litle she does not recognise him in the wi faced creature, with livid marke under his eyes, and long thin bluish fingers, which is presented to her. Then comes a flood of bitter tears, forced out by the stingings of remorse; this is followed by @ severe rating of the negligent nurse,who does not fail to retorton the indifferent mother. The scene closes by the father’s taking the child to- seme other nurse, and visiting it more here ames A ‘The child often falls @ victim to the ruggedaess of his treatment: the mortality among children at nurse rune up to a fearful ratio. But imagine the child to have reached the age when custom requires his return to the house of parents, that is to say, of one or twe years.
