Lord De Blaquiere Expired On The 10th In...
Lord de Blaquiere expired on the 10 th instant , at Beulah-hill , near Norwood , Surrey , aged seventy-three . The deceased nobleman , William de Blaqmere in the peerage of Ireland , succeeded his brother in the title , m 1844 , having been previously known as General de . Blaquiere . The deceased entered the service as Ensign , in the August of 1791 . In 1813 he became Major-General ; in 1825 Lieutenant-General ; m 18 $ l full General . Daring his career , the noble lord saw some rough service . He took part in affairs in 1811 the de
America and in the West Indies . In - ceased married the daughter of the first Marquis of Townshend , by whom he leaves , with other issue , a son , John , born in 1812 , a Captain in the Third West India Foot , who succeeds to the title and estates , which latter are situate in the counties of Westmeath and Londonderry . This gentleman -very recently purchased the celebrated American yacht . This family is descended from John de Blaquiere , a native of France , who settled in London on the revocation of the Edict of Nantes . His son became chief secretary for Ireland in 1772 , and received his peerage shortly before the Union .
Beaten By Only Seven, The New French Min...
Beaten by only seven , the new French Ministry may be considered really victorious . There is no new fact to add to that significant despatch , by " Submarine Telegraph , " which is elsewhere . Of course , our readers know that the main support of M . Bonaparte ' s Ministry comes from the Left . Emile de Grirardin has prevailed ; and although Michel ( de Bourges ) does not spare Louis Napoleon , his speech frankly supported the ministerial project .
Hence we have the Daily News saying this morning that " the great object must come to be the consolidation of the republic ; " the Times questioning whether " the law is worth so dangerous a contest , " and suggesting a " compromise "; the Chronicle announcing that " the Law of the 31 st of May is stricken to death ; " and the Post opining that the " possibilities of a peaceful solution" are now " decidedly" greater .
The Augshurgh Gazette of the 9 th says that the re-election of Louis Napoleon is supported by Austria , Prussia , and Russia , who are at the same time endeavouring to persuade the Prince de Joinville to withdraw from his candidature . " Leopold Frederick , by God's grace , high and mighty reigning Duke of Anhault , Duke Gothen , Duke of Saxony , Fugem , and Westphalia , Count of Askania , and Lord of Zerbst , Bcrnberg , and Grobzig , " has just issued a proclamation abolishing on his sole high and mighty authority the constitution of the duchies over which he is so grand a potentate . The population of these duchies is about the same as that of Cologne—under 100 , 000 souls . Yet " Leopold , " & c , comes forward as the organ of the Dead Diet of Frankfort , which persists in believing itself alive .
The Venice Gazette states that Eugene Curii , of Venice , convicted of having purchased a share in Mazzini ' s loan , without having declared the fact to the authorities , was sentenced to death for high treason . Angelo Giacomelli , of Trevisa , having received an anonymous letter from Turin , containing a plan for appointing a committee for effecting a general revolution , which letter he destroyed without communicating it to the authorities , wiih condemned to imprisonment for ten years . Field-Marshal ltadetzky " had been pleased" to commute the sentence of Curii to eight , and that of Giucomclli to five years' imprisonment .
The Milan official Gazette , of tho 8 th instant , nnnounces thut Giovani ( Jrioli , an ecclesiastic attached to the paritth church of Cere . se , having been legally convicted of seducing Austrian soldiers from their allegiance ; by means of peiHunnion and bribery , and of having in his possession 18 copies of a revolutionary pimriphlot , dated last December , and tending to overthrow the Government of the Kinpe : < r of Austria in Italy , was nentcuccd to death , and executed on tlu ; 4 th instant .
Those are not the only , nor even the least , atrocities of Itadetzky . A young bookseller of Como , n . jned Louis DoUe . iio , was executed at Venice ; oh th > lltb of October , for being ia ceunmunicntinn with mi oflicial printer in Switzerland . The l ' roarcsso declares , that there- was the best evidence that DottcBio was even innocent of this crime . It in Htuted that General (' avnignne . in about to be ; married ( o Maele > inoiHflIo Oelier , tlu ; eiaiigliter of the bunker of that name ; . Tho lady huts , it i » aaid , a wedding portion of one million of francH . The Court e > f Appeal of Ni « me « has just trieel Rose Tuminier anew , declured l » er guilty , and condemned her bix mouth * ' imprisonment , 600 f . flue , and the ooBts .

There Is Nothing So Revolutionary, Becau...
There is nothing so revolutionary , because there is nothing so -unnatural and convulsive , as the strain to keep things fixed when all the world is by the very law of its creation in eternal progress . —Da . Arnold .
The Situation. Public Opinion,—And A Pub...
THE SITUATION . Public opinion , —and a public opinion of the right sort , meaning what it says , —is proving too strong for counter-influences . The Government , in the person of Lord Palmerston , is obliged to profess gratification at being backed by the people , — backed by the people which is pushing it on in a manner unknown to recent statesmanship . The Times , which has taken the lead in attacking Kossuth after a fashion that must have encouraged the hearts of Austrian stockjobbers and financiers , is compelled to come forth with a denunciation of the military coercion that Austria has introduced into its operations of the money market . It is not at all too soon to correct the erroneous
and dangerous impression which the attitude of onr official people and the Leading Journal was calculated to create . We have already pointed out the effect of President Bonaparte's Message on the relations of England and America : — «« Our relations with Spain , " says the President , * ' are satisfactory , and give us cause to hope for a speedy and definitive regulation of the dispute respecting the frontier of the Pyrenees .
" We have eagerly seized the opportunity to furnish Spain with a proof of the sincerity of our relations , by joining England in offering the Cabinet of Madrid the assistance of our naval forces to repulse the late audacious attack against Cuba . Iiesides , our Minister at " Washington has been instructed amicably to support the reclamations of the Court of Madrid , and the justice of these reclamations has been most loyally recognized by the Federal Government . "
We learn on authority , which we know to be worthy of perfect trust , that , probably for his own purposes , Louis Napoleon has exaggerated the effect of Lord Palmerston's communication . It is possible that Lord Palmerston may have written an indiscreet letter ; we are not in a position to deny that he has done so ; but we are inclined to believe that he elid not take up a position so irretrievable as the Prince President , for his own purposes no doubt , would have his Austrian and Russian patrons believe . We are glad to retain this conviction ;
because our apprehension that the President ' s Message would provoke a feeling of indignation and rage in the United States is confirmed by those whose judgment must be received as the highest possible authority . The impulsive Republicans will be all ablaze against " France" and "England . " Luckily , however , the Message will be accompanied across the Atlantic , or speedily followed , by an explanation of the purpose which is understood to have actuated the French protege" of Russia .
We have previously explain eel that the Trench President was expected to make this demonstration against the United States on Cuban ground , as a means of driving Knglanel into hostility with the American Republic . Independently of questions concerning the Ke > vereign possession of Cuba , the mere fact of placing a fleet oil" the shores of that islanel would be regarded by the United States , whatever its real purpose might be , as a
proceeding directed against the commerce of the Mississippi . Whatever might be the opinion in Washington as te > the propriety of retaining Culm te > Spain , or other wise , but one opinion would animate the people of the United States as te > the utter impossibility e > f suffering an European fleet to maintain that petition . Whatever might bo the peilitieal relations of the powers sending out that fleet , the J * e > ople of tho Union would me ) vc , as one man , te > elrive it oft * . The
Americans e > f all parties at present , we are convinced , woulel be very much chagrincel at acting against England . Against oflieial " France " they have no objection to act ; inelceel , they would be tempted by tho belief , that the destruction of the French fleet woulel be a holiday jpabtime to the powerful navy of the Young Republic . " France , "
therefore is to be victimized , in order that the United States may be drawn out against the interes ? of the real People of France and . the PeoX « f Europe-in order that" England' * may be pCed against the interest of its own People , in antagonism to the United States-in order that RmSTS Prussia may pursue their machinations undiverted by the power of the French people , of the English nation , or the American Republic : that is the bare faced scheme !
We have no fear , however , that the people of America , or of England , will be baffled in their desires for acting together in the great movement of Peoples against official intrigues and despots The bankrupt scheme of despotism at Vienna has become so gross a swindle , that the organ for op . posing Kossuth has been obliged to join as heartily as we have done in exposing the rottenness , the dishonesty , and the desperate footpad audacity of Austrian Finance . The English Foreign Minister is obliged to confess that the English people is arraying itself with a new interest , anew force , a new and imperious determination against despotic
machinations . The manner in wliich the English People has received the suggestion , that the American Republic should take its position in the defence of European liberty , side by side with the English nation , that their banners should be hoisted together , and their sons fight shoulder to shoulder , cannot be misunderstood by our brethren across the Atlantic ; they will not suffer the intrigues of miserable diplomatists and money-jobbers to divert them from so glorious an enterprise , and they cannot fail to share the pride which Englishmen felt when the Honourable Robert John Walker proclaimed the desire of his countrymen .
It is now more than five years since that gentleman , then Secretary of the Treasury , was invited to attend the Independence Dinner at Philadelphia on the 4 th of July , and that , being unable to attend , he sent the following toast : — " The world—it will be United States , with one commerce , one language , one confederacy . " At that time the people of
America were scarcely more prepared for so vast and exalted an idea than the people of our own country five months ago . But events have proceeded with a gigantic rapidity which has baffled the calculations of the most sanguine . Being assailed for his far forward aspiration , Mr . Walker vindicated it , by showing how much the abolition of Custom-houses would save in expenditure , in
interruptions of trade , and international estrangements . Kossuth has explained to the English people , how much free trade depends upon " the solidarity of the Peoples "—upon that true alliance of the Peoples which consists in the common maintenance of a common liberty . For the glorious sentiment enunciated by Robert John Walker m 1846 the American People is now prepared ; and if any doubts have lurked in the breasts of her keen-sighted sons , they must be dispelled by the prospect of that vast international alliance and eloquent
which is now opened by the lucid explanations conveyed to them with the presence , the voice , the outspoken intellect of Kossuth . lie has pledged himself to carry to the United btates that message of union among the Peoples which he has so potently enunciated in this country , inai he has the power to fulfil his pledge we all know . There can be no doubt that , with the generous anu bold intellects of America , the congenial nowei oi Kossuth , the congenial generosity of a Walker , wii exercise a far greater sway than the paltry intrigue and pitiful manoeuvres of Russia and Austria , acwnB h their wretched toolthe pageant 1 recent a wiciuicu iuuimi h i
