The Committee of Management hereby give notice, that they
have COMPLETED the ALLOTMENT of SHARES in this under
taking (with the exception of Shares reserved according to the
prospectus, and Shares set apart to meet the claims of Shareholders
in the West Lancashire Company), and that the letters of allotment
have been this day posted. They have to express their regret that
in consequence of the very numerous applications, they have been
obliged, in making the allotment, to reduce the number of Shares
applied for in almost every instance, and to reject altogether a large
number of applications of the most respectable character.
Deposits must be paid to the Bankers not later than the 9th inst.,
and it is essential that the Shareholders should afterwards, without
delay, execute the Parliamentary deeds, which will remain antil
further notice at the *dice of the Company.

revenue ? The annexation of Mexico to the
Republic created by the genius of FRANKLIN and the
integrity of WASHINGTON is manifestly impossible.
There is nothing whatever homogeneous in the nature of
the two countries ; on the contrary, there is everything
antagonistic. They could never coalesce, they could
never even hope to coalesce. Mexico must be utterly
depopulated, and subsequently colonised by staunch
citizens of the United States, before there could be
any submission in that enormous country. The army
of General TAYLOR would have to penetrate beyond
the Rio Grande to the most southern extremities of
Mexico, slaughtering every human being it might
encounter, men, women, and children, indiscrimi-
nately, if the Executive seriously intended the sub-
jection of those regions. It is conceivable enough
that our brother of America would willingly behold
a territory so capable of profitable cutivation,
so gigantic in its extension, situated in so
central a position in this terraqueous globe,
commanding the two great oceans, studded upon its
marine boundaries by such admirable inlets and har-
bours, joined to the noble land of which he himself
is a denizen. It is conceivable that he should be am-
bitious to behold those pinnacles which had been
formerly adorned with the standard of the heroic
CORTEZ, flouted by the star-spangled banner. It is
even conceivable that he should yearn for the
prosperity of the agriculture and the commerce
of Mexico, provided the riches resulting therefrom
tended to the emolument of his original home. All
these aspirations are conceivable enough, because they
would be most in accordance with the national vain-
glory and individual self-esteem which are so
conspicuously the characteristics of the men of
the United States. It is incredible, however,
how a Government can trifle with the repu-
tation of a people entrusted to their guidance
and protection, as the Government of Mr. Polk has
done since its first establishment to the present
moment, but especially in this Mexican invasion !
The scorn of civilised Europe is accounted as nothing
when weighed in the brazen balance of their avarice.
The members of that Administration are obdurate to
all the pleadings of the popular voice; they are indif-
ferent to the obloquy which is inevitable on the ful-
filment of their unconscientious policy. They boldly
adventured upon the subjugation of Mexico, and the
result of that movement has been—large draughts
upon the public purse, painful marches of the American
soldiery, the double disgrace of their naval forces at
Alvarado, a bloody and unprofitable victory under
the walls of Monterey, the precarious occupation of
California and New Mexico, and a prospect of the
most discouraging obstructions, to their further ad-
vancement, both from man and from nature.

On the departure of the last intelligence from the
Western Continent, General TAYLOR still continued
at Monterey, fearful of proceeding into the interior
from the probability of a scarcity of shelter and pro-
visions—the cottages being burnt, the crops being
destroyed, and the villages evacuated by their in-
habitants, in that direction. The Commander-in-Chief,
General SANTA ANNA, had hastened from the capital to
obstruct the progress of the invaders, or, as he him3elf
intimated in his memorable manifesto, to drive them
ignominiously beyond the frontiers, or to die fighting.
It is distressing, however, to reflect that, in conse-
quence of the apathy of his countrymen, that patriotic
chieftain was accompanied on his departure
by merely 2,000 cavalry and 1,000 infantry, and was
furnished with a military chest containing only
27,000 dollars. With these and the remnant of the
forces of AMPUDIA, he will have to defend Saltillo,
providing General TAYLOR has the temerity to pro-
ceed there forthwith, or, in case of discomfiture at
Saltillo, to fall back upon San Luis Potosi, and re-
pulse the enemy under the protection of its fortifica-
tions. We should feel infinite trepidation as to the
effects which such a disparity of numbers would have
upon Mexico were we not inspired with a confidence
in the invincible power of true patriotism, and in the
invulnerable character of even a small band of men
fighting for the liberties, the independence, the
integrity, and the very existence of their common
country.

" lieu pietas ! lieu prisca fides ! invictaque bello
Dextra! non illi quisquam se impune tulissot
Obvius armato."
With fidelity to their national cause, with con-
fidence in the sacred nature of their office as de-
fenders of their native land, with a stern
employment of their military capacities, they
may triumph over the most monstrous dis-
proportion of numbers. LEONIDAS is not the only tes-
timony that these miracles of warfare are possible.
SANTA ANNA is clearly animated by a high
ambition, an ambition which the most de-
pressing circumstances will scarcely abate. In the
face of the whole world he has proclaimed
his determination to be true to Mexico—

to be staunch in his patriotism—to conquer
or to die. He has staked everything upon the issue
of this war—his name, his fame, his fortune, his re-
putation, his intellect, his life. He has abandoned
everything to lead his countrymen to battle. He
has forsaken the safety of his seclusion at Havannah,
he has neglected the allurements to self-aggran-
dizement which have been presented to him by the
confusion of Mexican affairs ; he has rejected the
supreme command as President, he has thrown aside
all the baubles of office, and despised all the decoys
of physical enjoyment, to march upon the invaded
frontiers in the simple capacity of a soldier. The
Mexicans must rouse themselves from their ignoble
torpor, and repay the generosity and magnanimity of
SANTA ANNA by their limbs and their money. De-
cisive measures must be taken, otherwise Mexico may
he afflicted by years of misfortune.

A short while since considerable anxiety existed
is various parts of the kingdom in favour of opening
:he ports for the admission of foreign corn ; and at
;hat time it was not unnatural that a large portion of
he public should have manifested an eager desire to
press upon the Government to effectuate their wishes.
But, though the desire was a natural one, it did not
follow that it would have been, therefore, sound
policy on the part of the Executive to have abolished
the fleeting remnant of protection. Those who me-
morialised the Minister for instantaneous free trade in
grit n were, a few weeks back, environed by specious
cirzumstances of apprehension, which certainly justi-
fied: them in bringing their views prominently under
the notice of the Premier. The belief was then very
general that throughout Europe the late harvests were
very thin, that with respect to our own, quantity and
quality considered, it was below the average, and that
the prices of corn, which had risen so rapidly at home,
would continue to increase. Moreover, we were ex-
porC4l,g corn to France; and it was further conceived,
that the extreme destitution of Ireland could not
be safely met in any other way than by
thro wing our ports open to the introduction of
every species of grain, free of duty. Happily, how-
ever, these fears have, in a great measure, turned out
to be groundless. In America, on the shores of the
Baltiic, in most of the provinces of France, in Bel-
gium, and in Egypt, the crops of the current year, it
is wavy ascertained, have been most prolific. To
Frame we some time since ceased to export, and
nevor should have exported at all, had not that
counctry, like our own, been seized with a fallacious

panic. Bread is already lowered in price, and
,by the
extr %ordinary measures of the Parliament and Go-
venal, ent combined, the worst feature of the
whole, the direful exigency of Ireland, has been
prevented reaching the fearful height to which it was
anticipated it would attain. Still, notwithstand-
ing -we have been thus statistically and otherwise
relieved from serious misgivings, others of our coun-
trynie.n have been unable to shake off their despon-
denc.ty . Accordingly, a deputation from the citizens of
London waited upon Lord Joux RUSSELL, about
three weeks since, to urge the opening of the ports.
His Lordship assured them that this step should be
take n, if demanded by any "extraordinary neces-
sity.' Dissatisfied with this answer, another deputa-
tion, !from the same quarter attended upon Sir GEORGE
GR sr yesterday, for the purpose of presenting,

thr gh the Right Hon. Baronet, a memorial to her
ItilJ/ESTY for trade in foreign corn, duty free. The

me. nuorialists alleged that they had ceased to repose

cm ►fi dence in the Premier, because, in his celebrated

let;:ei • to the electors of London, in November, last

ye Ar, he had advocated the abolition of all duties on

corn, but now declines to sanction their immediate

extinction. Mr. CHARLES COCHRANE, who was the

spoke sman, harped upon this letter, and inasmuch as
Lo: rd JOHN RUSSELL last autumn advised large de-

moi 44itrations to be got up in favour of opening the

ports, Mr. COCHRANE sought to extract from the
Secretary for the Home Department, whether,
by the words " extraordinary necessity," the Noble
Lord, his colleague, designed that numerous meetings
should be assembled, as in such case he undertook to
have one, to the amount of fifty thousand persons, in
Palace-yard, within eight days. Sir GEORGE GREY
replied with statesmanlike felicity. He could only
answer for himself. It was not for him to construe
the expression used by the Prime Minister; but he
conceived that such a meeting as suggested by Mr.
COCHRANE would not constitute the " necessity" re-
ferred to by Lord JOHN, but rather " a certain class
of statistical facts bearing on the condition and the
circumstances of the country." The proposition of
Mr. COCHRANE might amount to nothing more
than a demonstration of physical force, whereas moral
force alone would govern any advice which Sir G.
GREY, and, no doubt, Lord JOHN RUSSELL, would
tender to the QUEEN for opening the ports. Num-
bers alone would never suffice; they must be joined
to a sound and comprehensive view of all existing
circumstances. One of the most obvious of these
would be, what seems to be entirely forgotten by
Mr. COCREANE, that since Lord JOHN addressed his
electors in November, 1845, the whole question cf
import duties affecting grain has undergone solemn
deliberation in the Legislature, and given birth to an
Act which, for the magnitude of the interests it dealt
with, cannot be lightly superseded by an order in
Council ; and the emergency must be " extraor-
dinary" indeed which could justify a Minister in
dispensing with its enactments. Another circum-
stance is, that Parliament will now be shortly assem-
bling, and certainly there is no paramount pressure,
arising either from want of food or employment, that
imperiously calls upon us to urge the Minister to the
serious and responsible step of removing off-
hand the slight remaining and terminable
duties upon foreign corn. Practically, it is
a constitutional privilege which we enjoy of express-
ing to the Government, freely and unreservedly, our
feelings and views upon any public question, but we
are not clear that, in the present instance, the privi-
lege has been resorted to with due consideration.

The want of unity of action, of a cordial co-
operation amongst her more favoured children, for
the benefit of their common country, has long been
one of the chief causes of the unhappy condition of
our sister kingdom. The civil and religious differ-
ences that so long prevailed, the party dissensions,
the rancorous hostility with which the professors of
different political principles regarded each other,
were the sad results of long years of misgovernment
and oppression, during which the ruling powers
practised with too fatal a success the vile expedient of
fostering the animosities and exciting the prejudices,
of the people. "Divide et imperil' was the rule of
government. To one class every encouragement was
afforded; they were placed in the enjoyment of ex-
clusive rights and exclusive privileges ; they
were taught to regard their brethren as
their inferiors, to believe that they were
entitled to an ascendancy over them, that
they were beings of a superior creation,
and that they might with impunity insult and domi-
neer over the vast majority of the people, whom they
looked upon as

" Born for their use."

Party processions were encouraged ; the exhibition of
the most hostile feelings, the most inveterate preju-
dices, were sanctioned and approved of. All the
honours and emoluments of office were distributed
amongst the favoured few, while the many were
ground down by harsh laws and oppression, and sub-
jected to penal restrictions and to civil and religious
disabilities. Is it to be wondered at that a wide line
of demarcation separated the different sections, that
no cordial or friendly feelings existed between the
oppressors and the oppressed, that one party should
struggle hard to maintain the position they once
had occupied, while the other, awakened to a
knowledge of their real strength, should persevere
in their exertions until they obtained a full and per-
fect equality, and the enjoyment of entire liberty of
conscience—that each defeat should more deeply em-
bitter the feelings on the one side, and cheer the
other with the anticipations of further victories and
successes. Neutrality was impossible. The adage
of " those who are not with us are against us" was
never more strictly true than in Ireland—there could
be no halting between two opinions : the man who
hesitated about going the extreme length with his
party was looked upon as a traitor, and regarded with
greater dislike and hatred than an avowed opponent.
Such was the state of things in Ireland towards
the close of the first quarter of the present century,
There was, however, an improved feeling beginning
to manifest itself throughout both kingdoms; anti-
quated prejudices were exploded, more liberal and
enlightened views of government prevailed. It was
felt in high places that men should not be sufferers
for conscience sake, that every man should be per-
mitted to worship his CREATOR in the manner which
he believed to be most proper, that there should be no
interference between him and his GOD.
Catholic Emancipation became an open question,
as it is termed in the Cabinet, and several of the
Ministry joined in the demand for freedom to their
Roman Catholic brethren. The then Premier died,
and CANNING succeeded to the vacant office, but he
had not sufficient power to carry the great question.
He was cut off in the pride and vigour of intellect,
at a time when the public mind and public hope was
excited to the highest pitch, when all liberal-minded
men were looking forward with intense interest to the
ameliorations that were expected. His principles,
however, died not with him ; the good seed had been
sown, and fresh converts flocked daily to the side of
freedom of conscience. His successor said that it
was in vain to attempt to stem the torrent, to resist
was
fatal
to the popular will, firmly and deliberately expressed ;
he yielded, and carried the great measure of Catholic
surrender
to his
Emancipation. But his victoryss

It is to be regretted that the measure so carried
was not as full and perfect as the friends of liberty
could have desired. It was clogged with conditions,
and certain regulations, which, though of no practical
value, and affording no additional securities, took
greatly away from thegrace of the boon, which tended
to show the existence of suspicion and distrust, and
plainly testified that the measure was conceded not on
grounds of natural justice, but simply because there
was not sufficient strength to render further resis-
tance safe !or practicable. Obsolete laws were still
suffered to disgrace the statute-book, which, though
never attempted to be put in force or brought into
operation, were yet looked upon as badges of infe-
riority, as marks of reproach, to seven-eighths of the
Irish nation. It could scarcely, however, be hoped
that every vestige of bigotry and intolerance could be
swept away at a moment's notice, that ancient
prejudices would be removed without some
interval elapsing. It is unnecessary to trace
the various ameliorations brought forward by Lords
GREY and MELBOURNE, and subsequently by Sir
ROBERT PEEL and Lord JOHN RUSSELL, until the
last remnant of the atrocious penal code was, with all
but unanimity, expunged from our laws during the
past session. The heads of the two great parties who
could alone hope to be placed at the head of affairs,
to rule the helm of the vessel of the State, have now
cordially agreed on the principle by which Ireland is
henceforward to be governed, viz., that she is to be
placed on a footing of full and perfect equality with
England in her civil, political, and municipal institu-
tions. It may be hoped that when this great doc-
trine is fully carried out that jealousies will cease,
and that as there is nothing to be lost on the one side
or gained on the other, there will no longer be any
reason for those ridiculous antipathies, those absurd
quarrels, that have proved so injurious to the national
interests, that have impeded and interposed obstacles
to the attainment of every measure calculated to im-
prove
,the condition of the country. What is now
required by Ireland is, that all Irishmen should
lay aside their petty disputes and differences, and
labour zealously in the common cause ; the great

object now with
all parties should be the relief of
the existing distress, the consideration of the means
.. _

by which the people may be fed, and famine averted
from their shores. There is a glorious field for emu-
lation, for the exhibition of zeal and activity; let

us hope that it may be taken advantrge
of, and that none will hang back, or refuse to avail
themselves of beneficial suggestions, because they
may happen to emanate from those who have be(n

heretofore their political opponents. We regret to
observe that there is some exhibition of such a feel-
ing, and that in quarters from which we should have
hoped for better things. Many noblemen and gentle-
men have seceded from, and sent in their resignations
as members of, the Agricultural Society of Ireland,
in consequence of the partial suspension of the 14th
rule. We think that they have been premature in so
doing. Nothing could be more improper than the
introduction, in such a society, of abstract political
questions, which might and would lead to the ex-
pression of different views ; but, on the other hand,
nothing would be more proper than that an Agri-
cultural Society should take into their consideraticn
every measure likely to be submitted to Parliament
during the ensuing session, for the development of. the
agricultural resources of Irelanil.
We trust, therefore, that, until the privilege that
has been conceded for the discussion of such questions
should be in some manner abused, those whose
co-operation is so desirable will still remain mem-
bers of the society, :and act together fur the general
welfare. The society has heretofore united persons
of every shade of political opinion, let us hope that
such may still be the case, and that all who take an
active interest in the agricultural improvement of
Ireland may still remain enrolled in its ranks. We
do not question the motives of the seceders, but we
fear that the consequences of their act may be most
injurious to the country, and we call upon them to
pause before they adopt so decided a course.

A letter from Schleswig, of the 25th ult., says :
" Two resolutions came to yesterday by the States,
one for a new and separate constitution for the
Duchies, by a majority of 36 to 2 ; the other for the
incorporation of Schleswig with the Germanic Diet by
a majority of 34 to 3, have caused a great sensation
here; but it is said that they are contrary to the con-
stitution of the States, which require that all funda-
mental changes should emanate from the Government,
and in this case the royal commissioner withdrew
from the Chamber, after making his protest against
the motions as illegal."
By a recent decision of the Russian Government
all the peasants of Livonia who embrace the orthodox
creed are exonerated from the tithes which they paid
to their clergy, and as a further inducement to pro-
fess the religion of the State they are to be exempted
from taxes generally. The nobles of Livonia have
petitioned the EMPEROR to annul this decree, and,
waiting his decision, have engaged to pay to the
clergy the tithes which are refused by the peasantry.
The Voss Gazette, of the 26th ult., states, .from
Warsaw, that an extraordinary levy of recruits has
taken place there, under circumstances of great rigour.
It is asserted that the young men were torn from
their families during the night, and marched to
distant parts, from which they are never expected to
return.

The Aix la Chapelle Gazette, of the 28th ult., has
the following from Berlin, dated the 26th :—" It is
reported that a document has been discovered which
proves that the Royal House of Prussia has claims to
the succession of Schleswig and Holstein. It is
generally believed here that Prussia will insist on the
maintenance of the independence of the Duchies."
The Universal Prussian Gazette, of the 26th ult.,
in an article on the arguments that have appeared in
some of the foreign journals against the incorporation
of Cracow, says it can contradict, from the best
authority, the assertion that the Prussian Government
was actuated by a desire for an augmentation or
exchange of territory in connexion with the abolition
of the independence of Cracow. No pretension of
this kind, says the Gazette, was ever set up by Prussia
on the negotiations on the subject of Cracow.

Madrid journals to the 25th ult. have arrived

The principles of free trade are making rapid pro-
gress throughout Spain. According to the Espanol,
a free-trade association was formed at Cadiz during
the stay of Mr. COBDEN in that city; and the follow-
ing, from the Heraldo, which may be looked upon as
the financial programme of the Spanish Government,
is sufficient to inspire every free-trader with a hope
that the day is not far distant when the statute-
book of Spain will, like the statute book of England, pay
homage to the principles of common sense. " Our
most ardent wishes," says the Heraldo,
" will be accomplished, if, as we have reason to ex-
pect, the approaching Cortes shall be called to ac-
complish a liberal reform of our tariffs, so as to open
foreign markets for the wines and oils of our fertile
Andalusia, for the wheat of Castile, and for the
wool of La Mancha. If the first measure proposed
by the Government to the Cortes shall tend to a
diminution of the taxes which press upon landed
property, and if a more equal distribution of those
taxes be made, and if an impulse be given to the
works already commenced on our great lines of com-
munication ; and if, in fine, the Government shows
itself anxious to ameliorate the condition of all our
countrymen, we shall be satisfied."

Mr. COBDEN was at Malaga on the 19th o
November.

We have received the Paris papers of Tuesday.
The Journal des Debats has a long article excul-
patory of Austria in the affair of Cracow. The
writer, while combating the arguments of the
Austrian manifesto, is evidently anxious to make the
worst of his own case, and to excuse those whom he
pretends to attack.'
"We are persuaded," says the Journal des Debats,
that from 1772, to our days, it has been against her
will and against her interest that Austria participated
in the spoliation of Poland. We are persuaded that
she has ever seen and comprehended what was
her true policy, that which was at the same time
honourable and safe, but she has never pursued it;
she has ever suffered herself to be led astray,
seeing what was right and committing evil, being
ambitious against her will, and declaring it, but still
not succeeding in persuading the public of a disinte-
restedness which never appears, except by conditional
usurpations. It is to this false position—it is to this
constraint which the conscience of Austria suffers, that
we attribute the singular language of the two proclama-
tions published at Cracow when taking possession of the
territory of that ancient republic.
" There is something worse than to oppress weakness,
it is to calumniate it; this, however, is what the two
official documents which have been published on the
Cracow question do from one end to the other; and it
must be allowed that in imposing on Austria the care of
explaining the violation of the treaty of Vienna, and the
unjust and violent destruction of the independence of
Cracow, Prussia and Russia have not left it the most
excellent part in the affair. The mechant homme of 1772,
who duped so completely Maria Theresa in according
her all that she asked for, did nothing more maliciously
piquant than what Prussia, in concert with Russia, has
done to Austria. Is it not, in fact, an unfortunate equivo-
cation to say that Cracow has infringed the neutrality
which was the condition of her independence? The neu-
trality of Cracow, formally established by Art. 6 of the
treaty of Vienna, was a guarantee which the Powers gave
to each other. This meant, according to the treaty of
Vienna, that Cracow was never to be either Russian, or
Prussian, or Austrian, and it is on that account that in
Art. 6 of the treaty the independence of Cracow was
joined to her neutrality. But now it is in the very name
of this neutrality that the Powers destroy the indepen-
dence of Cracow. Strange abuse of reasoning ! And in
what has Cracow infringed this neutrality ? Has she
become Russian or Prussian with her own full consent ?
No I but she was invaded by the insurgent Poles, who
fixed there the seat of their ephemeral government !
Here, in truth, we do not know whom the Austrian Go-
vernment hopes to blind. The facts are recent ; they
passed in the open daylight. Whom, then, is it hoped
to deceive ? No, it was not the government of Cracow
which prepared the last Polish insurrection ; o, it was
not in Cracow that the conspiracy took place ;nwat
was fro
in
the Grand Duchy of Posen and in Galicia ; it
thence that the movement extended to Cracow,
and it
onl
was then that Cracow became the seat of the insurgenta
Government. Prussia, better informed than Austria.
prevented the movement that was about to burst out
in the Grand Duchy of Posen. Austria,
whatever
may be the reputation of her police, neither
knew nor
prevented the movement in Galicia, for God
forbid that
we should suppose that the Austrian police was aware of
the insurrection in Galicia, and did
not prevent it, in
order to repress and punish it by the hand of the pea-
sants. But if Austria was aware of nothing,
did pre-
vented nothing in Galicia, it was her want of foresight
which delivered up Cracow to the insurgents. Could
Cracow resist the insurrection of Galicia ? Nay, more;
•
Cracow, or at least the Government of Cracow,
did all
it could to escape from the insurrection. It appealed to
the Austrians, and the Austrians entered Cracow before
the insurrection ; a proclamation of the Senate declared
that it was on its demand that General Collin had taken
possession of the city. The Senate of Cracow, therefore,
had acted quite correctly, since on the news of the plots
in Posen it had called on the Austrians to occupy
Cra-
co
w. Whence came it that General Collin, master of
the place, quitted it all at once ? He quitted it on
learning the insurrection in Galicia. When once
abandoned by the Austrians, Cracow fell into the power
of the insurgents, for the Senate could not defend it.
Such are the facts as they were read in the month of
March last by all Europe ; and eight months have
scarcely passed away when it is wanted to disfigure them

I and to transform Cracow into a hotbed of con,Tiraciec:
I and insurgents. Ridiculous fictions, contradicted b) ite‘
public memory and by conviction !"
The French protest against the annexation of
Cracow has not yet been dispatched, nay, it is said the
terms of it have not yet been considered in the Ca-
binet. In the political salons of Paris it is openly
stated that LOUIS PHILIPPE and M. GUIZOT were
both perfectly cognizant of the intention to anne.
Cracow, that, in fact, Cracow was a part of the price
agreed by LOUIS PHILIPPE to be paid to Austria to
purchase her support to the MONTPENSIER marriage,
but that it was only part of the price. To
the private and pecuniary interests of his
family, Louis PHILIPPE has sacrificed, TO'
only the nationality of Poland, but t h
regeneration of Italy; and the repression of the spirit
of liberal reform manifested by the POPE, together
with the restoration of Austrian rule and influence
throughout the Italian Peninsula, is another portion
of the price which the French KING has consented to
pay to secure the throne of Spain to the children of
his youngest son. From the following article in the
Revue des Deux Mondes, the organ of M. GUIZOT,
it appears that the protest of France is to be couched
in very "holiday and lady terms," to quote the
words of the writer. " She cannot think of throwing
out threatening words and words of defiance."
" That which is most essential," says the Revue des
Deux Mondes, "is that France in its protest shall notify
the violation of treaties, and that she point out all the
consequence which the resolution of the Northern
Powers opens to her profit. She must declare that she
reserves to herself for the future to consult only, as re-
gards those treaties, her own convenience and the neces-
sities of her policy. France will preserve an attitude of
observation. She cannot think of throwing out threat-
ening words and words of defiance. Who would wish
seriously to see in the resolution of the Three Powers a
casus belli? It is only the exaltation of parties which
can answer by a cry of propagandism to the Cracow
coup d'etat. The only reply which becomes a great
country is in the firmness with which it will practice the
policy of independence and isolation which circumstances
create for it. To be at peace with the whole world,
without entertaining enmity to any one—such ought to
be our attitude; and we shall have by that means at
least liberty of action."
The Infant Don ENRIQUE left Paris for Madrid on
Monday, having, according to the National, addressed
to Queen CHRISTINA, under the form of retractation, a
humble supplication, written under the dictation of
the Tuileries, in which he requested to be allowed to
return to the favour of Queen ISABELLA and the
mother of his august sister-in-law. This is bad
enough ; but this is not the worst. If the .Esprit
Public is rightly informed, Don ENRIQUE transcends
even his brother Bourbon, the Prince DE CARIGNAC
of 1820, in baseness. The Esprit Public says—
" Well-informed persons assure us that his departure
was preceded by an act so ignominious, that in spite of
the certainty of our information, we can scarcely credit
it. This prince, as is known, held an active and confi-
dential correspondence with the leading members of the
Progressista party in Spain. It is said that he has de
livered up this correspondence, and has betrayed the
secrets of all those who had put themselves under the
shelter of his discretion and his honour."
A magnificent fete is to be given to the Bey of
Turns on Friday evening by M. GUIZOT. In rela-
tion to this fete the Constitutionnel says—
" M. Guizot has hardly had time to send out all his
invitations for the concert he is about to give on Friday
next, in honour of the Bey of Tunis, before it is an-
nounced that several members of the diplomatic body,
and among them the Austrian and English Ambassa-
dors, will not he present, because neither Austria, Eng-
land, nor the other Powers acknowledge the Bey aol
Sovereign Prince, in which light he has been received in
Paris."

The Moniteur states, that "the situation of the
department of the north, with respect to provisions,
' is by no means so unfavourable as it was represented
to be two months since. It was apprehended at that
time that the wheat crop would have been one-fifth
less than in ordinary years; but it is at present as-
certained that the diminution is insignificant, and
fully compensated by the superior weight of the
grain. This explains the successive fall which has
taken place in the price of wheat throughout the de-
partment during the last fifteen days. The crop of
barley and oats is below the usual average. Potatoes
are less in quantity than last year, but that compara-
tive deficiency is fully compensated by the superior
quality of the crop of the present year."
The same official paper publishes the returns fur-
nished by the Minister of Commerce of the average
price of wheat in the different markets throughout
France during the month of November last, by
which it appears that the price of wheat was 22f.
70c. in the markets of St. Lo, Paimpol, Quim per,
Hennebon, and Nantes, being the lowest average
in France, and 34f. 17c. the hectolitre in the markets
of Mulhausen and Strasburg, being the highest.
The Moniteur subsequently states that there were
imported 1,373,300 hectolitres of wheat into the port
of Marseilles between the 26th of October and the
24th of November last.
The drain for bullion on the Bank of France still
continues. It was stated on Monday that there was
only 3,200,0001. left in their coffers. The withdrawal
of the deposits from the Savings'• bank of Paris, also
continues. The amount of withdrawals during the
last week exceeded the amount of deposits by
17,0001.
The Phare des Pyrene'es publishes a letter from the
frontiers of Catalonia, dated Nov. 26, which says—
" The battle which took place on the 21st between the
Royal troops and a Carlist band in the neighbourhood
of Bauolas, was rather serious. Two companies of the
regiment of Valencia found themselves engaged with
300 Carlists." " This account," adds the Phare des
Pyrenies, " which does not possess all the character of
authenticity which is desirable, is not, however, without
foundation."

According to a letter from Manreza, published in
the Emancipation, of Toulouse, a band of 200
Carlists, under the command of a son of the celebrated
PEXTOT, was at Navarelles on the 10th ult., cpm-
pletely armed, and with plenty of money. They paid
for everything they consumed.
The project of establishing a line of steamers be-
tween Havre and New York has been abandoned.

CALEDONIAN ASYLUM.
(THIS DAY.)
The quarterly general court of the Managing Board
of the Caledonian Asylum, established for educating
and clothing the children of destitute and deserving
Scotchmen residing in the metropolis, was held this af-
ternoon, at the Scottish Hospital, Crane-court, Fleet-
street, Mr. James A. Simpson, Vice-President of the
Board, in the chair.
The minutes of the previous courts were read and
confirmed.. At one of the courts a committee was ap-
pointed to draw up a resolution, lamenting the death of
the late Mr. P. M. Stewart, M.P., one of the most
liberal patrons of the institution ; and subsequently
a resolution of condolence was agreed to be
presented to Lady Shaw Stewart, on the loss of so
excellent a son ; the Duke of Buccleuch, as president of
the institution, undertaking to convey it to that much-
respected lady.
The SECRETARY stated that it had been agreed by the
board this morning to elect eleven boys and five girls
next June ; at present there were eighty boys and
thirty-four girls participating in the bounties of the
institution. It was proposed to 'day to elect twelve more,
six boys and six girls.
Mr. LINDSEY remarked that there were 32 candidates,
all very excellent boys and girls, whose title to be elected
admitted of no doubt whatever, and yet, from the low
state of their funds, they were only capable of relieving
12 of the 32 cases. There were 80 boys and 34 girls
in the asylum, but when the 12 were elected to-day
there would be 86 boys and 40 girls. Before June next
seven boys would quit the institution, and then the num-
bers would be 79 boys and 40 girls. In June it was pro-
posed to elect 11 boys and 5 girls, making 90 boys and
45 girls, or a total of 135 recipients of the charity of
the institution. Now, if their income were a little
larger, they could relieve all the actual cases of distress
he had mentioned. They had the ability, but not the
power, to do so. They had ample room, but not the
funds, and therefore he advocated a further appeal to the
public.

- Captain LARMONT thought that another appeal ought
to be made to the public, and the best way to do it was
to follow the example of the Infant Orphan Asylum and
;he St. Ann's Society. _ _

The CHAIRMAN stated that the asylum had upwards
of 21,000/. of stock. Fifteen hundred had been sold
out in the course of the year, and it was now proposed
to take powers to sell out another 1,0001. He might
add, however, that it probably would not be wanted till
next March.

A resolution to that effect was accorningly proposed
and unanimously agreed to.
Mr. HODGES moved that in future the votes of un-
successful candidates should be carried over and used at
all succeeding elections ; but an amendment was pro-
posed postponing the motio❑ until the next court, which
was carried after a slight discussion.
A vote of thanks was then passed to the chairman,
and the meeting broko up.
