the outrageous pretensions of these lawless men: --
" The American system of government is entirely
different from that of Europe. Jealousy among the
different Sovereigns of Europe, lest any one of them
might become too powerful for the rest, has caused
them anxiously to desire the establishment of what
they term the balance of power.' It cannot be per-
mitted to have any application on the North Ameri-
can continent, and especially to the United States.
We must ever maintain the principle, that the people
of this continent alone have the right to decide their own
destiny. Should any portion of them, constituting an
independent state, propose to unite themselves with our
confederacy, this will be a question for them and
us to determine, without any foreign interposition.
We can never consent that European Powers shall
interfere to prevent such a union, because it might
disturb the "balance of power" which they may de-
sire to maintain upon this continent. Near a quarter
of a century ago the principle was distinctly an-
nounced to the world in the annual message of one of
my predecessors, that ' the American continents, by
the free and independent condition which they have
assumed and maintain, are henceforth not to be con-
sidered as subjects for future colonization by any
European Power.' This principle will apply with
greatly increased force should any European Power
attempt to establish any new colony in North America.
In the existing circumstances of the world, the pre-
sent is deemed a proper occasion to reiterate and re-
affirm the principle avowed by Mr. MONROE, and to
state my cordial concurrence in its wisdom and
sound policy. The re-assertion of this principle, es-
pecially in reference to North America, is at this day
but the promulgation of a policy which no European
Power should cherish the disposition to resist. Exist-
ing rights of every European nation should be re-
spected; but it is due alike to our safety and our
interests, that the efficient protection of our laws
should be extended over our whole territorial limits,
and that it should be distinctly announced to the
world as our settled policy, that no future European
colony or dominion shall, with our consent, be
planted or established on any part of the North
American continent."

It will be seen that POLK confines his remarks
here to North America, but public documents and
other statements equally precise lead us to infer that
the plan extends to the whole of the New
World. The Government of Great Britain
must, therefore, be prepared for the worst. If
the struggle does not arise on the Oregon
question, it will speedily come on in another shape,
for it is evidently the firm determination of the
" go-ahead" men to expel us from the whole of the
North American continent. We sincerely regret
the result, but it is not our fault, and we can only
say, " GOD defend the right." The immense
trade with this country has no value in the
eyes of these aggressors, when compared with the
principle for which they are contending. According
to the statement of the PRISIDENT, the value of the
imports for the year ending, June 30, 1845, was
117,254,565 dollars (24,000,0001.), and the value of
exports for the same year, ending The same date, was
114,646,666 dollars, ,of 'which . 99,299,776 dollars
were in domestic -articles. How the exports are
disposed of may be learned from the fol-
lowing details published in one of the New
York papers :—" About one-half of the exports from
this port to London and Liverpool, in November, were
provisions and bread stuffs. Full three-quarters of
the export trade of the United States this year will be
in shipments of merchandise to Great Britain. More
than half the value of all the exports from the United
States is in raw cotton, and more than half of all the
exports from Great Britain is in merchandise manu-
factured from cotton." The writer, with a view to
peace, adds :

" These simple facts are of themselves sufficient to destroy
every fear of the slightest difficulty in onr political relations
with England. What would be the condition of the labour-
ing classes in the whole of Europe in the event
of a rupture between this country and Great Bri-
tain ? And what would be the condition of the southern
section of this ceuntry and the commercial classes
of the north and east, in the event of an embargo
upon our ports, and a prohibition upon the exportation of our
immense supplies of cotton? The growers of cotton would be
almost ruined by a great reduction in prices and in consump-
tion in England, from deficient harvests, or any other cause
—and the result of any very great check upon the exporta-
tion and consumption of this important staple would be of
the most ruinous character."

The rest of the Message relates to the occupation
of Texas, to the affairs of Mexico, and the tariff,
in which there is very little interest for the English
reader, though, perhaps the French may find some-
thing new and not complimentary. France, he says
truly, opened to the Americans access to the Gulf of
Mexico, by the cession of Louisiana, and France
would now attempt to restrain them within their
ancient limits, but in vain. Of their ancient ally he
thus speaks, and with this extract we dismiss this very
wordy, vain, and insolent document :
" Even France—the country which had been our ancient
ally—the country which has a common interest with us in
maintaining the freedom of the seas—the country which, by
the cession of Louisiana, first opened to us access to the
Gulf of Mexico—the country with which we have been
every year drawing more and mere closely the bonds
of successful commerce—most unexpectedly, and to
our unfeigned regret, took part in an effort to prevent
annexation, and to impose on Texas, as a condition of the
recognition of her independence by Mexico, that she
would never join herself to the United States. We may re-
joice that the tranquil and pervading influence of the Ameri-
can principle of self-government was sufficient to defeat the
purposes of British and French interference, and that the
almost unanimous voice of the people of Texas has given to
that interference a peaceful and effective rebuke. From this
example, European Governments may learn how vain
diplomatic arts and intrigues must ever prove upon this con-
tinent, against that system of self-government which seems
natural to our soil, and which will ever resist foreign inter-
ference."

The farce of election at Woodstock is only just
over, when Buckingham is called upon to enact a like
farce. Sir JOHN CHETWODE'S death has made a
vacancy in the representation of Buckingham, and
the Duke of that name will issue his mandate, which
will be obeyed. The Duke will hardly miss the
opportunity of sending his young hopeful to vote
against Pam.. A borough, indeed, is below the dig-
nity of the Duke's heir; and Lord CIIANDOS, it is
well known, has been nursing for the county, Nr hich
his father rules equally with the borough. But these
are not times for stickling about dignity. When
monopoly is Sghting for life, Lord CHANDOS must be
in the fight, even though he serve as a private. But
whether the Duke of BUCKINGHAM nominates Lord
CHANDOS, or a chimney-sweep, his command will

be obeyed.
Buckingham, like Woodstock, has about four hun-
dred electors. There are too many other instances
to show that such a constituency is far too small to
withstand the influence of a great Duke, or rich
neighbour. But if we are to have nomination, what
need of four hundred electors ? As things are, the
Reform Act has only done mischief in these cases. It
were better to: have Old Sarum, Gatton, and Corfe
Castle, back again, than a set of constituencies of
three, four, and five hundred, returning Members
under great men's influence, or through corruption.
It is misrepresentation in either case; and more con-
sciences are forsworn in Buckingham and Woodstock
than in any of the departed glories of schedule A.
The borough of Midhurst, in Sussex, has a con-
stituency of less than three hundred, and has been
represented, since the last general election, by Sir
HORACE SEYMOUR, doubtless a very respectable man,
bat not known to us by,any senatorial achievements.
The borough of Midhurst was, till lately, a Whig
borough. Mr. POYNTZ, the late proprietor, was a
Whig. bar. POYNTZ is dead, and his property has
gone to a daughter, who is married to Sir lionAen
SEYMOUR ; and Sir HORACE SEYMOUR is a Tory.
And so the three hundred electors of Midhurst have
all passed over from Whiggism to Toryism. Now
this Sir HORACE SEYMOUR, being a relation of the
Marquis of HERTFORD, is at present the sole candidate
in the field for the county of Antrim ; and he
will bid good-bye to the independent electors of
Midhurst, who, of course, will independently elect
some friend of Sir HORACE SEYMOUR'S to succeed
him. And this is the people's House !
When Lord Jour; Russxm. defended his finality
views, in a letter to the electors of Stroud, in 1839,
he thus explained the principles on which he pro-
posed the Reform Act. Like all his explanations, it
is very clear ; and we believe it to be strictly appli-
cable to the present state of the representation
"In proposing
reformaa s thatofthe
representation
of the Hon
se
of
people,
individually
it always appeared
to me that there were two tpheionpglstothbee
proved; the one w
Commons did not represent the e,
other that, collectively, they did not speak the sense of the
people.
"Had the first branch of this argument failed, there Was
an end of the question. But- it did not, and could not fail;
on the contrary, it was admitted that Peers and other pro-
prietors, named without control, at their own caprice, a great

proportion of the Members of the House of Commons.
Accordingly, when I once moved for a Committee to ascer-
tained the facts respecting the nomination boroughs, Mr.
Canning said it was unnecessary, the guilt was admitted,
the facts alleged were not denied.
" There remained, however, the other portion of the ques-
tion. Did the House of Commons virtually represent the
people ? For if the people were in effect represented, why
should sober men resort to an extensive change merelZ to
introduce a theoretical improvement, from which no practical
advantage was to be derived ?
" It was, therefore, necessary to show that in fact the de-
cisions of the House of Commons were not in conformity
with the general sense of the people. In order to do this, I
contrasted the votes of the small borough Members, with
those of the representatives of counties and large cities upon
several important questions. The result was that the
known representatives of the people were in direct opposi-
tion to the majority of the House of Commons."

And the two branches of this by no means revolu-
tionary argument may be equally sustained in 1845,
Will any one say that great proprietors do not
now, capriciously and without control, nominate
a large proportion of Members of the House
of Commons ? Is it not so at Buckingham,
Woodstock, Midhurst, Chippenham, Cirencester, Dor-
chester, Huntingdon, Lymington, Marlborough,
Marlow, Ripon, Thetford, Reigate, Arundel, Wilton,
Abingdon, Christchurch, Eye, Horsham, Launceston,
Malmesbury, Westbury, Great Grimsby, St. Ives,
and many other places which might be named? The
county elections are now almost universally in the
hands of a few great proprietors. But the other day
Lord WARWICK made a county Member of his son
with the same care that he would appoint his bailiff
and Antrim, solicited by Sir HORACE SEYMouR,
now invites attention to the popular character of Irish
county elections.

We have named above twenty-four nomination
boroughs. Not one of them has so many as five
huniired electors ; several of them are under three
hundred. They return thirty-four Members, thirty-
three of whom are monopolists. This goes some little
way towards drowning the voice of the people, and
we have only. mentioned some of the nomination
boroughs, and have not counted the landlord-ridden,
counties.

Accounts from Madrid of the 15th announce The
election of M. CASTRO Y ORASES to the Presidency
of the Congress of Deputies by 74 votes to 58 given
to M. Pecunco, the Opposition candidate. Of the
Vice-Presidents three are Ministerial ; the fourth,
M. SALAMANCA, belongs to the Opposition.

Accounts from Paris of Sunday announce the ad-
judication of the Paris and Lyons, and the Creil and
St. Quentin Railways, which took place on Saturday.
For the Paris and Lyons the only company that
offered was that of LAFFITTE, GANNERON, BAUILLON,
and BAUDRAN, but as they demanded a lease of 42f
years, and the Government maximum was one year
less, their offer was rejected. A Council of Ministers
it appears was held on Saturday evening, when it
was agreed that the Minister of Public Works should
accept a new proposition of M. LAFFITTE and Co.,
to take the line on the terms offered by Govern-
ment, namely for forty-one years and ninety days.
The concession was therefore *made to that
company. For the Creil and St. Quentin line.
ROTHSCHILD and Co. were the successful bidders.
The following were the offers of the different com-
panies :—ROTHScHILD, HOTTINGUER, LAFFITTE,. and
Company offered to take it for 25 years, 11 months ;
CARRETTE and MINGUET fur 38 to 40 years; COL-
BERT and Co., for 36 years ; ARDOUIN for 43 years.
The CORDIER Company did not bid.

A nother Cabinet Council had been summoned for
Sunday, to meet at the Tuileries, when the royal
speech at the opening of the Chambers on Saturday
next would be submitted to his MAJESTY. The KING
and Royal Family returned to Paris on Saturday
for the season. According to accounts from the
provinces, several of the rivers had risen in
a most remarkable manner, without any apparent
cause. On Friday the Rhone had risen to such a
height as to overflow several of the quays and streets
of that city, and consequently occasion much alarm.
The rise was already greater than that of 1842, and
was said to be increasing. This state of things was
very extraordinary, as the quantity of rain that had
fallen was not very great. The Saone was also rising.
On Thursday, at twelve o'clock, the Seine rose to
the height of 4 metres 50 centimetres by the scale
on the Pont Royal. The piles of the Pont du Ca-
rousel are completely covered, and the quays over-
flowed, so that all the goods upon them have neces-
sarily been removed, and business is at a stand.

The Funds, influenced by the firmness of our
market on Friday, improved on Sunday. The Three
per Cents. were done at 811. 75c.; Lyons " defini-
tives" were at 85f. premium ; Northerns at 7271 f. to
730 f.

PRIVY COUNClL.—Summonses were issued yester-
day afternoon to all the members of Sir R. Peel's
Cabinet to attend a Privy Council this afternoon at
Windsor Castle, and a special train for the convey-
ance of the official party was ordered on the Great
Western Railway at one o'clock. The meeting of
Parliament will, it is expected, be settled at the
Council. One or more of the members of Sir R.
Peel's Ministry will complete their resignation by
delivering to her Majesty the seals of office.

THE RIVER PLATE.
(From the Times.)

LIVERPOOL, MONDAY EVENING.
Accounts from Monte Video to the 31st October have
been received per Resistance troop ship.
The advices are of considerable importance. We
annex extracts from private advices :
" MONTE VIDEO, OCT. 30 AND 31.
" There is no prospect of an immediate settlement
of the war here. The British and French bare not a
sufficient land force to enable them to rout Oribe and
drive him from the country, and it would be of no avail
merely to expel him from his encampment at the Cer-
rito ; and it is generally understood here that the
Ministers will wait the arrival of forces from Europe
before commencing any active operations by land.
Proposals have recently been made to them by Rosas
through Mr. Mareuil,lthe late French Chargé d'Affaires,
offering to accept the terms which the Ministers pro-
posed in the month of May ; but I am informed that
they now require further concessions, and more than all,
a guarantee for the fulfilment on the part of the Buenos
Ayres Government of any compact which might be
made, which is virtually saying that they will not treat
with General Rosas. This is the first instance which I
recollect in which Rosas has been the proposer of terms
of accommodation a ith his adversaries ; his system does
not admit of concessions, and his making them under
present circumstances is considered an evidence of weak-
ness and alarm.

" There are accounts from Rio Grande, apparently of
an authentic character, which state that the Government
of Paraguay had declared war against Rosas, and that
some part of Urqueza's forces had been defeated by the
Correntinos. If there be any truth in this statement, it
would seem that Rosas is attempting an invasion of the
province of Corrientes."

Merchant-vessels about to proceed up the Parnua
should repair without delay to the island of Martin Ga-
vira, where they will receive the necessary instructions
for the continuation of their voyage from some of the
vessels of war destined to form part of the expedition
up that river.
Letters from Rio Grande, of 20th October, announce
as a fact tho declaration of war by Paraguay against
Rosas.

The Marquis of Headfort's second son, Lord Robert
Taylor, has entered the Household Brigade as Ensign and
Lieutenant in the Scotch Fusilier Guards.
The Marquis of Ailsa is indisposed at his villa, St.
Margaret's, near Richmond.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, QUARTER To THREE,.

The demand for Cotton at Liverpool yesterday was better.
Sales, 5,000 to 6,000 bales. There was no alteration in prices.
Among the sales were 700 Surat, at 2%d. to 3Xd. ; 7U
Surinams, at 51,4 d. to 534 d. ; Egyptian, at 51/2d. to 6%d. ;
and American, at 3%d. to 51/ d. per lb. There was a better
demand for shares, and prices somewhat improved.
The Message of the President of the United States, which
has been made public this morning, has been the subject of
general conversation in commercial circles. It is on the
whole consilered less warlike than was anticipated ; and the
Funds have in consequence advanced about half per cent. A
saving clause exists in the Polk speech] to the effect, that
should Congress originate any step for the settlement of the
Oregon question, he would be most ready to acquiesce in it.
As for the talk of maintaining the honour of the Repnbiic in
this matter, or after the twelve months' notice expires, actual
and menacing steps will be taken to assert a right to the
whole of Oregon, it is treated with something approaching
ridicule in the City.
The private advices received to-day from New York and
Washington are full of comments upon the tenor of the
Message, and it is most certainly anticipated that a war may
be staved off. The President, our letters state, was com-
The reference made to an increase of the navy does not seem
pelled to say something stormy in order to satisfy the
democratical party in the western part of the Republic.
to have reference to anything like war as being probable,
otherwise there cannot be a doubt that a recommendation
would be made to Congress to prepare for the worst, by an
extraordinary grant. It is evident, too, that no con-
siderable increase in the army of the Republic is contem-
plated. From these and other paragraphs (take another in-
stance—the recommendation that the National Debt should
be immediately paid off, amounting to about 17 millions of
dollars), it is clear that after all, a " peace policy " will be
the result of the deliberations of the American Legislature.
The quotation of Consols for the Account reached 94, soon
after the Market opened to-day, being a rise of per cent.
on the last rates of yesterday afternoon. At present
the market is but a shade lower, and the inclination appears
to be rather to purchase than to sell. The Reduced Three
per Cents. have improved from 9314 to 94%, and the Three-
and a-Quarter per Cents. from 9514 to 96%. The premium
on Exchequer-bills has been quoted at 20s. to 225. Bank
Stock has fallen to 2002.
A very few bargains have been made to-day in the Foreign
Stocks. Brazil New Bonds have been done at 79; Granada
at 214 ; the Peruvian at 41; the Portuguese Four per Cents.
at 60; Spanish Three per Cents., for Account, at 39%; Bel-
gian Four-and-a-Half per Cents, at 95%; and the Dutch
Two-and-a-Half per Cents. at an advance to 61.
There is more firmness displayed in the Railway Share
Market this morning; but still there are but few buyers
coming forward. Business, no doubt, will be flat till the
opening of Parliament.
