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 Heraldo 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 PALMER-
sioN's protest against the annexation of Cracow :
" Lord Palmerston yesterday dispatched to Lord
Ponsonby, the English Ambassador at Vienna, the pro-
test for some days past talked of, against the coup•d'etat
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 out the inconveniens of such a measure.
He 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 engag ment by eight Powers
cannot be modified and annulled by three of them. As
regards the question of necessity, Lord Palmerston
does not admit the resolutio❑ which northern courts
seem willing to adopt. 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 reckons 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 conspirators are
people belonging to the country, or they have come from
other parts. In the second case, it is not Cracow, but
the Powers themselves who are to be blamed, inasmuch
as their territories surround on all sides that of the
republic. 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 folly 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 far Foreign Affairs. A copy of this
document has been also dispatched to Lord Normauby,
in order that it be communicated to M. Guizot."
It would appear, from an article in the Courtier
Francais, 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. Guizot 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
Mo:•! !—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 Eueope, where international questions were
agitated. M. Guizot or M. Moli 1 The 15th of April
or the 29th of October ! Behold the alternative held
out to France, when she is insulted and defied beyond
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
Powers, but—to protest against their infamous usurpa-
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 has 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.
VeviN, 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 off
without paying for it at all. They also took
possession of the grain stores, and sold all the wheat
they contained.
The I?eforme 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 been 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 I'Op6ra,
on Sunday, at 82f. sc.

ELlza. Coos.—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 Coos—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 $9 frequently adorned their
column; by her genius.
