that our machinery is exporting daily, that our ma-
nufactures cannot contend with those of the Con-

tinent, that our skilful artizans are daily expa-
triating themselves, and that our manufacturers
are preparing to follow skilled labour and its ingeni-
ous results, putting them to use in other countries,
to which they will give all the advantages of
British talent, British industry, and British capital.
They wish the manufacturers a good voyage, and in-
form them that the country will be happy to get rid of
them. The Devil's laws have been appropriately com-
pared to the revocation of the edict of Nantes, which drove
from France the most ingenious of her people, and gave
her manufactures and commerce a blow which they have
never recovered. That revocation was dictated by blind,
stupid bigotry which, we take leave to say, was a high
and ennobling motive compared to the scoundrel
avarice which dictates our Corn-laws. The present
patriotism of the Tories, however, if we may judge by
the Morning Post, partakes of the devilish character

of both these motives, for they actually rejoice over
the embarrassment and ruin, over the decay and ba-
nishment of our manufactures, which the Corn-laws

are now causing.

The Paris Papers of Monday announce the con-
tinuance of the debate in the Chamber of Deputies
relative to the evacuation of Ancona, but to the hour
when the mails left for London, no division had taken
place. It was generally believed that Ministers would
resign on the presentation of the address—even in the

event of their maintaining their present small m.jo-
rity upon every subsequent division, of which
they were rather doubtful. The correspondent of
the Morning Chronicle, in a letter of Monday's date,
very lucidly and forcibly illustrates the present state of
parties in the Chamber. He states correctly, that
what is called the Centre of the Chamber consists of
about 200 members, placemen, pensioners, contrac-
tors, petty officials, and waiters upon Providence, who
vote uniformly with every Cabinet. This is the KING'S
party, and resemble that party in England, who, during
the first American war, bestowed upon themselves
the name of " the King's friends." To this party
every candidate for a seat in the Cabinet hitherto was
in'the habit of of appealing, and whenever the case was
doubtful, the leaders took their cue from the intelligi-
ble hints conveyed to them directly from the Chateau.
MM. THIERS and GUIZOT have, however, dared to
set the Centre at open defiance, by forming a
coalition with the Left, so formidable, as already
to lead to numerous desertions from the old
Royal phalanx. While occupying a Bench be-
hind the Minister, M. THEIRS made some friends
who have ranged themselves behind him in his newly
chosen locality. As this is tantamount to a threat to
govern without the old acts of Ministerial corruption,
and consequently to break up the Centre, the rage of
that party is as natural as it is intelligible. Should
M. THEIRS succeed, the KING'S influence in the
Chamber will be reduced within Constitutional limits.
Bur, unfortunately, no faith can be reposed in the pa-
triotism of a man more under the influence of tem-
perament than principle, and who will never be at
a loss to discover in expediency an excuse for change
of system.

The Gazette de France, a Carlist organ, announces
defeat of a detachment of Christinos at San
loch, by -a
band of Carlists, under CASTOR, in
which the former had 700 men killed and wounded,
while the latter lost only 80. Bulletins of this de-
scription are so frequently manufactured in Bayonne
and Paris, that we place no faith in them. Possibly
the above announcement has reference to a skirmish
which took place on the 2d instant, at the fortified
bridge of Udally, in which nearly 500 men were killed
and w6unded on both sides; but which, except this
amount of bloodshed, was productive of no result

The German Papers received this morning contain
very little news of general interest. The Emperor
NICHOLAS has elevated M. TA TISCHEFP, his Am-
bassador at the Court of Vienna, to the dignity of a
Member of the Council of the Empire, in consideration
of his services in Germany. The King of SWEDEN,
to improve his health, and allay the disaffection of his
subjects, is making the tour of his dominions.

The Quebec Mercury of the 14th ultimo, received
to-day, contains a report of a meeting of merchants,
held in the city of Quebec, to prepare a remonstrance
to the Government against an order received by the
Collector of Customs, to insist upon all payments of
Taxes, and Port and Harbour Dues, being made in
specie. Several resolutions were unanimously adopted,
setting forth the hardships of such an order, at a time
when the mercantile community were, by an Act of the
local Legislature, compelled to receive Bank paper.
