TO THE IMPERIAL CHARTISTS . 5 Mr vert dkar Fbiexds . —I Juror * recently a * dre dressed yon upon a variety of sn'ijcets , and , notwit withstanding the taants of our enemies , that you and I ll had abandoned the agitation for the Charter in fav favrur of the land project , and , noiwitiistanoLing the pa : pa . -amount importance , the immediate importance , the the pressing importance that I attach to that question iion , I am once more constrained to postpone my pre promised letter npon the land that I may call to your
id recollection and jog your memory npon a more pressbs fog subject—I mean the threatened CUIMPING ' for flu fhe militia . I hold it as an unerring principle , tli : that allesrianee is not due where protection is not jei tendered , and I hold it to be an undeniable fact , tli that there is no protection for the working classes 0 f 0 f this country , and I prove it by the insolent and in imperious manner in which the petition of a majority of of the adults of England was treated by the llouse of f < C ommons .
In the summary of this week ' s foreign news , you v mil ! find ample reason for embodying an English B militia . The policy of Sir Robert Peel has been a secrecy , and he has withheld from you and from the 11 nation those causes which may lead to HIS NECESS S 1 TY for raising a militia . I announced to yon , 0 upon the Queen ' s first Visit to the King of the 1 French , that the object of that visit was the concoe t tion of a well-laid plan for the preservation of moi narchical power , and the suppression of democratic [ principles . From the birth of the Prince of Wales , t to the last visit of her Britannic Majesty to , the King < of the French , the autocrat of Russia , the King of ] Prussia , the King of Belginm , tho King oT Saxony , 1 the Queen of England , and the King of the French ,
hare exchanged Royal visits , and all for the purpose of asreeing upon measures for the preservation of their own rule . Upon those occasions they have been , for the most part , accompanied by their Ministers for Foreign Affairs . Upon the arrival of the President's message , I further announced to you that the material question in that document was , not the occupation ef the Oregon territory , but the principle of non-intervention proclaimed by Mr . Polk . The whole thing now bursts upon ns . In the present state of Ireland her oppressors dare not entrust her people with fire-arms—those who have such things have been compelled to have them branded . In order , therefore , to meet the difficulty , it is proposed to raise 40 , 000 Englishmen , to supply the place of the regular troops in England and Ireland .
Before I discuss the question of right—that is , the rijht to drag an unrepresented > lave from his house , to tear the rags of the little freedom that do remain from bis hack , and to force him into the habiliments of war , against his consent—I say , before I touch this subject of right to enlist , I shall call your attention to the purposes for which he is enlisted . He is enlisted as a substitute for the regular soldier now stationed in Ireland , or as a substitute for the
re / ular soldier now stationed in England , in order that the " regulars" may be despatched to America to carry ont the principle of monarchical Intervention with republican principles . The way tliat Pitt and Gastlereagh created that destructive feud which yet exists between Englishmen and Irishmen was by an exchange of militia regiments—by sending Church and King-mad slaves to shoot the Irish Catholic rebels , and by bringing the Catholic rebels to this conn irv to shoot the Jacobins .
Sow , I possess more records of the excesses and brutalities committed by the Church and King soldiers in Itebrad than is in the possession of any other man . Indeed the routing , expatriation , and destruc tion of my own family—the uprooting of their domains , * he ruin of their property , and the necessary defamation of their character , all bear to me , at ixisT , ample testimony of the mode of government by thestranger ' s sword , and the stranger ' s bullet , actio ? under the command of astranger maniac . These
militia regiments were officered , and those now raised would be officered , by the idle sprouts of an idle aristocracy , and their general feeling would constitute their regimental order ; and that order wouW be to slay , cut down , and destroy everything that was calculated to interfere with their cherished privileges Thanks be to God , however , that they can neither fence with a sentiment , shoot a principle , nor cut down an opinion , as I believe the voice of knowledge has silenced the cannon's roar .
Now , I will tell you a few of the excesses committed by those English invaders . They sacked men ' s hon « e « , ravished their wives and daughters , and hung their husbands and brothers at their own doors if they dared to complain . Sir William Wafkins "Wyon , who commanded the Black Horse or ancient Britons , or the Russians ( Hessians ) , as the Irish people termed them , had a rebel stripped naked in the streets of Naas , had him saddled with a dragoon saddle , a bit in his month , mounted by a drasoon with spurs , and
ridden through the town . I quote from history , and the g-llant officer was charged with the atrocity in j my presence in th * House of Commons . An English regiment quartered in Wexford seized an Irishman ! a Catholic and a rebel of course , stripped him naked , ran a spit through his body and roasted him alive ; and when the savages thought he was sufficiently cooked a serjeant took ont his knife , carved him , eat of him , and said to his comrades . " Paddy eats sweet , won't you taste him . "—See Plowden ' s History of Ireland .
Another gang searching for my father , broke into Bis bed-room in the dead of night , when my mother was in bed , and finding that the game had fled , the officer had something to do to prevent them from stabbingmy mother ; however they insisted upon her getting up , and , without raising the bed from the mattress , as many as could get reund the bedstead , by order of the officer , and at the word " stab , " ran their bayonets to the handles through bed and mattrass . A poor fellow who lived near Clonakilty , in the county of Cork , dared to remonstrate with the
militia men , who he found ravishing his daughter , sixteen years of age . He ran , frantic , to the officer , a soldier followed him , declared he was a rebel , and he w . is shot on the spot Cellars , larders , publichouses , cottages , and the mansions of the disaffected , all shared the same fate , and complaint was certain death . The characters that soma of those heroes have left behind them , will never be obliterated from the memories of Irishmen , and have , I am sorry to say , laid the foundation for that deadly hostility between the two countries which Mr . O'Connell has lost no opportunity of fostering .
Now , of all forces in the world , this bastard military force is the most dangerous . Its ranks consist of the most part of lick-spittles , dependents , and hangers-on of their aristocratic officers , and their atrocities are the best recommendation for future patronage . Hence , we find in Ireland all the patronage of the country bestowed upon the military savages , who most signalise themselves in acts of barbarism . Indeed , the fee-simple of Ireland is held bv the descendants of the soldiers of those adventurers , who used their uniform and their sword as a
means of plunder . In England , as in Ireland , all the good pickings were given to the same class of cruel butchers . At the times of which I speak , there was no resisting power in this country THERE IS NOW , and to that mind I appeal . The rich man , who is balloted , can procure a substitute ; but the poor man cannot , and , therefore , he is not upon an equality with the rich as regards life and military service . The penalty lor not serving is the same as the penalty for not paying tithes—distress ; that » , the goods of the refractory are distrained and sold to the amount that will procure a substitute
The Quakers do not acknowledge the justice of tithes , and , therefore ^ heroically allow their goods to be distrained in "HONOUR OF GOD . " As , therefore , we do not recognise the justice of cutting Irishmen ' s throats or Americans throats , let the house be made desolate , let the furniture of every man crimped be sold , and rely upon the Republican America : I will stand bondsman for the Republic , to pay ererr single farthing of loss . It will be a
glorious lesson to the rulers by the sword and the musket . It will teach them the lesson that they must either fight for themselves or surrender to the national will that which belongs to eternal justice Talk about your fighting for the Charter , of your braving the dock , the dungeon , and the scaffold for your principles , here is An easier remedy—don't fight for the principles that oppress you and the healing balm of self representation will be the fruits * f your

peaceful tranquillity . What ! are English Chartists to become substitutes for those who fight against theirprinciplesin America ? During the anti-tithe campaign in 1 S-31 the virtuous Irish people allowed their very beds to be sold for fcurpence , and the milch cows of their children for as many pence as the meek and lowly followers of Christ might please to offer for them rather than possess thcin at the expence of their principles , and , but for O'Connell's treason , tithes would have fallen before the national PASSIVE resistance , and if you are united now , the league of Kings must fall , the rule of tyrants must fall , and the Encash militia must fall
before your passive resistance . Ah , Englishmen , in her degradation and without your teaching and knowledge , tyrants dread the savage revenge of Irishmen more than they dread the tame submission of Englishmen ; and hence , with their desire to oppress Ireland , they dare not insult her by raising her militia . They have been obliged to brand the few arms they have—will they dare to trust you with arms ? Alas , yea , I fear , yes , but I hope it iUQgh their miscalculation and not from a well founded belief in your suV-serriency . If No . 1 , district of the Land Association was once located 6 , 000 strong , with 6 , 000 muskets over their chimney pieces , vpould the law dare to diag them , or one from amongst them , against his own will to fight the battles of othirs ?
Englishmen , when you have a stake in the country—when you have the vote to protect it , and the musket to defend it , then justice will require no ballot to uphold it—then you will fly to the cry of ' my cottage is in danger' with more alacrity and cheerfulness than the mercenary will respond to the shout of' the Church , the throne and the aristocracy are in danger . ' You must think , and not lightly , upon this subject ; mind , that 40 , 000 will make a great gap in society , and that the Chartists being the poorest , will find it most difficult to find substitutes , and 1 don't wish to see a Chartist militia until I sec it officered by Chartists , and then as many muskets as you please , because every bullet will fly in the direction of tyranny , and for the maintenance of justice . Therefore , again I say ,
NO VOTE , NO MUSKET . Ever your faithful friend , But no Church and King Soldier , Feargus O'Co . vvoe

The Executive Committee To The Members O...
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE TO THE MEMBERS OF THE NATIONAL CHARTER ASSOCIATION . Fbiexds , —We feel the most unmingled pleasure in seeing that the line of policy laid down by the late Convention has met with your unanimous approval . In an address issued by that body our policy was concisely , yet clearly , promulgated . The policy recommended to be pursued embraces several points , only one of whichsnall formthesubjectttf the present com munication . That part of our policy is one of trauscendentimportanee , andthctimeforitsvigorou 3 prose cution is now arrived . We allude to the course
recommended for obtaining the liberation of the patriotic exiles , those victims of base , bloody , and brutal Whiggery . Frost , Williams . andJones . Thesenicn wereever theardentand truthful advocates of universal justice , even the chains of slavery have not chilled the fervency of their patriotism , as the letter of Mr . Frost in the Star of the 4 th instant clearly shows . When anions us they were foremost in the ranks of freedom ' . - ' friends ; their enthusiasm in the cause of justice led them into the traps of despotism , and your aid is now indispensable to their extrication . Our purpose in this address is to instruct you as to how your assistance can be effectively rendered .
According to the authority politically phrased our glorious Constitution ! the Queen is the fountain of mercy . She alone has the power of annulling or commuting a sentence pronounced by judicial authority . Hence , then , our course is clear ; to snap the chains of captive patriots , wc must work upon the royal sympathy ; we must strive by every available means " to direct the current of royal clemency to Frost , Williams , and Jones , that it may refresh them with liberty and happiness . Since that sorrowful event—the transportation of these patriots—no earnest or concentrated movement has been made by the people on their behalf . Perhaps it is as well thatit has been so ; inasmuch as a lapse of time might be required to mollify those obdurate
feelings with which rulers have in all ages regarded the efforts of patriotism to establish the reign of justice . Five years of their captivity have now rolled over , let us hope that in that time the minds of our rulers have been prepared to view their case by the lights of reason , religion , and philanthropy , instead of through the murky medium of prejudice and antipathy . Their conduct during their expatriation has been of such a high character as to secure for them the esteem of the local authorities , as well as the greatest amount of immunity allowable by the Colonial laws . This fact , impartially considered , must plead eloquently and powerlully for a favourable exercise of the royal prerogative , by the remission of I their harsh sentence , and their restoratwn to their friendshomeand country .
, , Friends—A conjuncture of propitious circumstances , into a detail of which it is now unnecessary to go , brightens and strengthens our hopes of seeing , ere long . Frost , Williams , Jones , and Ellis , receiving our hearty congratulations upon their deliverance . And , oh , what a proud , day will that be for Chartism , upon which is witnessed the glorious consummation . Their trial was illegal , —so says Lord Brougham , so says Sir F . Pollock , so say six of the fifteen judges . Here , again , is ground of hope . We have seen the Canadians , many of them taken prisoner * white fighting against the constituted
authorities , sentenced to transportation , but since permitted , by Royal iileasure , to return to their homes . Even Papfneau , the chief of the reb . llion , is now living in the full enjoyment of every immunity of that land where , not long since , he led thousands to the gory field of war , for the subversion of the British dynasty . With these facts before the world it must be conceded by all , that we are neither inordinate in our desires , nor extravagant in our anticipations , in seeking the return of hrost , Williams , Jones , and Ellis . Now , friends , for the mode of proceeding which we recommend . Wherever there is a Chartist council
let them at once take the necessary steps for convening a public meeting of the inhabitants of their city , borough , « fcc , as the case may be , to petition Parliament to present an address to the Queen , praying for a revocation of the sentences passed on Frost , Williams , Jones , and Ellis , and their restoration to their homes , witi the least possible delay . Let a respectful requisition , as numerously signed by electors as possible , be presented to the chief magistrate , soliciting the use of such public building as he , by virtue of his office , may have jurisdiction over , for the holding of the meeting , as well as his presidency on the occasion . In cases of failure you must not be daunted , but proceed with the good work as well as circumstances will permit . Let your resolutions be temperate but firm , and in all cases let the following petition to Parliament be proposed for the adoption of the meeting : — TO IDS HOSODIUBLE THE COMMONS OF OBKAT BRITAIN
ASD IBEIAX 0 . The Petition of the un & erngntd inhabitants of , Shewetb , That in the commencsment of the year 1840 , JohnFrost , Zephaniah Williams , and William Jones , were arraigned before a Special Commission , at Monmouth , on a charge of hizb treasun , convicted and sentenced to be hanged , drawn , and quartered . That subsequently the wntence was commuted to transportation for life , which sentence they hare been enduring up to the pr « ent time . That yourpetifionerihaTe eogentreaions for believing that the said John Frort , Zephaniah Williams , and William Jones , have not had a trial in conformity with the requirements of the laws of this Realm , and , consequently , for condadin that such trial is virtually null and void .
That , at the trial of the individuals aforesaid , an objection was taken to tlie proceedings by those eminent lawyers , Sir Frederick Pollock and Fitiroj Kelly , which , if tenable , would have arrested their further progress ; that the objection thus taken produced a contrariety of opinion among the judges composing the Special Commission on tha occasion . That when the point mooted by those distinguished counsel was brought before the fifteen judges for adjudication , six of them registered their opinion * in favour of the validity of the objection , and three of the remaining nine considered tha objection valid , but that it was not taken in time .
That , under those circumstances , jour petitioners earnestly appeal to jour Honourable House , in the strong hope that yon will present an address to her Majesty , prajing for the liberation of the aforesaid John Frost , Zephaniah Williams , and William Jones , and theirmtoration to their homes and families . And your petitioners , as in duty bound , will ev « r pray .

At each meeting Jet there be adopted a brief memorial , signed by the chairman on behalf of the meetin" to the representative , or representatives of the place , requesting him or them to support Mr . Buncombe ' s motion in behalf of the exiles . Wc would likewise recommend that each meeting adopt the following memorial to Sir Robert Peellet it be signed by tue chairman , and sent to its destination a * soon as possible . It may be productive of some good . Let us leave nothing untried that may conduce to the consummation of the philanthropic , the glorious work : —

That , notwithstanding , they were found guilty , and condemned to death , which sentence was afterwards commuted to transportation for life , " and which they are now undergoing .

France. The Saturday's Debate On The Add...
FRANCE . The Saturday's debate on the address in the Chamber of Peers was not of any great interest . After the speeches of M . Boissy d'Anglas , M . C . Dupin , and M . Dubouchage , the Marquis de Boissy addressed the Chamber on the subject of Parliamentary Reform , and said it would be becoming the dignity of the Peerage if that Chamber were to take the initiative in demanding the reform which the country required . One of the first reforms ought to be to reestablish the hereditary peerage , by which alone the independence of the Upper Chamber could be secured . He warned the llouse against opposing all reform . The country was determined to have
reform of some kind , and the only way to satisfy it with a moderate measure was to give it early . [ We hope our French neighbours will repudiate De Boissy ' s " moderate reform . " These " moderate reformers" arc always worse enemies to the people than even the acknowledged anti-reformers . ] On Tuesday the discussion on the Address was continued in the Chamber of Peers . The Marquis de Boissy addressed the Chamber at great length arainst the general policy of the government , and found fault with its conduct on all points . After he had concluded , the paragraph under consideration ( the third ) was passed . Count de la Rcdorte then spoke on the next paragraph , referring to the right of search , and criticised in severe terms the late convention .
The Belats , in noticing the death of Earl Granville , says that the grief felt in England for the death of tlie noble earl will be sincerely participated in France , where , by his soft and amiable manners , and by the conciliatory disposition of hischaracter , he had acquired general esteem and regard . [ We beg to assure the Debats , that England is not at all brokenhearted in consequence of Earl Granville ' s death . On the contrary England would be very happy to see all the * ' Earls" and their class , iollow the Earl Granville .
•* The sun would shine the same , The rains of heaven as seasonably fall , Though no Earls existed . If the Marquis De Boissy would like a "hereditarypeerage" England can dispose of one dirt cheap . France can have our Peers for nothing , and perhaps John Bull would even give a trifle to any nation who would take them off hid hands . ]
FALL OF THE . GREAT VIADUCT OF BARENTIN ON THE ROUES AND HAVRE RAILWAY , The Rouen journals of Sunday gave the following account of the giving way of the viaduct of Barentin , on the Rouen and Havre line of railroad . On Friday , at about six o ' clock in the morning a tremendous rumbling sound , which was heard as far as Pavilly , near three-quarters of a league from the spot where it originated , awoko the inhabitants of Barentin . It arose from the falling of twenty-eight of the pillars which supported the viaduct , which rose more than 100 feet above the level of the ground . The people hastened in a mass to the scene of the disaster , fully apprehending that many lives had been lost . Happily , however , they were soon satisfied that this was not the
case , and that the viaduct alone was the sufferer . The piers and other of the ruins were piled one upon the other , and fortunately in such a direction that the only other building touched by the fall was a corn mill on the River Sainte Auslreberthe , and this was entirely thrown down . There was one of the miller's men in the mill , but he heard tho noise in time to shelter himself under a main beam , and when drawn from under the ruins he had received no other hurt than a slight wound on one of his fingers . The mill , with its machinery , was completely crushed . It had been purchased by the railroad company . The course of the river , which passed under the viaduct , was diverted , and its waters turned over the adjoining
lands . The now fallen viaduct was commenced in the spring of 1844 , since which time from 200 to 300 men have been employed upon it , and was so nearly finished , that not more than forty were still at work . This was a colossal structure , formed upon 27 arches , each of 150 feet span , formed of brick-work , as well as the pillars , on socles of stone . Its entire length was about 500 yards , and now scarcely any portion of it remains standing . The cause of this vast destruction cannot yet be ascertained ; but it is attributed to the use of bad materials . The loss is estimated at l , 300 , 000 f . At the first news of the event , the prefect of the department went to the spot , and passed nearly the whole day in making inquiries and giving the necessary directions .
[ From the Debats . ] A serious accident , which might have occasioned very fatal consequences , but which luckily hai not been attended with any loss of life , has just occurred on the works of the Rouen and Llavre Railway . The great viaduct across the valley of Barentin suddenly fell in on Saturday morning , between five and six o ' clock ' . By the greatest good fortune , and on account of theearliness of the hour , very few workmen were yet oh the line , and none were injured . The electric telegraph brought the news to Paris on Saturday . Mr . Locke , the engineer of the company , one of the administrators and contractors , and the head of the works , went instantly from Paris to Rouen and Barentin , The accident , to all appearance , willhave none of the serious consequences at first anticipated from it . The manager publishes the following note from Mr . Locke , which contains that gentleman ' s first notions respecting the cause of the disaster , and which is to be followed by a mora detailed report : —
At present it is impossible to determine the prscise causes of this disaster . The arch which first fell was that on which the ballast was placed . Its fall may possi-My nam been , caused by the inequality of the lading ,

the weight ef ballast lying more on one side than the other of the arch . The giving way of tlie latter may 14 ave' occasioned the falling in of the rest of the conjtr notion . i T .

The repairs will be commenced immediately- T'ie accident will cause the contractors a loss of 5 orC 0 i V ° 0 F ., and will occasion two or three months ' delay in the' opening of the line .
SPAIN . The govenuneut had taken great offence at the manifesto of the Infante Don Enrico , relative to the Queen ' s mavria ; ge » and exhibiting his own liberal tendencies . The young prince has received orders to leave Madrid w . 'tliin forty-eight hours . Passports were sent him for jTerrol , where the ship of which he has the command is now lying ; and it is stated in the Eco ^ del Commercio that on his arrival there he will find further orders , .. which will give him the pleasure of a trip to the'Philippine Islands or some other distant region . It | s reported , however , that Don Enrico has resigned lii ' s commission in the navy , and refuses to go . The address of the Senate was presented to the Queen on ' the 6 th by a deputation appointed for that purpose . '
Accounts from Madrid of the- 7 th state that on that day the discussion on the Address was resumed , and , after a long speech from the Minister of the Interior , it was adopted / by a majority' of 117 to 32 The most active stcpsrkad been taker ? against Bon Henrique , and it wouM appear that persons who had little or- nothing to do with the letter had also bcea made sufferers . The Prince ' s secretary had been dismissed and banished to Cadiz ; his brother Don Francisco D'Assises , had been ordered to join his regiment at Pampelana ; and Don Ifenrique was to proceed with the least possible , delay to Ferrol .

bant Nasvaez . —Accounts from Madrid of the 16 th hist ., state that tho debate in the Chamber of Deputies , on > the Address , was becoming more Animated . Senor Latoyn attacked the Government with great vigour for its attacks upon the press , especially in suppressing trial by jury ia cases of libel . Senor Orense followed , with a violent at . tack upon the general policy of tho government . Hedeclared that the whole administration of the present Cabinet had been nothing but a tissue of illegalities and acts of violence . lie alluded to the conduct of Renzifo , the agent of police , trlioss atrocities were exposed some months ago in the affair ef Senor Cortina , and said that not only did Renzifo get up a false case against M .
Cortina , but that Renzifo himself had declared that persons in the confidence and pay of the government had said to him— "Get up a conspiracy , andplace yourself at its head , for an opportunity is wanted of shooting some person . " This produced a storm in the Chamber , during which the Minister of the . Interior demanded that M . O'Kense ' s words should be taken-down' , to which il . Orense replied that tho fact had already been published in every newspaper in Madrid . General Nnrvaez declared that M . Orense was a calumniator , and threatened to take seme effectual steps to put n stop to his attacks . An extraordinary tumult ensued , and the Piesident , seeing no other mode of restoring order , suddenly put an end to it by adjourning the debate .
GERMANY . Vienna , Jan . 1 . —Dubious Discovert . —The excitement occasioned by the visit of the Emperor of Russia having now subsided , and the various cancans , political and anecdotical , either founded on truth or due to mere invention , upon the subject , even down to the jokes of those established wits of Vienna , . the bootmakers' hoys , having been already declared " stale , flat , and unprofitable , " the attention of the newsmengering world has been attracted to a fresh topic of conversation—one relating to a subject so full of strange mvstcry and conjecture , as to form a romance of real life , " which , if it lacks entirely the usual ingtedienls in such tales—the love , and assassination , and devcloDement of human passions—is
none the less full of interest and wonder—a tale almost incredible , were not the details , as far as established facts are concerned , not only warranted by the most undoubted authority , but matters of notorious publicity . To tell the tale , however , I must begin abovo , and relate how a certain young Hungarian of Presburg , not overburdened , it would seem , either with sense or talent , or even other advantages , Moral ov physical , of the name Biiky , was , some months since , requested by a great aunt , the widow of a well-known ' advocate of the same city , to seek some family paperjrdenositcd in a garret in her house . During his search for these matters his attention , as it seems , was called by a friend who accompanied him —for his own powers of perception upon the subject do
not appear to have been great—to certain documents which fell under their hands concerning persons of the highest rank in foreign countries . Roused to a sense of a certain importance to be attached to these papers , young Biiky takes possession of them ; and one set of papers is sent to his Majesty the King of the French . Of some importance they certainly must have been ; for the offer of a recompense in money for their being despatched to Paris having been rejected by the young man , the Order of the Legion d'llonneur is bestowed upon him by Louis Philippe , and an invitation made to him by his Majesty to become his gucjt if he should ever wish to visit Paris , and to have all the expenses of his journey paid . The contents of another sot of papers ar e
communicated to the families of the reigning Houses of Baden , Lucca , and Tuscany ; and this communication also has its value , for similar offers of pecuniary recompense from these various Powers havim ; been alike refused , orders from each ef these conntries are also bestowed upon the discoverer ot the documents : a gold snuff-box , enriched with diamonds , is added by the Grand Duchess of Baden ; and behold the young , nameless , unconsidered advocate now parading the streets of his native town with four decorations dangling at his button-hole . To what the contents of those important papers may have related is the subject only of conjecture , or , at most , of vague rumour . Those appertaining to the family of Orleans arc said to have been letters written by
the famous Philippe Egalit 6 , the father of the present King of the French , to an Austrian Minister during the times of the French Republic , but what is their importance as regards the family at the present day can only be dimly divined . Those concerning the other ducal houses already mentioned have received from rumour quite another signification , and are supposed to refer to estates in Hungary , to which these families have a claim , until now ignored or forgotten by them , though by what tie of relationship or affinity does not at all appear , and , which , sold in troublous times for a mere trifle , and now of an immeasurably greater worth , may , according to the tenor of Hungarian law , be reclaimed , at the price of the original sale , by the descendants of
the parties who originally possessed and sold them . The value , however , of such a discovery , if tins conjecture be true , is more evident than in the previous case . How these papers , of so different and strange a nature , fell into the hands ot the Presburg advocate in whose house they have been found so many years afterwards , must necessarily be obscure ; but here again rumour supplies the place of more authentic information , and we are told that , originally in the possession of a wellknown Austrian Minister , they were placed by him in the hands of the depository at Presburg for security and secrecy during the time of the invasion ot Austria by the French under Napoleon , and that , afterwards reclaimed , they were denied by tlie
advocate ever to have been in his possession , though for what reasons must again remain a mystery . The talc , however , is not yet done—the most extraordinary is still to come . Searching still further , emboldened by his discoveries , young Biiky stumbles sometime afterwards upon papers ! nearly concerning the house of Austria . Armed with these documents , he came about two months since to Vienna ; and there , as a recompense for his discovery , boldly demands the honour of being nominated chamberlain to the Emperor —a distinction only bestowed upon persons able to prove their pure and unalloyed descent fiom ancestors of , Heaven knows how many degrees , and make what is called their ahnenprobe , and ahntnprobt young Biiky can make none , for his father was a bourgeois advocate , his mother a butcher's daughter . What these last documents may contain none as yet know . Rumour is silent , and even conjecture holds its tongue in Austria . But tho certain tact exists
that the voung unknown advocate has been granted his bold demand , and now dons tho uniform of the Emperor ' s Chamberlain , and sports the significative two golden buttons , supposed to support the key emblematic of his office , on the back of his coat . However strange may be the adventures of Master Biiky of Presburg—however incomprehensible hi ^ fortunes , the tale is true and warranted . The mor Al ef it may be , that some people are born with golden spoons in their mouths—perhaps to stop them 1 ILuinmum .

The Iittlfc cantons , Lucerne , Friburg and Valais , prefer giving their men to the pontificral government , or to the King of the Two Sicilies . Besides , these powers are on the evo of declaring war on anti-Jesuit Switzerland , and no doubt they will not send their lundturm to Barcelona , Valencia , and Madrid .
Phogress ov Radicalism . —Great agitation exists in the Canton of Berne , nhare the people are holding meetings with a view to bring about a radical change in the constitution . On Sunday last there waa a meeting « t Arberg of 4 , 000 persons , and ; a resolution was come to to send an address to the Grand Council , calling for the creation of a constituent assembly for the proposed revition of the constitution . A similar but still more nuinerous meeting was also held at Givatt , at which the same resolution was come to . In both instances it was resolved that if tlie Grand Council should not comply with tho application , a popular meeting should be convened in the capital , ALGERIA .

Fortumi was unfavourable to the Emir , although he renewed the combat twice , after being once repulsed . The Emir , who was seen by the French troops , had a horse killed under him . Though the victory was complete for the French , it does not appear to have been very disastrous to the losing side .
Foreign Miscellany. Holland And Belgium....
FOREIGN MISCELLANY . Holland and Belgium . — The Government of Holland has just issued a decree subjecting the principal exports of Belgium to a duty , twice , or even thrice , four , and even five times , as large as that paid by Germany and England on the same articles . The Ministerial journals of Belgium loudly protest against this hostile measure . Letters from Amsterdam state that in consequence of the failure of the coffee crop , in Java , the Netherlands Commercial Company will not put up for sale more than 24 , 000 bales in the spring of this year . The export and imports of Belgium for the year 18-15 were , together , of the value of live hundred and ninety-one millions of francs , ( about 25 millions sterling ) . The " receipts at the Custom-house , at Antwerp , in 1 S 45 , were 6 \ U 5 . 557 francs ( about £ 250 , 000 . ) In 1814 they were 0 , 280 , 307 .

Tlie Militia. Much Uncertainty Prevails ...
TLIE MILITIA . Much uncertainty prevails as to when the rc-cmbodiment of the militia will commence , tor that the embodiment of that force will take place in the course of the present year there is now no doubt . The act of Parliament authorising tho ballot tor the militia has been suspended many years . I he result of this is , that the alterations in the amount ol population of the country must necessarily lead to a very different distribution of the quota to be furnished by each county . It is perhaps not known to many that duriii" the recess of Parliament nothing can be done to ascertain sueh quota without an order in Council directin" this to be-done , by the delivery ot notices at the houses of those liable to be drawn for tins serviceupon which return is termed the necessary
, information to found this data . The Morning Chronick states that an order in Council has been issued for the distribution of the balloting papers , " which , " says the Chronitk , " have already been circulated in several of tho metropolitan parishes . " We have heard that the balloting papers have been delivered in the parishes of Mury-le-bone , St . Pancras , and St . George ' s , Hanover-square . At the moment ot this ( Thursday ) , we cannot vouch for this report . On the other hand , if the Times is tobe believed , no order in Council has yet been issued , " Nor is it likely there will be now , " " but , " adds tho Times , " immediately on the meeting of Parliament a bill will re brought in to authorise this measure . " Upon this being done the ballot for each county will follow , and
then the orders of the Government as to the duty to be performed . The Chronicle says :- " Thejegiments intended for duty in Sussex , Kent , and other counties adjoining to the sea coast , will be first called out . The term of service , according to the regulations of the last act is five years , and » H grounds of exemption must he stated at the court o appeal tor consideration thereon . It is not likely that any measuns will be adopted respecting the Irish militia , until those of Englandand Scotland shall be competed . The Tims savs : — " With respect to the various rumours as to a permanent embodiment tor active service for any length of time , there are not at
present any substantial grounds for believing such will be tho case , but the chance is that the various corps will be placed on duty for a period ot twentyeight days only , and that so for carrying out the measure will sufficiently put the government , in possession of the knowledge of the amount ot means available , should any unexpected emergency arise . ' ExKMrTlONS TROM BBRTIXO \* ™ K MaiTIA .-Thc following , we believe , will be found a correct statementof the classes and persons . exempted from serring in the Militia ; be it understood , as the law has been hitherto—whether any alterations are intended in this respect , in the intended new act , we have not heard : — "No peer of this realm , nor any person
