From tnearst moment the Republican Government of the United States turned a covetous glance to wards Texas, Mexico was doomed to misfortunes and anxieties which have no parallel even in her own pre ceding history. Her liberties were threatened, her frontiers were transformed into practising grounds for the ca valry of Tennessee and Kentucky, from her mountainous passes were to debouch the regiments of her Amer!ican invaders. Grievances, however, were not only rendered unavoidable to the Mexican population by the shameless seizure and annexation of Texas, but a :multiplicity of disasters, a deplorable effusion of blood, an interminable anxiety and a lavish expenditure of specie became the ne cessary recompense of the spoilers. The scheme of territorial aggrandisement which was thus developed has been the incubus of the one republic and the curse of the other. Conceived in villany, it has been prosecuted in woe. What does Mr. WEa srER, of Massachusetts, say of this predatory expedi tion ? Why, he says this ; in a vast assemblage at Boston he says this : " The great objection to this war is that it is illegal in its character !" Aye, illegal. Cavil as Mr. President PoLK. may about the expediency of the undertaking, vituperate as he may upon the faithlessness of his Spanish-American neighbours, repudiate as he may all insinuations as to the avarice of his administration, the illegality of the Mexican war is a fact that burns too brightly to be extinguished. It beacons the indignation of other countries. It inspires in every generous mind the deepest sympathy with a people whose vices and whose sluggishness would otherwise have only ex• cited disgust and derision. And what, in Heaven's name, have been the advan tages wi'lich the Government of the United States has proposed to itself for all this waste of life and of revenue ? The annexation of Mexico to the Republic created by the genius of FRANKLIN and the integrity of WASHINGTON is manifestly impossible There is nothing whatever homogeneous in the nature of the two countries ; on the contrary, there is everything antagonistic. They could never coalesce, they could never even hope to coalesce. Mexico must be utterly depopulated, and subsequently colonised by staunch citizens of the United States, before there could be any submission in that enormous country. The army of General TAYLO R would have to penetrate beyond the Rio Grande to the most southern extremitie s o f Mexico, slaughtering every and human being i t m i g h t encounter, men,_ intended i e the g n o h c hildren, indiscrimi nately,iiveh if the E xecutive seriously sub jection of thos e reg i ons. It isi conceivable enough cutivation, that our brother of America woulreah we lr territory so cap a bl e of profitable in !io gigantic in its . extension, situated i n kekti;Al, / , 14 position i n this terraqueous globe, , r~ .. :a -1/,}7 .41 THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 4. 1t46. commanding the two great oceans, studded upon its marine boundaries by such admirable inlets and har bours, joined to the noble land of which he himself is a denizen. It is conceivable that he should be am bitious to behold those pinnacles which had been formerly adorned with the standard of the heroic CORTEZ, flouted by the star-spangled banner. It is even conceivable that he should yearn for the prosperity of the agriculture and the commerce of Mexico, provided the riches resulting therefrom tended to the emolument of his original home. All these aspirations are conceivable enough, because they would be most in accordance with the national vain glory and individual self-esteem which are so conspicuously the characteristics of the men of the United States. It is incredible, however, how a Government can trifle with the repu tation of a people entrusted to their guidance and protection, as the Government of Mr. Polk has done since its first establishment to the present moment, but especially in this Mexican invasion ! The scorn of civilised Europe is accounted as nothing when weighed in the brazen balance of their avarice. The members of that Administration are obdurate to all the pleadings of the popular voice; they are indif ferent to the obloquy which is inevitable on the ful filment of their unconscientious policy. They boldly adventured upon the subjugation of Mexico, and the result of that movement has been—large draughts upon the public purse , pain ful marches of the American soldiery, the double disgrace of their naval forces at Alvarado, a bloody and unprofitable victory under the walls of Monterey, the precarious occupation of California and New Mexico, and a prospect of the most discouraging obstructions, to their further ad vancement, both from man and from nature. On the departure of the last intelligence from the Western Continent, General TAYLOR still continued at Monterey, fearful of proceeding into the interior from the probability of a scarcity of shelter and pro visions—the cottages being burnt, the crops being destroyed, and the villages evacuated by their in habitants, in that direction. The Commander-in-Chief, General SANTA ANNA, had hastened from the capital to obstruct the progress of the invaders, or, as he himself intimated in his memorable manifesto, to drive them ignominiously beyond the frontiers, or to die fighting. It is distressing, however, to reflect that, in conse quence of the apathy of his countrymen, that patriotic chieftain was accompanied on his departure by merely 2,000 cavalry and 1,000 infantry, and was furnished with a military chest containing only 27,000 dollars. With these and the remnant of the forces of Amrume, he will have to defend Saltillo, providing General TAYLOR has the temerity to pro ceed there forthwith, or, in case of discomfiture at Saltillo, to fall back upon San Luis Potosi, and re pulse the enemy under the protection of its fortifica tions. We should feel infinite trepidation as to the effects which such a disparity of numbers would have upon Mexico were we not inspired with a confidence in the invincible power of true patriotism, and in the invulnerable character of even a small band of men fighting for the liberties, the independence, the integrity, and the very existence of their common country. " lieu pietas ! Heu prisca fides ! invictaque bello Dextra! non illi quisquam se impune tulissot Obvius armato." 'With fidelity to their national cause, with con fidence in the sacred nature of their office as de fenders of their native land, with a stern employment of their military capacities, they may triumph over the most monstrous dis proportion of numbers. LEONIDAS is not the only tes timony that these miracles of warfare are possible. SANTA ANNA is clearly animated by a high ambition, an ambitio❑ which the most de pressing circumstances will scarcely abate. In the face of the whole world he has proclaimed his determination to be true to Mexico— to be staunch in his patriotism —to conquer ' or to die. He has staked everything upon the issue of this war—his name, his fame, his fortune, his re putation, his intellect, his life. He has abandoned everything to lead his countrymen to battle. He has forsaken the safety of his seclusion at Havannah, he has neglected the allurements to self-aggran dizement which have been presented to him by the confusion of Mexican affairs ; he has rejected the supreme command as President, he has thrown aside all the baubles of office, and despised all the decoys of physical enjoyment, to march upon the invaded frontiers in the simple capacity of a soldier. The Mexicans must rouse themselves from their ignoble torpor, and repay the generosity and magnanimity of SANTA ANNA by their limbs and their money. De cisive measures must be taken, otherwise Mexico may be afflicted by years of :misfortune. A short while since considerable anxiety existed in various parts of the kingdom in favour of opening the ports for the admission of foreign corn ; and at that time it was not unnatural that a large portion of the public should have manifested an eager desire to press upon the Government to effictuate their wishes. But, though the desire was a natural one, it did not follow that it would have been, therefore, sound policy on the part of the Executive to have abolished the fleeting remnant of protection. Those who me morialised the Minister for instantaneous free trade in grain were, a few weeks back, environed by specious circumstances of apprehension, which certainly justi fied them in bringing their views prominently under the notice of the Premier. The belief was then very general that throughout Europe the late harvests were very thin, that with respect to our own, quantity and quality considered, it was below the average, and that the prices of corn, which had risen so rapidly at home, would continue to increase. Moreover, we were ex porting corn to France ; and it was further conceived, that the extreme destitution of Ireland could not be safely met in any other way than by throwing our ports open to the introduction of every species of grain, free of duty. Happily, how ever, these fears have, in a great measure, turned out to be groundless. In America, on the shores of the Baltic, in most of the provinces of France, in Bel gium, and in Egypt, the crops of the current year, it is now ascertained, have been most prolific. To France we some time since ceased to export, and never should have exported at all, had not that country, like our own, been seized with a fallacious panic. Bread is already lowered in price, and by the extraordinary measures of the Parliament and Go vernment combined, the worst feature of the whole, the direful exigency of Ireland, has been prevented reaching the fearful height to which it was anticipated it would attain. Still, notwithstand ing we have been thus statistically and otherwise relieved from serious misgivings, others of our coun trymen have been unable to shake off their despon dency. Accordingly, a deputation from the citizens of London waited upon Lord JOHN RUSSELL, about three weeks since, to urge the opening of the ports. His Lordship assured them that this step should be taken, if demanded by any " extraordinary neces sity." Dissatisfied with this answer, another deputa tion from the same quarter attended upon Sir GEORGE GREY on Wednesday, for the purpose of presenting, through the Right Hon. Baronet, a memorial to her MAJESTY for trade in foreign corn, duty free. The memorialists alleged that they had ceased to repose confidence in the Premier, because, in his celebrated letter to the electors of London, in November, last year, he had advocated the abolition of all duties on corn, but now declines to sanction their immediate extinction. Mr. CHARLES COCHRAXI3, who was the spokesman, harped upon this letter, :and inasmuch as Lord JOHN RUSSELL last autumn advised large de monstrations to be got up in favour of opening the ports, .Mr. COCIIRANE sought to extract from the Secretary for the Home Departs lent, whether, by the words " extraordinary news:,ity," the Noble Lord, his colleague, designed that Trz-nerous meetings should be assembled, as in such case he undertook to have one, to the amount of fifty thous and persons, in Palace-yard, within eight days. Sir GEORGE GREY replied with statesmanlike felicity. He could only answer for himself. It was not for lim to construe the expression used by the Prime X *nister ; but he conceived that such a meeting as si vested by Mr. COCIIRANE would not constitute the " necessity" re ferred to by Lord JOHN, but rather " a certain class of statistical facts bearing on the can dition and the circumstances of the country." The proposition of Mr. COCIIRANE might amount to. nothing more than a demonstration of physical force , whereas moral force alone would govern any advio a which Sir G. GREY, and, no doubt, Lord JOHN l tUSSELL, would tender to the Quzzx for opening VI e ports. Num- , hers alone would never suffice ; they must be joined to a sound and comprehensive view of all existing circumstances. One of the most obvious of these would be, what seems to be entirely forgotten by Mr. COCHRANE, that since Lord JOHN addressed his electors in November, 1845, the whole question of import duties affecting grain has undergone solemn deliberation in the Legislature, and given birth to an Act which, for the magnitude of the interests it dealt with, cannot be lightly superseded by an order in Council ; and the emergency must be " extraor dinary" indeed which could justify a Minister in dispensing with its enactments. Another circum stance is, that Parliament will now be shortly assem bling., and certainly there is no paramount pressure, arising either from want of food or employment, that imperiously calls upon us to urge the Minister to the serious and responsible step of removing off hand the slight remaining and terminable duties upon foreign corn. Practically, it is a constitutional privilege which we enjoy of express ing to the Government, freely and unreservedly, our feelings and views upon any public question, but we are not clear that, in the present instance, the privi lege has been resorted to with due consideration. The want of unity of action, of a cordial co operation amongst her more favoured children, for the benefit of their common country, has long been one of the chief causes of the unhappy condition of our sister kingdom. The civil and religious differ ences that so long prevailed, the party dissensions, the rancorous hostility with which the professors of different political principles regarded each other, were the sad results of long years of misgovernment and oppression, during which the ruling powers practised with too fatal a success the vile expedient of fostering the animosities and exciting the prejudices, of the people. "Divide et imperil' was the rule of government. To one class every encouragement was afforded; they were placed in the enjoyment of ex clusive rights and exclusive privileges ; they were taught to regard their brethren as their inferiors, to believe that they were entitled to an ascendancy over them, that they were beings of a superior creation, and that they might with impunity insult and domi neer over the vast majority of the people, whom they looked upon as " Born for their use." Party processions were encourage) ; the exhibition of the most hostile feelings, the most inveterate preju dices, were sanctioned and approved of. All the honours and emoluments of office were distributed amongst the favoured few, while the many were ground down by harsh laws and oppression, and sub jected to penal restrictions and to civil and religious disabilities. Is it to be wondered at that a wide line of demarcation separated the different sections, that no cordial or friendly feelings existed between the oppressors and the oppressed, that one party should struggle hard to maintain the position they once had occupied, while the other, awakened to a knowledge of their real strength, should persevere in their exertions until they obtained a full and per fect equality, and the enjoyment of entire liberty of conscience—that each defeat should more deeply em bitter the feelings on the one side, and cheer the other with the anticipations of further victories and successes. Neutrality was impossible. The adage of " those who are not with us are against us" was never more strictly true than in Ireland—there could be no halting between two opinions : the man who hesitated about going the extreme length with his party was looked upon as a traitor, and regarded with greater dislike and hatred than an avowed opponent. Such was the state of things in Ireland towards the close of the first quarter of the present century. There was, however, an improved feeling beginning to manifest itself throughout both kingdoms ; anti quated prejudices were exploded, more liberal and enlightened views of government prevailed. It was felt in high places that men should not be sufferers for conscience sake, that every man should be per mitted to worship his CREATOR in the manner which he believed to be most proper, that there should be no interference between him and his GOD. Catholic Emancipation became an open question, as it is termed in the Cabinet, and several of the Ministry joined in the demand for freedom to their Roman Catholic brethren. The then Premier died, and CANNING succeeded to the vacant office, but he bad not sufficient power to carry the" great question. Ile was cut off in the pride and vigour of intellect, at a time when the public mind:and public hope was cxcited to the highest pitch, when all liberal-minded Enen were looking forward with intense interest to the :meliorations that were expected. His principles, however, died not with him ; the good seed had been sown, and fresh converts flocked daily to the side of freedom of conscience. His successor said that it was in vain to attempt to stem the torrent, to resist tile popular will, firmly and deliberately expressed ; he yielded, and carried the great measure of Catholic Emancipation. But his victory was fatal to his _Ministry, and he speedily was compelled to surrender power into the hands of his great competitors. It is to be regretted that the measure so carried ;vas not as full and perfect as the friends of liberty 4.0u1d have desired. It was clogged with conditions, and certain regulations, which, though of no practical value, and affording no additional securities, took greatly away from thegrace of the boon, which tended 'to show the existence of suspicion and distrust, and plainly testified that the measure was conceded not on grounds of natural justice, but simply because there was not sufficient strength to render further resis tance safe !or practicable. Obsolete laws were still suffered to disgrace the statute-book, which, though never attempted to be put in force or brought into 'operation, were yet looked upon as badges of infe riority, as marks of reproach, to seven-eighths of the Irish nation. It could scarcely, however, be hoped I:hat every vestige of bigotry and intolerance could be !.wept away at a moment's notice, that ancient prejudices would be removed without some interval elapsing. It is unnecessary to trace It he various ameliorations brought forward by Lords GREY and MELBOURNE, and subsequently by Sir ROBERT PEEL and Lord Jous RussELL, until the last remnant of the atrocious penal code was, with all but unanimity, expunged from our laws during the past session. The heads of the two great parties who ould alone hope to be placed at the head of affairs, Ito rule the helm of the vessel of the State, have now 'cordially agreed on the principle by which Ireland is ;Henceforward to be governed, viz., that she is to be iplaced on a footing of full and perfect equality with England in her civil, political, and municipal institu tions. It may be hoped that when this great doc trine is fully carried out that jealousies will cease, :and that as there is nothing to be lost on the one side I:,r gained on the other, there will no longer be any ;reason for those ridiculous antipathies, those absurd quarrels, that have proved so injurious to the national interests, that have impeded and interposed obstacles t o the attainment of every measure calculated to im- prove the condition of the country. What is now 3required by Ireland is, that all Irishmen should Lay aside their petty disputes and differences, and Labour zealously in the common cause ; the great object now with all parties should be the relief of the existing distress, the consideration of the means 'by which the people may be fed, and famine averted i!"rom their shores. There is a glorious field for emu lation, for the exhibition of zeal and activity; let vas hope that it may be taken advantage and that none will hang back, or refuse to avail themselves of beneficial suggestions, because they may happen to emanate from those who have been heretofore their political opponents. We regret to observe that there is some exhibition of such a feel- ing, and that in quarters from which we should have Loped for better things. Many noblemen and gentle men have seceded from, and sent in their resignations as members of, the Agricultural Society of Ireland, _ _ in consequence of the partial suspension of the 14th rule. We think that they have been premature in so doing. Nothing could be more improper than the introduction, in such a society, of abstract political questions, which might and would lead to the ex- pression of different views ; but, on the other hand, nothing would be more proper than that an Agri- cultural Society should take into their consideration every measure likely to be submitted to Parliament during the ensuing session, for the development of the agricultural resources of Ireland. We trust, therefore, that, until the privilege that has been conceded for the discussion of such questions should be in some manner abused, those whose co-operation is so desirable will still remain mem bers of the society, and act together for the general welfare. The society has heretofore united persons of every shade of political opinion, let us hope that such may still be the case, and that all who take an active interest in the agricultural improvement of Ireland may still remain enrolled in its ranks. We do not question the motives of the seceders, but we fear that the consequences of their act may be most injurious to the country, and we call upon them to pause before they adopt so decided a course. A letter from Schleswig, of the 25th ult., says : " Two resolutions came to yesterday by the States, one for a new and separate constitution for the Duchies, by a majority of 36 to 2; the other for the incorporation of Schleswig with the Germanic Diet by a majority of 34 to 3, have caused a great sensation here; but it is said that they are contrary to the con stitution of the States, which require that all funda mental changes should emanate from the Government, and in this case the royal commissioner withdrew from the Chamber, after making his protest against the motions as illegal." By a recent decision of the Russian Government all the peasants of Livonia who embrace the orthodox creed are exonerated from the tithes which they paid to their clergy, and as a further inducement to pro fess the religion of the State they are to be exempted from taxes generally. The nobles of Livonia have petitioned the EMPEROR to annul this decree, and, waiting his decision, have engaged to pay to the clergy the tithes which are refused by the peasantry. The Voss Gazette, of the 26th ult., states, from Warsaw, that an extraordinary levy of recruits has taken place there, under circumstances of great rigour. It is asserted that the young men were torn from their families during the night, and marched to distant parts, from which they are never expected to return. The Aix la Chapelle Gazette, of the 28th ult., has the following from Berlin, dated the 26th :—" It is reported that a document has been discovered which proves that the Royal House of Prussia has claims to the succession of Schleswig and Holstein. It is generally believed here that Prussia will insist on the maintenance of the independence of the Duchies." The Universal Prussian Gazette, of the '26th ult., in an article on the arguments that have appeared in some of the foreign journals against the incorporation of Cracow, says it can contradict, from the best authority, the assertion that the Prussian Government was actuated by a desire for an augmentation or exchange of territory in connexion with the abolition of the independence of Cracow. No pretension of this kind, says the Gazette, was ever set up by Prussia on the negotiations on the subject of Cracow. Madrid journals to the 25th ult. have arrived. The principles of free trade are making rapid pro gress throughout Spain. According to the Espanol, a free-trade association was formed at Cadiz during the stay of Mr. COBDEN in that city ; and the follow ing, from the Heraldo, which may be looked upon as the financial programme of the Spanish Government, is sufficient to inspire every free-trader with a hope that the day is not far distant when the statute book of Spain will, like the statute book of England, pay homage to the principles of common sense. " Our most ardent wishes," says the Heraldo, " will be accomplished, if, as we have reason to ex pect, the approaching Cortes shall be called to ac complish a liberal reform of our tariffs, so as to open foreign markets for the wines and oils of our fertile Andalusia, for the wheat of Castile, and for the wool of La Mancha. If the first measure proposed by the Government to the Cortes shall tend to a diminution of the taxes which press upon landed property, and if a more equal distribution of those taxes be made, and if an impulse be given to the works already commenced on our greattlines of com munication ; and if, in fine, the Government shows itself anxious to ameliorate the condition of all our countrymen, we shall be satisfied." Mr. COBDEN was at Malaga on the 19th of November. MADRID BOLSA, Nov. 25.—The Three per Cents. closed at 34 5-16; the Four per Cents., at 201 ; 'the Five per Cents., at 21k; and the Debt without Inte rest, at 64. We have received the Paris papers of Tuesday. The Journal des Debats has a long article excul patory of Austria in she affair of Cracow. The writer, while combating the arguments of the Austrian manifesto, is evidently anxious to make the worst of his own case, and to excuse those whom he pretends to attack.' "We are persuaded," says the Journal des Debats, " that from 1772, to our days, it has been against her will and against her interest that Austria participated in the spoliation of Poland. We are persuaded that she has ever seen and comprehended what was her true policy, that which was at the same time honourable and safe, but she has never pursued it; she has ever suffered herself to be led astray, seeing what was right and committing evil, being ambitious against her will, and declaring it, but still not succeeding in persuading the public of a disinte restedness which never appears, except by conditional usurpations. It is to this false position—it is to this constraint which the conscience of Austria suffers, that we attribute the singular language of the two proclama tions published at Cracow when taking possession of the territory of that ancient republic. " There is something worse than to oppress weakness, it is to calumniate it; this, however, is what the two official documents which have been published on the Cracow question do from one end to the other; and it must be allowed that in imposing on Austria the care of explaining the violation of the treaty of Vienna, and the unjust and violent destruction of the independence of Cracow, Prussia and Russia have not left it the most excellent part in the affair. The mechant komme of 1772, who duped so completely Maria Theresa in according her all that she asked for, did nothing more maliciously piquant than what Prussia, in concert with Russia, has done to Austria. Is it not, in fact, an unfortunate equivo cation to say that Cracow has infringed the neutrality which was the condition of her independence? Th e neu trality of Cracow, formally established by Art. 6 o f th e to oreeaah otter. tycofVieaThis meant, accordi ng to t h e treaty of, was a guarantee whi c h th e P owers gave Vienna, that Cracow was never to be either Russian, or Prussian, or Austrian, and it is on that account that in Art. 6 of the treaty the independence of Cracow was joined to her neutrality. But now it is in the very name of this neutrality that the Powers destroy the indepen dence of Cracow. Strange abuseof reasoning ! And in what has Cracow infringed this neutrality ? Has she become Russian or Prussian with her own full consent. ? No but she was invaded by the insurgent Poles, who fixed there the seat of their ephemeral government I Here, in truth, we do not know whom the Austrian Go vernment hopes to blind. The facts are recent ; they passed in the open daylight. Whom, then, is it hoped to deceive ? No, it was not the government of Cracow which prepared the last Polish insurrection ; no, it was not in Cracow that the conspiracy took place ; it was in the Grand Duchy of Posen and in Galicia ; it was from thence that the movement extended to Cracow, and it was then that Cracow became the seat of the insurgent Government. Prussia, better informed than Austria. prevented the movement that was about to burst out in the Grand Duchy of Posen. Austria, whatever may be the reputation of her police, neither knew nor prevented the movement in Galicia, for God forbid that we should suppose that the Austrian police was aware of the insurrection in Galicia, and did not prevent it, in order to repress and punish it by the hand of the pea sants. But if Austria was aware of nothing, and pre vented nothing in Galicia, it was her want of foresight which delivered up Cracow to the insurgents. Could Cracow resist the insurrection of Galicia ? Nay, more; Cracow, or at least the Government of Cracow, did all it could to escape from the insurrection. It appealed to the Austrians, and the Austrians entered Cracow before the insurrection ; a proclamation of the Senate declared that it was on its demand that General Collin had taken possession of the city. The Senate of Cracow, therefore, had acted quite correctly, since on the news of the plots in Posen it had called on the Austrians to occupy Cra cow. Whence came it that General Collin, master of the place, quitted it all at once ? He quitted it on learning the insurrection in Galicia. When once abandoned by the Austrians, Cracow fell into the power of the insurgents, for the Senate could not defend it. Such are the facts as they were read in the month of ]garch last by all Europe ; and eight months have scarcely passed away when it is wanted to disfigure them and to transform Cracow into a hotbed of conspiracies and insurgents. Ridiculous fictions, contradicted by the public memory and by conviction !" The French protest against the annexation of Cracow has not yet been dispatched, nay, it is said the terms of it have not yet been considered in the Ca binet. In the political salons of Paris it is openly stated that LOUIS PHILIPPE and M. Guizor were both perfectly cognizant of the intention to annex Cracow, that, in fact, Cracow was a part of the price agreed by Louis PHILIPPE to be paid to Austria to purchase her support to the MONTPENSIER marriage, but that it %'its only pa; of the price. To the private and pecuniary interests of his family, Louis PHILIPPE has sacrificed, not only the nationality of Poland, but the regeneration of Italy ; and the repression of the spirit of liberal reform manifested by the PorE, together with the restoration of Austrian rule and influence throughout the Italian Peninsula, is another portion of the price which the French JEuto has consented to pay to secure the throne of Spain to the children of his youngest son. From the following article in the Revue des Deux Mondes, the organ of M. GUIZOT, it appears that the protest of France is to be couched in very "holiday and lady terms," to quote the words of the writer. " She cannot think of throwing out threatening words and words of defiance." " That which is most essential," says the Revue des Deur Mondes, "is that France in its protest shall notify the violation of treaties, and that she point out all the consequence which the resolution of the Northern Powers opens to her profit. She must declare that she reserves to herself for the future to consult only, as re gards those treaties, her own convenience and the neces sities of her policy. France will preserve an attitude of observation. She cannot think of throwing out threat ening words and words of defiance. Who would wish seriously to see in the resolution of the Three Powers a casus belli? It is only the exaltation of parties which can answer by a cry of propagandism to the Cracow coup d'etat. The only reply which becomes a great country is in the firmness with which it will practice the policy of independence and isolation which circumstances create for it. To be at peace with the whole world, without entertaining enmity to any one—such ought to be our attitude; and we shall have by that means at least liberty of action." The Infant Don ENRIQUE left Paris for Madrid on Monday, having, according to the National, addressed to Queen CHRISTINA, under the form of retractation, a humble supplication, written under the dictation of the Tuileries, in which he requested to be allowed to return to the favour of Queen ISABELLA and the mother of his august sister-in-law. This is bad enough ; but this is not the worst. If the Esprit Public is rightly informed, Don ENRIQUE transcends even his brother Bourbon, the Prince DE CARIGNAC of 1820, in baseness. The Esprit Public says— " Well-informed persons assure us that his departure was preceded by an act so ignominious, that in spite of the certainty of our information, we can scarcely credit it. This prince, as is known, held an active and confi dential correspondence with the leading members of the Progressista party in Spain. It is said that he has de livered up this correspondence, and has betrayed the secrets of all those who had put themselves under the shelter of his discretion and his honour." A magnificent fete is to be given to the Bey of TUNIS on Friday evening by M. GUIZOT. In rela tion to this fete the Constittitionne/ says— " M. Guizot has hardly had time to send out all his invitations for the concert he is about to give on Friday next, in honour of the Bey of Tunis, before it is an nounced that several members of the diplomatic body, and among them the Austrian and English Ambassa dors, will not be present, because neither Austria, Eng land, nor the other Powers acknowledge the Bey as a Sovereign Prince, in which light he has been received in Paris." The Moniteur states, that " the situation of the department of the north, with respect to provisions, is by no means so unfavourable as it was represented to be two months since. It was apprehended at that time that the wheat crop would have been one-fifth less than in ordinary years; but it is at present as certained that the diminution is insignificant, and fully compensated by the superipr weight of the grain. This explains the succmkve , fall which has taken place in the price of whearthroughout the de partment during the last fifteen days. The crop of barley and oats is below the usual average. Potatoes are less in quantity than last year, but that compara tive deficiency is fully compensated by the superior quality of the crop of the present year." The same official paper publishes the returns fur nished by the Minister of Commerce of the average price of wheat in the different markets throughout France during the month of November last, by which it appears that the price of wheat was 22f. 70c. in the markets of St. Lo, Paimpol, Quim per, Hennebon, and Nantes, being the lowest average in France, and 34E 17c. the hectolitre in the markets of Mulhamen and Strasburg, being the highest. The Moniteur subsequently sti. tes that there were imported 1,373,300 hectolitres of wheat into the port of Marseilles between the 26th of October and the 24th of November last. The drain for bullion on the Bank of France still continues. It was stated on Monday that there was only 3,200,0001. left in their coffers. The withdrawal of the deposits from the Savings'-bank of Paris, also continues. The amount of withdrawals during the last week exceeded the amount of deposits by 17,000/. The Phare des Pyrenees publishes a letter from the frontiers of Catalonia, dated Nov. 26, which says— . The battle which took place on the 21st between the Royal troops and a Carlist band in the ne ighbourhood of Bauolas, was rather serious. Two companies of the regiment of Valencia found themselves engaged with 300 Carlists." " This account," adds the Phare des Pyrentles, " which does not possess all the character of authenticity which is desirable, is not, however, without foundation." According to a letter from Manreza, published in the Emancipation, of Toulouse, a band of 200 Carlists, under the command of a son of the celebrated PEXTOT, was at Navarelles on the 10th ult., com pletely armed, and with plenty of money.

FLANDERS MAIL. BRUSSELS, DEC. I.—The Chamber of Representa tives adopted yesterday the Budget of the Department of Foreign Affairs, many amendments were proposed in the discussion of the articles, most of which were re jected. Baron de Buissiere, Ambassador from the King of the French to the King of Holland arrived yesterday at Brussels from Paris. His Excellency succeeds Baron Bois le Comte, the late ambassador. All the insurgents of Galicia who have been put on their trial by the Austrian authorities, have been con demned to be hanged, but it was said at Cracow, that the Government at Vienna would grant them a commuta tion of their punishment on the occasion of the incorpo ration of that city with the Austrian empire. They will probably be imprisoned for life in the fortress of Spell burg, and some will have their punishment commuted for banishment The Belgium Association, in favour of free-trade, will hold its third public sitting on Thursday next, the sth of December, at seven o'clock in the evening. SILICrAN FRONTIER, NOV. 22.—Th e revol u ti onar y movement i n Galicia was lately very far frbm being ap peased, as the r es id en t no bl es were encourag i ng it more and more openly and undisguisedly. A meeting of the nobles was to have taken place at Cracow in the middle of this month, but as a large m ilit ar y f orce was s t a ti o ned there, it was deem e d a d v i sa bl e , a f ter ma t ure delibera tion, that this town should not be the theatre of action, and it was determined that Wieliezka should be, the place of rendezvous. A large number of nobles ac tually assembled there, and private meetings were held without the least appearance of apprehension. The ar rogance and turbulence of the old Polish character was very openly manifested, and plainly indicated that the central revolutionary board at Paris has excited new hopes and represented them as near to their realisation. In the midst of all this wirvitamant. thA navirsa anridonly arrived of the dissolution of the republic of Cracow. They were not prepared for such a blow; it was deemed The in utterly impossible that the three powers could have the sanction of England and France for such a step, and it was considered yet more i m p oss ibl e that they could ven ture upon such a meas ure w ithout such sanction. It was impossible there cou ld be a more complete and instantaneous change than was effected by this unex tpuercbteadianneeewasad upaornrogthaeneaes, which sel hadiesat NV. evidentlyeli e z k been a a great measure assumed, were suddenly converted into them measures b y adopted the force e by e o f the er three ea al the greatest consternation, and they dispersed quietly, perfectly confounded and overwhelmed.

Among other subjects described by Madame d'Arblay, in her admirable manner, are her interview with Louis XVIII. -in London —The Return of Bonaparte from Elba--The Departure of the Bourbons from France, with many curious particulars of the state of that kingdom during the memorable Hundred Days of the Battle of Waterloo, and of the occupation of the French Capital by the Allies, by personal observation Madame d'Arblay having been a resident at Paris and Brussels during the whole of that eventful period. The last accounts from the department Da Nord speak of an almost general fall in the price of corn.— Paria,pa,per. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. (From The Sun of last Night.) In the Cotton Market there had yesterday been no less than 25,000 bales sold, including 8,000 Surat and 8,000 American on specutation. Prices had further risen about id. per lb., making id. advance since Friday last. The market was in a very excited state, without any apparent cause. Shares had been rather thrown in the shade by the Cotton movement. It will be observed from the above, that there is a very decided movement in the Cotton market, which all parties now are watching with coesiderable interest. This branch of our trade absorbs a largo amount of capital, and the diminished importation at advanced prices will partly conduce to the effect which a larger supply might have. It appears, looking, to the Bank paper cir culation which should be carefully noted just now, that the Bankers' Magazine give the total for the United Kingdom at 40,954,591/. in the month ending the 7th ultimo, or an increase of 1,799,068/. compared with the month to Oct. 10. The comparison of the month end ing Nov. 8, 1845, with the mouth ending Nov. 7, 1846, shows a decrease in the Bank of England circulation of 783,2101., an increase in private banks of 65,109/., and a decrease in joint stock banks of 30,0471. ; being a total decrease in England of 748,148/. ; while in Scotland there is an increase of 171,2761. ; and in Ireland an increase also of 12,2852 Thus showing that the month ending 7th Nov., as compared with the same period last year, presents st decrease of 748,1481. in England, and a decrease of 564,5871. in the United The stock of specie held by the banks in Scotland and Ireland during the month ending Nov. 7, was 3,713,658/., being an increase of 360,4481. as compared with the preceding month. In the monthly report upon commercial matters, by Messrs. Wilkinson and Jewesbury, the interesting fact is noticed, that the exportation of cotton and woollen goods shows a decrease of 2,206,6381. in the nine months of this year, compared with the same period of 1845 ; whilst hardware, cutlery, machinery, metals, and coals show an increase. This, in some measure, will illustrate the balance of our foreign trade. The English Stock-market opened well this morning, but has since gone back a little, the advance having in duced a few sales. Consols have been 951 to 951 for money, but a bargain has just been concluded at the re dubed figure of 95k. For time there have been no transactions at a higher quotation than 95,1 k.
