to expect a decided improvement in trade.
ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, APRIL 14.—There
has been very little done in sales of wool this week.
Prices are in a great measure nominal.
WOOLLEN TRADE OP LEEDS..--We have had very dun
markets at our cloth-halls both on Saturday and T9et•
day. The unsettled state of the continent has a senoras
effect upon our foreign trade, whilst, at the same time,
the Chartist agitation in London, and in some of the
large towns, has almost paralysed the home trade. Front
these causes there has been a very trifling amount of
business done since this day week. The stocks being
low in the manufacturers' hands keep prices steady.
Few buyers have been in the town from the same cause,
and, in consequence, business has been exceedingly dull
in the warehouse.

March, when the trade showed symptoms of a marked
improvement. The prices being exceedingly low, deters
the spinners from producing. Pieces—This branch of
our trade, for some time past, has been nearly confined
to the home merchants, who have been doing more than
an average business for the spring trade. Paramattas
are steadily moving off in limited parcels.

Coastwise, the arrivals of potatoes since this 1;y• se'n-
night have been seasonably good, and of fair average
quality. By land carriage, they have been but mode-
rate. The imports from abroad have consisted of about
40 tons from Rotterdam, 235 ditto from Antwerp, 437
ditto from llamburgh, 97 ditto from Ostend, and 110
ditto from Lsrwen. The trade is decidedly heavy, and
prices are not supported.

POSEN.

he Commission for re-organizing the Gralici
Duchy of Posen, have come to the following resolu-
tions :—They propose to place a Pole at the head of
the administration. A corps d'armee shall be organized
in the Grand Duchy, and the officers shall be chosen
by the soldiers, who will be permitted to wear the
Polish cockade, and Polish officers returning from
abroad, or from other service, will hold the same
rank if they choose to join; the landwehr to be
newly organized, and all troops not natives of the
Duchy to be withdrawn. It is said that this ar-
rangement, which it was hoped would satisfy the
Poles, has received the sanction of the KING. On
the morning of the 10th, at three o'clock, a force,
consisting of 3,000 infantry, three batteries, some
howitzers, and two squadrons of horse, marched for
Schroda, about fifteen English miles from Posen, in
order to take the town by assault. It is occupied by
between 15,000 and 20,000 armed Poles.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
Letters from Kiel of the 11th inst. state that the
Danish troops have effected a landing in Kiel Bay.
The corps, jagers, students, and volunteers of Schles-
wig-Holstein have been annihilated, all who were
not killed in the great battle of Sunday week having
been taken prisoners by the Danes.

The retreat of the Schleswig-Holstein troops from
Flensborg was very disorderly. The position of the
of tile Duchier, wheo attacked by the Diol
near Bau, extended partly along the Bay of Husum,
partly along the Bay of Flonsborg, towards Ultiolo-

TO ALPHONSE DE LAMARTINE.

France, in her future annals, shall set down
This blazoned work on Freedom's battle-field,
And show how men can step and crush a Crown,
When puppet Kings ask more than mea should yield.
Her almost bloodless victory shall be
A sacred lesson to earth's latest hour;
And all who would be greatly, bravely free,
Must give her noble watchword, "Peace is Power."
Thou, Lamartine! her gentle Poet One,
With heart all mercy, and with speech all truth,
Whose lays we love to hear at evening hour
Breathed by some happy maid, or dreaming youth
Thou halt arisen in Confusion's roar,
Mid chafing people and a burning throne,
Stopping the reeking tide of Slaughter's gore,
Lulling to sleep the cannon's thunder tone;
Thou hast stood forth with firm, unfearing breast,
While Discord's steel was flashing round thy brow,
Proving that minstrel eloquence can wrest
The poisoned arrow from the beaded bow.
GOD keep the form of Liberty arrayed
In her bright garments of primeval white;
Each blood dyed stain of purple that is made,
Sullies the high divinity of " Right."
But come what may, of evil or of wrong,
Ere the dark, teeming clouds of Doubt depart—
Thou, Lamartine! as great in deeds as song,
Hest wisely, promptly, done thy mighty part.
Let France bo proud in claiming such a son,
Kings, empires, dynasties, fall and rot;
But Spirits such as thine, thou Poet One,
Hold the unmeasured life that dieth not!

PRUSSIA.

An Extraordinary Supplement to the. Prussian
Slates Gazette of the 2341, atujoiinces the .following
important intelligence' From official information
which has but this moment arrived, the Danish Go-
vernment has given, orders, under date of the 19th, to
detain all German vessels which may be lying in
the Danish seaports, and to seize all Prussian mer.
chantmen."
A letter from Konigsberg of the 20th, in the
Cologne Gazelle, states that, the Fort and fortress of
Pillau has been put into a satisfactory state of defence,
so that any attack from the sea can be vigorously re-
pulsed. No shipping business whatever is going on
in that port, partly on account of the danger threat-
ening from the attacks of the Danes, and partly
because no corn whatever has been imported from
Poland and Russia.
The electoral committee of Catholics at Cologne
have just voted (24th) an address to the KING, in
which they declare, that although opposed to the in-
direct elections, they ask for the sake of order, and
out of respect to the existing-laws, that the approach-
ing elections may take place in the mode marked out
by the electoral law, as it at present is.

FRANKFORT-ON-THE-MAINE.
On the 23d of April the Committee of Fifty-six

a protracted and violent debate :
The first of May is to be maintained as the day
fixed by the Preparatory Assembly for the meeting of
the Constituent Assembly. The. constitution of the
Assembly will depend upon the -number of deputies
already arrived. This
,constitution must, at all
events, be complete betere the 18th of May 'next.
The Committee is to require the Germanic Diet to
abstain from
.any, ;further decision in this respect.
The last resolution was adopted by 22 members
against 21.,
The Cpuunittee resolved also unanimously that
. ,
Ithe President is to insist upon the completion of the
Diet, as most of the former members of that Federal
body have ceased to sit, and no new Deputies have
been appoiqted in their'plice.
The Germanic biet had also a sitting yesterday.
The Prussian Envoy proposed the admission into the
Germanic Diet, conformably to the wish of the in.
habitants, of several districts of the Grand Duchy

SWITZERLAND.

A letter from Basle of the 22d states that the rebel
lIEcx.ER, who had taken refuge there after his defeat
by the troops of Wurtemburg, had received orders to
quit. It was rumoured at Basle that STRUVE and
HERWEGH had also made their appearance there to
raise recruits among the Germans. On the 21st a
band of 2,500 Germans, commanded by SIEGER DE
SCROFFEIN, assembled at Basle, rather better armed,
it is said, than the band which HECKER had com-
manded, but on the news of the defeat of lI.EcKER,
and the approach of the troops of Bavaria and Wur-
temburg, they made a hasty march towards Schonau.

A letter from .Berne of the 22d says —" The Diet
has adjourned its sittings to May 12. Before
separating it adopted the report of the Committee
charged with the distribution of the sums subscribed
in favour of the victims of the war against the
Sonderbund. It referred to a Committee the
demand of the Cantons of Uri, Schwitz, Zug,
and Underwalden, to have the sequestration taken
off which had been placed on the ammunition and
stores belonging to them, and seized on at Tessino.
It also heard s everal communications relative to
the events occurring in Germany. A personage,

MARKET NEWS.-( THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHAN GE—FRIDAY.
Since Monday the arrivals of English Wheat, coast-
wise, as well as by hind carriage, have been very mode-
rate. To day the show of samples of both red and
white was very small. Although the accounts received
to-day are unfavourable as regards the appearance of
the winter wheats, the demand for all kinds of Wheat
of home produce, owing to the pressure of foreign par-
cels, was by no means active; yet previous rates were
steadily supported in every instance. Nearly 12,000
quarters of toreign Wheat have come in this week. Fine
parcels moved off steadily; other kinds slowly, at late
rates. Fine Bailey, both English and Foreign—com-
manded a ready sale, at extreme currencies; and the
value of other kinds was well supported. Malt was in
steady request, but we have no improvement to notice
in value. Oats and Beans moved off steadily, at full
prices. Peas, Indian Corn, and Flour ruled about sta-
tionary.

LONDON, FRIDAY, APRIL 23, 1848.

Afflicting intelligence is now continually arriving
from the seat of war between
dip Denmark and the Ger-
manic Confederation. One
tatch contains a ru-
mour of the sudden death of F:Ealcru-
mouran attack of bronchitis. Anothern VII., from
recounts a pro-
longed and sanguinary struggle before chief
city of the Scandinavian Duchy of
struggle which is presumed to have terminated in
the capture of that city by the Prussians.
the vicissitudQs of the conflict cannot be expecteod to
ugh
bring the question at issue one jot nearer its settle-
ment, it is impossible not to regard with redoubled
interest a kingdom, the integrity of which has been
so shamelessly imperilled, and the nationality of which
has been so unjustifiably threatened with destruction.
Every additional disaster to the Danish armament
merely tends to add poignancy to our indignation.
That Prus-sia, has drawn the sword of spoliation on
the aortheAm banks of the Eider—that Hanover has
advanced i n the van of this lawless expedition—that
Alecklenbutrgh has abetted the cause of dismember-
ment—that adventurers and propagandists, as desti-
tute in principle as in pence, have swelled the ranks
of the invedin3 army—are only so many supple-
mentary argutne,its against the justice of this fede-
rative conspiracy. It has by no means advanced the
