present system of corn-laws, modified even by the imposition
of fixed duties, results thus inconsistent can be realised—of
plenty to the Exchequer with destitution to the people—this
is, alone, sufficient reason for their immediate abolition.

tters received from Dresden, of the 23d instant, leave no
doubt that the Government and the Lower Chamber of the
States are in direct opposition on several important questions.
It will be recollected that the Chamber adopted an address to
his IVIAJEsTr contrary to the wishes of his Ministers.
This circumstance gave the Cabinet great annoyance,
and a council was held in consequence to consider whether
the KING should not at once dissolve the assembly and issue
writs for a new election. After mature, deliberation, this
proposition was rejected on the ground that in the present
excited state of the public mind, such a measure
would only increase the irritation. It appears alsothat another
symptom of misunderstanding had manifested itself During
the discussion on the propriety of drawing up an address,
one of the KING'S Ministers declared that certain words used
by one of the speakers were revolutionary, and the President,
on the subject being referred for bis opinion, said the lan.
guage was perfectly in order. The Chamber also requires
important reforms in the courts of law, substituting oral for
written testimony, a reduction in the standing army, and
establishment of a national guard or militia to perform cer
tain military duties now entrusted to the regular army.

We have intelligence from Madrid to the 23d instant, ac-
cording to which new conspiracies had been discovered, both
in the east 'and west of the Peninsula. The Heraldo states
that sixteen persons bad been arrested at Valencia in con-
sequence of another plot against the Government, and the
Castellano contains a letter from Salamanca announcing that
the whole of the cavalry and infantry in that town had been
ordered to march to the frontiers of Portugal, in order to
watch some revolutionary movement anticipated in the Tras
os Montes. NARVAEZ, accompanied by the Captain-Ge-
neral and Governor of Madrid, inspected all the barracks of
the capital on the 23d. Additional troops continued to
arrive. One of the journals states that " active preparations
are now in the course of being made fur the construction Of
a railway from Cordova to Malagra. The English engineers
are already on their way here to survey this line."

" God Save the

The articles in the Paris papers, with the exception, per-
haps, of one, possess little interest for the English reader.
That one appears in the Journal des Debats, and relates to
the waaton, unjust, and wicked attacks made by certain
London journals on the character of the French nation, and
the pretence set up by (we are glad to say) only one jour-
nal of respectability for keeping possession of Chusan. The
..rournal des Debats is justly celebrated for the ability of its
writing, the calm good sense, and the peaceful impartial
tone which pervades its 'columns. A reproach from a
paper like this tells, therefore, with great effect, and
cannot fail to be felt by every upright English-
man, the more especially when it is known that
there is but too much truth in its sarcastic remarks.
We only entreat our Contemporary, and the French
in general, not to take sentiments expressed in certain Lon-
don papers as the sense of the nation, or as an indication that
the wished-for peace with our powerful neighbour is at all
diminished in the breasts of our countrymen. If the people
were polled throughout Great Britain and Ireland, we believe
not one in a hundred would he found to concur in the offen •
sive remarks which from time to time have been
directed against the whole French nation. In ani-
madverting on the proposition to retain Chusan
in violation of • treaties, that journal makes the
following remarks :—" The English did not take time to
appreciate all its advantages, and, instead of appropriating
Chusan to themselves, they took possession of a frightful rock,
the den of pirates and smugglers, and caused the island of
Hong-Kong to be permanently ceded to them. They have
not been able to do anything with this sad conquese, not-
withstanding all the money they have expended, and Hong-
Kong has been a sort of burial-place for the troops and British
residents. As to Chusan, it has been occupied by the English,
but only provisionally, and it has been stipulated that it shall
be restored to China on the day when the last portion of the
ransom agreed upon shall be paid. If the English have not
been able to habituate themselves to Hong-Kong, they have
well accustomed themselves to Chusan. During the three years
that they have had for experiencing all the inconveniences of
their permanent possession, they have been equally able to
appreciate all the advantages of their provisional possession,
and the regret that they feel at having established them-
selves at Hong-Kong, doubles that which they feel at being
obliged to quit Chusan. What is worth taking is worth
keeping, says a proverb; and the English journals are for
keeping what they have got. They are desirous, therefore,
of finding a means of retaining Chusan, without having the
appearance of violating too openly the faith of treaties.
We remember having a month or two ago insinuated,
without meaning any harm, that the English would seek
for some pretexts to put the Chinese in the wrong, and
they would not be sorry to receive some offence, in order
to have the right of demanding reparation. This inno•
cent assertion caused a certain outcry in the English press,
and regret was expressed that a journal, generally so mo-
derate, should thus take part in the accusation directed
against the ambition and . cupidity of England. We
were really almost affected at these reproaches, and were be-
ginning to ask ourselves whether we bad not given way,
without wishing it, to some old feeling of jealousy. Un-
fortunately, however, a light has come from the East. All
In a leading article on the potato murrian, published in the letters from India and China call for Chusan, and one
our impression of' the 25th instant, we made the following of the members of the Colonial Government is coming
