LONDON, MONDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1845.

During the last and previous week numerous agricul-
iral meetings have been held throughout the country,
aud though there is seldom any occurrence very staking
these meetings, or speeches of a captivating character
the general reader, we cannot help admitting that
rney afford the most important news of the day. A com-
plete change has taken place in the tone which used to
i-ervade the speeches after dinner, scarcely a word is
Leard about protection or the sliding-scale, or the heavy
lordens on hand, or the !elfish and treasonable Anti-
( 'orn-law League. COBDEN and Co. are spoken
with great respect, the farm labourers ex-
cite considerable interest, plans are proposed
'for their comfort as well as their improve-
ment ; and, above all, the landlords and their te-
!ants begin to see, and to admit the fact, that they must
look for success, not to the Legislature, or to any para.
eider Miuistry, but to their own exertions, industry, and
skill. We are inclined to think that this is the greatest
triumph of the League. The wall of separation between
he parties has been broken down, and the arguments on
i:oth sides are listened to not only patiently, but with
respectful attention. At the meeting of the Dorchester
Agricultural Society, Mr. G. BANKES made a
speech, very unlike his usual speeches. lie ad-
vocated the claims of the poor half-starved la-
bourers, and the hardworking operatives in facto-
ries, he alluded to the manufacturers in the House of
Commons ; he had a great respect for some of those
manufacturers, and he should be " very glad to see them
ia,ncing the polka with the wives of their labourers. He
spoke without wishing to throw aspersion or 'ridicule
upon those individuals ; he said so seriously ; for there
was nothing he wished for more than to see a good feel-
:Lig between the employer and the employed,
:unongst the agriculturists as amongst
themanufactu-
rers ; and it gave him sincere pleasure to find,
that such a feeling was in reality springing upd.
At se• eral other meetings similar
lan
s
.nd we may, therefore, say that the a ggriueaugl etu ts.vi s a:s ulse
ave not only received a great moral lesson,
but that h
Piave learned it with good effect. The battle henceforth in the Legislature must partake of the same
chareac
and we confidently anticipate that within, a very brief
period the mist of ignorance and prejudice, as well as
the groundless fear of lowering the duty on corn, will be
dispelled, and reason and common sense firm the guides
c; those n ho have to make laws not for the benefit of
Sze class but the whole community. At Liverpool Lord
''rANLEY °howed that his mild, too, had undergone a
'eat change. He said nothing of the vast—the countless
numlif,rs of quarters of wheat, that could be imported

from Tamboff, nor expressed any fear that the British
farmer could not protect himself. The burden of his
speech was—" Help yourselves—improve your system
of agriculture, and think nothing done while ought re-
mains to do." At one or two of the meetings Captain
bous's remarks on the necessity of providing food for
the annually increasing population, were alluded to
somewhat in jest, but Lord STANLEY viewed
the case in a different light, he admitted
the fact, and showed also how the food
could be found. After strongly impressing upon both
landlords and tenants the necessity of improving agri-
culture by all the applications of science, he thus con-
cluded :—" The country had a right to expect it from
them ; and they must remember, that, as year after
year passed by, they had an increase of three hun-
dred thousand mouths to feed beyond the population of
the preceding year, and that on their exertions the sup-
ply for these 300,000 mouths mainly depended. He be-
lieved himself, not that the capacities of the soil were
infinite, but that the productive capacities of the soil
were infinitely larger than most people imagined ; and
he believed that it was not only capable of providing
for the existing population, but with the application
of science, of providing fur a much larger and increas-
ing population."

We are grieved to find by the advises brought from
Buenos Ayres, by the Baronet and by the Martha Jane,
under the dates of the 12th and 2Gth of July last re-
spectively, that we had been premature in relying on the
accounts we had published of the great naval force,
under the British flag in the River Plate, on which Mr.
OUSELEY could rely to enforce, if necessary, the terms
of the ultimatum offered by him, conjointly with the re •
presentative of France, to ROSAS. By these accounts,
it would seem, that even the small squadron which had
been present but a few days before in the river, had, a
few days afterwards, been reduced. We have reason to
believe, therefore, that we have but one frigate,
instead of two, and that a small ene (the Curaeoa) ;
but one war steamer, a sloop, and two gun-
brigs, for our whole flotilla in those waters. Now
since, in contemplating the present aspect of our rela-
tions with the Argentine Republic, and the character of
its President-Dictator, we feel something like a pre-
sentiment that affairs may take a turn which will place
us in a state either of diplomatic isolation, or of peculiar
and aggravated injury (it being doubtful, on the one
hand, how far the more imposing and available force of
the French may lead to earlier and to separate terms of
concession to them, and uncertain, on the other, to
what excesses the brutal obstinacy of ROSAS may push
his well-known animosity to the English residents under
his jurisdiction)—on this account, we say, this disparity
of armament is, on every ground of political expe-
diency, most unfortunate. Without particularising the
grounds on which it would be easy to make this fact
apparent, we may just indicate one or two considera-
tions of obvious force, and, unhappily, no extreme proba-
bility, that may demonstrate the serious degree in which
the honour of our flag and the interests of our country-
men stand to be affected by this strange oversight or
neglect on the part of our own Government. In all cases
where, from thb obscure origin and subsequent excesses
of their chief officers and magistrates, or their own re-
cent establishment, or their remoteness from the great
centres of political and social civilisation, violence and
spoliation are to be apprehended at the hands of new
states by the subjects of older and long-established
power. settled within their territories, and subject to
their jurisdiction, the most substantial protection
for these latter individuals consists in the moral
character of their native countries. That moral charac-
ter is found to exercise a restraining influence on petty
republics and potentates, who would never be acted upon
by any considerations of international law, or civil rights,
or the faith of nations, under the fierce excitement of their
sudden animosities and lawless pretensions. It is just
during the dangerous interval which elapses between the
determination formed to embark on a career of outrage
against defenceless strangers within their power, and
the incipient reflection for which the opportunity is
furnished by the brief season that must elapse before
their execution, that this influence operates with weak
but oppressive governments to abstain from or modify
their outrages. But in the states of that which
was formerly Spanish South America, all the world acts
under mere impulses and blind excitements. Their
whole history is that of a long convulsion. Their birth,
their existence, their decay, their reproduction, their
federations have all been presaged, accompanied, and
indicated by the throes of revolutionary agony. With
such states it is more important, therefore, than even
with the settled establishments of the Old World, to
maintain at its highest point and in the most uninterrupted
operation the:moral influence and authority of the British
name. Now, unhappily, the conduct of our former
ministers in these parts, Mr. MANDEVILLE, the predeces-
sor of Mr. GORE OUSELEY, has been onelof such absurd
vacillation, of such lamentable infirmity of pur-
pose, and tardiness of action—his pledges to our
own countrymen have been so lamentably compromised,
his negotiations with the Argentine and other
republics have been such unmitigated failures, that the
temperature of this British influence on the government
of ROSAS had already sunk below zero when Mr. GORE
OUSELEY entered upon his functions. To reinstate that
influence, to raise it to that degree of healthful action
which our Government ought to have felt it of so much
interest to restore, his remonstrances should always
have been urged with the silent eloquence of a powerful
squadron to back them ; the eloquence of a passive
" present" or active " future." But to set about
bringing Roses to his senses, and our fellow-subjects
under the inviolability of the protection which our
own flag has hitherto proudly guaranteed to them all
over the globe, by the proposition of terms to which the
overwhelming superiority of the French squadron in
the Plate must be taken to lend almost all the success
which may ultimately attend them, does appear to us a
most indefeasible imprudence, not to say a most palpable
neglect of duty, in our Government, a deplorable viola-
tion of the plainest principles of our -European as well
as our American policy. It is no time to assume airs of
lofty and chivalrous confidence, or to deal in a spirit of
such unbounded liberality and confidence with an un-
principled and sanguinary adventurer like Roses as
absolutely to discard from our negotiations all the sus
picions that his past career has not merely generated
but has confirmed beyond the possibility of doubt ;
when our friendly relations with the Govern-
ment of the United States on the eastern shores
of America are so seriously jeopardised by her grasping
but inadmissible pretensions to the finest territories on
the western coasts of the same continent, and when
even the hostility of the feeble empire of Brazil, in case
of war, might address itself with some effect to the
annoyance or impediment of our operations up the La
Plata. Besides, we are paying, at all times, the penalty
of national supremacy and pre-eminent power, in having

the most effective of our present allies the bravest

in times past are but too easily excited by reckless
spirits and designing demagogues among them into
hopes of our present embroilment and future
triumphs over us. The fact constitutes at once
the delicacy and the peril cf our magnificent
position. Our march still is, and we believe is destined
to be for many many ages, an onward one, in domestic
prosperity and external grandeur and power. But it is
over the smouldering memories of those mighty combi-
nations we battled with in a destructive war of half a
century, and broke down and trampled in the dust. The
soil of Europe, of Asia, of Africa, of America, is still
glowing with the volcanic elements that we dissipated
rather .than extinguished ; and our destined progress
must yet be—

" -- per ignes
Suppositos cineri doloso."
An unprincipled, but not unskilful, leader, like ROSAS,
confident in the natural strength of the country and the
capital over which he p►esides, may have deluded himself,
(reasoning upon what would be the motives his on n
conduct) into the belief that to see us foiled in our
efforts to vindicate the rights and property, the lives and
the freedom of British and other European subjects
within his jurisdiction, would not be unpleating to the
French Minister or to the officer in command cf the
French squadron ; and he may even, acting on some such
conclusion in his own mini, calculate on neutralising the
active co•operation of that force with our own in en-
forcing satisfaction an 4 reparation. We can feel no
doubt as to the ultimate result of the signal lesson which
would be read to his presumption and credulity by the
good faith of France, and the determined intrepidity of
our own sailors and marines, whether assisted or not by
those of the French squadron. But such a prepossession
on his part could only prolong and aggravate the evils,
the bloodshed, and the sacrifice of a hopeless challenge
of British authority and power, which more sagacity in
the councils of our Government at home, more energy
and forethought in the dispositions of our Admiralty,
and abetter selection of diplomatic agents, would, months,
and even years ago, have either obviated or signally
puni,hed.

By the Levant mail, we have accounts from Constan-
tinople to the 17th, Alexandria to the 19th, and
Athens to the 20th of September. It was generally
believed at Constantinople that a second battle had been
fought between the Russians and. Circassians, in which
the former were defeated. The particulars are thus
stated by the correspondent of a Contemporary, but they
require confirmation:—
" Schamil, the ,sallant and active leader of the Circassians,

unexpectedly attacked the Russians in their camp, and after
a short but very bloody struggle, Count Woronzoff was
forced again to retreat, in order to reach a more favourable
position. This he appears to have effected, but in the re-
treat he lost an immense number of men. The number of
men killed is not exactly known, but it may be judged from
the fact that 180 officers have perished, among whom were
one general officer, two of Count Woronzoff's aides-de-camp,
and an aide-de-camp of General Gluck. The Circassians also
got possession of four pieces of artillery, and the greater por-
tion of the Russian stores and ammunition. The Circassians,
after this victory committed great excesses. They ravaged
the country, destroyed the villages, and carried off a great
number of the inhabitants to the mountains as prisoners.
Count Woronzoff reached Tiflis on the 3d of September with
the shattered remains of his army.
Another correspondent says :

" We can get no distinct details from the Circassians of
the late Russian campaign, which has secured to Count Wo-
ronzoff the title of Prince. All I hear is, that besides the
three generals, whose death in battle the Russians them-
selves acknowledge, they have lost eighty officers of the first
families of the empire. There are people here who estimate
their whole loss, between killed, wounded, and sick, at the
high figure of 25,000 men. This is possible, for the Russians
cannot stand that climate, which is extremely variable."

A letter from Alexandria of the 19th says :

" The Viceroy has been a little indisposed for some days
back, but he is now quite recovered. His departure for Cairo
will, no doubt, take place at the end of the Ramadan. The
_marriage of his daughter will be celebrated in that capital
with Kiamil Paella. Great preparations ara being made for
this ceremony. Several European ladies have been invited
by the Princess Nasly-Haneum, the eldest daughter of the
Viceroy, to proceeu to Cairo and be present at the celebra-
tion of the marriage. Considerable purchases of jewe!s and
diamonds have been made. Nothing is spoken of but these
brilliant nuptials. Mr. Waghorn has returned from his
journey to the Red Sea. It appears that he has not given up
his plan of having the mails sent by Trieste, and he declares
that he can make the journey from this city to Lond,n by
that route in nine days, being three days shorter than by
Marseilles. He will leave this place in the course of next
month in an Austrian steamer, which is expected from
1 rieste, and he calculates that he shall be able to make the
distance in 51- days, and that firm Trieste to London by
Cologne and Ostend it will be the affair of only 31 days."

The intelligence from Madrid is to the 26th of Sep-
tember. A report prevailed that the QUEEN, owing to
the state of her health, will, in a short time, proceed to
Seville, where she will pass the winter. It appears
from letters dated Barcelona, the 26th and 27th, that
more executions have taken place at that unfortunate
and discontented city. One of these letters of the 26th
says :—" One of the banditti wbo attacked the diligence
between Barcelona and Saragossa, some time since, on
his way to the place of execution announced to the au-
thorities that he was ready to give information of an
important nature, upon which he was respited. The
consequence was, that on the information of this man,
upwards of 40 persons were arrested on the charge of
being members of an organised band of robbers. The
whole were brought before the military tribunal, for here
the civil authority is entirely superseded, and 13 have
been condemned to death, and are to be shot to-morrow
morning." A letter of the 27th states, that 12 of the
party, all young men below 21 years of age, were shot
on the morning of that day on the glacis of the citadel.
It appears they had fled from the conscription, and been
compelled by want to become robberst,„

the late elections in France, and especially the return
of a Liberal fur Douai, by the aid of the Legitimatist
voters, are adverted to by the Government journals,
while those of the Opposition, strangely enough, con-
tinue to exult in a victory obtained 133 such a disgraceful
coalition. The Journal des Debati, after stating that
during these elections the Left has carried only one
place, and that the Ministry, since the general election
of 1842, have gained four votes in the Chamber,
says :—" Let the journals of M. TRIERS and
BARROT now congratulate themselves on their
success ! Yes, this election of Douai is a grave
check for us and our cause ! a check of which
we by no means wish to diminish the importance.
The Ministerial question is here exceedingly secondary.
A vote tho less will not prevent the majority
from being the majority. We do not fear M.
ClloQuE very much, and M. GulzoT has had
to do with more formidable adversaries. But what is
grave, and still more grave for the future than for the
present, is the success of an impudent system of tac-
tics—this example of political immorality—which goes
beyond all that the cynicism of parties has, up to the
present time, exhibited. It is not necessary to be any
great prophet to predict that this system will fall back
some day or other on the heads of M. TUEIRS and M.
0. Baattor, who are now delighted at having employed
it; and every one will comprehend that the example
which they have just given would have, as its last COE-
sequence, to render the Government of the majorities
impossible! As to the thirty-five Legitimatist votes, we
conceive still more their satisfaction. What dishonours
and falsifies the representative government ought not to
cause them much pain. Their principle is all the better
' for it. Thirty-five Legitimatist votes in a city like Douai
is very little ! Whether they f arm an alliance with the
Republicans, with the Sociali,ts, or with Messrs. TRIERS
and 0. BARROT, that object will a:ways be to be revenged
on the Revolution, and to punish France for the liberty
which she has taken in choosing a Government of her
own taste. When the Legitimatists vote with the Left
every one knows what they mean by that. It is as if
they had it cried in the streets and public throughfares
that the Left were senseless men, and that the Govern-
ment of July cannot perish except at the hands of that
party. The part which the Legitimatists play is not, per-
haps, either very noble or very patriotic, but, in fine, it
must be acknowledged they owe the Revolution nothing
but their hatred. The shameful share of the matter,
shameful without excuse, is that of the Opposition. In
the election of Douai the Legitimatists sold the Opposi-
tion nothing but their votes ; the Opposition sold its
principles !"
The same journal, after quoting a letter of the 30th
ult., from Dunkirk, stating that the project of forming a
port at Adinkirk was openly abandoned two months ago,
observes that the good sense of the public did not wait
for this abandonment to see the absurdity of such a de-
sign. "It was perfectly understood," says the L'A.hats,
" that England never could have suggested it, and that
if this power had wished to possess a fortified post on
the Belgian shore, it could not have thought of construct-
ing a port of doubtful security, while there exists not far
from Adinkirk one formed by nature, and which is both
safe rnd convenient."

According to a Havre journal the Government is
about to send out an expedition to Madagascar, to ar-
range the late defeat at Tamatave, and the command is to
be given to the Prince DE JoINVILLE, who will hoist his
flag on board the Sutfren ship-o"-the-line. It was also
said that a British force would co-operate with the
French. Oa this subject the Presse, with its usual an-
tipathy to England, makes these remarks:—

'‘ No one, we imagine, could blame the undertaking of such
an expedition—no one, we may venture to affirm, would re-
gret seeing the command of it entrusted to the young Prince,
who directed with so much ability our navaal operations
against Morocco. But there is one point on which this una
nimity will not exist—the co-operation of the English forces.
It might have been acceptable in the late affair, on account of'
its urgency, from our station at Bourbon not having the means
to act alone with sufficient efficacy, and, in fine, for our not
being able at that moment to insure by ourselves alone the
repression of that ill-treatment of which the English resi-
dents as well as our own had to complain, the acceptance of
such concurrence became almost a necessity. But it be-
hoves us to leave to this incident the character altogether
exceptional which belongs to it. By the new ex-
pedition now being prepared, if such there be,
Fiance is called upon to assume towards Madagascar an
attitude conformable to her rights, her interests, and
her ditties. It has been a fault on her side that
she' has
suffered to lie dormant so long the right of sovereignty she
possesses over this tine country. IVherever such rights exist
means should always be ready to cause them to be respected
isctersoy of
the
ereby to,
in accepts some
degree,tlie
serdewise, what must happen? One is obliged at a critical mo-
ment
pretension oever it
and
reality
maybe and
thereby,
of
the right on claims. It would have been
much better in
the case in question, if the French station in the Indian seas
were sufficiently strong to do justice to English residents
as well as our own, without halving the repression with the
commander of the Conway. But this, which was then only
an unfitness, becomes a matter of gravity, if, now that we
have all the means of acting alone, we sub • mit to a combined
intervention. It will be in vain to say that our ulterior rights
have been reserved; all these reservations, whether written
or verbal, will not prevent the evil effects which such an
operation must produce in that quarter of the world. The
people there, seeing our flag constantly flanked by th it of
England, must infallibly conclude that we are not sufficiently
powerful
to maintain the rights we arrogate, and our moral
influence will thus be depreciated, even when our claims to
exclusive sovereignty remain intact. The English, who have
always carefully
abstained from acknowledging our rights
upon Madagascar, are not a people to put themselves to
charges,
to make sacrifices of their men and moneY
us a decided for the
(
sole pleasure of assisting us, and giving I
sanction.
If they make up their minds to play a part in this operation,
be assured that it is because, in one way or another, they
hope to gain some profit. Let us us not, therefore, be simple
enough to supply them, without any necessity, with a pre-
text tix mixing themselves
up with this question. It will
not be easy afterwards to get rid of them. We should re-
member the fable of the lion and his companion ; ' Let them
but put one foot in, and they will soon have all four."'

The National also expresses its disapprobation of this
proof of the entehte cordiale by a union of the two forcts:—
" It must not be forgotten that the English were for a cer-
tain period all-powerful at Madagascar. Their missionaries,
and such of their countrymen as had obtained a footing at
the Court of Radoma, had acquired an influence before which
ours was obliged to bow, and finally to disappear altogether.
Since the accession of Queen Ranavalo matters have changed
their appearance. All that bears the name of European was
proscribed, and the English shared the common lot. Then
commenced a series of annoy minces, of which our rivals had
their full share. Since 1836 th.; relations of the Government
of the Mauritius with the Queen have exhibited a character of
bitterness which it was ea,y to fee would lead sooner or later
to hostilities ; and the complaints of our neighbours against
the Ilovas accumulated in the same proportions as our own.
From these matters it may be easily inferred that England
only desires to recover the influence which she possessed at
Madagascar in the reign of Radoma, an influence which
would lead her, at a period more or less early, to an absolute

demanding a direct and personal action in the discussion that
has now commenced. The chief point is to set aside this
pretension, should it be put forward—to act independently,
by undertaking to procure alone the satisfaction which the
two Governments demand. To admit the aid of a British
naval or military force in obtaining vengeance for the com-
mon injury, would be to recognise implicitly the
independence of the Queen of the Hovas. The
English, since 1822, precisely maintain that Mada-
gascar is an independent power. Is this opinion to
bear the authority of fact, by allowing our rivals to obtain
by themselves the redress of their grievances against the
Government of Imerne? To sum up, this is an unique op-
portunity for the definitive declaration of our rights of pos-
sessi-n. The press, public opinion, and the Chambers,
ought to be on the alert not to allow it to escape."
Some of journals, however, regard the rep srt as im-
probable.
The KING and QUEEN, with the rest of the Royal
Family, who had been resident for some time at Eu,

MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS.
(From The Sun of Saturday Evening.)
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 3,000 to
4,000 bales, the market closing heavily without any change
in prices. In Shares a large business was done at firm rates.
There was some advices from Port Philip, but they are
scarcely so late as we have before received. The commercial
letters, however, are of interest, as they show that trade was
on the increase. The receipts of the revenue are said to
have been of a satisfactory character.
The Clyde has arrived off the outport from the West In-
dies, but her letters have not yet come to hand.
There are advices from Rio Janiero this morning to the
sth of August, brought by a vessel arrived at Havre. The
exchange was at 25% to 251/e. The Minister was about to
announce his financial views, not a word connected with
which, however, appears to have transpired. There is an
absence of any intelligence of interest as to mercantile mat-
ters. At Rio those connected with the river Plata were
looking earnestly for late information how matters were pro-
ceeding.
The returns of the Bank of England for the month ending
the 27th ult., shows, upon a comparison with its predecessor,
the following results :
The circulation is lower by 240,0001., or 28,798,2301. This
includes the amount in the Banking Department, which
