of Louis NAPOLEON WOW the only possible. For
this, however, recent events have unfitted the nephew
of the Emperor. He is henceforth a mese poppet to
the hands of the resetiooker, a dishonotitsy3 and
therefore a powerless one.
What, however, is chit fly important to us in this
death revolution is the inveteracy felt epithet. Eng-
land by tie many of the influential of the new rulers
of France. Most of them' have been in power, and
all have hit personally aggrieved by the reset of
negotiations and operations in which Eoglend and
Preece have been Jointly concerned. Although
satiated is them, more by the vanity of
appearing great than by the ambition of being so,
and although the disappointment in such aims en-
tafkd ne reel toss. still each politician feels deeply
hie own discomfiture. And the French leargthves
have a berme of all English statesmen save those high
tory uses with whom they have really not come into
contact or conflict. Alarmed at present, moreover, by
the rampant democracy which they know not well
how to resist, all their sympathies are towards abso-
lutism. and they alther these liberal tendencies of ours,
which put them to shame.
These are serious &secedes in the way of Francs
and England acting in coccert. We trust, however,
that they are sot insurmountable. We view French
internal politics more as critics than as parties; and,
whatever government er form of government may
arks, oat of events la France, we ought not to be pre-
pared to quarrel with it.
It is satisfactory at each a time to kern that the
difference between the two cabinets, respecting the
affairs of Greece, is in a fair way of being settled.
There weld not sorely be a more conciliatory offer
than to allow the Greek government to substitute the
terms of the London convention for those of their
own concluded in Athens. It will coat the Greeks
two thousand pounds more, bat if it pacifies their
vanity aid heals the wounds of French sensibility. the
price is not exorbitant.

Tag Board of Trade returns peblisbed yesterday
for the mon•h, and for thi four months ending
the sth of May, show an increase of exports and
imports of all the principal artiees of manatee-
' tare and consumpttoo, and afford throughout a
triumph for free trade. The incessant prophecy
of the protectionists during the League agitation
was, that under freedom, oar foreign trade would
speedily dexsy, and that with a low price of
corn, the home use of every article of import would
decrease. In 1848, the average price of wheat was
60s. 7d.•, in 1849, 44s 2d. • and so far, in 1850, it
has been 395. Fur the month Lided May,
1848, the declared value of osrexports was 3,555,5281.;
for the same month of 1849, 4,014,6141. ; and for the
month 1850, it has been 6,412.846/. ; for the four
mouthy ended respectively May 6,1848, '49, and 'so,rhe
exports are 15,239,8611.,16 836,6471., and 20,067,9991.,
being an increser in exports for the foyer month. of
18.50 over 1849 of 3.231,3521., and over the bur
months of 1848 of 4,828,1381., and that this enormous
increase of exports stands side by side with
increased prosperity of the great masses of
the people, we hive abundant proof in the increased
import and oicantoption of such articles of com-
mon oie, as tea, collet , and sugar, and which not be-
ing articles of absolute necessity, form the surest in-
dex of the growing or decreasing means of the peo-
ple. Of tea, for the months ending respectively May
6,1848, '49,azd '5O, the imports have been-5,551,714
lbs., 8,012,939 lbs.. and 11,728,502 lb& ; and for the
four months, 22.032,515 lbs., 26,762,310 lbs., and
27,904,234 lbs., being an increase of 2,162,024 lbs.
over the imports of 1849, and of 5,8.51,819 lbs.
over those of 1860. Of coffee, for the four
months, 7,175.192, 7,068,351, and 8,706800. Of
sugar, the imports fur the four months have been,
respectively, 1,488,2.53 erns., 1,638,554 owns., rued
2,018,567 cwts., showing an increase over 1849 of
480,003 owt&, and over 1818 of 630,304 cwts. And
for tie several periods the imports from British
possessions and foreign countries were for the four
months 1848. 1,246,721 ; foreign, 341,632 eyrie. 1849 :
British, 1,237,006; foreign, 301,648. And 1850:
British, 1.703,899; and foreign, 214,6.58; showing
a decrease in the import of foreign sugars be-
tween 1849 and_lB4B of 39,984 olds. ; between
1850 and '49 of 88,890 owts., and between 1850-48,
of 126,874 cwts. The tibles are therefore a complete
refutation of the asserted ruin of our West ladian
colonies from the increasing import of foreign sugars
whether of free or slave labour production. The in-
creased demand for sugar, arising from the lowered
price consequent on the reduction of duty has
been supplied in steadily. increasing gun-
tides by our own possessions. and however
eagerly foreigners may, on the first lowering of the
ctilerential duties have speculated in increased pro.
duction for uur market, it is clear that whatever may
be said as to the cheapness of slave labour, it, em-
ployers are beginuing to withdraw from the competi-
tion with our own free labour producers. _

As es shipping the malts it no less satisfactory.
?he talks give an account of the first four months ut
open essepetttion with all the shipping of the world.
1. or the four months of 1848, sailing under the navi-
gation laws, there were entered inwards :—British,
3,728 ships of 818,637 tone ; foreign, 2,233 ships of
363,463 tons.-1849 (still under navigation laws) :
—British, 4,933 ships of 1,046,813 toes; foreign,
3,268 ships of 608,147 tons •, and in 1860, without
navigation laws:—British, 4,603 ships of 948,746
tons ; and 3,246 foreign of 482,708 ton.. Ti,.
decrease in the entire tonnage of the present year
is eerily mounted for by the decreased
import of foreign oorn, but still the tonnage of foreign
vessels is less for the friar months of 1850, under bee
cumpebtioe than of 1819 under our protective
navigation laws.
As to vessels outward, the tables show a similar
emit, the British tonnage being respectively
1,163,780 tone, 1,211,784 toes, arid 1,2.58,896 tons,
and foreign 4f8,482 tons, 612,780 tons, and 483,420
tons; far, therefore, the shipowners' prophecies
of rain from reseal of the navigation 'sell have, like
the rest of t • destructions foretold iu their piles of
blue books, come to nothing. Americans have nut
y t crowded all was with their cheap ship* nor
sailed away with the whole trtioe of the wold.
Of American vessels there were enured inwards
under the nevigation laws in the first four mouths
of 1848-1849 respestively, 196 ships, of 136,261 tons,
and 341 ship,* of 213,606 tow, and to 1860 the Na.
