      These demands appear to ns to be moderate enough , T _« t we are given to understand that they are _notrerarded with any " great favour by the new Government .

      ADDRESS OF THE FRATERNAL DEMO CRATS ( ASSEMBLING IN LONDON ) TO THE PEOPLE OF GENEVA .

      " All Men are Brethren . " YlCTORIOTJS GeSEVESB , We congratulate you on your gallant victory over the enemies of freedom and progress . As lovers of liberty and workers in the cause of universal equality , we naturally regard with intense interest every political movement occurring within the bounds of Switzerland—the birth-place of Eu-i _rorean liberty . The fatally retrogressive and liberti- ' ridal policy " of Lucerne , which policy , has , unhap-j pilv . been supported by some of the minor cantons , j would have caused us the utmost alarm , but for the [ patriotic acts of the people of the liberal cantons , particularly those of Berne and the Canton de Vaud , whose glorious tboush bloodless revolutions have

      done so much for the advance of democracy . The so _^ alled conservative , but really destructive policy pursued by the late government of Geneva , _^ unfortunately rendered nugatory the sacrifices and efforts of the liberal cantons ; that policy you have now put down with a strong hand . Compelled to fall back upon "the right of insurrection , " yon have proven _vourselves worthy of victory by your heroic and humane exercise of that sacred right—the last resource of an outraged people . Great questions which have hitherto been stifled in the Federal Diet , must , and will now be brought to an issue . The monstrous outrage of handing over one of the three directing cantons to those archplotters assdnst human progress—the Jesuits , must foe remedied . The safety of Swiss liberty demands

      a radical change In the existing relations of the CalW tons , the Federal Pact must , therefore , be remodelled ; menaced by the overgrown military despotisms surrounding her , Switzerland must become one indissoluble and vigorous whole- Lastly , that shameful disgrace to the Swiss name , the sale of so-called freemen to princely ' 'despots , to dethe work of _tyrarav in keeping nations in slavery , must be brought to a close . We are aware that this heavy crime is chargeable only npon some of the minor cantons , and under present circumstances , cannot be prevented by the veritable freemen of the great and liberal cantons , but a proper revisal ofthe federal constitution wonld place in the hands of the majority of the Swiss people the power to put an end to this treason against liberty , and blasphemy against the free Swiss name .

      We are gratified to observe that yon have commanded your provisional government to examineand report npon your present political constitution , with a view to its thorough reform . We trust that reform will be so effectual as to prevent the necessity in future of such violent remedies as that yon have just passed through . That the ' popular sovereignty may not be illusory , two safeguards , it _appear tons , are essential : — First , the sovereign power of law-making , _andthe appointment of all the officers of the state , political , mil and military , must be retained in the hands of the people . Deliberative assemblies , to mould and perfect projected law 3 , are useful ; but those projected laws shonld never become the actual laws ofthe

      oommonwealth nntil sanctioned by a majority' of the People , in their " primary assemblies . " To delegate thepower of law-making to abody ot representatives , _eventhoui-h those representatives may be elected by universal suffrage , is , in reality , to delegate the exercise of the popular sovereignty tea few _indiviuuals—afatal mistake . This great truth was first proclaimed by that great citizen of your commonwealth , JEAN JACQUES ROUSSEAU , _theglory of -whose immortal name pales into utter darkness the names ot proudest kings , and mightiest conquerors . Yo _'; have now an opportunity of reducing to practice the -sublime theory he enunciated . Its realisation was once promised in the celebrated " Constitution of ' 23 ; " may Geneva—at this moment -victorious as

      }" ranee , be more fortunate in securing the fruits of her victory . Second , experience will have taught you that , for tbe maintenance of your liberty , without bloodshed , it is essential , not only that all citizens shonld be armed , hut also that the armed force ofthe republic should be under the direct controul of theentire body ofthe citizens . Had this been the case at the time of the recent conflict , the painful and fratricidal spectacle ofthe militia turning their arms against their Brethren , -would not have been -witnessed . Thepower " which invested a few burgher aristocrats with the _weans of employing the armed force of the Republic against the people , might have been fatal to your _"berties , but for the heroism ofthe patriots of St . _^ _etvaise . This lesson you will profit by-Retaining the above-named safeguards of your _liberties , there is no measure of social reform demanded

      by justice which you 3 may not accomplish . _"Tiilewe admire your humanity not less than your neroism _ wj 1 jje we approve of your clemency to the « hen aristocrats , we would urge upon -you to henceforth pnt it ont of the power of any class of the _^> _-nununity to domineer over the masses . It bas been a just reproach levelled against all past revolutions , that such changes have hitherto benefitted _w » ly a few political adventurers—transferring power from tyrants to schemers , who , in their turn , have _? _ko become tyrants , the _peonle experiencing merely a change of masters . Hitherto , social injustice has ¦ rendered political _cqualit" _*— "where recognised—a _-uiere name . So Ion" asadlass , or classes of men , •* n the proprietorship of the land , and are _Inputted to heap up for themselves the profitable ""its of industry tinder the name of I" capital , " _*&* _£ that capital to traffic in and oppress labour , so

Lastly , if conspiring despots should dare te interfere with the Swiss people in their efforts to reform and perfect their institutions , we _earnestly hope that the nations will prove their brotherhood by refusing to follow the banners of their tyrants , and will ; on the contrary , give their fraternal aid to the propaganda of regenerated Switzerland .

PETRB HOLM , native of Scandinavia . _Louia Oborsri , native of Poland . N . - Nkmeth . native of Hungary . London , October 19 th , 1 S 46 . In tbe above address it wil be observed that war is invoked , not against the burgher-aristocrats , but against the principle of aristocracy . There can be no doubt that the conspirators who directed cannon

      shot to be poured upon the people , richly deserved banjring , and if tbey had gottheir deserts would bave sot the sallows for " their reward . Still , from an _abhorence of bloodshed , we -would rather that the rascals escaped with whole skins , provided the people take the necessary measures to render their enemies powerless for the future . If they do not , the knaves will , when _oncetheyhaverecoveredfromtheirfright , conspire again to promote the restoration of the old order of things ; when thepeople may have cause to regret their moderation . Again _,-we say _. there isno safety for the people , but in placing the actual power ofthe state in the hands ofthe proletarians , and securing to the workers the full fruits of their labour .

      On the question of the "interference of the great powers , " the National has the following excellent artiele : — "We never doubted of the Hi-will of the monarchies against the victorious insurrection of Geneva : we are aware that they mill do all they ean to prevent the Helvetic federation from constituting itself according to the wishes of tbe sovereign people . 'What they bave already attempted is a sufficient notice of what they may again endeavour to accomplish . At present a pressing demonstration on tbe part of Austria is announced , who withes tbat a note should be prepared collectively by France , Prussia , and the Cabinet of Venna , expressing the opposition of those three Powers , and menacing , if _necessa-y , an armed intervention . It will be enrious to

      see M . Guizot throwing off the mask , and openly uniting with two absolute monarchies against a nation mistress to organise her government as she pleases . The man of Ghent wanted but this last chapter to his history . It will be complete after tbat . To speak the truth , however , -we are but little alarmed at Ihosemenaces . because the employment of force at this moment is perilous for all parties . There is not a man in Europe who can tell tbe effects which may be produced by the first cannon shot , and if fhe Swiss resist , as we are convinced they will with tbe same patriotism and courage they bave hitherto manifested , it would not be impossible but that the aggressors may bave commenced a more expensive game tban they calculated . Europe loves and desires peace . She is right ; it is the sentiment of conservation

      which actuates her ; she will , therefore , con-ider twice before she engages in an adventure . Nations are brethren , and revolutions are allies . We fear much more secret intrigues , the seeds of division , concealed calumny , and all the vile means employd by men who . feel no scruple when their object is to return to power . Tha danger is there , and not elsewhere . And what pretext can be made for exciting an insurrection ? -It is at present pretended tbat the Radicals wish to destroy the federal pact in order to accuse Switzerland ofa violation of treaties and a want of faith . Bin , we repeat , the Radicals never entertained tbe intention of _substituting- a military for a federative republic . They loudly declared at Bern , at Vand , at Zurich , and in tbe Council of State of Zurich itself , that it wished to draw closer

      and strengthen the bonds of union between the members ofthe federation , by giving the necessary power to the j government by which it is represented . It is not by us ! only that this opinion bas been anm unced . It has been _iatnonsand times repeated , and with the greatest preci-I ion , during the agitation wbich proceeded the reform of | the constitution of Bern . It was developed two years [ since at tbe Diet , and again this year , on the niscussion ! of the subject of the Jesuits aad of the league of the 1 seven Cantons . Abont a year since , M . Eazy _, who ' is now President of the Provisional Government of i Geneva , published in the National three remarkable j articles , in which be explained in what m : mner the

      I Radicals regarded the question , and how they proposed to resolve it . The hostile Governments , therefore , are ' fully aware of the bearing of the present movement ; tcey 1 know tbat it is legal , that it does not exceed the limits which every society possesses of modifying its condition ; tbey know that it in no manner violates the treaties of wbich the revolution of July destroyed the greater part . It _woa'd , therefore , be a declaration of war against the revolution of July , and against our frontiers at the gates of Lyons , and within a few leagues of Paris . It would then be our duty to demand of the people of July whether they would support in silence Prussia , Austria , or their auxiliaries placing a lance to their heart and a kni < e to their throat !

      The National is right—nations are brethren , and Revolutions are allies . Should the tyrants march against Switzerland , the people may march against their tyrants !

      Counter-Revolution In Portugal. Lisnos, ...

      COUNTER-REVOLUTION IN PORTUGAL . Lisnos , Oct . ll . —On the night of the Gth inst . a counter-revolution was carried into effeet by orders directly and spontaneously conveyed to the Marquis of Saldanha , the Duke of Terceira , Don Carlos Mascarhenas , and the Marquis of Fronteira . This coup _dtctat the result of the joint action of French and Belgian influence exercised at this Court , intimately connected with the supposed predominance of French influence in Spain , is to be considered as the demonstration ofa new policy in Portugal with respect to its foreign relations of an especial nature .

      The Palmella ministry bas ceased to exist—one headed by the _Marquis of Saldanha is now in power , the fiery partisans ofthe Cabrals have been placed in the highest military commands . The constitution has been suspended , the kingdom placed under martial law , tbe capital put in a state of siege , the principal square thronged with troops , all the thoroughfares leading into it commanded by * artillery , the streets scoured by cavalry patroles , and a military reign of terror in full sway in Lisbon . On the 24 th ult . a conspiracy against the late government was detected and defeated hy the measures of Viscount Sa da Eandeira . minister of war . That plot was concocted by Terceira , Mascarhenas , Fronteira , and Castilha . On its failure , it was then

      determined to revolutionize the country by means of the capitalists of Lisbon , instead of the military . The bank directors and those of the other insolvent companies were induced to enter into the views of the conspirators of the . " court and barracks , and a determination to thwart the government by all the means in the power of the former was come to . This determination made known to the government , it was expected would lead to the resignation of ministers , and that step the opponents of government knew was not foreign to the wishes of the Duke of Palmella . It did not take place , however ; the object to effect a counter revolution was too evident to tbe majority of the ministers . The _Cabralists then found themselves baffled in

      all their attempts , and new efforts were made to get Saldanha to come forward as the ostensible leader of the party that was to upset the government . A new character was to be given to the conspiracy , new objects were to be avowed , and instead of a mere military bouleversement ofa popular government , the counter-revolution was to be effected by the Court . On the night ofthe Gth instant the chiefs of the conspiracy assembled in the palace at Belem , Saldanba , Terceira , and Fronteira ; and in the gardens of the palace their active agents , the colonels lately dismissed from several regiments for acts of treason , had been clandestinely introduced and kept there in readiness for action . Among the latter was a Colonel Lucotte . a Frenchman , who had obtained

      the road contract from the Cabrals . At ten o ' clock at night the Duke of Palmella was summoned to the palace by Her Majesty . On his arrival , the duke was received with offensive hauteur , and was immediately told that a change of ministry had been determined on , and it would be necessary at once to sign the decrees . The duke expressed his readiness toobey the Royal command ; but said the presence of his colleagues was necessary , and also of the Under-Secretary of State , to draw up the decrees . Her Majesty rep lied their presence was not necessary . The decrees were already drawn up , and they were Immediately presented to him for signature . The first , wherein it was stated that "for just reasons represented to Her Majesty by the Duke ol Palmella . " the resignation of ministers had been

      accepted , the duke refused to sign . He said the statements set forth in it were not true . Very decided and angry language was then held to tho duke , but he still persisted in his refusal , and ultimately stated , if compelled to sign it , he would immediately state the real facts of the dismissal of the ministry . The duke was then informed he should remain that night at the palace . The royal decree was altered , and instead of " resignations , " the " exoneration" of ministers appeared in it , countersigned by the duke . He was then called on to write a letter to the general in command of the garrison of Lisbon , the Count Bomfim , requiring his immediate presence at the palace on matters of importance tojthe Queen ' s service . On Bomfim ' s arrival , he was required to sign orders , already written , to the different commanders of the regiments of the garrison , to obey the Queen ' s _erdew in

      Counter-Revolution In Portugal. Lisnos, ...

      resigning the command of tho regiments . Some objections were made and removed , the decrees were signed , and the Duke of Palmella and the Count Bomfim remained prisoners m the palace that night , and wero only liberated at noon the fo lowing day , and all communications withthem , while thus confined _, was prohibited , except in the case ofthe Count Bomfim , whoso own son was delegated by the conspirators to convey to the commanders of the different regiments the orders signed by his father . At about one o ' clock in the morning , on the 7 th inst ., the " altas personagems" of the conspiracy , accompanied , it is stated in the Patriota , by his Majesty Don Ferdinand , and the dismissed colonels , who were in waiting for them at the door of the

      Palace Gardens and the residence of the General Santa Maria , close to the latter , sallied forth , and nroceeded to the barracks of the 1 st Regiment . Colonel Miranda , on being summoned to give up tlie command of his regiment , refused , but on the King coming forward and calling on him in the Queen's namejie obeyed her orders , and the dismissed Cabralist , Colenel Marcelli , was placed in command . Hl 3 Majesty then proceeded with the conspirators to the quarters of tbe Lancers , where mailers were similarly arranged , and finally his Majesty , " seeing affairs settled , " and a sufficient number of troops poured into the thoroughfare leading to the city to effect a _counter-revolutien , returned to the palace .

      At four o ' clock in the morning these troops entered Lisbon , sword in hand , and were joined there by about 200 ofthe Naval Battalion , 300 ofthe Grenadier Guards , and the 10 th and 16 th regiments . This force , not exceeding originally 1 , 600 men , took up their position in tbe principal square , and remained there under arms all that day . Colonel Cabrera , one of the patriot commanders , made a show of a refusal to give up the castle of St' George when first summoned ; but this patriotic gentleman , after having refused admittance to a large body ot the people , who came to the assistance of the castle sovcrnor . was prevailed upon to give up at an ear y hour in tbe morning , and . it is said , has been duly recompensed f . _» r his obedience . The only commander

      who peremptorily refused to obey the orders of the triumphant conspirators , was Colonel Passos , ofthe Artillery ; he resisted all solicitations , offers , and menaces , until an order , signed by the Count oi Bomfim , was brought to him to take his corps to the square , where the troops were assembled , and obey the orders of his superior officers there . - In the morning , at _eisht o'clock , Lisbon had the appearance ofa city suddenly invested by a military force . In the square of the Terreiro do Pago , a turbulent soldiery was collected , shouting for their newly restored commanders , and the Generals Sa ' - danha and Terceira ; Dom Carlos Mascarhenhas was _aaain at the head of the municipal guards ; the Marquis of Fronteiraand all the most violent of the

      , _militarv partisans of the Cabral government , m uniform ; around this staff a large numberof civil employes , embracing their heroic allies with formidable moustaches * and martial aspecte , and affording touching spectacles of the civism of the members of the ma * _rn * c clubs , and a sense of mutual" satisfaction at the restoration of the good old regime of sword law and mprtaado _sovernmei t . The dependence of the new government on the people ' s affections was evinced by a _goodlv disposition of field-pieces in the Terreiro do Paoo . and a constitutional demonstration ofthe requisite physical force of herse , foot , and artillery to trample or to mow down all opposition to the will of the two marshals , who were settling the new forms of representative government in the midst

      of a militarv horde in the streets ofa peaeeful capital . The people looked on in sullen silence and astonishment . The shopkeepers closed their stores , and orders were issued to prevent the departure of all vessels . No resistance whatever was made or attempted . All people seemed utterly bewildered by this extraordinary step ofthe Queen . The general impression seemed to be that their interests were betrayed by a member ofthe government , and _* ome of the military authorities entrusted with the defence of tbecitv . tt is needless to conceal tbe fact tbat the Dukenf Palmella and the Count of Bomfim , whether wrongfully or with reason , were , and still aTe , looked upon by a large portion ofthe supporters of the Me government a 3 being privy to the measures taken for the _downfall ofthe government .

      On the tth instant the decrees were publisned dismissing the late ministers , and appointing the Marquis of Saldanha President ofthe Council of Ministers and Minister of War ; Viscount de Oliveira Minister « -f ihe Interior : Viscount da Carreira _, Minister for Foreign Affairs , now Portuguese Min ister at the Court of France ; Dom Manoel de Portugal e . Castro Minister of Marine ; Senhor J . J . Va-Itnte Farinho Minister of Justice . A decree was published on the 10 th inst . annulling the new law of elections , under which the deputies were to be elected for the new Cortes ( that were to be ) , on the 11 th inst . REPORTED INSURRECTION AGAINST TIIE ABSOLUTE QUEEN .

      By special express letters from Lisbon ofthe 12 th , have come to hand , which state that the new government has received telegraphic information from Oporto ofa very unpleasant nature , respecting the Queen ' s Lieutenant of the Northern provinces to the following effect : — " The Duke of Terceira has been arrested . The new ministry does not possess the confidence of the nation . " Other information , no less disagreeable , but which could not be altogether depended on , had been received , namel y , that the Count of _Antas , who had been in command of the troops in the Northern provinces , and had been offered a marquisate , it is stated , by her Majesty , in expectation of his submission to the new order of things , had retired with the troops under his command to Braga , and proclaimed a regency in the name of the young prince Dom Pedro .

      The ( Madrid ) Espectador ofthe 14 th inst . states , from tbe frontiers of Portugal , that tbe counter-revolution has caused great dissatisfaction at Campomayor and at Elvas . A letter from Badajoz of the 10 th states that on the morning of that day a heavy firing was heard , and it was reported tbat the people on the frontier had risen , and demanded the revocation ofthe decrees of the Queen , and the restoration ofthe constitution of 1 S 20 . It was added that two officersof the garrison ef Elvas andone of thegarrison of Campomayor had been killed in the movement , which wasstlll going on .

      CAPE OF GOOD HOPE .-THE WAR IN KAFF I R L AN D . ( From the SoutJt African Commercial Advertiser of August 19 . ) The latest intelligence from head-quarters is dated tbe 7 th of August . The forces , estimated at three thousand infantry and two thousand horse , were moving in three columns on that district of rugged country at the sources of the Buffalo where the main strength of the Gaika Kaffirs is supposed to be concentrated . A few days more will settle this point .

      In the meantime , it is reported that a body of Kaffirs are attempting to interpose themselves between the troops and the colony , with the view ef intercepting convoys , and acting by small parties on various parts ofthe frontier . In this last they have been unhappily successful ; for though their parties generally suffer great loss in killed and wounded , tbey have carried off great numbers of cattle nnd sheep , and the loss of life on the side of the colonists bave been unusually severe—five brave young men of the _Stellenbosch levy having fallen in one skirmish .

      At the above date , the General was encamped on the Buffalo mountains . On the 5 th , Colonel Somerset left head-quarters to co-operate with Colonel Hare in a movement on the Kaffirs in the Amatola . Very little seems to have been done by the troops . ( From the Frontier Times of Aug . 11 . ) Mosdat . —Yesterday , during the morning service , the mournful tidings were received from Niemand _' s kraal , that five of the _Stellenboseli ' s burghers had fallen on that morning in an encounter with the enemy in the neighbourhood of the favourite Kaffir haunt , " Hell Poort . "

      _Tuesoat . —Received information from Fort Beaufort , thai fourteen hundred sheep , belonging to Mr . B . Trollop , were taken by Kaffirs froni Fort Beaufort , also thirty or forty cattle , the property of the contractor , with a number of others belonging to different people . A party was sent out the same day , and recovered nine hundred sheep , and a _Fingo received a severe assegaai wound in the back . On Sunday about forty head of cattle and four hundred sheep were on the way from ihe Tarka to tbe contractor at Fort Beaufort , in the charge of six Hottentots . These men were waylaid by Kaffirs , at a

      drift near Hermann s Place , Blink water , who fired a volley among 3 t them without effect . The Kaffirs afterwards surrounded them , and , rushing on them with their assegais , killed four and wounded two . One of the wounded men was pursued for some distance , but fired on his pursuer and killed him . Another party was sent out in pursuit of tbe marauders on Sunday . Fort Beaufort is represented as being in a _delcncless state , A muid of meal lately fetched £ 5 4 s . 6 d . in tho , market . At a late hour last night , the bodies of the five _Stellenboscli burghers , who were killed on Sunday , were brought into town by Lieut . Skead .

      HURUICAHE AT NEWFOUNDLAND , Gee at Destruction of Life ano _Trovem _* . —One of tlie most terrific nnd destructive storms of wind and ram by which Newfoundland has ever been visited occurred on Saturday , September 19 th . We lament having to record , as the effect of this visitation ( so far as already ascertained ) , a great loss of life and property , and much fear that wo shall yet hear of numerous other disasters . Many vessels have been totally wrecked or dismasted ; boats in immense numbers have , been swamped , or driven from their moorings , and dashed to plecei against the rocks . A vast number of fishing stages and flakes in various harbours on the eastern coast and

      in Conception Bay , with , in some instances , the fruits of the owners' toils during the fishing season , entirely swept away , nouses _liave been blown frem their foun . _dations , and torn in fragments—in two lamentable instances cr ashing beneath the ruins some of their unfortunate tenants . Trees , in almost every direction , havebeen _upTooted from their beds , or broken in pieces , by the fury of the gale . Many bridges , fences , and other erections have also been carried away , or much injured by the great and rapid rise of the rivers , which , in some instances , rose fully ten feet above their ordinary levels , deluging Hie low lands near their courses , and strewing their margins with immense quantities of wreched materials .

      Among the most distressing results of the gale , we may particularise the total destruction of that spacious but unfinished building :, the Natives' Ball , which , since the late fire , bas afforded shelter to several families . At about five pjn ., it fell with an awful crash , and by its fall , melancholy to relate , a brother and sister , of the name of Duggan , ofthe respective ages of about five and twenty years , were killed , and their mother ao _suverely injured that hoses are scarcely entertained of her recovery . Several others were more or less hurt . The new church of St . Thomas appears to hate been lifted from its foundation by the force of the gale , as it

      has botn removed several inches from its former position . A great portion of tbe fine new brick _bouss in course of erection for E . M . Archibald , Esq ., and rapidly approching completion externally , was blows down . About twenty other buildings , mostly unfinished , have been levelled to the ground , ami many others injured . Every bridge crossing the river , from Quidi Vidi to Long Pond , has been either swept away by the flood oi much damaged . The arch of that fine stone erection , the Xing's-bridge , is entirely gone . The Hirer-head bridges have also suffered , although not to the samu extent .

      From ports to the southward the news is very dis . Iressing . At Petty Harbo-ar , where , as before stated , the Hartford Was lost , considerable damage was done to the fishing boats , stages , < bc , and one man , named Patrick Kelly , a cooper , was killed by the fall of a stage . At Bay Bulls , about forty boats are stated to have been swamped or broken to pieces-against the rotks-, many stages destroyed , aud . by the falS of a store , two _brothers , young men darned lirien , were crushed to death ' , and their father had his limbs fractured . Four vessels

      bound to this port , three of which had run into B : iy Bolls for shelter , barely escaped shipwreck by cutting away their masts ; they are , we are informed , the Margaret Parker , Cullctou , belonging to Messrs . Parker awd Gleeson , from Sydney ; the Sir John Harvey , belonging to Messrs . C . P . _liennett and Co . ; and schooner Trial' , also srhooncr Pioneer , brlongimj to Mr . _W , Greeve _, loading , Poach Cove—one man drowned . The schooner DarUbrd , of this port , belonging to Mr . W . Dillon , loading with fish at Petty Harbour , was- likewise lost . We have also heard that a Tessel was wrecked at Harbour Grate , and another ad Carbonear .

      PRA 2 ? _CE . ' The price of bread in Paris had undergone no change for the second fortnight of _October . The prospects , however , had not unproved , and there was even every reason to fear that it would increase during the winter , although five or six hundred ? vessels laden with corn were now on their way from America and Southern Russia for the French shores . A portion of that supply will be required for Algeria , where the heat , which in some places rose to 55 o centigrade , had completely burnt up the crops . The quantity of foreign wheat necessary to provide for the deficiency , which on no former occasion had- exceeded 22 days ' consumption , will this year probably amount to' upwards of 40 .

      The Paris Opposition papers begin to complain of the expense to which France is already subjected by its new Spanish connection . Speaking of a new credit demanded by M . Guizot for the expenso of couriers , the Nationel says : — The . Voniteur published yesterday , in its official pars , another royal ordinance , bearing the date of Oct . 10 , and opening to the Minister of Foreign Affairs-a supplementary credit of 200 , 000 f . for expenses of couriers and travelling . This is the fourth ordinance of the same kind which lins been issued during the last few weeks . It is calculated that the proceedings to which the matrimonial conventions of Madrid have given rise , cannot cost the budget less for travelling expenses than 590 , 000 f .

      It has been already stated tbat among the Spanish officers transferred to the citadel of Blayc , in consequence of the flight of Count de Montemolino , is the Marquis de Valdespina . The Guyenne states that the Marchioness , who was residing at her scat at Marquina , on hearing of the incarceration of her husband was struck with apoplexy , and died instantaneousl _.- . On learning this dreadful intelligence , the Marquis de Valdespina remained without sensation for several hours . A physician was obliged to visit him twice during the day , and at present he is confined to his bed . The marquis is upwards of TO , and wants the right arm ; his health , previously delicate , is much impaired by the humidity and unwholesomeness ofthe citadel of Blaye . [ This is the work of that hypocritical and intriguing old scoundrel , Louis Philippe . ]

      SPAIN . The ceremony of the velacion of the Queen and the Infanta took place on the lltiiult ., agreeably to the programme . At twelve o ' clock the royal family left the Palace for the Church of Atocha . The cortege consisted of 30 carriages ofthe Queen ' s household and that ol Count _Cresson , tlie | French Ambassador . The streets were lined with troops and filled with a dense population , but not a single cheer was uttered in favour of Her Majesty , the Infanta , or the French Prince . The Court organ , the Heraldo , states that the title of " King" has by a Royal decree been conferred on the Infanta Don Francisco de A _.-siz . Amongst the persons destined to wear , in the shape of titles and decorations , the stigma which will serve as the record of venality , are the following Gold Key of Gentleman ofthe Chamber , to Isturiz .

      Golden Fleece , to the Duke of Rianzares . Title of Castile , Count de Mon , to the _Minister of Finance . Gold Key , to Pidal , Minister of the _interior . Title of Castile Count oi Mino , toSanz , Minister at War . Grand Cross of Charles III ., to Caneja , Minister of Grace and Justice . Rank of Grandee of Spain , to the Marquis of Palacios . Crosses of Charles 111 ., to the whole of the French Embassy . Recompense , in the shape of honours and deorations , paid , for value received , by the French Government , viz : — Grand Cordon of the Legion of Honour to the Duke of Rianzares . Ditto , tolsturiz . Grand Officer ofthe Legion ot Honour , Donoso Cortes . Ditto , General Pezuela , Ditto

      Marquis of Acapulco . Ditto , Luis Jose Sartorious , editor of the Heraldo . Ditto , Political Chief __ ot Madrid . ( This last for preventing the circulation of those jourpals that gave a true account of the manner the French Princes were received in Madrid . Officer ofthe Legion of Honour , Ventura dela Vega , Clerk in the Foreign-office . Ditto , Gonzalo Vilehes , deputy . Knights of the same order , to a multitude of inferior persons . A magnificent diamond snuffbox , to Senor Mon . Ditto , to Senor Arana . A dia , mond pin to tbe lady of Arana . The value of the box received by Isturiz from the French Ambassador is estimated at 12 , 000 dollars . M . Bresson has received one of the same value from Isturiz .

      M . de Bresson lias already been rewarded to some extent lor his diplomatic cleverness . His son and heir ( ten months old , ) has been created a grandee of Spain , by the title of Duke of Santa Isabel . On this the Clamor Publico says : — " In former times the rant of Grandee was won by heroic aetsofv _& _kmt'fllld patriotism , either by flinging from the walls the sword to sacrifice their own children , like Guzman the Good , or by conquering towns and cities from the Moors , like ] Fernandez de Cordova . At the present day , it is the recompense of amorous inclinations , of matrimonial intrigues , and of political apostasy . The Grandees of Spain may well flatter themselves at the addition they have received to their ranks . "

      POLAND . The Journal des Debats publishes a letter , dated the Cth instant from Lemberg , in Gallicia , which states that chose who wish to propagate a belief that all is tranquil in Gallieiaare entirely contradicted by facts _.. Count Stadion , the Governor ofthe province , who had proceeded to Vienna to procure more extensive powers , had returned to Gallicia armed with full authority , and had declared the province under martial law , and had likewise published a stringent proclamation against strangers .

      UNITED STATES . Wc extract the following articles from . Young America of September 5 th - . — TUB pniCE OF _1 ACKLANDERS . The Democratic Standard , of Hollidaysburgb , Pa ., thus alludes to the action of the late Congress in relation to the pay of the soldiers : " Congress had offered an increasocf the regular army , _ds well as the enrolment of volunteers . The pay of the privates iu the regular arwy was 1 dols , per month , of the volunteers & aols . Somo Whig bad sought to make a little political capital by raising tbe pay of the _Dolunfeers to 10 dols . per month . To this , the Democrats did not object j but knowing that it w «> uld be in vain to expect any addition to the regulai army , while the pay was T dols , th « re aud for voluntas !! , _lft dels * , and believing

      moreover that " _allmen are equal , " --and seeing no leason why one set of men should be required to do the same duty , serve in the same campaign , and fight the same battles for 7 dols . per month , for which _others received W dols ., proposed to increase also the pay ot privates in the regular army . And te this the Whigs , who probably did not see that any votes could be got from the regular armyi would not , or at any rate , did not assent . So that it was the Democrats who wished to do justice to the heroes of the 8 th and 9 th of May , and not the Whigs , whose proposition only embraced volunteers , who , it is well known , did not participate in these glorious actions . "

      rims it appears that the difference between the wings and Democrats [ how Jong shall these names be prostituted ?] was merely the difference between tweedledum and tweedledee . Neither proposed that the soldiers who were to _fi-ht for the country should have the smallest piece ofthe _coumiry they were required to fight for ; neiUier proposed that the fighters should be taken by lot from rich and _psor without any chance of backing out or WWout , < neither proposed that the pay of the _ofneers and men »& euid be « ft _& _, wliatmf Ihe amount mMt be ; neither asserted that a soldier ' s wife and clli ? _-

      dren required as much for sustenance _and-educa * tion as a congressman ' s ¦ » neither proposed even that the soldiers should choose their own officers ! - Tu my opinion , both Whigs and Democrats of the last Congress ought for ever hereafter- to be excused hbm serving the people in a legislative capacity ; and if 1 had the power I would make them swallow their own medicine : they should serVe ,. every devil of _chem . in the ranks , for 7 dols . a month , till the end of the villainous war which they have taxed upon the people , and 1 feel sure that if the people could take a vote on the _sulject they Wonld _sav , so mote libel '
