The Journal des Bibats continues fe assail the proceedincs directed to tffect a reform in the electoral and rcprescutative system . Ifc finds in them an arriircpeasee of jacobinism , republicanism , the overthrew of the dynasty of July , and the return of the Iflth of August and 2 nd September . It seems that the day appointed for the reform banquet at Mons ha ppens to bi the 10 th of August The DSklU ihinks or says that this day was selected to indicate the character snd real ' objects ot . thc party by tbeevent of which it is the anniversary .
The attempt of the' Journal des Debats' to stigmatise the Reform Association as a revival of thn Club of Jacobins , ' has unearthed a certain journal kept by the then Duke dc Chartres , now Kin » of the French , from the month of November 1790 to March 1791 , in which the active and eeaktus par taken by 'Egaiitd fils' ( ashis Majesty was thsa called as a mentor and official of the Jacobin Chsb , under Cflllotd Herboisand Carra , are duly registered and iccorded with the most unequivocai self--sati 3 faetidn sn the first per , on . _ It appears from this that his Majesty wss an assiduous attendant at fe meetings th at he esserly seized every favourable occasion of taking a part in itsldebates ; that be was elected one Of itscoasOTS ( an official inspector ?) that he propose * or seconded many of its leading members , of whose patriotism he was , ss he said , assured , Ac ., & ?

The Prefect , together with toe principal functionaries of the department , in vain endeavoured to prevail en him to refuse to asast at a demonstration oreanhed-by the Opposition .

fes , gentlemen , the present situation of afiaire appears to us dan ^ sriKs aud lamentable . It is with sorrow in her heart , sad ablush ef imlignation on fcer brow , that France has been for some time witaeaitg the cancer which is consuming her . It is with terror that the nation contemplates aii the evil caused by the contagion of per&icious examples and peroicicos maxims . A nation nay csdme innumerable disasters , see her armies defeated , her fleets destroyed , her nuances exhausted , and her commerce annihilated . These , no d-jubt , are severe trials , but they do not constitute disgrace . Waterloo was a catastrophe for Fiance , feut Waterloo is not a stain on our national history , for tLere was no uiEkouour in contending alaae against all Europeand in closing
, by one day of reverse Lalf a century of ykiones . Moreover , a nation may take its revenge for a lest battle- It may rccompose its army , rebuild it ? citadels , reconstruct its navy , revive its commerce and uiancfaetcres , and a few rears are sufficient to r estore hs 6 lrcu ; 4 th . France was in that position in ¦ ifc-j O , prepared to re-cair . ffiencetbeyi ^ aiitic straggles oithe republic sndof the empire , if any foreigner sad dared to lay his hand on her , or if he had oared to prevent the accomplishment ofa « reatact of popular sovereignty and of national justice . But , gentlemen , what is mere Eerions than a batttle lest , or any material disaster , h the moral decline of a nation and the extinction of public spirit in her breast . It Is the obiivion of her providential
misfion . and of the part she was destined to act in human affairs . A nation commits ^ icide when it sue * cesda in sappi-cssing within itself every noble aad £ 6 nerou 3 sentiment , and in substituting ' sensual ap-P « ites for theiastinct of naticnai grandeur , the wor-« Hp of tbe golden calf for the adoration of glory , the tiiitst of honours for the Jove of liberty , sellishness wrdevotedneKS , thcinaterialism of the preseist forthe Meal of ihe fninre , the cowardice of the slave for the < % iity cf mac , the hmniliJy of the subject forthe y ^ i independence of tke citizsn . And when those * 1 io possess ihe power to contend against social
discrgiuisation io .

SPAIN . The Esputador states that General Espartero having always refused to receive the arrears of his salary as Regent , until all the other state employes were paid , there remained ^ sum of 90 , 000 dollars due to him when he was obliged to quit Spain , and that since then he bas made no demand for the money ; but that the present government , having heard ibat hi 3 resources are not sufficient for the maintenance of his dignity , has ordsred 25 , 000 dollirs to be paid to him as an instalment .
The Spanish government not only approves of General Pavia ' s reprisals for the massacre by the Carlists of the fifteen soldiers of the Union regiment near Manresa , but has likewise directed him for the future to shoot tvery prisoner that falls into his hands . This is a incut inhuman and impolitic proceeding , and foreigners will now more than ever feel inclined to ask , whether Africa really begins at the Pyrenees . On the evening of the 5 th six matlnts were executed at Gerona , thus making , with the seventeen shot at Mataro , twenty-three human beings put to death out of retaliation for the Manresa tragedy , leaving i balaRcc of eight victims in favour of Isabel II . But in all likelihood tbe Montersolists will soon square accounts , for they have an-Donneed that for the future no quarter will be given to the troops of the government .
The Madrid corrcspoijijent of the Tkr . es predicts the immediate breakisg trot of the civil war in Navarre ; : — All is ready for tao outbreak ; several Gsnerals of great reputation are already on the frontiers concealed in theaouutainvifeges ; the member * « f the Juntas , and the officers of tae various battalions , are already nominated ; tue refugee oficers , wto had been sent nito the interior of Franee , have simultaaeously left the depots and are making thair way with "variable success to the appointedxendezToss . Some mosey bas arrived , andmore is promised . The harvest te most abundant ,
and whe » it is secured the last impediment to unfurliug tlio banner of war will 'be removed . = 1 will not venture to predict what will be the re 3 nlt -of this contest , so much will depend on the discretion of the Prlcse in whose favour-so momenions u struggle is about to he undertaken . It has been said of tae Bourbons , as it casofthe Stuarts , that expeiience-ie barren for them , that they neither forget nor learn . Expectations are , however , eEiertained that the Count de 25 ont « nolin will sprove an exception to ibis family Kindness , antfihat the hopes of attaching to his interests the hulk of tfe& > Libera ] party will come in aid of his owe ^ inclination 'to marcli with the ^ nri tof the age .
Another element of snecess to the new outbreak will consist ia the degree of support which will be afforded by the rest of Spain ^ in aid of the -provinces 'which bore the brant of the former civil war . To this question ' Catalonia has already responded , and no docbt exists ^ that Upper and Loner Arragon , Talencia , and the northof Old"Castille , will give to the- ^ Couut de JSontemolin ready and hearty assistance . Despatches ftom ' . he Csptaia-Generalof Anagon , containing others from ihe Alcalde-cf Fraga , & town of 5 , 000 souls , on the ecnfinesof the proviuce of Catalonia and Arragon , and on the river Giaca , anaource the invasion-of a body of from 400 to 500 Cariists . Th ? j ; entered at C o ' clock in the mornicg of the 8 th , under the leaderehipof the chiefs Boaches « nd Sendioa . With the exception Gf 20 or 3 C they were all armed with muskets ,

Their first work was to take possession- < jf the government office * , and seize thewtoleofthepxil ; HdfUB ( l 9 , foT ffhich , howevtr , they cheerfally infi spontaneously gave receipts . ia due and unexceptionable form . They also took pnssessionof the tobacco ond gaupovrder found there . Utberwise , they committed no acts-of violence ; -en the contrary , tthey exhibited much philanthropy , and a love of liberty bejond praise , inasmuch as they opened the , nriEOns and tet some of the captives free , without establishing any very scrupulous inquiry into the causes ef tleir incarceration . In this they even surpassed in compassion-for suffering humanity the Knight of La Mancha with-the galley slaves . Theliberated . efIraga were more grateful-still , as they not-only did not turn on their liberators ,-but took urms cad joined them .
Correspondence from La Grapja adverts to-a treacherous end cowardly attempt againct the life of-General Serrano , which , however , entirely failed . A parcel was received at his house on the previous day , by the mail , of an nnusnally large size , the postage amounting to-SS reals ( 6 s . ) . The Gbseral was out at the time it came , and it appears that = Lis mother had her suspicions eacitedby its Hnusual * iz 3 . General Itos de Glano ,. to whom she spoka on the subject , shared the same suspicions , and it was agreed to cut open the parcel on tbe opposite side to the sesl , when it wasfonnd that under tls-ae or more covers , each-of which was marked "private , there were five' posfcw , ' a species ef explosive compound , so placed that they would have gone off by opening the parcel in the uschI way , and tte intended victim would probably either have t-ten killed , or at least seriously maimed and disfigured .

PECOREES OF 1 OED PAIUEHSIOS ' S -POLICY ! LISBON , Augost 9 . Notwithstanding the ti pe that has elapsed since tke tennkation of the civil strife , no signs as yet hive been exhibited on the Queen ' s part of fulfilling the stipulations of the protocol ; on tie contrary , every possible manoeuvre , however fiiasy or unworthy , is being resorted to to evade compliance with its meet imperative and most important provisions-TheCountof Lavradio , charged by the -Queen wilh the formation ef a new ministry , ias utterly failed in effecting t-Ms ebject , aud has given up the mission indespair ; b « is this a matter of the smallest surprise , aa the individuals to whom he addressed
bimseif , one and ali , insisted , as a prcllminarr measure to their accepting offiee , that the Queen should first revoke certain unconstitutional decrees , the most « b noxious one being the nomination of the Prince Ferdisand to the chief command in tho armv , aa appointment in itself not atene objectionable , but in direct violation of nae of the articles of the charter itself The immediate convocation of the Cortes «< the kingdom wa 3 also made a sine qua non . Now , to aeither of these reasonable concessions to justice or policy woald either the Queen or her husband [ conteat , the prince insisting upon retaining his command , and the Queen being obstinately bent against permitting the elections to proceed . The
consequences have been thattlie efforts of the Count o ' tavradio , to rendtr her Majesty goed service , have been unavailing ; while the pnblic indignation is aroused , and odium falls upon the Queen , her husband , and tha wretched Camarilla who compose this court of Email intrigue . In the meantime , the Gabr&Ms are working night and day , both by means of their organs of the pres ; , sEd by the influence ol th « clubs , to regain their ascendancy . While all this is going on , the present men in office are occapying themselves selely ia feathering their nests at the public cost , andin adding to their already swollen acd ill-golteu fortune ? , by means so infamous , that , if rot a icudal in Portugal , they maj almost be tensed an iuralt to Europe .
^ Scenes of the moat wanion and irritaiing description have been going on in Oporto , and openly countenanced by the authorities , the military governor appointed being the Baron Casal , so diEcreditablj known for his brutality at Braga , where respect wa * paid neither to age nor sex upon the occasion of his entering the town by force , when the place was subjected to two days' pillage .

which nature has planted in a continued chain from Bom Fim to Bom Successo , on the north of the Douro . The cannon ' that lately bristled on these heights have been shipped to tho capital , and Oporto is now to all intents and purposes an open town . So mnch the betier for the British merchants , who have here and at Villa Nova property in manufactured goods and wine to the amount of £ 1 , 500 , 000 sterling , but so much the worse for the Queen ' s government , which has acted in ray opinion in tV . ia case on very limited views . The British merchants , whose goods and wines escaped destruction , as if by miracle , in 1833 and 1847 . are rejoiced to see the theatre of civil war removed from Oporto by the dismantling of its forts , but the Queen should recollect that the second city in tbo kingdom is left without defence . . ^ IM . xn . - .... ^^ t « . ^ . v . ,, i ^
within four days' march of Spain , and the town is open , in case of another insurrection in the Minho , to a dash of the insurgents . The Queen this year has been saved by the protection given in Oporto to the Junta , and tlio waste of tim » which Das Antas allowedthere , instead of marching instantly on Lisbon . On the next occasion the scene of the conspiracy will be laid in Lisbon , and the government bo overthrown before her allies are able to arrange a protocol in London , or march 15 , 000 Spaniards from Madrid . Such an evert is I hope , sincerely , very far distant , but I cannot be indifferent to the various rumours of plots and conspiracies coming from the capital , which lead us shortly to expect an outbreak on the part of tbe Cabrals , to be put down by a more energetic a ovetnent of the Septembristfi .
Just as the mail _* as closing , an arrival from Aneola brought an official account to the government of a very serious and extensive conspiracy at Angola to revolutionise the colony , and place Count BomGnat the head of the government . He and the other prisoners were in the conspiracy , as well as many of the government officers and other residents . The scheme was well laid , and was on the point of becoming successful , when it failed through the fact of one of the conspirators divulging the plan to the authorities . The result was its total failure , and the adoption of measures of considerable severity towards the prisoners and those whose names were denounced as co-conspirators . SWITZERLAND .
Advices have been received from Berne to the lltli mst . A very animated debate had taken place in the diet on the 10 th and 11 th , on tfeo report of the committee appointed to consider the proceedings of the cantons of the league so far as respects the importation of the materiel of war , the construction of entrenchments , and ether works of defence , and the enrolment of troops . The recommendations of tho committee were adopted by a majority of twelve whole cantons and two half ones , being the same majority axactly as that which voted the dissolution oi ; the Sondeibund .
The debate in the diet on the 9 th , 11 th and 12 th , respectine tfee proceedings of the cantons of th leagoe , exhibited a scene -of violence , without any previous example in tbat assemhly . Spcechesmariccd by considerable elcqechce and force were , it is said , < teJivered by several delegates , especially % y M . Luv : ni . the deputy of Tessino ; M . Druey , deputy of Vaud ; and M . Rilliet-Oonstant , deputy of Geneva . Some of the correspondents of tho f reneh journalsat&rmthat if the cantons of tha Socderbusd do not immediately submit to the decision of the diet , ihe federal executive wiU resort to force of arras , and a-struggle between the cantons wfiiensue . Other letters say , however , -that the resolutions of tie diet
will % e submitted to without resistance . The journals of Berno give some circumstances which countenance this Matter opinion . It seems that General de ^ Sonnenberp , an officer in the service o'f tke league , wav , lately passicg ia review the Land went , at Neukir-chen , in fee canton « f Lucerne , which be ordered to proceed witk its exercise in rainy weather . Murmurs broke out thereupon in the ranks , and the troops bej ; an to disperse . M . de Sonneiiberg then with menaces ordered the roll tote called over . This became the signal for general and immediate disbanding . The men dispersed , shouting , ' Down with the Sonderbund '! Hurrah for the federal troopa "When ' . hey arrive , instead of 'firing upon them , we will present arms to them !'
ITALY . Rome , 'Aug .-&—To the ordinary observer or trans- , Alpine visitant , this old metropolis Eeems , what it hath long been , solemnly serene and dignified in its dull repose ; but behind the scenes there fe much silent activity , and , as ir the calm f . ow of its own Tiber , incessant whirlpools keep eddying beneath the current . At this moment I have ascevtained that in the Castle of St Angelo there are two cells , near the battlement from which Benvenuto Cellini boasts of having fired his arquebuse with deadly effect on Constable Bourbon , fitted up to look like comfortable chambers ( barring the windows ) . ; and these snug quarters are evidently dsstined-for no vulgar occupants .
Domenico Cavalelti . the chief director of the police for the district of Velletri and all the Pontine marshes , wasbro p ght in a prisoner yesterday , and added to the Catilinarian miscellany assembled in the tarcercnusvo . IIi&connexion with the disturbers has been proved by the revelations already mado and gmt satisfaction is felt at the retribution dealt on official delinquency . In pursuance of tbe pontifical mandate , Lambruschinihas been summoned frsm his maritime retreat , and is expected l * re to-dny or tomorrow . Every precaution is taken by the national s-uard to protect his entrance from the fury of the mob . The . maggiordomo , Pallavicini , is in a state of
contumaeious outlawry at Genoa ; his doings in the various forms of peculation on the palace expenditure for years have -far eclipsed the scandal of General Cubieres , Te 3 te , orPellapra , onyoursideof the Alps ; and the partner of his abstractions , Col . Pfeyffer , commandant of theSwiss beef-eaters , has absconded , not in the odour of integrity . Indeed , we are told here that on his arrival at Lucerne , he was arrested by order of the canton , and will be sent back . The trade in soldiers which that enlightened community has carried on so lucratively with Rome for centuries is too valuable a braneh of industry to jeopardise for tbe sake of the noble race of Pfeyffer .

On Sunday last an attempt was to have been mado , as & dernier r < msort , to throw the trastevere quarter into confusion , iu the mad hope of rekindling the trampledout embers of political conflagration . The occasion selected was the annual grand procession of the Moccaktti , so called because the glass blowers of Rome , . a very numerous trade , form an imposing muster in the show , and carry specimens of their handicraft . This ; bubble has happily burst innocuously . Chief Secretary Forretti was on the ground at an early hour , with his inborn energy , and overawed the malignants . There were no bones or llaggoas broken . Talking of our new state secretary , his brother rietro Ferretti has come up from Kap ' les , at therequest of Piu 3 , and isinstallcd at the head of the finance department , conjointly with the late Bavarian legate Monclnni . Treasurer Aatonellihas been cashiered . Count Pietro Ferretti is a man of most Cato-lika
integrity , stern in his opinions , and of cast-iron inflexibilit y . Ile headed the outbreak againBt Gregory , in 1 S 31 , and was proclaimed leader by tho northern part of the legations . Crushed by the overwhelming niaych of Austrian Vandals , that effort wag not productive of any result ; but Ferretti , profiting hj the . French occupation of Ancona , insisted o : i terms of capitulation , which Gregory , or . ee the ( lamer ov . » r , shamefully disregarded . -Count Pietro , having staked all his fortuno on the die , passed the following aixteeen years as simple clerk in a Neapolitan counting-house—not aware that he was qualifying himself for the dircation of pontifical finance . He was , of course , included in his cousin ' s act of amnesty to exiled rebels . Another brother .

They had the advantages of fighting on their own ground with all its resources at their command , and yet an nrmy of equal numbers defeated them in a pitched battle on the left bank of the Tigris , dr&vo them from all heir mountain holds , and made enptive their chief . [ n less than a month , the Turkish troops , with all their artillery and baggage , have traversed an immense extent of wild niojintainous country ; cut to pieces , in a pi : clieJ battle , an army of 15 , 000 men ; taken three fortresses , and secured to the Porte an extensive territory which hitherto had never entirely

The Mexicans lost about one hundred tnd filty . General Pierce returned to Vera Cruz for reinforcements .
Later accounts , however , do not confirm this statement . They say that General Fierce had encamped ten miles from the city-, when scouts from his rear-guardcamc in end reported that a large force of Mexicans were at the National Bridge , inarching towards Vera Cruz . Everything was got ready for an expeced attack . The shipping removed from between tbecfoy and the CaBtle . General Picrco came in and took a reinforcement of 700 men and again marched to meet the-enemy .
"Colonel Be Russy , who went out from Tampicoto see what had become of the .

General Scott was still at Puebla . Generals Cadwallader ^ Bd Pillow were at Perote . They had defeated the Mexicans at Lahoja . We learn of the
appointment of Commissioners by tho Mexican Government to confer with Mr Trist , at San Martin Tesmalaucan , on the 8 th , and through him the terms offered bj the President . A letter from ' .

THE POLISH TRIALS , The proceedings on the 6 th were confined to the de . fence of the prisoners Kosinski and Dabrowski . The defence of both was baecd chiefly on the pica that the in . surrection was not against Pru « i » , and tnnt consequently the accusation of high treason against that state could not be brought against ' them . On the 7 th an immense crowd of porsoas assembled in the morning iu front of the prison , and it wa 6 only by means of a private entrance that the persons provided with cards of admission could reach their places . A lonjf discussion ensued respecting the right of the natives of the duchy of Posen te be examined in the Polish language , if they so wished—a right , which after some dc liberation , the court allowed . The court then com . menced the © lamination of Stanislaus Felix Yon Sadoweki , who is accused of having , nt tbe instigation of
Uis brother , endeavoured , at the head of the Polish insurgents , to take posaessioa of Brombcrg , an important strategetical position . The proof rested upon the judicial depositions of the accused , and corroborative witnesses . The witnesses , one and all , declared themselves ignorant of the circumstances stated in tho declarations . < Vhen the accused , a pale thin young man , was called upon for his defence , be stated that tho confessions he had made during the preliminary investiga . tious were false ; that he had been subjected eight ' or nine times each day to cross-examinations ; and that being completely exhausted by a pectoral complaint , under which . he was suffering , he confessed all that hie examiner wijhed . The counsel for the aecused pointed to many passages in his deposition which confirmed the truth of this assertion ,
The 9 th and part of the 10 ! h was taken up with the case ef Maximilian Ogrodowkz wlio also retracted his judicial confessions on the plea that they had been extortod from him by moral and eren ph ysical torture—an insufficient supply of food having been allowed him in prison . The witnesses were of disreputable character , and the court evinced a decided distrust of their testimony . The examinations in the case of Ojrrodowicz having been concluded , the caso of "Vincent Von Ohaeliulake was tafcen up , and after its termination that of Ludwig Anton Stanislaus Von Poletwki . Tho latter , like some of those whose examinations had preceded his , retnicted his judicial confessions , oil the plea that they had been extorted from him by moral torture . This day five and twenty prisoners were produced In court , each advancing to the bar in succesBionas his turn to be examined arrived .
August 11 , —Tho examinations of Mieczloweki and Rcdmann were gona through . Tue next prisoner placed at the bar wa 9 Anton Cielsdorf . After the witnesses in this case had been examined , tho court retired fur a short time . On the retnin of tbe judges , Cielsdorf was called for . ward , and informed that they had resolved to liberate him . He was , however , instructed , not to leave Bcilin for the present . As it is understood that sentence is to be pronounced on all who are declared guilty nt the close of tho proceedings , it secma a valid inference that all who are not liberated at tlio close of tha special investigation of their own caso are to be condemned .
On tbe 13 th , tho counsel for the crown began his speech against the accused Nos , 4 to IS . All these parsons hs maintained , were implicated in the projected attack upon Bromberg . He argued that this group is connected with the groupfl Nos . 1 to 3 , inasmuch as the preparations for the attack upon Bromberg were resolved upon at tho conference in Srebua-Gora . Uieroeiaivslti , the planner and director of the attack , presided over that congress . In a three hours' speech the learned counsel enforced the evidence adduced ngniust tho accused , and controverted their respective explanations er denials . lie withdrew the accuaation against two of the parties—Redniaun and Cielsdorf ; he called upon the court to pronounce sentence of death against all tbe rest ; and in the case of the clergy * man Jankowslvi , to deilnro him in tbe first place do . prived of his ecclesiastical character .

REMOVAL OF THE REMAINS OF HARDY AND BAIRD , THE POLITICAL MARTYRS OF 1820 . t ' Millions breathe but to inherit Fieedom ' s ever bounding spirit . ' For the subjoined account of an act of patriotic and honourable justice to the deceased brave men of 1819 , we ave indebted to tho kindness of a friend , who has forwarded to us a copy of a private letter , which we print in full . Glasgow , July 30 th , 1847 .
It is my pleasing duty to inform yon that a few of the good and true men of Glasgow have succeeded in erecting a monument to tha memory of Baird and Hardy , Well may it be said , that the traitor of to-day may be the patriot of tho future . . The' blood-thirsty recreant , Castlereagh , whose deeds ' of infamy mil remain , in tbe pages of history , a lesson to the people and a warning to statesmen , is remembered only as a Buicide &nd traitor , whilst the victims of Lis rapacious and iniquit ous cruelty are honoured by a nation . The working men of Glasgow , the men who toll and think , have done honour to the dead , by collecting £ 150 and erecting a monument therewith . Trifling as some may think the sum , yet the deed is great ; more national than the Wellington Statue , a beacon to the tyrant , and a trophy to those who will their freedom .
In the month of May 1845 , a few working men called a meeting of the inhabitants of St Hollos to consider the propriety of entering into a subscription for the pur . pose of erecting a monument to the memory of nardy and Baird ; the object was approved of , and a public meeting of tho inhabitants of Glasgow was held on the I 2 thof March , 184 G . A committee of twelve was Bddcd to our little band , including among the number Mr Turner , of Thmsbgrove , MeBsrs Moir , Ross , Cullen , eur lamented friend , honest John Colquhcun , and other staunch and well-known Chartist ; .
Agreeable with tbe wishes of tho relatives and the public , we applied to the proper parties in Stirling , requesting leave to remove the remains of the unfortunate men from that town to Glasgow . After four months ' delay and a great deal « f trouble , we reoeiveel the fol . lowing reply : — " We have examined the Criminal record and find in their sentence the following words : ' That , after public execution , your heads to be severed from your bodies , your bodies to be quartered and disposed of where our Lord the King shall think fit . ' We , therefore , unanimously agreo that we cannot interfere in tho matter . "
We then drew up a memorial in the name of the relatives , addressed to the Lord Advocate of Scotland , and presented the same in September last . He took the memorial with him to Edinburgh , also a copy of the decision of the Kirk Sessioa of Stirling . We wroteletter after letter to his lordship , soliciting an answer , but to no effect . Mr Cullen communicated with Mr William Lovott , of London , who very warmly entered into the spirit of so creditable an object , and , to his praiseworthy exertions are weindebtid for tbe following letter transmitted to Glasgow by the Lord Advocate , 'Fifth of May , 18 i 7 .
'Sir , I laid your memorial before her Majesty's Mln . isters , and Sec-rttavy Sir G . Grey de 3 ireBme to Inform you that , if the Kirk Session of Stirling havo no other objection than the one referred to , Her Majesty ' s Governmeutgives you full permission to exhume tho remains of those two nafortunato men from their present place of interment , upon condition that there shall be no public procession or large concourso of people , but that the exhuming shall take place only In the presence oi' a few friends . I havo sent a copy of this to the Kirk Session of Stirling , also to the sheriff of the county to savo you of uny further trouble , ' I remain , yours , ' Andrew KcTBEnronD . '
Notwithstanding the direct and peremptory order of the secretary , Sir G . Grey , and the proceedings of Andrew Rutherford , Lord Advocate , : i final settlement was only come to with the Stirling Xirk Sessiou on tbe 13 th of July , and the 20 th was tho day appointed for exhuming and re-intcrring tho remains of Baird and Hardy . Mr Cullen , Mr J . Walker , and myself , arrived iu Stirling , having taken with us a mourning coach and horses , on Monday evening tho 19 Hi , Four o ' clock next moruing was the hour appointed forthe exhumation . Wo attended to our appointment , taking with us a superbly mounted coffin . The relatives having purchased the grates after interment in 1820 , they pointed them oat . The coffins wore extra stout , lined inside to prevent tbe blood from issuing out after decapitation .
The sexton had dug six feet below the surface , when Captain Prascr asked if tho graves were deep ; being answered In tbe affirmative , the sexton continued to dig another seven inches , when they came to ( fie coflins . The question now was , 'Who Is uppermost ? 'The relatives said Hardy , Baird ' s brother said , ' You will easily know my brother from the manner the headsmen cut and mutilated his chin . He then withdrew from the ground . Andrew Hardj ' s coffin was then opened , which contained nothing but Wb hones and clothes . Tho sexton handed me hie head ; thcro was do hair on the skull , and it had been cut near the shoulder . I enclose a part of his coat near to tho collar . They were drecaed in black when murdered . The sexton next opened tbo coffin of John Baird . Oil , brother , what a sight did I
see ! TheUethwere good , iho body in an excellent state of preservation , the chin hacked just as his brother said , tbe hair was on his head , but nlten the sexton handoi it up , and I took hold of the hair , it came away freely ? Need I say that I preserved some of ityes , and will revere it ; not an idle idolary , but in true veueration for all that is cenntctcd with thoBe who die in a good cause . The remains of both we placed in the same coffin , which vre carried shoulder high to the mourning coach , and we then walked in glow and solemn funeral procession through Stirling , at a quuiw past seven , a . m . Tho new had flow * abroad , quick as lightning . At every village and country town we camo to , we were met b y young and old , rick and poor , who broughtus ilowera of all klnda , begging that we would plant them on the graves of tbe martyrs .
We were bound down by government to make no annouBcement of our intentions to the public , but orders had been sent to Glaigow to dig the grave pine feet deep , and whan we arrived ot Prorao Mill , 6 ome two or towe mil $ Bfrom tbe city , rre were net by abort a hundred

well dreised persons , and on reaching Thrushgrove ' »¦ hearse was provided and tbe coffin removed from tte mourning corch ; the procession had by this time increased immensely , and thousands followed ilowly and seriously . There was grief written in every face , and : the lapse of twenty-seven years only strveil to quickeb the jcnsibility of every heavt , I will never forget it , aw will Scotland rest satisfied until tbe injury done be fol * lowed by on acknowledgment of man ' s just rights :-m ' 1 Freedom's battlo once begun , Bequeathed by bleediug siro to son ; Though often boffled ,, oft is ever won . ' We at length readied the cometry , when the relatltBB of the dead lowered the dust of our revered countrymen Into its Ia 6 t resting place , the coffin was covered up , and we scattered the flowers over their graves .
A nation ' s worthy tribute to tho patriotic dead . Tyranfc shed ih « ir blood , and their country strews their graves with flowors . Who will plant a rose or lily on the grave of On&tlereagh , or his rojal master , George tho Fourth- ! what withered cheek will be moistened with tsars fos their memory ? Kene . O ' er their graves the cypreas would refuse to bow and the willow to droop . But over the graves of their victims , a nat ion will mourn , and the stranger , when visiting thorn , will recall to mind tlie deeds o ? the past , and say , ' Patriots , rest , ; youe dust in sacred , the memories of your persecutors ' we remember with reproach .

There ia comparatively little of novelty observable in the election intelligence this week . The interest of iho conteBt baa evaporated , and tho oomplexioa of the new Parliament cau be but slightly altered by the few returns that liavo yet to drop in . In Northumberland tho Ministry have obtained a decided victory in the return of tbe Home Secretary at the heajS of the poll , in opposition to the influence of the Ducal Castle , whoso candidate . Lord Loraine , was beaten . In North Warwickshiro , Messrs Newdegate' and Spooner , staunch Protectionists , have been returned in opposition to the Free Traders ; thus showing that there are still some places left that hold last by tho old creed . These gentlemen , after being girfe with , swords , returned thanks .
Mr Nbwdeoate said , that in selecting him to ba their representative , they had shown their adherence to thoso great principles on which England had long been governed , and by which she had attained her present envied position . The election , had shown that there existed a strong conviction amongst the farmers and tho manufacturers that they were bound together by one common feeling—the protection of their mutual interests , which , by the reBnlt of the contest , they proclaimed to be not antagonistic , bub identical . Let leaders desert their party—let
representatives change their opinions—the heart of Eng . land was sound ; the people were fit to govern themselves , and they would do it . After a passing eulogiu , ns on the conduct of his opponent , and a declaration , that he had no desire to seo tho price of flour maintained at 4 s . 6 d . per sUme , but that for tho sake of the working man he wished to see it at fealf that sum , he concluded by declaring it to be his determination to use his best efforts to maintain the Church , and he expressed a hope that nothing would separate it from that Constitution which , | in his opinion , is the pride of the country , aud tho mainstay of its
liberties . Mr Spooser next delivered a characteristic ora « tion . After complaining of the difficulty he experienced in finding words to express j ' is feelings , ha said , ' I beg ( o assure you all , from tho inmost re * cesses of ray aonl , that I thank you—I thank you— . 1 thank you . " ( Much laughter . ) lie went to thank the manufacturer , tbo landowners , the farmers , and every other description of electors , for the confidence fchej ? had reposed in him . He thanked them for having united to defeat the " noisy patriots . " ( Here Mr Newdegate interrupted the hon . gentleman with the expression , Not patriots . ' ) I meaa to say mode patriots , who would give you ' cheap bread and low wages . Thereafter he went
over tho old argumont that free trade would produce low wages ; and said he took his stand upon , tbo pnnoiplo of ' protection to native industry ' He glorified himself on . the fact tWat he , one of the poople , had been chosen to represent them in nreterencotoMi-Leigh , whois descended from one of the oldest tarniUc 3 m the county ; and he expressed a hope that the people would always possess that controlling power to choose their representatives , lie concluded by deelaring that , even though he should ever feel inclined , ho would never chance his political opinions , but he Bhould sacrifice tne friendship of his hon . colleague . ( This dcclaratioa produeed a shout of laughter , in tho midst of which Mr Spooner retired . )
