LONDON, TUESDAY. AUGUST 10, 1847.

Mexican Presidency from the very moderate councils
of Mr. President Pour.. Heartily as we loathe
bloodshed, we should feel immeasurably chagrined in
the event of these monstrous propositions being ac-
cepted. More insolent proposals were never for-
warded to a fallen Cabinet by a conquering
power than those which are said to have been dis-
patched to the Congress of Mexico by the Congress of
the United States. Peace is proffered, it would
seem, to the Mexicans in the event of their conceding
to America the possession of Upper California; and
three millions of dollars are guaranteed, in like man-
ner, on the understanding that the line of the Rio
Grande be henceforth regarded as the boundary between
the two republics. These magnanimous proposals, be it
remembered, are made by the United States with
their armies still in a most precarious position, and
with a vivid recollection of the annexation of Texas
still rankling in the memory of Mexico. Even
when General TAYLOR himself—the most re-
doubtable ZACHARY !—is still shivering behind
the battlements of Monterey, appalled during six
months at the mere notion of an advance upon San
Luis Potosi—these impudent propositions are sent
to the capital city under the safe conduct of Mr.
Plenipotentiary TEIsT. hile the grass grows
luxuriantly under the hoofs of the American cavalry
the audacity of the American Government thrives
even beyond our anticipations.
Suppose for a moment that the proffered treaty
were formally signed by the contracting parties at
Washington and Mexico, what, we ask, would be the
advantage accruing therefrom to the latter ?
Merely a respite to its troubles. Merely a
delay of the time of its final dismember-
ment. Can any sane observer look upon the
matter under a different aspect ? It is impossible.
L The experience afforded us by the negotiations
for Texas, and the negotiations for Oregon, is
surely sufficient to prove that the hungering of
the United States for territory is altogether insatiable.
After Texas they yearn for California; after Cali-
fornia they will long for Upper Mexico; and ulti-
mately their anxieties will extend to the capture of
the residue of the Aztec empire. Such are the bold
and unprincipled opponents who are leagued against
SANTA ANNA and his countrymen both in the
council-chamber and on the battle-field.

to erase from the statute-book those obsolete laws im-
posing pains and penalties on the professors of the
Roman Catholic religion, has been rejected, and Mr.
GUINNESS, a very respectable land agent, but a deter-
mined opponent of further reforms and additional
concessions to popular privileges, has been elected
in his place, and that by a constituency numbering
many Roman Catholics amongst its members.

Madrid papers of the 3d have arrived.
The directors of the Union Bank have petitioned
the Minister of Finance to rescind the contract for
the loan of one hundred millions of reals in Treasury
bonds.

A decree abolishing all inland Custom-houses is
published in the Gaceta.

We have received the Paris papers of Sunday.
The ex-Consul of France at the Mauritius, M.
BARBET DE Jour, has arrived at Marseilles.
The Belle Poule, from the Island of Bourbon, has
arrived 'at Toulon, where the Zenobie frigate was
launched on the 29th ult.

The Chamber of Peers on Saturday passed the Bill
authorising the Finance Minister to contract a loan
of 350,000,000 f., and also voted the budget of re-
ceipts.

Belfast has nobly discharged its duty, notwith-
standing the vast local influence of the Conservative
candidates, their firm coalition, and their attempt to
convert the capital of the province of Ulster—the
third town in Ireland, in point of population, the
chief in commercial activity and intelligence—into a
pocket borough. Mr. ROBERT JAMES TENNENT, the
independent Whig claimant for the suffrages of his
fellow-townsmen, has been elected by a glorious
majority of 260 over Mr. SUFFERIN, and headed the
poll by no less than 110 over Lord JOHN
CHICHESTER. From this result it is apparent that,
had the Liberals been aware of their real strength,
they could easily have returned a second representa-
tive. In fact, sufficient account had not been taken
of the vast enlightenment of recent date, and the
progress of public opinion in favour of the great
doctrines of free trade. It has been too often erro-
neously conceived that, because men were the supporters
of monopoly some few years since,because they were
then imbued with the principles of that which has
been falsely termed protection to native industry,
that the scales still remained before their sight, and
that they remained in ignorance of the great truths
that have been disseminated throughout the length
and breadth of the land. Had it been otherwise the
full independence of Belfast would now have been
attained, and her just influence would not have been
neutralized in the Senate by the return of Members
of opposite politics, who will balance each other on
every important political question. We must, how-
ever, feel grateful to the honest electors of Belfast
who recorded their votes in favour of Mr. TENNENT,
and who would have achieved a still greater triumph
had the opportunity been afforded them.
The extraordinary result of the election for the
city of Dublin, and the return of Mr. JOHN
REYNOLDS for the metropolis, proves that a
similar error as to the real strength of parties existed
there also. The Tory candidates reposed in blissful
security, feeling certain that they would be permitted
to walk over the course. Even their addresses, it is
said, were withdrawn from the public journals ten
days before the election, in order to save every ex-
pense; and there was great apparent cause for the
opinion. Jour; O'CoNNELL, the acknowledged leader
of the moral-force Repealers, had been put forward as
a candidate, but after a time had withdrawn from the
contest, being deterred, as he alleged, by the
enormous amount of the legal expenses of the election,
but, as it was more generally believed, because
success was supposed to be unattainable. In-
deed every probability is in favour of the
latter reason. It is well known what importance the
deceased Liberator attached to the representation of
the Irish metropolis. Although he might be said
to have the choice of constituencies—many of which
contended for the honour of being represented by
him; although he had sat in turn for the counties of
Clare, Waterford, and Kerry—any of which would
have unhesitatingly returned him without opposition
—he preferred to sit for Dublin, which, on every
occasion, involved a doubtful and expensive contest;
and it was not until defeated in 1841, by WEST and
GROG AN, that he offered himself for the suffrages of
the electors of the Yorkshire of Ireland. It can
scarcely, therefore, be credited that, if it was sup-
posed that any reasonable prospect of success existed,
the funds would not have been easily procurable. But,
in truth, the large majority for the Tories in 1841,
and the still more decisive majority by which the
" quarter-acre clause " hero had defeated the amiable
and accomplished nobleman, now the representative
for the West Riding of Yorkshire, who, during his
tenure of office in Ireland, had earned golden opinions
from persons of every shade and variety cf political
feeling; and the subsequent registration returns, under
which a considerable increase of strength was claimed
by the Conservatives, deprived the Liberals of every
hope. Hence his withdrawal, and hence the refusal
of Mr. ROE, Mr. FAGAN, and others, to come forward,
who possessed undoubted claims to the confidence of
a Liberal constituency, and who, by position and cha-
racter, would have been fitting representatives for the
chief city of Ireland. It was not until the eleventh

The absurdity of any attempt on the part of Go-
vernments to interfere with private enterprise, under
the pretence of securing an adequate supply of pro-
visions , for the people (which interference, by the
bye, is only another phase of the exploded doctrine of
Protection), has just received another illustration in
the good city of Paris. The bakers of Paris are com-
pelled to have a certain quantity of flour in reserved
granaries under the control of the Prefect of Police,
and that worthy functionary refuses to allow the
bakers to make use of it. The consequences of this
meddliig policy are thus described by the Presse :

"On the 26th of last month the official quotation
stated the price of a quintal of flour in the Paris market
to be 54f. 35c. (2/. 3s. British). Since that period the
price has bees increasing in place of diminishing, and
it exceeded 58f. on last Friday (being a rise of 33.) The
price of bread must consequently be raised on the 15th
instant, and the inhabitants of Paris must expect to be
compelled to make severe sacrifices, which might have
been easily spared them were it not for a caprice of the
Prefect of Police, who refuses to allow the bakers to
make use of the flour in the reserved granaries of Paris,
equivalent to a supply of twenty days for the capital.
The Paris market contains at present sufficient flour for
only one day's consumption. The holders of grain
consequently can impose their own conditions, and no
doubt they will be severe. In truth, the great func-
tionaries of the State are not fortunate when they meddle
with questions connected with the supply of food for the
Metropolis."

The writer might have aided that no state func-
tionaries are ever fortunate when they attempt to
regulate the supply of any commodities whatever.
During the last thirteen years 276 crosses of the
Legion of Honour have been distributed among M.
GIIIZOT'S constituents at Lisieux. Red ribbon must
be at a premium in that little town where now the dis-
tinction is not to be decorated.

The Gazette des Tribunaux announces the arrest of
a noted shoplifter, named ISAAC LEVY, who, in corn..
pany with a girl named BLUM, has been recently
making a professional tour through Prussia, Holland.
and England. A search was made at the house of
BLUM, and a great deal of valuable property was re-
covered. It consists of silks, lace, rings, brooches,
bracelets, chains, valuable watches, and other articles
of jewellery. Among the watches is one of great
value, marked Franck, Royal Exchange, London,
No. 8,243. There has also been found among the
stolen property an oblong gold chased snuff-box,
marken S. B. A. 8., and a watch engraved with the
initials D. F., and marked Aubert a Geneve, No.
20,187, and another by the same maker, marked

Mexico is not less precariously situated in regard
tethe integrity of its territories than Rome ; and it
isa-curious coincidence that the liberties and domi•
nions of two nations, situated the one in the
centre of the eastern hemisphere, and the other in the
centre of the western hemisphere, are threatened
simultaneoualy. A republican Government and a
despotic Government are rivalling each other by
violating the natural rights of man, and by betray-
ing to the world a spectacle of the most lawless
spoliation, and the most ruthless indifference to the
welfare of their neighbours. METTERNICH and
POLK have been the evil geniuses of these two Go-
vernments. The annexation of Texas and the incor-
P°ration of Cracow have been the infamous fruits of
their unconscientious policy—a policy subversive
alike of good faith and of international confidence.
Whether these two wily statesmen were solici-
tous at the very commencement of their administra-
fioOff to associate their names with the territorial
aggrandisement of Austria and the United States,
or whether they were merely anxious to confirm the
influence already exercised by the Cabinets of
Washington and Vienna, it is most certain that they
have realised bart-fliole aspirations ; but in realising
th ail they have-rradered their own names, and those
of their respective countries, the opprobrium and ab-
horrence of every civilised race.
The isolated republicanism of the Cracovians has
not been more effectually sacrificed to the lust of
Austrian absolutism, than has
by
the the independence
of Texas been
dissipated
of the American presidency.
Both of
of these
unfortunate states have fallen before
the
power of their more gigantic assailants,
both
of them have been absorbed in the vastness
the adjacent dominions. So far, therefore, the f
en-
croachments effected under the auspices of PoLa
and MKTTEKNICLI have proved eminently successful.
Their guile has, however, only increased with
the happy result of their diplomatic robberies. In
one direction it has extended from the suppression of
Cracow, as a miniature republic, to the virtual subju-
gation of the whole of Italy, as a peninsula stirred to
its very womb with the throes of liberty. In
another direction it advances from the seizure of
Texas to the conquest of California. At Rome the
whole population is rallying round Pope Pius for the
defence and preservation of their national existence.
At Mexico, President SANTA ANNA is striving to
rally his fellow-citizens round the standard of their
common land. With the rest of thef.ree people of
the earth there is a generous sympathy
A in the cause
of which Pius and SANTA
repre-
sentatives. For the salvation are the
RoNfoNmAtexi.can indepen-
dence, and the realisation of udder nde n ce,
the liberal nations of the globe are filled with
a pro-
found solicitude ; and the patriotism already evinced
by both the distinguished leaders of Rome ,
Mexico have elicited for them the " GOD
speed and
every true lover of popular emancipation.

JENNY LIND.—The sale of tickets for Made-
moisdle Lind's concert, on the 15th of September, has

hour that Mr. JOHN REYNOLDS offered himself,
and then his principal intention was, as he
himself expressed it, "to occasion an increased
distribution of the circulating medium, and t
. make Messrs. GRooax and GREGORY pay outa
the cash." Perhaps no one was more surprised at his
unexpected success than the Hon. Gentleman him-
self. In fact, it could not possibly be accounted for,
save by the extraordinary progress of Liberal opinions
and the general departure from the ultra-Tory doc-
trines.
In Carlow, although the gentleman who has super-
seded the former Member professes the same political
principles, and there is neither gain or lose to the
Liberal party by his return, it is with the deepest
regret that we have witnessed the rejection of Major
LAYARD, who bad during his Parliamentary career
discharged the duties confided to him with real
ability and consistency. The zeal and energy

AFRICAN SPECIMENS FOR HER MAJESTY.—A
package has recently arrived at Bristol, directed to the

from the west coast of Africa. The package has been
forwarded to the Colonial-office from the port mentioned,
and is understood to contain an African club, cap, and
some other articles of a similar character, for presenta-
tion to her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen.
OPENING OF THE MODEL LODGING-HOUSE, ST.
GlLES'S.—Yesterday the society for the improvement of
the condition of the labouring classes opened their new
model lodging-house in George-street, St. Giles's, which
they have just completed, at a cost of 5,0001. It is ex-
clusively intended to accommodate single men of the
working class. The building covers an area of about
2,000 square feet, and is six stories from the basement ;
the ground floor is partly occupied by the manager, and
the remainder fitted as a living room for the use of the
lodgers, having tables and settees similar to a coffee-
house, with crockery and cooking utensils. The upper
floors are divided into eight dormitories, each separated
by wainscot seven feet high into thirteen separate berths,
each berth furnished with decent furniture. The entire
building is thoroughly ventilated, and lighted throughout
with gas, the common staircase being fire-proof. The
total number that can be accommodated is 104, each
paying 4d. per night, or 2s. per week. It is intended to
fit the basement with baths, and provide a library for
the use of the inmates.

SUPPOSED INCENDIARISM.-ANDOVER, AUG, 7,-.
This morning, about five o'clock, a fire broke out in the
rick-yard of Mr. Thomas Tubb, a large farmer of Ne-
therton, three miles from Hurstbourne Tarrant, by which
a rick, containing at least ten tons of straw, was entirely
consumed. A barn, wherein is seventy quarters of wheat,
two large hay-ricks, another straw-rick, the dwelling.
house, stables, hovels, granary, &c., were saved, though
several times in imminent danger. Fortunately, the
rain of the previous night tended to allay the flames.
The Sun Fire-office engine, from Andover, arrived as
expeditiously as possible, as also the engine from Aura-
bourne. Mr. Van Santen, superintendent of the An-
dover police, with three of his men, and people from the
neighbourhood, were also there; and their combined
efforts saved the whole property from destruction. It is
the opinion of Mr. Tubb and others present at the fire
that the straw-stack had been set purposely on fire, yet
at present nothing has come to light likely to fix the
blame
and punishment on the guilty party.

PORTUGUESE PRODUCE.—The vessel Bridget,
rived from Lisbon, has brought, in addition to a large!
quantity of lemons, 236 quarters of Indian corn, 14€
boxes of onions, and the large quantity of 139 boxes and
276 barrels of potatoes, of Portuguese production.

THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 10, 1847.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was quiet,
without any change in prices. The sales included 4,000
bales of American at 64d. to 7jd. per lb., and a few
hundred bales of Surat at 41d. to 51d. per lb.—Railway
Shares were in very little demand, and again lower.
There are no later arrivals in the City to-day, but the
correspondence received yesterday from the United
States is sufficient to occupy attention yet awhile, and
much curiosity is expressed to ascertain the tenor of
the next accotnts, expected on Friday, especially in re-
ference to the state of the exchange, which up to the
24th ult., was still declining. Indeed, in the face of
such enormous exports of grain, we can hardly see how
it can be otherwise.

The Money Market feels the effect of the commercial
embarrassments existing and apprehended, and in the
Oolotiial Markets the business is confined almost exclu-
sively to transactions for immediate consumption. The
weather is anxiously watched also, but is believed to be
auspicious up to the present time.

There has been an impression in some quarters that
the arrangements for the French loan are already partly
concluded.

The Stock Market has been firmer to• day, and there
is a rally in the quotations of fairly per cent. Con-
sols have been 86k to 87 for transfer, and 86i. to 87f for
account; - The Bears have, in some instances, been
closing accounts. Exchequer-bills have been marked
2s. discount to 2s. premium; New Three-and-a-Quarter
per Cents. 88k to 89. Bank Stock is firmer at 196.
The Foreign Investments have been dull again, but
have a firmer tone. Portuguese Four per Cents. have
been quoted 29, and the Three per Cents. 31k ; Mexican
Stock has been at 171; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents.
have rallied to 56 and 56k.
In Railway Shares the dealings have been also, in
many instances, at improved values. The Brighton
Railway meeting is now being held, and the traffic state-
ment is certainly unfavourable, although the directors
anticipate an improvement. The dividend is but 2 per
cent. for the half-year, a falling off which the direc-
tors attribute to the derangement in trading and mone-
tary affairs.

FREE PORT ON THE WESER.
Office of Committee of Privy Council for Trade,
Whitehall, 9th August, 1847.
Sir,—l am directed by the Lords of the Committee of
Privy Council for Trade, to acquaint you, for the infor-
mation of the committee for managing the affairs of
Lloyd's, that it appears, from a dispatch which has been
received from her Majesty's Minister at Hanover, that
the rights and privileges of a free port have been accorded
to a district on the Weser, where the small stream, the
Geeste, runs into that river. This port is very near
Bremer haven, the place where all vessels of heavy bur-
den bound to Bremer are obliged to bring up.
The Hanoverian Government aro also deepening the
water at and in the approaches to Ilarbourg, and it is
believed with the intention of also making Harbourg a
free port.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant,
(Signed) G. R. PORTER.
William Dobson, Esq., &c., Lloyd's.
