Y,ltir committee, theretore, propel,' to you unanimously to

immediately after the clam of the general debate, the fol-
lowing resolution :—" The National Assembly einvinced
that in the questions which divide at this moment Germeny,
the policy of neutrality, such as beano mod ana &detain the

to Prom* al is Weiland to smite the apprehension 01
approximate reiptime. la • few days it is possible that, for
the lint time dories thirty five years, war may have broken
out between two powers of the firm order. According to
this statement, rho eseembly sees that, with the inception of
the qu-stion of fleetleawirliols' sin, which is not fundament-
ally engaged la the debate, the questions which divide
Germany ire essentially German; and so long as they
remain sock, the German powers aline are capable of
resolving them. Upon the sole ground of nisei for
nationalities it is, therefore, • duty for France, and
for every other power foreign to the Germanic body, to
abstain from all muireention in the affairs which divide

them, unless unforeseen events, unless the onsorquances of
W struggle, should come to change the tea of things, aad
gravely compromise the interests of the neutral rowers and
I too esseatial buse of the balance of Europe. This is not all.

The Assembly will have !tweeted nisi behind these ques-
tions of federal organisation • question of preponderance is
openly agitating between the two great powers of Germany.
If peace le to be troubled, if the worlds to be eondemaed to
the spinouts, to the dangers, of a sanaminery straggle, the
responsibility will fall wholly on the governments which
have introdused into the debate sentiments such, that gate
tions certainly solvable in themselves by the way of negutia
tion, became only steceptible of being decided by en appeal
to arms. Fraser, who Iron towards Austria and Preside
sentiments only of esteem end benevolence, respite the
rights of both, but ran espouse seethe, the resentments nor
the pretensions of any power. She finds it to be natural
and just that two principal it:Maracas ahnuld share
between theta the sympathies of the Germanic nations.
These influences may balance each other, but neither of
the two ought to annul the other ; equity, reason, tee repot,
of the world, bind both toe perpetual compromise. If those
who preside over the destinies of two great peoples decidedly
renounce them conciliatory sentiments., France will behold
the combat with a strict impart's:4. She cannot desire the
victory of either, for such a victory would menace the sub-
jection of Gummy to the absolute preponderance of one
sole power. This result would be as contest,' to justice as
to the interests of Europe ; it would be, without any doubt,
opposed to the permanent policy of France. In the name of
its own policy, as well as of general interests, Franes is,
therefore, formally opposed to war. There is finally • con-
sideration which stake, all minds. Wet, in breaking ou',
might bring in its train evils still greeter then those of war
eerie The soil of Europe is still covered with fires
only half extiognished. War might reanimate these.
War might tarnish with chances fatal theories, hopes,
and peastoes. War is the last resource of tube. r
sive faction-; it might shake, even to its foundations,
European society; it might become only the icepro•
relent signal of • social was. This tbougbt ought to
dominate all other thoughts in the mind of the cable is of
Europe, particulaely of those which hare nobly entered upon
the way of wise reforms and serious propels. France, who
desires neither the triumph of absolutism nor the victory of
socialism—France, who has made within the last thirty
years more than one heavy saceitice to the peace of the world
—kas the right, to all appearance, to make ',laud pacific
weasels which she may instil, by her own example. Up to
the last moment she will remind the rival powers of the great
interests of civilisation and humanity. If the voile of was.
does is not heeded, the last service which Franca can render
is to contribute to et intinish,perhapiehe misfortunes of war—
to abridge, perhaps, its dentin, by relating loudly all sup.
port to the hopes of those parties who might promise them-
Delves to sem* her sooner or later in the quarrel, by con-
tradicting beforehand all the illuciow which may be formed
or feigned as to the disposition by which she is animated, by
dissipating the doubts which might be spread es to her entire
liberty of action. We have the will and the certainty ot
making order respected at home as we shall respect it abroad.
Tee concurrence of France is not engaged beforehand
to any party. The declaration of her neutrality would be
at the same time the declaration other independence. Neu-
trality—in fact, gentlemen, the only situation which accord-
leg to us is suitable to our country, the only one which we
could counsel you to adopt—neutrality, remark well, is not
inditlerence, nog • policy of complete aostinence. OJT men
into y cannot remain inactive; no; France is not indiffrrest
to what is passing in hareps ; she has • patties interest, •
dominating interest, which u peace; she will not Imo any
escasion to make this interest prevail in the councils of
sovereigns ; she declares her neutrality, because it is the
polity wek beet permits her to labour with pewee
for the maintenance or re-establishmrnt of peace. We
ought to say that in all these points we have felted our-
selves in perfect harmony with the ministers; their intim
tions ere oars, and the initiator of foreign affairs, with the
loyalty well known by the Assembly, has given ezplanatiens
meet caleelated to justify .the confidence with welch he
inspires vs. We ass sati-fled to thick that be has neglected
nothing le order to prevent • rupture. Es will not cease to
protest to favour of general peace ; and if war should cloak
out, he wig do all to circumscribe it within the circle o:
tiermen &flails, and to preserve the world irons • universal
conflagration.
The character of the meanie which has given oesuion to
the bill has been clearly determined before us. It has not
entered into the intentsea of the cabinet to make what is
sidled an armament nor eventual preparations for I know
not what extremities. The very disproportion of the mesas
it de ands, compared with those which would be required
by the least fa( es* ht of wee, orag4t to remove this thought ;
feat when hostilities commence, . wise government fortifies
es all points the gnuantees of order. Internal order is, we
de not forget, cue cf the Wept/ads*/ our independence.
Genoa moot be fired um, • single battle field without •
general distetbeace resulting. Bence the evident neteseity
of put. log upon a respectable footing all the furors which guard
the security of the country.
In the midst of the disorder of a 'rut was we could not
sager our frontier to be insulted. It is neciimary that it
should lee known that every insolent provocation, every die.
tusbieg propaganda, should be seemly punished. Suck is,
in a gm-rat point of view, the '&4 of tee levy which the
asi-
✓ietzy demands from us the means 01 tee:tare. This levy has
not and cannot have any other project. According to the state-
INVlMlrmenstanicated to VT, area the garrisons of the east
will cell raise 19,000 men out of tee 40,000 called under
arms. The government has not the project of arming upon
the Battier • eollectio• of tro ups organised as a corps d'arin ,
sr • eeepe of observation. Nothing makes as at this moment
foresee areemstences calculated to induce such • measure.
The Amiably cannot for the rest epprekend test • reso-
lution of this sort, which might, uoder certain circumstances,
by agitating mints, 10,1111 the future beyond the intentiocs
even of those whe might hare considered it would be taken
without its knowledge and participation. Troops cannot
quit their oedioary position to be set "pone footng of tumor-
theary convent:linen, still less upon • footing of war, without
this change encasioning exposers not presided for in the
budget, and consequently • previous demand of credit :
when the legislature is sitting it is an invariable
,• rule from which the ministers have never deviated
without engaging their restietesibility. Long ago this
rule was written is our laws of !Manse, and never
has it been more scrupulously observed than in the grave
circumstances in which we are placed. The Assembly
knows, in ha, what great duties the future may impose ; it
wishes, like the executive power, for peace ; like the execu-
tive power it wishes, at least we believe so, that France
should observe II strict neutrality. Ii she is ever to deviate
from this, it is important that she should do so freely, or at
least in yielding to inevitable necessity, and not • factitious
necessity engendered by reek measures. Fresco can only
fight it war is consented to by the Assembly ; really and in
fact this is the case with every free govercment. War is
impossible with such without the concurrence, at least indi-
rect, of the deliberative power, and even this concurrence le
manifested directli by the way of resolutions and &dames&
But in our consututional order, was depenes formally en

The use of so greet • prerogative requires the perfect Woke

no

these beforehand by the power of accomplished feats. At

We have not been able to go through all the
articles in the several Russian tariffs of 1834, 1841,
and 1845, but so far as we have examined we do not
find that in the new tariff liberality is predominant.
Reductions have been made in some articles, but its
most cases the duties have been increased even
beyond the tariff of 1841. The following are a few
notes we have made :—The duty on cotton twist is to
be 5 ronbles•, in 1841 the duty was 6.30; in 1834, 5.

Antwerp letters of Saturday evening report that
the news of a considerable reaction at Frankfort had
imparted a decidedly upward tendency to prices for
every description of stock. The last quotations are:
—Belgium Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 871 ; ditto
Five per Cents., 1840-42, 97 ; ditto Five per Cents.,
1848, 95. Austrian Five per Cent. MLtallica rose
from 64 to 67. Spanish Loan of 1834, 12 ; the Home
Three per Cents., 321. Exchange on London, 23.05
to 25.021.
'fhe operations in ;stocks on Saturday at Amster-
dam are reported to have been on more favourable
terms, and the market was much improved. Spanish
Ardoins, 121 ; ditto, Inland Three per Cents., 321.

that present prices are at their height.
Berlin advice, of Friday state that the Bourse ope-
rations were considerable, and that prices were better.

From New York our advice. are to the 20th ult. as
to the state of the metal market. Copper :—New
sheathing and yellow metal are steady at last quota-
tions. 6,000 lbs. ordinary sheathing sold at 181 cent,
caul. Iron :—We hear of sales of 230 tons English
tiers at 33 dole. to 35 doll. 50 c.•, and 50 tons common
Swedish steel iron at 82 dole. 50 c., six months. This
price, 8 months, hie been refused for invoices of or-
dinary Swedes to arrive. Of Scotch pig, several hun-
dred tons have changed hands at 19 dole. 371 o. to
20 dole. for cash, and 20 dole. 371 c. to 21 dole. 50 o.
6 months, part to arrive, but chiefly from store. Some
of the principal holders now demand higher rates.
Lead.—Pig remains very dell, and we have heard
of no sales since our lest
Tin.—Sales have been made of 500 slabs Banes at
20 c.; and 600 and 700 slabs Straits at 181 to 19 c.,
6 months.
By express of the overland mail we have advice. of
the metal markets at Bombay and Calcutta to the Ist
ultimo.
From Bombay the prices of most desert of
metals have fallen since last report, and ems ban
been at the same time a considerable nimble et tour
actions. The demand for British bar ins esalims
steady.
Swedish iron is now rather dull, and bat little
Is-
gniry for nail rod, square and round, sheet and hoop.
COpper—A large quantity has been imported by
tke ship Stag from Australia, and prices have further
declined for nearly all descriptions, especially South
American.
Lead, both pig and sheet is dull, the price of the
former having given way. Spelter Is firm.
From Calcutta—Copper has obtained an advance of
4 anima for sheathing, and 8 annas for tile.
