the burthens from the industrious classes—a dreadful
revolution must be the consequence;—(Hear, hear.) The
resolution contained an allusion to the currency, and he
considered it deserved their most serious consideration.
—(Hear, hear.) If the farmers looked to those things
which most- concerned them, they would find that no-
thing bore so directly upon their interests as this ques-
tion.—(Hear.)"

And again, the same speaker :—" He, however,
told them to look to the currency as the cure for all
the evils which afflicted them.—(Hear, hear.) .He
did not pretend to understand so much of this sub-
ject as his neighbours, but if he were called upon to
pay 20s. for 13s. 4d. borrowed, he thought he should
give a fair idea of his feelings on this subject."—(Hear.)
Now in all candour we must own that we see not
how Sir R. PEEL can give up, in the present condition
of the country, the five millions malt duty, however
reason and equity demand that he should do so. But
if he will be bold, righteous, wise enough to repair
an enormous error, by consenting to render the
currency expansible, instead of immoveable, except
for the process of contraction,—and adopt, for his un-
lucky standard of value, gold at the market, instead
of his Act of Pediment, price ;—he may yet save the
empire which his legislation is fast hastening to ruin ;
revive the noble commerce, whose energies he has now
paralysed ; give expansion and prosperity to agricul-
ture, in place of present decay and fast approaching
ruin ; raise and exalt, employ and remunerate, labour
throughout the land ; and replace domestic pauperism
and despair by social competence and peace.

Madrid journals of the Bth have been receiv d, and
bring more accounts of butcheries in the northern
provinces. The Herald() announces that the Go-
vernment had been officially informed by General
BRETON, Captain-General of Saragossa, that twelve
individuals implicated in the late affairs of Hecho and
Anso had been shot on the 3d inst. Fortunately, at
Madrid executions have not followed so quickly after
arrest. The decision of the Court-martial condemn-
ing Col. REusymo, with two others, to death, arid
eight to the galleys, had been reversed by the Su-
preme Military Tribunals, an+ the proceedings de-
clared illegal. Hopes are therefore entertained that
the lives of these unfortunate victims will be spared.

According to intelligence from Switzerland, pub-
' lished in the Paris papers, the disturbances in the
Canton of Lucerne have been put clown for the present—
the Jesuits have triumphed. Several of the leaders of the
Liberal party, among others Dr. STEIGER and Captain
Aurnea MANN, had been taken, and the Government
had countermanded the reinforcements which they had
required of the neighbouring Catholic cantons. The
Protestant cantons had collected troops, but chiefly for
the purpose of protecting their frontiers. From the
little resistence made to the Government troops of
Lucerne, and the apathy which pervades the rural po-
pulation, it would appear that the. Catholic
High Church party are predominant in the
canton. The following extract of a letter
from Berne, dated the 10th inst , furnishes the latest
particulars :—" By the arrivals from Lucerne this
morning, we learn that the city is filled with troops
and that arrests continue to be made. The Jesuits
triumph to the full extent of the word, thanks to the
means of seduction they have employed. Dr.
STEIGER, one of the chiefs of the Liberal party, who
is paying by imprisonment for his opposition to the
Jesuits, is a man of mind and energy, who was the
only one that could rally the Liberal party of the
country, which was without leaders. Colonel KuG-
GENBUHLEIt, another chief of ,the Liberal party, has
succeeded in escaping into the territory of Berne.
Many other fugitives hare succeeded in getting
over the border; but, although our Government
feels the necessity of stopping the reaction, it
will consider twice before it makes any demon-
stration _which may become a signal for a ge-
neral conflict in Switzerland. The people, however,
who do not look so closely to the Federal Compact,
are discontented with this forbearance. A volunteer
from Argau, who joined the expedition against Lu-
cerne, writes from Arau last night, that nearly all
the eight hundred volunteers are returned, worn out
with fatigue, and dissatisfied at not having met with
any support from the people of the places through
which they passed.. There has been, nevertheless, a
serious engagement at the bridge of the Emilie, half
a league from Lucerne, in which there were killed
and wounded on both sides. The volunteers suc-
ceeded hi forcing the passage, but, finding no one on
the other side ready or willing to join them, they re-
tired, and were nearly cut off at Sursee."
The domestic news in the Paris papers is generally
utterly destitute of interest. The country is so quiet,
and the Government at present interferes so little in
public affairs, that the Opposition journals cannot
find out one grievance which would furnish arguments
against M. GUIZOT and his colleagues. The National,
it is true makes the attempt in reference to a detailed
account published in the Quotidienne, showing the
enormous losses sustained by the French fleets since
the death of Louis XVI., and thus upbraids Admiral
NIACKAU for his silence :—" If we had at the head of
our naval department a man anxious for the honour
of our flag, and the reputation of our sailors, we
should find him replying, by the official documents
which are in his possession, to statements which are
as false as they are injurious to our national pride.
But what are we to expect from men who show so
much humility towards the English Cahinet, and
who disavow every day some of our bravest cap-
tains ? "
As we published the article of the Quotidienne, it
is only fair to give the following reply to it from the
National, with this remark, that it is amusing to
find a French writer bringing a charge against the
English Government, of which no ruler ever was so
deservedly guilty as NAPOLEON :
" We can easily conceive that such false and incom-
plete calculations should find their u,y into the English
journals, fur it is the custom of the English, more than
of any other nation, to conceal their losses, and exagge-
rate those of their enemies ; but we may express our
surprise at seeing Frenchmen thus depreciating the
services and glory of our defenders, and rendering them-
selves the echoes of English boastings. If it were true,
as stated, that during twenty-two years of war the
French navy, after experiencing so many disasters, had
caused to the English a loss of only seven ships of the
line, and fourteen frigates captured, it would really be the
fable of Europe. Happily,, however, the tables which
have been published are incorrect, and were drawn
up in the culpable spirit of party. The English
who were in face of our sailors- in the days of
prairial year 2, in the combats of Alassio. Aboukir,
Algesiras, Trafalgar, and St. Domingo, know well how
vigorously victory was disputed, and how dearly they
purchased it. It will suffice, in order to show the omis-
sions of these tables, to cite the accounts given at the time
of the battle of Trafalgar. If in that battle the combined
fleets of France and Spain experienced a loss of twenty
ships of the line, sunk or captured, and of which four-
teen were French, the English on their side lost their
great Admiral Nelson, and had fourteen of their ships of
the line rendered incapable of service. We may judge
of the crippled state of the victorious fleet by a single
fact. On the day after the battle, the intrepid Cosmao
Kerjulien, captain of the Pluton, returned and recap-
tured, almost on the field of battle, three vessels which
had been taken. by the victors. This is not all. In the
account of the losses experienced by France eleven
ships of the line are given as wrecked, or burned by
accident. Now, it is notorious that England, compelled
to keep up for twenty-two years of war large squadrons
in every part of the globe, and frequently in quarters
where there is no shelter, lost a very large number of
ships, of which there was no mention."

We subjoin some miscellaneous extracts from the
foreign papers. The Augsburg Gazette has the fol-
lowing from Constantinople, Nov. 22 :
" The English Ambassador has quitted the capital
suddenly, on board a vessel which was at his disposal.
It is not known what route he has taken. Some per-
sons think that he is only gone oil a promenade; others
say that bis departure is the result of a difference with
the Porte, relative to an insult to the British Consul at
Trt bisonde."

A letter from Sigmaringen, sth instant, in the
Journal de Francfort, announces the marriage there
on that day of the Marquis JOACHIM NAPOLEON
PErot!, grandson of MURAT, with her Serene
Highness Princess FRIDADE. HOHENZOLLERN SIGMA-
BINGEN, youngest daughter of the reigning Prince.
A Vienna letter, of the sth states, that the late re-
duction of the duty on coffee in the Austrian States
has been so beneficial to the Treasury by the increase

of the consumption, that a further reduction is con-
templated. It is said also that the Austrian Govern-
ment intends to modify considerably its prohibitory

system.
The Messager states that the last accounts from
Algiers represent the state of the division of Algiers

and the south of Algeria to be perfectly satisfactory.

The tribes who have submitted are not only tranquil,
but bring their produce to the markets of the towns

occupied by the French, and appear disposed to apply

themselves zealously to the pursuits of industry. The
commerce of the coast is stated to be essiblished on a

firm basis.

AMERICAN NEWS

The Royal Mail steam•packet Britannia, Captain
Hewitt, arrived at Liverpool yesterday morning, at
ten o'clock. She brings fifty passengers, and papers
from New York to the Ist of December. The Cale-
donia was seen about a day's sail from Halifax, all
well.

The news by this conveyance is not politically im-
portant. Public attention was directed to the open-
ing of Congress, and much speculation was afloat as
to the future policy of the new President. The
Whigs were consoling themselves, that although they
were beaten, their views must be carried out by the
new Government, as they were able to resist any
measures which were not in accordance with their
supposed interests.
The annexation of Texas still continues a favourite
topic, and would, no doubt, be persisted in, if their
fears were not paramount to their wishes. The fol-
lowing are extracts :
(From the New lork Inquirer of Nov. 30.)
The approaching session of Congress will be a re-
markable one in some respects, but it will pass with-
out producing any result. The term fdr which Gen.
Harrison was elected President by a large majority
of the people, expires on the 4th of March next ; and
although John Tyler, by his treachery, has prevented
the Whigs carrying out the great measures to which
he, in common with our party, was solemnly pledged,
the Whigs are nevertheless responsible to the country
for all legislation up to the 4th of March. They can-
not, we know, pass the laws they believe necessary
for the welfare of the people ; but they can, and
must, and will prevent the adoption of any but Whig
measures.
This being the state of affairs, it follows, of course,
that the tariff will not be permitted to be touched
during the coming session, nor will Texas be ad-
mitted into the Union, except in connexion with the
adoption of great Whig measures, and upon terms
honourable to the good faith of the nation. After the
4th of March, Mr. Polk and his friends will be re-
sponsible for the legislation of the country; and then,
he and they will give or withhold from the people, as
they think proper, the measures which they have de-
manded by their recent action. at the polls. But
already we perceive the evidence of a design to.cheat
the people by avoiding the proper responsibility of
their acts; and with that view, attempts will be made
at the coming session to settle the Texas, Tariff, and
Oregon questions, and if difficulties grow out of such
legislation, Mr. Polk and the Loco Foco party will
say most truly that is is no affair of theirs, because
their responsibility ,does not commence until after the
4th of March next.
We entreat our Whig friends, and more particu-
larly the Whigs of the Senate, to bear in mind the
simple fact here stated ; and not to permit any Loco
Foco measures to 'be consummated by the existing
Congress. Even if some of our Whig Senators should
feel themselves instructed by the recent elections, we
call upon them in the ,name of the Whig party,
not to consider such instructions as having any
bearing' until after the 4th of March, 1845.
Then, and not till then, can Mi. Polk and his
friends be held responsible for the legislation of
the country;. and then, if they - will present to
the Senate a tariff such as Mr. Polk is pledged to
sustain, let that body adopt it. His tariff—the tariff
for which the people have voted—is twenty per cent.
ed valorem duty, and such discrimination under
twenty per cent. •as may be required for revenue !
If the Loco Focos will pass such a Bill in the House
of Representatives after the 4th of March, the Whigs
should not stop it in the Senate. But let them insist
upon such a Bill or the tariff of 1842. The one is a
Loco Foco, the other a Whig measure • and let the
two grand parties stand or fall by their measures.
The Northern Loco Focos will endeavour to shrink
from the responsibility of their position by a middle
course, and the adoption of Mr. M`Ray's Bill of last
session. • Against this the Whigs must at once set
their faces, giving their opponents to understand that
at this session the tariff cannot be touched, but after the
4th of March they will riot stand in the way of the
alteration for which the people voted and to which
Mr. Polk is pledged.--and thatif the Loco Focos dare
not give the people, Mr. Polk's tariff they must be
content with the Whig measure of 1842.
The propriety and justice of this policy must be
obvious to all; and we cannot doubt that our Whig
friends will act in concert as they have heretofore
done, in regard to all the great questions which have
agitated the count:T. Their
.object now should be,
to hold the Loco °co. party to their principles, and

NSIGNATION or SSNATORS.—We learn from the
Argus that the Hon. Silas Wright, Governor elect,
has tendered to the Governor his resignation as a Se-
nator of the United States; and that Mr. Tallmadge,
our other Senator, sometime since also resigned his
seat as one of the Senators of this State in the Senate
of the United States.

Fist.—The hull of the sloop Marshall, from Sau-
gerties, New York, lying at the foot of Canal-street,
with a cargo of hay, apples, grain, wood, &c., was en-
tirely destroyed by fire this morning at one o'clock.
No insurance on either cargo or vessel. The fire
caught from the stove-pipe running through the deck.
Captain C. Crawford, of the • ship Albany, from
Havre, informs us that on the voyage out and home, and
during the time he lay in Havre, he has not had
twenty-four hours at a time clear weather.
The Albany Argut of Friday morning says—" Ye-
sterday snow fell without intermission during the day;
to the depth of several inches. The river is filled with
ice. The Rochester was the only boat up yesterday,
and she remained at the wharf scarcely an hour. We
may have another to-day; but the chances are
against it."

FIRE AT TROT.—A fire broke out on Thursday,
afternoon in the paint-shop of J. S. Perry, in River-
street, Troy, which consumed four wooden buildings,
none of which was of much value. They were occu-
pied by the following persons :—J. S. Perry, paint-
shop ; Michael Bouhan, boot and shoe store ; John C.
Thomson, paint-shop; Peter Neels, tailor; Patrick
Rogers, dwelling-house ; Henry Hughes, fruit store ;
John Rikard, eamphine lamps and oil. Messrs.
Bouhan, Neels, and Hughes, also occupied with their
families the upper stories of their shops.
HORRIBLE MURDER AND SUICIDE.-011 Wed-

nesday last, Orrin Clover, of Annsville, Oneida county,
killed his wife by cutting her throat with a jack
knife, and afterwards killed himself by cutting his
throat. Jealousy was the cause.
Anornan SUICIDE.—SamueI Ball, an Englishman,
aged 22, hung himself at Onondaga on the 19th inst.
He had been employed by Mr. Ellis and Mr. Bron-
son as a labourer, and left about eighty dollars in
money and notes.-

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 28, FIVE P.m.—Taking into
consideration the extreme inclemency of the weather,
there was a fair amount of business done in stocks to-
day, and pretty generally at slightly advanced rates.
A north-easterly storm commenced at a very early
hour this morning, and at eight o'clock the roofs of
the houses were nearly covered with snow and frozen
rain. Shortly after it commenced raining, which
formed into ice directly after reaching terra firma,
our sidewalks were completely covered with ice, and
so slippery, that the boys found much amusement
upon their skates. This afternoon the weather is more
m►ld, and the ice has nearly diSappeared-
FROM MEXICO.--Mexican papers recently receive,'
at New Orleans, bring intelligence of the refusal of
the Chamber of Deputies to vote the loan required
by the Mexican Government to carry on the camplign
against Texas. The Government had presented to
the two branches of Congress a project of law, autho-
rising a national or foreign loan of ten millions of
dollars, for the purpose of defraying the expenses of
the Texan war. The Committee appointed by
the Chamber of Deputies to examine the project,
reduced the amount required to six millions. The
Bill was referred to another Committee, in whose
hands the amount was again reduced to three
millions. In this shape it was submitted ."Xl Congress
on the 15th ult., and was discussed with great ardour
and vehemence. On the 16th, a vote was taken and
the Bill rejected-44 to 17. It is also stated that the
utmost discord prevails between the Government and
Congress. This want of mutual understanding clogs
all the operations of the Administration. Don Ignacio 6

Trigueros has resigned the office of Minister of Fi-
nance. Fco. Lombardo has been appointed Minister
ad interim. The best informed in Mexican affairs be-
lieve that a revolution is inevitable.

GENERAL NOTT.—We lament to learn that Major-
General Nott, now residing at Carmarthen, amongst us,
is so seriously ill as to create apprehensions of his ulti-
mate recovery. The severity of the weather during the
past week, it is believed, has been the chief cause of re-
lapse.—The Welshman.
G. Grote, Esq., formerly M.P. for the City of
London, has become the purchaser of the East Burnham
Park estate from R. Gordon, Esq., late M.P. for Wind-
sor ; as also the lease of the same from the executors of
the late Mr. W. Dancer.—Windsor Express.
