Th© latter cause would also prevent any great supply being ob tained, for many years at least, from Australia. Some stimulus may be applied to the cultivation—the pro duce may be quadrupled, or even more, but still we cannot look for a sufficient quantity from these colonies to compensate for any deficiency in the American supply. But it is otherwise in our Anglo-Indian territories. Everything essential to the cultivation is there—the climate and soil are admirably adapted for the crop, and labour can be had to any extent that might be required at a very moderate rate of remuneration. But certain fiscal regulations have interfered with the production, and led to the very marked decline that has taken place of late years in this most im portant branch of our Indian commerce. From the heavy charges to which the ryots were ' exposed, the enormous expenses of the land carriage in bringing it to market, the loss of time in the transit of the cotton, and the de terioration it undergoes in quality from exposure to the weather, the dust of the roads, sweating of the animals, and other drawbacks incidental to the sys tem of conveyance, the fair profit of the producer and of the merchant was so far reduced as to withhold the ordinary inducement for its cultivation. These causes may, however, be removed, and the object of Mr. BRIGIIT'S motion was to obtain such an inquiry as would lead to an improvement in the system. For that purpose he proposed that "an address should be presented to her MAJESTY, pray ing her MAJESTY to appoint a commission to proceed to India to inquire into the ob stacles which prevent an increased growth of cotton in that country, and to report upon any cir cumstances which may injuriously affect the econo mical and industrial condition of the:native population, being cultivators of the soil within the presidencies of Bombay and Madras." This was, unfortunately, not granted, but the very discussion must be highly belles ficial, and will necessarily lead at no distant period to the ameliorations which the Honourable Gentleman so earnestly desires, and which are so essential to the welfare and prosperity of the United Kingdom. The prospects of fiscal reform continue to brighten. The oppressive, unequal, and—notwithstanding the decision of the Court of Exchequer, to which we alluded last week, we venture to add—illegal assess ment of the land-tax, which has recently been brought to light, has excited a feeling throughout the country which cannot subside until full justice be rendered to the parties so deeply aggrieved under the exist ing. system. Inquiries have been instituted into the origin of the impost, the nature of the property on which it was levied, and the purposes for which it was to provide. We have thus discovered the mode in which indirect has been substituted for direct taxation, by which the owners of accumulated and realied property have contrived to shift the burden from their own shoulders and to cast it on those whose only inhe ritance is their labour, and who earn their daily bread by the sweat of their brows. We are thus en tering on the right path. The true questions are being raised for the consideration of the people. The good seed is sown, and will bring forth its fruits in due season. When the next general election is about to take place a greater importance will be attached to the opinions of candidates on this deeply interest ing subject than was the case on any former occasion. Oa the hustings the matter will no longer be passed over sub silentio ; nor will the people be satisfied with vague and empty declamation, or unmeaning assu rances that the claimants for their suffrages are dis posed to bestow full and attentive consideration on the disputed points. Men who aspire to represent important constituencies, and to make laws for. the governance of their fellow-citizens, should not remain undecided on a question of primary importance, affect ing the prosperity and happiness of the great body of the people more deeply than any other that could be promulgated. They must be prepared to express their views clearly and distinctly, without qualification or evasion, to state whether it is their purpose that " the many" should still be plundered fur the benefit of the privileged few, or whether they are prepared to advocate honestly and sincerely those fiscal changes which are alike demanded by justice and expediency. Four years since, on the dissolution of the last Parliament, we earnestly called upon the various constituencies to demand an exposition of their opinions on this topic from the several candidates, to make it, in fact, the touchstone for tenting the poli tical faith of the aspirants to Parliamentary distinc tion. Unfortunately, however, they remained in different and apathetic. Their recent triumph over protection and monopoly—the abolition of the iniquitous bread-tar, had cheered the hearts of the industrious classes. Free trade, or rather what was termed " free trade," had been obtained. The gre at principle had been affirmed that taxatio n should thenceforward be imposed for purposes of revenue only, and not of protection. The efforts of the people were directed to consolidate their acqui sitions and to strengthen their position, rather than to achieve new victories—to defeat any convulsive efforts of the reactionaries, than to make further pro gress. Our warnings were therefore unheeded, and no step was taken to reform the " National Exchequer," and to enforce a more equitable distribution of the public charges, so that every man should contribute his proportion of the State expenditure, secundum statum et facultatcs—according to his position in so ciety, and the stake he possessed in the country. Since that period, however, a commercial crisis of no ordinary magnitude has occurred. Mercantile houses of undoubted solvency and unblemished reputation were reduced to the verge of bankruptcy and ruin. Many, too many, yielded to the pressure, while those who were enabled "to weather the storm" will long have cause to remember the enormous sacrifices to which they were compelled to submit in order to maintain their position. The working classes sustained their full share of the general suffering. Production, if not altogether suspended, was exceedingly limited ; employment was difficult to be obtained even at re duced wages. The causes of these untoward results were closely investigated, and were ascertained to be chiefly owing to our iniquitous " monetary" and " fiscal" codes—the first depriving the people of a measure and representative of value adequate to the wants and exigencies of the country, keeping back the " very life blood of industry," the latter operating to the prejudice of our commerce and manufactures, and thus restricting employment and reducing its remuneration, so that a " fair day's wages could not be obtained for a fair day's work ;" and also casting upon the scanty earnings of indus try a more than due proportion of the public expen diture—the over-toiled operative who gained by un ceasing labour a pound per week, having to pay about 40 per cent. of his income in taxation, while the wealthy fundholder need not, if he does not please to do so, pay more than 21. 18s. 4d. per cent., and, even under the most favourable circumstances, give more than 10 or 12 per cent. on his easily acquired income. The admirable publications of the Liver pool Financial Reform Associations, and the ex ertions of the different bodies that sprung up throughout the country in alliance with that patriotic society, have further stimulated the people, and a spirit has sprung up which wil l lead to the most important results. The light at last is beginnin g t o proper r r in the horizon.settlement tofvexatce materials for th e these Am questiones are accumulating, and the fiscal code must s p eedil y be ple adapted to the advanced spirit of the age and the real wants of the community.

Neville, Esq., and Captain R. Carnac. E.N , arrived on Sat ur d a y, by the General Steam Navigation Com pany'a ateion-ship Sir Edward Banks, from London. Ufikinit - int LONDON, THURSDAY, JUNE 23, 1850. It was Trite unnecessary for the Honourable Member for Manchester to offer any apology for bringing under the notice of the house the impor• taut subject which he on Tuesday night introduced , with so much ability. It related to a question in which every British citizen is deeply interested, and on which the welfare and prosperity of the influential' constituency which the Honourable Gentleman re presents in Parliament mainly depends. It is impos sible to estimate the extent of the mischiefs that would result from an inadequate supply of the raw material of our cotton manufactures. Thousands and tens of thousands of men, women, and children would be de prived of employment, and would suffer the utmost privations and misery until they took refuge in the various workhouses. An enormous amount of capital would remain idle and unproductive, and a commercial crisis would ensue, exceeding in magnitude that under which the country suffered so severely in 1847 ; many firms of high respectability and undoubted solvency would be re duced to a state of bankruptcy ; the national re venue would fail, and ruin and almost unparalleled distress would prevail oa every side. We should no longer have the purchasing power to pay for the pro ductions of other nations, and we should be con tented to do without many things which, from long usage, have become articles of almost primary neces sity. No less than two millions of our population are engaged directly in the manufacture of cotton fabrics ; and, in addition to the vast quantity of these articles consumed in the home market, the declared value of the cotton goods exported during the past year amounted to no less than 26,000,0001. sterling, or four per cent. on the entire exports of the country. But, notwithstanding these undoubted facts, we have hitherto evinced a culpable negligence and apathy with respect to the supply of this most im portant article. We are satisfied to place our chief, if not our entire, dependence on the Southern States of America, where the crop is altogether the result of slave labour. If any unfortunate misunderstanding should interrupt our amicable relations with that country, or if, what we so anxiously desire, slavery should be abolished throughout the entire western hemisphere—if, in fact, any of the numerous con tingencies to which the article is peculiarly liable in its cultivation should take place, we should too late deplore the fatal consequences of our own blindness and fatuity. Should these contingencies not reach to the total ab sence of the raw material, but merely an increase in the cost puke thereof, to the extent of 2d. or 3d. per pound, the consequences, although not altogether in surmountable, would still be very serious, and such as noman to nf encounter. If and foresight would be willin g If no adequate remedy could be provided for this possible evil we should be contented to stand the " hazard of the die" ---to meet the danger we could not possibly avert. But it is well known that among the colonies and dependencies of the British empire there are districts admirably adapted for the growth of cotton, and that if due encouragement were afforded to the cultivators, and that the obstacles which at present impede its production were removed by wise and judicious regulations, we should be rendered in dependent of the American States, and from any undue or unreasonabl e increase of p ric e.

Indeed, a con siderable as quantity of cotton, about 60, 000 bales, was annually imported from thence in former years, a quantity which has, however, latterly fallen off ma terially, so that we now receive an average of 8,000 bales per annum only, or about cne•eighth of the former amount. This deficiency his been occasioned partly because sugar and coffee were found or be lieved to be more profitable, but chiefly from the de- THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 20, 1850. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. if any additional evidence were needed to prove that the vote of the House of Lords on Monday was dictated by foreign Powers, to serve foreign as con tradistinguished from English objects, and to farce on a reluctant SOVEREIGN and areluctant country a new Ministry, nomiLated by the Absolutist Powers of Europe, and bound to betray English to Absolutist interests on all occasions, it would be found in the official announcement of that division by the French ro-actionary Ministry in their official journals. The Patrie has the following : " THE BRIIISII MINISTRY IN A MINORITY. " The Government has received the following tele graphic dispatch, dated London, this day, 18th June, four o'clock in the morning : — " THE CHARGE D'AFFAIRES OF FRANCE TO THE MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS. " The motion of Lord Stanley, relative to the affairs of Greece, has just been adopted, after a sitting of eleven hours' duration, by a majority of 37. " The mutt surpassed the expectations of the men the most disposed to believe that the Ministry would find itself in a minority.'" The last phrase clearly establishes a solidarito between the Tory peers and the foreign Cabinets. It would likewise go far to show that some of the foreign diplomatic body in all,: country have established in timate relations with the Opposition in Parliament. It will be remembered that the same Tory party wasted a vast deal of virtuous indignation ' some two years since, on Sir lIENIT B ULWER and ,the Pro gresistaa of Spain, when it was supposed that som such relations as those now subsisting between the Tory Opposition and the Embassies of France and established b e t ween th e English ilniih O the Deba's and Ordrc, exult ppositi at adrid. on M R M u irin s i s i ls i e a t e or had a. a l ne d da etsh journals,beene s , in this vote " as the commencement of j ustice and re paration for France," that i s t o say , as t h e inaugura tion of a system of policy whi c h s h a ll bi n d E ng l a nd to aid the Absolutist Sovereigns of the Continent in a crusade for the restoration of monarchy in France, as the recommencement of the coalition of 1793, of which T he Engla nd Const vir.ioiililn Y all cost, while the Bourbon family reap all the adva n t age. , the organ of the Elpi..., is much more rational tha n t h e B our b on i s t j ourna l s . ut P e a / It observes merely that Lord PALM casToN must get a vote of approbation from the House of Commons, or retire. The French Ministers take to themselves the entire credit of the success of Lord STANLEY'S motion. The Palrie has the following on the subject of the Dotation Bill : " The report of M. Flendin will probably be read to the committc , 3 tomorrow (this day). If any tirclitica dons in it should be considered necessary, the report, instead of being deposited on Thursday, mill only ic deposited on Friday, a n d, i n that case, the discussion will commence on i t, l.uctia.r.

The same journal sayr— " The five members forming the minority of the com mittee have resolved to cause to be inserted in the report a statement of the opinions they expres:icd in the course of the deliberations. Ono of thLui, M. Lefebvre DurtAS, will state in the tribune the wiivei which have induced them to support to the cud the Government Bill, and will support the amendment against the resolution of the majority or nine." M. EmtnE DE GInARDIN has announced that, in consequence of hi s election as representative for the Bas foil), he ha s res i gne d the directorship of La Presse.

DE DAL MATIE, both members of the Committee, intend to propose that the whole sum demanded shall be voted, either for the payment of the expenses of instalhtion, or for the two years 1849 and 1850: and it adds that it is very probable that one or other of these propo• sitions will be voted by the Assembly by way of compromise.

The melancholy details of the loss of the steam-ship Orion, have excited not alone, grief, but extreme sur prise; the allegation that a dangerous and hidden rock existed in a place so constantly passed by vessels as Fortpatrick it, and that the locality was, nevertheless, down in the charts as "deep wabr," appearing to justify the coneltvion that gross carelessness exists in some quarter, arid that it is impossiWe w say how soon we may hear of like di,asters elsewhere; nor can it be otherwise than a matter for surprise that the gentleman who states his knonbdge of this rock, acquired during his service as a nsval-packet commander, should not have communi cated it at once to the Admiralty.

My Lord,—l this morning communicated to General. do Lahitte your Lordship's dispatch of yesterday's date, and read to him the inclosure from Mr. Wyse..l pointe d out to him the importance of the Tacts here detailed up on those results cf which the F ren ch Government had con' plained, and which we had our se lves regretted. Mr. Wyse objects that Baron Gros concealed from him the intelligence which he had received by the Vauban, in' forming him that a convention resprctiug the Greek question had been agreed to in Paris and Loudon• in order to bring this . matter, in which there had been so much confusion on all aides, distinctly to * point, I directed the General's attention specially to the fact that the complaint of Mr. Wyse again st Baron Gros was founded on the statement he had himself made in his letter to M. Droayn de Lbuys 0 the 14th of May, afterwards road to the Assembly, to the effect that this had been done at a 'women; when * convention negotiated directly . aed definitively agree d upon in London was on the point of arriving at Athens+ where already the emends' bases of it were known.. I said that Mr. Wyse had read this with extreme surPr i n as certainly, if all this had been known at Athens, it bad never, up to the arrival of the &lota been. in any reepect communicated to him; and inasmuch ns it was ID his (Mr. Wyse's) estimation a serious impute Con that, it; • the possession of such knowledge, lie deed refused, as had been supposed, to await the short necessary time for its confirmation, on the other hand it *must be considered grave charge against M. Gres that he bad conce aled such a fact from the person with woui he we e in official relation, and with whom he elea essurael to be in confidential communication; and if this ;ras r eally so' upon him and him alone should fall all the reepenai hi " lity of the consequences which had followed. The general said that it was impcesible to read Baron Gros's report of what had occurred, without seeing that he could not have been actuated by any such feeling* What could be his motive? It was as much his desir e as it was his duty to bring these matters to a :ermine' Lion by the gciod (Bees of France. CoUld anybody ear pose there was concealment behind tine letter which he wrote upon the receipt of the Vauban? Did he n? s ask Mr. Wyse to come and read his dispatches? O k a ° had been declined, and the mischief had arisen from W e never having been met in the same spirit by Mr. VV . 32 e * I observou that the offer to come and look at his dis patches was of value according as, in alluding to th e ", contents, he had accurately stated what they were; b u t how could any one suppose, in r e adin g thi s letter, tn e ho had any knowledge cf a proposed convention neg °- dated in London, when such a meet important fact we s never aquded to from one end of the letter to the other. I began to think that the beat mode o f elearingoPt" matter with General do Lahitte et as to go over with lut e all the dispatches which had been carried out byt e ~° Vauban, which could bear upon this partief th e sub)e.c" This the General readily agreed to do, and befog finished their perusal, I told the General candidly, that I could see nothing in them to justife the express i t used in his dispatch to M. Drouyn de Lhur, that tu" essential bases of a convention negotiated in London were at that time known at Athens. I entreated hi e serious attention to the bearing this point must have upon all future discussions. It was evident flow, th at the blame imputed to Mr. Wyee for' haviug acted in t.'" h a a face of such knowledge could not be sustained; either that knowledge had been concealed from him a t Athens , or it had not been in the power of Baron Gros to caw municate it; and if so, I was sure he would, with th e candour which I had always experienced on his part , 13° ready ti admit that ho had put some very incautio tis expressions into a very grave document. The General said that it was easy to explain what be had meant, that the alterations in the original project ° Mr. Wyse reed M. Gros had formed the bases of the ecni vention of London, and this bad been in the progre 3 s, e negotiation. I begged the General to remark that , if L ° would read carefully this letter of Baron Geo , •";" would find that ha bad not succeeded in conveying any such ideate the mind of Baron Gros, or if (as it now 0 1 3- peered , certain) there had been no wilful co u cealinent the Baron's part, had he derived the same impression„ on from the dispatches by the Vauban, which had been con . veyed to M. Daman de ',buys in the dispatch of the aith a d May, which I now remembered with increased regret h been read from the tribune of the Assembly, an unus oLd proceeding, which deneacded peculiar care in the an" curacy of the expressions used. In that dispatch it °.es i stated that the convention, "of which the essential bases were already known," was then cn the point arriving at Athens. But what says Baron Gum on tbl ; head? Whet does he propose to Mr. Wyse? Thai a 4, - should submit M. Gros's prop o siti t i ons t o the Bill" t Cabinet, and await his instructions, an d he adds, th e be will send off the Vauban with one and the other project. How is this reconcileable with the assertion that the convention of Loudon was known to be on th e _ point of arriving ? If Baron Gros was sincere, the General then must admit that that assertion was in s accurate. I was sure I might trust to the • Genera l known good faith to allow that ho had been in er r " fit here. The General said that he would exa; c arefoil ?i into the question; that eves if :he bud n e expreo e l himself very correctly in this respect, -tin hoPl eill Which the French Government had agate' of .mine .1,3 co) Aganist.that gland remained still in full i'orca, and was pointed out iJ this very letter of M. Gros, where ho as I b a h , quoted, to the ref; recce home, and the.Suspeniion in interval of coercive measures; that to ur tunes at dil' er :; cut intervals your Lordohip had promised .M. not to do Lhnys that such instr uc tio ns sholaid he sent 00 " Mr. 'Wyse; that from the Ist of March they had b oen acting on the faith that those pro m i ses h a d b ee n cf."; cuted, and it was to the oinimion in that respect tu * these results were to be attributed. I told the General I thought what bad P 358 ,i, upon the principal sui , j...et cf our conversation t h ' morning would show him that it was better on pei t ' b e e side to impute supposed omissions or mistakes fr conduct of complicated affairs of this nature to good faith ; that if the question was still *prose, ' in a different spirit, as I had always wished to trot t e , hoped in consideration of the great interests at 5t this matter might be brought to a satisfactory ect c sion.—l have, &c., NoIotANDY, (Siburd) I.\`(). 2. - THE MARQUIS OF NORMANDY TO VISCOUNT PAL 142.7 Paris, June 14,1 0 '' o e My Lord,—l have again seen General do 'AIWA , wished to have sonic conversation with me after liott r , had au opportunity of considerirg the contents of b y Wyse's dispateli of the 31st of Ma) - . He bcg° to stating that the phrase qucted by Mr. Wyse, lon g which I had so specially called his a tt en tion yeste'7o; was not the part of that dispatch of the 14th of MO* o r which the French Government had founded theirc°,, plaint of the conduct in this affair of her Majesty o 00 , vernnaent. It was to be found in the earlier 13 01 , 13 , 0 of that dispatch, and consisted in the feet th tl i to insttuctions to carry out the promises given, tle t of prevent the renewal of coercive measures' in the 00, 4 ,0 a difference of opinion between the negotiator s : ever been sent to Athens in time to avert the oli r fi e et which had occurred. As to the next Paragraph, I is7 o f observe that it stated what had been the conseque°de such an omissicn. With respect to the statereen t i r ne eJt by him, and by which Mr. Wye.° had supposed 0 0 aggrieved, that the essential bases.of the pro Po sed ea WI vontion of London were then known at Athens, e; t oots meant that all the essential chaeges which lia‘ie made in the projects sent home, ou which ehovg e ll , founded the subsequent convention ; were detailed I 0 biee Drouyn l'Huys' dispatch of-the 9 of APO , Igie had been sent out by the Vauban, and ,therefere, eh; Wyeo W 11,3 left in any error a s to wh a t was rallYrd out by the Vauban, it was hi t ; o w n .fahlt;"aarhe ( t r ee to fused the candid and friendly offer, made- by t hat show him all his kdispatches. Had he acoefi l ' ea taw offer, he would have been in full possession of 0 0 — A il: state of the case. I told the• General that I wzis t bet obliged to repeat what I had said y e sterdokottd thought the phrase he had himself used was ot 0 0 1 to lead Mr. Wyse into ,the error into -Whi n e " . to the fallen ; that the gener a l i m p ress io n d e rived ,' l9 d been , phrase must have been, and indeed I knew b o le( that the bases of the convention of Londolliotest then and there known, and • its pro xilnat e i t •• h due _ being at the same time spoken of, it was L oos cognizance of these facts that the. coercive lo n *" 0 1. the were resumed. Now, this was direetly,the relOrgres did truth; not only Mr. Wyse did not, but bf_ell' ar into; not, know of the proximate arrival of any firth j bad ligeuce of a convention agreed to in Loudon , „" o po.,§a` shown yesterday; because, on the con trary e bn,'r itr atoxa to send their projects to London., Yet I .htid f e ottit s Wyse attacked in many quarters for not / 101 1 0 010 6 the two or three days necessary for receiving, 40 . t be , s convention, the essential provisions of Which 610 46 known. This accusation was founded oo the to to - b ear words. I was convinced he did not mean t h . e te elr ° o any such signification, but this was an 00 eet of the disadvantage of giving premature' i e Or documente of that grave charaCter, when ; b all „, sions might not have been very well welelea' o ppos iti o n The General said I was certainly.riett,:f il di eean t „ teo he had no such intention. He could not nf i li s tes 1 ° 1 " 0 . say anything so obviously inconsistent with. tte , Ville to everybody. He was perfectly ready,to I : 0 ever bo had occasion, that he had never . vv Y „ aggravation of their complaint, to impute o, .;;; hti vlo ti b . that he had refused to wait two or three n ti t ne cn o at the time any knowledge of the existeeo° ofterect vention of Loneert.
