AMERICAN NEWS.

SEVEN DAYS LATER FROM THE

UNITED STATES.
LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY MORNING.

The Acadia, belonging to Cunard's line of
mail-steamers, has just arrived in the Mersey,
after a very speedy passage of ten days from
Halifax. She brings New York papers to the
13th, inclusive. She has on board 61 passengers.
The news she brings is chiefly of importance as
regards the domestic condition of the United
States.

Mr. Clay's Bill for the distribution of the pro-
ceeds of the public lands was read a second time
hi the Senate on June 12, and referred to the
Committee on _Public Lands, from whence it
was expected to be reported early in the ensuing
week.

Mr. Ewing, the Secretary of the Treasury,
on the same day, submitted to the Senate a plan
for the establishment of a fiscal agency at the
seat of Government, the substance of Which is
as follows :
It is proposed to incorporate a Bank in the district of Colum-
bia, by the name of the Fisealdoa
Bliarnsk,
with of
rtihpoveNUeiriitteodoStatbathess.,h
having a capital of 30,0001000
branches' or offices of discount and deposite. in the several
States, with the assent of the States; that the Government
subscribe one-fifth part of the capital ; and on the supposi-
tion that it is the purpose of Congress hereafter to direct
that the fourth instalment, appropriated by the Deposite Act
of June 2.3, 1836, shall be paid into the treasuries of the
several States, it is also proposed that a subscription to
that amount be made in the name of the United States, for the
use of the States respectively ; the stock to be assigned to, and
become the property of, 'such States as shall accept the same,
in the manner and in the proportions, and subject to all the
conditions provided and -imposed by that Act.
And for the amount of the six millions to be subscribed by
the United States on their own account, and also for
is
amount to be subscribed for the use of the several States, it s
proposed that a stock be created, bearing an interest of 5 per
cent. per annum, redeemable at the pleasure of the Govern-
ment at any time after fifteen years.
In case Congress sholild not see fit to make such a provision
as is proposed for paying to the States the fourth instalment
under the Deposite Act, it may be well worth while to consider
whether the States might not be permitted to take the stock of
the Bank according to their respective amount of popula-
tion, to the extent of ten millions in all, issuing, there-
for; stock of their own, bearing such interest, and re-
imbursable at such periods, as might be prescribed ;
the dividends on the shares thus held by the States,
respectively, to be applied, in tile first place, to the
payment of the interest on their stocks ; with a further pro-
vision, if thought necessary, that in case the proceeds of the
public lands should be assigned to the States, those proceeds
should be applied to the reimbursement of the principal of their
debts, or stocks, created or itsued for the purposes aforesaid.
It is proposed that the affairs of the Bank be managed by
seven Directors, two of them to be appointed by the President,
by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, and five to
be elected by the Stockholders, at their annual meeting. A
President to be chosen by the Directors out of their own body.
It is to have branches, to be the fiscal agent of
the Government, to receive the funds of the
United States, to deal in nothing but coin, bullion,
promissory notes, and bills of exchange. It is
to issue no note for less than ten dollars. There
is to be no other branch established by Congress
during the existence of the Charter. In short,
this financial agent is very like a national bank,
but it is not to have a monopoly of the issue of
paper money.

A General Bankruptcy Bill had also been in-
troduced into the Senate.
In the House of Representatives a consider-
able discussion had taken place on receiving pe-
titions for the abolition of slavery, and it was de-
cided, by 114 to 110, to preserve the rule as at

present, which is, we believe, not to receive suck

petitions.

The Bill for repealing the Sub-Treasury scheme
had passed through the Senate.

The Great Western arrived at New York on
the 10th, in fifteen days.
These papers do not contain one word about
M'Leod, but they are much occupied with va-
rious official documents concerning the navy, the
commerce of America, the war department, &c.,
some of which we shall give when we can find
room.

ir There had been some discussion in Congress as
to the conduct of England, and Mr. Calhoun cen-
sured. Mr. Webster for not having met the
threats of the British Government with suffi
cient dignity.
The following is the commercial intelligence :

The Great Western brought $250,000 in specie. We un-
derstand it was in gold. Our stock of specie is very large,
and constantly increased by arrivals from the interior and the
South, Mexico, South America, &c. There is some demand
for Mexican dollars for export to Havre, as the high rate of
exchange on Paris causes some of the remittances to go for-
ward in that shape. We understand the packet of the 17th,
will take a considerable amount. Our Banks, however, have
a surplus, and a much larger drain would cause no alarm. The
rates for specie are—Spanish dollars 3 1 2 per cent. premium ;
Mexican do. 3-4 a 1 ; Spanish doubloons, 16 ; Patriot do.
15,70; sovereigns. 4,84; five franc pieces, 93 1-2 a 94.
The money market is abundantly supplied, and considerable
difficulty is experienced by the Banks and indiyiduals in the
employment of their floating capital to advantage. The prices
at which securities for temporary investment are selling is proof
enough of this fact. Our State Fives at 87 1-2, which is the
rate to-day, will only yield the purchaser 5 3-4 per cent. inte-
rest on a par stock. Upon ample security money can be bor-
rowed at 6 per cent. from the Banks, and five and six months'
paper is freely discounted, when formerly the rule restricting
discounts to 90 days' paper, was strictly enforced. The street
rate on good business paper is 7 to 8 per cent.
Although the advises by the Great Western had an unfa-
vourable effect on the Cotton Market by arresting operations
to a great extent, yet we cannot learn that any change in rates
has been submitted to. Holders are very firm and not disposed
to press their lots on the market in the face of a demand on the
part of buyers of a reduction, while, on the other hand, operators
appear to be quite indifferent about coming into the market, con-
sequently the ;sales are only some 500 bales per day, about half
of which are to spinners. Of flour the supplies by the Erie Ca-
nal are light, and holders are firm at $5 for Genesee. Buyers,
however, decline purchasing at that rate, excepting to supply
immediate wants. Of Michigan and Ohio the supply is larger
in proportion, and holders are more ready to sell. We quote
the former at 4,69 a 4,75 ; Ohio 4,75 a 4,871. Of Southern
the market is nearly bare, excepting Georgetown and Howard-
street, which are field at 5,12 f. Sales, Bi andywine and Phi-
ladelphia at 5 dollars. Southern oats and corn are not very
plenty, but other descriptions of grain are coming in more
freely. Sales 1,600 bushels Delaware Corn at 57c. weight
delivered; 3,000 bushels Northern do. at 56, 57, and 58c.
weight delivered, and 3,500 do. at 59 a 60c. measure ; 4,300
bushels Rye at 57 a 58c. delivered; 5.000 bushels Northern
Oats at 43c. plenty and dull ; Southern scarce at 35c. A
parcel of 1,600 bushels fair Ohio Wheat was taken at $1,12*
Ashes, Pots and Pearls are $5, the former are in steady de.
mend; in Pearls there is some tendency to advance.

We state, with mingled grief and indignation,
that the City of London has failed to do its
duty. It has not returned four advocates of free
trade triumphantly, by large majorities. We
can scarcely venture to say, in the present doubt-
ful state of the poll, and with the conflicting
claims of the two parties, how many monopo-
lists, and how many anti-monopolists the City
has returned ; but when the official' announce-
ment is made, we believe that the result will be
two of each. London, then, is neutralised. It will
be as it were unrepresented in this party contest,
and will have no influence by its votes on the
fate of the empire. In proportion as we and all
men expected much from its example, great is
our disappointment at this result. We looked

to it for the encouragement of our cause, bu

we are repulsed, and told that London, the
mighty queen of liberty, will now do nothing
for freedom. London is become inefficient,
neuter, nothing.
A cry of piteous distress came from the ma-
nufacturing districts to rich London for help,—
from those districts which contribute so much to
London's greatness,—and London has turned a
deaf ear to the heart-rending tale. Idle fears
for its own wealth, intense selfishness, the off-
spring of continual indulgence and enjoyment,
an association of monopolists of various kinds,
have made London—once free, and always com-
mercial London view with indifference or
apathy the distress that has not yet reached

herself. Money was unasked of her—she was
only asked to help the suffering people to obtain

justice, and that she has refused. To have at-

tended to the prayer would have been as honour-
able to London as it would have been advan-
tageous to the empire, and London has dis-
graced herself by her refusal. Our grief is fOr
the country at large, injured by her con-
duct.— our indignation is for the base and
heartless men who have seduced her to leave

the honourable post she occupied in the first ranks
of freedom.

We know the arts that wealth and influence
have used to attain this end. We know that
corruption and intimidation have been ac-
tively at work. We know that false re-
presentations have on this, as on other occasions,
had the wished-for effect on the unwary ; and
knowing.these things, we inust pronounce Lon-;
don degraded and disgraced. She is no longer,
as in the olden time, the bulwark of the na-
tional freedom. She is now little better than a
huge den of speculators and gamblers, amongst
whom the soul of patriotism - has been -al-
most exting,nished, by the sordid thirst of
gold. her pains-taking, frugal, citizens have
given place to gay merchants and speculators
who no longer dwell within her bounds, but flee
from her, to ape at a distance the follies of the
tyrant and plundering aristocracy. They come
to her for their opulence, and they come to her
when they can, as in this case, make her serve
their monopolizingtstehlfiosuhghanwdefeet for London
purposes.

The City Tories dare not speak
against it.
Those who suffer from monopoly . must now
see that they have nothing to hope from 'those
who profit by it, whatever may be their pre-
tensions. They must, therefore, undisguisedly
help themselves, and they must consider how
they can best accomplish that. Forbearance, re-
spect for the so-called rights of those who
persist in starving them out of existence,
they will, for their own preservation, no longer
entertain ; and they will act on that selfish prin-
ciple to which the Tory electors of London have
sactificed the best interests of the nation. The
election Of yesterday, instead of fulfilling Lord
JOHN RUSSELL'S beautiful wish of "MAK-
ING US ALL ONE PEOPLE," has strength-
ened the elements of discord which pre-
viously existed, and added the Tories of Lon-
don to the avowed enemies of the starving
manufacturers.

While we want words to express the abhor-
rence with which we regard those who have
seduced the electors to give votes for the mono-
polists, and those who have been seduced
to sacrifice their own honour and late-

rest, let us not forget to do justice to
those active, enterprising, uhtirine then, 'like
Mr. Loy% Mr. ROBARTS, and Mr. ,TRAVERS,
who have fought in the good cause. They have
resisted, we know, manifold temptation; they
have exerted themselves to' the *utmost, and if
they have not now obtained complete success,
they have deserved it. The time is not far dis-
tant, we trust, though much suffering may
first intervene, when they will see, as they
have heretofore seen, the principles they have
struggled for under more adverse circumstances
than they are now placed in, embraced by their
opponents, as the only means of safety, and as-
sured a complete ascendancy.

The Times of Monday contained a considerable
number of revelations. " The substantial pa-
triotism," it said of the Tories, '" was often over-
looked while they were in office," meaning, as
we read the obscure oracle, that they forget
their patriotism to promote their private inte-
rests. We have, of late, not unfrequently ac-

cused them of gross and glaring impiety. The
Times says :—" The silent and resistless ordina-
tions of Providence were gradually commanding
their assent." The Times means, as the gist of
the whole article proves, that the Tories re-
Fisted, from forgetting their own patriotism,
" the ordinations of Providence" as long 'as
possible, and, after having done all the mischief
in their power, reluctantly yielded, when they
could not avoid yielding. The next sentence of
our Contemporary makes the matter perfectly
clear :,

" The earlier axioms of political science which they (the
Tories) had imbibed, yielded to its advancing phenomena;
till at length the defective Parliamentary representation
of the country, led to the introduction of the Reform
Bill, which, as we have often said before, was occasioned
rather by a sort of philosophical necessity than by the
peculiar patriotism of any ascendant faction, though cer-
tainly the Tories, with their previous experience of revo-
lutionary experiments, were timidly backward to enter-
tain it."

Philosophical necessity, or necessity of any
kind, is another phrase fur the ordinations of
Providence : and the Times, therefore, now re-
veals to us that the Tories who resisted the Re-
form Bill, and everything like reform, to the ut-
most, even to convulsing the empire, were im-
piously resisting the ordinations of Providence.
What the Tories then did, they are now doing.
The old Tory principles which they have im-
bibed, yield very slowly to the advance of know-
ledge, and the Tories now resist the ordinations
of Picividence, by upholding the law which
starves the people, as they resisted them when
they convulsed the country to oppose Reform.
According to the revelations of the Times, there
is a philosophical necessity, or an ordination of
Providence, which overrules and overturns the
principles of the Tories ; and this necessity, or
ordination, is just now as powerful as when the
Reform Bill passed.
Society no more stands still than does the
earth. The men who formerly convulsed the
community by resisting its progress, are now
again trying their hand at the same work. They
are bribing, intimidating, cajoling, cheating, and
gulling the electors into voting for them, in order
that they may have the power once more im-
piously to resist the ordinations of Providence.

If they should meet with temporary success,
which we believe is scarcely possible, if the
wicked should for a short time get the upper
hand, it is perfectly cle4r that the spirit which
has now been aroused in the country, the senti-
ments which pervade the masses, will soon break
fbrth in united action, and hurl them down into a

deeper hell of humiliation than they ever ye
were cast into.

But the Times, however, seems to suppose that
it has found out a means of enabling the Tories
now to resist the " resistless ordinations of Pro-
vidence." What the unshorn, undivided strength
of Toryism could not accomplish in 1828, 1529,
aided by rotten boroughs and a Church more cor-
rupt and rotten than the boroughs, those wondrous
wights Sir R. PEEL, Lord STANLEY, Sir JAMES
GRAHAM, and the Duke of RICHMOND, are easily
to achieve by forming a grand " national party,"
which is to govern on some entirely new prin-
ciples. "It is to be a Conservative Govern-
ment in the proper meaning of these terms,''
which "has never yet been tried in this country."
'The Tories, according to their own organ, have

been fairly beaten out of their own principles,
and the Times reveals to us that they are to
embrace a new doctrine, and try new schemes
of delusion.

The first and main principle is obedience' to
public opinion. " After a particular course of
policy has been soberly weighed and resolutely
demanded by the country, no Cabinet on earth
can be in a condition to withhold it." But the
national party is at the same time to
prevent the " rampant ascendancy of the demo-
cracy." While they coerce the people they are

o have temperate reform and eonstitutiona,

liberty. They set out on the principle that the
opinion of the democratic multitude is to be re-
duced to subservency to the opinion of the aristo-
cratic few, headed by the Duke of Rica-
MOND and Sir ROBERT PEEL. This grand national
party—this Government on new principles, is
to be a betwixt and a between thing, a Govern-
ment neither of Whigs nor Tories, but opposed
to the Radicals ; a Government neither of reason
nor prescription, neither justified by science nor
tradition ;—a Government neither of right nor
of wrong, neither of tyranny nor of freedom—
neither exclusively allied with the ancient Esta-
blishment nor with the voluntary principle ,—a
Government which is to yield to necessity, but to
resist the greatest of all modern necessities—the
progress of the democracy. It is to be bound
by no principle, to lean on no party, save the
monopolists. It is• to be based on no opi-
nion, but ready and willing to em-
brace any principle, or adopt any opinion
which is likely to keep the " National party" in
place and power. Such is the middle sort of
thing, the neither fish nor flesh nor good red-
herring system, which the Times now offers to
the people, and calls on them to support at the
elections. One principle, indeed it has—the
principle of combining to resist the progress of
truth, knowledge, and freedom, the Tories being
again most sillily bent on resisting the " resist
less ordinations ,of Providence, and ready now,
as in 1831, to convulse the country without at-
taining their ends, in order to gratify their blind,
senseless, and factious ambition.

The leading event of this day in Paris, as we learn by
our correspondence of Monday, was the funeral of M.
BERRYER, senior, father of the celebrated Legitimist
liiputy, which came in curious contrast within forty-
eight hours after that of M. GARNIER PAGES, one of the
most independent men in the Chamber of Deputies.
This second ceremony, like the first, passed off with per-
fect order ; it was attended by many of the leading legi-
timists still in Paris (most of that party have fled
with the " Grandes Dames" of the Faubourg St. Germain
to the watering places), and by most of the members of
the Paris bar, by whom M. BERRYER was held in univer-
sal respect. He had been long in the receipt of a large
income from a first-rate practice, but of late years acted
only as a chamber counsel. Notwithstanding this he is
said to have died poor, nearly as poor as his son is, and
it is hinted that he used to spend his money, in former
days, as many an eminent lawyer has done before him
both in France and England, upon the fairer portion of
his clients.
Marshal SOULT is said to be still anxious to get rid or'
M. GUIZOT if he could find any decent pretext for
making such'a violent dislocation of the Cabinet ; and he
is reported, with probability, to be determined on sacri-
ficing M. MARTIN DU NORD, whose clumsy misma-
nagement of the affair of the letters—the famous letters
of the Contemporaine—has rendered him exceedingly
obnoxious to an illustrious personage. The name of
Tumas is " never mentioned now." His residence in '
the Place St. George is shut up, and he is working at
his "History of NAPOLEON" at Lille. The expectations
of M. GUIZOT and his friends with regard to England
are, that the Tories will succeed in getting a majority
in the elections ; and their sympathies are decidedly
with that party.. M. HUMANS, the Minister of Fi-
na,nce, finds his hands so full of business with the nego-
tiations concerning the new loan, that he has aban-
Lioned the odious fiscal measures lie had commenced
for apparently augmenting the population of cer-
tain towns by unduly influencing the returns, and
so obtaining a legal pretext for increasing their taxes.
It is reported that the diffBrence between his,propoSals
and those of the house of RopiscuiLD aniounts only to
three francs. M. HUMANN wants to get the loans taken
at 78f., and Roruscumopersists in offering only '7sf.
The fact of overtures having been made by the Minis-

ters to German houses at Berlin, Frankfort, &c., is be-
yond a' doubt.
The Duke of ORLEANS went to Fontainbleau to re-
ceive the ' Duke de NEMOURS, who, it is now
said, is glad to absent himself from Court in con-
sequence of . a tiff with the Marshal, and another
obstinate personage, on the affairs of General BATHOU-
ARD, whose cause the Duke had warmly espoused.
The General had recommended the urging on of the
works on the continuous line of fortifications rather too
warmly, and had not laid due weight on the importance
of the detached forts. Hence his conduct was viewed
with suspicion at Court, and his dismissal from the head
of the artillery followed as a matter of course.
The Charivari publishes. an amusing diary, said to be
kept by Mademoiselle RACHEL at London: The fair tra-
gedian is made to say in it that Count D'Orts-iv and the
Earl of CARDIGAN have nearly had an . affair of ,honour
on her account. And. after various absurd' allusions to
public men of the day, she motes doWn that Sir 1-ZonERT
liiams has written to her to beg fer an interview.!
Our letters from Madrid, With papers, of the 21st inst.,
have come to hand. The':iiiibiltdor contains a letter from
the Count de PARSENT, Secretary to the Inf:tiit Don
FRANCISCO DE PAULA, who writes from Paris on the
15th, to disclaim, on the part Of that-Prince, any intrigues,
which certain journals have asserted lie is setting on
foot, for obtaining his nominatioa as one of the.guardians
of the
.young QUEEN. The 'lnfant denied his partici-
pation in any such proceedings 4 and declares that in all
his actions he is guided by the sole love of his country.
He adds that the Prince will always bow with submis-
sion to the decision of the Cortex. A private letter from
Madrid says that the Minister of Finance has offered the
proceeds of the sales of salt and other monopolies as se-
curity for the loan of fifty millions of reals, which
he is trying to negotiate, but his ultimate .success
was considered doubful. In the Senate, on. the
21st, the Committee on disputed elections recom-
mended that Don PEDRO CHSCON should be de-
clared to have vacated his seat by accepting the office of
Captain-General of New Castle. The report was laid
on the table. The Committee on the new tariff question
then brought up its report, which' was ordered to 'be
printed„ M. CAMPAZANO put some questions to the
Minister of Foreign Affairs, on the laxity with which the
Custom-house regulations were observed on the frontier to-
wards Portugal, and asked him to give explanations on
what he called" the scandalous" contraband trade in salt,
carried on by smugglers in that direction. The Minister
replied that Government had their attention turned
towards the subject, and would not neglect the in-
terests of the country. The Corresponsal publishes a
proclamation from the Municipality to the inhabitants of
the capital, congratulating ,them on theenthusiastic

manner-in which the anniversary of the Revolution of
1837 had been celebratttd, and on the good order ob=
served by all classes on that occasion. Several accidentS
are mentioned as having occurred at Cadiz on the day
of the procession of the Corpus Domini—a young man
fell from a high balcony in the principal street, and was
killed ; another was run over, and severely injured. In
general the accounts from the provinces of Spain were
satisfactory. On the Exchange of Madrid, on the 21st,
there had been 27 operations effected for a total sum of
13,400,000 reels (134,0001.) in the following stock—Five
per Cents. at 261 for cash ; and at 26 13-16 15-16 to
27* at various ates.

We have seen a letter from Erzeroumwhich mentions the
discovery of a conspiracy there to murder the PAcitA, and
then to set fire to all the principal buildings of the place.
A certain Au BEY was the leader of this machination ;
he is the Captain of an irregular band of soldiers in the
service of the Porte. The authorities, after having tried
him and his accomplices, ordered them to be banished to
Kars. HAFIZ PACHA is stated to have sent in his resig-
nation to the Turkish Ministry, because they will not
support him in carrying out certain measures of re-
formed administration, which he considers necessary for
the district under his, authority. llAriz bears the cha-
racter of a very honest and excellent man. It will be
remembered that he commanded. the Turkish troops at
the fatal battle of Nezib. The same letter says that
numbers of Turkish families in that part of the Ottoman
Empire are migrating into Russia, in order to enjoy the
benefits of a more stable form of Government, and to
avoid the vexatious rapacity of the local Turkish autho-
rities. It was supposed that some remonstrances on this
subject would be made to Russia by the Porte.
A rumour is prevalent at Vienna, that the King and
Queen of NAPLES intend visiting the Austrian capital
this summer, on occasion of the marriage of the young
Princess, the daughter of the Prince de SALERNO. Their
Majesties would afterwards go to Baden, for the season

of ihe waters. The cause of the marriage of the Arch-
duke STEPHEN with the Grand Duchess OLGA, of Russia,
not taking place is stated to arise from the Emperor of
AUSTRIA not being willing, or perhaps able, to confer on
his Imperial. Highness the office of Prince Palatine of
Hungary.

A-Tu'rin letter informs us, that the Sardinian capital,
and the surrounding districts, are overspread with false
gold and silver money, fabricated as is supposed in Switz-
erland. The pieces are hollowed out in the middle, each
face being suffered to remain intact, and the interval
being filled up with baser metal. The falsification is said
to be skilfully done, and very difficult of detection.
Lord HOLLAND arrived at Parma, from Modena, on the
17th instant; and had: the honour of presenting his cre-
dentials to the Grand Duchess. I lis Imperial Highness
left the same day for the baths of Ischl, accompanied by
the Count de Bo M BELLE s, the Marchesa PALLAVICINO, and
the Baroness ZonEL.

The funeral of M. Gamier Pages passed off (says the Na-
tional) without the least disorder. Al. Odillon Barrot, who
was to have paid a tribute to the deceased, had retired
from the procession as it entered the cemetery of Pere la
Chaise, in consequence (says the Commerce) of some manifes-
tation of the people against the fortifications, of which M.
Barrot had been one of the most strenuous promoters. M.
Arago and M. Joly, colleagues of M. Gamier Pages in the
Chamber of Deputies ; M. Bastide, Editor of the National
and M. Lesseps, Editor of the Commerce, severally pronounced
orations over his tomb. Next came M. Blaise, in the name of
the Reform Committee of Paris ; M. Dupotz, publisher of the
Journal de Peupk, and M. Duthoy, in that of the labouring
classes ; and M. Marlet, as the representative of the schools :
the ceremony was concluded by an affecting address of M.
Pagnerre, expressive of the sorrow of the private friends of M.
Gamier Pages. All these speeches were one continued strain
of democratic effusions,-and elicited from the immense crowd
to which :they were addressed expressions of adhesion, very
ominous for the existence of monarchy. The Republican
prisoners detained at St. Pelagie, Lamennais, Lagrange,
'fhore, Esquiros, Bergeron, &c., ad tressed a letter to the Na-
tional and Commerce, in which they manifested their lively re-
gret at their inability to join only in heart the citizens called
to render the last honours to the illustrious deceased. The
Commerce thus terminates its account of the funeral—" After
the ceremony, the spectators retired with order and decorum,
which did not cease an instant to prevail in that patriotic re-
union. The cortege could not be formed of less than 40,000
or 50,000 citizens, and the population which assembled on its
passage exceeded 160,000 souls. The thy will not be lost for
the country. The national opinion not only offered a proof of
its strength, but it also afforded evidence of its wisdom. We
congratulate it on this result, and recommend the people to
persist in this course, which is the surest means of reaping
speedily the fruit of their exertions, and hastening the period
promised to us by this grand manifestation,"
The same paper contains a long article on the natural boun-
daries of France, and says, that the left bank of the Rhine,
together with Belgium, ought to belong to France, as well as
Savoy ; for the same reason that the Swiss Cantons, originally
French, belong to Switzerland, and for the same reason that
Hungary and the principalities will of necessity form part of a
future German empire. " The question," continues the Na-
tional, "is no longer whether the territories of a nation should be
extended in order to gratify egotistical pretensions. The inter-
ests ought to be reciprocal, and it is lawful for a nation to se-
cure natural frontiers for herself, which would afford a further
security for general peace, provided the country to be annexed
gain, or at least will not suffer, by the transfer.
"Thus the reunion of Holland to France would be an act of
odious ambition and illegitimate pretension, inasmuch as Hol-
land, which is essentially commercial, has 'distinct and opposite
interests to those of France. But Bavaria and Rhenish Prus-
sia, and even Belgium, would, on the contrary, gain by a union
with France in the same manner as Alsace, Lorraine,
and French Flanders have already benefited. The preten-
sions of France, therefore, to unite those provinces to her ter.
ritory is but natural and perfectly legitimate. The same ob-
servation applies to Savoy. Let Prussia, in compensation for
what she will lose on the left bank of the Rhine, establish her-
self more compactly on the right bank. Let her abandon the
Moselle, and possess herself of th2.ll7aine. In losing the Vis-
tula, in order that the kingdom of Poland be re-constructed,
let her acquire the Elbe, and this fusion of the northern
States will facilitate the constitution of a German empire.
On the other side, let Austria restore Gallicia to Poland rege-
nerated, retire from Venice and Milan to maks place for new
Italy, and indemnify herself by the acquisition of all those
rich and unfortunate provinces which the Danube washes on
its passage to the Black Sea. Let her even extend her domi-
nion on the eastern coast of the Adriatic, where her navy has
a right to an ascendancy, and then she will acquire wealth
and power, which oppressed Gallicia and Lombardy do not
afford her.

" Germans," concludes the National, " the German'press,
under the direction of the censors, excites you against France.
It points at the Rhine. Do 'you observe the Danube, which is
an essentially German river? Whilst Great Britain delivers up
the mouths of the Danube to Russia, in order to close this route
against your commerce, your soldiers and your princes are aiding
the English to take possession of the Euphrates and the Isthmus
of Suez. After that sing the free Rhine !' "

. A meeting in connection with the Societies for
the Suppression of Intemperance was held last evening, at Ex-
eter Had, at which B. Retch, Esq., presided, to call the atten-
tion
of the public to the evils of the drinking practices usually
prevalent-at elections, and of making
an appeal to the electors
of Great Britain and Ireland generally to discountenance such
practices at the ensuing elections. Several eloquent speeches
were delivered in support of resolutions expressive of the demo-
ralizing effect of the drinking customs at elections, and calling
upon every lover of his country to assist in removing the evil.
The meeting was numerously attended.
FATAL ACCIDENT.—.This morning a female
servant, aged only seventeen years, while attempting to clean
the n inflows of a second-floor room in the Waterloo-road,
mis'ed her footing, and was precipitated on the terrace be-
neath, from a height of nearly forty feet. The poor girl was
immediately conveyed to Guy's Hospital in the Borough, still
breathing, but no hopes are entertained of her recovery.

EX PRESS FROM PARIS

MADRID, JUNE 24.—1 n the sitting of the Cortes this
day, the guardianship
.of the young Queen has been de-
clared vacant by 129 against 1.
MADRID, Jtni.22.—The Chambers have commenced
the discuSsion on the question of the guardianship, the
proposition of M. Luzuriaga that one should be appointed
to act with the Queen Mother during her absence, was
rejected. M. Pacheco vehemently supported the pro-
po,ition. s The debate lasted two days. The Minister
of Finance presented two " projet de loi," the one rela-
tive to the formation of a Committee of public credit,
and the other for the management and the disposal of
the National Estates. The funds remain the same, about
261 for cash.

TOULON, JUNE 26.—Vice-Admiral Lafause was to

Tunis.

FRONTIERS OF TLTRKEY, JUNE 16.—The treaty cy
commerce. between Piussi.a and the Porte, which Ivit
extend to all the German States of the Union,. has just
been ratified.

-oAnisrtuitE, JUNE 25.—The treat'' of commerce and
navigation between England and the German Customs'
Union gives rise to violent discussion .With the press in
Germany. Some journals, at the head of which is the fiva-
orate d' Augsbourg, which is supposed to be influenced by
some great Power, condemns the treaty, on the ground
that it, ought not to have been effected with-
out taking the sense of the whole of the union on the
subject. The Prussian Cabinet, at the same time that it
tolerates an independent line of policy, upholds the
treaty through the medium of the press.
Thellatti Scheriff, which has been accepted-and pro-
claimedby-Mehemet Ali, was the result of a convention
signedrby the Four Powers—that relative to the- tribute
wes a ;direct question between the Pacha and the Vice-
roy, to which they offered their friendly but not official
interference. •
