ITHE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY MORNING; DECEMBEttr2, 1846:

liberated kingdoms of Europe, they look to the
honour and the magnanimity of flourishing nations,
they look to those Governments which are based
upon the adamant of freedom and enlightenment.
From these they expect the vindication pf their un-
merited woes.

Upon the movements and intentions of the Ad-
ministrations of London and Paris there are a thou-
sand conjectures, but few that are entitled to a mo-
ment's consideration. The Cracow annexation has
actually jeopardised the very existence of the Guizot
Ministry. Rumours innumerable are floating about
the vicinity of the Tuileries, and it is now
tolerably certain that the proposed successor
of M. GUIZOT is the statesman whose eva-
cuation of Ancona has rendered his name
somewhat unpopular amongst his warlike country-
men. We allude of course to Count MAE. There
is unquestionably much sagacity in that insinuation
of the Courrier Francais, that M. TmiEßs, amidst all
these official arrangements, is merely " lurking be-
hind the scenes, waiting to mount upon the stage" im-
mediately there is any favourable opportunity. There
is a preposterous corollary, however, t' these reports
in relation to the protest said to have been forwarded
to Lord PONSONDY, at Vienna, by her MAJEsTy's
Minister for Foreign Affdirs. The explanaion given
in the Parisian press of the character and tone of this
supposititious document is manifestly inconsistet t
and improbable ; and is not assuredly the EngliSh
remonstrance at the atrocious convention of the Gth of
November. Of that convention the only apology pub-
' fished under the auspices of the Northern patricide
is the article inserted in the Austrian Observer of the
20th ultimo—an article founded upon the doctrines of
despotism, feudalism, ignorance, depravity, and expe-
diency. It is only by snapping their fingers at all
moral and Divine law that the Austrian and Rut-
sian Emperors can maintain the advisability of such
proceedings as the incorporation of Cracow with the
territories of the Kaiser FERDINAND. It is only by
deriding all the holiest laws of nature and revelation
that they can have the audacity to insist upon the
justice of their behaviour.

Let the spoilers of Eastern Europe hearken to the
cry of the banished countrymen of SOBIESKY, let them
listen to the voice of those whose souls are ani-
mated with the great memory of KosclusKo. It

proclaims :
"You have seen Poland protest in arms on a hundred
fields of battle—you will see it again ; she prepares her-
self for fresh struggles, and this list attack on her, by
causing her efforts to be redoubled, will hasten her de-
liverance.

"The treaty of Vh•m,a no longer remains to Europe ;
that part of spoliation, which was never bindinr, ou
Poland has been destroyed, by its very authors. In its
place will arise a more powerful alliance of people, which
nothing will rend asunder."

Those threats may appear impossible of accom-
plishment to the monarchs of Russia, Prussia, and
Austria at this moment, but a persistance in their
foregoing atrocities will ultimately render such
threats no longer contemptible. The Northern
Powers must be warned by the reflection that the
laws of GOD and man cannot be scorned for ever
with impunity.

What is to be done with Ireland ? The question
has been repeated for years. No matter how great is
the sum of legislation for Ireland comprised within
even the last quarter of a century—no matter how
large the boon, be it essentially political, social, or
purely pecuniary, for which the Irish have thundered,
and not in vain, at the doors of the United Parlia-
inent,—no matter how intensely successive Cabinets,
whether swayed by the genius of a CANNING, GREY,
MELBOURNE, PEEL, or Itu3sELL, have devoted their
energies to the political redemption of the sister
isle—no matter how much of the time of each session
has been given up, and in an increased ratio, with the
view of mastering her difficulties,—every year the cry
seems to become louder, and the question to be
more emphatically put, of what is to be done
with Ireland? As yet all would appear to have
been in vain. A variety of treatment has, in turn
been resorted to, but always with an illusory result;
The coercive and the lenitive system, the rigorous
and the ameliorative, has been, as it were, by fits and
starts, adopted, and yet, with all our endeavours to
lay the foundations of peace and prosperity, we appear
to have been only grasping at shadows.

of the distracted condition of Ireland, and of the
perplexity of attempting to improve it, it would be
found in the discordant views which the Irish them-.
selves take of the state of their country, and in the
nature of the suggestions, for the most part crude=
wild, and efficient, which are propounded on all sides
for its improvement. It is a medical rule, that when
a man is sick, he should never prescribe for him-
self. Yet, in Ireland, where the body politic
is so deeply affected, and different parties
are severally willing to quack themselves with some 1
peculiar nostrum, the notion is entertained by a large
body of the inhabitants that, with a domestic legis-
lature, all their ailments would cease; that if they
had only the power of swallowing every political
dose as rapidly as it could be compounded, Ireland
would be completely revivified. It is well for Ireland
that she has Great Britain to advise and control her
in her hours of affliction and disquietude.

The intelligence from the other side of St. George's
Channel is by no means inspiriting. Severe destitu-
tion continues to prevail, particularly to the south-
ward and westward, and the impositions that have
been practised upon the relief committees, by whom
persons have been employed on public works, whose
circumstances are not sufficiently distressed to entitle
them to relief, to the exclusion and prejudice of others
whose want is excessive, have in many parts spread a
a spirit of dissatisfaction and disaffection which must
be promptly allayed. This, we have no doubt, will
be quickly accomplished, as every devisable means is
being followed up with alacrity for expelling these
cunning and heartless intruders upon the benevolent
resources of the public.

There is nothing, however, we regard with so much
of apprehension as to their probable consequences
unless immediately and authoritatively discounter
nanced, than the recent:proceedings of the gentry in
the county of Clare. The board of guardians for
the union of Kilrush have passed resolutions, and
addressed a memorial to the Prime Minister, reco;n-
mendatory of a wholesale scheme of emigra-
tion, as the best method of relieving Ireland
from its cumulative destitution. They suggest
that the present remedies of the Government
are utterly inadequate to meet the calamities
of the country, and therefore jump to the conclusion
that thousands must be shipped off from their father.
land 'to cultivate large unreclaimed tracts of our
colonies. It may be true, and we have been of those
who have indicated the necessity, that—to use the
words of the memorial—" some more effective and
permanent measures" are required to get rid of the
universal pauperism, with its concomitant evils, of
Ireland. But, " the more haste the worst speed," and
notwithstanding the memorialists allege they have
ominutely investigated" the state of their electoral
divisions, which has led them to " hasten to lay their
deep conviction before the Executive, and not to
hesitate to suggest an extensive system of emigration
by families," we dislike the precipitateness w ith
which they have arrived at their conclusions, and
unreservedly impugn the soundness of their judg-
ment. What ! are the landed proprietors to
turn round upon a hardy race of peasantry, and,
addressing them like so many cattle or bestial droves,
to exclaim, " There are too many of you here; be
off to the nearest ports ; ships are there lying in
readiness to transport you to other climes. Food
and labour may or will be within your reach on
strange shores, but, believe us, that at home, the land
of your birthright, and that of your forefathers, you
look for these primitive blessings in vain." We
warn the landed gentry of Ireland against counte-
nancing for a moment any such project, one so re-
volting to the social feelings of any population, and
particularly to so excitable an one as the Irish.
Once let their language and councils take this

direction, and the torch of rebellion will he lighted
up from one end of Ireland to the other. Such a

storm would arise as would not
,be easily hushed.
To propose to embark thousands to reclaim
the earth of strangers, whilst millions of waste
acres surround their own homesteads, is an idea the
madness of which lies palpably on the surface. Again,
the expense attendant upon it would be infinitely
greater than what could be incurred by inviting the
industrious and willing poor to drive the plough
through their own native soil. Emigration, as one of

a series of remedial measures, and when conducted
upon a scale of liberality and benevolence, might
undoubtedly present attractive advantages ; but, to
suggest it, at a moment like this, and in an isolated
shape, when the people are on the brink of famine, is
one of the most dangerous propositions that could be
started. And this we press upon the attention of the
landed proprietary, that if they are favourable, as they
profess, and we believe them to be, to the maintenance
of the Union, they could do nothing more calculated
to strengthen the repeal of it, than by yielding their
consent to wholesale emigration. We adjure " the
constituted guardians of the poor" in Clare and other
counties to be wise in time.

Madrid papers of the 23d have been received.

The Her aldo admits that a Carlist band has ap-
peared in the neighbourhood of Gerona, but professes
to entertain no apprehension of any serious conse-
quences. There was some excitement on the subject
of the approaching Madrid elections. Senor MON,
the Finance Minister, who represents one of the dis-
tricts of Madrid, will be opposed by a formidable
competitor, viz., Senor SALAMANCA, the rich banker.

We have received the Paris papers of Sunday.
The Journal des Debuts publishes a letter from
London, dated the 27th of November, which gives
the following as the substance of Lord PALNIER•
STON'S protest against the annexation of Cracow :
" Lord Palmerston yesterday dispatched to Lord
Ponaonby, the English Ambassador at Vienna, the pro-
test for some days past talked of, against the coup d'ictet
with which the city of Cracow has been visited. In this
long document, which is drawn up in dry and cold terms,
Lord Palmerston argues on the supposition that the
usurpation of Cracow is, as yet, but a project, and
strives to point oat the inconvcniens of such a measure.
Ile next discusses the two questions of right and neces-
sity. As regards the question of right, he urges, ap-
pealing to the text of the treaties, that the stipulations
agreed to in a solemn engagement by eight Powers
cannot be modified and annulled by three of them. As
regards the question of necessity, Lord Palmerston
does not admit the resolution which northern courts
seem willing to adept. That three of the most
powerful States of Europe should invoke necessity
to destroy the existence of a poor little republic, the
population of which rtckons not 130,000 souls, is inad-
missible. The Powers also complain of Cracow having
become a focus of conspiracies and political intrigues;
but, admitting the reality of the allegation, two supposi
tions present themselves—either those conT;raton are
people belonging to the country, or they have come from
other parts. In the second case, it is not Cracow, bu'
the Powers themselves who are to be blamed, inasmuch
as their territories surround on all sides that of the
repub:ie. In the first case, is it possible to believe that
such a city as Cracow would refuse, on the demand of
three such Powers as Prussia, Austria, and Russia, to
check the conspiracies, and put an end to the intrigues
of which those Powers would then have such just reason
to complain; and, if it committed the fully of not com-
plying, what difficulty could ever be encountered by the
three Powers thus reduced, to take justice into their own
hands within the limits of the treaties?

" Such, it is said, is pretty nearly the protest of the
English Minister for Foreign Affsirs. A copy of this
document has teen also dispatched to Lord Normauby,
in order that it be communicated to M. Guizot."

It would appear, from an article in the Courtier
F.rancais, that the Ministerial crisis is over, and that
M. GUIZOT remains in office. According to the
Courrier the choice was only between M. GUIZOT and
Count MOLE, between whom there is scarcely any
perceptible difference :
" By his concessions and pusillanimity, M. Guirit has
encouraged the Absolutist Powers to consummate the
most revolting iniquity. And who is designed as a suc-
cessor, when the France of July shudders with impa •
tience and indignation, and burns with revenge ? Count
M&e !—the man who evacuated Ancona ; the man, who,
at our very gates, allowed a portion of the territory of
Belgium to be mutilated ;—the man, finally, whom M.
Guizot himself, during the storms of the coalition, ac-
cused from the tribune, and with justice, of having suf-
fered the dignity of the country to be degraded on all the
points of Europe, where international questions were
agitated. M. Guizot or M. Mole ! The 15th of April
or the 29th of October ! Behold the alternative held
out to France, when she is insulted and defied beycnd
her frontiers, and when to punish such insolence she
would require all her energy and patriotism."
If the following, which is the conclusion of the
same article, is to be believed, M. GUIZOT'S threats
last week against the Northern Powers were mere
words "full of sound and fury, signifying nothing":—
" M. Guizot keeps his portfolio, and, as it is no more
contemplated—we do not say to act against the Northern
J. uwerx, oae
tion, we may now appreciate the value of those trans.
ports of rage of which the Ministerial journals offered
to us the spectacle during some days. It was on the 6th
of November that the Powers signed their monstrous
convention ; and, although twenty-three days have since
elapsed, France hag not yet even expressed her displea-
sure. Our rulers await, or rather pretend to await, that
England come to a resolution, as if, in such a question,
France was not bound to assume the initiative ! As if
England, in spite of herself, will not be compelled to
follow the example set to her by France !"

M. GUIZOT has, it is said, protested, but it is tole-
rably certain that he will do no more.
A protest against the annexation of Cracow, from
the Central Polish Committee of Paris, signed by
Count DE LASTEYRIE, the President, and by M.
VAYIN, the Secretary, a Member of the Chamber of
Deputies is published in the Courrier Francais of
Sunday.
Provision riots are taking place in the French pro-
vinces; the distress consequent on the scarcity of
food is becoming general, and in many of the de-
partments is driving the people to desperation. At
Chateaurenault and at Azay le Rideau, a mob of 600
persons took forcible possession of the market-place,
notwithstanding the presence of a brigade of gen-
darmerie, and forced the farmers to sell their corn at
two francs a bushel, and in many cases carried it a
without paying for it at all. They also took
possession of the grain stores, and sold all the wheat
they contained.
The Reforme states that there has been a rise dur-
ing the last week in the price of wheat, in the corn-
markets of Bergerac, Montlucon, Treguier, Luneville,
Bayeux, and Charmes, averaging 50 centimes the
hectolitre; whilst there has teen a fall in the corn-
markets of Louviers, Lille, Vic-sur-Ainse, Coulom•
miers, averaging If. the hectolitre.

The Three per Cents. were done in the Passage de l'Opdra,
on Sunday, at 82f. sc.

ELIZA COOK.—We observe with pleasure the an-
nouncement of the intention of the proprietors of the
Weekly Dispatch newspaper to present their sub-
scribers with a likeness of this distinguished poetess.
Those who have lingered over the beauties of
" Melaia," who have laughed at the exuberant
sprightliness of her satirical pieces, and who have
been moved to tears by her tender and pathetic
ballads, will welcome so suitable a memento of this
eminent songstress. And they will welcome it none
the less because it is copied from a portrait which is
acknowledged to be absolutely marvellous for its
vraisemblance, representing not merely the moulding
of her poetic head and features, but the indefinable
expression of intelligence and gentleness by which
the latter are illumined. The popularity of the
writings of Miss ELIZA COOK—a popularity which
is diffused among the million both in the cities and
the homesteads—is attributable to no adventitious
aid, it is owing to no spurious ebullition of feeling,
it has originated alone in the merits of those charm-
ing compositions. They have won their own way,
and they have acquired so much celebrity because
their authoress does not content herself with penning
glib rhythm and melodious rhyme; she does more—
she writes from the dictates of a warm and over-
flowing heart. Those who have read her lighter
productions know that she can evoke our laughter.
Those who have read the " Old Arm Chair"—and
who has not ?—know that, when she lists, she can
make us weep. With the true alchemy of a poet,
she invests even the meanest thing with a golden and
enduring beauty. It is an appropriate and graceful
act on the part of the proprietors of the Weekly
Dispatch—an act equally appropriate and graceful to
their subscribers and contributor—to issue the por-
trait of a lady who has so frequently adorned their
column:, by her genius.

TOBACCO AND SNUFF.—By a recently :issued
Parliamentary return it appears that there are as many as
202,051 licensed dealers in tobacco and snuff in the
United Kingdom. In England there are 170,048; II
Ireland, 16,601; and in Scotland, 15,402. From an ex-
amination of the paper it seems that there are 12,938
dealers in London, and that the number within test miles
of the Excise Office is 23,807.

AMERICAN NEWS.

FIFTEEN DAYS LATER.

ARRIVAL OF THE BRITANNIA.
(IROM OUR CORRESP3NDENT.)
LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY.
The Royal Mail steam-ship Britannia, Captain Hewett
arrived here from Boston and Halifax, after a passage if
144 days, with news to the 18th ult. She had 28 pas-
sengers.
The Acadia arrived at Halifax on the 15th, after a
passage of 11 days.
The news by this arrival is not important, and may be
briefly summed up as follows :
The taking of the Government loan of $5,000,000, for
the prosecution of the war with Mexico, and the elections
which have taken place in several of the States, are the
leading events of importance which have occurred since
the departure of the steamer of the Ist. The intelligence
of the capture of Monterey has already been announced,
and no further movement has since been made by the army.
It is understood that additional dispatches from General
Taylor, to those published, have been received at Wash-
ington, but they have not yet been published. A list,
howevi r, of the killed and wounded during the three
days' engagement, which resulted in the surrender of
the town, has found its way to the public, from which it
appears that the aggregate American loss on that occa-
sion was 493, of whom 124 were killed. An immense
amount of ammunition, arms, &c., was surrendered by
the Mexican General.
The most recent intelligence from General Taylor ren-
ders it nearly certain that he will not immediately ad-
vance any farther, though it is probably the intention of
the Government that he should take possession of Saltillo
and perhaps of San Luis Potosi. If he can hold either or
both of these points, be will doubtless do so ; but the
general belief now is, that his march towards the city of
Mexico will end there.
Our advices from Vera Cruz are to the 7th of October.
The news of the surrender of Monterey had reached
Mexico, where it created a good deal of excitement. No-
thing like discouragement, however, was manifested by
either the people or the Government. On all sides there
was still nn apparent enthusiasm in defence of the
country, and a demand for renewed exertions to prose-
cute the war. It is not easy to see, however, in what
way tLis determination is to be carried into effect, for all
the exertions of the Government ti raise money had
proved ineffectual, and Santa Anna had left the capital
for the frontier, at the head of only 2,000 cavalry and
1,000 infantry, with a military chest sof 27,000 dollars.
The people seem in truth insensible to any reverses,
which do not reach their immediate homes; and the
loss of Monterey is regarded with an indiff-reuce which
betrays the stolid and unintelligent character of the im-
pulses and feelings by which they are governed. It is
supposed that the Mexicans wili make a stand at Saltillo,
and, if driven thence, fortify San Luis Potosi against the
American force.
It is supposed that, while the attention of the Mexi-
cans is thus fixed upon their north-eastern frontier, en
attempt will be made upon them from another quarter.
An attack has been ordered upon Tampico, which is
400 miles south of Matamoras and 200 east of San Luis
Potosi. If this place be taken and San Luis also, sup-
plies may easily be introduced into Mexico proper,
should the army march thither. Another attack, it is
said, was to have been made on Alvarado on the 11th, by
the squadron. The Tennessee and Kentucky cavalry
have been ordered to proceed to Matamoras, and thence
to Tampico ; whence they are to march to Vera Cruz.
to aid in a contemplated attack upon that city. This is
the programme of future operations in that quarter,fic-
.:urding to the most reliable accounts. An impression
however, has been gaining ground of late, that nothing,
further will be done towards an active prosecution of
the war until the meeting of Congress in December :
and that the whole matter will then be submitted to that
body.
On the Western frontier meantime, Gen. Kearney
is marching from Santa Fe to California, while
Gen. Wool, with fire thousand men, is proceed-
ing west to Chihuahua, which is five hundred miles
north of Monterey. Their combined forces will
easily hold all the commanding positions north of the
Gulf of California. Col. Mason, of the Ist Regiment of
Dragoons, has been sent to Monterey, on the Pacific
coast, to supersede Col. Stevenson in the command of
the California regiment of volunteers, which recently
sailed from th':s city.
Elections have been held, within the last fortnight, in
the States of New York, Massachusetts, New Jersey,
Michigan, lowa, and Delaware. In New New York the
Whigs have achieved a signal triumph, having elected
23 Whigs out of the 34 to which the State is entitled.
No further election for members of Congress is to take
place until March, and the complexion of the next Con-
gress, which commences its session on the 4th of March
next, is now to some extent understood. The Senate
will contain 21 Whigs and 35 Loco Fecos, two members
being doubtful. In the House, 74 Whigs and 50 Loco
Focos have already been chosen ; last year the same
States were represented by 49 Whigs and 76 Loco Feces.
If the remaining members be of the same politics as their
predecessors, the Loco Foes majority will be 20; though
it is supposed there will be additional changes.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
(From The Sun of last Night.)
The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was firm,
and in some instances higher. Sales 10,000 bales, 7,000
being American at sd. to 6.11 per lb., and 1,000 Surat
at 3ird. to 4id. per lb. Speculators took 1,500 bales
American, 900 Egyptian, and 600 Surat. The market
closed firmly. American and Surat were id. per lb.
higher. Brazil and Egyptian commanded fuller prices.
Shares were well supported, and there was an improve-
ment in North Stafford, Shrewsbury, and Birmingham,
and one or two other lines.
The sale of railway shares, yesterday, at Messrs.
Lamond and Co.'s, went off with spirit, and the better

From the Cape of Good Hope ac2ounts have been
received to-day to as late a date as the 7th of October.
The force under Colonel Somerset continued to gain
advantages over the Kefirs, in detached bodies, and had
recaptured cattle in various directions, so as to be enabled
to furnish the Governor's camp with a good number in
exchange for biscuit and other necessary stores. Still
the troops were prevented by the difficulty of moving
a sufficient quantity of supplies from advancing in
a body, so as to present an extended front to the enemy.
The weather being, however, much more favourable,
and the grass again luxuriant, owing to the copious
rains, there would soon be a better opportunity of acting
vigorously. More of the chiefs were expected to sur-
render at discretion, as Stock had done, and several had
mei° overtures, but the Governor was wisely resolved,
since matters have proceeded to such extremities, to
exact unconditional surrender.
There have b en no accounts of a late date received
from other parts to-day, and the non-arrival of' the Bri-
tannia, which, however, may possibly be in ere this
article is in print, and in time for accounts to appear in
another column of The Seen.
The Public Securities are very buoyant again this
morning, and there is a good business doing. Consols
are quoted at 95-4- 1 for present transfer, and 951 for
time, being fully the advance of yesterday. Zhu-re
is unquestionably a scarcity of stock, and if the
Chancery broker continues his purchases, the pro•
bability is that there will be a further improvement
before the closing of the transfer books. The New
Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 94 to 96,
and the Three per Cents. 934 to 94. Bank Stock is
worth 206 to 207. East India Stock is t•teady, at 259.
Exchequer-bills are again flat, and not higher than
to 9s. premium.
The Foreign Investments have been less dealt in, but
are at full rases. In fact, as regards Spanish at least, it
is considered essential perhaps that there should be some
effort to buoy up the market, in order to inspire confi-
dence in the new committeee of bondholders, which
hitherto has made a show of doing much, though without
advancing one jot, as far as mart' conceive, the material
interests of the creditors. Spanish Five per Cents. have
been 26 and the Three per Cents. 3;1, being 4- to
per cent. higher. Grenada Bonds have been at 20.
Dutch Two and-a-Half per Cents. are 59k.
Shares are animated. The old lines are better.

SUICIDE IN THE TowLa.—An inquest was held
on Monday before William Walton, Esq., at the King's
Head Tavern, in the Tower, on the body of Mr. George
Tidy, aged forty-six. It appeared, according to the
evidence of several witnesses, that the deceased had been
landlord of the King's Head for some years past, but, in
consequence of ill health, he had confided the manage-
ment of his business to Mr. John Davidson, his brother-
in-law. His complaint was an affection of the liver, and
he frequently suffered such pain that he said he thought
he could bear it no longer. His wife left him alone on
Sunday afternoon, while she went to open the door, and
on her return found him lying on the floor with his
throat cut, and a knife, with which he had just been
eating his dinner, lying stained with blood by his side.
The surgeon said that the deceased had been out of his
mind for some time past, probably from long continued
suffering; but the brother-in-law attributed his state of
mind to the circumstance that he was going to be turned
out of his house without compensation, after having paid
a very large sum for the go )d-will. Verdict—" Tem-
porary insanity."
REMISSION OF RENTS.—It is understood that Lady
Carbery, widow of the late Lord Carbery, in considera-
tion of the loss her tenants have sustained this year,
intends to make no demand for rent on her extensive
estates in this county. She has ever, it appears, inti-
mated her intention, should any sums be received, not
to appropriate any portion to her personal use, but to
reierve the amount in trust for purpons of benevolence.
This distinguished act of generosity is said to be only
in accordance with the conduct, invariably kind and
humane, which has characterised this excellent lady in
the management of her property.—Cork Examiner,
