The Carfare, cid accounts from the United Stites are
of a thvaurable eliaaacter as respeets the demand for
British nolaufaatures. As to the State debts owing to
foreign, ra we fear there is very little chance of a pay-
m-!.t interest or of principal. Upon this point the
Goveraar el the State of Illinois thus comments :
As to tha extraordinary debt of the State, contracted
for the canal and other internal improvements, no interest
has been raid cn it, which has accrued since the Ist of
July, 1841; and 00 proSision of law has been made for
such p,3ytnent. The magnitude of this debt, compared with
the resources of the state, has been a continual terror to
the people. They have lived in expectation of oppressive
taxes. The same has been anticipated by all who would
etheraiso emigra•e to the State. The popular vote at
the la,t election shows that our population has been in-
creased bat lit!l,, since 1840; and it is a fact, too
notorious to be cancealed, that nothing but the utter im-
possibility of selling real estate, prevents the rapid de-
(Tease of our ntrebers. The adjacent territories are
filling no with khal.itants at our expense. The high
and pelmy days have departed, when we doubled our
population in a few years ; when, if a eitiaen owned
more land than he wanted to cultivate, or if ho wanted
!o lease rue country, or remove from one part of the
State to another, he could sell his land for cash.
What has produced this state of things ? Has it been
high taxes? No. It has been the fear of them only.
Is it because money has been drawn from our
pockets, as a tax upon our industry? No. Not one cent
has yet been paid by taxation. On the contrary, our
taxes, fot State purposes, are three times less than they
are in the great and flourishing State of Ohio. Neverthe-
!e.-s, Ohio is advancing to greatness with unparalleled
rapidity; whilst we are paralyzed with the torpid fear of
evil only, when no such evil really exists." What is the
rala-f from this state of things? The people of Illinois
cannot, nay will not submit to further taxation. The
Governor says he would not propose a high or an op-
pressive taxation. The misfortunes and calamities of
t e people have been such as almost to prevent the col-
lection of the tax already levied. At the last session an
increased taxation was impracticable, on account of a
total want of money in the country.
This is is indeed a bad feature, as respects the claims
of British as well as other foreign claimants upon the
Stan sof America, for cash absolutely :advanced to en-
courage public w. airs and give employment to the
peop!a of the Union. It is with regret we must mention
that the other repudiating Slates are equally disposed
to la}. by, and that too most dishonestly.
We have before us a letter, dated Rio Janeiro, the
14th Ifeveinber. At that date favourable news had been
crived from Rio Grande. The rebels bad been de-
feated in three or four actions. There is little news of
iaterest on commereial matters.
'lle, settlement cf the Otaheitean question, and the
grant voted by the Chamber of Deputies of 1,0001. to
