occasion to complain of the great delay that took place in a
public office in sending in their clauses to Bills, whereby
great expense and inconvenience was occasioned.
Sir GEOzaz CLERK believed that such delay did not take
place in the office of the Board of Trade, and would take
care that, in future, the occurrence complained of should be
avoided in all the Government offices.
The Chichester and Bognor Railway Bill was read a second
time, and ordered to be committed, on the motion of Mr.
Errcounr, who moved the suspension of the standing
order 110 for that purpose.
Mr. Wmaos PATTEN called the attention of the House to
the sixth report of the Railways Classification Committee,
and moved an address to her Majesty for the n
ailappointmet of
a Committee to investigate and report upon the various
way projects of which the termini are proposed to be esta-
blished within, or in the immediate vicinity of the metropolis.
Sir R. Pm doubted the propriety of the House adopting
the motion upon a mere verbal statement. He should pro-
pose the debate be adjourned to Monday, when- he would
state the course her Majesty's Government would propose to
be taken.
Mr. F. 111Auts hoped the Government would follow the
course proposed by the Committee, and address her Majesty
to appoint a Royal Commission.
After some observations from Sir G. GREY, Sir R. bats,
and Mr. LABOUCPERE,
Sir R. ?um, said that notice should be given this day of
the motion intended to be made by the Government on the
subject on Monday.
After a short discussion, the debate was adjourned till
Monday.
Lord EssuXcTON gave notice of his intention on Tuesday
next to move for papers relative to the letting out paupers to
hire in the Honiton Union.
Mr. P. SCROPE gave notice of his intention, on Tuesday, to
move for leave to bring in a Bill for the better protection of
life and property in Ireland, by more effectually pro-
viding for the improvement of the condition of the poor
of that country.
Mr. litscxissox gave notice of his intention to move, on
Tuesday nest, for leave to bring in a Bill to prever.t inter-
ments in large towns.
Sir G, GLEY wished to know whether it was the intention
of the Admiralty to institute any inquiry into the loss of the
Great Liverpool ?

Mr. CORRY thought it would be an objectionable precedent
to institute any such inquiry, especially after the directors of
the company had instituted an inquiry upon the subject.
Mr. P. AI. STEWART, as chairman cf the Committee, said
that every care had been taken to prevent accidents, and
that this was the first serious one that had occurred in the
company's service. Three nautical gentlemen connected
with the company had been appointed to inquire into the
subject.
Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT, in answer to a question from Cap-
tain LAYARD, stated that he was not prepared, without fur-
ther inquiry, to make any alterations in the circular which
had been issued, by which officers' servants, and other de-
serving and meritorious soldiers were not allowed to benefit
to the full extent of the new warrant.
The report on the Fever (Ireland) Bill was agreed to,
with certain amendments, the Bill was ordered to be en-
grossed, and read a third time this day.
Mr. ELPHINSTONE obtained leave to bring in a Bill to
limit the duration of polls in counties at contested elections
of Members to serve in Parliament.
Mr. MORRISON then moved, in pursuance to notice, for a
Special Committee to inquire whether, without discouraging
legitimate enterprise, conditions might not be embodied in
railway Acts better fitted than those hitherto inserted in
them, to promote and secure the interests of the public. Ile
had at first intended to have gone at considerable length into
this sulject, but, as he understood his motion was not to be
opposed, he would not now do so.
Mr. MANGLES, though he would not oppose the motion,
thought the French system objectionable, and the lion.
Member for Inverness had admitted that by the course he
had adop,etl.
Mr. PAuxint thought that many. of the railways ought to
be postponed for six, twelve, or eighteen months, in order
that capital might not be locked up in the way it was likely

to be.
Mr. HUDSON denied that any alarm need be entertained
with respect to the amount of money about to be expended
in railways.
Mr. LABOUCHERE theught some check ought to be put
upon the extraordinary powers that railways were exercising•,
otherwise it would be found difficult hereafter to deal with
them. _ _

Sir G. CLERK assented to the proposition of the Hon.
Member for Inverness, and assured him that every facility
would be given by the Government to the fullest inquiry be-
fore the Committee.
Mr. HATTER opposed the motion.
After some observations from Lord EBRINGTON and Mr.
AGLIONBY,
Mr. ENTWISLE supported the motion. He believed that
it was the fault of the Legislature that speculation had ex-
isted to the extent it did last year in railways, and he hoped
that the Committee, if appointed, would lay down some rules
by which legislation would be more certain and stringent
than it had hitherto been.
Mr. Hums was glad the Government had agreed to the
Committee, because'he was satisfied that great good would
come out of it.
Mr. P. M. STEWART opposed the Committee. He consi-
dered that the course of legislation hitherto had been any-
thing but wise and proper; but he thought such a proposi-
tion as the present ought to have come from the Govern-
ment, and not an individual Member. If the Committed was
not constituted in a superior manner, it would do more harrh
than good.
Lord WORSLEY thought there would be great advantage
derived from the appointment of the Committee.
After some observations from Sir G. GREY,
Sir R. PEEL, on giving his consent to the Committee,
thought that some early report ought to be made, advising
Parliament as to the course it should pursue with respect to
proposed and future railways.
Lord Joins RUSSELL thought, if the Committee was neces-
sary, it should have been proposed by the Government.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER supported the Com-
mittee, and would be ready at all times, as far as lay in his
power, to aid their deliberations.
After some discussion, in which Mr. F. BARING, Mr.
lioßsmAx, and Mr. lillawzr took part,
Mr. MORRISON replied, and the motion was agreed to.
On the motion of Mr. HOME, certain reports were ordered
with respect to the receipt and expenditure of the Post-
offices of Bengal, Madras, and Bombay.
The Burghs (Scotland) Bill went through Committee, and
was ordered to be reported on Monday.
The report on the Consolidated Fund (8,000,0000 Bill was
received, the Bill ordered to be engrossed, and read a third
time to-morrow.
The Mutiny Bill, and the Marine Mutiny Bill, went
through committee.
The Fever (Ireland) Bill was read a third time and passed,
and the House adjourned.

It has been generally observed that a strong Opposition is
for the good of the country. At the present moment. it must
be confessed, that, numerically—for want of cementing princi-
ples, or by reason of circumstances peculiar to the era in
which we live, preventive of that union between various
sections who are presumed to be generally adverse to the
Government—the country is without the benefit of a strenuous
Opposition: Nevertheless—though, for the reason stated, the
power of resistance likely to be presented against the Ministry
is but limited—yet, in point of talent, it will be acknow-
ledged that the country pessesses in the ranks of the opponents
to the servants of the Crown a salutary check upon the ex-
ercise
of that power which is ever within the reach of the
Government, and which, without some such controlling in-
fluence, would be highly dangerous to the valuable privi-
leges under which we hare the happiness to live. It is our
good fortune that, in the absence of any organised system
of opposition to the Administration of the day, we are re-
lieved from any apprehension of suffering under such weak-
ness, by being justified in reposing great confidence in the
integrity, skill, and vast experience of the first Minister of the
Crown; and, on the other hand, this confidence is by no means
.iiminished by a sense of the highly honourable feelings which
uniformly actuate the mind and conduct of his thief political
opponent. Lord J. RUSIZLL, having failed to form a Ca-
binet,
notwithstanding that he had the assurance of Sir R.
Pam. that in hie capacity of a private Member of Par-
liament, he should not be wanting in his utmost support
to carry out the measures loudly called for by the novel and
melancholy position of Ireland on the one side, and the
voice of public opinion on the other, now bears his
part nobly, in reciprcesting a statesmanlike generosity
and aiding, to the beat of his ability, the laudable endea-
vonre of the reinstated Cabinet to effectuate such measures
as are strictly and urgently demanded by the state of the
common weal, both local and general. In this view we yes-
terday recognised with satisfaction the animus with which,
by deferring his motion respecting Ireland until after
the recess, Lord J. Roseau. exhibited himself as a faithful
find henourable helpmate of those whose energies are, under
most trying circumstances, devoted to the public welfare.
Had Lord Joule, mind been differently moulded, bad
the springs of his cenduct been of ether and alloyed
material, instead of the moat pure—had he been prompted
by'party jealousy, or sordid Views, what embarrassment
might 4 • not have caused to the Government, what fearful
eonaequeneee not entailed upon the country, had he stood upon
his right of earlier bringing under the consideration of Parlia-
ment his motion respecting Ireland—a motion which, note, by
being well timed, may, regard being bad to his will-
merited fame and great abilities, be productive of mach
national good. Hence, we have in an unrivalled
commercial country• the leaders of Ore great parties
in the state such, that were either of them to make
a tour through the principal marts of our land, they
'would, be everywhere welcomed as men of whom we had just
Ireason•te be proud, and to whose masterly superintendence
we may in future safely made the consideration of all our
national interests. _ _

In Loc4llJona we recognise a mental structure of that pro.
minent capacity which has always enabled him to take his
place in the van of civilisation, and of its own strength to evolve
Bound schemes of policy, justly anticipating the public
wants; and judiciously paring away the various defor-
mities which, with the progress of time, are apt to
be constantly incrustating the different institutions
of even the best of states. In his great rival

contrary, Lord JOHN has had the benefit of being in cern_

Jona has, no doubt. by his intellectual superiority,
braced up the minds of his colleagues, and thereby accele-
rated the extraordinary improvement we have effected in
our institutions within the last twenty year,. Sir BOBIRT

associates, and through the attempering their feel-

in saving the natioa from the rude shock of many a
civil convulsion. It is impossible that with other than
feelings of warm and grateful admiration we can regard
two such pillars of the State, securely upholding, as it were,
by their united exertions, the graceful pediment of our
matchless Constitution, and keeping its portals thrown
widely open for the introduction of the riches of
civilisation, in addition to the inestimable treasures
already within the ancient walls of the noble
edifice. May these two great statesmen long be preserved
to us; and ntay we from their joint wisdom derive many
additional benefits to the benefits that we have already re-
ceived at their hands.

The question as to how the destitution in Ireland is to be
alleviated, as it is the most importunate subject of the present
Parliamentary session, has elicited an extraordinary number
of propositions. Among these may be particularised Govern-
ment loans, railway measures, fever hospitals, the erec-
tion of fishery piers, extension of public works, owe
ceteris ps►ribus. On Wednesday other plans were propounded
by Mr. P. Scftors and seconded by Mr. CRANV •
FORD. Altogether, the discussion consequent upon the
introduction of these schemes was remarkable for
its array of facts, and for the earnestness with which those
facts were enforced and applied. The proposal of Mr.
Senors amounted simply to the following That the
guardians of the several poor-law unions in Ireland be re
quired to relieve• with food all such destitute persons within
their unions as may be in danger of perishing from want, or
from disease the consequence of want ;" and upon this motion
the Hon. Gentleman built up a farther recommendation, to
the effect that the entire social fabric of Ireland should
undergo an immediate transformation, by incorporating
with the Irish institutions the system of compulsory charity,
through the medium of which our English paupers have
been fed during titnes of scarcity, or whenever they might
be unable or incompetent to obtain employment. This pro-
position contains in itself the germs of a vast and daring
system ; and, although we are desirous that permanent
as well as temporary benefit to Ireland may redound
from whatever enactments are passed during this session in
behalf of that country, we cannot but feel with the
Home Secretary, that it would have been advisable for the
Hon. Member to have reserved it until the time appointed
for the Noble Lord, the Member for the city of London,
to introduce the question of Ireland and her various exi-
gencies in all its entirety. Until that moment
arrives, it is scarcely advisable to retard the pro-
gress of those measures from which immediate
assistance could be afforded to a starving and debilitated po-
pulation—it is, we say, scarcely advisable to retard those
more necessary measures, by mooting questions of the most
subtle complication and of the most gigantic character, when
neither the Parliament nor the multitude are prepared for
their reception. It is evident, however, from this very preci-
pitancy, as well as from the sagacious arguments adduced by
Mr. P. ScnoPts, that the Hon. Member was induced to bring for-
ward his motion on Wednesday from sentiments of the deepest
commiseration for Ireland and her unfortunate people ; nor
do we despair for a moment of seeing some great and prac-
tical measure advanced when the right time comes! A. mea-
sure built out of the accumulation of the experience and
wisdom among our legislators—a measure by which
the Irish labourers may be henceforth protected from starva-
tion by having a readier access to employment and greater

facility in the purchue of economical and nutritious food.
According to the assertions of Mr. SCROPE, the eviction of
tenantry is still carried on with all those adjuncts of
wretchedness which have attracted the sympathy of the
philanthropist for years past: this of itself would be sufficient
to demand some official effort at alleviation ; but when it is
remembered that it forms only one amidst a number of
equally lamentable abuses, the necessity for some attempt at
their eradication on the part of Government becomes doubly
apparent. Nor can it possibly be a matter of a moment's
question whether the men of authority should wrest
assistance to the local destitute from those who
are capable and (from their relative position) are
bound in conscience to afford it, when that assistance
does not flow forth spontaneously. Simultaneously with the
formation of the grand measure by which the whole fabric
of Ireland might be remodelled upon a firmer, more
comprehensive, and more natural plan, the recom-
mendation of reclaiming and draining waste land
should on no account whatever be overlooked or
forgotten. Increase of health, increase of useful employment,
and increase of profitable territory, would be the necessary
and not unimportant consequence of such a clause. We
cannot but feel satisfied, from the behaviour of Mr. P. SCROPE,
Mr. CRAWFORD, and Mr. S. O'BRIEN, during the debate on
Wednesday, that those Honourable Gentlemen will not allow
the matter of destitution in Ireland to subside until some

rational means be adopted by Parliament for its removal ; at
the same time, however, m e cannot but acquiesce in the
opinion uttered by Sir JAMES; GRAHAM, that it were advis-
able to delay the introduction of such comprehensive mo-
tions until after the evening stipulated by Lord JOHN Itus-
sam, for the thorough consideration of the actual condition
and the positive wants of the Irish multitude.

Madrid journals of the 11th have been received. No busi-
ness was done in the Cortex on that day, the anticipated
change of Ministry, which we announced yesterday, having
put a stop to all business. The Funds continued to decline.
On the 11th the Three per Cents. closed at 29 3-18 at 30
days, and 29 for the 31st inst. The Fives were not quoted.

In the French Chamber of Deputies on Tuesday the debate
on the motion of M. REUVISAV was resumed, when M.
THIERS Trade a long speech in support of the motion for
excluding salaried Deputies from the Chamber as well as
those who received pay from the civil list. The debate
Wigan to excite some interest, not on account of the subject,
but as a trial of strength between the Government and the
Opposition. The dissolution of the Spanish Ministry is
noticed in several of the papers, and they seem to agree in
the opinion that the change has been brought about by
NAIIVAIGZ, and that he will be called upon to form a new
Cabinet. Minium DE LA Rosa had left Madrid
before the downfal of the biIRAFLORES Cabinet, and arrived in
Paris on Tuesday. These papers contain no later news from
Poland. It appears from one of them that a diplomatic corn-,
munication had been made by the Austrian, Prussian, and
Russian Minister' t• M. GUIZOT, intimating a resolution
come to by the three Powers to interfere in re-establishing
order in Cracow, and declaring their intention to occupy
the city and territory as long as may be re-
quired to suppress tha present spirit of the population.
M. GUIZOT returned an answer, stating that the
Cabinet of Louts Pnuarrn should make no abjection
to this intervention. The answer was the subject of discus-
sion in the Council of Ministers. after a private audience
granted by Louis PHILIPPE to Count n'Arrorer, the Aus-
trian Ambassador. A similar communication has been made
to Lord ABUNDEIN by the representatives of the same three
northern powers at London, but the answer of his Lordship
had not transpired. Some of the journals yet entertain thc
vain hope that the insurrection may yet succeed.
"If the Polish insurrection bad been suppressed,',
says the Reforms; " the Northern Governments would
have hastened to announce it with great pomp. If
the insurrection was suppressed, the Austrians would not be
obliged to send 40,000 men into Gallicia. If the insurrection
had been suppressed, we should have bean told what had
become of the insurrectionary columns, whose march is at-
tested by their bold action. We should have been told that
one column was defeated on such a day, or that it had been
compelled to lay down itaarms. The namea.of.the victorious
generals would have been announced, and,. wa should have
known the number of ♦ictims. The organizers of the mas-
sacres at Tarnow would not have scrupled to terrify the po-
pulation by sanguinary executions."
_ _

Accounts had been received in Paris from Algiers, dated
the 10th instant, according to which AIM-XL-KAMM had
quitted the Kabyle country as soon as he heard of the ap-
proach of the troops under BUGBAUD. General CAVAIGNAC,
according to. the .thbar journal, bad made a razzia, and
took-7,030 head of cattle, One of the French prisoners who
has had the good fortune to make his escape from the deim
of Ann-IL-Kanin has furnished some information as to the
comrades In captivity. They are in good spirits, but are
fatigued by the long marches that they undergo. Those
who remain in the rear from weakness or sickness are exe-
cuted by order of Boy ILuannz. iSix of our poor fellows
have been already thus massacred by this ferocious Ka-
byle. The_same journal publishes the following proclama-
tion, addressed by ABIYEL-KADAR to the Arabs,—

"Ohl ye Mullett!maul Shake off from year eye. the blindness
into which you have been plauged by your commerce with the infi-
dels I Recognise their perfidy, of which you can judge by the follow-
ing facts :—When the French wished to seduce you to submit to
them, they said—Become subject unto us, and we will guarantee to
you your religion, your property, yoar women, and your children.
We will lea►e you under the rule of your own chiefb. We will lot
interfere with your customs, and we will respect your laws. We will
only wateh that you may be justly governed, and that you do not
become the victims of the exactions which weighed so heavily upon
you when you were under your Sultan Abd-el-Kader. Tou believed
their lying words, and submitted to the Christian. As soon as the
impious man believed he had strength enough, and I had for a
moment disappeared from among you, he hastened to ♦iolate all
his promised. liie applied your mosques to profane uses. He took
your best lands and gave them to his own people. Rehm purchased
the virtue of your wemea. He has enrolled your children in his
abominable cohorts. He has enfranchised the slaves which God had
given. He has arrogated to himself the rights of justice. He, hes
persecuted your most noble families. He has changed your chiefs,
replacing them by infamous Mussulmans, who have sold themselves
to him. Your nobles and your marabouts, who have been so insensate
as to serve him with fidelity, have had for their reward en eternal
prison in the country of the Christians. You are now commanded
by Roumi, judged by lioumi, administered by Boum!. And to render
his perfidious designs the more evident, he comes and reckons your
warriors, your women, and your children, as the master counts the
sheep which he wants to send to the market for sale. In epite of the
mission I have received from God to fight against the Infidel, to the
last drop of my blood, I have allowed him some repose. I have de-
parted from the theatre of war, because I was certain that the Chris-
tian would destroy himself by his own misdeeds. The day of your
awaking is come ! Rise all at the sound of my voice! Oh, Mussul-
mans, God has placed in my hand his flaming sword, and we will
go forth and fertilise the plains of our country with the blood of the
Infidel !"

On Monday Louis Pinurrie reviewed, in the court of the
Tuilleries, four regiments of the line, one of dragoons, and one
of hussars, with two batteries of artillery, forming the garri-
son of Paris and the banlieue. After riding along the lines,
attended by the Duke de Nemours, the Prince de Joinville,
the Duke de Montpensier, and the Duke of Wurtemberg.,
his Majesty distributed numerous Crosses of the Legion of
Honour to officers, non-commissioned officers, and soldiers,
of the different corps, after which they filed off with the
utmost precision. The King was hailed with repeated accla-
mations.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS,
(From The Sun of 'Last Night.)
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 4,000
bags, including 500 Americans on export. 1,500 Americans
were sold on Tuesday, after the usual hours of business, for
exportation. Prices were firm. Shares were dull, and lower.
There are no later arrivals to-day, but the Indian over-
land mail seems to be expected.
The memorial of Lieut. Waghorn, presented to the East
India Company, and praying for the grant of a pension, has
excited attention in the City. where it is deemed well en-
titled to the most favourable consideration.. Lieutenant
Waghorn expresses himself somewhat bluntly in his
memorial, but he evidently writes his thoughts
without disguise, and tells all he thinks too.
Some of the readers of the memorial think probably that
there might have been lees frankness—but so think not we.
It is characteristic of the man, and those who read the letter
at once know him. We regret much to hear of that gentle-
man's having incurred heavy pecuniary liabilities on ac-
count of his overland experiments, which no remuneration
he has received could be expected to cover. In
fact, as far as private interest is concerned, Mr.
Waghorn must have been a great lour by quitting
his original profession, to say nothing of the barrage of mind,
and constant unsettled state which the career he has since
pursued, must necessarily have occasioned him.
From the New Zealand Papers to November 22, we take
the following account of the progress of the'colony
" In last year's return, the quantity of land in cultivation.
was given at 1,262 acres, of which 237 were in wheat. This
season we have no doubt there will be over 2,000 acres, of
which not less than 600 will be in wheat. 'raking 25 bushels
to the acre (which is not at all too much to expect, consider-
ing what the crops were last year, and how much better they
ought to be every year, as the land is better cleaned and
worked), this will give us about 300 tons of flour. We be-
lieve our consumption is not above 200, so that we shall have
100 for exportation, which will go to pay, not our debts, for
in Nelson we owe none, but fer various necessary imports
which we shall receive in return.
" Our potatoes also will probably form an article of export.
Last year we had 288 acres. Probably the quantity will net
be doubled this, as more- land will be put into wheat and
barley in proportion to other crops. We have, however,
more than enough for local consumption, and some probably
will therefore be exported in the coming year. Of barley,
last year, we bad 182 acres, and should have had much more,
but when the sowing time arrived it was discoved that no
seed was to be had, and potatoes, oats, and other crops were
put in instead. This year there is seed enough ; and,
as a second brewery is to be started at the be•
ginning of the new year, there is every encourage-
ment for the agriculturists to grow a larger quantity, which
we understand is being done. In 1843 our sheep amounted
to only 1,180; last year they were 5,782; this year we ex-
pect they will not be leas than 10,000. Horned cattle last
year were 918; allowing one-third for increase, they will be
about 1.200 of this. Of minor stock, such as goats, pigs,
and poultry, we can only say that, early in the spring as we
yet are, fowls have been retailed at ls. 6d. a couple, eggs at
6d. a dozen, and pork, as usual, in the carcase, at about 2d.
a pound."
The Stock Market is flat again this morning. Consols
realise 9:5% % Tor present transfer, and 95% to 96 for Ac-
count. The premium on Exchequer-bills has been reduced
to 295. and 245. There is very little doing.
In the Foreign Market the transactions are very circum-
scribed, not extending to half a dozen bargains. Spanish
Five per Cents. are 26, arid the Three per Cents. 394.
Dutch Four per Cents. are 941,f1.
For Railway Shares there is scarcely any inquiry.

BUENOS AYRES. -
By the Petrel packet, arrived.*. Falmouth, having sailei
from Rio Janeiro on,the ssth, 6f January, we hare advicee
from Buenos Ayrei a the sth, and from Monte Video of the
9th of Januaiy. All was tranquil at Buenos Ayres. The
linos at Monte Video were garrisoned by tba 45th and 73d
Regiments, whidt was considered satisfactory, seeing the
discordant materials of which the inside party was composed.
This would, no doubt, facilitate a change of policy, should
such be determined upon by England And France.
The Apollo troop-ship, which conveyed the 73d Regiment
to Monte Video, was to leave for England about the 19th of
January, no doubt to be sent back again in the same manner
as the kesistance was, to convey those troops to their ori-
ginal destination.
MONTE VIDEO, JAN. 6.—The staff of the 73d Regiment
landed here on the 6th instant, and proceeded to their bar-
racks. It appears quite certain that this regiment and the
45th were ordered down on the authority of Mr. Hamilton,
and, from the turn which things have taken here, they cer-
tainly serve as a protection to British interests from any
eruption of the discordant elements of which the garrison of
this town is composed.
The appearance of the English ftag on the lines appears
to have ceased great excitement in the outside party; but,
taking as impartial view of this proceeding, in accordance
with what we have above stated, we consider that their anger
is uncalled for-

EXTLACTS PROM THE ♦ENU•L MESSAGE OP THE EZESG-

TIME TO THE CHAMBER. OF KEFIESINTATITES.

Boxstos• AYRES, DEC. 27, 1845.—1 n my fernier message
I informed you that the Commodore of the naval forces of
her Britannic Majesty, Don John B. Purvie, had infringed
the belligerent rights of the Argentine Confederation, in-
sulted its flag, given fresh life to its conquered enemies, and
broken the neutrality declared by. her Majesty. These pro-
ceedings' and the arming of the foreigners in the city of Monte
Video, have prolonged the calamities of the war which was
on the point of terminating.
But the Government has not lost its cenfidence that the
Cabinet of her Britannic Majesty will be guided by the
pacific spirit from which, in its official declarations, it has
never departed ; and that by acts of justice and reparation it
will redeem the character of her Majesty and of the. British
'nation for magnanimity and rectitude.
In consequence of the refusal on the part of the naval
forces of her Britannic Majesty and of his Majesty the
King of the French to acknowledge the blockade of the
ports of Monte Video and Maldonado, the Government
closed the Argentine ports to vesseh proceeding from Monte
Video, or which had touched there. The disavowal ot the
blockade rendered that measure necessary and indispensable.
The injury that may have resulted from it to the commer-
cial interests is attributable solely to the commanders of the
British and French naval forces, and on them lies the whole
responsibility of it, inasmuch as it was they who' by their
unjust infringement of the belligerent rights of the Republic,
drew forth this legitimate act ot self-defence.
Before the blockade of this province was instituted by the
Ministers of England and France, the Government prohi-
bited all communication with the ships of war of those na-
tions. It would otherwise have been impossible to avoid
disagreeable consequences, nor was the presence of their
officers and crews in the Argentine territory compatible
with its dignity and the national honour.
You know, honourable representatives, that the armed in-
tervention of France and England cannot be reconciled
with the declaration in Parliament of the Prime Minister
of her Britannic Majesty, who stated that no such right
existed in the law Gf nations, nor with that of the Minister
for Foreign Affairs of his Majesty the King of the French,
who declared that he never for one moment entertained
the idea of interfering in the internal affairs of the Con-
federation.

The Government met the inflexibility of the Ministers of
England and France with a sincere spirit of conciliation,
and with unvarying moderation of conduct. It accepted
with cordiality a private and confidential invitation from the
Charg6 d'Affairss of France to point out some plan which
might lead to the re-establishment of peace ; and presented
to him one which conciliated the honour and interests •f
England, of France, and of the Confederation. The Minis.
ters rejected it, reiterating their unjust demands.
Upon them weighs the responsibility of a state of things
afflicting to humanity, derogatory to the rights of the two
republics (the Oriental and Argentine), destructive to com •
,nerce, and alarming for the American States.
The Confederation in all its cities and districts is firmly
prepared to sustain the national liberty and honour. The
Government is resolved to defend the Argentine territory and
the independence of its flag. With the exception of this
defensive attitude it has not adopted any hostile measure,
nor ordered reprisals against the Governments of France and
Great Britain, or their subjects. It perseveres in protecting
the persons and properties of the latter, and in justifying the
confidence which civilised Governments place in its assurances
and public engagements. Whatever may be their resolution,
the Government of this Republic congratulates itself upon
having respected international conveniences, and the benefi-
cent precepts of
The Government has seen with pleasure the re-establish-
ment of the internal peace and the consolidation of the in-
tegrity of the empire. The Imperial arms have procured
for his Majesty and for Brazil the fruits of their fidelity,
and their illustrious victories. The complete triumph,
also, of the victorious army of the Orientals and Argen-
tines has deprived the rebellion of the incentive which pro-
lo.iged it.
The Oriental Republic, aided by the Confederation, glo-
riously defends its independence and the legal authority.
Ths fatal Rivera has disappeared from its free territory, in
consequence of the memorable victory of the Oriental and
Argentine arms. The General Legislative Assembly of the
Oriental people, presiding over its heroic defence, has passed
important messnres which do it great honour. The illus-
trious President, Brigadier Don Manuel Oribe, fortified by
the confidence of the country aid its representatives, sus-
tains its dignity and independence with his well-known valour
and sagacity.
The French and English naval forces, united with a horde
of Italian adventurers, have carried to the coasts of the
Oriental state desolation, pillage, and slaughter. The
Orientals continue a valiant resistance, and show that their
country is unconquerable.
The✓ Republic of the Uruguay, its illustrious chambers, and
its legal Government are worthy, honourable representatives,
of the high esteem of the Argentine Confederation. America,
and the rest of the nations of the world, behold them, crowned
with glory, defending their laws, their independence, their
deafest rights, and their honour.
The Argentine Government has not faltered before the
menaces of superior force, in its obedience to the call of duty,
honour, and safety. The abandonment of so faithful and
brave an ally, and of its own political independence, would
have degraded the Confederation for ever.
The natives will look with interest towards the heroic
Oriental republic, which, in defending its own independence,
upholds the common principle of liberty for all. •

STATE Ur' TRADE.
(From the Manchestei Guardian.)
MANCHESTER, MARCH 17.—There is no improventent this
week in the demand for goods or yarn ; and though prices
are on the whole tolerably well supported, the gradually in-
creasing stecks in the hands of spinners and manufacturers
induce sales, in some cases, at lower and rather irregular
prices.
ROCHDALE MARCH 16.—This has been one of the worst
markets we have had for a long time • few pieces have been
sold, and those at a low rate. Wool as been in much the
same demand as last Monday.
Limns, MALCII 17.—Although no actual improvement has
taken place as yet in our markets, a rather better feelin4 may
be said to gain ground; and the general opinion is, that we
have seen the worst of the reigning stagnation, and that a
livelier business time is close at hand. Prices are, upon the
whole, better maintained, and wool is very steady, and even
a shade higher for some descriptions.
HUDDERSFIELD. MARCH 17.—We have had several buyers
from London, and for the American trade, and consequeutly
greater activity was raanifested in our Cloth-hall. The
Cambria has brought orders to a considerable extent, some
of which will require two or three months to complete.

SNOW STORM.--DARLINGTON, MANCH 18.—Snow be-
gan to fall at this town &Joni, eight o'clock this aor ing, and has
continued up t this hour, four o'clock, ?,M. The snow is now lY
inches deep. I hear, (corn report, that the snow is two test deep at
Newcastle, and further u-rth it is still deeper. You may expect a
late arrival of the Edinburgh bags, it they arrive at all, to-morrow.
