Foaxce. 1/Ir Lord Palnierstoa Lias Becom...
_FOAXCE . 1 / ir Lord Palnierstoa lias become an oracle forthe _•" _wmfrencajmsraalKts . The _weaknessof _England , viewed vith ivith regard to her means for resisting an invasion rom Prom Franco , is accepted upon his lordship ' s word as in inn undeniable truth * The Steele , following tne yaticXationat , harps upon this pleasant theme . This r-Jticiw | icr states that so strong was the conviction that it ivouWould be madness to take up a plan abandoned by _NaptNapoleon hiinseif , that the best iuformed Frenchman waul would not havedre . - . incd of the possibility of _invading Eng ! Eng .. _t ! id had not thc apprehensions expressed upon the the subject bv ? uch statesmen as Lord l _' almerston _remiremoveii the veil from thc eyes of the most increduloS 3 . loi . 3- " yes , " proceeds this popular organ , "it is esta ! established that France may grapple with her ancient riva rival upon her own soil . " It is not our intention to snee meet bravado with bravado ; to do so would not suit the thc calm resolved - ? pirit of the English people , who , del * _dctcs'ing war , would look npon its revival as the wor worst of evils , yet would , nevertheless , defend the int < integrity of their country to the last drop of blood , an ;! _andlthc last throe of lite , against any invader . A 1 ' r . _Freiii-h hostile force _mifht get on English ground ( pi : ( pigs r aiVrf fly , though rather unlikely birds ); but ] : «! ] :.-iw many woidd return to tell of their adventures in iVzi ibis country ? Let Johnny Crapand not make a fool of of himself . Jf he likes p layimr at _soldieis _, burning an and l _am-it-catting in Africa , aud _turnins his capital is > i _iaio aa immense _duageon , with lamia _l'lulippe for he heaJ-gaoler , «> be it ; " but let him keep these blessin _iogs of French freedom and French civilisation to hi himself , or the poor devils who have not the powerto re reixiihi & kuidnesscs : don ' t let him attempt their
_esic tension to this country , otherwise he may get __ a very W unthankful return for bis pains . The alarmists on ti this side of the water , and _thegore-and glory-mongers o : oa thc other side , are pretty well estimated by the p people of this country , who fear neither the one nor t tl _« other . Tits English people have grievances , j many and serious ; but these thev can best settle for t themselves and by themselves . _Xous lit shall make os ru ;* , If England to herself do prove but _trus . And of that , we can assure the French war faction , i there is no doubt whatever .
Thc rresst contains an _-tble expose of the vices of Marshal _Bugcaud ' _s government in Africa . This Journal shows that this _oSiccr has no idea but that of brute force . If _Ucdemawdsycavafteryear additional reinforcements , he does so with the view of being enabled to disseminate Ms soldiers for the purpose of destroying crops , cutting down trees , carrying oif cattle , and , in fine , of wasting the country and exterminating the inhabitants . The outcry against this man , since the Dahra massacre , has become universal .
The _Me-niteur of Tuesday contains an account of an alarming fire , which broke oat upon thc night of the 1 st , in a part of the arsenal of Toulon called the 31 ouri ? lon , where was piled timber to the value of 3 , 090 , 009 francs , all of which was consumed . The fire was not extinguished until the 3 rd . All the vessels on the stocks were saved . From the fire having bmhea out in different places at the same time , no doubt is entertained of its having been the work of some of thc galley slaves , especially as several balls of tow saturated with inflammable substances have been discovered . The police are making active inquiries , and with hopes of success . The Viile de Bordeaux steam-packet , which arrived at Marseilles on the 1 st inst . from Algiers , brings word that the Dnkc de Isly had left thc camp of Airo-el-Arba on the 25 th ult ., and proceeded against the tribe of the Bern Ouagenouns . on whom be inflicted a severe chastisement .
SPAIN . The application noon the part of the inhabitants of Malaga for a suspension ofthe execution of tho sentence against those fouud guilty for having taken part in tbe late plot had , as was to be expected , failed . Mercy is a word banished from Spain . The Heraldo of the SOth ult . announces that thc _ilinistershave resolved to convoke tho Cortes for thc 10 th October next . According to the Postdata , several persons were arrested at Madrid on tbe night of tbe 29 th . Amon < y others an officer named Luis _Sagasti is mentioned . Tho government , feeling no further alarm on the side of Catalonia and Valencia , has ordered the expeditionary column _^ which had been sent to Cuenca , to return to the capital .
M « _mii > _Fateus of the 1 st , state that several arrests bad taken place on the morning of tbe -31 st alt . Among those arrested are IL Sagusti , who , during the regency of Espartero , held the office of Political Chic ? of Madrid ; General Cnespo , lately second in command with General Aleak in Manilla , and the Commandant and Captain in command of the guard at barracks of the regiment of Gallieia . _"VTe learn from El Hcndda that the public _prOSCCUtOl had demanded the penalty of death against several of thc Malaga conspirators . Several arrests had taken place m Granada . A correspondent of the _Ssjvctador mentions that General Schelly , the Captain-General of Seville , had whipped an inhabitant of tbat city pnb'icly in the Market-place , whose only crime was thai he had called out " Liberty for ever !"
The IxsinEEcnos re _Cataloxia NOT Put _Dowjt I—A letter from Barcelona of the 1 st instant contains the following : — " Two battalions have just left this garrison for Mataro . In spite of all the _tranquiUi-ing accounts published by the authorities , it appears that thc bands of Catalonia assume a menacing attitude . Thc Lampurdan is said to be in insurrection , and five companies of troops of the line are reported to have been attacked aud disarmed by tiie insurgents . General Concha lias sett off for the province of Girona ; previously to his departure he onsmised his staff as tboush he was about to enter _onTa campaign . General Cotoner will take the command at Barcelona during thc absence of the Captain General . M . Capdcville , English vice consul at Koses , has been arrested by order of . General Coneha , and it is said that the Spanish authorities have seized a case containing-5000 muskets addressed to bim "
SWITZERLAND . The Swiss papers ofthe 30 th ult . contain a report of the sittings in the _SwissDiet on that day , but the principal part ofthe proccedin : » 3 were on questions of a merely local interest . The questions of more general and important bearing have not yet been entered on . Tbe Canton of Berne is the one which attracts the most . attention from ihe statesmen of Switzerland , for the last eight months , everything has been there preparing for a revolution similar to that which took place in Lausanne . As at Lansanna , certain members of the Government lend a helping hand to this movement , and , as at
Lausanne , it will probably be as readily overthrown . A letter from Geneva . 30 th _uit ., says : — " Oar Council of State , anticipating that the Jesuits , when expelled from France , might be tempted to come and form establishments oa onr territory , has just reminded the public of an ordonnance which forbids any foreigner to undertake the duty of instruction in tbe Canton of Geneva , without a special authorisation . It is still , however , feaml that they may form an establishment in some Sardinian commune on our borders , which would for us be attended with the same dangers as if a college of Jesuits were established within onr canton . "
TURKEY . Tbe German Universal Gazette contains accounts irom Constantinople of thc 16 th ult ., according to wliich the revolt which had broken out at Wan was on tiie increase . Eleven battalions of infantry and two batteries of artillery were on tho march from Erzeronm . The rebels had mnnlered an Armenian priest and the charg 6 d ' astaires of the Pacha . They are Mussulmans , but ofa different sect . The inhabitants and Rayah Christians support the Porte . A merchant ship had brought in news of a revolution in the island of Candia . The Mussulmans wanted to kill _thsrachaon suspicion that he favoured thc Greeks .
GERMANY . A correspondent of the Debate mentions that Jfr . Ronge , the founder , as he may be called , of the New Catholic German Church , is proceeding with sneh success as to cause uneasiness to Prussia , and several German states as well Catholic as Protestant . On visiting Dantzie , he was received by TOCO p ersons , who joined him in worship before an altar covered wit & flowere . The ceremony was extremely simple . i -- r -- ni i n _* in ) i _»>> . _* _^^^ _«< 0 _/ K _, _f , > ii * ' * _'l ¦

_Extejisive Fnre . — On Saturday morning last , August 2 nd shortly before one o ' clock , a fire , attended wu . a _veir serions destruction of property , broke c- * t npon the premises belonging * to Mr .

Tb' : draught thus given io the _fi » mc 3 caused them to travel with such surprising rapidity , that in _Ips s than ten minutes subsequently , the
house , a very My one , was on fire from the basement to thereof , and to effect their escape the inmates were forced to retreat over the root The fire lartended corapletelv across the street , severely scorching the fronts of _' the opposite houses , the inmates ofwhich were forced to rush forth into tbe street , in order to escape being suffocated . By the indefatigable exertions of the firemen the fire was so far subdued by _half-past two o ' clock as to allay all fears of any further extension of mischief . By that time , however , the whole of the furniture , Stock in trade , and wearing apparel , belonging to Mr . Moxon , were consumed , and the buildings adjoining sererelr damaged . The total loss must be very considerable . Fortunately no lives were lost .

The . following statement , which has been issued by the men , sufficiently explains the cause of the strike . The coalowner is advertising for hands , but we trust no men will 6 c ibtmd so base as to take tho places of the Ardslcy men . The old prices for coal-getting at this colliery were 2 s . 8 d . for twelve corves , 61 cwt . We went 100 yards before wo took a rise , and received one penny , after this 3 d . for every 100 yards in succession . We had 3 s . 6 d . per yard for end—our masters have now reduced the same to 3 s ., and have moreover imposed upon us additional labour by considerably enlarging tho corves . Each corf now " holds upwards of 8 cwt . of coals . ' Now , as it is an indisputable fact tbat the avocation ofthe Miner is one ot toil and perif , and is therefore deserving of adequate remuneration , we take the liberty of _acouaintinc
our masters with the terms on whicli we trill work , _* and in doing so wc wish it to be understood that we manifest no _ill-feeliti" ; to our employers ; all we desire is the very reasonable demand , wliich doubtless we have a right to urge , y ' a ,: —a fair remuneration to requite us for our jeopardous and arduous services . Wc will send twelve corves to the dozen , at 2 s . 8 d . pet-dozen ( each corf to weigh six and a half cwt . ) , and rise one penny for every thirty-throe yards aud one foot in succession . We must be paid for all overweight ; that is , for all above six and a half cwt . — our man to weigh against-your man . We expect 3 s . Oil . per yard for end as formerly , whether soft ones be cut or not . One shilling per pack for pulling down packs into the banks ; Is . 3 d . per yard ' for building packs up tothe softs ; _andfoi _' _ijutuung packs up to the middle bed , Is . 9 d . pp *< _yaixl ; for a square pack , measuring one end . _•«»« one sido , As . 3 d . per yard . ¦ - _..-.

Wc have now arrived at a crisis which is trying in thc extreme : our expenditure is ncavly £ 20 per week , and as yet we have not received that sum . Wc shall now be obliged to try those places that bave received aid from tbe Weavers of Knarcsb 0 l' 0 U « ll . TllC _WoolcomtiGi-s of Bradford were aided about twenty years since , to the amount of £ 225 , by us . We have made applications to them since our strike commenced , but they had their hands full with Mr . Rand ' s hands ; as they have got their strike over , we shall be obliged to again solicit their aid . Wc also sent aid to tbe Staffordshire Potteries a few yeara ago , when the Trades Union was in existence . IVe do hope our friends ofthe Potteries will do something for us , be it ever so little .

BARNSLEy . Mn . O'Co . vsok ' s Visit . — Tuesday being the day announced f r Mr . O'Connor ' s visit to Barnsley , early in thc day the town was all bustle . A ines senger wns despatched to Sheffield , to ascertain { Inexact time he would be in this town . Atnine o ' clock a M . the messenger arrived with the tidings that Mr . O'Connor would be here , at two p . m . Notwithstanding the extreme wetness of the day , _,-it two o ' clock thousands were seen wending their way to the _station-hoiiso , but were doomed to disappointment , as it was halfpast three o ' clock before he arrived . An excellent dinner was provided at tho Odd'Fellows Hall , in honour ot the patriot , ofwhich sixty-nine persons partouk . When the cloth was removed , the
health of Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., was drank with three times three , Thomas _Slingsby Duncombe , Esq ., received a similar token of respect . Thc hall was then opened , and the public admitted at Id . each . At seven o ' clock the . business of thc evening commenced . Mr . Peter Hoey was unanimously called to the chair . Ho opened the meeting by desirinj : that all parties would patiently attend to what should be advanced by the talented lecturer , and ha doubted not but every one present would _benelH by tho discourse . At its conclusion , Mr . O'Connor would answer any question that might be put to him . lie then called on Mr . Frank Miriield to read an address whieh had been prepared . Mr , Miriield ihei ; read the _followim _; address : —
" Honoured Sir and Noble Patriot , — A great length of time has elapsed since our town ha heen honoured with your presence . It has . been a source of regret ' to many of us , when we call to mind the petty , yet malicious annoyance you experienced when you wore last here * Since then every stratagem has been had recourse to , in the vain hope of __ destroying your usefulness , till at last your enemies have completely annihilated themselves . Their wholesale slanders hare stamped them the basest of mankind . Whatever abuse ol you wo find in tho sordid and prostrated press of this country , excite 3 no surprise nor inquiry . No , sir ; your straightforward and disinterested ' honesty for a great number of years has won for you tho golden opinion of aU good men . Little attention now paid
to your _revilers . I heir perfidious assertions carry less weight with them than the tomfooleries ofa merry andrew in a country fair . Honoured sir , yon havo been attacked in almost every conceivable form . One -party assailed you in an empty pretended philosophical style , while another lot of canting , wheedling hypocrites , full of as much low cunning as satan , have had their deceptive fling . Believe U 3 , sir , wc despise tho unholy efforts of tlioso just named , a * much as wo defy every brazen , barefaced , _blustering bully , who _chimca the same chorus . _When , sir , wiconsider you suffer all this , and ten thousand time * ' more than we can mime , for thc lofty and God-iikc
purpose of alleviating the sufferings of tho wholt human family , we cannot find words adequate to express our gratitude for your exalted virtues . Although , sir , wo venerate every good man , and would hy no means tarnish the character of modern patriots , nor _sulty the memory of ancient ones : yet sir , wc recognise no name among the heroes " ol liberty , ancient or modern , pastor present , greatei than thatof Feargus O'Connor . That your valuabh life may _hs long spared , and that you may for very many years witness your efforts wearing a crown oi success in the prosperity , happiness , and freedom oi our common countiy , is the sincere wish of The Men of Babsslky .
I lie address was unanimously carried in a crowded meeting , amidst the cheers of the assembled multitude . * Mr . O'Connor then rose , and as soon as the cheering , which his appearance called forth had subsided , lie replied to the address , and then launched into the Lund question , and delivered thc most eloquent and-energetic discourses ever listened to in this town . The honourable gentleman then made an appeal on behalf of Handloom Weavers of Knaresborough and tlio Chartist Executive , whicli was well responded to .
LONDON . _CiunTisr _Co-oi'rbativk Land Socirty . —Excursios to Bright s . —On Sunday last an excursion by railway of the members and friends of the Chartist Cooperative Society , residing in London , took place to Brighton .
