Ir Lot's NAPOLEON had been required to give Europe a demonstration of his coofidsuce in his own power he could hardly have complied more elite tually than by ansounciog a policy of free trade just aa he has made the priesthood of France and Home his enemies. He has, however, had the courage to do this, and there is every reason to be lieve that he will be jastified by the result. How a►e we, as Englishmen, to regard this new develop ment of French commercial policy ? Shall we say that it is the trait and pledge of the entente cordials —a conceesion to Eogliab interests or an approxima tion to English ideas? Heaven forbid! We could place no confidence in the proposed legislation if we were not convinced, as every enlightened man in France is isonvinced, that it has its roots deep in French iiireretts, and is nothing leas than the best policy which our neighbours could adopt, whatever the opinion and practice of other' nations might be. The Emetics' only says what 1 great Frenchmen have said before him when he sets forth that coasumption is the true final cease of industry. This is the sum of the teaching of the CHE- T *LIM sad BAOTIATi. Had the legislation of Frl2loll been guided by the mind of France, it would not Mw beee left for the Emetics to inaugurate free Made by this new letter. To him belong. the incon testable IMPEit of &ormolu and courageous endeavour to make the prosperity of the nation, instead of the aggrandisement of a few " intereets," his aim. It Is net inconsistent with the strict nationality which we ascribe to the Imperial policy that the success of the fns trade experiment in England may have had much to do wrh its adoption. It is the right and duty of every nation to profit by the expert once of its neighbours. To every reflecting snaa it has long been clear that the facts observed of the progress of ditfereot nations, and of which the knowledge is spread everywhere by the preset must guide and control the thought@ sad minds of the rulers of society as well aa et Mbar MSG, and bring their eoaduet into conformity to what gerund opinion declared to be good and trot. Oa this account we have directed attention to the frets which illustrate the progress of different nations rather than to the opinions and sets of individuals, a• the preferable burns of all sound polities' judgment. Nor heel, we ever doubted that free trade, which has led to such a great increase of oar prosperity, toilet speedily become the policy of all the stations of the civilised world. Oar success has operated on the mind of Louis NAPOLEON, and induced him, of his owe free will, to adopt course which will improve Francs and promote pear•• between the two leading nations of the civilised world. Precedieg rulers of France have undertaken, hke NAPOLEON 111., to give an impetus to industry and commerce, and have sought to accomplish this by Irmo* which i he Earstoltdeclaresonly renders them stamenary. Tne shandant were and large protium which the working popteatioa and their employers maturaily desire ere it consistent wit► protective duties, and meet b. sought in the increased con. gumption of the people. This is a Wren which, as the shipoe errs Lave lately remieded us, is not yet perfectly learned in oar own country. The PArrraun proposes to brgin *wily as we begin our great commercial reforms, THE EXPRE is T lIES I) A Y by patting an end to all trim on the nsua latEng raw materials of indents, a n d the duties on arti c l es o f gener a oo sushi ee coffee and sugar. )4m-eim pro , sup: press all restrictions, ankto liberate it industry from internal itopedimillkoirldsit p Ns embe dition of inferiority. He dais not mention coal and iron, in which we are amseially interested ; but then . waxen to remember that we have not seen the men- ewe itself, bat merely ea indicatiou of the direction of legislation. We may infer, too, that Frenchmen expect to me the duties on iron reduced when we Ind the great metsetionist and even prohibitionist organ, the Cbaltiedioweisl, boasting, with reference to hie MAJIMITT'd letter, that the French ironmastme are able to compete with the foreigner, and stating, by way of evidence of the fact, that they have lately underbid some of the first firma of Belgium in a con tract for sapplytng rails for the Roman lines. The Ex rentia's plan extends further to improving the means Otesasmunieation, redwing canal d me, and promoting the formation of railroads and other ways. He means also, in imitation of what has been done here —though this is contrary to free trade, and has not our individual approbation—te ad vases mosey to landowners for drainage and Geiser improvements of land. He intend,' also to Militate manufacturing industry by loans, and to undertake useful public work,. In short, the pro gramme describe' the outline of a great tree-bode policy such as we have gradually for forty yam and Sow very extensively carried out. Not approving of those parts of the plan by which the Imperial Government is to do what had -better be left to the competition of individuals, we must remind oar readers that in Franca a great system of control has grown up for arm, and been extended to almost livery part of life. Suddenly to change this system is not possible. Even in setting isidestry from the Els- PMllOlt Mobil.* to retain a regulating function for the Government, and so to do his work by halves. We cannot say • "weed against him for adapting his conduct to thry opinions and practices of his own countrymen. Rather we regard it as s additional proof of his sagacity. At the same time, we are sure that the new interests which will speedily grew up as industry is partially liberated will require, and are the best mesas of quietly en- miring, the farther reforms necessary for perfect freedom. The present is not the beginning of an improved system that wee made before, it is a vast extension of it, which will lead to an extension still 1 more vast hereafter. 4 -: That it will very much promote the welfare of the French, increase their knowledge and skill, sad in gresses the power of Fraser, sensot be doubted. In , that we must rejoice rather than be sorrowful. Our great industrial and commercial improvement has promoted very much the industrial and com mercial improvement of France, and of all the coun tries of Europe. We can in reasoe, therefore, ex pect that the improvement in Francs should redound to the advantage of England and other coustries. The effects on us, however, will depend chiefly on ourselves. Our prosperity is determined at all times flat more by our own exertions than by what is done by ear neighbours. The EMPEROR by this MISGEnfil "gives to England and to Europe the very beet *esserity fee the continuance of pesos I" and Lt fs our business to acoept . it cordially sad greesklly, and promote its success, in order to secure this blow isg fee ourselves and our posterity. The intentions of OUP own Government have net I bast avowed, bat we notice in the Edinburgh Review an article evidently by aa official hand, which im plies that the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER is engaged in reforming the tariff, and doss set limit his views to mere fiscal considerations. lie is ready, we presume, to revise our fiscal system as high natioeal principles as well as on mere revenue considerations. There are in our tariff certain duties on silks, 80. , which yield very little revenue, and are intended as &protection for a very few of our manufacturers against their French competitors; and there are certain other duties on wines and spirit., which, originally enacted on • principle of hostility to France, yield a considerable sum to the revenue. The entire existence of the few silk manufacturers benefited—if any are, which we doubt—by these duties, and the whole sum obtained both by silk and wine duties, are as duet in the balance compared to the immediate and immense advantage we should derive from convincing the French by oar conduct that we are heartily desirous to promote their prosperity, Lad enable their EMPEROR to suc ceed in his wise and noble project. By not waiting for any treaty, but at ones taking the initiative in doing what is right with respect to these duties in our own eyed, we shall preserve the independence of our policy. It will not become con tiegent on what another State may do; and while we enlist in our favour and in support of the En rzaoa'n policy the suffrages of the wins powers and silk manufacturers, we shall command the respect of France. tut eon es • • wit •• • ~.. by P M" flieliow. part p r i me . • "'"" : Araks, wen A t shosihs, avoided by Lienteebihb-Colosial Porosby a Chriella Grey.

This duchy is hemmed is by the Neapolitan territory; it is very strongly fortified by nature and by its isolated position, and would offer a aware mayhem to the Pope in the event of an insurrection in his states.

(PION arl OWN cokIutsPONDNKT.) PARIS, MONDAY MVIININO. • The Emperor's letter on the new commercial sys tem which he proposes to introduce into Franoe is naturally the great topic of the day. The journals speak of it with much caution, and it is buy to per ceive from the tenor of their remark.' how strongly they participate in the esteems sensitiveness with which commercial interests in France regard any meddling whatever with the tariff. The Debate, the able and consistent advocs4e of the principle of tree trade, gives way to no extravagant rejoicing. It merely says: We need scarcely point out to oar readers the most im portant passages of this letter. The phrase "the encourage meat of cuurnerce by the multiplication of means of ex change will then fo.low as the mutual otatequisee of the preceding measures" leads to the belief that the suppression of prohibitions and the conclusion of sew trestles of com mart* are not so near at head es was at that believed. Nevertheless, the English journals announce as 1111Mtliellt the commercial conventions which have boa talked of dating the last few days. The protectionist Constittaionnel beats about the bush as follows: Thu letter is an event, and an event of the most impot tent kind. Bat we will to-day only make a sink, observation : It was be the midst of the war in the Crimes, sad of the anxieties caused by a conflict which was distant and fall of uncertainties, that the Itesperor resolved that manufactures sad the floe arta should submit to the judgment of the stringed world their productioca and their olisfe d'oeuvre. It was dating that gigantic war that he died as Francs to redouble her pacific efforts and activity. It was then that the works which are sufficient to seam Um glory of a rigs were carried on with the posinst zeal, —rianesiy, the transformatioa of Paris, the setatdishment of histitatiees of stab& credit, the opening or execution of railways in ell parte, the establishment of municipal institu tions, and Lioancial reforms. And now, just Idler the con. elusion of a war which has profoundly agiburd all Europe, sad of which all the consequencee are not yet dellaidvely regulated, t►e Emperor heeitates not to truce for the second time the prodigious programme of his internal policy. These two circumstances are in themselves most instructive. With out, however, going at Kama to the bottom of things, we are happy to have to show that the chief of the state is net ler &DLiOtlll fur the prosperity of Fraooe than for her glory and her honour. The &edit, evidently afraid of offending its pro tectionist subscribers, makes many reserves : The new system et:mediates a bond fife revolution in the politico-economical system of Francis and of the other RIMY pearl powers. Then is one part of this letter which bay be approved of withent reserve—that which proposes the sup pression of the duties levied ore certain raw smateriala, tee progreseive rednotlia of the duties ou sugars sad coffee*, the improvement of the mesas of commustication, the sale of • part of the communal properties, loans to 'grimacers and induetry, the replanting of the mountains, Irrigation, and works of public) utility. The swamies of prohibitions to be replaced by proceeds, genies, the conclusion of treaties of commerce with the other powers of Europe, raise questions so complicated sad difficult that they can only be properly Kiva after careful study. The suppression of prohibitions 4 un doubtedly • homage to an excellent principle ; but la Gaeta -4g these changes we cannot overlook the feet that large capitals sod the satire fortunes of many are invested in m•sufactures which hive not hitherto hese exposed to com petition. They will amarquently require to be protected for some time yet, in order to save them from tots' ruin. We have often expressed our opinions on the customs question. The grand object we have in view is liberty of commerce, but to be attained gradually, as oar 'manufacturers shall become able to dispense with protection. The spirit of pro greet, which acetates us in ell thing., will be our guide in dile/wag the different bills whion will be submitted to the Legislative Body; and while we readily socept all partible ameliorstioes, we shell remember, in the interest of our meenfisotures end our national wealth, the L din verse attri buted to Louis XVIII. : " Qui mafiosi petit, caved paters novando." The Bourse wu decidedly acted upon f►vourably by the letter; but it must be said that the improved quotation at which the Rents opened was due in • much greater degree to the confidence which the Emperor expresses in the maintenance of peace than to any great appreciation of the benefits of free trade. Another cireumstance which came nearer home to the feelings of the speculators wu the news that the admission fee to the Bourse is positively to be abo- lished. This intelligence is oonfirmed by a separate paragraph in the Pays. The Rente opened at Mfr. 15c. both for cash and account ; it afterwards fell to 69fr. and 69fr. 900., and closed at precisely 69fr., being a rise of 25e. and 350. Mobilise rose life. 25c. The Orleans Railway rose 10fr., Western sfr., and the other lines from lfr. to 31r. At the theatre in Pesth, on the Bth, a disturbance took plane. It was caused by the coebestra playieg a ()er ase waltz, to which the auditory objected ; sod the tumult raised wee so great that the musicians were at length obliged to mess the execution of that air. A Tunis letter in the Conatibitiotettel says : "Sidl-Mahammed-Re-Bddek, the new Bey, is about forty years a age, or, as the Arafat oall it, in the full fora* of lids lad maturity of mind. He is very waive; rims at six, and transacts business with his ministers at semi. He surrounds himself with the beet advisers, and before deciding on any thing Important takes the opinion of those best able to en lighten him. He has at the head of his government Sidi- Moustapba-Hhasuader, • minister whose capacity has kept him in office under threw successive reigns." A letter from Valeggio, of the 12th, in the amatitutionna, contains the following:—" You will in a few days see is the journals, if it barn not already appeared, a fact of extraordinary temerity—the desertion in a body from Mantas of 600 Hungarians, all armed and equipped, and headed by their commandant. From Cassal-Maggiore. where they arrived in the night, they proceeded to Crouton*, where they snot with • magnificest reception." . _ _ _ The Bishop of Barcelona has published a violent pastoral letter on the subject of the Pepsi States.

He, however, *shorts his flock to pray for the Pope, end to do all they ens to mean him In his present Madam la the mans of the letter, the prelate says some sharp things of the famous French pamphlet. The state of Arkansas has passed a law to banish all free nevem from its booed", end it earns into effect on the lot day of January. 1860. Every free aegro found there after that date will be liable to be sold Inc,slavery, the mime of freedom being unpardonshis.
