The French Papers of Wednesday have been
received, but they do not contain any news re-
specting the operations of the army before Ant-
w•erp. The Address of the Chamber of Deputies
was under discussion and fully expected to be
carried. We have given extracts in another
column.

Montreal Papers to the 4th of November, and
Port-au-Prince to the 22d of October, have been
received at the North and South American
Coffee-house. The Montreal Papers state,
that the weather has been. for some days more
severe than usual at this early period of the
winter. On Friday night, there was a sharp
frost, and on Saturday, a great deal of' snow fell,
which continued, and the whole of the country
had a most winterly appearance. A meeting
was to be held, for the purpose of preparing an
Address to his MAJESTY, on the present state
of the Province. 'F he Port-au-Prince Papers
do not contain any information.

New York Papers have been received up to
the 9th instant. The election of the President
was not yet brought to a close, but there was
every appearance of General JACKSON being
continued in that high office. In the States of
Pennsylvania and New York, he had obtained
great majorities. The papers contain no other
news of interest on this side of the Atlantic.

We direct attention to some further infamous
edicts issued by the " miscreant" CZAR, the Nero
of the North, against the decimated Poles, which
will be found in another part of The Sun.

The rising tide of pauperism, which has long
since swept away all signs of comfort and happi-
ness among the labouring population of the
southern counties, and which will soon over-
whelm the middling class of farmers and land-
lords, where it has not already done so, pro-
nises, as Colonel THOMPSON justly observes
in his Catechism of the Corn Laws, at least to
have the good effect of ultimately showing the
corn growing monopolists the futility of their
attempts to fill their pockets at the expense of
the classes upon whose prosperity they are ab-
solutely dependent. We fear, however, that the
promise is of slow performance, for although they
cannot fail in the long run to discover that they
are destroying the source of their golden profits,
nearly all the recent publications of their advo-
cates show almost as great blindness as ever.
The Poor Laws are now charged with being the
cause, and the sole cause, of the distress felt by
the agriculturists. We have often raised our
humble voice against them as the source of misery
and wretchedness to those for whose benefit they
were passed, but there cannot be a doubt that
their natural ill effects are greatly aggravated by
the indirect operation of the Corn Laws. To
acknowledge this, however, would be a pill too
bitter for the wise men who attempt to regu-
late the price of food and labour to swallow,
and accordingly we have forwarded to us plans
without number for abating the evils of the Poor
Laws, which carefully avoid any reference to
the attempted monopoly of corn as connected
with those evils. The latest publication upon
this subject is entitled " A Plan for Relieving
the pressure of the Poor Rates, and affording
employment to the Agricultural Poor," and
is pretended to be written by a solicitor. The line
of argument, however, adopted by the writer,
no less than his exclusive title show him to
be connected or interested in land rather than in
law. A few extracts will enable our readers to

judge whether our conjecture be correct. After
dilating upon the miserable state of the labouring
population, which wanted no proof at all, and
the severity with which the poor-rate presses upon
the landowners, the writer, (speaking as if it
it were paid by no one else), asserts that all
would be well if the farmers could be en-
abled to employ the labourers, for whom
no profitable labour now exists, upon the
waste lands of the kingdom. No doubt

that all would be well if that state of
things could be brought about naturally, but how
does our friend, the solicitor, propose to bring
it about ? Will our readers believe that he
proposes to take a few millions from the ge-
neral taxes of the country, and pay them to the
parish-officers through the medium of the ex-
cise collectors. Take his own words for the
effects to be produced by this notable scheme :
" The advantages that would result from the measure
cannot be too highly appreciated. Agriculture would
rear its head, and the trade and commerce of the king-
dom would soon feel the vivifying effects ,of its prosperity.
Au increased demand for libour would arise; new lands
would be brought into tillage, and au addition made to
the produce of the country, which, judging from the
average amount of the importation of late years, would
render us independent of foreign supplies."

exclude Foreign Corn.
Ay, there's the rub,
There is something candid in the plan of directly
paying to the landowners so much per annum,
and it would meet with a greater share of our
approbation than the attempt at doing it indirectly
by means of a Corn Law, did we imagine that
the price of Corn would be reduced thereby. But
we are satisfied that our worthy landlords would
still get as high a price as they could, and that
the effect of the country maintaining their in
arm poor would be simply to relieve them from
that charge, and after a time to increase the

weight of the poor's rate generally, by the stimulus
that would be given to pauper population. In-
deed, the increase of pauperism is the whole end

their European war-cry (they call themselves, if
we mistake not, the peace party) just at a e
present moment, for the hypocritical howl will
be set ringing freshly in the ears of their-con-
stituents, when the Tory candidates mount the
hustings, to promise, wheedle, explain, and so
forth. If nothing else availed to do so, the
Dutch business alone would, we are quite sure,
be sufficient to blight the lasi electioneering
hopes of the faction.

The German Papers, received this morning,
contain only an article from Constantinople re-
lative to a mission from the Porte to this country,
to solicit aid in its present struggle with the
Paella of EGYPT. The article will be found
under the head of French Papers.
