MORNING, JUNE 8, 1847.

free-trade principles by France. It is a homage .to
the truth, and a proof of the correctness of the
principle of our free traders, '11,4 the adoption of
free trade by England would tome other nations
either to becothe free-traders, or to cease to be
traders at all.

" We must admit (says the Journal des Debats) that the
adoption of free trade by Englaud influences neighbouring
nations, and France more than any other, to adopt the same
system. In fact, England, where the prices are high; is
about to Ipcome the receptacle of the overplus of all pro.
dining countries. It is -always to her that any
overplus will be sent, inasmuch as she pays better, and
is able to consume the whole. Thus the free trade in corn
in England is a guarantee against too great a tali in prices
in other markets. Still more, we believe that a part of the
grain from our north-western provinces will be cxported to
England. In that respect likewise we shall sutler a loss,
and as France on an average produces scarcely sufficient
grain for her coueumption, we must apply to foreign coun-
tries fora supply, and we must attract. t e,-in by eetablisl:ing
freedom of commerce, and not repel t em by the slit nig.
scale. With respect. to the stock of corn to be derived from
countries denominated productive, we must remark that we
experience much disappointment with respect to :he United
S;atis. We flatter d ourselves that the opening of the
Erie canal would bring a considerable quantity of e heat and
flour t.) New York, but as yet we have been dins; pinted.
We read in a circular issued by one of the most eiethent
houses in New York, Prime Ward and Co., (Wed loth of
May, that at Buffalo, which is the harbour of Lake Erie,
notwithstanding • the facilities afforded by the season to col-
lect large supplies—notwithstanding the attraction of Mich
prices in New York—notwithstanding it was known thst
several ships were waiting in that city to load corn for
Europe. there was but a trifling supply of wheat and flour
arrived. The boatmen on the canal who had assembled at
Buffalo in expectation of finding a good freight for New
York were offered a reduced price for heir labour. Wheat.
was quoted at a high price at New York ; and a barrel of
flour, which generally sells at 4 to 5 dollars, was worth 8
dollars. Thusahe experience of this year gives every day a
formal contradiction to all the fears manifested on the stinject
of the competition which might be raised against our agricul-
turists by toreign produce it it was admitted free into our mar-
kets. On the one hund,it has become evident that the quantity
to be drawn from countries termed productive is limited ; on the
other hand, it has been ascertained that when the markets
of' the great states of western Europe were brought into tree
communication with the productive countries, it was not our
price which was reduced to theirs, but theirs, on the contrary,
which was raised to ours. The experience of this year is,
therefore, perfectly conclusive in favour of the system of free
trade in provisions, but it demonstrates particularly that the
system by which we would endeavour to prevent that liberty
provisionally during the entire probable duration of the
scarcity, and to extend the same system of prohibition ge-
nerally to all articles of food, admits of no excnse."

The Committee of the Chamber of Deputies ap-
pointed to examine the project of law for renewing,
until the 31st of October, the authorization to import
freely into France all sorts of grain, had, with the
consent of the Government, extended it until the 31st
of January, 1848.
The report of the recal of Marshal BUGBAXD from
Algiers is confirmed.
The Duke of MONTEBELLO took the oaths of knee
as Minister of Marine on the 3d instant.

General Don JOAQUIN JULIAN DE ALZAA, whose
arrest has been mentioned, has been sent, by order of
Government, to Litnoges, where he is to reside.
We find the following in the Courrier du Havre :

"According to information, which comes from a sure
source, the Committee charged with the examination of' the
Cusroins' Bill has been struck, like every one in ,the com •
mercial world, with the insignificance of that work, and
not being willing to join in a measure without effect for the
shipping inter•ist, has, on the proposition of one of its
members, whom we are assured is M. Thiers, adopted
almost unanimously the following series of measures:-
1. A reducti nin the duty on coffee. 2. A reduction in the
duty on all kinds of sugar, indigenous and cols ni:11. 3. A
reduction on the over-tax on foreign sugar; and 4. The
establishment of a duty on English copper ore, in order to
encourage that coming from South America. In support of
these propositions, M. Thiers, e are informed, dwmonstrated
the necessity of doing something worth speaking of for the
seaports and the merchant shipping, the basis of tke state
navy; in fact, the adopti,in of these measures w9uld give
nearly 80,000 tons of freight to our vessels trading to a
distance, employing 200 vessels of 400 tons each. The Com-
mittee, by a msjority of 7 to 2, requested M. Titters to draw
up the report; but M. Thiess, for private considerations,
declined that honourable task, promising, however, to defend
with energy in the tribune the views of the donnuittee.
The report will be presented this session, to be discussed in
January."

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
(From The Sun of Last Night.) •
The Cotton-market. at Liverpool on Saturday was firm.
Sales, 3,000 bales. American, 2,500 bales, realised 6d. to
7%d. per lb.; and Surat, 4d. to 4%d. per lb. Railway shares
were firm, with a tendency to advance. Heavy stock was
in good demand.
Wheat is up Bs., per quarter, some say more, in Mark-lane
this morning. The quantity brought to market is small, and
such of the holders of home grown as are known to have
large quantities in hand still evince a determination to defer
sales.
Later accounts have come to hand from the Cape
of Good Hope, viz., to April 6. There had
been no fighting on the frontier up to the latest date; but at
Natal Umzlinculu had been defeated with decided loss. by
the settlers. The plan for the campaign against the Kafirs
was evidently being laid in a very business like and steady
manner, so as to strike the ettemv. when we do begin, with a
due sense of our power and resources.
There were cotnllaints of the scarcity of money at Cape
Town, and the Governor had been requested to penile.
cominisAariat drafts to circulate as a legal tender. His Excel-
lency declined, however, and stated that specie would no
doubt sh -ile received out.
A failure which has occurred in the sugar trade is not
expected seriously to affect. other parties, because, although
the dtbts are between 40,0001. and 50,0001., the assets will
cover nearly the whole amount.
The following is a satisiactory statement from Aria's Bit-
ininyhant Gazette, upon the subject of the iroa trade :T.
" tieu...iLi imp,ovement will necessarily have im-
mediate effect (item the iron trade than many others, y t it
has participated so slightlyin the general depression, that. its
interests will not remain unbeeetited. Prices have all along
been well maintained, and if the ironmaster's capital has not
realised so liberal a per centage of pi otit as formerly, and, a,
in the opinion of some, might again have been obtained at the
close of the last veer, still a steady remuneration has
been returned through the increased quantity of business d
and the punctuaity with which pas ment has been obtained.
Thus provided with the means of meeting present neees,it tea,
and influenced by the better tone of feeling in the com-
mercial world, as well as the encouraging prospect of fur-
ther improvement, few would be found dispated to undersell,
even should the briskness of demand be suspended till
the renewed activity in railway enterprise again calls
forth the full energies of the trade. But it; on the
other hand, any considerations of our relationship with other
countries and the state of foreign competition, should force
upon us the policy of a temporary reduction, the low prices
of provisions which will follow an abundant harvest will
aflord ha opportunity for such an equitable adjustment of
wages as would ultheately prove rather bensflcial than other-
wise to the interests of the trade, and might be establieed
without exciting bitterness of feeling among the work-
men, or distress in their families. The limestone getters,
who were standing for an advance, as we ventured to predict,
have already seen the unreasonableness of their conduct, and
have returned to their work. The arrival of ord:trs has not
varied much during the last month, and sufficteiit are now
on the books, and on hand at almost every work, to ate rd
full employment for a longer period than is generally the
case at this season. A rumour had reached us that the
chain-makers in the neighbourhood of Dudley and Stour-
bridge are endeavouring to enforce higher wages; but an
understanding has been entered into between their masters
and the merchants that their demand, shall be resisted—the
wages now given being more than thirty per cent. higher
than they were a short time since."
There-has teen a flatter market for Consols this morning,
as usual, when corn takes an upward course. The business
done has not been large, but prices range about % per cent.
lower than on Saturday, and there have been a few money
sales. Consols for transfer have realised 88% to 87%, and
for July 88% %. Exchequer-bills have been 6s, to 44. pr-
emium, being firmer. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per
Cents. have been marked 88% %, and the Three per Cents.
86% to 87. East India Bonds have been 3s. premium for
those of I,ooa.
In the Foreign House transactions have been again very
limited. Spanish Five per Cents have been 22 to 21:re and
the Three per Cents. 33% 14. Portuguese Four per Cents.
have been quoted 32. Grenada Bonds were at 19%, and
Venezuela. 38%, Russian Stock brought 111 ,• Belgian Two-
and-a-Half per Cents. were 52%; and Dutch Four per
Cents., 89%.
The business done in Railway Shares has been limited, and
prices have gone back a little with the funds, although sellers
du not press upon the market.

The leiforme'has the following on the subject of
French intervention in Portugal. " What," it asks,
" Was the result of the French intervention in Spain?
What did it found, maintain, or protect in the country?
The monster it era- intended to defend was enabled to glut
at bis will the blood of the noblest victims. Riego was
dragged to the scaffold in a basket. The most generous pa-
triots were offered as holocausts to the Royal hy. ofi. To
this very moment Spain is a prey to factions; revolutionary
ideas are still all powerful, and Royalty is more feeble, mote
degraded, and more detestei than it was u 1823. What the
restoration achieved in Spain the juste milieu is anxious to
repeat in Portugal. We will not charge M. Guizot with be
traying the dynasty be serves and driving it to its ruin.
That is there own look out. But, being attentive spectators
of events which crowd upon us, we find the history of the
future written beforehand in that of the past. and, instead of
seeking to predict, we contioe ourselves to narra•:e. When
foreigners attempted to interfere in the intestine struggles of
France, their intervention was fatal to royalty. When French
royalty intervened in the intestine struggles of Spain it lost
itself. The road to Madrid brought Charles X, to Cherbeurg.
Has M. Guizot inquired whither leads the road to Lisbon ?'

SURICP.,--BELGIUM. MAY 30.—A most fearful thundm •
storm visited tee COMMUIIe of Surice and its environs or.
the 29 h, at 5 o'elcck in the evening. Masses of dyes,
clouds • travereed the bore et fren west to east, with
astouishing rapidity, accumiteee.d by vielent claps w
;launder. which seemed to rend the neavens, and vivid
flashes of lightning darted across the sky, suddenly al
wes soil, which cawed the great( st alarm among the in
habitants, when ateeit half pest ix, torrente 01 rain ae
completely inundated Surice and its environs that it was
literally converted into, a vast lake, The wind was s,
fearfully high that many a, the largest tiers were up
rooted, the houses were unroofed, aid every window
broken, and enoerrous masses eud large branches el
trees were carried througla the air. Such was the vio-
lence of the wind, that it even cuinpell,d the carriage-
al tog the streets, the losses sir,tained in the country e.
immense..
,Tee crops have :mitered exceedingly. Seve
ral places were completely deetroy, d, and the fine pro
wising wardens are converted into !eine. 'these revagi
seem the more deplorable at the very moment when ail
are linking forwent to an abundent tartest. The cot'
sternteion of the inhabiter', s is very great, and et et
those who are little acenstornael to recognise the soveleig
power of Ged are humfaling themselves in prayer.

BRUSSELS. JUNE 4.—At th., Antwerp market this
.day, while there is a general tali in all the markets it,
the country, scone. speculators sin er.d the report that
the stock of corn in the hands of our farmer:, was almost
exhausted, in order to maintain the high prie,s. Their
objet was however frustrate4i ; as the falsity of the
report was but, too evident. Every week brings us in-
creasing supplies of con), and on tifft day, our nntiket
were even better stocked than heretofore. Rye, csre
cially, was more abundant than it hies been for a who!,
year, prices did nit however fluctuate much. Wheat
was sold by the sack at 32 10 per hectolitre, and rye a:
23 to 25. There was a good supply of oats which fel
50 cents. per hectolitre. Everything that was effeeed for
sale found ready purchasers. As new crop of PotiL•
toes is now brought in increasing large q to
market, there is a decrease in the supply of the old
stock, which has, in consequence, risen about a franc per
sack. The price of butter fell 9 OA' hitt'es.
DORDRECHT, JUNE 3.—The fat ie other markets ha,
