some length on foreign affairs, and complained that
France had made humiliating concessions to England.
M. GUIZOT utterly denied the charge. France
in every respect, had acted with perfect
independence. Questions certainly had arisen which
might have caused differences between the two coun-
tries, but these, by good will and mutual yielding,
had been brought to a successful termination. With
regard to Texas, he had looked on the question as
one which, after the Act of Independence, related
chiefly to the population themselves, while he must
maintain that the interests of France required that
the different provinces in the New World, peopled by
the Spaniards, should not be merged in an universal
republic. It was the policy of Europe to maintain an
equilibrium among the Powers in the other hemi-
sphere. He was left speaking at the hour of post_
We are glad to find from some of the Opposition
papers that the importance of Mexico in that
quarter begins to be acknowledged. It is, indeed, only
necessary to represent facts in their true light to
convince every party in France that the occupation of
that rich territority by America would be fatal to
French interests. " That magnificent country," says
the National, "is just emerging from a state of bar-
barism, and the policy of civilised nations is no more
understood than international lights by a people
scarcely the eighth part of which are whites. Mexico
possesses the richest mines of the precious metals
whichfthe world contains, and yet it is daily plunging
deeper into debt, and marching on the high road to
bankruptcy. Its soil produces in abundance rice,
sugar, coffee, and grain of every description ; but the
agriculture, yet in its infancy, instead of furnishing
such for exportation, is scarcely able to supply a suffi-
ciency for the interior consumption."
The Committee of Deputies appointed to draw up
the Address had agreed on all the paragraphs, tend on
Monday the following draft, presented by M. VITET,
was read by the President :
" Sire,—The Chamber congratulate themselves with you
on the general situation of France; and the accord of the
great powers of the State, and the maintenance of our policy
of order and conservation will more and more insure the
regular development of our institutions, the consolidation of
our liberties, and the progress of the national prosperity.
Your Government is applying itself to prosecuting of great
works of defence and public utility, the prompt completion
of which the country -requires. These new elements of force
and wealth will afford us in a few years the guarantees which
our security wants, spread over all parts of the territory, and
through all classes, labour and well-being, and will supply
the means of fertilising our industry, animating our trade,
and preparing for our agriculture happier tlays, and prices
worthier of its laborious efforts.
" The Chamber will examine with solicitude, without ex-
ceeding the limits of prudence, the measures that will be
proposed to it for completing their great ensemble of works.
" Your Majesty gives us the assurance that our financial
situation has become more and more satisfactory. We shall
strive to improve it by making a vigilant and wise economy
preside over the employment of our resources'
" The various Bills the presentation of which your Majesty
announces shall be the objects of our serious consideration.
We are happy to learn that you continue to receive from all
the Foreign Powers peaceful and amicable assurances—peace
must henceforth be the first and most pressing want of all
nations, and it behoves those who are endowed as largely
with courage as with power to proclaim the benefits which
result from its continuance. The policy which, by the as-
sistance of the powers of the State and public reason,
has maintained a general peace in the midst of tem-
pestuous trouble, has excited the gratitude of the people,
and in the page of history, Sire, it will be recorded as
the honour] and glory of your reign. The reiterated
proofs of friendship which have been evinced towards you
by the Queen of Great Britain, and the reciprocal confi-
dence which exists between the two Governments, will
happily ensure the continuance of friendly relations between
the two nations. Your Majesty has announced to us that
the convention which has recently been concluded for put-
ting an end to an odious traffic, is now being carried into
execution ; and thus the Chamber is enabled to congratu-
late itself on the realisation of that wish which it has so re-
peatedly expressed. The rights of humanity will be effica-
ciously respected, and our commerce will be replaced under
the exclusive superintendence of our flag. We would ex-
press a hope that France and England, by their communi-
cation ant unison, whose only object will be the desire to
stop the flow of blood, and the re-establishment of commer-
cial relations on a more certain and substantial basis, may at
length succeed in restoring peace on the banks of the river
Plate. Faithful to the engagements which she has con-
tracted, France has a right to invoke respect for treaties ;
she reminds the whole of Europe of those solemn guarantees
which have been stipulated for in behalf of a generous people.
"We deplore with your Majesty the events which have
disturbed our possessions in Africa, and we share with your
Majesty those sentiments which the heroism of eur soldiers
has inspired. France follows them through their perils with
grateful solicitude. France applauds the promptitude of
those measures which you have taken to maintain her power
and sway in Algeria. Our perseverance shall not be over-
come, and our energetic efforts shall ultimately succeed in
founding and establishing a fruitful and prosperous security
on that land which we have proclaimed to be French. Sire,
3 our wisdom and your courage have enabled us, in the
midst of great difficulties, to fulfil the noble mission with
which you have been entrusted by the national will. Our
duty is to afford you loyal assistance, and to establish with
you, on an imperishable basis, the Government and the
dynasty of our choice. Providence has blessed our efforts,
and has vouchsafed to us consolations which we would consi-
der as guarantees. Your grandchildren will fol!ow the
example of their fathers, those noble Princes who, whereso-
ever they 'have appeared, have done honour to the name of
France. Sire, all your aspirations have been realised. You
have acquired the lasting affection of the country, and each
succeeding. day renders more indissoluble the bonds of onion
hist-h bind your rai.lty to your ~.Liotry.,

The debate on this address was ordered to corn

mence on Friday.

The Gazette du Midi, a Marseilles journal, of the
Bth inst., states positively that a case of plague had
appeared in the lazaretto of Marseilles.
We are glad to find that Lord COWLEY has reco-
vered from his severe accident. His Lordship and
Lady COWLEY had the honour of dining with the
KING and QUEEN on Saturday evening.

we can now state for a certainty that the visit will take place

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NE;r
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool Yesterday were 3,00 D
bags. The market was quieter, but there was no change in.
prices: 250 bales Egyptian sold at 64(1. ; 250 Maranham at
41/2d. to 5%d. ; and 2.500 American at 3%d. to 6d. per lb-
Shares were dull in general.
A case was decided yesterday in the Admiralty Court,
upon a bottomry bond, in which the Learned Judge (Dr. Lush—
ington) gave some very sound advice to the owners of ships
in this country, and, indeed, elsewhere, as to the selection of
competent and trustworthy captains, put in command of
ships destined for long voyages. In the case of
the Ilebe, the master, it would appear, had.
exceeded his orders, but still as the representative
of the owners, the ourt was compelled to give a sentence
in favour of the bond, and with costs. The advice of Dr.
Lushington was good, and worthy of the most earnest atten-
tion en the part of the shipping interest. Very manyowners
of ships have lost largely by selecting, either through family
favouritism or for cheapness, inefficient men, and have been
compelled to "pay the piper."
There ere dates from the Cape of Good Hope to Nov. 15.
The farmers who had flocked in such numbers to Colesberg,
in order to hear the trial of two settlers, who shot a country-
man of theirs in the course of a dispute, were disappointed
of the anticipated gratification, as, in consequence of the pre-
vailing excitement, it had been found necessary to move the
proceedings into a superior court. Affairs on the frontier
were tranquil, and there was a prospect of the authorities
continuing to exercise due vigilance.
We hear nothing of the steamer from Halifax.
A considerable amount of business has been trans-
acted this morning in the British Securities. Consols
for the Account have just advanced from 94% to 94%, but
for Money the value has gone back from 94% to 94%, and
the Reduced Three per Cents. from 951 to 94%. Ex-
chequer-bills have run down from 295. to 235., 255. premium.
It is pretty evident that the Committees of Management of
new railway projects are directing their attention to the
realisation of assets placed in bankers' hands, so as to be ready
to pay deposits into the hands of the Accountant-General, in
accordance with the orders of the Legislature.
There was a bargain made in the Equador Bonds to-day
at the low figure of 3%. in New Grenada at 213/4, in Mexican
at 3GA 1,6, in Dutch Two and-a-Half per Cents. at 593/4,
and in the Four per Cents. at 951,4, for the Account. Por-
tuguese Four per Cents. command 58, the Spanish Three
per Cents. 3914, and Russian Five per Cents. 11114. The
settlement of the Foreign Stock account is fixed for to-
morrow. To-day many books have been very well balanced
up, and the adjustment is expected to go oft' well.
There has been a fair demand for the best lines of Railway
this morning, as well as for what are held to be good
scrips, but holders must meet the buyers on liberal terms, as
the quotations will show.
