and noble in the American institutions ; they will
exercise an immense influence on the destinies of the
human race, but our policy must be suited to what
the United States are at the present day. No one
can I, :tonished that we watch their progress with
a vig eye. It is both our duty and our right to
take consideration these new and important facts.
Even if prudence did not recommend us to follow
this course, the Message to Congress would point it
out to us." And then he came to the main point,
what France was to do in reference to the " strange
maxim," and his words were sufficiently explicit. He
repudiates (a favourite phrase in the Union) in the
strongest terms the selfish pretensions of the young
republic, and for one weighty reason, that they
would interfere in the most injurious manner with
the best interests of France. " The language
of the President," he affirmed with much
emphasis, " goes far beyond the limit of
the right of one people over another, however
great it might be. The commercial and political
relations which we have with the other states of North
America we shall maintain—it is our right, and w e
shall make use of it without any sentiment of
hostility towards the United States, but, on the con-
trary, with those sentiments of good-wi;l which we
have so long professed for them, without giving
them any subject of umbrage, but, also, without
being stopped by illegitimate pretensions." These
just sentiments of indignation at the lan-
guage of POLK called forth repeated cheers, be •
cause it is for the interest of France as well as
England that Mexico shall remain independent, that
the Spanish race shall not be oppressed by the
Anglo-American, and that, for the development
of prosperity and peace, free independent states
should be multiplied throughout the whole of the
American continents. But according to Mr.
PoLx's doctrine, the more powerful party—
that is, the United States, will submit to I
no interference either on the part of France
or England; that great Republic must manage all the
business in its own way with the small states, for not
one can cope with it ; the United States must be sole
arbiter in all disputes, portion out territories, and
extend their "general area," according to Mr. CASS,
till they have made the whole of the northern conti-
nent one and indivisible. They have already,
and in a very brief space, made good
progress in that respect. They have robbed Mexico
of Texas, they have fastened pretensions on Cali-
fornia. Oregon at present is of small moment, but
serves as an excuse for war, and they require it also
to make the republic complete in the west; Mexico
will be found necessary in order to extend
their land border on the Mexican Gulf,
which properly belongs to them, for more than
three-fourths of it are embraced by Florida, Louisiar a,
and Texas. Cuba lies near Florida, and also properly
belongs to it. St. Domingo is but a sister island, and
Jamaica would make their possessions in that part of
the archipelago complete. Has not Mr. POLK, then,
good reason to warn England and France off
premises which would add so much power
and glory to the United States, and extend
to the utmost verge of that hemisphere the
blessings of civilisation, the institutions of the great
republic, and the beautiful system of slavery which
flourishes in such vigour in that land of liberty ? But
unfortunately neither France nor England will listen
to Mr. Pomes " strange maxim." The one has still an
interest in St. Domingo and Mexico, and even
California; and the other will not, at the bidding of
TYLER, or PoLK, or CASS, give up her West India
possessions, or allow any power whatever to interfere
with their trade. In one thing, however, we must
rejoice. The President of the young republic has
put Europe on its guard. He has pre-
maturely laid open the ambitious and gigan-
tic schemes of his countrymen, and how-
ever his insulting expressions may be afterwards
smoothed down to conciliate France, or to blind
England, the avowed resolution cannot be forgotten,
that the United States are resolved to maintain
supreme dominion over the whole of the North
American continent.

Parliament being now so immediately upon the
eve of assembling—a circumstance which must
speedily settle the present agitation about commercial
reform—nothing could well possess a more extra-
ordinary interest for, or exercise a more astonishing
influence over, the minds and opinions of " the mass,"
than an explicit declaration of his views and intentions
from the lips of Lord JOHN RUSSELL. And that
declaration has just been uttered by the Noble Lord
on the occasion of his receiving the freedom of the
city of Glasgow from the hands of the Lord
Provost, on Monday evening last. Nor could
any enunciation upon a Legislative measure
so vast, and of such imminent importance,
as that of freedom to commerce in general, have been
more comprehensive, more emphatic, more compen-
dious, or more thoroughly candid in every one parti-
cular. But that almost every faculty of almost every
individual in the kingdom is absorbed, to the exclu-
sion of all other considerations, in the grand and mo-
mentous struggle for cheaper sustenance, the prelimi-
nary remarks made by Lord JOHN RUSSELL would

of themselves, arouse the attention of his countrymen'
—whether those countrymen consisted of his oppo-
nents or his admirers. This arises from the first
portion of his address being composed of allu-
sions to the most remarkable alterations which had
been effected in the Constitution, either under his
immediate auspices or his direct co-operation, from
the repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts, the

passing of the Reform Bill, the abolition of colonial
slavery, and the opening of a commercial intercourse
with India and China, to the publication of his mani-
festo respecting the duty upon foreign corn, addressed
to his constituents, the electors of London. With
respect to that manifesto Lord J. RUSSELL has ex-
pressed himself as resolute in his adherence
to every sentiment which it embodies, and
has defined with singular perspicuity the
origin of that alteration in his opinions which had
first become manifest from its expression ; and that
explanation proves him to have seceded from the ad-
vocacy of a fixed duty of eight shillings, and to have
resolved upon supporting the demand for a total
repeal of such taxation, from principles equally cre •

ditable to his philanthropy and his judgment. From
his address it appears that he had long since arrived
at the conclusion that no modification, adequate to

the exigencies of the nation, could, by any possibility,
be effected by artificial plans for the supply of food—
an impression which was confirmed by the failure of
Lord RIPON'S scheme in 1815, of the one propounded by
Lord LIVERPOOL and Mr. HUSKISSON in 1828, and of
the most chimerical proposition of all, the one ad- '
vanced by Sir ROBERT PEEL in 1842. Grounding
his estimate of internal and international economy
upon the system originated by ADAM Surru—a
system whose foundation is acknowledged by our
wisest statesmen to be of such marvellous stability—
he had coincided with that illustrious philosopher in

thinking that " legislation cannot do so well as the
free intelligence, the free skill, and the free industry
of the inhabitants" of any country like Great
Britain ; though, at the same time, he en-
tirely agreed with his position, " that if
a vicious system of monopoly or protection
is embedded in the legislation, it requires caution and
deliberation to consider in what manner such restric-
tions could be removed." It was, embued with these
considerations, that the Ministerial proposal of 1841
was brought forward in the House of Commons, with
the intention of conceding in some measure to the
wishes of both the agriculturists and the advo-
cates of commercial liberty—the failure of this
measure causing the withdrawal of Lord MEL-
BOURNE and his colleagues from office. It is
unnecessary to do more than just mention the main
features of that celebrated Bill—the importation of
sugar at a differential duty of 125., the decrease of
differential duty on colonial timber, and the establish-
ment of a fixed duty of Bs. upon corn, in lieu of the
sliding-scale system—these features being insufficient
for the demands of either party, rousing the acrimony
of the land proprietors, and fermenting discontent
among the populace as merely a partial improvement.
Speaking of the delight evinced by the protectionists
at what they then erroneously regarded as their vic-
tory, Lord J. RUSSELL inquires, in a tone of cutting
sarcasm, "Do they now rejoice that that eight shil-
ling duty was rejected ? Are they now prepared to
say that that eight shilling duty, which would have
prevented much of the misery, and mitigated many of
the evils which occurred to the manufacturing towns

in the years 1841-42, and 43, would not have been a
compromise most favourable to the views of those
calling for protection ?"
The irony of this question must be a hitter bolus for
the monopolists, and a bolus without a film of
gilding; they will however, be compelled to swallow
a still more nauseous and unpalateable pill before the
present agitation throughout the country can sub-
side. Upon this contumelious and absolutely ungrate-
ful conduct on the part of a class whose interests had
been consulted by the Whig Ministry more than they
were actually justified in doing—after, that is to say,
having been met with the opposition and revilings of
the agriculturists, instead of with their assistance and
gratitude, Lord JOHN ItussELL began to reconsider
the point at issue. He continues thus—

" When I saw those obstructions and those continued
rejections, I reflected that that confined proposition of
mine, which was not accepted by the landed interest,
was really an obstacle in the way of those who atktd fur
the complete freedom of trade on the subject of the corn-
laws; and rather thin be an obstacle in the way, and
be ieving that the present corn-laws are, as I have stated,
injuri,us to agriculture as well as to commerce, I with-
drew that proposition, and declared my opinion in a
letter to the electors of the City of London, whom I have
the honour to represent, that those corn-laws ought to
be totally repealed."

This is an honest avowal of an error in judgment,
for which we honour the noble speaker. The
succeeding sentence, on two accounts, is peculiarly
interesting, and no less peculiarly satisfactory, first,
as it affords us an inkling of the truth of what was
hitherto enigmatical ; and, secondly, as it contains a
guarantee of admirable and true-hearted boldness.

" It does not become me, in this place," said his
Lordship, "to refer to occurrences of which you
must all be aware, and of which the day of explana-
tion will arrive as soon as Parliament meets.
But this I will say, that when that day
of explanation arrives, I trust you will find
that I did not shrink from the assertion of all the
principles contained in that letter to the electors of
London."

The exposition which he then gives of the con-
sequences of a total abolition of the duty upon food
are worthy of the sagacity and forethought for which
the Noble Lord has acquired such a reputation. In
chat exposition he clearly displays the fact that the
agricultural labourers will be materially benefited as
regards employment by the alteration, instead
of undergoing all the privations and miseries
enumerated by such flowery orators as his
Grace of IlicusioND. Besides this, he explains
how inevitable a plentiful supply of corn to this
country must then be—all the vast granaries of the
earth being ready on occasion for our demands—
Odessa when Dantzic is deficient in the article, Ame-
rica when Odessa has been visited with a meagre
harvest; and that hence, moreover, the bonds of
amity between the several kingdoms in b ,th hemi-
spheres would become closer and more indis-
soluble. Towards the termination of his
address Lord JOHN RUSSELL became more
animated in his manner and more em-
phatic in his declarations, engaging in the
strongest language to persist in his struggles for un-
taxed commerce until a complete and elaborate re-
paration is made to the harder-worked, and more
heavily-burdened members of the community.
" It will be my duty before long to stand in the House
of Commons and declare my opinions upon some of the
most important questions that were ever agitated in that
assemblage. I fear not the discussion and in con-
clusion, the Noble Lord exclaimed, " I hope I may be
entitled to say, having received this honour from you,
and, being the. representative of the City of London, that
the great cities of England and Scotland are determined
that this monopoly shall last no longer, and that com-
merce shall be free !"

A fair augury may be taken as to the issue of any
contest, from the behaviour of the combatants ; and,
regarding in this light the two great parties in this
most important struggle, we cannot but be animated
by a sense of encouragement. Failure—most utter and
irretrievable failure—in the lachrymose and hesi-
tating movements of the one ;—triumph in the
staunch and courageous front of the other. Contrast
in this way the meetings at Cambridge and Glasgow
—at Willis's Rooms and at Covent-garden. The
deduction is obvious.

We have accounts from Madrid to the 7th. On
that day the discussion on the Address was resumed,
and, after a long speech from the Minister of the
Interior, it was adopted by a majority of 117 to 32.
The most active steps had been taken against Don
HENRIQUE, and it would appear that persons who had
little or nothing to do with the letter had also been
made sufferers. The PRINCE'S secretary had been
dismissed and banished to Cadiz ; his brother, Don
FRANCISCO D'Assisas, had been ordered to join his
regiment at Pampeluna ; and Don HENRIQUE was to
proceed with the least possible delay to Ferrol.
According to some accounts, the marriage of the
QUEEN with Count TRAPANI had been wonderfully
advanced by the indiscreet manifesto of his rival.

On the 7th the Three per Cents. closed at 348 at
60 days; the Five per Cents, at 25 3-16 at 60 days.

The speech of M. GUIZOT on foreign affairs, in the
Chamber of Peers, forms the principal topic of dis-
cussion in the Paris papers, and they materially differ,
as might be expected, on its merits. The most in-
teresting part of it to English readers was that which
related to Texas, and the independence of Mexico,
and the Message of President POLK. "In regard to
Texas and Mexico," he said, " the independence of that

country was admitted by the United States in 1837,
by France in 1838, and by England in 1840. We
had concluded a treaty of commerce with Texas ; we
had interests intermingled with hers, and we had a
right to advise her to pursue what appeared to us to
be, for her and for us, the best condition of independ-
ence. We therefore recommended her to remain

independent. Not only we were consistent with our
policy, but we consulted therein the interests of
France, particularly in her commercial relations, as
hereafter Texas might offer us great advantages in the
way of markets for our goods. France had,
besides, a great political interest in the independence
of Texas. It is the interposition of an independent
state in the midst of the United States. There are

in America two races, the Spanish and the Anglo-
American. It is our interest that the former should
not be oppressed by the latter, and the independence
of Texas would have the effect of lessening the
chances of a conflict between the two. It is, in fact,
advisable to multiply in America the number of inde-
pendent States; it is the most favourable condition
for liberty and for the development of prosperity and
peace. The division of Europe into a number of in-
dependent states has largly contributed to the
development of European prosperity. All intelligent
minds have invariably protested against the establish-
ment of a universal monarchy in Europe, and a uni-
versal republic would not be better for it. This is
one of the ideas which has influenced our conduct
towards Texas, and this idea you may rely on it
will prevail. Our commercial and political interests
would suffer matefially by the foundation of a go-
vernmental unity in 9.merica." The doctrine put
forth by POLK, on the interference of European powers,
with the affairs of America, or any State in North
America, he could not admit. He called it a
" strange maxim," and while France would interfere
as she had hitherto done, and maintain relations and
treaties with these states, they would follow such a
course without any.sentiment of hostility to the United
States. He thus concluded :—" And for my part,
as long as I have the honour of a seat in the councils
of the Crown, I shall endeavour to preserve, between
France and the United States relations of the most
sincere and affectionate kind; whilst I, at the same

time, maintain, with them or without them, the full in-
dependence of the policy of France. In doing that we
shall be understood and approved of, I hope, on the
other side of the Atlantic. I know the empire of popular
enthusiasm, but I also know that all modern free
states, whatever may be their internal constitution,
repose everything on this idea—that, in spite of the
errors and prejudices of the moment, justice and
good sense ultimately prevail. The organisation of
the free states of modern times rests on this hope,
and I trust that the United States will not be the
first to give a contradiction to this most salutary ex-
pectation." Eve a the Government papers differ re-
garding this part of the speech. The Journal des
Debate praises the sentiments of the Foreign Minister,
while the Rpoqu& seems far too favourzble to Mr.
POLK. The former journal says :
" The Minister of Foreign Affairs concluded his speech
with grave and solemn words, which we hope will be
heard and listene d to beyond the Atlantic. The ex-
traordinary preten 'ions, to call them nothing more, which
the President of tb le United States has put for .h to his

Message, required an answer from the high tribune of
France. This answer was given yesterday by M.
Guizot, with a measured force and dignity of language
which augments its imposing authority. Never, per-
haps, has the position in the world of the United States,
their past and future destiny and their relations with the
great European states, been more nobly estimated.
This is the language which becomes the tribune of a
great people, and may be taken as an example by those
who pretend to make themselves models for us."
The Epoque writes in a different strain :
"M. Guizot praised the Government of the United
States for the resolution mentioned by President Polk,
and which consists in never espousing by an alliance the
hpoleaidcyoforanthoeppinoisoirtlioen of another

We look on such a policy as selfish and shameful, and
one must be an American to boast of it. Undoubtedly
it is sometimes a good means of carrying on one's affairs
to remain apart from those of others, as it is a good
means to make a fortune, never to give or lend money
to any one. But there is at the bottom of the heart of
every man, who is not a mean and ignoble trader, a sen-
timent of natural generosity which silences egotism, and
which flies to the service of the man, or nation, that suf-
fers. In truth, a brutal and cynical audacity is required
to?lare to declare to Europe, that the principle of the policy
of the United States has been, and always shall be, to re-
main cold end motionless in face of all the great questions
which may agitate Europe. What would you be then,
wretched mass oi adventurers, an asylum open like that
of Romulus to all bad characters from the old world, if
France had not had the noble generosity to send to your
aid her squadrons and bravest gentlemen? What would
you be if France had not formed an alliance with you
when you were Without fleet, without army, without
money, when you had all to receive and nothing to
give? What will you even be if you ever have the
courage to act according to your gasconading, and if a
war should take place between you and England, unless
France comes to your assistance? In a week you would
have no navy; in a week you would be reduced to your
army of 6,000 men, who would remain invincible, like
Rostopchin's Cossacks, because they would fly to your
deserts! Go to, go to ! guard your policy of selfish-
nees; remain squatting down over all noble sentiments,
like misers over their money ; we shall never envy you
the part you have determined to adopt, and we shall
continue to offer our pity, admiration, and our concur-
rence in all noble causes, in whatsoever country they
may be, that religion, justice, and humanity shall have
rendered ours."

" Neutrality," the Constitutional says, " would be a
good policy, but it was not practised in Texas ; the
words of M. GuizoT aim at flinging fresh causes
of coolness between America and France. It is an
intervention by word of mouth in favour of England
on the Oregon question."
The Courrier Francaise confines itself chiefly to the
Texas affair, and in that accuses M. G UIZOT of a
weakness and want of tact, which has given the
Americans so mean an opinion of France, that they
no longer hesitate to set her at defiance in any of the
claims that they may set up. The National is much
more concise than usual, and rather more moderate.
It does not fail, however, to characterise the whole of
M. G UIZOT'S policy as bad, or to describe his defence
of it as weak. Alluding to his speech on the present
occasion it says :—" lie did not even palliate with
his usual eloquence the diplomatic blunders that he
was forced to relate. His success, therefore, was
null, and the most favourably disposed in this indul-
gent assembly had not the courage to applaud the
Minister." The discussion on the Address was going
on at the hour of post. It appears from the Paris
papers that the accident on the Rouen and Havre line
has not caused so much damage as stated. The
following paragraph respecting Louis NAPOLEON
appears in the Gazette de France :
" The ex-King of Holland is about to see his son again.
Prince Louis may receive the last sigh of his noble father,
whose life, undermined by various sorrows, is visibly de-
parting. An ex-deputy of the Centre, M. C—, went a
few days ago to visit the young prisoner, with the mis-
sion, it appears, of communicating this to him. The
Prince learned with a joy that was very natural, that a
term was about to be put to his captivity. M. C
brought back an acquiescence of honour, which permitted
an immediate decision for the liberation of Prince
Louis."

" Baron Zangiacomi, President of the Chamber of
Requests at the Court of Cassation, died on Monday
morning at 6 o'clock, at the advanced age of 80 years,
from an attack of apoplexy."

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. 1
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
There was a quiet market for Cotton at Liverpool yester •
day, and prices were without change. The sales were 4,000 ;
bales, all to the trade. A fair business done in Shares, with '
an improvement in the market generally.
The accounts received to-day from Buenos Ayres tend
fully to confirm the previous indications of a fixed determi-
nation on the part of England and France to prosecute with
vigour the contest in which we aro engaged.
The Stock Market is very heavy to •day, and there have
been rather large sales effected. The Bears are exceed-
ingly persevering, being encouraged by the exaggerated re-
presentations upon the subject of the inconvenience likely to
result from the lodgement of the railway deposits, and by the
rumour of another split in the Cabinet. Consols have been
9414 to 941/2 for present transfer, and from 941, they have
dropped to 941/2 for Account. Exchequer-bills have also
experienced a marked decline, viz., from 235. and 245. to
18s. premium. A few days since they were 30s. to 325.
Bank Stock is worth 2031/2 to 2041/. The New Three-and-
a-Quarter per Cents. have been 9714 to 971/2, but are now
only 96%.
The Foreign Bonds have been very dull, and droop withour
own Funds. The half-monthly account is in course of arrange-
ment. Spanish Three per Cents. have realised 38% to 39%,
Peruvian 41, Mexican 30k, Grenada 213 A, Brazilian (New)
82, and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cen:s. 591,4.
The Share Market always feels the influences affecting
Stocks. This, especially, is a heavy day, because of the
Consol and Foreign Account settlements, and the payment of
differences arising from the speculation of the last fortnight
in railway shares. Sales are made necessarily at a slight
decline, but probably there will be a rally after the slight
money pressure in the " house " has subsided, and prices even
to-day are in some instances better.
