Mexico. Now, however, the case has been rendered
altogether different. Efforts have been made by the
Colonial part of the present Administration, under the
able and vigilant superintendence of Earl GREY—
not to lull the monster by throwing it a sop, like
2EsnAs, but to strangle it outright, and relieve those
colonies from a protracted incubus. Efforts of this
character have been made, and efforts so peculiarly
energetic, that they must ultimately prove success-
ful. An economical system of cultivation will before
long be introduced into our different West Indian
possessions—a system which will elicit the most
abundant and remunerative crops from the soil with
the most moderate expenditure. This of itself must
be an inestimable improvement. Then, again, the
extension of the blessings of free trade to those
islands and to British Guiana will eventuate in an
extraordinary incitement to the enterprise of the
planters and proprietors ; and, above all, the Legisla-
ture has removed those restrictions which have
hitherto prevented the importation of labourers fitted
by constitution to the tropical toil of the sugar plan-
tations. The West Indians will no longer ha►e
to send at enormous expense for ship loads of
Hill Coolies from Hindostan ; they will no
longer have to suffer from the incapacity of Eu-
ropeans to work among the sugar canes under the
broiling heat of a noonday sun. Now that the coast
of Africa is opened to their vessels, and that they are
permitted to afford employment to the negro popula-
tion on such terms as are suited to freemen, there can
exist no further sense of hardship among our colonists,
they will be unable to charge the mother country
with a selfish sacrifice of their social and commercial
interests. 'What, the West Indians will ask them-
selves, what good can be accomplished by their rupture
with Great Britain and their alliance with the United
States ?

The provisions of the new Act for the Prevention
of Crime and Outrage in Ireland are, probably, al-
ready brought into operation in some of the more
disturbed localities. A Privy Council was to have
been held yesterday for the purpose of deciding the
districts that should be proclaimed, and the addi-
tional police force that should be sent to the scenes of
disturbance. Most sincerely do we hope that these
proceedings may have the desired effect, and that
the Government may find that the moderate mea-
sure with which they were contented will prove
more effectual for the repression of crime
than more stringent enactments, involving a more
serious departure from the spirit of the constitution.
The recent accounts from different parts of the
country, unfortunately, afford additional proofs of the
absolute necessity for energetic and determined action
on the part of the authorities. Threatening letters
have been sent to many of those who have zealously
and efficiently discharged the duties incidental to their
position, who have resided on their estates and de-
voted their entire means to the improvement of the
condition of the people. In Roscommon, Lords
CROFTON and CLEMENTS have been obliged,
in consequence of threatenining notices, to
depart from the localities which through
their liberality were preserved from those
heartrending scenes of misery and destitution
which were unfortunately too prevalent in less
favoured districts. Lord CLEMENTS, who represented
the county Leitrim previous to the late dissolution,
had made himself rather remarkable in Parliament
for the active part he took in pressing the distress of
his country on the attention of the Government, and
for his resistance to the Coercion Bill brought for-
‘ward in 1846 by the Peel Ministry. He advocated
ultra-popular views, and it was supposed that he
would have been one of the last who would have in-
curred the animosity of any class of the
people. In private life he is a kind-hearted,
benevolent, and humane nobleman, who during
the famine supplied food at his own personal
expense to the destitute poor. An attempt on the
; life of another resident landlord, WILLIAM TALBOT,
Esq., has been made in the same county, a gun
having been snapped at him, which, happily, missed
fire. In Kildare, the Earl of Cx.olisser.. has received
similar notices, and, by a refinement of barbarity, a
letter was directed to the Countess, hoping more
easily to excite her fears. The Noble Lord has given
constant daily employment on his demesne to seventy-
, five labourers, besides maintaining a large establish-
went. In the Qaeen's County Sir CHARLES COOTS
and his agent have been served with Rockite notices,
while even the County Down—hitherto one of the
most tranquil and prosperous parts of Ireland—has
not escaped, the trustee and agent of the Annesley
estate having received intimations that they have in
curred the wrath of the midnight legislators.

We have mentioned but a very few of the many
instances with which the local journals of almost
every county are filled. There is, however, one
' case that demands especial attention, not merely
from the high character and admirable conduct of
the gentleman whose life and property have been
menaced, or from the determined courage he has
manifested in disregarding all attempts at intimida-
don, and remaining at his post still to benefit the
people, but because, it is said, that immediately pre-
vious to the:delivery of the notices he had been de-
nounced from the altar of the chapel at Newport, as
4n exterminating and tyrannical landlord. Sir
RICHARD A. O'DoNEL, since his accession to
the family title and estates, more than nineteen
years ago, has constantly resided on his property,
and deservedly obtained the character of one of the
best and most improving landlords in the kingdom.
No pains were ever spared to improve the condition
of his tenantry. The cultivation of flax was intro-
duced by him on his estate, and his exertions have
darned for him the thanks of the Society for the Pro-
motion and Improvement of the Growth of Flax.
Every encouragement was afforded to those who occu-
pied any portion of his lands, and his entire income
has ever been expended amongst them and for their
benefit. His example has been particularly valuable
during the past year; a vast amount of employment
was provided for the people, to several hun-
dreds of whom he gave work, every means
within his power was adopted to render their
situation more tolerable ; and, as an evidence
that he had not relaxed his efforts, we may mention
that he had just concluded an arrangement for the
loan of 12,000/. from the Government, for the further
improvement of his estates; and yet this is the gentle-
man whose name has been added to the black cata-

logue of victims, whose life is threatened by the as-
sassin, and whose property—the flax he has cultivated
with so much care, in order to provide additional oc-

cupation for the families resident on his estates—is to be
burned ; and in accordance with the new system these

notices were forwarded to Lady O'DoNEL. The

cowardly miscreants were, however, mistaken in their

man. Sir RICHARD despised their infamous threats,

and disregarded their menaces. lle assembled his
tenantry, gave th?m the most admirable advice, and

offered a reward of 10/. to the first man who should

arrest a Terry Alt. "We are suffering (said he)
from the calamity which in the; wisdom of GOD has
been inflicted on us. We have all passed through
the late affliction of last year, and a continuance of

t, and by the blessing of PXOVIDENCE, and the united

exertions of tenant and landlord, we will succeed.
Let us depend on ourselves and our own exertions,
and we will get over our difficulties ; let us but work

as men and not as unlawful combinators ; let us com-
mence to dig the land and prepare for seed time ;

et us help ourselves and each other, and the

ALMIGHTY will bless our efforts, and I trust we shall

Admiral Sir WILLIAM PARKER, and the Hon. Mr.
ABERCROMEIF, Minister of England at Turin, have
arrived at R

The celebrated CICEROACCHIO has placarded the
walls of the city with the following protest :
"PROTESTATION.-I, Angelo Brunetti, better
known as Ciceroacchio, find it necessary to announce
that I have no connexion with place bevars, and
cannot procure situations for needy persons. lam a
simple man, earning my bread for my family by
honest industry. I do not frequent antechambers or
the halls of great people. It is made known to me
that people are going about collecting money, by way
of tribute to me, as a man who ought to be supported
at the public expense. These men are impostors and
traffic on public credulity. My only wish is to do my
duty as a citizen, and to forward the interests of the
dwellers in the noblest land the sun ever shone upon—
the land of Pio Non. I"

A letter dated Rome, December the 11th, says—
" Discontent increases here and in the provinces on
account of the retrograde march of the Government.
Cardinal Ferretti retires, and we are assured that he
will be replaced by Cardinal Bernetti, Secretary of
State under Gregory XVI. Count P. Ferretti has
left Rome for Naples, and it is said that he will not
return here. The Consults sees the evil, but cannot
apply a remedy; it can only give its opinion on the
Bills which are presented to it. Thus far there:has
been no question of the fundamental laws. The affair
of the evacuation of Ferrara, which has been an-
nounced as terminated, appears to be once again de-
layed. General Radetski, commandant-in-chief of
the Austrian army in Italy, is opposed, it is said, to
the convention made between M. de Fiquelmont and
Count Bailly Ferretti. M. de Lutzow, Austrian
Ambassador, has sent a courier to Vienna, and it is li
not until after his return that we shall know what is
to be done on this subject."
By a decree of the 15th December, the Sardinian
Government has reduced the stamp duty on political
journals from sc. to 3c. This is considered a further
concession to liberal ideas. Journals which are ex-
clusively scientific and political will continue to enjoy
absolute exemption from the stamp duty, but all
notices, prospectuses, programmes, and bills distri-
buted to the public, must be stamped.
According to letters from Modena of the 12th inst.
the Dun was disposed to join the Italian Customs'
League, but on receipt of dispatches from Vienna, he
abruptly broke off the negotiations, and M. CORBOLI
Buss' departed for Rome.

We learn from Trieste that the Emperor of RUSSIA
has ordered the duties on imports from Austria to be
reduced to the same amount as is charged on Prussian
products.

The reply of the Government of Neufchatel to the
Swiss Diet relative to the fine imposed upon it by
that body for not having supplied its contingent of
troops to act against the Sonderbund, is thus given
by the Prussian papers—

" We have received the note you did us the honour
of addressing to us on the 11th instant, communi-
cating to us the resolution of the Diet of the same
day, which imposes upon our state, as a fine for
having refused its military contingent to the Confe-
deration to act against the Sonderbund, the payment
of a sum of 300,000 Swiss francs, in money or bills,
payable to the 20th December. We have the honour
to notify to you, in reply to your communication,
that after the counsel and unanimous resolution of our
legislative corporation, we are quite willing to pay the
fine in conformity with the aforesaid decree at the
time appointed.

(Signed) "THE GOVERNOR,
" PFUEL-FAVARGER, Sec
" Neufchatel, 14th December, 1847."

The Carlsruhe gazette of the lath gives the follow-
ing. Notwithstanding the announcement that the
news is from a source worthy of credit, we must be
permitted to express our doubts of it :

"During the manoeuvres at Winnica the Emperor
of Russia addressed the following words to his gene-
rals, What we are now doing is net a theory; in two
years I shall have led' this army into other countries
upon the field of glory It is even asserted that the
Emperor, addressing a General, said,' You, General,
shall command the avant-garde; I am no longer satis-
fied with my neighbours ; we must seek for other
allies.' These words were commented upon by the
generals, and General Orloff acknowledged that there
was some truth in the idea of differences with the
Prussian Cabinet, and of an intention 'to cultivate a
good understanding with France. What we state
comes from a source worthy of credit. It is a person
who was present who sends it."

The King of BAVARIA has issued a decree abolish-
ing the censorship of the press on all subjects of do-
mestic policy. It is only to exist as regards trans-
gressions of an existing penal law, and defamation of
private individuals. The censorship is, however, to
continue as to articles on foreign countries.
var.
Madrid papers of the 17th have arrived.

The motion of Senor SEGASTI for a return of the
payments made from the revenues of the Havannah
was rejected by a large majority, as might have been
expected, when it is remembered that had these re-
turns been produced, they would have shown that a
great portion of this revenue had found its way into
the pockets of Queen CHRISTINA, and another por-
tion had been wasted in endeavouring to purchase a
party in Mexico last year to proclaim the Duke of
ILIANZARES king of that country. It is also believed,
notwithstanding the unqualified assertions of Senor
MON to the contrary, that the expenses of the abor-
tive expedition of General FLORES were defrayed out
of these revenues.

It was rumoured by the Minister of Justice that
the Government would shortly submit to the Cortes
a project of law, for securing to the clergy a befitting
maintenance.

The Princess of ANGLONA, the Duchess of ALBA,
the Countess of PINO Itaamosa, and the Countess of
RETILLATEDO had been appointed ladies of honour to
the QUEEN.

We have received the Paris papers of Wednesday.
The Jorernal des Debate has a long article on the
subject of the recent mission of Sir Joint DAVIS to
Cochin-China, towards the close of which it alludes
to the interference of France in the affairs of that
country in 1774, when under pretence of supporting
a native Prince, who had been converted to Catho-
licity, and brought to France by a French Priest
named PIGNEAUX, the then French Government
sent out this said M. Plarszeux with an army to de-
throne the reigning SOVEREIGN, and to place this
protege of the priest on the throne, in return for
which the Prince conceded to France the sove-
reignty of the Bey of Touran. The Debuts
then goes on to state how the adherents of
this Catholic KING of Cochin -China were
expelled, and the old order of things restored, and
winds up with one of those marvellous tales of the
persecution of some French Catholic priests with
which the French Government is wont to
prelude any violent seizure of territory from
those with whom it can pick no other
cause of quarrel. Fortunately, Lord ABERDEEN
is not now at the head of the English Foreign-office.
Had he been Foreign Secretary we should ere this
have had the tragi-comedy of Otaheite acted over
again on a larger scale in Cochin-China.

There was a rumour on the Bourse on Wednesday
that King Louis PHILIPPE hsd been seized with a fit
of apoplexy, and this rumour obtained such general
credence that the Rentes fell in consequence. The
official answer of M. GUIZOT to the inquiries of the
Commissary of the Bourse on the subject was, that
the KING, with the exception of a slight cold, was in
his usual state of health.

Count MOLE is, it is said, a daily visitor at the
Tuileries.

On Wednesday M. GUIZOT had a long conference
with the Ambassadors of Austria, Russia, and
Prussia. It was then decided, it is said, to ad-
dress a joint note to the Swiss Diet without the par-
ticipation of England.

The Presse states that the Emperor of RUSSIA has
sent a large sum of gold to Hamburgh to be invested
in the new Belgian loan.

The merchants of Bordeaux, by the organ of a
special commission chosen from among its members,
recently addressed to the President of the Council a
letter, setting forth the present situation of the sugar
trade, and calling on the Government to take some
step to settle the question definitively, The follow-
ing is the reply of M. GUIZOT, dated Dec. 13 :
" Gentlemen,—l have read with all the attention
that it merits the statement which you have drawn
up relative to the sugar question. The Government
is fully aware of the importance of that question, as
well as of its difficulties. I am happy to find that
you render justice to the efforts which it has hitherto
made, unfortunately without effect, to settle the
matter in a sense favourable to the ge-

connived at or passed by with tacit acquiescence, may
be averted.

" Among the papers seized at the College of the
Jesuits, at Friburg, was a catalogue of the members
of the Society of Jesus, printed at Lyons in 1846 by
the Society itself, perhaps with the very presses
which have been the cause of a process still pending.
This catalogue, which has been published by a Swiss
journal, the Gazette de Berne, is therefore later by a
year than the negotiation of M. Rossi, than the de-
clarations of M. Guizot, and than the famous Note
published in the Moniteur of 6th July, 1845, thus
conceived : The Government has received intelli-

gence from Rome.: The negotiation with which
M. Rossi was charged has attaiued its object. The
community of the Jesuits will cease to exist in
France; it will dissolve itself; its convents will be
closed, and its noviciates dissolved.' Now the cats•
logue shows that the community has not ceased to
exist in France, that it has not dissolved itself, and
has not closed its noviciates, for it indicates the con-
ventP, the members, and the missions of the Jesuits
in the province of Lyons subsequent to this false de-
claration. Nay more—if we compare the personnel
of the order in the province of Lyons at the beginning
of the year 1846, with what it was at the beginning
of 1845, we find a considerable increase."

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was with-
out alteration. The sales amount to 4,000 bales, nearly
all American.
The Bank reduction of its minimum rate has had
scarcely any effect on the price of Public Secu-
rities to-day. We have had Consols at 85i for the
opening, and down subsequently to 84. They are
now called 84 to 851, but the market sluggish.
The dealings of the moining have been chiefly in
the heavy Stocks, but without any material alteration
of prices. The Three-and•a-Quarter per Cent:,
are 864 to ir, Reduced Threes 841 to 5. Ex-
chequer-bills rule higher at 9s. to 12s. premium.
As the holders will now enjoy the facilities of obtaining
advances upon them at the Bank of England, and at a
reduced rate, it is probable that the present prices of the
bills will be supported, if even they do not improve.
Our Foreign Market remains dull. Dutch Two-
at.d-a-Half per Cents. are called better at 56 to i, the
Fours at 85i to 1, Spanish Fives 18 to i ; the Threes
30 to k ; Mexican 171 to 181; Belgian, 88 to 91.

propositions which it has already laid before
the Chambers have not been favourably received,
it will not the less persevere in seeking
out such practical means as may be calculated to put
an end, or at least to afford some relief, to a situation
which very justly occupies your solicitude. I shall,
in consequence, be most happy to learn from you
what conclusions you may in the end arrive at ; and
although the question belongs more especially to the
attributions of the Ministers of Commerce and Fi-
nance, the advantages of a prompt solution are too
evident to my eyes for my department not to eagerly
co-operate in any investigations which may facilitate
that object."
