FRAN CE.

The following letter, addressed by the Comte DE
CUAMBORD to M. BERRYER, appears in the Moniteur
du Soir

My dear Berryer,—l have hardly finished reading
the Moniteur of the 17th January, but I will not lose an
instant in expressing to you my satisfaction and my
gratitude for the a,lhairaCie ,peech which you pro-
nounced in the sittir:g of the 10th. Yon know, although
I have the regret of seeing sometimes my ideas and in-
tentions misrepresented or misunderstood, that the in-
terest of France, which, for me, is above all other con-
siderations. condemns me frequently to inaction and
silence, so fearful am I of disturbing her repose, and of
adding to the difficulties and embarrassments of her
present condition. How happy am I then to see that
you have so well expressed sentiments which are also
my own, and which accord perfectly with the language
and conduct that I have held at all times. This policy
of conciliation, of union, and of fusion, which is also
mine, and which you have so eloquently put forward, is
a policy which puts into oblivion all divisions, all re-
criminations, all past oppositions, and desires for every-
body a future in which every honest man, as you so
well observed, may feel that he retains possession of
his personal dignity. Depositary of the funda-
mental principle of monarchy, I know that this
monarchy would not respond to all the neces-
sities of France if it were not in harmony with
her social state, her habits, and her interests, and if
France did nut recognise and accept the necessity of it
with confidence. I respect my country as much as I
love it. I honour its civilisation and its contemporaneous
glory as much as the traditions and souvenirs of its his-
tory. The maxims which it has strongly at heart, and
to which you have alluded in the tribune, equality in the
eye of the law, liberty of conscience, the free access of
merit to all posts, all honours, all social advantages, all
those great principles of unenlightened Christian society,
are dear and sacred to me as to you and to all French-
men. To give to all these principles all the guarantees
which are necessary fur them by institutions in confor-
mity with the wishes of the nation, and to found in ac-
cord with it a regular and stable government, by placing
it upon the basis of hereditary monarchy, and under the
protection of public liberty, at once strongly regulated
and honestly respected, is the sole object of my ambition.
I venture to hope that, with a; aid of all good citizens
and of all the members of my family, I shall not be
wanting in courage and perseverance for the accom-
plishment of this national restoration, which is the
only means of giving to France those long perspectives
of the future, without which the present, although tran-
quil, remains anxious, and struck with sterility. After
sb many vicissitudes and fruitless endeavours, France,
enlightened by her own experience, will, I am confident,
know where her best destinies are placed. On the day
when she shall be convinced that the traditional and se-
cular principle of hereditary monarchy is the surest
guarantee for the stability of her government, and the
development of her liberties, she will find in me a
Frenchman, devoted and anxious to rally round him all
the capacities, all the talents, all the glories, and all the
men who by their services have merited the gratitude
of the country. I again renew to you, my dear Berryer,
all my thanks, and I beg you to continue, whenever the
opportunity presents itself, to speak, as you have just
done, so happily and so apropos. Let us make known
more and more to France our ideas, our wishes, and our
loyal intentions, and let us wait with confidence for that
with which God may inspire her for the safety of our
common future. Rely always, my dear Berryer, on my
sincere affection. " EIENRL"

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
The Danish Government has communicated to the
Cabinets of Berlin and Vienna the principal points of
the project which it proposes to submit to the As-
sembly of Notables. This project wil be nothing
more nor less than the practical application of the
protocol of London. The principal point is the asser-
tion and maintenance of the integrity of the Danish
kingdom as et present existing, nevertheless the inde-
pendence of each other of the various provinces will
be guaranteed as much as possible. In consequence,
Denmark, Schleswig-Holstein, and Lsuenbourg will
each receive a special constitution, with a national
representation, and all will receive a general consti-
tution, with an Assembly at Copenhagen.
According to the terms of this constitution, each
province will have its Ministers of the Interior, of
Justice, of Public Worship, and of Finance ; whilst
for Foreign Affairs, War, Marine, and the Finance of
the whole kingdom, there will be Ministers at Copen-
hagen. The project formally asserts the equality of
all the nationalities, and states that it is necessary
that the succession to the Crown in the three coun-
tries should be fixed henceforward. As to the posi-
tion of Holstein-Lsuenbourg, with regard to the
Germanic Confederation, the settlement of that ques-
tion will be reserved until Austria has determined
precisely what are to be her own relations with that
body. The project contains nothing definitive as to
customs duties. These will form a matter of later
arrangement.

THE MEDICAL OFFICERS OF THE NATY.,--We are

of the navy stationed and resident in England, are about
to pay a most deserved compliment to Dr. F. G. Brown,
late of her Majesty's ship Howe, and to Dr. M'Wil-
liam, F.R.S., for their most disinterested exertions in ob-
taining for the junior medical officers of the service ward-
room rank, by inviting them to a banquet at the London
Tavern early in the month of Msy. We trust that this
demonstration will convince the guests on this occasion,
that their merits have been appreciated by the medical
officers of the navy. We shall be happy to receive the
names of those gentlemen who may be desirous of serv-
ing as stewards, and we feel certain that there will be no
lack of good names, indeed we are already inundated
with applications from all parts of the kingdom.

MINING IN TELLIGEN CE.
(From the Mining Journal of this day.)
The downward tendency in prices of dividend mines,
as noticed last week, can scarcely be said to continue, but
the business transacted in them has been on a narrowed
scale. Possibly, an apprehension that the Bank would
still further raise the value of money by an increase in
the rate of discount, may have contributed to this effect,
although such a step, if contemplated, has been deferred.
It may be remarked that dividend mine shares rule in
value as high as 6001. each share, rendering the higher
grades of shares the most susceptible of a fluctuation in
price from monetary derangements. Regarding other
mines, new, or more or less advanced, a very satisfactory
business continues to be transacted, which will, doubtless,
continue so long as the public discriminate for them-
selves, or avail of the means at hand for ascertaining the
difference between a bond fide and a doubtful speculation.
In the Metal-market there is a good business doing in
copper. Lead is in demand. Staffordshire iron is firm
in price; the makers are full of orders. The demand
for refined English tin continues considerable. Contrary
to expectation, no alteration has yet been made as re-
gards the duty on foreign tin, and we quote the market
quiet, but very firm; it is reported that the quantity
coming ferward in the next Dutch company's sale will
be considerably short of the amount estimated.
The ticketings for Foxdale lead ore (100 tons) ranged
from 10/. 7s. 6d. by Locke, Blackett, and Co., to 121. is
by J. Walker, Parker, and Co.
The ticketings for about 100 tons of Laxey (Isle of
Man) lead ore, varied from 171. 12s. 6d. by Locke,
Blackett, and Co., to 191. 2s. 6d. by both Mather and Co.
and J. P. Eyton.
Wheal Trehane lead ores sold-55 tons, at 22/.161. 6d.,
and 40 tons at 41. 15s. 6d. per ton.
West Basset first sampling is computed 46 tons of
copper ore.
The Tywarnbayle and Nancekuke sold 11 tons lead
ore, at 171. per ton.
A parcel of silver-lead ore from Wheal Arthur, in
Calstock, has been assayed, and found to produce 15 cwt.
in 20, and 133 ozs. of silver to the ton of ore—value,
401. 10s.

The biddings for 24 tons of Court Grange silver-lead
ore varied from 154 per ton, by Thomas Somers, to
17/. 12s. 6d., by both Locke, Blackett, and Co., and
Sims, Willyams, Nevin, and Co.
Daren Mine sold 10 tons of silver-lead ore at 151. per
ton, to Newton, Keates, aud Co.
The 20 tons of Esgair Llee lead ore sold to Walker,
Parker, and Co., have been delivered at Dee Bank, at
ss. per ton freight.
The Polberro tin sampling for the last month will be
about 24 tons. The levels of old Polberro, on the
copper lodes, are rather poor at present.
Wheal Mary Emma sold 2 tons of black tin at 52/. ss.
per too.
Birch Tor sold 2 tons of black tin to Messrs. Entho-
ven at 541. per ton.
At East Crowndale the bunch of tin discovered aboue
a month since has extended itself to the 40 fm. level east,
and the 50 fm. level toward* this bunch of ore is looking
well, and every foot driven improves in character and
quality. A stone of tin of 60 per cent., weighing 491b8.,
has been sent from this mine to the Exhibition of In-
dustry of all Nations.
A great improvement has taken place at North Wheal
Robert.

At East Wheal Russell the engine has been put in
' operation and works exceedingly well. The lode in the
shaft looks very promising.
At Bedford United the lode in the 103 is still yielding
10 tons of ore per fm., and the lode in Arscott's wince is
yielding 12 to 14 tons per fin.
The Wicklow Copper Mine has declared its half-
yearly dividend, at the rate of 20 per cent. per annum.
