made by the Plenipotentiaries of Northern and Western
•Europe in 1815, those two great divisions have since
then perpetually regarded each other's movements
with jealousy and suspicion. As in a compact body
of water, wherever there is a depression on
one side there is a correspondent elevation
on the other, and the reverse; so in the
political movements of Northern and Western Europe
there has been a continual oscillation. In those
movements, arbitrary and constitutional Governments
have incessantly striven to counteract the proceedings
of each other, though hitherto under the mask of
friendship, and the delusive guise of apparent
compensation. Never until the year 1846 had either
side perpetrated crimes so naked and enormous since
the termination of the Napoleonian war 3. And the
cause of this open rupture is attributable to what ?
To what ?—The question is plain; the answer is still
plainer. The evils of this malign dissipation
of the peace of thirty-one years' duration is
solely, and wholly, and entirely attributable to
the French Government. Clothe these occurrences
with all that is specious in diplomacy, with all that
is wily in Ministerial casuistry, with all that is in-
genious in argument and dazzling in eloquence—
that is the one connlusion which can alone be arrived
at. To the guile, the selfishness, the avarice, and the
ambition of the French Government, the rupture of
this protracted peace is exclusively attributable.
And the lures which tempted that Government on to
the commission of this great legislative sin—what
were those lures ? Let us have a truce to all
the trumpery delicacies of speech in reference
to this odious breach of all that is ho-
nourably and really courageous. The French
Government has blown to the winds of
heaven the bonds of amity, the restrictions of justice,
and the spirit of that illustrious charter which in
1830 was sealed with the blood of her heroic citizens.
Let us then blow to the winds the paltry forms of
conventional politesse, and speak a language that can
be understood by all. Speaking that plain language—
the language of truth—we aver that the lures which
tempted the French Government on to the perpetra-
tion of this arch-sin against tha constitutional liber-
ties of a free people, and against the peace of the en-
tire world, were these :

to a great extent, effectuated in an indirect manner,
and we conceive that an efficient poor-law will ope-
rate advantageously in reminding absentees that pro-
perty has its duties as well as its rights, and in con-
vincing them that they cannot, with impunity, con-
tinue to neglect residing upon the estates from which
their incomes are derived. With respect to the Irish
fisheries, and a scheme of emigration, they are both
of them subjects under the consideration of the Go-
vernment. Emigration to the North American colo-
nies, or elsewhere, must be a work of time, before it
can be sufficiently encouraged to produce any sub-
stantial effect upon the surplus and unemployed
labouring population of Ireland. For the present we
must content ourselves with devising and pressing
on measures which will he more immediate in
their results. What is wanted in Ireland,
is rather a judicious migration within her
natural boundaries, than without. Reclaim
the waste lands, destroy the small holdings, and
transpose the tenants of the latter to become the
occupiers of the former, would savour far more of
sound polic3witwell as be in better keeping with the
interests of patriotism. Besides, with regard to
emigration, it is ever found that those who are mo: t
inclined to embark for distant lands, are of the class
the most desirable to retain upon their native soil.
The revenue police of Ireland is at once an expensive
and vexatious force. Happily, however, the develop-
ment of the principles of free trade renders the day
not far distant when England, equally with Ireland,
will be enabled to dispense with the necessity of
maintaining these Treasury sentinels : ccssante ra-
tione, cessat lea.

The remarkable contest for the Chancellorship of
the Cambridge University was brought to a close on
Saturday, when Prince ALBERT was elected by a
majority of 116 votes over those given in favour of
the Earl of Powis. From the vast number of votes
polled on either side, this memorable election must
be regarded as highly creditable, not less to the
nobleman who has been placed in a minority than to
the distinguished personage who has gained the pre-
ference with the sons of Alma Mater. Nothing could
have been more graceful than the manner in which
the Prince declined, in the first instance, to give his
personal consent to be started as a candidate. It
was, however, notwithstanding, perfectly and fairly
open to those members of the Senate House to register
their votes for his Royal Highness, who conceived
:hat in the person of the Prince Consort they
liscerned most eligible qualities for filling the highest
lignity which they are empowered to confer; and
aow that their wishes have been consummated,
far as the election is concerned, we
doubt not that Prince ALBERT will accept
he Chancellorship. The elevated and honorary office
will, under the circumstances, be presented to the
Royal Consort as a signal acknowledgment of his
public and private virtsies ; and can, at the same
time, be assumed by the Prince with satisfaction to
ill parties, considering the extreme delicacy with
which he responded to the original requisition. The
attempt that was made to invest the election with
party and acrimonious feelings, has turned out to be
exceedingly futile. It may be that a spirit of colle-
;late rivalry animated a few, more or less, as to which
if the candidates they should support; but, we re-
jeat, that a review of the contest, regarded in all its
dements, cannot, and ought not, to result in a
feeling of disappointment on either side. On the
Jne hand, the majority is sufficiently substantial to
engender sentiments of satisfaction to Prince ALBERT ;
and, on the other, the minority must be esteemed
highly complimentary to the Earl of Powis, when,
apart from the private virtues which adorn the cha-
racter of his Lordship's illustrious rival, fair allow-
,ince is made for the attractive influences derivable
`rom the enjoyment of the highest position which can
be occupied by a subject of these realms. When
public attention was first drawn to the proposal
for electing his Royal Highness Chancellor of
the University, we conceived there were some
public reasons why it would not be altogether de-
sirable that the Prince should be selected to fill the
vacant dignity, particularly as it appeared that the
election would not pass off with unanimity. But,
the contest having terminated in the mode to which
we have adverted, our minds are chiefly relieved from
the objections which we were originally disposed to
entertain, and upon which we are, therefore, not now
inclined to enter. It is sufficient to observe
that obvious advantages are likely to be
realised by both Alma Mater and the pub
lic from the election of the Prince Censor
to the Chancellorship. His Royal Highness cannot
but feel a lively interest for the future welfare ot

Talk as they may across the channel in extenua
tion of the conduct pursued by the Cabinet of the
Tuileries, those are among the principal incitement
to the transaction. And it is entirely upon thi:
insane venture on the part of the French Government
that have resulted the rupture of the entente cordiale,
the disFersion of even all the appearances of cor-
diality, and the invasion of the Cracovian Republic. i
One among the Liberal nations of 'Western Europc
has, therefore, for the gratification of its unholy lust:
aided in the development of the cause of Norther,
Europe—a cause which is directly opposed to free-
dom and civilisation. To the French Government,
then, these things are alone owing; but will the con-
sequences be as disastrous as might have been at first
anticipated ? Our reliance upon the omnipotence
of the spirit of Liberty, and our conviction that civi-
lization has exceeded the bounds of barbarian con-
quest, assure us that they cannot ultimately prove
disastrous in diminishing the one and obliterating
the other. From the shameless proceedings of the
French Government may come a temporary shock to
the power of the people. Northern despotism and
eastern ignorance may at first be aroused to efforts
injurious to the great and sublime cause of civilised
nations ; but ultimately the reaction will produce
more than a merely brilliant compensation. Already
has that reaction incited the King of PRUSSIA to pay a
homage tothe intelligence of his subjects in a manner
unparalleled in ancient or modern history. And that
reaction is being marvellously aided by the liberalis-
ing innovations of Pope Pius IX., innovations which

long period past the system pursued at the Univer-

ments of the age. In the ecclesiastical as well as
the secular culture of the human mind, in regard to
morals, in the extravagant expenditure of the youth
committed to their supervision and control, and the
needless cost at present incidental to a collegiate
career, the Universities have fallen far short of the

We insert to-day a long letter, headed " Small
Measures for Ireland," which was addressed
to us by a landlord in the county of Donegal. At
this painful and critical period for that afflicted
country—painful from the horrible destitution to
millions are hourly subjected—critical, inas-
much as, according to the nature of the measures of
a permanent character, which the Legislature may
pass during the present session, will either the wel
fare of Ireland be placed upon a footing of progressive
regeneration, or her miseries become aggravated to
an almost irretrievable extent—at such a moment we
hold it desirable that those who, by their landed pos-
sessions, must feel deeply interested in all that is now
rivetting and absorbing the attention of every class
throughout the United Empire, and who have been
at the pains to consider what might tend to solve the
perplexities, political and social, of Ireland, should
have an opportunity of bringing their respective
views under the notice of the public. The author of
the letter in question, in the earlier portion of it,
passes a warm eulogi um upon, and herein only renders a
simple act of justice to, a numerous body of Irish
landlords, whose conduct, in these perilmis
times, has entitled them in every respect to
patriotic commendation. On the other hand,
the writer passes some very severe, and well-merited
strictures upon the past improvidence, folly, and
rapacity of an extensive class of Irish proprietors,
who have recklessly augmented and precipitated
" discontent, poverty, and outrage." He clearly in-
dicates that had their conduct been regulated by the
philanthropic spirit of " Live and let live," the pre-
sent disastrous aspect of Ireland would never have
been witnessed. To the weak-minded and grasping
policy of extorting heavy fines, in the first instance,
from every moderate capitalist, who was inclined to
invest his means in the cultivation of a farm of de-
sirable dimensions, to the extravagant prices at
which the proprietary fixed their rents, is to be
mainly attributed the number of small holdings
into which estates have been gradually subdivided,
a system which, more than any other, has constituted
a prolific source of the agrarian evils by which Ire-
land has, for years, been discreditably characterised.
The farmer, in the vain hope of redeeming himself
from the thraldom of the incumbrances incurred by
the unreasonable terms which his landlord had im-
posed on his first taking the land, lent himself, in turn,
to exact conditions, proportionately harsh, from those
who agreed to take small allotments under him, till
at last the cycle of selfishness being completely run
through, nature is found in the end vindicating the
original infraction of the principles of justice,
and the deplorable result is evidenced of men
and land being involved in one common ruin.
Men, who might have been comparatively affluent, are
seen steeped in bankruptcy by the wholesale; and
the soil, which should have teemed with produce, lies
fearfully barren. Mr. TODD recommends an imme-

the Crown Prince may be proclaimed Regent, and

the KING has, throughout his whole career, exhibited
more eccentricity than wisdom.

We have received the Paris papers of Sunday.
It appears that the differences between M. GLYIZOT
and Lord NORMANDY have been arranged through the
intervention of Count n'AProNY, the Austrian Ambas-
sador, at whose residence they met on Saturday.

According to the National, this arrangement was
brought about by the intervention of the superior Powers.
" The superior Powers," says the National, " have in-
terfered, and it is said that the affair is to be arranged.
In the mean time Lord PALMERSTON pursues his course.
The SULTAN'S Envoy, commissioned to summon the
Bey of TUNIS to return to his allegiance, has arrived at
Malta, on board an English vessel. It is probable that
an English squadron will aceompany him to Tunis. It
is now contemplated to act against Tunis as Egypt was
treated in the year 1841—that is, a new treaty of July
with the four Powers against us. M. FORNARI has
brought us back to the restoration, and England to the
coalition. We are in a course of progress. ftlatters are
not more favourable in Spain. Carlist bands ere be-
coming more numerous, and considerable anxiety pre-
vails at Madrid, where a general insurrection in the
name of the Pretender is every day expected. In order
that no doubt may remain respecting our isolation, Lord
I'LLmEnsros has announced to Count ST. AULAIRE
that the treaty of the quadruple alliance no longer I
exists. The Montpensier marriage portion bears in-

diate abandonment of the system of small
holdings. We have over and over again urged
the same counsel, and we believe that the measures
of the Government will be shaped with the view of
gradually eradicating the existing diminutive and
. _ _

vicious division of land. Other suggestions are made
by the above-mentioned gentleman, which are con-

nected with questions of the utmost gravity,

and which would, therefore, demand considerable

space to expatiate upon them with the ampli-

ude they would require.

The propriety of im-

posing a tax upon absentees is a question of this
nature. It is one that has been mooted with great

earnestness at different periods during the last three-
quarters of a century. Weighty objections have re-

peatedly been urged against the imposition of such a
tax. But what cannot be done in a direct, may be,

the arrears."

The M. FORNARI alluded to above is the POPE'S
Nuncio, the protector of the Jesuits, and the petted of
the Presse, who has just overruled the wishes of both
M. GUIZOT and the KING, and prevented the appoint-
ment of M. HEBERT to the Ministry of Justice. Is
France prepared again to see her Government taking
laws from the parti pretre, as in the time of the restora-
tion? It would seem as if the days of the Corbieres,
the Peyronnets, and Frayssinous, had returned.

M. DUVERGIER DE HAURANNE has laid on the table
of the Chamber of Deputies a Bill for electoral reform.
He proposes that—
"l. Every Frenchman in the enjoyment of his civil and po•.
litical rights, having completed the age of twenty-five years,
and paying 100 francs of direct contributions, shall be an
elector, if he fulfils the other conditions of the law. 2. If the
number of electors in an electoral arrondissement does not
amount to 400, that number will be filled up by adding the
names of those who pay the largest amount of direct con-
, tributions under 100 francs. 3. Besides these, the following
to be electors :—Members and correspondents of the insti-
tute, officers of the army and navy having pensions of 1,200
francs or more, judges of courts and tribunals, whether in
active service or retired, titular professors of the faculties of
law, medicine, and sciences, and those of the colleges of
France and the Garden of Plants ; advocates of five years'
standing, doctors of metlicane after five years' residence
in an arrondissement, notaries and armies after five years're-
sidence ; members of the Chambers of Commerce, of the
councils of mannfacturers, and of the councils of prudhonunes,
and members of the municipal councils of the capital of the
arrondissement, or where the population exceeds 3,000. The
Chamber of Deputies to consist of 538 members, which is an
addition of seventy-nine to its present number. It is sup-
posed that the Government will oppose this proposition, ab
initio, and endeavour to get it strangled in the bureaux."
Orders have been given to fit out the steam frigates
Vauban and Eldorado, at present in dock at L'Orient,
with the utmost possible expedition. Two ships of the
line, the Friedland and the Jena, were to sail fur Brest
from Toulon on the Ist inst.

The Monitcur Parisicn states that the interest on
Treasury bonds is to be raised from the Ist instant to
3 per cent. on bonds which have from three to five
months to arrive at maturity ; to 3i per cent. on bonds
at from six to eleven months' date, and to 4 per cent, on
bonds at one year date.

However much we may regret the perhaps unavoidable
necessity which exists for a postponement of further reduc-
tions in import duties, but more especially in that upon Tea,
it is at least consolatory to find that there are some indica-
tions of the progress of our trade with China, despite the
difficulty at present existing in the obtainment of return
cargoes. According to the last advices received
by the overland mail, and which include a review
of the operations of last year, it would appear that
there has been a fair business done, and that there is a pros-
pect of an increase. What it might be, however, under a
more liberal tariff on Chinese productions imported here, it
is needless to point out.
According to the most recent information upon China, col-
lected by the late Colonial Treasurer at Hong-Kong,' that
vast country produces tobacco, coal, saltpetre, skins,
corn, drugs, silks, salt, marble, indigo, gold, tin, rice, hemp,
sugar, copper, iron, tea, &c., and there is no doubt ut that
a surplus of these articles, under fair encouragement, could
be obtained, for exportation in return for British manufac-
tures. When we reflect that China has about the same
number of inhabitants to each square mile as England, and
that the most dense population is along the banks of the
great rivers, which would serve as the highway of com-
merce, it is impossible to over-estimate the future
importance of this market. Four hundred millions of
human beings must offer a field for the exten-
sion of imports, even though their resources were far
less than they are. From the returns made by the Secretary
of the East India and China Association the arrivals of ship-
ping in the United Kingdom during the year 1846 exhibit
an increase from China of 4,792 tons, and the departures to
that country of 2,986 tons. With these facts before us there
is every room for sanguine anticipations.
