      FRANCE . Serious disputes hare occurred between the Minister of "War and the committee presided over by M . Darn , charged to prepare the laws for the organisation of the government of Algeria . The comniitics holds that the moment is come for introducing civil elements into the government of Algeria . General Schramm maintains the exclusive sway of the military hierarchy . On which side the National Assembly " will pronounce itself seems it present doubtful . ... commenced h

      The President of the Republic « public receptions for the season with a brilliant soiree at the Eiysee on Thursday . The rooms were crowded . The British Ambassador , Lady Normanhy , and most of the members of the diplomatic corps were present . . . The Princess of Capne having incurred in 1842 a debt of lfcOOOf . to Mile . Lsnormand , of the Rue dela PaiT , for articles of dress , proceedings were instituted against her husband for that amount . A Ter <*« K *** ? ' '' a 2 ainst nin , » but owing to his leaving Paris , it could not be carried into effect .

      It becoming known , a short time since , that the Prince had arrived in Paris , and was residing in the Champs-Elysees , an application was made to the courts for leave to arrest him , and even to use force if necessary . He was taken before President de Beileyme , to whom he applied for leave to be Bet free on his own recognizances , assuring that magistrate that he was ia daily expectation of receiving , through the Minister of Foreign Affairs , a Cjiisiderable sum of money from Naples . The law agent of the adverse party objected to this course , and M . de Beileyme , after hearing the objections , staled that he would allow the case to stand over

      to the next day at two o ' clock , when the sum originally due , as well as 8 , 000 francs additional for interejii and tests , would have to be paid ; it not . he would be imlwi iv . prison . The case was again heard before President ds Beileyme of the civil tribunal . The creditors of the Prince demanded that , as he had not paid the amount due within the specified time , he should be sent to prison ; but certificates were put iu , showing the Prince to be too ill to be removed . Eventually it * tTB 3 no'iS ? d that the Minister of Foreign Affairs had intervened , and that an arrangement between the parties had been come to . The President accordingly decided that there was no gaumd for conveying tl : » Prince to prison .

      A new rneiii ' -d c-f ie ' mtrraphic eowmunieation has beeninvent * a by M . A . Bain , which lias received : he approval oi ihe L ? qishnive Assembly and the government . It transmits 1 . 200 letters per minute being ab « at 400 words . The law throwing open the electric telegraph to the public will be carried into eSsek on the 1 st of March nest . The demand which had been made by the Chamber of Commerce of Nancy , to prohibit the importation into France of embroidered muslins , has produced considerable sensation jn Switzerland , and instruciions have been given to the Swiss Minister in Paris on the subject . The Minister of Cammerce has received several communications during

      the week on tue subject of the Great Exposition of London next year . The number of manufacturers whose names were inscribed at the Hotel of the Minister , as proposing to send articles to London , were , oa the loth of September , 1 , 212 , of whom 793 reside in the Department of the Seine . They amount at present to 2 , 481 , of whom 1 , 730 reside in the same department . Of the eighiy . six de . partments of France nine only have as yet produced nothing f .-r the London Exposition . The Minister has , at the request of the manufacturers , extended the period allowed for receiving their pro . duce in Paris from the 31 st of December to the 20 th of January .

      Accounts from the agricultural districts state that There has been no change in the price of corn within the last week . "W heat of superior quality finds a ready sale , but the inferior kind is every - where rejected . The demand for flour for exportation , which was tolerably brisk in Paris some days since , has diminished considerably . Letters from the south state that the demand for silk has been more active during the last week . A considerable amount of business was transacted at Aubenas and at Romans , at an advance of one franc the kiiograro = ne . The fair at Joyeuse was eompletelv

      interrupted by incessant rain . At Aubenas silk o superior quality was sold at from 65 f . to 65 i 50 f . the kilogramme ; second quality , from 50 f . to 62 . The demand for silk was good at Marseilles , but the stock in hand was low . Large quantities of wine continue to arrive at Bercy , but the price has not changed since last week . New wine is little sought for in consequence of its inferior quality . Letters from Auxerre announce a decline in pries . Good wines of the year 1849 are sold there at from thirty tc thirty-fear francs the hogshead . The 'Times' correspondent says :

      ' I stated on Monday that the notice taken of the new and somewhat formidable plan ot the revolutionists to propagate Socialist doctrines by means of the Freemasons' lodges had attracted the ' attention of the parties at the head of this Institution . I just learn that the attention of the Central Grand Lodge lias been particularly excited , and measures have been already taken to prevent any invasion by surprise of the secondary lodges of Paris and the departments . On Saturdav a circular was issued bv

      the Grand Orient to the fourgrand lodges , earnestly urging them to leave nothing undone to prevent the institution of freemasonarv being changed in its character . The Grand Orient has acted with-such energy that the 507 lodges under its orders will rigorously maintain the execution of their statutes . A few lodges of an inferior class may require to be ¦ watched ; but the surveillance exercised over them is io strict that even there also the Socialists will very probablv be defeated . '

      It is stated , on the authority of private letters from Turin , that Mazzini has been expected for some time at Genoa , in which city the danger is believed to he greatest to the Italian Peninsula .- A large body of Ita ' . ian refugees is , it " , s said , assembled there . The Mazzini loan is Reported to have been successful at Genoa , where the coupons are negotiated oil the Bourse . A new manifesto has been addressed to the Socialist Democrats of Europe h y the Association

      sitting in London , and calling itself La Soeiete des Proscrits , as distinct ( ioth the Central Socialist Conmittee . The members of the former are chiefly French , German , Hungarian , Polish , and Italian operatives . The manifesto urges the European democracy to be on the watch , and declares that the time is coming to strike a blow everywhere to Kings : that the old social and political order of things is about to disappear , ' & c . ' In the opinion of the Society . 'it is observed in the manifesto : —

      If , on the 24 th of February , in place of subnjitting io a Government which was the issue oi intrigue or of chance , the people of Paris had at once assembled in sections , confided to delegates named by them the application of measures conformable to the preceding programme , the revolution would have followed its natural course , and prevented the tempest that we have yet to pass through , but from which our holy motto will yet issue triumphant . '

      M . de Montalembert , on Tuesday , presented the report of the committee charged to examine the proposition of M . d'Olivier , tending to render it obligatory on all the workmen employed in the State establishments , workshops , and yards , to refrain from work on Sundays and fete days . The report was of extraordinary length , extending to not less than sixty-four printed octavo pages , and which declares , that , all evils , social and moral , under which France is at present labouring , are to be attributed to the nor .-observance of the sabbath .

      These ideas , vrhkh vere supported by long and energetic arguments , created an immense sensation . The Left received them with loud exclamations of disapprobation , and even the members occupying the ministerial benches seemed more than once to be taken by surprise , by the exclnsiveness and intolerance with which the whole report was stamped . When Count Montalembert had finished reading , several of the Montagnards cried ' Amen , ' while others cried ' aCharenton' ( the lunatic asjlam . ) There was very little applause from the Moderate benches .

      The fete , in celebration of tho second anniversary of toe election of Louis Napoleon as President of the Republic , which took place on Tneiday evening , was exceedingly splendid , and has passsd off without the slightest accident . The number of g uests at the banquet was 180 , including the President and Vice-Prtsidents of the Assembly , the representatives of the European Powers , the Ministers , Judges , Mayors of Par s , & c . The only toast was that of the President of the Republic , which was given by the Prefect of Seine . The speeches of the Prefect in proposing , and of the President in answering , were principally com posed of congratulations en the increasing tran-

      quillity of France , the ioprovement of trade , and the embellishments of the capital . The only political allusion was in the speech of Louis Napoleon , when he said that , 'notwithstanding the uncertainty of things , tbey might reckon on the future / because it was known that if modifications were to be made in the government , they would be accomplished without trouble . ' According to the ' Moniteur' this expression created a sensation . The epeech was loudly applauded . The « Evenement' announces on the authority of shipping news from Marseilles that an insurrection had broken out at Palermo on the 27 th ult . This rumour remains as vet unsupported .

      GERMANY . The ' New Prussische' says that the resolutions arrived at in Olrnutz respecting Hesse Cassel , were as follows : — 1 . To solve the constitutional conflict in Hesse by two commissaries , one being appointed by Austria and her allies , and the other by Prussia and her allies . 2 . The town of Cassel to be occupied by a Prussian and an Austrain battalion . 3 . The Prussian troops to occupy the military roads in what strength they please .

      4 . The Austro-Bavarian , so called Bundestag army , lo be reduced to that number necessary for the occupation of the Electorate . The remainder to retire . That portion remaining in the Electorate to occupy also the districts north of the military road . Herr Von Manteuffel , indignant at ths general opposition which his interview with Prince Swarzenberg and its results has roused , writhing under the lash of the bitter speech nf Baron Vincke , the unexpected opposition of the semi-Liberal party , and

      the doubtful suppport of the Left , at this portentous moment persuaded the King to adjourn the Chamber . The measure was expected by all but the members themselves , and when Manteuffel with his colleagues entered the Chamber on the 4 th , it was plain , from his agitation , and the great care which he paid to one sheet of paper , that something of importance was to be expected . The usual formnl proceedings having been got through , he arose , and read the royal decree adjourning the Chambers until the 3 rd of January next . Great attention

      was paid to the perusal of this document ; but ere die slightest sign of satisfaction or displeasure could be manifested , the President declared the sitting over , and the Chamber separated at once , without any manifestation being made other than a few scattered hisses . In the galleries the decree was received with general laughter . The moment the decree had been read , Manteuffel hurried from the ministerial bench with a rapidity quite unusual to bis movements . Outride the Chamber a knot of a dozen persons had collected , but all else in Berlin was quiet as usual . The second Chamber was also adjourned without any excitement being caused .

      The Frankfort papers of the 7 th inst . corroborate all the particulars of our correspondence of the same , ' K . y ; but they add that another step has been taken towards the solution of the Hessian question by means of personal communications which have lately been established between the King of Prussia and the Elector . No particulars have , however , transpired as to the directions of the negotiations , the . ' onduct of which , it is said , has been confided to JJsj'ir Boddien . The Elector of Hesse has entirely changed his

      conduct . Since the pact of Olmutz , which has entirely dissipated his former anxieties , he will hear uf no concessions . In consequence of the virtual recognition which Prussia thereby makes of the authority of the Diet , the Elector expects the complete servitude of his now quite defenceless electorate , and declares that he will remain quietly here till his new ally , M . Manteuffel , has fulfilled the stipulations of Olmutz in his favour . To put an end to the street frays of the troops in Frankfort , marshal law was proclaimed by beat of drum for the whole garrison on the 7 th inst .

      The' Deutsche Reforme' contains the following despatch : — ' Frankfort . Dec . 6 th . — ' The Olmutz convention reached Count Thun with the intima . tion , that he should procure the consent thereto of the governments represented at the Diet . But the convention produced , on the contrary , much discord in the Diet . Violent debates have taken place , and the most passionate expressions of anger against the cabinet of Vienna are heard from persons from whom such expressions would be least expected . ' Altona . —On the 6 th a sharp encounter took place at Geltorf , with a Danish outpost . Among others two Danish officers were killed . Hanover , Dec . 4 . —There is here in preparation , at the instigation of the Ministry , a plan for the closer union of the North German middle and small

      states , with a view to their joint operation at the tree conferences at Dresden , especially with respect to the protection of important relations between this state and Mecklenburg in the Steurveris ( tax union ) and the Hansiatic states iu their special free tra 3 e laws . Tbe following is an authorised account of the Olmutz deputation : — ' At the private conferences held this day and yesterday between the undersigned , the following propositions were adopted as of a nature to solve the pending differences and to prevent a conflict , and will be submitted without delay to the respective governments for their sanction .

      ' 1 . The governments of Austria and of Prussia declare that it is their intention to effect a fioal settlement of the Hessian and Hnlstein questions by a decision in common of all German governments . 2 . To render possible the co-operaiion of the go . vernments who are represented at Frankfort , as also of all other German governments , a commissary shall be appointed with as little delay as possible for each government , as well as of those members of the Diet represented at Frankfort , as of Prussia and her allies . It will be the task of these commissaries to concert the measures that are to be adopted .

      : But as the common interests of all demand that in the Electorate of Hesse , as well as in Holstein , a legal state of things should be established responding to the principles of the Diet , and rendering tbe fulfilment of the federal duties possible ; asmoreover , Austria , in its own name , and in the name of the States , Us allies , has given full guarantees for the preservation of the interests [ of Prussia , demanded by the latter with respect to the occupation of tbe Electorate , the governments of Austria and Prussia have agreed upon the following for the immediate treatment of the question , without prejudice for the future decision : —

      ' a . In the Electorate of Hesse , Prussia is to oppose no obstacle to tbe action of tbe uoops whose aid has been invoked by tbe Elector , to which end it will issue the necessary orders to the generals there in command to allow free passage to those troops through the military roads occupied by Prussia . The two government of Austria and Prussia will , with the assent of their allies , request his Royal Highness , the Elector , to give his consent that a battalion of the troops called in by the Electorate government , and a Prussian battalion , shall remain quartered in Cassel for the maintenance of order and peace .

      'G . After consulting their allies , Austria and Prussia will send , with as little delay as possible , commissaries , to call upon the Stadtholderate , in the name of the Diet , to cease hostilities , to withdraw its troops beyond the Eider , and to reduce its army to one-third of its present numbers , under menace of joinLarmed interference in case of refusal . On the other hand , both governments will induce the Danish government not to maintain any greater amount of troops in the Duchy of Schleswig than is necessary for the maintenance of quiet and order , ' 4 . The ministerial conferences will be held without delay in Dresden . The invitations will be issued conjointly by Austria and Prussia , and in such gu ' se that the conference may be opened in the middle oi December . ' Mamteufjel . ' Olmutz , Nov . 29 . ' F . Schwahzenberg . '

      The ' New Gazette of Prussia ' of tbe 6 th says . — ' It is said in well-informed circles that the Bavarian Government has protested against the conventions agreed on in tbe conferences of Olmutz . It considers them an infraction of the federal trea ies , inasmuch as they establish free conferences , and suspend the Diet . The government has consulted the cabinet of Wurtemburgh on tbe subject ; but , as to Saxony and Hanover , it does not count on them to support its views . It is said that the Bavarian Government openly declares that it will invoke the assistance of England and France , in favour of its rights . '

      The ' Deutsche Zeitung' announces the disgrace and the impending downfall of M . von der Pfordten , the Bavarian Premier , in consequence of ihe Olmutz conference . Count Bray is mentioned as the only man who has a chance of succeeding that unpopular Minister . The letters from Cassel in the 'Deutsche Zeitung , ' are filled with accounts of tbe ' revolting impreiiion' which the retreat of the Pruwian

      France. Serious Disputes Hare Occurred B...

      troops is alleged to have made on the inhabitants of the Hessian capital . It is asserted that these feel * ings . were shared by the troops ; As to the manner in which the retreat was effected , it is stated that the vanguard , in its positions in Hersfeld and the entrenchments around that place , was alarmed at two p . m . of the 3 rd inst . ; that the troops were informed of the advance of the Bavarians ; and that all necessary measures were taken to oppose and repel the enemy . Great alacrity was manifested by the troops , and the greatest excitement prevailed . The same measures were taken in the Prussian camps at Schenklengsfeld and Friedsweld .

      A letter horn Hamburgh Bays!— < The last in . telligence which we have received from Copenhagen is to the 1 st . A rumour was then very generally dissemina ted that the King of Denmark had determined to separate from Mdrae . Rasmussen whom he had not long since married , after having raised her to the dignity of Countess . The motives of this abrupt separation were not very well known . It was , however , said that , as the price of this matrimonial rupture , the Countess Rasmussen had ensured to herself , independently o ( the property already settled on her , a pension of 35 , 000 f . a year . '

      For a considerable time reports have been rife in Hamburgh and in AUona of an approaching change in the command of the array . That which appeared then most unlikely has now come to pass . General Willisen has received his dismissal at Rensburgb , and the command has been provisionally conferred on Major-General von Horst . This event betokens a change in the war system . And it may be concluded that General Horst ( formerly a Prussian colonel ) has , as is generally believed , determined to act with a resolution independent of the Stadtholdeiate .

      The members of the opposition met after the adjournment of the chamber , and resolved to resume their places of opposition to the government on the 3 rd of January , exactly at that point where they were interrupted by the adjournment of the 4 th of December . Herr von Manteuffel has had several interviews with the Prince of Prussia since his return from Olmutz . The Prince is said to maintain his warlike views , and to be extremely indignant with the settlement come to at Olmutz .

      AUSTRIA . Vibnna , Dec 4 . —The engagements entered into at Olmutz . of which the leading features are known to the public , have caused general satisfaction at this place , always excepting with the army , which , as natural with soldiers , and above all with soldier * to whom battles have been familiar during two years , is disappointed at being deprived of an op * portunity of adding to its laurels ; and , what is more sensibly felt by officers and men , an opportunity of replying , sword in hand , to the Scnleswig-Holstein-like vauntings of the Prussian journals .

      The Austrian troops who assist Pio Nono to keep down his people ave paid out of the taxes levied by the spiritual head of the Catholic Church from his grumbling subjects . The French troops whom Louis Napoleon lends his Holiness for the same pious purpose are supported out of the taxes raised by the people of Yrance . The Pope naturally prefers the French mode of doing business , and , therefore , be is endeavouring to get the whole o < his execrable police work done—on the cheap system—by what Michelet calls « the holy bayonets of France . '

      PRUSSIA . The march of troops cantinues with undiminished activity throughout the Prussian provinces . It would leem that the government is disposed to complete the different array corps to their full amount before an attempt is made to reduce battalions or squadrons —a most costly experiment , and one that seems utterly useless , if , as we are told , peace is secured . If we are to believe assertions made by the ' Reforme , tbe Federal Assembly at Frankfort is extremely dissatisfied with the results of the arrangements made byAustria and Prussia . It regards these arrangements as an abandonment by Austria of the States drawn by her influence into the league , and subjected therehy to the raost hostile assaults of their own Chambers and people , as well as to the danger of a quarrel with Prussia .

      Letters from the Russian-Posen frontier state that the Russian army has been , or rather is being , increased . This was tb <; natural consequence of the mobilising of tbe Prussian army . The Berlin ' Constitutionell' is the roost unfortunate of journals ; its editor is banished from the capital without any legally proved offence ; it is seized two or three times a week by the police j and now it is proscribed in Saxony ; the last number of the 'Dresden Journal' contains a decree , forbidding it to be published or circulated in that capital ; the reason given is ' that it has published matter calculated 10 excite hatred of tbe Saxon government , and intelligence injurious to tbe public security of the Stat « . On the other hand , the Democratic journals apnea' "

      to enjoy an immunity from persecution at present , The ' National' disowns the parliamentary opposition , and is not enthusiastic for a war , 'as the Consfiwionalists understand it ; ' so far it is on the side of the Ministry , and m the censorship that still exists over the press ( which differs from the old one mostly in the fact that it is exercised after tbe publication instead o before it ) , a considerable allowance is made for the language of articles that on the whole lend to support the policy of the Cabinet . The Court of Appeal of Prussia having had a case submitted to it , in which the validity of the defence in a political prosecution turned on the point whe . ther the penal code of tbe old German Confederation and the Constitution of that body are still iuexistence , and decided in the affirmative .

      The day for the meeting of the Dresden conference is , it appears , definitely fixed for the 18 th inst ., and , so far as can be ascertained , business will be pushed forward with all possible celerity , so as to enable the Prussian Cabinet to meet the Chambers upon the 3 rd of January with the groundwork of decisions , in so far , at least , as regards the most palpitating questions . The Vienna papers state that tbe continuance of the Austrian armaments will depend on the results of the crisis which has been created in Prussia by the prorogation of parliament . In the interim the directors of the Northern Railway have been commanded to prepare for tbe transport of 25 , 000 troops , weich are now leaving Gallicia for Ostraw and Hohenstadt , on the frontiers of Bohemia .

      The advices of the German papers from Cassel confirm the news of the advance of the Bavarian troops . They have entered Zigenhain , and are pre . paring to occupy Treisa . Large masses of Prussian troops have passed through Cassel on their way back into Westphalia . The negotiations between the Elector and the inhabitants of Cassel have as yet had no result , and the ' Kolner Zsitung' states that the Prince has returned to his former obstinacy ever since he was informed of the particulars of the Olraulz arrangements . A league is concluding between Oldenburgh , Hanover , and the Hanse Towns . They engage to support one another at the Dresden Conferences .

      BADEN . The Prussian" garrison has been completely withdrawn from Rastadt , which will henceforth be occupied by a portion of the Baden Infantry contingent , and by the usual detachment of Austrian artillery . Baden has , it appears , fallen off completely from the Prussian Union ; without , however , breaking with Prussia , or without joining the Frankfort Assembly .

      SAXONY . In the sitting of the Second Dresden Chamber , on the 2 nd inst ,, M . D . tielir , Minister of Finance , stated to the house that he had every reason to believe that peace would not be interrupted , and that the free conferences for the re-organisation of the Federal Constitution , and the settlement of other collateral questions , would meet in a short time at Dresden-- » measures that would of course enable the government to reduce its armaments .

      DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES . According to tbe Ilolstein journals , the Danish army is so reduced that it does not reckon more than 40 , 000 men on paper , while the insurgents are staled to cave as many effectives , Should an engagement ensue , and in ' criority of numbers be pleaded as excuse for defeat , or additional cause for triumph in case of success , these declarations must be borne in mind .

      HUNGARY . Complaints have arrived from the frontiers of Bohemia that the Croatians stationed in the nei ghbourhood come over the boundaries and infest the Prussian villages by begging . The Austrian armament is vigorously continued ; 20 , 000 men are to he collected at Cracow , while Lemberg will be earriioned with 27 , 000 Russians . ITALY .

      or sees is under the secret management of the Propaganda Fide . ' and is there / ore extremely difhcnlt to penetrate . The impression made , however , both on the clergy and the * intellectual part of the Roman citizens , is , that his Holiness has been ill-advised , and that the act is precipitate and imprudent ; indeed , if report is to be credited , his Holiness now regrets the step that has been taken . In the meanwhile , the patripretre is highly , offended at . the frolics of the 5 th of November , but feel the consequence of tbe meetings and petitions to nei Ma-Je lt appears that such is the alarm created in the body of the Sacred College at tbe anti-Cathohc demonstrations in England , that the Roman government now clearly sees the expediency of arranging matters with Piedmont . t nt fh » ' Pro .

      The Roman government has at last given its consent that the American Protestants of the United States may have a Protestant chapel within the walls of Rome , whilst the English occupy a granary outside the gates , fitted up , and certainly well arranged , as a Protestant chapel . Some years ago the Rev . Mr . Hutchinson and several Peers of England endeavoured to purchase a piece of land to build a Protestant chapel upon ; and this was not only refused , but the proprietor of the land was threatened with imprisonment if he sold it without inserting a condition in the contract of sale'that no assemblage of persons could be allowed to occupy it , ' which of coursa implied prohibition .

      It is stated that Lord Minto has written a letter to a high personage in Rome respecting the Catholic hierarchy in England , with a recommendation that it be communicated to the Court of Home . It is said that Lord Minto deacrihes the embarrassment in which the government of her Britannic Majesty is placed , and ascribes to the want of prudence with which the bull , erecting Westminster a diocese , has been published , the painful consequences the Roman Catholics will have to undergo , should the present Ministry not be able to protect them and treat them with the impartiality which characterises the policy of Lord John Russell . Lord Minto , it appears , concludes by expressing a hope that tbe Pope will adopt some measure calculated to remedy the evil and Calm the general effervescence of the country .

      Letters from Naples state that Baron de Riso , who was recently decorated by the King , was stabbed with a poignard , as he was leaving the theatre , on the 27 th ult . ; and that M , Sedaco bad been shot at and wounded . Tbe latter took part in the revolutionary movement , but lately joined the Royalists .

      THE LEVANT . The 'Journal de Constantinople' confirms the intelligence of the pacification of Bosnia by Omer Pacba . Mehemet Pacha , the new Governor . General of Aleppo , left Constantinople on the 17 th for bis post . Additional troops were sent to Aleppo on the same day . The latest intelligence from tbe latter place is , that after the defeat of the rebels by Kirira Pacha , they attempted to attack Aleppo again

      on the following day , their numbers having been recruited during the night by some bands of Arabs . This second attack , however , was not more sue * cessful than the first , as the insurgents were a second time entirely defeated , leaving about a hundred prisoners in the hands of the Imperial troops . A ' odulla Bey whose duplicity since tbe commencement of the late troubles had attracted the attention Of tbe government has been arrested .

      We learn from the ' Observateur d'A'benes' that the Senate assembled on the 21 st ult ., and commenced its labours by some preliminary business . The Chamber held its first regular sitting on the 25 th , under the presidency of M . Metaxa , tbe senior member . The verification of powers and the formation of the bureaux occupied the whole sitting .

      CAPE OF GOOD HOPE . The proposed constitution for tbe Cape of Good Hope sent out by Earl Grey , does not seem to grow in favour with the colonists . The presidency of the First Chamber , proposed by Earl Grey to be in her Majesty , is rejected even by the Government Commission , and by tbe municipal authorities totally repudiated . The Government proposals , almost in every article , are far short oi the requirements and intelligence of the colony . The inhabitants , as on the convict question , have deliberately made up their minds ; rejection of their suggestion is sure to evoke an irresistable opposition . A constitution for the Cape will never be graciously received unless it thoroughly embodies the English representative principle .

      Disturbances have again broken out on the Kaffir frontier of the Cape of Good Hope , the native tribes being the aggressors . It does ml sei'to that the malcontents were very formidable in numbers , but still appearances were sufficiently menacing to induce bis Excellency tbe Governor General ( Sir H . Smith ) to repair without delay to the scene of strife , in order to ascertain the cause and extent of the outbreak , and to adopt such measures as he might deem necessary for its speedy suppression . AMERICA . There h some distress in the manufacturing districts of New England . More than 300 , 000 spindles have been recently stopped in the cotton manufactories at Lowell and elsewhere in

      Massachusetts , and they do say 700 , 000 spindles in all the , Northern States . About half the Maryland Cotton factories have suspended , but in Pennsylvania very few have stopped , if any . The manufacturers attribute all this to the tariff of 1846 ; but the very high price of the raw material , and the introduction of cotton mills in the South are probably tbe principal causes of the depression . The following news has been received by tbe Royal mail steam-ship Cambria , Cap . Leitcb , which arrived in the Mersey about noon on Wednesday . The excitement regarding tbe Fugitive Slave Bill , whice ran very high during the late elections , now occupies but little of public attention in the Northern States ,

      By a comparison of the leading features of the returns made in Massachusetts with the previous returns of 1840 valuable results are attained ; among them none are more apparent than the fallacy of tbe Protectionist doctrine so prevalent there , which supposes that an increase ot manufacturers increases the home demand for agricultural produce . The number of active persons , and of various manufacturing establishments now in operation , show a great' and invariable increase over those recorded in 1840 , while , on the other hand , as marked , and almost as invariable a decrease , has taken place in the numbers of farm stock and quantities of farm produce .

      It appears from returns that in the manufacturing districts the number of operatives have increased thirty . per cent ,, and the number of dwellings something more than forty per cent . Every branch of manufacturing industry shows an immense increase , more particularly shipping , and cotton and woollen factories . Tha increase of cotton spindles is ninety per cent ., which would alone account for muchoi tbe depression now existing through competition of the mills . Every description of manufactory shows tbe same result in a greater or less

      degree , and the towns in which they are located are connected by an increase of 800 miles of railroad .
