money expanded, for 13,390,521 f. 10a. ; the interest of four per cent. on the amount paid in by each shareholder will be paid on and after November 5, in raris, at ,±te::srs C. Laffitte, Blount, and Co. ; at Boulogne, at ..Niessrs. A. Adams and Co. ; and in London, at Messrs. Masttrman and Co. Each share will have a right to receive the sum of 11 f. 70c. When the Secretary had concluded, several share holders demanded explanation on various points. M. BUREAUD RIOFFREY inquired if it would not be possible for the board of directors, since the company had 12,000,000 f. in hand, to postpohe the calls until money was absolutely required ? - - The CHAIRMAN replied that the board of directors were not authorised to alter what was fixed on the point in question by article six of the statutes, which declared that " each of the seven other tenths should be payable from three months to three months after the date of the third tenth being required." The board would, however, give as much indulgence for the payment of the calls as possible ; and in place of having the shares of parties not paying up sold, as it had a right to do, it would only require interest from the period that the call was made. M. ADAM, Mayor of Boulogne, entered into some explanations tending to show the superiority which the Boulogne line must eventually possess over that of Calais. The accounts were then passed, and an authorization was granted to the board of directors to sell such por tions of land as were not required for the services of the company. The meeting then brcke up. _ _ . It may be as well to state' that the allusion made in the report of the kiad intentions of the Minister of Public Works refers to that Honourable Gentleman's having, during his late visit to Boulogne, expressed the willing ness of the French Government to bear a portion of the expenses of throwing a second bridge across the har bour, in order to connect the railway station with the town, in addition to that at present in the course of con struction, the whole cost of which falls on the Govern ment. He also declared that he was willing to support the project of further improvements in the port of lion logne— a matter of great importance to the company, as every amelioration in the port ought certainly to prove beneficial for traffic and general movement et the line. GREAT LUXENIBURG. A general meeting of the shar e holders of the above company took place on the 20th instant, at the seat of the Administration at Brussels. M. F. F. de Cloasman, the president, in the chair. The CHAIRMAN stated the origin and progress of the society. It had been the original intention of the fon• dateurs when they issued their prospectus to commence a line from the valley of the Meuse, near to Namur, to continue as far as Arlon. At that time it had never for one moment been contemplated that the advantage of the line could be so far increased as to fix its starting-place in the capital —at the very gates of the capital of Bel gium. Its original starting point was Namur; however, after increasing energy on the part of the direction, this desideratum had been secured to the company by an act of concession, dated June 18, 1846; thus were they em powered by means of their line to connect in the most direct manner Arlon and Luxemburg with the capital of the kingdom. The company had been definitely consti tuted, and its statutes confirmed by Act of 11th of September last, to which the royal assent had been subsequently affixed—in fact, every requirement pre scribed by the law of Belgium had been fulfilled to wards perfecting the legal constitution and authorisa• Lion of its statutes. Although the directors had sought for and obtained the increased advantages above-named to their original undertaking, they had felt it their duty to call a general meeting of the proprietors, in order to sub:nit to them their proceedings and to take their v up en what had been achieved on their behalf. With regard to the pros and cons that had been urged by another C,aapany he (the president) had only to take his standing upon the authority of the state, with regard to the position of their line ; their standing was authorised and guardel by all that could substan tiate and protect society. It was fur the meeting to decide by their free will whether they w, uld accept of the additional advantage offered to them by the directors, namely, of possessing themselves of Brussels as a starting point to their undertaking. The proposition was received with acclamation, and universally assented to. The CHAIRMAN then announced to the meeting that the interest on all deposits would be raised from 4 to 5 per cent., dated after the Ist instant. Every share holder would be at liberty to fulfil any outstanding lia bilities and avail himself of this arrangement. It was also assured to the meeting that the works should be immediately commenced and continued with the greatest activity. The direction have also announced that a repot t, setting forth every minutia of the comp my's operations is in the course of preparation and will be distributed immediately.

A custom has for some time been adopted by some Members of the House of Commons of meeting their constituents at the end of every session, of explaining their Parliamentary conduct, and ascertaining how far they have merited and received the approbation of the people. From the time when he was first honoured with the suffrages of the electors, the Hon and Learned Member for Bolton, Dr. BOWRING, has had recourse to this expedient, and has annually ap peared at Bolton to state the views he had formed, the votes he had given, and to inquire of the people whether, in their judgment, he had adequately ful filled the promises he had made, and whether they had to complain of any act of his, whether of omis sion or commission. Few senators could appear with cleaner hands or a better conscience before any public body than the Learned Doctor. He had not altered any of his preconceived opinions. A thorough acquaint ance with the doctrines of political economy, with the 'principles of government, enabled him to take an advanced position amongst the intelligence of the age, when few legislators could be found suf ficiently bold to announce themselves as the unflinch ing advocates of free trade, as the uncompromising opponents of that monopoly which taxed a nations food, restricted its trade, and cramped its energies. The Learned Doctor was to be found in the centre of that small, but zealous body, who disregarded the sneers and ridicule with which they were greeted and who unflinchingly demanded that the people should not be ground down and oppressed by class legislation, but that the true principle, " the greatest good to the greatest number, should be recognised and adopted. lle has had the happiness of seeing his views gaining daily adherents —the despised and slighted minority adding to their numbers, and attaining additional strength, until at length truth was triumphant, and those free-frade doctrines received the sanction of that very Parliament which at its first as sembling together was most strongly opposed to them, and measures of the most comprehensive character became the law of the land, and the ini quitous and unjust corn-laws were irrevocably re pealed. True it is, and deeply do we regret the fact, that that repeal was not total or immediate. Far better would it have been had it been so ; but still the grand principle of free trade was brought into operation, and a time was fixed when there should no longer be a tax on bread. The public mind was tranquillised, and they bore the present burden with patience, because they knew a time would come when they would no longer be subjected thereto. Circumstances have, however, arisen since the meet ing of Parliament, that have occasioned the necessity of an immediate opening of the ports for the free ad mission of food from every part of the known world. The mysterious dispensation of PROVIDENCE has permitted a blight to fall upon a portion of our crops, a general deficiency exists, prices of corn and bread stuffs have greatly increased, and we regret to say are still increasing. The question is no longer one of the agriculturists, or of the manner in which (what was erroneously supposed to be) their fall was to be broken, but the more serious and important one of how the people are to be fed and supported. Our Irish brethren are already exposed to all the pangs of famine and starvation, and several have already perished in a Christian land from want of the common necessaries of life. In far more favourable times than the present, when the emergency was not nearly so pressing, or the prospect for the future so lowering and threatening, that great and wise statesman who then presided over the destinies of the country had made up his mind as to the propriety and policy of opening the ports ; the experiment would then have been far more daring. At that time a great majority of both Houses of Parliament supported the protec tionist doctrines, and viewed those of free trade with the most uncompromising hostility. Sir R. PEEL was well aware that the course on which he had de termined would excite the most rancorous and en venomed animosity of the monopolists towards him• self ; that no means would be spared to harass and anoy him personally ; and he was uncertain as to the number of his supporters whom he might be enabled to convince and to carry along with him in his change ; yet he was prepared to brave all, to sacri fice party, political friends, and associates, and every of his country. Let us hope that our present Pre mier will be prepared to adopt a similar course in this season of far greater pressure, and when he is well secure of the acquiescence of a large majority of the Legislature in the propriety of that course. Nothing could be more handsome, or at the same time more just, than the manner in which the Learned Doctor spoke of the great destroyer of the corn-laws, Mr. COBDEN, and the progress of free trade opinions. He said, " That man, who above all other men represents the feelings of the manufactur ing population, is gone forth conquering and to con quer in other lands. By his own good sense he forced conviction, by his own quiet demeanour he conducted the judgment of others, and by his honesty and en thusiasm he will win golden opinions, and the time is not far remote when that which has been done at home will be accomplished abroad, and the barriers which have separated us from other lands will be broken down, enabling us to communicate to them the enjoyments of which we have a superfluity, and taking from them the produce which they have in excess. Free trade has found an utterance in France, free trade has found an utterance in Belgium, and even in Spain a committee has already been formed, and our high-minded friend has found a wel come in that once distinguished and heroic land. It has spread through Europe, and it is spreading in America and England, and now the words of wisdom and truth are echoed over the land. The voice of England is heard, and will still be heard, in support of the interests of our common humanity." Our space forbids further notice of the other topics alluded to by the Hon. Member. Suffice it to say, that a well-deserved vote of thanks was, at the termi nation of his statement, unanimously carried fur his past Parliamentary conduct. The Levant mail has arrived, bringing intelligence from Constantinople to the 7th, from Alexandria to the 9th, from Athens to the 10th, and from Malta to the 14th. In Constantinople we learn that CUEWKET BEY, a strenuous partisan of reform, and Minister of the Porte at Berlin, had been appointed Director of the Chancery of the Divan (Beylikdji); that Hus- SEIN, or Acna PAcuA, who acted so conspicuous a part in the destruction of the Janissaries, had been reinstated in the Government of Widdin ; and that HADJI-ETHEM-EFFENDI, the former inspector of the public expenditure—a man of talent and strict pro bity—had been named President of the Court of Accounts. Accounts from Alexandria state that the Nile bad risen to such an extent as to destoy entirely the maize crops near its banks, and materially injure the cotton crops. The English Consul, 21r. MURRAY, had just arrived at Alexandria in the Arid. The Oriental and Peninsular Steam Company has come to an arrange ment with the Government for the conveyance of its merchandise. The Government is to convey it at a rixed price, and to purchase from the company the two steamers which it has upon the Nile. A report was current at Alexandria that the SULTAN had or dered the Viceroy to prepare an expedition against Tripoli, but this rumour obtained no credit. There is nothing new from Athens or Malta. The news from Switzerland still continues satis factory. A letter from Berne, dated Oct. 19, thus describes the precaution adopted by the authorities for the pre servation of the public peace : " Since yesterday at three o'elcck, when the burgher guard charged with the bayonet, and dispersed the crowd which attaced the clvalry with stones in the square of the Corn Hall, which was being re-paved, the peace _of the city has not been seriously disturbed. Still, no small degree of agitation prevails, as much perhaps from fear of new conflicts as from the exceptional measures the police have taken. Thus, from apprehension that the rioters might shelter themselves in the houses which are generally kept constantly open, the Government has ordered all of them to be closed, has forbidden all chil dren under sixteen years of age to appear in the streets, and for two days the caf6 and all other houses of public entertainment have been kept constantly shut. Yesterday, in the evening, the Executive Council posted up a second proclamation, in which it recapitulates all the measures taken for preventing scarcity. It counter mands the purchases of corn, rice, and maize made by the Government, the suppression of the entrance duties on provisions, and the steps taken to obtain from the Federal Directory a repeal of the prohibitive measures adopted by ti - e neighbouring cantons. It then exposes • . ' • '-' • announces its firm resolution to enforce obedience to tine ' laws. Further arrests have been made to-day. What has caused the greatest sensation is the captivity of M. Juts Schmid, a native of Schwyz, a man of wealth, who a few years ago was naturalised as a citizen of Berne. " Eight in the evening.—The Government has just posted up a bulletin, making known`the measures taken by it for the maintenance of order, and which concludes as follows : " From all parts of the canton assistance has been tendered to the Government, with assurances of support in case of necessity. Twelve hundred armed volunteers from the country have already placed themselves at the disposal of the Executive Council. The Government has not thought fit, under present circumstances, to avail themselves of this patriot:c offer ; it nevertheless thanks the communes and individuals whom this concerns, and feels itself strong in its full confidence that the efficaci ous aid of the people will not fail it at the moment of danger.' ", On the 20th, which was the market day, the supply of provisions was abundant, and everything had passed off without any attempt at disturbance. At Geneva, in consequence of the concentration of French troops on the frontier, " the Provisional Go vernment has," says the Revue de Geneve, of the 22d "thought it necessary to take some military precau tions. The contingent has been placed en disponibilite, and some additions will be made to the fortifications on the frontier next to France. We learn that the Canton de Vaud has also ordered military measures. It has called out the troops d'elite, and appointed a c ommander-in -chief for the troops who may be as sembled." It appears that the States of the POPE have been the theatre of some serious disturbances, in conse quence of the opposition offered by the members of the old servile party to the liberal measures of the POPE. There has been a hostile collision, attended with serious loss of life, between these parties at Faenza. A letter from Bologna, of the 11th, gives the following account of the disturbances at Faenza : It appears that some of the young men of that town having gone to Russi, to celebrate by a little fete the amnesty, a number of the inhabitants of Borgo (a faubourg of Faenza, long remarkable for its support of the former state of things, and much opposed to the liberal measures of the new Porn), determined to attack them on their return. They accordingly marched out towards Russi, and seeing a body of men coming towards them, and supposing them to be the persons they sought, though they were only sportsmen, they fired, and wounded two of the strangers slightly. These per sons, on arriving at Faenza, lodged a complaint with the Governor, who at once ordered out the carbineers. They, however, it appears, had received positive orders from their commanding officer not to quit their barracks, and he himself could not be found to revoke the order. In this emergency the Swiss were called out, and some of the inhabitants joining them, an attack was made on 13orgo. A sharp fire was kept up on both sides, and several individuals were killed and wounded. The struggle lasted three hours, at the end of which period the young men of Faenza having returned from Russi, and Count Lova- TELLI, Pro-Legate of Ravenna, having arrived on the spot with two pieces of artillery, Borgo was occupied militarily, and declared in a state of siege. A num ber of the inhabitants had formed themselves into a band, and taken refuge in the mountains towards Tuscany. This intelligence has caused great excite ment in Romagna. In the meantime the POPE shows a bold front to his opponents. A letter, published in the Augsburgh Gazette, dated Rome, October 12, says— " It is certain that one or several cardinals have been conducted under a strong escort to the Castle of St . . An gelo, but that no one knows who they are or whence they come. The gate was closed immediately behind them, and no one is allowed to enter the castle. The position of Pope Pius IX., in respect to the cardinals, is shown by the fact that the new Council of State is composed solely of prelates, with the exception of the president alone." Another letter of the same date says— " The individual who is imprisoned in the Castle of St. Angelo is the author of the libel against the Pope, published some titr.e ago, and which created so much in dignation. The Pope has authorised the publication of a law journal, to contain full reports of all the proceed ings of the, courts of justice, which hitherto have been kept entirely secret. It is said that his Holiness intends to substitute imprisonment for life for the pain of death, which he wishes to abolish tetchy." ..•. . It does not appear that either Austria or Sardinia has as yet thought it necessary to march troops to wards the Swisi frontier. T si l d e er C° tre Pilf -11 - , - ... , ..i.. . ........,nod to mee t t o con petitions presented to them, prayh. e , them to vote against the intrusion of the Jesuits. The militia and artillerymen have declared, that in the event of an appeal to force they will not support the Government. ---...7 Madrid papers of the 18th have arrived. The Gaceta contains the long-expected amnesty. It extends for the military to all up to the rank of Colonel, inclusive ; and with regard to the civil ser vice to all up to the rank of Political Chief. There was a ball at the Palace on the 16th, at which Mr. BULWER was present. He left for Aranjuez on the 17th. The departure of the Duke and Duchess DE MONTPENSIER is fixed for the 21st. The Bolsa continued closed. . la t the run National, for tun ‘ a l We have received the Paris papers of Friday and Saturday. Several of the French provinces have been fear fully devastated by inundations. that every scourge Incen diary f•_res lighted by unknown hands have carried te country. deso cationlncen- into several departments , the dearth of provisions has increased the distress , and at present the rivers are overflowing, and the inundations ravage what had has thislt a p y p e e a a r r s," fallen s ay on escaped the fires. Entire villages have been swept away ; bridges , viaducts , ~ and considerable buildings have fallen to pieces. .Ih . e loss is not yet ascertained, nor is the number of victims yet known ; but the letters received from the scene of desolation are filled with la mentations." The devastations caused by the overflowing of the Loire have been dreadful. The Journal du Loiret, an Orleans journal, gives the following, dated the 21st, two o'clock, P.M. :- "The disaster continues. The Loire has again risen. It has increased nearly forty centimetres. Ile ac counts from the country are equally bad. It is im possible to form an estimate of the loss which the valley will have sustained." In another part of the paper, the Journal du Loiret gives afflicting details from the environs. Several houses had been washed down, but the loss of only one life is mentioned. In Orleans itself the inundation had produced great ca lamity. The Municipal Council had met and ordered the distribution of bread and tickets for lodgings to the numerous persons who had been driven from their homes. A letter from Tours states that the adjoining country was inundated, and the roads rendered im passable. In consequence of the floods the Bordeaux mail was not able to reach Paris on Friday. The communication between Paris, Lyons, Avig non, Marseilles, and all the south-eastern region of France, is completely cut off by the inundations. The accounts are, almost necessarily, imperfect, and often contradictory ; one thing, however, is certain, that the magnificent bridge over the Loire at Orleans, the viaduct connecting the Orleans and Vierzon Rail way with the terminus in that city, has been swept away ,by the resistless fury of the torrent. It cost 6,000,000 francs in the erection, and will probably delay the opening of that line for at least two years to come. French g oo d s The lli on i teur publishes a roya l or d onnance regu lating the t ar iff of t h e i s l an d of Bourbon. All into Bourbon, with the exception of s p irituous liquors, are in future to be admitted duty free on which a d u ty of 50f. per hectolitre is to be levied. A number of foreign articles for the brought . consumption of th e co l on y m ay hereafter be directly Irnported, but th e importation is in French bottoms to b e f avoured by a protective duty on those facilitate , an d extend the relat i lns o f th e co lony with by foreign vessels. With a view to the French establishments in the Mozambique channel, three -fourths of the duties are to be remitted to the French vessels importing those goods from Mayotte and its dependencies, and one-half if they proceed from Mascate and Madagascar. The pro ductions of China imported in French vessels are to pay 12 per cent. The prohibition imposed upon the colony to export its produce to no other country but France is maintained for sugar, coffee, and cotton, and the trade is thrown upen in other respects ; and should the measure be attended with favourable effects at Bourbon it will be applied to the French West Indi a islands.' The exports are to be free of all duty in French vessels, and are to pay a duty of 2f, per 100 kilogrammes in foreign vessels. The navi- . a as in the AVest Indies. The Constitutionnel of Friday contains the follow ing : " A report was current yesterday that certain changes in the Ministry, long in contemplation, are on the point of being effected ; that Marshal Soult absolutely retires from private life, and M. Guizot becomes President of the Council; that M. Hebert is to replace M. Martin (da Nord) as Minister of Justice; and that M. Passy suc ceeds to the Ministry of the Finances, in the room of M. Lacave Laplagne." The Commerce states that it was extremely pro bable that M. SALVANDY would be entrusted with the civil government of Algeria, in which case the ' portfolio of the Minister of Public Instruction would be confided to M. Rossr. A letter from Soissons says— _ "The price of wheat is beginning to decline in all the markets in this country, and is expected to be much lower before the end of January next. The uneasiness which had been caused by the efforts of speculators is beginning to abate, and it is now generally believed that the last harvest will be sufficient for the wants of the population."

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. (From The Sun of Last Night., The Cotton Market at Liverpool on Saturday was quiet. Sales, 4,000 bales, at previous rates. Shares were scarcely so good as on Friday. There are accounts of June 18 from Sydney, but they furnish no particular news. The colony was progressing quietly, and without any indication of reviving specula tion. From the tenour of the American letters and papers, per Great Western, it appears that the war with Mexico wid be prosecuted very vigorously, and that there is not the slightest hope, even if Santa Anna solicits peace, of the immense portion of his republic, now oc cupied by the United States troops, being ever again restored. As to effectual opposition, it is very justly considered by experienced parties in the City, that un less the European powers interfere, there can be none, and that the worst enemy of the American army will be the climate and fatigue they must necessarily have and endure. There were active efforts malting to ship extensive supplies of grain, especially Indian corn, to the United Kinglom, and this had materially enhanced freights, though the chief speculation was in cotton, which had been run up to what sober and reflecting persons appre hend, despite the continued reports of a short crop, will prove far too high rates. At present the commerce of America is in a tolerably healthy condition, but specula tion orce in the ascendant again, a retardment of consumption, with an eventual panic, must be the result. The editor of the .New York Herald, almost the only one who speaks out upon this subject, no doubt truly remarks : " Throughout the whole season of 1843 and 1844 we resisted the cry of short crops,' and by referring to our files, it will be seen, that we stated during the fall 0f1843, repeatedly, that from information in our possession, there was a strobg probability that the crop would exceed 2,000,000 bales, and advised operators to be cautious, and to base their calculations on that figure. The sequel that year showed the folly of indulging in that cry, with such a vast expanse of cotton grounds as are now under cultivation." And he goes on to argue that this year may prove a parallel, unless some parties prove wise in time. As to the growers, they act wisely by selling as fast as possible, and it will be the merchants who suffer in the event of a reaction. Respecting the commerce of New York we have the following " We have no doubt but that the shipment of agricul tural products from this port to Great Britain, during this month, will reach a very large amount. The account which every steamer brings us of the defi ciency in the crops of that country, and of Europe generally, will give a great impetus to exports, and immense quantities of bread-stuffs will be forwarded, both on domestic and foreign account, in anticipation of high prices and an extensive demand. The markets of the United Kingdom will be glutted with produce, and we fear many speculators will be terribly disappointed in their expectations." Advicos of October 5 from Montreal state that tho trading season was drawing to a close, and that the arri vals from England were anxiously expected. The express in anticipation of the Overland Mail does not bring any news of striking import, but the letters are not yet come to hand. The state of the money and -mer cantile markets appears to not so firm a market to-day for the Public securities, and the quotations may be called about per cent. lower. The tenour of the American accounts has had some effect. Consols have been marked 944 R for transfer to-morrow, and 94,1- to 95 for time.

For no infraction of the international laws, for no intolerable attempt to encroach upon the territories of a neigh. bouring state, for no actual infringement of the re gulations of political economy in its traffic with any other of the American princedoms or republics Mexico is threatened with the loss of its independence It is impossible not to sympathise with a hitherto free people under such perilous and disastrous cir cumstances ; and our sympathy is only increased with the reflection that the existence of this Mexican republic is endangered solely through the lust of empire and the passion for domination, whether it be over negro slaves or subsidiary provinces, inherent in the constitution of the citizens of the central portion of the northern continent. California has already followed Texas in the dis disgraceful and wholesale system of annexation which is regarded with so much favour in the United States. New Mexico has just been seized 'le ith a similar rapacity, and incorporated with the dominions of the States with the same shameless pecipitation. Other portions of Mexico must inevitably enrich the exche quer and extend the influence of the American Go vernment, unless the patriotism of the fellow •country men of Presi lent SANTA ANNA shall evince itself in some unprecedented act of hercism. Unless Mon terey or some other quarter be made the Marathon of Mexico, Vera Cruz will soon be as much subservient to the authority of Mr. Pore( and his colleagues as Boston or Washington. No neutral power has as yet interposed for the settlement of this melancholy and disgraceful warfare ; indeed, the proposed interfer ence of Great Britain was eagerly rejected, and the offensive and defensive forces have been consequently allowed hitherto to fight it out together " like decent Christians." Very speedily the existing maps of the western hemisphere will be entirely useless; the old lines of demarcation will be, in many instances, obli terated ; a nation will be blotted out from its surface ; and this metamorphosis will have been accomplished by a race of Liberalists, who, under the banners of freedom, and under a constitu tion framed by BENJAMIN FRANKLIN and GEORGE WASHINGTON, had marched forth, not so much for the spread of civilisation, as upon a career of mi litary devastation, and who had changed from peace able citizens into conquering despots. Those will inevitamy oe , . the occurrences which are now transpiring in North America, unless a more generous policy be infused into the councils of President POLK, or unless the warlike counsels of President SANTA ANNA be re sponded to by the Mexican civilians. For the sake of humanity, for the sake of all liberal institutions, for the sake of the stability and independence of every lesser nation, we deplore the recent proceedings of the American forces aqd the principles latterly adopted by the American Legislature. They are subversive of the kindlier and nobler impulses of government ; and beyond this they associate the sword of justice with the sword of a pillaging cap tain, the cap of liberty with the crown of tyranny. The intelligence just received by the packet-ship Washington Irving and the steam-ship Great Western is corroborative of all our previous anticipa tions. It tends to illustrate the resolute refusal of the new Mexican President to accede to the rapacious advances of his opponents ; it shows, moreover, in a stronger light than ever the thirst for conquest in which this expedition has originated. General KEAR NET capturz-s Santa R!, and by so doing takes forcible possession of the surrounding countries called New Mexico. Immediately upon the retreat of General ARMIJO to Chihuahua the American invader formally annexes the entire province to the United States, and by a pleasant effort of political legerdemain transformed himself from simple General into Go vernor of New Mexico ! There is no mincing hypo crisy in these proceedings ; they are done in the full glare of public observation, and in open defiance of all the dictates of municipal decorum. Resolved, if possible, to weary out the patriotism of the invaded population, the Americans are now quartering their armies upon the conquered districts. By foraging excursions they are striving to undermine the in fluence of SANTA ANNA. Not satisfied with inciting General TAYLOR to march for ward on the Rio Grande in spite of every opposition, the Legislature of the States endea vours to worry the Mexicans into some immediate concession by defraying none of the expenses of pro visions, but by feeding their soldiers by contributions from all the larders encountered in their progress. This is in perfect keeping with all the preceding arrangements of the assailants. The consequence continues to be, of course, of the same dubious cha racter. A battle was seriously anticipated, but the effects of such an encounter were variously estimated by those who placed reliance on the ambition by which the American bosoms are fired, and the desperate anxiety for self-preservation by which the Mexicans would be animated. We cannot consider these'facts without entertaining an earnest sympathy for an unfortunate race and an almost powerless patriot. A representative of the people should enter the Imperial Parliament free and unfettered. He should not be a mere delegate, to give a fixed vote on par ticular questions to be ever regarded in the same point of view, no matter what intervening circumstances might have occurred to justify or demand an alteration in his opinion. If every senator was so firmly pledged and bound there would be little occasion for the debates that take place during the continuance of the session; the result would be well known in every instance, and the sitting of Par liament might be terminated, and the business dis posed of in a less number of weeks than it requires ,nonths under the present system. There are higher luties and far greater qualifications required from he legislator selected to represent the wants and wishes of any constituency. He should he a man of profound and varied inforrnetion, of sound judgment, and good common sense. He should be competent to arrive at a just decision on the several measures that may from time to time be submitted for his ac ceptance, and to maturely weigh the various reasons and arguments by which they are supported. He should have formed his opinions on the great and leading questions of the day, and le prepared when coming before his constituents ma nfully to declare them, and also the reasons by which. he was actuated in coming to these conc l us i o n s ; a n d, if by an y c h ange I either in himself or those by whom he was elected, he should at any time find that a great variance exists ~~~ Do., q Shares (5 per u.t...c.,,i,.iystwita,aud Central of Wales 1%......

The Indian mail of the lsth September, just re ceived, is barren of intelligence of an exciting natu re ' but is cheering as to the state of the country in general.
