LONDIIN, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1847.

Tery exaggerated rumours are prevalent in the
United States as to the mercantile movement now
observable in our West Indian possessions. It is
conceived by some of the American journals that the
doom of our colonial interests in that beautiful archi-
pelago is at length sealed, and that Jamaica, Trinidad,
and Guiana itself will very speedily effect their sepa-
ration from the mother country, in the hope of re-
alising certain republican predilections, and of securing
their commercial prosperity as well as their political
independence. Nay, the anticipations of our contem-
poraries across the Atlantic are not restricted to the
British dominions in the West Indies, they anticipate
a similar declaration on the part of Cuba—the
Virgin of the Antilles—and look forward even to the
period when Canada, as well as Mexico, shall be
" enfolded in the arms of the Union." Surely
the cause of all these auguries and predic-
tions is sufficiently manifest ; the motive in which
they have originated is transparent. Everything has
evinced of late the greed of the United States for
territorial aggrandizement. The history of the
model republic is little better than the narrative of a
succession of flagrant and most unjustifiable spolia-
tions. Its avarice has advanced—gradually--south-
wards. The most enormous act of annexation was,
until the invasion of Mexico, the annexation of
Texas ; since then, however, California has been
seized, and the brave soldiers of Washington marched
iato the very citadel of the Montezumas. Nothing
has retarded this unprincipled ambition of the Ame-
ricans, stimulated as it has been by the equally
unprincipled connivance of Mr. President POLE. It
has premed onwards from the Rio Grande to Mon-
terey, from the quays of Vera Cruz to the battle-
ments of the republican capital. It has triumphed
while throwing bombs and rockets into streets where
the majority of the victims of destruction were
women and children. It has signalized its victories
in the land of which COUTES was the first conqueror,
by hanging the mercenaries of RILEY in a batch—on
a row of gallows—in cold blood. Knowing these
things, it is anything but surprising that the lust of
dominion should extend beyond the shores of the
continent, and while hungering for the subjugation
of Canada in one direction, and of Mexico in another,
should yearn for the capture of Cuba, and Trinidad,
and Jamaica, and Barbadoes, and the rest of the
West Indian Archipelago.
Never were anticipations more premature ; never
were predictions more ill-timed and inappropriate.
Immeasurably more has just been done by the Su-
premean
Government forlhe retention of those colonies,
d for
securing the gratitude and obedience of their
inhabitants, than has been recently accomplished for
any other of our remote possessions. Hitherto the
proprietorsin our West Indian Islands were cramped
into a condition very nearly approximating to that of
pauperism by the evil influences of three egregious
and gigantic blunders. They were afflicted
with penury, moreover, by iese
three things,
while their estates were situated in one of
the
h
most kuitful regions on the surface of
globe. These three causes of their calamitte°
s
were :—I. The impossibility of obtaining labourers
sufficient to cultivate the plantations. 11. The
villanous :system of Protection, as applied to them-
selves—namely, the necessity, which was forced upon
them as a boon (as a boon, forsooth!), of having the
monopoly of the English markets, when they were
unable to supply anything like the amount demanded
by the consumption of Great Britain. 111. The ex-
pensive system of agriculture adopted by the planters,
a system which squandered the largest capitals, with
a certainty of resulting in the least possible returns.
Such has been the mercantile Cerberus, the triple-
headed monster which has destroyed the energies and
misdirected the fertility of our islands in the Gulf of

Mexico. Now, however, the case has been rendered
altogether different. Efforts have been made by the
Colonial part of the present Administration, underithe
able and_ vigilant superintendence of Earl GREY—
not to lull ouster by throwing it a sop, like
/ENEAS, but gle it ottright,,and relieve those
colonies from a protracted incubus'-Efforts of this
character have been made, and efforts so peculiarly
er,ergetic, that they must ultimately prove success-
ful. An economical system of cultivation will before
long be introduced into oar 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 have
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 CLONMEL 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-
ment. In the Queen's County Sir CHARLES CooTE
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-
tion, 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
an 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
earned 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 12,0001. 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 Ricsenn despised their infamous threats,
and disregarded their menaces. He assembled his
tenantry, gave them the most admirable advice, and
offered a reward of 101. 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
it, and by the blessing of PROVIDENCE, 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
ibut work
as men and not as unlawful combinators ; let us com-
mence to dig the land and prepare for seed time ;
let us help ourselves and each other, and the
ALMIGHTY will bless our efforts, and I trust we shall
be better off next year than at present. I give
you this advice as a friend, but do not
suppose that I care for these marked
notices. I tell you again I don't care for
their threats ; they shall not deter me from the pur-
suit of my duties and my business by day and by
night ; and no threats, nor " Molly Maguire" notes,
shall drive me from this place or this country. No,
my friends, I am determined to remain with you, and
help you, if I can." It is unnecessary to comment
upon this admirable conduct. Sir RICHARD O'DONEL

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

The celcbrated CICEUOACCHIO 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 beggars, 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 experise. 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. !"

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
gill 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 Consulta 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 Radetzki, 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
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 Bc. 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.
Accor3ing to letters from Modena of the 12th inst.
the DUKE was disposed to join the Italian Customs'
League, but on receipt of dispatches from Vienna, he
abruptly broke off the negotiations, and M. COEBOLI
Busse 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 acL 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 Gazelle of the 18th 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 ledl this army into other countries
upon the field of glory I' 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 d&-Carnation of
private individuals. The censorship is, however, to
continue as to articles on foreign countries.

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 CURISTINA, and another por-
tion had been wasted in endeavouring to purchase a
party in Mexico last year to proclaim the Duke of
RIANWIES king of that country. It is also believed,
notwithstanding the unqualified assertions of Senor
Mori 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 Amu,
the Countess of Pixo HERMOSA, and the Countess of
REVILLAYEDO had been appointed ladies of honour to
the QUEEN.

We have received the Paris papers of Wednesday.

The Journal des Debuts has a long article on the
subject of the recent mission of Sir Jour/ 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. PIGNEAUX 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 Debate
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 A➢ERDEEN
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 Otuheite acted over
again on a larger scale in Cochin-China.

There was a rumour on the Bourse on Wednesday
that King Louis PHILIPPE had 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 Preme states that the Emperor of RUSSIA has
sent a large sum of gold to Hambnrgh 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, an&calling on the Government to take some
step to settle the question definitively, The follow-
ing is tho 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- 1

neral interests of to country. Although the
' propositions which t has already laid before
the Chambers have at been favourably received,
it will not the ess persevere in seeking
out such practical mess as may be calculated to put
an end, or at least to ford some relief, to a situation
which very justly occpies your solicitude. I shall,
in consequence, be rest happy to learn from you
what conclusions you lay in the end arrive at ; and
although the question elongs more especially to the
attributions of the Misters of Commerce and Fi-
nance, the advantages)f a prompt solution are too
evident to my eyes fotey department not to eagerly
co-operate in any invstigations which may facilitate
that object."
We /had the followir; in the Constitutionnel :
" Among the paperBeized at the College of the
Jesuits, at Friburg, W 4 a catalogue of the members
of the Society of Jest; printed at Lyons in 1846 by
the Society itself, prhaps with the very presses
which have been the cuse of a process still pending.
This catalogue, whicltas been published by a Swiss
journal, the Gazette dßerne, is therefore later by a
year than the negotiabn of M. Rossi, than the de-
clarations of M. Guist, and than the famous Note
published in the Moiteur of 6th July, 1845, thus
conceived The Goernment has received intelli-
gence from Rome. the negotiation with which
M. Rossi was chargedlaa attained its object. The
community of the Jeuits will cease to exist in
France; it will dissoba itself; its convents will be
closed, and its noviciats dissolved.' Now the cata-
logue shows that the ommunity has not ceased to
exist in France, that ii has not dissolved itself, and
has not closed its novixates, for it indicates the con-
vents, the members, an. the missions of the Jesuits
in the province of Lyot subsequent to this false de-
claration. Nay more—if we compare the personnel
of the order in the proviice of Lyons at the beginning
of the year 1846, with ,hat it was at the beginning
of 1845, we find a consderable 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 seduction of its minimum rate has had
scarcely any effect on the price of Public Secu-
rities to-day. We have had Consols at 85f for the
opening, and down subsequently to 85j. They are
now called 85k to 85k, but the market sluggish.
The dealings of the morning have been chiefly in
the heavy Stocks,
.but without any material alteration
of prices. The Three-and•a-Quarter per Cents.
are 86-4 to k, Reduced Threes 9442. to 5. Ex-
chequer-bills rale higher at Ds. 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 supportedoif even they do not improve.
Our Foreign Market remains dull. Dutch Two-
and-a-Half per Cents. are called better at 56 to it, the
Fours at 851 toe. Spanish Fives 1$ to I ; the Threes
30 to k ; Mexican 171 to Belgian, 88 to 91.
