      F _8 ANGB . ' - ' , On Wednesday M . Denagrouze proposed an amendment to the ministerial . bill _affecting the miroarv instructors , proposing to place them under the care of ihe academy rectors . This amendment was rejected * as also one by M . Netieraent , _substitutine for academy rectors the committees of arron-< Essement . M . de Montigny then moved his amendment ; to the effect that appointment of primary teachers should bs left to the communal councils , the _prspsl preserving the right to dismiss . He added a clause fixing the duration of the law to six months . * _iL Mole supported M . de _Montigny's amendment . *" _T Other orators followed , after which the first article of the bill , as amended by M . de Montipy , was adopted .

      The bill presented the previous day by the minister of justice , for increasing the pay of r . _on-commissione _^ officers by 20 c . per day , was referred by thr -Assembly , to the committee on the budget . In the _-coursa of the sitting ef this day , however , onthe motion of M . de Mernay , who , being struck with -the political importance of the bill , thought that it ¦ should be examined by a special committee , the Assembly came back on its decision and referred it to the bureaux . Another amendment , by M . Salmon , was carried also , by- which the prefei , before cashiering a -teacher / must take the . advice of the committee d ' _arroiidissement . However , as the 'Debats * truly says , the prefet will not he obliged to follow the adz-rice given .

      Oa Thursday evening , the 5 th clause ofthe Schoolmasters' Bill was proposed as follows : —* No teacher when dismissed can open a private school in the commune in ffhich he had exercised the functions from which he had been removed . ' The wording of this article excited a . great uproar amongst the Mountain , and the most energetic epithets were _appli' _-. l frx M . Bengrest , who , in ihe name of the _Comnuuee , proposed to add the words ' nor in the adjoining commune . ' The article was voted—ayes , 338 ; noes . 255 ; majority ior the clause , 83 . " Paris , Friday . —Tin ' s day the bill for placing the primary instructors under the despotic control Of the government precepts was finally adopted- ; the _numbers being forthe bill 385 ; against 223 ; major ! sv for the bill 162 .

      The Mowing h from the ' Patrie' : — We Jean ) with the most lively satisfaction that the government has just decided , in a Council of Ministers , -ihat it will immediately send an expedition to La _? _Pla * a . It was positively stated at the Assembly -that tha _squadron would be composed of one or two -frigates aud several small steamers . The expedition trill b f placed under the command of _Admiral D . ubciirdieu , who will unite to the command full diploinauc powers . The effective strength of the troops to be sent ,-will be 2 , 000 men , under the immediate command of Colonel _Lannes de _Moctebelio -of the 7 _xh chasseurs .

      * La Presse' contradicts the statement iwice _rejjealed of 'La Republic / that the celebrated _Jdada-se George Sand has been ordered by the police to qui : Paris . It expresses its convictions that it such a lact occurred , Madame George Sand would not fail to refuse _obedicace to so arbitrary a

      measure . * The' Presse , * in its number of this day , * says the ' M-miteur _, * — ' Publishes an article entitled * Inconsistencies , * in which it copies the entire article of the * Reforme ' of the 2 d December , for which the editor of the latter was sentenced , two days ago , by the jury , to fine and imprisonment . The ' Presse' having printed the article apart frora the _repoit of the trial of the ' Reforme / inserted in its number of yesterday _, the Attorney of the Republic ordered tbe 'Presse' of this day to be seized in its office and at the Post-office . '

      • The ' Presse / says its editor , — ' During the fifteen rears it has existed was never the object of any seizure . To-day it was seized by order of the Attorney-General Baroche , who no doubt is anxious to summon again before him M . Emile de Girardhi . "Why was our number _seized ? We did SOf even take the trouble of inquiring , for we are as certain of onr principles as we are of our intentions . The ' Presse' already suffered two

      persecutions , one in June , 1847 , and the other in June , 1848 . Their result is known . Eight mouths after the _editor of the ¦ Presse' was summoned to the har of ihe Chamber of Peers , in Juue , 1847-, M . Heben , Keeper of the Seals , was obliged , on the 24 th cf February , to fly in all haste aud seek refuge ia a " foreign country . Seven months after the ' -Presse * was suspended , in June , 1848 , General Cavaignac was condemned by the _ballot of the 10 _: h of December . '

      ' This evening / adds the ' Presse/— ' At this Passage of ibe Opera , the rive per Cents ,, which had closed at ~ 94 f . 25 c . fell forty-five centimes on ihe report of the seizure of the' Presse . ' This measure , _which nobody could account for , was generally regarded _& 3 a political event . ' ' it 5 s _announced that the elections to replace the representatives convicted before the High Court of Justice at _"Versailles are to take place on the 3 d of January . M . Vraiee Darrieu , editor of the ' Temps , ' was condemned hy default by the Court of Ass _' z _? of Paris on _Wedneiday to imprisonment for two years , and to pay a fine of 5 , 000 f ., for having published a

We are happy to announce that , - notwithstanding tbe inclement weather which has prevailed in the Mediterranean , our maritime correspondence records so other wreck than that of -the Sollacito , an Austrian brie , on the coast oi

      Sardinia , Our intelligence , moreover , indicates that countries generally less , exposed than ours to the inclemency of . the iviater are cruelly tried this year . Letters from Italy received by the last packet mention that the conntry round Rome is entirely covered with snow . Our poor soldiers quartered at Tivoli and Civita Vecchia suffer sadly from the rigoron 3 cold . ' Soine _cn'rioalty has ' been excited by the statement that a deputy of the Mountain / named Pradie , has this day laid on tbe table of the Assembly a proposition _, _requesting the Assembly to adopt a measure Of legal resistance , in the event of " any coup d ' etat being attempted by the President of the Republic .

      Paths , Monday Evening . — -The correspondent of ! the ' Morning Chronicle' writes under the _abovdate as fallows : —The . ' Reforme' did not' appear yesterday , nor has it done so to-day j The mystery is explained in a letter addressed by the editor to -some of the newspapers . 'At eleven o ' cloek on "Saturdaynight , when ihe paper-was in type and ready to go to press , a hu _' ssier enters the printingoffice and _sneynons tbe printer before the tribunals for priating the Reforme * at a time when the eau . : tion- _* nonev of the paper was notcomplete . -What -was to be done . The public offices were closed , and -the money could not consequently be paid . The following day -was- Sunday , when they - _^ ere also

      -dosed , and the result is that by this manoeuvre tbe government prevents the' publication of tbe- _' _JKeforine' for two days at least , ' Without giving any opinion as to the politics ofthe' Reforme / every one ¦ wffl see how grossly violent and unjust the conduct of tbe authorities in this case has been . The state--siEnt is not given by the Red Republican papers but -by the' Sieele , ' a paper as well known for its moderation as for its ability . After stating tbarM . Xeyy , tbe printer , has a large _establishaent , in which lie prints no less than sixteen different _newspapere

      -of all shades ana opinions ( including the ' Moniteur , ' Parisipn , ' the « Credit / tbe ¦ Sieele * and several oi the moderate papers , as well as the -Reform /) ii _aadj—* At eleven o ' clock on Saturday Knight , M . _"Lery _. _wceived an assignation to appear oh the 16 : h of January , hefore the _JtrUiunal of ; CoMecti 6 nai "Pohce ,: where he _« _U 1 probably see himself _" _conbeared- to a month ' s imprisonment : and a _^ fi ne b _H » ne _tbonsand francs , for publishing the ' .

      the « Reforme' had iMWUiipi-money complete . _^ On the llthia fineo ( -one Jhousand _" franciii » claimed , andpaid OUtiOf that caution-mOTey _;^ _anflKon the 12 'h , without any . notice , and _withont : official or non-officiairnoliScationr the _printer . _'is prosecuted because he-has printed a paper without cautionmoney . From this it would appear , that henceforth it Will be necessary , before ? a printer consents toprint a journal , that a certificate should be presented to him every day from ' the _Minister of the finances , acknowledging that the _; caution-moneyJs complete _, if the printer does not dosohe exposes himself

      in-, _eviiably to a month's imprisonment and a fine oi one thousand francs . ' A month's imprisonment for an offence which he did not intend to commit , and which he committed without his knowledge ! These are monstrosities wbich ought to strike the minds of all honest men _^ and we hope that there are still voices in the press to brand them . It 18 not a question of party , but of fairness , and we have sufficient esteem for our adversary to believe that they will protest against sucb acts of violence . ' The following are the introductory remarks of the Sieele *!— ; .

      ' ' When certain journals accuse us of calumniating the government we are _obliged to quote facts ; which , unfortunately ; always go further than the most exaggera'ed suppositions of party spirit . M . Baroche has just added a new article to the thousand laws sgaiuH the liberty of the press ; never had the fertile spirit of the procureura-genereaux of the _R'Storation , never had the Belards , the _Marchangys , the Jacquinots de Pampeluna , the Broes , and many others ; never had the _Persils , the _Plougoulras , and the most fanatic men of repression , the imprudence to interpret the laws on the press and on printing , as M . Baroche now pretends to do . Yesterday morning the Reforhie ' did not appear . We have received the following 'letter on this subject from the 'Re / orme * / office : — - 'Last nigh ' , at eleven o'clock , our printer came tb inform us that he bad

      received a summons -from the Parquet , and that , consequently , it was impossible for him to print our journal . . The composition was-terminated , but , notwithstanding the'Reforme ' . Could not appear this morning , nor will it doso to-morrow . The moment chosen by the government to shackle our publication was skilfully chosen . ; it was very well known that some men sought at this moment to substitute an intrigue " for the traditional policy of the _« Reforme ; ' that on Sunday the ministerial offices were closed , and that it would be impossible for us to regularise out position towards' the finance ; there was , therefore , a certainty of stopping for one or two days a journal which the royalists purine with _implacabia animosity : However this may"be , ' we shall defeat their calculations , and we hope that the _patriotism af our subscribers will not fail ui on this

      occasion ; to seizures may succeed measures of intimidation ; we shall not : stop before the exigencies of the . treasury any more than we have _yielded to the rigour of condemnations . * _- r . ' Tuesday . —The discussion of the organic laws on public instruction , commenced yesterday , when M . _Barihelemy St . Hilaire , spoke his opposition to the bill . His speech occupied ihe entire sitting . _Wedsejday . — Yesterday M . Barthelemy St . Hilaire resumed and concluded his speech . The Bishop of _Lasgas followed in support'of the bill . Victor Hugo followed , aiid , according to the ' Times / made a violent speech in opposition to the bill ; and its : delivery , which was applauded

      with frenzy by the Mountain , was accompanied by equally strong gesticulations . His attack , on the clergy , and on those . whom he accused of wishing to establish tbe Inquisition , was received with applause I . y the Left , and with indignation by the Right . Much tumult prevailed during the latter part of his speech , and the speaker was more than once reminded by the President that he was losing sight of the main object of discussion , and was only indulging in bitter personalities , and most insulting expressions . His final announcement and vote against the bill _nas accompanied by great violence of gestures , and was applauded loudly by the Mountain . The adjournment of the debate took place at a quarter to seven o ' clock .

      , GERMANY . " The ' Cologne Gazette' " of the 10 th inst . contains a telegraphic message from Berlin , dated _Wednesday at noon , stating tbat the royal message had jusi been delivered to the Chambers . The message expresses the hope thatthe revision of the constitution will be concluded , " and that the Upper Chamber will be definitely constituted during the _present session , in order that the oath to the constitution may he taken by his Majesty . . ' A memorial was also _presented to the Chambers containing the alterations which'tbe ministry propose to make in the constitution . A peerage is proposed for the Upper Chamber , but the Second Chamber is to possess the initiative in all money matters , as in _ISn & land . - .. ' ....

      BERLIN , Jan . 12 . — The cold hassetin / with intense severity . We have had the thermometer down to fourteen Reaumur for the last two days in sheltered places , and as low as seventeen to eighteen in open spots exposed to the sharp cast wind . The land is , however , well covered in all parts by a thick coating of snow . The accumulation of ice upon the Vistula , Oder , Warthe , aud other rivers , leads to apprehensions of serious misfortunes when the weather breaks . _.-The discussions in the fractions of the Chambers

      of Friday and _Saturday on the Royal message have been y * ry stormy , and it is now pretty certain thai some of the propositions will be . rejected '; " that of a creation of . hereditary members of the Upper-House is the most strongly opposed , and unites most parties against it ; a large . majority in the negative is fully expected . A Cabinet Council was held on Saturday , and it is understood that the Ministry will stand or fall by the articles . If they are rejected jt will resign , and ii is most probable the resignations will be accepted . .

      - Phesbcrgh , Dec . .-A paragraph has . gone the round of the German" papersi giving the world to understand that the mother and children of Kos ' suth / have beenset at liberty - that upon : leaving their prison at Pesth they came to "Vienna in order to provide _tbemsel _yes with ' a . pa ' ssport toTiirkej ' . The only _wotdti vmth ia vhis _albiy is that this « noble old mother , ' with her three , grandchildren , left their prison ; at Pesth , but it was to enter a new " gaol at _Presburg : and such a gaol i When . these helpless beinaa _; were , consigned to the hospital of the SchlbsBberg , ihe cholera _aEdtyhpus _. _vrere'bot ' ri raging there , and 'Death busiest from * couch ,, to

S : Nor are these the only iamily _> at _Ptesburgitruck by the Hungarian calamity . There , are some struck indeed far deeper . ' There is"the 1 widow of General

      Leiningen ; there "is the' widow of General Damjanich _. fiee _indeeuj both , to carry their-sorrows / aud destitution whither , they please . L believe . that the following prayer , composed by Damjanich the night before his execution , has not before been published . On its authenticity you may depend . There is a family resemblance about such _compositions ' that makes them commonly faU short- of -the interest which attaches to the awful hour which inspire * them 5 yet rarely has a more manly farewell been breathed to the world than that of Damjanich . He alludes in the , beginning to the agony of parting with his wife ,, who is young aiidbeautiful . ' Prayer of General Damjanich before his

      Execution . ¦'¦ .. _. . 7 , / ' ' 'Ruler of the Universe , to theellift ray supplication , Thou hast s trengthened me in the fearful hour of parting ; strengthen , rae still , oh Father , that I may endure the hard trial , the foul , dishonourable death , strongly arid like a man ! Hear , oh Lord of infinite goodness and mercy , my longing prayer 1 Thou bast guided rae , ob Father , in fights and batr ties , hast enabled me to face many dangers : and brought me unscathed out of- many a doubtful conflict . _Prtised be thy name for ever !

Give , oh _^ Father , strength to . my , poor , Emilia , that she may fulfil tbe word she has given me , and bear ber lot in humility with the help of . her . belief . _Bl- ; ss . Arad ! Bless poor disaster-smitten Hungary ! Thou hast known my heart ; and no step of mine bas been hidden from thee ; . Judge me graciously according to the same , and grant roe a merciful _recaption into thy kingdom beyond the grave . Amen . ' " . Will itbe believed that these two helpless _vvoraen , Madame ' Darojanicli and- Madame Leiningen , after

      the execution of their Husbands ,: were not only _desjioiled of all property in land , inherited in , their own right , which is contrary to the _; Hungarian law , but not even suffered to retain a'fraction of _^ the personal property of their husbands ? Nay _i even the ' r ; wardrobes were sacked ,, arid their dresses and trinkets snatched from them . " jt does credit to the citizens of Arad that they would not bid for those articles of female apparel when put up to the public auction : for tbat they deserved the biessing of Damjanich . ' The dresses were knocked down without civil

      competition , cheap to Austrian officers . Leiningen was an accomplished scholar as well as so ldier , and had composed a history of the war . This mariujcrijit , secreted with jealous care-by his widow , who valued it more than her jewels , did not escape the narrow search to which her effects were exposed , and was also torn from , her possession . .. Hundreds of harrowing fact ? ,. ' which have never oozed into publicity , are current in the society of this city , from which they , cannot escape even by tbe

      post-office- no one who wished to : remain at Presburg more than twenty four hours would have the imprudence to commit to a letter aught which coiilcl shame the government . ' As this will reach you by a private- hand , I am not restrained by the same scruples . There is a young lady here , the betrothed bride of Lopresti , one of the Hungarian _hoblcswho was degraded to the ranks . The last news she received from her future husband , wbo is in Italy , was tbat he had received fifty . blows with a cudgel . by wav of discipline . ¦ , '

      At Vienna on the last day of tbe year a soldier was condemned to run the "' . gaunlet ;; _, His comrades turned out , as commanded , but when he ran through the lines not an arm was uplifted to strike him . ¦; I believe , they thrash offenders in this way with their orossbelts . This was by no means an uninteresting incident to close the first half of the 1 . 9 ih century with ; and is ' "T ' understand , ' the 'first inrtance ever known of such a demonstration of manly dignity on the part of the common soldiers . They disdained the function Of executioner imposed , upon them by officers less civilsed than themselves . This unanimous and silent protest on the part of the men against a barbarous mode . of punishment , and re . jectibn of the base reliance laid-on them to . become ' instruments of torture , has something about it well worthy of attention . The top of society in our days must be taught by the bottom . .

Air . Campbell . Mr . Clark accepted of my cha ] lenge ; to do so _\ ' In the columna'bf the « Mo _* ning 3 Chronicle and" Morning Advertiser' Mr ; Clark ' s / acceptance of my challenge is published to the world ; and as it of hifriends

      has not , either by . Mr . Clark or any s , _beehV contradicted briqualified , I feel bound , in honour _as a public man ; to fulfil my pledge . 1 may state that I _wes in 116 way ' edhnected with the calliris of the Stepney meeting ; that I attended the s ' a 7 d meeting unsolicited ; that I-am , personally , unknown to most of the parties who called the meeting together ; that the only part I took in the proceedings was with a view to restore order , when confusion was great ; that _1-will discuss the question at issue ; on its own merits , apart from all party and sectional considerations ; and that so far as I am concerned I am of no party but the party of truth :

      Mr . Alexander Campbell moved— * That as labour is the source of sill wealth , it evidently follows that the prosperity and independence of Great , Britain and her colouies will be . most promoted . by . employ ing and protecting , in the greatest _nuraber , . a healthy , industrious , and moral population ; . which can be educated and comfortably maintained by their own industry ; and , therefore , in the opinion of this meeting , 'it is the first and mosT" important duty of the British Legislative and her _Majeatj _' _s Goyernraeut , to adopt sucb measures as will . best secure employment to every one of the populatior ! , and procure for their lahour an abundance of the necessaries and comforts of life . ' ¦ ¦ ' " '"¦"

      The first part of the resolution— . ' Labour is the source of all wealth' —admits of dispute , as labour without , land , could not produce wealth—neither could land , without : labour . / S | r „ John Jervis . bet Majesty ' s Attorney-General , on , tbe trial of 'Sharp and Fussell , assured the Court , that labour was not the source of all wealth . But , kuowing as I do , that so omnipotent is labour , that it is considered by , political economists " to be the source of all wealth , and that John Locke and the highest authorities of past ages , have so written of labour , I accept of their definition and phraseology , in preferenceto the doctrines and definition of even so high an authority as Sir John Jei'vis . ' Labour "is the exertion ; of

      power for the production of utility , ' and , therefore , must have bee _. n the first' price -paid for , the enjoyment and po 8 sessiohof property ; for without- an exercise of' power for the production of utility ; nothing useful could exist—no productions could be exchanged ; and , therefore , no commerce could be known amOng men . Hitherto , in this country , the productions of wealth have been ample , but the _regulations affecting the exchange and deslribution of the properly ; produced have , been iueflScient ; the labourers have toiled , but have not possessed in sufficient quantities the product of their labour , Yet they are riget- in " unceasingly proclaiming _; ' That labour , is the source of all ' . wealth '' If Mr _^ Clark doubts the correctness of . the _^ proposition ,: ' I wiU feel obliged 1 to him for some solid reasons on _theopposite side , 'tending to prove' That labour is not the source of all wealth . ' ~ ' '" ' '' . '" ¦ - :

      The resolution continues j- It evidently follows tbat the prosperity and independence' of . Great Brita _i n . and her colonies , can be most promoted by employing and protecting , in the greatest number j a , healthy , industrious , and moral population , which can be educated and comfortably , maintained by their own industry . ' ' : _; : ¦" . " ,: / ';'; _ ' . ; , : _, If labour . be the source , at jalL ,. wealth , '; it clearly follows that the prosperity ; and independence of a nation must , be best promoted by , protecting and employing the'producers of wealth . It is lamentable to know that so plain a statement of tbe interests of mankind should give rise to cavil or doubt . One . of the chief causes of , the revoltiiibns of all nations has been a neglect of that plain , and , to my- mind , unmistakeable proposition . A population , generally employed , would not be subject to riots or disturbances of any kind , provided ihey bad a fair share of the fruits of their own industry . In

      England , vast numbers of our population live m idleness and luxury , vast numbers in idleness and vagrancj ; many able and willing f 0 work , are neither " half . employed nor half fed , others ' are wholly unemployed . And in ' a . country so situated , what can be more necessary than for the attention of government to be directed , to the true _^ sources o " [ national prosperity . . And , if the protecting and employing the producers- of wealth be not the true causes of national prosperity , . Mr .-. Clarke , will oblige me by stating his reasons in favour of nonprotecting and non-employing the producing classes , as related to a nation ' s true interest .

      . The last part of the resolution states , the first and most important dul y of government to be the adoption of such measures : as will best secure the emp'byment _, and provide an abundance of the _neces sa _ies of life to the producers . The last is by far the most import nt part of the resolution ; aiid I caU the _aitentipn . of Mr . Clark to the fpHowiri g st » teraent of the connexion between society and c , oyernraent , quoted from the writings of ThomaB Paine : —

      - Society in every state is a _blessing , but government in its'best state , " is but a necessary evil—in its worst state an intolerable one j for when ive _; surfer , or are exposed to the same miseries by a government , which we might expect in a country without a government , our calamity is . heightened by reflecting that we famish the means by wliich . we suffer / Government , like dress , is the- badge of lost innocence ; the palaces of kings are based on the ' bowers of paradise . ' For were the impulses of ' conscience clear , uniform and irresistibly obeyed , . man ivould need' no other lawgiver ; hut that not being the case , he finds itnecessary to surrender up a part bf his property to fUrnish ;; means forthe protection ofthe rest ; ; and this he is induced to do by the same prudence whieh , in every other case ,, advises

      lam ; out of tiro evils , to choose the best . Wherefore , security being the true design and end of government , it unanswerably follows that whatever form ; there appears ' most likely to assure it to , ' as with the least expense and greatest benefit , is preferable to all others . , ' _.-r ' ' ; _* ';' _tbe 1 labourersVbf England have yielded ) up part of their property , but _haveinpt . received protection and security for what they retained . ¦ It is this'increased- protection ' ,, which is . guaranteed in the der claration of American .. iHdepehderice , . and is also the ' strict responsibility ' alluded te in the preamble of the : ' People ' s _. Cbarler . ; _"If gpverhment _! be ; in ' no way to interfere for the protection of tlie producer of wealth , and the regulation of tbe productions t of Wealth ,, for ' . wbat , does '•' government exist ? ' The noh-interfereiice doctrine—so ;¦ popular .. among the

      monied and governing classes— -is a giving up of the very principle oh which authority : demands allegiy ance , and is a teaching which . _Lhope will ' never bi'come popular among thetrades ofthe metropolis . For . mypart , I think with Hume , that 'A ; _constitui-ipn is ouly .. so . fargoodas it ; provides ; a _iremedy : against _mal-adra ' nistration . _'^ And if th e English governmeht can , do nothing towards securing _employe ment , and providing an abundance of the necessaries of life for the producers of wealth , _Lwish w ' e ' had an end of , the farce of governing altogether . ' If it be not ; the . fir 8 t and most _^ impbrtaiit duty of the British legislature and her . Majesty ' s , government , _ip adopt , suchmeasure ' s' as , will best _secure employment _tbieVeyy- ; bhe . pf ' . ' th e _^ their _laiioiir » n abundance of the necessaries and . comforts

      of , life , will . Mr . Clark inform us , what ; iri _> his judgment , is the _fir-i ' t and most im pbrtant duty bf I he British legislature and her-Majesty ' s _government ? If it-be hot the duty of government to protect , the producers of wealth and regulate the productions , pf labour , for what does government exist ? : \ :.: _¦; _,,..
