The Diet bu contrasted a low at _Prankfort at tiie x rate of seven per cent . The operations against Fribortr- * , eoameneed on tbe c evening of the llth inst . That evenin ** the Federal ' troops took possession of two Btrong positions not far f irom a _tauiU village of _Fribeurtr , called _Lengiae , and 1 two pieess ef cannon employed by tbe Sonderbuad for 1 their _dafemce were taken .

ITA 1 Y . _ThoBiws from Italy is important . Thi initiative of aa Italian customs' league has beau , _astamed _coujoiatiy by Hedaiont , Ttucany , aud Boras . The Bake ef Modena and the Sin- ; of Naples are expressly invited to _jela it , and an epportaoity istaaltly afforded to the after states ofthe peninsula to concur ta Qui first measure ef Italian nationality . _Adnees from 6 « noa , _t-t * _s * eh come _dswa te the Sth instant , bring report * ef one of the taost magnificent popular ovations ofwhieh that city has been the theatre for a long series of years . The reforms recently made la the _admlalstratlcn of the state by Kins ; Charles Albert have filled the entire population of Piedmont with enthusiasm , and their gratitude almost a-aountad to 4 eliriam . The journey ofj the Xing from Turin to Genoa was one continued trfumgh .
Among tbe innumerable banners which floated _aronad tne Sing , as he mule his promenade in the evening through the city , oue was especially noticed . It wat tbe famous standard captured from tha Austrians bythe Genoese in 1716 , aad was on this occasion borne by the Marquis George _Doria . We have received _aeeeunts from Modena , of the 7 th instant , wbich state that tbe _Modeaesa troops entered tiie territory of Fivzzsane on the Sth instant . It vrill be recollected that tMiis a portion of the _teritorfesef tfee Grand Bake of Tuscany , whicb , b y the terms _« f the treaty of Tienna , pus to the Poke of Modena oa the succession of the Grand Dake to the dukedom of Lucca . The inhabitants ef _Fivizxaaa had protested against being handed over to the Dnke of Modena , whose authority they detest . It was reported that oa tbe invitation of ihe Duke of _tfodena , the Austrian _trotps had entered tke Modenese states , in order to leave the troops of the dnke free to act against Flvizzaao .
Letters from Naples ol the 8 th mention an _enftile at Messina , aad conflicts between the troops and ths populace . This was attributed to the despair and rage of the people under the persecutions of ths infamous Delcarretto , the minister of poliee .

Two men were observed to run off in contrary directions , but the darkBess prevented them from being _reeofpilsed . Fnazaxa T . _Aaneuuas . —It was at eight o ' clock ia the _eveniag that tha president was returning to bis domicile , situated at tha end of St Anne-street , and almost toncbln- ; St Anne's Church . The night teas densely dark , and he was preceded by aa orderly bearing a lantern . Tliey were walking en ia silence , when the president suddenly made a remark oa the darkness , and said
how easy it would be for a mau to _attaekthen without beincpercdved . These prophetic words were the last _tfiat passed bis lips . Almost at the same moment two tall figures wrapped up ia cloaks passed the soldier . Oa arriving near tbe president , one of them exclaimed Ten !

Another account states , that one of the men _nmaiasd in the distance , whilst the other seized tho -rictltn by the throat frith hi * lift hand and blew his brains out with tke other . A mysterious silence prevailed daring this tragic act .
The boldness of the act will be doubly wondered at wben it is known that only a few hundred yards higher up there is a guard-house , and the regular _seatriet before the castle . Tbs orderly seems to have betn so taken by surprise as not to bave been capable of doing anything . Tbe report ofthe pistol was heard distinctly fn many parts of tbo town . A sentinel on dnty at tbe castle , wbicb is situated on aa eminence , saw the flash of the pistol . Tha armed force was on the spot in a moment _^ but the corpse ofthe murdered mau was all they found—all clue to the murderers was iavain . AU tiie gates were immediately closed , aad all persons in the street arrested .

The folio-ring it taken front tht American accounts ot the capture of Mexico 7—After Chapaltepee bad beta triumphantly carried , Generals Bravo and Houterde , besides a bost ef officers of different grades , were taker-prisoners ; over 1 , 108 _noneommis-ioned officers and privates ; all tho cannon and _a-aaunition were also takes , aad a crowd of fugitives were _soania fall flight towards the different works wbich commaaded the entrances tothe city , and the Americans at once were in _hotanrsnlt .
_Seatral gait-nan , supported by G « n . Smith ' s brigade , took the road by the Chapaltepee aqueduct towards the Belea gato and the Ciudadela ; 6 ea . Worth , _supported by Gen . _Cadwallader ' s brigade , advanced by the San Cosmo _aquedoct towards the garita of that name . Both routs ware cut up "by ditches and defended by breastworks , _barrieadas , aad strong works of every _descriptien known to military self nee ; but one defence after another was overcome , and by nightfall every work to the city ' s edge was carried . General Quitman ' s cammaud , after the rout at Chapultta-c _, waa the first to encounter tbe enemy ia force . Mid way between the
former and the Belen Gate , Santa Aana had constructed a strong work - but this was Bt once vigorously assaulted by Gen , Quitman , and aided by a Sank fire from two gun * , which Gea Worth had ordered to approach as near &« pes-ib ' e , frem the Saa Cosmo read , tbe enemy was again ranted , aad in fall flight . They again made a stand from their strong _ftrtificatioas at and near the Belea Gate , opening a tremendous fire net only of round shot , grape and shell , but of musketry ; yet Gen . Quitman baldly advanced , stormed and carried tbe works , although at great loss ; aad then _erary point on that side _« f the city was in tht possession of the
Americans . Meanwhile , Central Worth was rapidly advancing upoa Saa Cosmo . At the English _boryiog-ground tht _entmias had constructed a strong work . It was defended by infantry ftr a short timt _. but could not resist the as-Halt . The affrighted Mexicans soon fled to another line of works nearer the tity , aid thtu General "forth was in possession of the entrance to Saa Cosmo . At bis men advanced towards tht garita , the eatmy opened a heavy fire of musketry fromthe bouit tops , as well as of grape , canister , and shell from their batteries , thus sweeping the street completely . At _tAisjuaeture the old Monterey game of borrowing and dig-log through tht hence * was adopted . Tbe Americans , as dark was sotting in * had
dug and mined their wa ; almost op to the guns af the enemy , and , after a abort struggle , they . wire completely routed and driven , witk the loss of everything . The command of the city by the Saa Cesmo route was attained . During the night General Quitman commenced the work of throwing up tbe breastworks aud erecting batteries , with the iattntloa of opening a heavy cannonade uptu the Cindadela with tht first light on the morning ef the 14 th . At ten o ' clock at night . General 'Worth _eidiieu a _W-ponnflei and a lO . lneh mortar to be brought up to the garita , or gate of San Cesmo , and having ascertained the bearings and distance of the grand pfaxa and palace , at ence opened upoa those points . The heavy shells were heard to explode in the very heart of the city .
At a little after midnight , _llajer _"falndos , accompanied by two or three members of tbe mnalcipal council cf tht city , arrived at General Worth's _headquarters , and ia great trepidation informed bim that Santa Anna aod his grind army had fled , and that tktyj-rished at once to surrender the capital . They ware referred to tht commander-in-chief , and immediately started ftr Tacubaya ; but in the mean time , the firing upoa the town ceased . On the Utb , at seven o ' clock , General Scott , with his staff , rode in end took quarters in the national palace , on entering which General _Scttt at once named General Quitman governor of _Hexieo .
After Geueral Bravo had beea taken prisoner , and Santa Anna had abandoned tbe capital , tbe latter Issued a decree bearing date September lt . In this he premises that he designs to continue the campaign : that to do so and retain executive authority are quite incompatible , as the executive government _shenid reside in the centre ofthe republic . Wishing to avoid this evil , and to pro--ride for the permanency of tht government , let what may betide _, he _rcs ' gnt the Provisional _Prtsidtncy of the Re public , and orders that ths executive authority shall be vested in the President of the Supreme Court ( Senor Fena y Fena ) assisted by General Htrreraaad General Alcorta—the latter ia placo of Q _eneral Bravo . A second article ofthe decree fixes upon _Queretaro as the seat of _gevernmeatfocthe nation .
Later _ntwi represents _Firtdes as being mixed np in some schema or conspiracy to establish a monarchy ia Mexico . Mr Trist is recalled . Tht position of General Taylor is likely to be a precarltus one , a Mexican rising having taken _placa on the _Rit'Grande , extending from tbat river tothe Sierra Madre . General Urrea was said to'be at the head of twelve thousand men . The Mexican _CongratB was to meet at Queretaro on the 5 th Nov . Assassinations of American soldiers were Tery _freauent At Mexico , andit wss _bellsv-d _tkat an organised plan of assassination had been matured .
The total of Americans killed and wounded in the battles ofthe Mexican war , up to the present time , er to our latest dates , is estimated at 4 , 800 ; and an equal numberis the estimate frtm skirmishes , missing , and sickness . Truly a fearful aggregate l Ths Execotiok af he Axiiicsr _Dbibstsss . —We take the following report of this horrible massacre from tbe _Avterhan Star . - — 'On tbe _morniag of tke _Oth were hung at San Aigel sixteen deserters firem the American army , who had taken np arms against their _gorcroment . Immediately after , soma ten or twelve were whipped and branded on the cheek with the letter D . Riley , the chief of the St Patricia crowd , came in for a share of the whipping and _brandiag _, aad right well was the former laid on by a Mexican muleteer , General Twiggs
deemed it too much bononr _tatha Ms . " or ta be flogged by BS Ameri-Aa _SAldler . He _dll not _atand tke op-nation with that stoicism we expected . Tbs next morning four other * ofthe sama company wert executed at Mix . esse , snd on the 18 th thirty more were bung upon one gallows at the _Kima plate . The thirty were brought oat forexecntion abont the same time that Chapaltepee was being stormed , and Colonel Harney , pointing to that place , told then _thatth-y shonld lire long enongh to gee the American flag hoisted upon the battlements of that fortress , and uo longer . In a few moments our colours were raised , and after they were shewn to them they were launched into eternity l The oltrgy at San Angel pleaded hard to save ths lives ot these sun , but it _waiia _vala .

Sanatory Refohh : /* -During the past week Doctor Bachoffner bas been engaged in ( _kliroring , at tbe ' Royal Polytechnic _Irfst ' tut ' _oi * , a lecturt on the ' Laws of Nation , as applicable to the Sanatory _Measurr 9 . ' The learned professor commenced this important sabject with a number of remarks ; such aa the composition of the atmosphere , the beatin * ef ths heart and the action of the lungs , from all of whieh he deduced the self-evident fact that the inhaling of er and ever again ofthe tame air must be mostlnjariotuand obnoxious to the health of _iHdividualB . Iho doctor then exhibited numerous interesting experiments , by which be proved that the
air when once passed through the lungs was unfit to ba inhaled again ; he then proceeded to the subject of ventilation , remarking first , that thc subject of drainage , though equally important , was one tbat uepended solely upon the legislature . Upon Ihe question of ventilation the professor touched at some length , and insisted on the neceBBity ofthis measure to every individnal . He instanced a variety of plans for the purpose of ventilation—more particularly one by Br Arnott , both for rich and poor—as from'their simplicity and inexpensive mode wonld be in the reach of all classes . The doctor concluded his admirable lecture by reading extracts from several works , _ftllgf wh { y & fully _COUGmed fill

THB REFORM MOVEMENT JN FRANCE . ( Jrom our Parii Correspondent . ) j When , dnrine the last sessien ef the Legislative C ' n- _-mher- , M . £ . de Girardin had hroaght to ! light those _aumewiis find scandalous facts of corruption which h « thouebA _woulaoTprVhTowthegoveinxatnt * , when , after all , the goimmttii Md maintained themselves against the storm ; when ind _celebrated Two Hundred and Twenty-fire declared themselves ' satisfied' as to the innocence of the ministry _, _ all seemed to be orer , and the Parliamentary Opposition , towards the close o f tba session , fell back into the same impoteney aud lethargy which they had insni * fested _atthebaginnim » , But all was not over . Thoug h
Messrs Rothschild , Fould , Fulchkon , and Go . were satisfied , the people were not , nor was a large portion of the middle classes . The majority of the French bourgtoisie , especially those of the second and third rank , could not bat see that the present class of _electors became more and more tho obedieat servants of _asuiall number of banker ? , 8 _teck-jobber 8 , railway ' speculators , large manufacturers , landed and mining proprietors , whose interest was _iheonlyin'eroit cared for by the government . They saw that there was no hope for them ever to regain the _nosition in the Chambers which , since 1830 , they had been loring more and more every day , unless they extended the suffrage . They knew that electoral and parliamentary Reform , was a dargerous experiment for them to
try ; bnt what could they do ? Seeing that ihe naute _^ na-icB , the lords of _Pavis Exchange , bought up the government and both the Chambers ; teeing their own interests openly trampled opon ; they were obliged either to submit patiently , and await humbly and quietly the day when the encroachments of the ruling money lords would make them bankrupts , or < o risk parliamentary Reform . They preferred the latter . The _Opposition , of all shades , therefore , united , some four months ago , in getting up a demonstration in favour ef Electoral Reform . A public dinner was arranged and took place in July , at the Chateau-Rouge bail-rooms , at Paris . All fractions of Reformers' were
represented , _acd the _aa'embly was rather mixed ; but the Democrats , having been tbe most aotive , evidently predominated . ' They had made it a condition of their assistance , thatthe king ' s health should not be drank , but be replaced by a toast in favour of tbo sovereignty of tbe people ; the committee knowing well that ia the most democratic town of France they could not get tip a decent _deraonstratior without the Democrats , were obliged to comply . If I recollect rightly , yon gave , at the time , a full account ofthe banquet , whioh was in every respect more like a demonstration of the strength , both in number and intellect , of democracy at Paris , than anything else .
The Journal des Behats failed not to raise a terrible outcry abunt this banquet . ' . What ! no toast to the king ? and this toast not omitted by negligence , by want of a sense of propriety—no , this omission put as a condition for tbeir support by part ofthe _gettersup 1 Why , what pretty company thia calm and peaceful M . _Duvergier de Houranne—this moral-force , monarchical M . Odillon Barrot have got into 1 i Why this is not mere republicanism—this iB revolutionism , _physical-torciam , socialism , utopianism , anarchism and communism ! Ah , but , gentlemen , we know you —we have had samples of your bloody deeds , we bare proofs of what you wo contending for I Fifty _, _years aeo , gentlemen , job called yourselves the club of the Jacohinsl '
Next day ' s National replied to the fierce and furious vituperation of the furiously moderate paper by a host oi quotations from Louis Philippe ' s private journal , written in 1791 and 1793 , where every day ' s note of tbe then' Citizen £ _galite > junior' commenced with the werds : To-day I was atthe Jacobins '—* Today I took the liberty of saying a few words at the Jacobins which were warmly applauded '— ' Today I was called to the office of door-keeper at the Jacobins , ' Ac - •¦ . . The central committee of the Opposition had invited their friends in the country to imitate the example given by the metropolis , m getting up every where similar banquets ia favour of Reform . This was done accordingly , and a great number r f Reform
dinners were held in almost all parts of France . Bnt : not everywhere- the same union of all fractions of Refermera could be made to prevail . In a great number of the smaller towns the middle class Liberals were strong enough to carry the king _' shealthbeing drank , by which the "Democrats were excluded . In other localities they tried to make it pass in the shape Of a toast : — "The constitutional king , and tbe ( Sovereignty of the people . ' This being not yet sufficient to the Democrats , tliey went en sbuf Q ng , and replaced the' constitutional king' by tho' constitutional institutions , ' among which royalty , of course , was tacitly comprised . The great question new agitated among the provincial Liberals is r whether they are to give up even tbis , and to resign aU attempts at carrying the king ' s health in whatever shape or disguise it be , or whether they are te separate openly from the Democrats , who , in that ease , would get np separate and competing banquets . For the democratic party
insist upon the original agreement , that the king be not mixed up at all with the affair , and if in one case the National has been wavering a little , the party of the Meforme stand firmly on the side of republicanism . In all the large towns the Liberals have been forced to give way , and if in the localities of lefser importance they have carried the king's health , it is because such banquets cost a great deal of money , and , therefore , the people are naturally excluded from them . On the occasion of the banquet of _Bar-le-Duc , the Reforme says : Whoever would take sueh demonstration aa a sample of the state of publie opinion in Franee _, would be very much mistaken indeed : they are got up by the middle classes onlv , and the people are entirely shut out > from them . This agitation , if it be confined to the limits of the Bar-le-Duc banquet , will vanish like all ; bourgeois movements ; like the Free * Trade movement , which after & few hollow speeches died away very soon . '
The first large banquet , after that of Paris , was held at Slrasburg , inthe beginning of September . It was rather a democratic one , and a working man , at the close of it , proposed a toast to the organisation of labour , which term , in France , expresses that which in England the National Association of United Trades are trying to carry out ; vi ., the freeing of labour fromthe oppression of capital by carrying on manufacturing , agricultural , and other purposes , for the account , either of the associated working men themselves , or of the people at large , nnder a democratic government . Then came the banquets of _Bar-le Due , a loiirgeois demonstration , finished by the Mayor-proposing the health of the Constitutional King ( very constitutional , indeed ); of Colmar , _Rheims , and Meaux , all of them entirely dominated by the bourgeoisie , who , in those secondary towns , always have it all their own
way . - But the banquet of Saint Quentin , again , was moro or less democratic ; and that of Orleans , in the last days af September , was , from _beginning to end , a thoroughly democratic meeting . Judge ofit by the toast to the working classes , responded to byM . Marie , one ofthe most celebrated barristers of Paris , and a democrat . He commenced his speech in tbe following termfc _* . — 'To the working _men—totbOSB men , always neglected and forgotten , but always faithful to the interestsef their country , always ready to die for its cause , be it in defending ; their native land against foreign aggression , be it in guarding bur institutions , when menaced by inward foes ! To those ; from whom we demanded tbe days _cfJuly , and who gave them tons ; terrible in their action * , generous in their triumph , resplendent with courage , probity , and disinterestedness ! ' and concluded tlie
toast in these words : 'Liberty , 'equality , fraternity ! It ia characteristic that the Orleans banquet was the only one at which we find it stated that covers were reserved for the representatives of the working people . The banquet of _Culoramiers , Melun , and ' _Cosne _, again , were mere bourgeoisie gatherings . The 'Left Centre , ' the middle-class Liberals of tho _ConstitotionneJ aud Steele , amused themselves in listening 10 the speeches ot M . M . Barrot , Beaumont , Drouin de L'huys , and such like retailors of reform . At Cosne , the democrats openly declared against tho demonstration , because the king ' s health waa insisted upon . The same narrow spirit prevailed at the banquet of La Charit 6 , on the Loire . In return , tbe Reform dinner of Cbavtres , was thoroughly democratic . No toast to the _kitlgioasts for Electoral and Parliamentary Reform upon the largest base , for Poland and Italy , forthe organisation of labsur .
This week banquets will take place at Lille , Valenciennes , Avesnes . and throughout the Department of the North generally . Tliose of Lille and _Valeneiennes , at least , will probably take a decidedly democratic turn .

Thb Reform Movement Jn France. (Jrom Our...
! But what , wiilyou ask , are the reforms ' J- _^ _" _^ There are as many different systems _ofrefo , rn _'«»' there are Bhades of Liberals and Radicals . x *~ least thing asked for , is the extention of tke Sum % ' to what is called the capacities , or what you , in j England , would call the learned professions , even , if I thej d * net _Tjay the _£ < M Ctaw » _t . _f'inwt _texas , ** chwU ( make , at present , a man a voter . Then the Liberals ' have some other propositions , more or lees in common with the Radicals . These are : — 1 st . The extension of the incompatibilities , or the declaring of certain govimment offices to be incompatible with the iunotieng of a representative . The government bare , at present , more than 150 oftheir _subordiaato employers in the Deputies , all of whieh may , at any moment , be cashiered , and are , therefore , entirely dependent upon the Ministry .
' 2 nd . The enlargement of some electoral districts , some of which are composed of less than 150 voters , who are , therefore , entirely ruled through the influence of the government upon their local and personal interests . 3 rd . The electing of aU deputies ef a Department in a full pjeeling of all the electors , assembled atits principal town , by which means local _intereats ' are intended to be more or less submerged in the common interests of the whole Department , and thus render nugatory the corruption and influence efthegovernment .
Then , tbere are proposals for lowering tbe amount of the voting qualification in different degrees . The most Radical of these propositions is that of the National ' , the paper of the Republican small tradesmen , for extending the sufirftgo to all men belonging to the National Guard . This wonld give the rote to the entire class of small tradesmen and shopkeepers _, and extend the suffrage in tbo same degree aB thi Reform Bill _hna done in England ; but iho consequences of such a measure would , in Franco , be much more important . The small bourgeoisie in this country , are so mueh oppressed and st * _ue _» zed by the large capitalists , that they would be obliged to have recourse to direct aggressive measures against the _moneylords , _aasoon as they get the suffrage . As I said in an article I sent you some months ago , they
would be carried further and further , even against their own consent ; they would be forced either to give up the positions already won , or to form an open alliance with the working classes , and that would , sooner or Jater , lead to the ' Republic . They know this in seme measure . Most of them support Universal Suffrage , and bo does the _National , whieh goes for the above measure only , as far as it is considered as a preliminary step in tbe road of reform . Of all Parisian daily papers , there if , however , tut ono which will not be satisfied with anything less tban Universal Suffrage , and which , by the term * Republic , ' understands not merely Political Reforms , whieh will , after all , leave the working classes as miserable as before- _^ but Social Reforms , and very definite ones too . Ibis _paperisthe Reforms .
The Reform movement is , however , not to be considered aB the totality of the agitation now going on in France . Far from it ! At all these banquets , be they Liberator Democratic , the middle classes wero predominating ' ; that of Orleans was the only one in whieh working men took part . The movement of the werking people is _goins on , Bide by side , with these banquets , silently , underground , almost invisible , for every one who does not take the trouble ef looking after it . But it is going on-more lively than ever . The government know this very well ., They have given their permission to all these middle class banquets ; but when the typographic working men of Paris , in September , asked for the _permission to hold their annual banquet , which , up to the present time , they had held every year , and which was
in ro manner of a political character , it was refused to them . ; The government are so afraid of the working people , that they do not allow them the slightest ' liberty . They are afraid , because the people have entirely given up all attempts at insurrection and rioting . The government desire a riot , they provoke it by every _means _^ The police throw out small bomb-shells filled with incendiary papers ; which , by tbe _explon ' on of tho shell , _are spread all over the streets . A trades' affair inthe Rue St Honoie , _wasprofited by , to make the most brntal ' _attacks upon the people , in order to provoke them to riot and violence . Tens of thousands assembled every evening during a fortnight ; they were treated in the most infamous manner ; they w « re on the very
brink of repelling force by force ; but they held out and no pretext for more gagging laws are to be forced from tbem . And tbink , what a tacit understanding , what a common feeling of wbat was to be done , at the moment , must have prevailed ; what an effort it must have cost to the people of Paris , to submit to snch infamous treatment rather than try a a hopeless insurrection . What an enormous progress this forbearance proves- in those very same working men of Paris , " ffho seldom went into tke streets , without battering to pieceB everything before them ; who are accustomed to insurrection , and who go _inte a revolution jast as gaily as tbey go to the wineshop ! But if you weuld draw from this the conclusion that the revolutionary ardour of the people is
decreasing , yeu would be quite mistaken , " On the contrary , the neeessity ofa revolution , and a revolution more thorough-going , more radical by far than the first one ia deeper the-i wt _Mt'fej _tift VJpTni * 0 R people here . But they know from the experience of 1830 , that mere fighting will net do ; thatthe enemy once beaten , they must establish measures that will guarantee _treatability of their conquest ; that will destroy not only the political , but the social power ef capital , that will guarantee their social welfare , along with their _political strength , And , therefore , they very quietly await thoir opportunity , but , in the meantime , earnestly apply thi-mselves to the study of those questions of social economy , the solution ofwhieh will show what measures alone can
establish , upon a firm basis , the welfare of aU . Within a month or two , six thousand copies of-M . Louis Blanc ' s work on' The Organisation of Labour , ' have been sold in the workshops of Paris , and you must consider , that five editions of this book hnd been published before- They read likewise a number ef other works upon these questions ; they meat in small numbers of from ten ta . twenty , and discuss the different plans propounded therein . ' They talk not much of revolution , this being a thing admitting of no doubt , a subject upon which tbey one and all agree ; and when the moment will have arrived , at which a collision between the people and tbe
government will be inevitable , down they will be inthe streets and _tquares at a moment ' s notice , tearing up tbe pavement , laying omnibuses , oarts , and coaches , across tbe streets , barricading every alley , making every narrow lane a fortress , and advancing , in spite of all resist _, ance , from the Bastile to the Tuileries . And then , I fear , most of the reform banquet gentry will hide _themseivos in tbe darkest corner of , their bouses , or be scattered like dead haves before the popular thunderstorm . Then it will be all ovor with Messrs Odillon { Barrot , de Beaumont and other Liberal thunderers , and then the people will judge them quite as severely as they now judgo the Conservative governments .

isience of such a frightful state of things than I do .

Human nature epuld _notalways brock what those people have been _compelled to endure . The very worm tkat crawls the earth will turn on Its ' persecutors ; and why should men , christians , at d brothers , be ex pected to remain licking for ever the r « _morseless hand that pics them in the duBt ? People may rant and rave abont the bloody propensities ofthe 'Wild Hirish . ' _Othera will ascribe these things to the ' spirit of Popery , ' and the teaching of political priests . All wrong , my friends ; the Celt may be warm in his impulses , and rash in his moments of excitement , bnt he is not
naturally a Thug or an asfassin . The priests do not Jove Saxon land , nor cbetiah iffection for British laws , nor those by whom theso laws are dispensed—yet they do hot preach the doctrine of retaliation . I never heard a Catholic prieBt adopt for his text ' an eye for an eye , and a tooth for a tooth '—nor is there any reservation in favour of those who spill _Sassanagh or'heretic blood ! Ne ; 'tis the tyranny of man against his fellows that drives the Irish peasant to desperation . 'Tis oppression whets his appetite for blood ; and ' tis deep misery alone that nerves his arm , when he clutches the pike or wares the firebrand over the house or haggard of his destined victim . Little he cares how that hardhearted _aoent . or this merciless . bailiff ' says his
prayers . ' He only feels that himself and his children are the victims oftheir capacity or their neglect ; and though , as it often happens' hia tyrant may be' one of the buld stock , ' kefeelathe lash not the less acutely ; nor are his aspirations for vengeance less fervid and deep-rooted . And these things wili continue . They know , little of Ireland or her situation , who imagine that coercive measures , mart s * law , military encampment , or police patrols , will restore peace to a torn and distracted land , er lull into rest the wild spirit which bas been latterly evoked . A proclamation _, or as it is dubbed— ' An Admonitory Address , ' to the people of Limerick , Clare , Tipperary , and other counties of Ireland , has been issued by Ilis Excellency Lord Clarendon , on the Otb . which is ex .
pected to arrest the progress of insubordination in the districts referred to , and make the outcast peasant submissive to , ; if not contented with , whatever injustice and indignities to which he may he subjected . But we weuld fain warn the government that this will never do ; and we would impress upon tbem the fact , that more substantial , more beneficial means , must be put into requisition , or matters will every day' mend _wone' in Ireland . Riot Acts will not satisfy the cravings of hunger , nor will an additional poliee force , quartered on __ an already exhausted country , coax perishing millions into servile submission to tbe caprices aud persecutions of heartless landlords and fleecing agents . Persecution must cease . The depopulating system must he abandoned .
The people must be fed . Employment must be found lor the able-bodied millions , ard an efficient provision made for those too old or too _inSrm to partake of the benefits of usetul employment . The _peasant must not be hunted from his cabin to die in the pestsbip _, er linger out a tew miserab ' e years amid the swamps and icebergs of Canadian pine-wood " . The Irishman must be allowed to' live' on his own native sod , and he must ' be made to feel that he has an interest in the peace and prosperity of the country , and that everything in creation was not intended for the sole luxury and gratification of his relentless taskmaster . Let government adopt these principles , or if the present Ministry find themselves incompetent to set about thia Reform , let them
giVe way to . others—for men can still be found amongst Britons , able and willing to save the country from the perils with which she . threatened . Let them treat poor Paddy as a fellow subject—as a brother , and let them forget that his blood is of the hot , wild stream ofthe Celt , and that when hegoe 3 to pray , he invokes the ¦ Blessed Mary , ' and kisses the crucifix or'Lamb of God . ' What need honest _Englishmen care what branch of the great human family we belong to ; and if the peasant be dainn'd for his peculiar _religious tenets , John Bull will not be responsible _before heaven , - Give us justice ; we ask not charity ; we crave not your _indulgence . Treat ns as men and as brothers , and Irish crime will exist no longer , nor will our fair land continue ( as it unfortunately may
be termed to-dar , ) ' afield of blood . ' The last week bas been a busy time in Dublin , Meetings , _conolayes , talking!—Och , indeed , if talking could be of benefit to Ireland , there would not be so happy a people on tho face of the earth . The newspapers will give you full particulars abo » t these assemblies , what they did , and what they did not ; but they will , not tell you ofthe indignation of those who trusted in those men , and expected that they would , at least , exhibit a hold front , speak like men , zealous for the welfare of their country , and show to the world that the tiine had arrived when , flinging prejudice and minor feelings to the winds , they would demand justice for their common land , and insist that their fellow-countrymen should not be left ane
ther year , pining in the pangs of hunger , or exposed to the thousand ills nnder which they have groaned for ages . But this they did not do , They met and bandied compliments , and _talbedof tenant right , and differed about straws , and _peparated , and mn nothing but made themselves ridiculous ; and left the fools wbo reposed truBt in them , cursing their stupidity and ignorance , and praying that fate or providence might send a man of mind and spirit amongst the millions , who would show them the read to liberty , and lead them on it honestly and fearlessly , and desert not the sacred cause until victory would be the _rCCOBJ . pence bf honest daring , or a bloody bed be spread where men might lie down in honour , and sleep in peace for ever . fin _Wni ! a « i * 'tv * l- > eV _IVinwn wMMn _ . _« . _A _« l _M e _ttr
