France. , The Rapture Between The Presid...
FRANCE . , The rapture between the President aad the Committee of Permanence , represented by General Changamier , continues to absorb public attention in Paris . The Committee hold meetings daily , and , it is said , intend to do so until the meeting of the Assembly . The President has maintained his ground , as far as the dismissal of General Neumayer , Changar-Eier ' s secondin command , is c oncerned . Neumayer has refused to accept the command at Nantes which was offered to him , and Changaraier has retaliated by puhlishine an important' order of the day , which declares open war with the Elysee . The order' udeliberateAll cries
« No armed troops can ; . are forbidden to the troops while under arms . The commander-in-chief calls the strict attention of the officers and soldiers under his command' to thcie laws of the military service . « Paris , Nov . 2 . ( Signed ) ' Changasnier . ' This expressive document wis communicated to the troops without consulting the Minister of War . It was only known at the Elysee on Sunday night ; and when the President was made aware both of the nature of the proclamation and of the circumstance of its having been read to the troops without any notice being given to the government , he turned pale with anger . A council of ministers was assembled at the Elysee on Sunday night , and another on Monday morning .
The' Debits' says , however , that , at a late hour on Sunday night , some reflecting men interfered and succeeded in putting an end to a misundsrstanding which might have led to incalculable consequences . It adds that the counsels of good sense and moderation hare prevailed , and that confidence has succeeded to insulting suspicion . The' Order * and'Assembler Nationale' insert at the head of their columns , by order of the Prefect o | Police , rectifications of articles designed to damage the government . The' Assemblee National * is called npsn to contradict its assertion , that cries
of ^ ve PEmpereur ! ' were hot only authorised but provoked at the review of Satory by the President . This statement is designated a falsehood , and the repetition of it would be a deliberate calumny . The 'Order * is called upon to contradict its report that the ministers gave in their resignations en Tuesday night , and were only retained- in office by the promotion of General Neumayer to a higher command . It is equally untrue , according to the Prefect of Police , that an intention existedon the part of the government of replacing General Forest by Colonel Alphonse . These are styled perfidious allegations .
The papers are filled with accounts of domiciliary visits and arrests which are taking place every day at Lyons , andin all the cities of Provence . The government papers continue to affirm that a monster conspiracy exists in the whole of the east and south of France . A despatch from the Ardeche , the'Times' says , states that the Prefect of that department , having received information that some Socialist leaders were attempting to constitute a secret society with a view to excite insurrection in the department , and that they were in the act of holding a meeting in the mountains , the Prefect ( who is the same active and
courageous person that arrested Soubeyran ) proceeded at once to the spot with a small detachment of gendarmes to arrest the parties . They arrived at the place of meeting , and arrested fonr or five persons . On their return from the mountains a number of peasants met them and effected a rescue . The gendarmes were only six in number ., The Prefect , however , took a reinforcement , and again set out / or the same spot , when the crowd that had rescued the prisoners fled into the mountains . At the date of the despatch the Prefect had not recovered the prisoners , but he announces his determination to persevere until they be given up or until they surrender .
The same paper has the following vindictive notice : —* Bathes , who , as you are aware , was confined at Donellens , has written to the Minister of the Interior , demanding imperatively to be transferred with his fellow-prisoners to Belleisle ; and two of his friends waited this day on the Minister , and supported the demand . The reason Barhes was not transferred to Belleisle was his state of health , and he was left under the milder regime of Donellens from motives of humanity . Barbes is , however , determined to be a martyr , and will be sent to Belleisle . This is the third time that the demand has been made . M . Earache has just written the order for his removal . '
The journal * La Reforme' is to reappear on the 10 th Inst . It was suppressed after Jnue , 1849 . It now appears nnder the patronage of ninety-six representatives of the Mountain . M . Ode , advocate of Uzes , and Procureur of the Republic under the Provisional government , was arrested a few days ago at Nimes , on the charge of having been concerned in the conspiracy at Lyons . A person named Carle , of Bagnols , was also arrested on the same charge . He had left Nimes by the diligence when the warrant arrived ; but the central commissary of police immediately went in pursuit of him and overtook the diligence at Connaox . While he was examining the list of passengers , which he made the conductor produce , Carle slipped quietly away , but he was observed and stopped . A search
subsequently made in his house at Bagnols resulted in the seizure of important papers and letters . In the department of the Basses-Alpes , Messrs . Langomasino , Sauve , and Rouvier have also been arrested in connexion with the same affair ; the second was a sub-commissaire of the Provisional government ; the third , President of the Workmen ' s Club . The 'MassagerduMidi' of Montpelier announces that doMteiliary visits had been made to the houses of M . Gervais , ex-Commissary-General of the Provisional government , M . Auriol , ex-editor of the 'Montagnard , ' and M . Boyer , ex-editor of the' Independant . ' The responsible editor of' La Mode , M . Voillet de St . PMIiberf , was fined 5007 . by . the Tribunal of Correctional Police , for not having deposited copies of that periodical at the parquet until after other copies had been sent to the Post-office .
A hollow peace has been patched up between Changaraier and the President , neither of whom found themselves , in a position to make open war upon each other . The Ministers , with one exception , threatened to resign , if the President dismissed Changaraier , as he wished to do , and the General who wished , in the event of his dismissal , ' to he entrusted by the assembly with the command of 60 , 000 men to watch over the Legislative body , found , at the last moment , that M . Duoin , the
President of the Assembly , hesitated , and could not he depended upon . On Monday , therefore , he visited the Elysee and , according to the ' Times , ' stated , formally , that his order of the day was not intended as a personal insult to the President . With this statement the latter expressed himself satisfied , and the General has since issued a second order which , even more pointedly , repeats bis opposition to the personal policy of the Buonapartists . It is as follows : — -
• By a decree of the President of the Republic , dated the 29 th of October , General Carrelet , commanding the 7 th military division , is called to the command of the 1 st , vice-General Neumayer , promoted to the superior command of the 14 th and I 5 th divisions . In communicating this arrangement to the troops , the General-in-Chief doubts not that General Carrelet will maintain in his division the spirit of order , discipline , and devotedness which has constituted the force of the Army of Paris , and that , following the example of his predecessor , he will secure ou every point the complete execution of the military regulations . ' The correspondent of the ' Times' continues his pretended revelations of Socialist plots and conspiracies , and -the consequent arrests made by the authorities . When it is known that these
statements all prpceed from the Lureau of M . Carlier , the Prefect of Police , our readers will understand what value to put upon them . The' Times' says : — / Among those arrested at Lyons is an intimate friend of the well-known Sobrier . Among his papers was found a long letter from a functionary who at this moment resides at a distance fr , ™ uyons , and declares himself the partisan of the Iho ilepubac . Important letters , addressed to a p rson now : n custod y , were intercepted on Thurs . day last , ^ othin ? can surpass the activity displayed by the public functionaries in the execution of their duty .
4 In the course of domiciliary visits made at Luc ( Var ) , papers of importance were discovered . They consisted of letters that passed between a Socialist chief of that place and a Pole who had been ap . pointed inspector of the Fonts et Ckaussees , but was dismissed , and then residing at Orleans . * Toulon is perfectly quiet ; some arrests have taken place there . When the police visited the house of a person named Mealy , they found him attempting to swallow a paper . One of the police grasped him by the throat and prevented him . The paper was found to contain a list of thirty-six persons deeply compromised the plot .

• Despatches from Marseilles announce -that confidence is completely .. restored there in consequence of the decisien artd energymanifeated by the government on the occasion of the : discovery of the conspiracy . . Axrescs . have been made and . important papers connected with itie conspiracy discoveredamongst other places , ' at Gap , Antibe , and Dragiiignan—all showing the existence of an extensive plan of revolution , in which Germans and Italians were also to join . At Draguignan an advocate of the name of Pastoret and an ; apothecary named Provengal were arrested . It was feared that . the arrest of the former would have been followed by disturbance there , but nothing of the kind has taken place .
GERMANY . BBSIGNATION OF THE PRUSSIAN PRIME MINISTER . ^ Berlin . —The resignation of Radowifz WAS flO « cepted by the King of Prussia on the 3 rd inst . The leaders of the opposition against the Prussian Minister of Foreign Affairs were Manteuffel , Brandenburg , Simons , Stockbauseu , and Rabe ; Ladenburg and Von der Heydt alone supporting him . The latter gentlemen sent in their resignations
simultaneously with General von Randowitz . The conferences at Vienna will now take place under the presidence of Austria as soon as they can possibly be assembled . By this step Prussia in the meanwhile succumbs to Austria , which has also interfered in a very highminded manner in the affairs of Schleswig Holstein , by ordering the immediate cessation of hostilities , and , iu case of non-compliance , threaten that : the execution of the orders shall be insured through the means of federal troops .
BNTBANCB OF THE BAVARIANS AND AU STBIAN 8 INTO . HESSE CASSEL . The Bavarian and Austrian troops , under . the command of Prince venTbura and Taxis , entered Hesse Cassel on ; the 1 st inst ., and took up quarters in the city of Hanau , at one o clock in the afternoon . Their force consisted of about 8 , 000 mem including an Austrian rifle battalion 1 , 000 strong . The Prince , baring passed his troops in review , in Hanau , ordered a large portion of them to march , in the afternoon , forward to Gelnhausen , where they took up quarters . 3 , 500 men remained quartered in Hanau .
A proclamation , issued by the ' commissary of the Bundestag , ' was posted up simultaneously with one from the Elector . ¦ The only act by which the people showed their feeling was that of tearing down these proclamations , in which he declares that these troops have , entered Hesse to maintain the constitution , as if the people wished to upset it . It is the old story of the wolf and the lamb . Another letter says : — ' To-day , at one ; p . m .,. a detachment of the 2 d division of the Bavarian army , commanded hy Prince . Tour-and-Taxis , entered
Hanau . Their number is . estimated at 5 , 000 . After passing them in review , the main body of the detachment continued its march towards Gelenhauser , leaving a garrison at Hanau as the headquarters . The advance of the troops was ;; so sudden , that they-bad to bivouac in the streets . All the houses are filled with seldiers ; some " of them lodge as many as sixty . The attitude of the population is calm , with the exception that the proclamations . of the . Elector and of the federal commissary , Count Reehberg , were torn down as they were posted up . '
A letter , dated Berlin , 1 st November , says : — 'The treaty of Bregenlz , of the 12 th October , is an authentic tact . After a , lengthy introduction , "to the effect that the Diet is constituted ; that ,- according to . the final act of the treaty of Vienna , it must put down rebellion ; the . article says , that if the Ejector invokes the aid of the Diet , the latter is bound to give it .. The subsequent clauses give the details of execution . ' Austria is to provide 150 , 000 men , Wurtemberg 20 , 000 , Bavaria 30 ^ . 00 . Bavaria is to form the vanguard near Frankfort , and is to enter first . Such is the treaty which was signed by Prince Schwarzenberg ( for Austria , ) by Von der P / orten ( Bavaria , ) , and Von Linden ( Wurtemberg ) . You are aware that Russia , acknowledging the principle of the treaty , promised that the execution of the resolutions of the Diet should have
her moral support m Hesse and her material assistance in Schleswig . But Russia counsels a settlement of the Hesrian q uestion by joint intervention . In a word , the Emperor recognises , or is about to recognise , the Diet ; ' advises an amicable adjustment of the Hessian question , and leaves that of Schleswig in abeyance . Reports arc current of a change of Ministry , and of the resignation of M . de Radowitz . As regards the Statthalterscbaft , I am informed ; on good ' authority that it is willing
to enter into negotiations with Denmark , either by directi . communication , or through the medium - of the commission proposed by Prussia ( supposing she be represented in that commission , ) on tbe conditions , first , that the Danes retire behind tbe first line of demarcation ; secondly , that the armistice be concluded for the term of one year , so that on the resumption of hostilities , the season of the year shall not be favourable only to the Danes . You may he sure that Denmark will not accept such conditions . '
It is said that Russia ' demands the immediate reconstruction of the Bundestag , ' and will admit of no other terms . Russia insists , therefore , on Prussia giving up her project of a separate confederation , and of reconstituting the Diet as it existed before 1848 . She presumes to dictate how Germany is to be governed ; how Europe , in fact , is to be organised ; and very soon she will probably ask for the abrogation of our House of Commons and our trial by . jury as dangerous to the despotism of the Czar and his coadjutors . For England now
to co-operate with Russia , if there be a grain of foundation for this report , would be something like co-operating with ; Napoleon in the plentitude of his power to destroy the independence of every state ia Europe .. Instead of helping to bring the Czsr forward > into Europe , he must be terrified back , if need be , by an union of all the other powers and people of Europe ; and woe to that monarch and that people , be they who they may , who side with the Czar , and would sacrifice . the civilisation and liberties of Europe to the barbarous despotism of Russia .
. "We must notice at the same time that Prussia ; in a despatch , dated Berlin , Oct .. 23 , shows herself willing to co-operate cordially in healing the strife between Denmarkand the Duchies . The armies of Prussia and Austria are concentrating in opposition to ; each other , about Hesse Cassel ; but we are assured that the bulk of the Germans will regard these powers , if they begin to fight on such a trifle as the constitution of Hesse Cassel , as the worst enemies of their fatherland . Should such an opinion be deliberately formed : on good grounds , not many years willthereafter elapse before the houses of Hapsburgh and Hohenzollern will occupy in Europe . the same position as the house of the elder Bourbonsi ' They , will be set aside as belongingnot to their age and nation . , ENTRY- OF THE . PRUSSIANS INTO HESSE .-
According to advices from Cassel , of the 2 d inst ., the 18 th Regiment of Prussian . Infantry , ¦ accompanied by a : squadron of Hussars and a- battery of artUleryi entered that . town on the morning of that day after a very severe forced night march , i These troops were sent off by General Groeben from Warburgh as soon as' he received intelligence of tbe entry of the Bavarians and AustYians on the opposite side of the Electorate . The military posts in Cassel were occupied hy the Burgher Guard ; The reception of the Prussian troops by the inhabitants was quiet but friendly .
There seems to be no doubt that the determination had been taken at Berlin to waive all ¦ differences for the present / and refer them to the Free Conferences to , be held at Vienna , when the news arrived of the entrance of the Bavarians and Austrians into Hesse . Such a step on the part of Austria could only : have been taken for the purpose of provoking war . Of the orders that have been sent from Berlin to the Prussian general in Hesse nothing certain is known . What . is known is , that immediately , on its becoming public in Cassel . that the Bavarians had entered , a despatch was . sent to the Prussian troops at Warburgb , who instantly
marched . and occupied Cassel . It must be premised that Cassel as well as Warburgh are on the etapenstrasse ( military road , ) and that by occupying them the Prussians are in no contravention of right or treaty . - It is also to be home in mind that there are eighteen millions of dollars in hard cash in the Elector ' s treasury at Cassel ; and no doubt cine great aim of the Elector ' s advance was to . secure them . For this purpose he sent an aide-dercamp with orders ; but it seems that the aide-decamp returned without having performed what he was sent for . The dollars remain at Cassel , both they and the standing committee being under Prussian guard .

which trusts rather to force than to * the affection of the subject , and which is perpetually in : , fear , as it is the cause of fear in btbers , acijording , to the' old adage , Neceise lest ' triulios ] tiinedt quern multi timeht .

"' Ah instance has just occurred in the Canton of tbe Grrisons , in which . a prelate has acted in a manner which shows
that he narrowly watches 'the proceedings / of his fellow labourers in Irelandi l The government of , the Grisocs have established a college a ^ Coire , ' for the education both of Protestants and ' Catholics * , the Bishop of Coire set his face against ihe mixed system of education , and addressed a circular to his clergy , in which he ; denounced the / colleges as heretical ,, and | instructed , the . clergy . to prevent their ! nocks- from , attending ; them ; , ; The ,, government , justly indignant at the conduct of the bishop , called together the Grand " ; Council , of . the . canton ; and in

The Devil S Footmarks.-A Singular Phenom...
The Devil s Footmarks .-A singular phenomenon : h as-: for some , time existed in . theTparish : ' of itowley Regis , which has not only given- rise ! to the most absurd rumours , but has been a source- of wonder , and still remains an inexplicable puzzle to allthecunniiig men and philosophers of the locality . More than five years ago , in a small meadow occupied by Messrs . Mills-and-Co ., at the Eagle Col- ' jiery , and through which . is a footpath to the j house ' . of Mr . ; John G . Higgs , the check bailiff at thewharf ; one morning were discovered a nuinbeif of Iniarks across the greensward , from the path fo the boundary fence and back again , in a triangular form . ;/ , These marks were nearl y in tho form of an imiriense mis-shapen hiiniah foot , and not only was every trace , of vegetation destroyed , . but tho very , twf appeared w if scorched h y g , rfld-ho 6 Jiron , Numbers of people were attracted to the spot daily and as the report spread , it was visited bv
thousands , and damage to a considerable amount was done , particularly on Sundays ., The ' affair went on , and afterrthe lapse of a year or two , a strong , thorn fence , was placed around , in expectation that , of course , grass would again grow on the spots , ; where the common belief now is that his Infernal Maiesty , for some purpose unknown to mortals , had ! impnnted . the . marks of his feet , but , all has been to no purpose ; not a . siiigle blade of any description of vpgetation . has ever yet appeared on , the , enchanted spots , and , though the fence has been since removed , and the field regularly mown / the baneful influence still remains ; and there the deep . indented marks are ; hard , dry , and . barren as at first , amemorial of some niyst ' erious agency ; but what it was no human ingenuity has yet discovered . A gentleman residing near has affirmed , he would gladly give half his fortune to have this disagreeable mystery satisfactorily explained . —Birmingham Journal ,
