Fj1ance. Two Italians Were Arrested By T...
FJ 1 ANCE . Two Italians were arrested by the police on Friday vrcek VmA in i _' nris , and all their papers and _private letters were seized and carried away . The _Constitutiennd asserted that this act was in consequence of ihe recent insurrection at Rimini ; but the _Monitemdenit-s thc fact , and says that the arrest had no _referesu-e to the aifuin _. of Italy . The Paris papers of Sunday speak of little except ths late cvems in Algeria , and of the proceedings in which they have _given or may / we rise . The details which hourly arrive of the disaster ol" thc French ami V show with how much desperation and effect the _Kabvles attacked the troops , who had heenas 1 m Presse ¦
, well _observes , for a twelvemonth inflicting upon them , in tiic shape of * ' razzia _* " all the horrersand -atrocities of a war uncontrolled by the conventional eheeksiinposcd upon warfare when carried on between European nations . Those details show further that the lo . s of thc French was unhappily greater than was at first admitted—unhappily tor the conquerors as the conquered , for the advantage gained by the abylcs will hardly change the fate of their country , while it will bring upon them the fury of a soldiery goaded on to blood and rapine , as well hy the ferocity of their own dispositions a 3 by thc diatribes of the ± tench press , which halloas them , on to slaughter and to devastate .
SPAIN . We direct the reader ' s attention to an article in oar seventh page , from the Tym Mercury , on Spanish affairs . The followingnews , dated Madrid , Oct . : _Jrd , tends to confirm the views of the writer in the Mercury : — " Representations agaiust the new taxes continue to he sent Hp from different parts of the country . Barcelona , Logrono , Malaga , _andPontevidia , have petitioned within these few days against them . A collector was shot hy thc _neople in the neighbourhood of Valencia , and thc _liittndcntc of that province is said to havo taken three hundred
agents into his pay to force the payment of tlie taxes there . Thc _acamnts sent in by the provincial authorities to the government , arc , however , regarded in ministerial quarters as being on thc whole of a favourable character , as regards the ultimate payment of the contributions , though in many places there is great difficulty in getting tlie municipal authorities to render the assistance required from them . The Opposition journals continue to describe the difficulties as almost _insuperable , and the Tiempo alludes to a report circulated in various quarters , _ihat a "cortedecue _.-itas , " or stoppage of payments , is contemplated by the government .
Madrid , Oct . 5 . —There is a perfect lull in polities for the moment , the great experiment of the new system of taxation is now under course of trial , and _lipon Its success or failure will probably depend the late of the existing government . It is pretty evident , that let the conduct of the ruling powers be as arbitrary as it may , and however retrograde their policy may be , the general apathy and unconcern -that pervade the masses , to auextcnt that baffles all calculation , make it probable that the march of the government will not he materially arrested bv any
outbreak of popular discontent . But it is _ijuite a different thing when a large amount of direct taxes has to be collected from an inactive and impoverished people . There is no doubt that the chief reason which induced the Spanish people to put _uoso quietly with the despotism of Ferdinand was , that his pecuniary demands were comparatively small ; aud , in . fact , when Garay attempted to impose a direct tax of a similar mitura to that now laid on the country , the opposition , was so great that he was compelled ts withdraw it . It remains lo be seen whether Scnor -Mon will have better success .
_JllADian , _Ociobeb : 7- — Messrs . Lopez , Madoz _, Cortina , and others , prosecuted for _nartieinatiou in the revolt of Alicante , had been honourably acquitted . Moke Mur . nsns . —The two sergeants of the pro-Trncial regiment of Jaen , who had been condemned to ba shot by tha Supreme Tribunal , to which the eaa _^ e , arising out of the conspiracy of . Inly as _ Malaga , had been referred , were executed on the 2 fth ult . BniGAxn _Bketox , the Butcher of _"Bauckiava . — The Political Chief of Barcelona has resigned , in consequence , it is said , of some slight received at thc hands of General Breton , who is playing th * tyrant there at a great rate , shooting , banishing , and imprisoning in a inoatsonunary manner—sac day beating au alcalde , another arresting his own officers on thc most frivolous grounds , aud conducting himself , in short , as if he had lost his senses , which is thc most charitable explanation of his strange proceedings .
Mamiid , Ocr . S . _—Moue Infamous Acts of tiik Isfjmocs Govj _ hx 3 lI £ NT . —The Government has just committed one of those acts cf arbitrary oppression which , ia truth , is thc characteristic of _JS ' aiv . -u _* 2 _* s cabinet . It has summarily dismissed tha president ofthe tribunal wliich , on the previous day , honourably _aefpiitted _^ MM . Cortina , Madoz , Lopez , and thc other deputies . What hope can thero be _> . f justice in a country where magistrates arc thus punished for doing their duty . The Government has gone further . It has given orders to restrict counsel in _x ' : e dischargc-of their duties . This vindictive affair has created great disgust in -Madrid . Thc Eco del _Cumerdo announces that Colonel Lorenzo _Milar . s del _Bjsco has been unexpectedly arrested . . No reason has ken alleged for the arrest , but , says tha journal , no one is safe where thc authorities do not scruple to throw any citizen iuto prison on anonymous iu-_ > __*_ _* _jation .
_Si-Aix axd Sr __ a __ ins- —Extract of a letter from Madrid , October 7 , _liiio . —The English certainly kivc very false notions about Spain and the _Spaniards . The-countiy is considered to be infested with banditti , and thc people nearly as dangerous from tlieir revengeful spiri * . As far as 1 have seen during some months' residence and excursions into thc _counirv , this is not the fact ; the people generaliv being what you may call " canny folk . " But yet although itis years -since the banditti were heard of near Madrid , no farmer or traveller ever enters Madrid from the country , should it bo only for two miles , without a gun slung to his saddle , which , 1 have no doubt , gives rise in a great measure to the ' _roniaatic " tales of travellers . " Again , yoa have frequent reports of disturbances at Madrid , and vet one onlv has taken place for some time past , and
that was no rise of the people . It appears the government heard of certain parties wishing io raise : m emcute ; what did thev do ? scut some spies as pretended friends anicnifst the people , who stated they kucw for certain that a regiment was only waiting * to sec the people armed , when they would join them and bring about a revolution . Thus they _persuaded tlie poor fellows to _g _° in a body to meet the soldiers , which they were foolish cueugh to do . The soldiers in thc meantime were underarms , prepared , and ordered to fire on any strangers who should enter the barracks . Tiie consequence was , eight cr ten -ivana enthusiastic patriots were made victims , as well as the . surgeon of the regiment ( by accident ) . The conespoiident of the Times , 1 hear , is so timid a man , that if a Spaniard but look him hard in the face he is like to go into fits .
PORTUGAL . . LlsCGX , OcTOi * . _'_ n 3 . —A R _ lvolutio __ y Crisis at IIaxd . —Thc financial embarrassments of this country arc fast approaching to a crisis , or rather a catas trophe . This has been long foreseen by all reflecting _aien , who liavc - watched tlic prodigal coiir .-e of _goviynmeiir , devoiiong ia cares -solely to the means of perpetuating its power , satisfying the exorbitant _Wetei . sions of its supporters , aud in providing for a _itabir d : _iv , when the _oi'eial sun should _cea-= e to s ' uine enlis members . For ihe last three years this administration has kept it-elf in power entirely by loans , _aaticii-ations of revenue , and transactions in the juouev market , and thc shifting of stock between Li < _bo __ i and London . _Tlieannaaldeficit in ihe ruenii "_ ac has _cea « on increasing , not only on account of
excessive taxation defeating its own fiscal purpose , but on account of the umviioicsomc stimulus given to moncv jobbing _opcrafhms , and the taking away of _caoital from agriculture and commerce for investing in _stock-fobbing transaction _^ and moneylending companies . The exactions of the government have pressed heavily on both classes . They have la d ou enormous import duties , varying from 200 down to 15 per cent , on foreign manufactures , not for the protection of native industry , but for fhe sake of increasing the custom-house receipts . The balance of trade against Portugal by their fiscal mismanagement is now about ?) , «) 00 conlos a year . The revenue is falling off , the people are pressed for taxes , and the discontent has arrived at a pitch that threatens to break down all before it . Indeed , the
fact is SO well known , that the ministerial journals are now daily denouncing plots and conspiracies , with the view of attributing the state of national discontent to theacts of the Opposition leaders , and , strange to say , thev connect thc latter with Miguelite machinations . There arc two things in relation to the affairs of this country especially worthy of notice . In all ranks and conditions of life , there is au universal comp laint of impoverishment , and in the midst of this general distress and decline of trade and agriculture , there are men about the Government and in it , who arc making large fortunes _suddenly , and making no secret & the affluence thus suddenly acquired . There is , moreover , a Strom * support for tliis administration out of the countV exercised in Belgium , Austria , and Engof the minister
land , aid especially the support foreign ofthe latter , of Lord Aberdeen , is counted on and boasted of bv the Cabrals , as their principal stay at court . The * tendencies of Lord Aberdeen to absolutism are shown in Tendering representative Governments abroad as mockeries and delusions , instead ofthe realities which their name imports and to the promotion of the views connected with those tendencies , the imperial interests or England and thc material interests of Portugal are sacrificed . UI lord Aberdeen ' s policv in 1 S 2 S there is but one opinion entertained in Portugal by men of ail parties , with the exception of some of the _iligueliteleadci-sthat it was the means of inflicting on this country a iiw . -.-cms' civil war , and a fareSem debt of nine _nnflks _< t _»^" _^ _- * The rdiicv that is so ;* * " _nuivjicg _wul

inevitably lead to the bankruptcy of the State , anil to the fall of the restored Tin-one . These evils are reasonably apprehended , and they arc only staved off by temporary expedients , which must _augment the mischief of the crash whenever it docs come . Dangerous precedents arc now familiarly talked of , hut the state of things when the war ot" the restoration commenced was not so desperate as it now is .
ITALY . THE ItECEXT IXSURRECTION . " ~" c _ t » iic the following from the Homing Chronicle : — Wc have received a copy of a manifesto issued by the insurgents at Rimini , and addressed to the whole of the inhabitants ofthe Roman states , and to the _princes and people of Europe . The document , which is ably drawn up , gives a short account of the many attempts made by the Italians since 1816 to acquire a share of liberty similar to the rest of Kurope . It closes by declaring that the Liberals in the Roman states wish to respect tho authority of the Pope as head of the universal church , but in order that they may respect and obey him as a temporal sovereign , they demand—1 . That a general
amnesty be granted for ail political offences committed since 1821 . 2 . That the civil and criminal codes be modified and assimilated to those of the other civilized nations of Europe ; that the proceedings In'thc courts he public ; tliat trial by jury be introduced ; and that confiscation and the punishment of death for treason bc abolished . 3 . That the tribunal of lhe holy-onice exercise no authority over the laity , nor over those having jurisdiction in the ecclesiastical courts . 4 . That political offences be tried before the ordinary tribunals , o . That the municipal councils be elected b y the citizens , and approved by the sovereign ; that the provincial council bc elected by the sovereign , from a list presented by the municipal council , and the supreme council o ' persons to be proposed by thc provincial council . O . That the supreme council of state reside at Rome ,
and have the 3 upt-t . iutcndci . ee ot the public debt , and that it have a deliberative vote on all questions respecting the taxes and the expenditure of the state , and be consulted on every other . 7 . That all public functionaries , and all civil , military , and judicial functionaries , shall be considered as seculars . 8 . That public instruction be under the direction of thc bishops and clergy , to whom religious education is reserved . 9 . That the restrictions of the censorship ou printing be restricted to the _prevention of injury to the Divinity , to the Catholic religion , to the so _\ 'ereign , . rid the private lives of citizens . 10 . That the foreign troops bc dismissed . 11 . That a civil guard be instituted , to preserve order and enforce obedience to the laws ; aud , finally , that the government commence a system of social improvement in the spirit of" the age .
We take the following from the Times : —One of our private letters from Eaenxa , of thc 29 th ult ., brings some further particulars of the insurrectionary movement at Itimini . It was on the 23 rd , ' at four o ' clock in ths evening , that a number of persons , armed with muskets and fowling-pieces , assembled on the Square del Corso . The authorities immediately culled out the garrison , and shortly afterwards the Swiss and * Cavabinicrs , 100 in number , and 300 soldiers of tiie line , drew up on thc Square of the Theatre . Tiie _Carabinicrs having been sent to -reconnoitre the position of thc Liberals , were assailed in thc streets by the latter . Alter an engagement of an hour , thc result was still uncertain ,
when the troo : > s of thc line , who had remained passive spectators of thc conflict , wheeled to the left , and sided with the insurgents . The people and the soldiers then fraternised , and appointed a provincial junta of Government . The Carabiniers lost ten killed and wounded , and the' Swiss two killed , and the insurgents had six men hon do combat . On the following day tke small towns of St . _Archangelo and Bavignauo followed thc example of llimini . There , likewise , thc Carabiniers offered some resistance , which was , however , speedily subdued . At Pesaro , _Peniiiia , and Ascoli , and generally throughout tha Marches , the utmost agitation prevailed . The _Constitutional publishes thc following latter from Florence , dated the 20 th ult .:
—' Iho news of the insurrection at llimir . i reached the llomagna aud Tuscany cu the 2-lth . The emigrants on the frontier immediately assembled near Matin-liana , where they were joined by other patriots from Faenza and the legation of Ravenna . In the morning of the 25 th tlicy amounted to about 300 . At their head were Counts Beltroin , Biancoli , Bagnacarclio , and Pasi , of Faenza , M . Mazzai de Caste ! _Dologuese , Dr . _Andveoni , of Bologna , Major Baldi , the brothers Mintancri , and others . They first moved towards the frontier country , called tlic Bake , and seized the post of the customs , with thc arms , ammunition , nnd provisions which thoy found there . The next morning they intended to march upon
Brisig ' _nella _, but the continual rains had Hooded thc river and rendered it impassable . This gave the papal govenimcnttime to send a strong co-main , composed of the Swiss guards , carabiniers , and customhouse guards , to meet them . On the 23 th , in the morning , a muskct-shot fired from an advanced post warned the insurgents that the troops were advancing from the direction of Faenza to surprise them . Thc patriots immediately took up their arias and fell upon the soldiers , who were abunt . to beat a retreat , when a hotly of pontifical volunteers , coming up from Brisigheila , attacked them in flank . The band thereupon retired upon the mountains of Apcrano and San Caseiano , by Lavadola . In this affair it is said thai tlic insur _ rcn _ s
Had one man killed anil four v . _- ouiulcd , and the troops four killed and ten wounded . All the persons abovenamed distinguished themselves , and particularly Count Orestc Biancoli , JLMarizari , and a young man named Joseph _Compcdclli . Two oilier hands , of one hundred each , were formed about thc same time , near Pistoia . one under the command ofthe brothers Culombarriui , of Bologna , who had served iu Spain , anil the other by } . ( . Pivn , of Aloilen . _i . Several young Tuscans of _distinguished families formed part of these two bands , whieh entered the province of Bologna near the baths of Bella Porretta . Cardinal GSzzi , legate of Forli , caused eighteen persons of that town
to be arrested , and ordered all the troops to be kept within thc barracks . In fhe affair of llimini , on the 23 rd , there was a sanguinary conflict between ihe patriots and the carabiniers , in wliich both sides reckoned many ki ' . led and wounded . Wc have just learned that _Bagnacarrella and _Hussi , in thc province of Ravenna , made movements on the 27 th . The sound of cannon has been heard in the direction of Ravenna . Weave also informed that troops were sent off to Rimini , where they arrived on the 27 th , in the morning . The insurgents had evacuated thc _^ town , to continue their proceedings in the _\ I _ n _>_ i __ 3 nnd in tho _AinLi-i . i' '
' J'he Augsburg Gazette says that tlie Archduke Frederick of Austria , on learning the _disLui-b . inccs at Rimini , sent three ships of war from Trieste to the coast of Romngna _, lo prevent the escape of Iho insurgents . The Austrian troops , of whom a huge body is assembled on the banks of tlio Po , made no movement on tiie occasion , but they were prepared , ii is said , te eater ihe lloman states , had the insurrection at Rimini not been so promptly put down . Later accounts from thc Itomagnii state tliat tranquillity hai been completely restored at Rimini . Tiic _insurgeufs liad taken the route to B :. rgcsau-Scpukiivo , in order to reach Leghorn , where they hoped to _cmbarJ :. In Tuscany , a party of 100 men were forced to lay down their * arms , and they have been sent to Roea St . Casiano . Later _iN j : ws . —A letter from _Flcron ' co . dated Oct .
0 , announces that thc troubles in the Roman states had entirely ceased , and that the insurgents who hail succeeded in escaping from the Pontifical and Austrian soldiers liad dispersed in the Apennines . Closely pursued , tbey had decided upon seeking a last refuge iu Tuscany . A treaty , non-written , but always observed , exists between the Papal Government and the Grand Duke of Tuscany , which orders that extradition in political affairs should bc mutually observed between the two States . The Graud Duke had taken , under this circumstance , amostuulookedfor decision , aud declared that the extradition should not take place , and gave orders for embarking the refugees in a vessel lying in the port of Leghorn , and to land them at Marseilles . This decision had excited the greatest enthusiasm at Florence , and the Grand jJukc , whenever he appeared in public , was hailed bv the warmest acclamations .
GERMANY . The ZciiVEmax . _—AnmnoxAL Import Duties . — IVc take the following from a contemporary : —We regret to announce , on high authority , that the German Commercial League , or Zollverein , has , at its session at _Carlsruhe , resolved , after much discussion , to increase thc import duties on figured goods , " all worsted , " and " worsted and cotton mixed , * ' from 30 dollars per cwt . ( the present amount ) to o 0 dollars per cut . The Diet , however , has not been able to agree to any advance in the duties on cotton , worsted , linen , or yarns , -which , after great controversy on the subject , Tcmain unaltered ; though the question ot the Ally on cotton twist remains open for future decision .
The following is a communication received from a quarter entitled to the highest confidence : — "I am sorry-to have to inform you , that by my latest accounts irom Carlsruhe , coming * from very good authority , it now appears _dolinitely arranged that from the 1 st of January , ISiG , the duties in the German Ou _^ _-bnu _League on all fi gured "cods . ' all

worsted , ' and ' worsted and cotton _rnixtf . l , ' will bc raised from thirty Prussian dollars to fifty dollars per cwt . •* Under this head will fall all Bradford fancy ( roods , such : i 3 _figured Orleans , Alpaccas , Paramatta ' s , . Merinos , Saxonie * , Amazoiiais , Lamas , Damasks , Pantaloon stuffs , Ac . < i : c . ; _s-. n 1 it will be- a serious blow to that important branch of trade , _which three years ago wc were fortunate unough to w . * ird off . "Plaingoods arc not mentioned , and it may therefore be presumed that their rates will not be ' altcrod
for thc present ; neither is anything stated respecting worsted yarns . Cotton twist and linen yarns will not be altered , as tho delegates fiom tha various German states could not agree on , th ? 50 article ? . _Worsted goods will , with few execpti ns , have to pay the samo rate as cotton goods ( j . e . fifty dollars per cwt . ) , and this high duty has almost annihilated the latter branch for tho consunipt o . i within the German states . A few years longer will brin _^ ' the worsted trade to thc same level , thero can De no doubt .
'" P . S . This moment I receive _letters from Frankfort , October 5 th , which fully confirm the above ; piaiu articles remain at 30 dollars ; no alteration in the duties on cotton , worsted , and linen yarns . Prussia was willing to accede to a duty of 3 dollara 8 groschen per cwt . on cotton twist , which , however , was not accepted by Bavaria . Wurtcmberg , and Baden , who demanded a mueh higher rate . Tbe protocols were left open on this question for later renewed _discission . " Tut . Leipsic Massacre . '—The _Lcipxig _Gazette publishes the official report on the affair at Leipsic in August last . Tiie report stales that Prince John did not order the soldiers to tire upon " tlic people , but it docs not say by whom the order was given . M . Roxgk at _FnAXKrOiiT . — -FitAXKVonT , Oct . 5 . —
Yesterday morning at nine o ' clock M . Ronge , accompanied by MM . Kiclmann and Dnvir . l , his two colleagues in the German Catholic Ghu . 'ch _, arrived here . Tho l ' ratastmit population ofthe place , principally the lower classes , met him outside the town , and formed a procession to escort him to his hotel . At eleven o clock M . Ronge preached in the Reformed German Church , wliich was placed at his disposal by the parish authorities . Thc Senate had taken measures to prevent any disturbance of thc peace on the occasion . After service M . Ronge and his friends returned to their hotel , which is situated in the square where the colossal statue of Goethe is placed . M . Rouge soon afterwards appeared upon tlie balcony
of thc hotsl , and shortly addressed the persons assembled _, lie alluded to the reception he had met with wherever he went , and said that such tokens of _assent and support wore not to be taken as a homage paid to him as . i mnn , as lie had done rothing to merit such honours , hut that it was to be taken as the adherence ofthe people to the new reformation , wliich was now commencing , and of which no man could sec the end . M . Dovial , a young , enthusiastic , and eloquent priest , next _addressed them , and his speech , in which he _inlerJanied allusions of a local character with peculiar effect , especially in regard to Goethe , whose statue was be'bro him , mitde a strong impression on his heavers .
_ill . _KSDEX , _OUTOKKK S . —At _tllG _lilCCtillg Of tllC Chamber of Deputies to-day , several petitions wore presented , demanding the union of thc German Catholic church . The deputy Brockhaus inquired why soiuany foreign literary men had been sent out of the country , to which M . Falkenhoim , the minister ofthe interior , answered that tlic slate could not acknowledge an inherent right in foreigners to reside within the limits of Saxony , lie added , that several foreign literary men had been the object of criminal prosecutions , that others had no passports , and that several were totallv without moans of _existence . The
commission appointed by the first Chamber has just made its report on thc decree of thc government concerning the Gcvman Catholics . Tlie committee is of opinion that the Protestant churches should be given to the German Catholics , and that the clergy should be allowed to celebrate marriages , baptisms , and funerals , hut tbnt tho Protestant registers sliould be the only authorities . These measures wiil not give satisfaction , as the Now Catholics will have to continue to pay the sums raised for tlio lioneiifc of the Catholic church . Itis supposed the Kew Catholics will protest .
UNITED STATES . LranrooL , Oct . ' 1-1 . —The British and "North American Royal mail steam-ship Britannia , Captain Hewitt , arrived in thc Mersey with the usual mails from Canada and the United States at noon to-day , _bringing seventy-three passengers . Thc advices arc of the usual meagre anil unsatisfactory character . The question of war had been universally decided in the negative . It was rumouvc 1 that oilicial relations would shortly be resumed with Mexico . The domestic affairs of tiie United States are relieved fromabsolute
sterility only by the accounts or the Mormon disturbances . A _littlo excitement had been got up by the bursting of the boiler of thc steamer Dayton , at Arkansas , with soldiers on board , just arrived from New Orleans . Most of the troops hud been landed , or the consequences would have been more fearful . Between thirty and forty persons ffcro on board ; eight persons were killed on the instant , and seventeen wounded , several of whom were not expected to survive . The steamer , which was an old one , sank iu deep water .
Tin : Axti-Rext _Distltuiaxci's . —The number of anti-renters in prison is suid to be from 1550 to 400 , and from 73 to 100 will bc indicted for the murder ot Steele , tlie sheriff ' , Tlie rest arc charged with disturbances only , and will bc lined in various sums . The trials are proceeding . _BiiUTAL AXD TXKAMOUS _PERSECUTION OF THE _MoHmonb . —A letter in the St . I / _iiis Republican from the I'ditci" of that paper , dated at Warsaw , September 17 , represents the state of things amohg the Mormons , or rather among the bunds of lawless men who had assumed the title of Anti-Mormons , as most
deplorable . They were carrying fire and iasgot into the Mormon settlements in all directions , and did not confine themselves to tho Mormons only , but laid waste _' the dwellings of all _fhosesitspected of favouring chose fanatics . Down to thc night of Sunday , the Uth . it is stated that sixty houses " nail been burnt down in Adams and Hancock counties . The Anti-Mormons had entered into an extended combination , and announced their determination uot to stop short of the expulsion of every Mormon from Hancock countv , in which isNauvoo ; and it . was apprehended Unit a " co _ i _ iii _ t would result between the two parties .
The Oiiecox Question * . —There has boen another large " Oregon meeting" held at Paris , Illinois , when strong resolutions were adopted , to the effect that not one inch of the territory be given up . Also , " Resolved . —That no portion ofthe North American continent should be subject to the colonization ol tho monarchical g overnments of other countries . " Tits Texas Constitution-. —Another mail from Texas has brought a very important document , being thc constitution of the new state of Texas , that is , « . s one of the states of the United States . In most of its details it resembles the constitutions oi the old stales ; but the following points deserve record : — " There is to bo no imprisonment for debt . " The Legislature of the state ot " Texas is not to charter any bank . ( In this particular it is rather _ultva-denvicvatic . )
• ' No priest or minister of the Gospel is to bc allowed a seat in tlie Legislature . "The Legislature to have no power to emancipate slaves without the- consent of their owner or owners ; and ail owners oi ' slaves to bo paid for thorn by the state , in the event of iheir emancipation . " Curious Political Exposures . —A great excitement had been caused in New York , and , indeed , throughout tho country , by the publication of a pamphlet , by W . L . Mackenzie , a fugitive patriot from Canada , and who was appointed by Mr . Van Ness , late collector of customs at New York , to some office in tho Custom-house in that city . The book consists of various personal letters , addressed by various politicians and private fronds to Jesse lloyt _, who held the colleetorship previous to Mr . Van Ness . The principal letters are from 15 . F . Butler , now
United States district attorney , and thc vdiole boon completel y exposes thc political wire-pulling of the day . " How thc letters came into Mackenzie's possession is a mystery . The treneral impression , however , is that he found them insomcofthc locked depositories ofthe Custom-house , where they were left lor safe keeping by Mr . Ilovt . Jlr . Mackenzie is extensively known " as a distinguished actor in the late Canada rebellion . Legal proceedings have been instituted against him in reference to this publication , of which he avows himself to be the compiler . Mackenzie announces that he has another work in preparation which will be printed , and at the city of Washington , in November , ready to deliver to Congress at tlio opening of the session . The new book is to contain a history of certain leading politicians , and among others ex-President Van liuren and President Polka .
The Hon . J . White , ex-Speaker of tho House ol Representatives , had committed suicide .

Ouseley and Couut Deftaudis _domando'l . tlieir passports from the Buenos _^ _yrean Government , and left the Buenos Ayrean territory on thc 1 st of August . They landed at Monte _Yrteo Oil thc 2 nd , and one of their first steps after their arriving there was to address a manifesto to Sbnor _Santiago _Vasquez , the Monte Vidwin Miuister of foreign affairs , and to cause it to be published i ' or the information of the public . The manifesto sets forth the
attempts made by the British nnd French Governments to establish peace between Buenos Awes and Monte Video . Tho acceptance of their mediation by the latter , and rejection by the former . The manifesto defends thc conduct of the _foreigners who have taken . up arms iu defense of Monte Video insists upon the maintenance of "the perfect and absolute independence ot" Uvuquay ( Monte Video ); " repudiates the charge of ambitious designs _propagated by the partisans of Rosas against Britain and France ; and pledges the British and French Governments " to combat , now and ever , " the domineering and illegitimate influence attempted to be set up by Buenos Avrcs over Monte Video .
Tins manifesto has been followed up by the sei 7 . avc of Admiral Brown ' s _blockading squadron . The " Admiral" himself and the crews of his vessels have been packed off to Bticno 3 Ayres . Tlio French and English squadrons have also established a strict blockade of the Buceo , of Colouia , and of thc other ports in the Monte Vidcan territory through which Oenei-alOribc derives all his supplies , except those of beef , which he obtains bv piundcrimr the cotintrv , and have landed from 1 , 500 to 2 , 000 French and English marines—a force quite sufficient to deprive Oribc of al ! chance either of taking the citv of Monte Video , m * of remains for any length of tiillC ill the Moilte \ _idean territory .

MANCHESTER . A Lr . _cii ; r . K was delivered in the Carpenters' Hall , Garret-road , on the evening of Sunday last , by Mr . James Leach . Subject , "The Social Reform " likely to be accomplish' ( I by the carrying out of thc Cdopovative Land Plan . " Mr . L . was listened to with marked attention by a large and respectable audience . ASHTON . Tea Paiitt . —On Saturday , _thollthiiist ., a public tea party took place in the _JSational Charter Association room _Bt-ntinck-strcct , for the laudable object of rendering somo little assistance to the bereaved and beloved partacr of the patriotic and expatriated Ellis , upon which occasion the commodious , room was tastefully decorated ; with portraits- of many of . the
noble and staunch advocates of thc rights-, of fhe people . At half-past six o ' clock p . in . _upwards of one hundred and lil ' ty persons sat down to a _auhsfcjjva tial tea , with all the necessary et cetcrus : and from tho smiling i ' tvecs and _tl-. e _apparent relish with with which tlicy partook of the good things before them , there can be little doubt hst that they did ample justice . After tea Mr . Christopher Doyle was unanimously elected to the chair , who opened , tho . business- of tlie evening , and concluded by expressing his hope that his hearers would never forget that one . lortidn of their duty , rs democrats , was to aid and support the wives and children of those who were suffering in the cause of man ' s political and soeifd redemption . The evening ' s amusements were of the most pleasing - andgratifying character . Many patriotic songs were sung , and
recitations given , and those who love : ! thc joyous dance had their fair , share ofit . Abont ten o ' clock Mr . William Aitkin , a _thorough going and disinterested advocate of dcmocraticnl principles , appeared upon the platform , and when the chairman had obtained order , wliich was soon accomplished , made a powerful and truly eloquent appeal on behalf of Mrs . Ellis . The sum of fifteen shillings was _subscyIIkmI . Thc amusements wcyc again resumed , and continued until midnight , when a vote of thanks was accorded to the chairman , and thc parties retired highly satisfied with the proceedings . In addition to what has already been collected i ' or Mrs . Ellis , : t is tlio intention " of Mr . Aitkin and a , few friends fo go round the town , and solicit the aid of those who have not ns yet given anything , and there is every reason to suppose that the sum in the aggregate will be handsome .
Ok Siwda y EvK . _raci a second tea party was __ hold in the same room , when about sixty persons enjoyed a comfortable tea , after whicli Mr . Doyle delivered , a lecture upon Co-operation , and the benefits likely to accrue to thc working classes of this country , if thoy would unite heart and soul to carry it iuio practice . The lecturer received the cordial thanks of tho meeting for his services . There is at present a very strong branch of the Chartist Co-operative Land Society held in Ashton . WARWICK . TiVH I .. _wm . —A public meeting was held at the Saracen ' s Head , on the 12 th of October , to discuss the merits of " tlic Chartist Co-operative Land Society . " Mr . 0 . French having been called _tothc chair , brieflv explained the object of the meeting ,
and willed on Mr . II . A . Donaldson ; who , en rising to propose the formation of a branch of that society , desired to express tlic heartfelt gratification it afforded him to see the Chartists of Warwick once more aroused from their apathetic slumber , and he was proud of" that opportunity publicly to express the intense interest he felt in the success of Mr . O'Connor ' s philanthropic views . In reference to thc important subject before the meeting , ho begged to assure them that for many months past lie had cautiously marked thc progress of events , and , after the most careful consideration , he felt most fully convinced that the Co-operative Land Society held out the most certain , and the only available means that coiild be devised to ameliorate the condition of the working _class-. s , and to rescue them from tlic grinding oppression that merciless capital and the cupidity of
its . holders engendered , as well as to relieve them Irom tlic slavish fear of want and destitution which hourly embitters the nauseous draft of the poor working man's life . He would ask every thinking man to inquire , " Is there any movement in thc political , commercial , trading , or religious world of our day , that presents the slightest hope of a bettor condition for him in this generation ; or for the millions who arc toiling from year to year for a bare physical existence ? " For his part he could sec none whatever , save thc one they were mot to consider . Mr . D . thon proceeded to point out tho many advantages proposed by thc Co-operative Land Society * , and having read the rules , recommended tho plan for the adoption of the _nicoiing . The motion was seconded by Mr . W . Clark , and carried unanimously . Several shares were siibscri ' _sdd for , and it wns resolved tbat thc next meetimr should be held at tho Saracen ' s
Head , on tho 19 th instant . MR . CLARK'S TOUR . To tiik Ciiaktist Body . —Friends , —I have had some excellent meetings during the last week—all oi thorn held in furtherance of the Land plan . On Monday , tiic 0 th inst ., I went to " _^
KIM ) _BRJl . NSTlUl , _* and , though the weather was very unfavourable , I had a good meeting , wliich wns held in the large room of one of the inns of the town . Mr . Holloway , a noble and enthusiastic Chartist , was unanimously called to the chair , and opened tiie business with a sensible and business-like speech . I spoke at considerable length on thc importance of om * present movement , and in elucidation of thc scheme . I was listened to attentively , and was frequently cheered during thc delivery of my address . After I had spoken , Mr . F ' ynn _, of Rradford , was introduced , and made a brief but sensible speech . I was very glad to learn
that this gentlcsian was doing _muen good amongst the Carpet Weavers , by inducing them to join thcMntional Trades Union . I am fully of opinion that if able men ' , like Mi * . Fiynn and others , were employed to go through the country and explain ( lie measures propounded by flic late Trades Conference , that much good would be the result . 1 was very * much pleased to learn that Mr . Skelton , of London , wa _.- _- about starling on sneh a mission . 1 _wish him success . There is , I cau assure yon , my friends , plenty of room I ' m' lhe exertions of such men . I enrolled several at Kidderminster , and sold a great number of rules .
COVKSTnV . On Tuesday evening I lectured here in St . Mary ' s Hall , a line gothic building , which was kindly granted by the mayor on thc occasion . My worthy friend , Mr . Parker , Silk Weaver , was at tho hour appointed ( eight o'clock ) to preside over the meeting , which he did in a most satisfactory maimer . The meeting was the most numerous one I ever saw , with thc exception of that called to hear Mr . O'Connor some twelve months ago . I explained thc Land project to them , and tlicy seemed to bc highly satisfied with it . I was informed Hint my address would be tlio cause of inducing many persons to join the Society . There is already a pretty strong branch formed there .
rEiisiionK . This is a beautiful spot , situated in the heart of Worcestershire , in the centre of a purely agricultural district . The town , or village , contains about three thousand inhabitants , all depending upon the farmers and labourers of the . suiTOlimling neighbourhood for their maintenance . 1 reached this place on Wednesday afternoon , for the purpose of attending a meeting at night . There never had been such a thing as a Chartist meeting in the place before , and many of the inhabitants thought that 1 was going there for the purpose of eating them all . A great
meeting was expected , and no doubt the meeting would have been a great one but that thc rain fell as though it never intended raining again , and the consequence was , that thc meeting was not so large as it otherwise would have been . It was a pretty good one , however , and 1 had the satisfaction of converting many of-those who were present to the gospel according to common sense . I reserve the details of this meeting , and the account of what I saw at Pershore for next week , when I will tell you a little of how thc agricultural labourers are treated by the "bull-frog" farmei' 3 , as well as much that you will find to be iiiterestinst on the _small-l' avm system .
_nunniTcn . On Thursday I visited this p lace , famous for tho manufacturing of needles and fish-hooks , and had a meeting iu the evening , held in a splendid room attached to one of the largest inns in the __ town . Mr . W . Parker , tailor , presided on the occasion . 1 entered into the question of the Land , and at the _cloie of my lecture succeeded in establishing a good branch of the Laud Society . nROMSonovE . On Fridav evening I lectured to a very attentive audience in the large room of the _( _Juccn public-house , and had the gratification of establishing a branch of our Co-operative Society , which I have no doubt will co on and prosper . 1 have since lectured at-13 irmiii"l _* ani and at Worcester . I shall lecture here ( Cheltenham ) _to-nk-ht ; _Wotton-under-Edgo to-morrow night ; ami w 11 forwavsl an account of my suece _.--s next week . —Thomas Clark .
