of JACOB, and "sold his birthright for a mess of pottap."
He wanted money t' fit out his new dome...tic tabli,it-
naent as Emperor, and sold the right of France to a
rich country, extending for 2,000 miles in length and
650 in breadth, producing everything that France
most required. No acquisition could have
been so valuable in every respect, and, though
England in the course of the war might have
seized New Orleans, and formally taken possession of
the country, at the general peace, it would to a certainty
have been restored. Yet, by BONAPARTE'S base and
selfish act, it was lost to France for ever : her only
hold on the American continent was gone, and
the finest opportunity for creating shipping and
colonies, and a powerful royal navy, was sacri-
ficed for the paltry consideration of 400,000
dollars. It would be impossible to point out any
one instance of more egregious political folly; yet M.
Duxes, the blind worshipper of NAPOLEON, finds no
fault with him for the transaction, but spends all big
eulogies on the deeds of his hero at Austerlitz,
and Jena, and the conquests he made on the Continent,
which speedily vanished like the morning mist. NA-
POLEON was the greatest enemy France ever had,
and had she suffered no other losses than that
of Louisiana, ought, for that deed alone, to be
execrated by every good Frenchman. We advi,e,
therefore, these instigators of war between England and
America to look at home, and mind their own affairs.
They will find that, though England has lost much
colonial territory, she still has more than she
really wants, and that France, in that re-
spect, is reduced to the very lowest ebb among
the nations of Europe. We called the attention of these
fire-eaters some days ago to the humiliating condi-
tion in which the French Chamber of Deputies placed
themselves by refusing the insolent demand of one mil-
lion sterling made by America. The Sieck, no friend to
England, admits the truth of our remarks in these
words :

" We shall take no part in the dispute ; all that we have to
do is to state facts, and, if possible, prevent a collision. 'We
are far from depreciating the interests engaged in the Oregon
question, and if it should be settled by a war, it is well
known on what side our good wishes would be ; but it ap-
pears to us that the affair of twenty-five millions of francs
demanded from France has proved that American democracy
can push its demands beyond what is just. We admire the
enterprising boldness of this republic, and sincerely desire its
grandeur, but we must not accustom it to think that its
equity is to have no other standard than itsown pretensions."

We trust that the Liberals of Hertfordshire mean to
make some effort to prevent the representation of their
county from passing quietly, if pass it must, from Lord
GRIMSTON to another Peelite. The Hertford Mercury
has named a number of gentlemen who ought to be
looked to by the Liberal party upon this occasion, and
among them Mr. BRAND (who has old and strong claims
on the county), Sir BULWER LYTTON, Mr. SPENCER
COWPER, and Mr. BLAKE, formerly Member for New-
port. Where there is such abundance of likely candi-
dates, it will be hard, indeed, if no candidate turns up.
At such a time as this no county----even where the
chances are much worse than any one can pretend to
consider them in Hertfordshire—should be suffered to
go uncontested. Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S and Lord MOR-
pvni's letters have suddenly dashed away the distinc-
tion between Whigs and Free-traders. The cause of
the Anti-Corn-law League is now the cause cf the whole
Liberal party. A week ago there might have been jea-
lousies and shades of opinion in the party ; that is now
It an end—we hope and believe for ever. When Lord
MORPETH has sent his subscription for Mr. COBDEN'iI vote-
making machinery, we do not expect to hear ever again
objections to League interference from Whig mouths; and
Mr. COBDEN has made the amende honourable to
Lord JOHN RUSSELL and the Whigs for all that he
may ever have said distasteful to their feelings. Let
Hertfordshire then seize the opportunity, and be, as
she may be, the first county to show the bread-tax Mi-
nister the determined union of the whole Liberal party
against the starvation laws, to which his Cabinet have
nailed their colours. The battle may not be won; but
a victory now for corn-laws and famine will carry no
joy to the heart of Sir ROBERT PEEL.

If we remember right, Mr. BAKER, a Hertfordshire
farmer, has been one of the orators at the great League
meetings in Covent-garden. We should like to have
proof furnished of the extent to which the knowledge
disseminated by the League, with such untiring perse-
verance, and on so many various waya—by lecturers,
orators, public meetings, tracts—has told among the
farmers. There is no knowing this till one tries. Con-
tests bring out converts. A contest now may ensure
victory at the next election, if it is not within reach at
this moment. Defeats beget resolutions and energy
for the future. Besides, when we hear on all sides of
Tories flinging party overboard, and proclaiming them-
selves free-traders, there is no saying how many unex-
pected recruits may come, when the issue of the con-
test will be famine or free-trade. By all means Hert-
fordshire should be fought.

Another election is impending, also, in the borough o
Woodstock, where about four hundred Englishmen, in.
vested with the elective franchise, as a trust to be exer-
cised for their country, have twice, within the last
eighteen months, written themselves slaves of the Duke
of MARLBOROUGH, and are now called upon a third time
to do the same. Is there no hope, in this crisis, of
something better even at Woodstock ? Is there no
shame among these four hundred freemen ? Past pro-
ceedings have shown that there is no shame in the dege-
nerate Nobleman who domineers over their consciences.
But we cannot believe that the electors of Woodstock do
not pant for deliverance from the disgraceful thraldom in
which the Duke of MARLBOROUGH has held them ; and
we could wish to see some man of spirit giving them the
opportunity, and going to beard this ducal lion in his
den. The once glorious name of CHURCHILL is known
now to stink in Woodstock. The Duke's electoral serfs
are most unwilling slaves. If an opposing candidate were
to appear, all political questions might possibly be
merged in the question of the Duke of MARLBOROUGH'S
personal unpopularity. But even as to politics, rotten
potatoes may teach the Woodstock electors much. If
Lord ALAN CHURCHILL, the Duke's nominee, will not
promise to help to give them cheap bread, he should
have the full benefit of their rotten potatoes.

' T The Opposition awl Ministerial journals are occupied
with Lti,terS on thel state of the relations of France vv. th
Rots and long comments on them. The Constitutionnel
began the attack, accusing Captain PAGE, sent out to
the Plata on a special mission, for neglecting his duty
and suffering,himself to be duped by the artifices of
Rosas, and his daughter. But the Const:tutionnel rec-
koned without its host. Captain PAGE, in a spirited
letter, denies every word of the statements put fold).
We subjoin that letter, with the comments of the
Journal des Debuts, which may be useful in explaining
some of the mysterious proceedings in that quarter.
Captain PAGE addressed the following letter to the Con--
st tuticnnel :
" I have read in your number of to-day a recital entirely
fabulous, relating to the presentation of letters which accre•
dited me to General Rosas, Governor of Buenos Ayres. lam
perfectly aware, Mr. Editor, that every man who has the
honour of being called upon to serve the King's Govern-
ment in La Plata must expect the most injurious attacks
front a system of falshood and calumny which has for years
been organised in order to delude Europe, and draw it into
unjustifiable measures. I, however, owe, to the dignity of an
officer commanding one of the King's ships, and charged
with a special mission to declare—first, that the letter which
you have published was delivered by myself into the hands of
his Excellency M. Arena, Minister for Foreign Affairs of the
Argentine Confederation, to be fully and entirely communi-
cated to his Excellency General Rosas, according to the
orders I had received ; secondly, that this letter was re-
turned to me by M. Arena himself, and that it is still in my
possession ; thirdly, that at the time of the presentation of
this letter, and of my first audience of General Roses, I had
never in my life seen Donna Manuelita, his daughter ; con-
sequently I give the most formal contradiction to whoever
may dare to repeat or maintain the truth of the fable you
have published as to the pretended intervention of Donna
Manuelita in the presentation of the letters which accredited
me to the Governor of the Argentine Confederation."
The attack made by the Const:tutionnel calls forth a
severe reply from the Government paper, and reminds
M. THIERS of his boasting on the Syrian affair. " What
were the wishes of the French Government," says the
Journal des Debats, "in accordance with that of Great
Britain ? It wished to establish peace on both sides of
the Plata ; it wished to put an end to a war at variance
with the general interests of commerce, and to acts of
hostility contrary to existing treaties. But it did not,
nor does it now, wish to overturn the Government of
Buenos Ayres ; it never had any motive for private ani-
mosity against the man who is its legal and acknowledged
chief; it was never within its intentions any more than
within its tastes to interfere in the internal affairs of
the Argentine Re-public, nor to substitute any other
authority for that which was established. The Govern-
ment then was right, before resorting to an armed inter-
vention, to endeavour to gain its end by pacific mediation,
It desired nothing better than to see Rosas voluntarily
accept the mediation of the two powers, instead of being
obliged to use compulsion. To re-establish peace by
force upon the banks of the River Plata was an un
grateful task for both Governments, and even for the
military and naval forces employed in it. Little, very
little glory was to be gained by it, and the disdainful
attitude of the sailors of the two countries, amidst the
contests of these two pitiable republics, of these
questionable nationalities, sufficiently prove the
estimate they make of them. Had they no other object
than to save the expenditure of money and exertion,
which might be better employed, the endeavours of the
French Government to bring the question to a pacific
resolution would be more than sufficiently justified. The
intervention will be carried, we do not doubt, to such an
extent as circumstances may render It necessary. This
is a question which the two Governments reserve to
themselves the right of deciding upon. But, throughout
the whole affair, the French Government has nothing to
disavow, nothing to regret. It has first tried con-
ciliatory means, before having recourse to coercion.
Is not this better than the reverse ? Is not acting thus
more worthy a Government like that of France than to
begin with menaces, and then recal them?—to send a
fleet the moment of negotiating, and then withdraw it
when the time of fighting is come? We do not wish to
make a great noise about the expedition to La Plata,
but we candidly ask, is it not at least worth the cam- .
paign in Syria ?"
The following statement of facts, which we find in
Galignani, shows the deplorable state of the law of libel in
France :

" Several of the journals complain in strong terms of a
recent decision of the Court of Cassation. The Constitu-
tionnel had published a rather severe criticism upon a
tragedy by M. Loyau de Lacy, and had refused to in-
sert the defence of that gentleman in the way that lie
desired. Application was made to the tribunals to compel
the Constitutionnet to comply with what M. Loyau and
his professional advisers considered to be the law, and
which declares that any person attacked by a journal in
a way injurious to his character, interests, or reputation, shall
have the right of reply; but it was decided by ,the Cour
Royale that a criticism upon a literary production, in which
there is no personal animus against the author, is not of the
nature of attack for which a remedy is provided by law. On
an appeal to the supreme court this decision was reversed,
and it was declared that a simple designation of the name of
an author gives him an absolute right of reply, which the
offending journal is bound to insert. It may readily be con-
ceived that this decision has caused great surprise, and given
much annoyance to the public press."

There was a dull market for Cotton at Liverpool on Satur-
day. Sales only 1,000 bags, at previous rates.
The fact that a very large amount of bullion has been
transmitted to the Irish and Scotch Banks previously to the
new Act relative to them coming into operation on the
6th instant, has scarcely been taken into account, in
considering the diminution in the stocks of the pre-
cious metals recently held by the Bank of England. For
Scotland alone, it is represented by a correspondent
of the Times (a Scottish banker), that 2,000,000/. in gold
and silver must hereafter be kept in the coffers of the banks
of that portion of Great Britain. We have before stated that
a very inconsiderible amount of bullion would be required
for exportation to the Continent, to pay for grain sent here,
and for the especial good reason that the stocks on hand there
are not over-abundant. But even were such to be the fact,
the managers of the Corporation would be pleased to be eased
of two or three millions in this way, as they have an im-
mense quantity of gold and silver on hand beyond their
requirements.
The last instalment of the loan guaranteed by Parliament
for carrying on public works in Canada has been called for.
The amount required is 60,000/., which will complete the
total sum that was allotted by the Legislature for the pur-
poses in question. The contract is too small to affect the
Money Market in any way. Tenders are to be made for it
on Friday next. The last bargain in loan made was at 110.
It is held almost exclusively by rich men, and transactions in
it are of very rare occurrence.
The period having now passed for the deposit of plans,
sections, &c. with the Board of Trade, no time should be lost
on the part of the " promoters"— of Committees, whether of
" management" or " provisional"—to call meetings of those
interested, and to provide the funds for liquidating
all claims upon them. By the Act of last session, all such
" promoters, ' or by any other name whatsoever designated,
are held responsible for all expenses incurred. And it is
truly ludicrous to find men, who for months have permitted
their nausea to figure among lists of provisional committees,
now gravely informing the public by means of an advertise.•
ment, that his or their names were used without sanction,
and that they have " withdrawn " from them. Such indi-
viduals will, without question, find that the parties who have
claims upon committees of management will not let them off
so easily as appears to be contemplated. An example ought,
and must be made, of parties who, while premiums could be
obtained for scrip, said not a word about their names having
been used without sanction, but when an adverse state of
things occurs, endeavour to sneak out of the responsibilities
they have incurred.
There are so arrivals of importance to-day in the City.
The Funds have been rather more firm to- day. Consols
for Account have advanced to 95 and for Money 95. There
is, however, not much business doing. Exchequer-bills have
fluctuated only from 19s. to 21s. premium. India Bonds
are at 38s. premium,:and the New Three-and-a-Quarter per
Cents. are at 95%
For the Foreign Funds a quiet market has prevailed to-
day. Spanish Actives have been in request at 27% ; and the
Three per Cents. at 363. The Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents. are firm at 581/2 ; and the Four per Cents. Certificates
are at 92. Mexican Stock opened at 30!,2, and is now at
31. The Portuguese Four per Cents. have advanced from
551,¢ to 57.
The Railway Share Market is in an excited state this
morning. Of the vast number of projects deposited regu-
larly, not a moiety is expected to pass the standing orders.

The Earl and Countess _
Saturday, on a visit to Viscoun
Frognal-lodge, Kent.
Earl and Countess Cowper, accompanied by
Viscount and Viscountess Jocelyn and the Hon. 'William
Cowper, arrived at Pansanger, near Hertford, on Saturday
last, from Sandringham, the Hon. C. Spencer Cowper's seat
near Lynn.
By the demise of the Right Hon. Lady Lillias
Oswald, formerly of Auchincruive, in Ayr, North Britain,
tint late of Lausanne, in Switzerland, the sum of 30,0001.,
part of the life interest which her Ladyship enjoyed from the
residuary estate under the will of her late husband, Richard
Alexander Oswald, Esq., reverts to his grand-daughter, then
Miss Lindsey, now Mrs. de Blonay (wife of Godefroy de Blo-
nay, Esq.). The will of her Ladyship, who died in Septem-
ber last, has just been proved by her executors, by which
she has also left her property and contingent right under her
late husband's will, principally amongst his relatives, and
has appointed Mrs. de Blonay her residuary legatee and one
of her executors. Her personal property in England was
sworn under 6,0001.
The Marquis :and Marchioness of Lansdowne do
not intend to receive company at Bowood Park until Christ-
mas. The Noble Marquis, on his arrival at Bowood on
Friday afternoon, from visiting the Duke and Duchess of
Somerset, at Wimbledon Park, had the gratification to learn
that his daughter, Lady Louisa Howard, had, on the previous
day, given birth to a son, and, with her infant, was as well as
could be desired.

Earl and Countess De Grey, who arrived at Bath
from Wrest Park, Beds, the week before last, do not intend
to come to town before the end of February. It was arranged
that the Earl and Countess were to entertain a large party at
Wrest, but the Noble Earl had a return of his troublesome
complaint, which caused his hasty departure for Bath.

MEETING OF THE WEST RIDING OF YORKSHIRE IN
FAVOUR OF FREE TRADE.—The Leeds Mercury states that
the free-traders of the West Riding have determined to pre-
sent a requisition to the High Sheriff to convene a public
meeting of the Riding with as little delay as possible, to
consider the propriety of petitioning her Most Gracious Ma-
jesty to call Parliament together without loss of time, for
the purpose of removing immediately all legislative restric-
tions on the free importation of articles of food into this
country, and to cause such other measures to be taken as
she in her wisdom may be pleased to direct for providing an
adequate supply of food for the people of this country. To
this requisition are already attached the signatures of Sir
Francis Lindley Wood. Bart. ; Francis Hawksworth
Fawkes, Esq. ; W. B. Wrightson, Esq., M.P. ; Charles

FRAUDULENT DEBTORS.-Sir James Graham has
issued a circular respecting fraudulent debtors, and such as
are not convicted of fraud, to the following effect:—Sir
James Graham is of opinion, that a marked difference should
exist in the treatment of debtors who are confined in conse-
quence of fraud, or disobedience of the rules of the Court
before which the case was heard, and those who are simply
held for safe custody and on ordinary process. He then re-
commends that the latter should be separated from the
other prisoners as far as the gaol will admit, and to have
constant communication with their solicitors, in private, if
preferred. It is hoped that this order will act beneficially
to those who are unfortunate debtors only, and not guilty of
fraud.—Observer.

MARKET -r; E IV -

CORN EXCHANGE-MONDAY.
During the past week up to Saturday evening, the arrivals
of Wheat, of home produce, for our market coastwise, was on
a very moderate scale; but those of English Barley, Oats,
Beans, Peas, and Flour were rather extensive, and of full
average quality. Of Irish and Scotch Oats, as well as foreign
Wheat and Oats, the receipts were tolerably good. From
Essex and Kent the arrivals of wheat fresh up, were far from
extensive; hence the show of samples, the largest portion of
which were considerably out of condition, was no means large.
The attendance of both- town and country buyers w,is too le-
rately good, and who purchased most of the finest quali-
ties of both red and white, at in some instances, a
shade above the currencies btained on this day se'nnight.
As this trifling advance was not general, our quotations re-
main as last advised. In the middling and inferior kinds of
Wheat very little was doing, yet the holders were firm, and
would not submit to any reduction in the quotations.
Except, therefore, for really fine parcels, the mar-
ket closed anything but firm. The quantity of free
foreign Wheat, comparatively speaking, small, but fully
adequate to meet the wants of the millers, who pur-
chased that article cautiously at about last week's prices.
Wheat, under lock, was a mere drug; while for all other
grain there was scarcely any speculative inquiry. Large
arrivals of Barley having taken place, the show of samples of
that grain was large, but at least two-thirds of them were of
inferior quality. Malting parcels sold readily at extreme
quotations, but all other kinds hung heavily on hand, though
they cannot be considered cheaper. Superfine white Malt
was in good request, and last week's prices were well sup-
ported. In other qualities little doing. Notwithstanding the
large arrivals of Oats, several vessels having come in from
from Ireland since Saturday, there was a very steady
trade with fine qualities, at a trifle more money. In the
middling and inferior parcels a good business was doing,
and prices were well supported. The show of Beans being
large the demand ruled heavy, at a decline in value of
from is to 2s per quarter, and a clearantee was not effected.
We had a very large quantity of Peas in the market,
which sold slowly, at a reduction in the quotations of from
Is to 2s per quarter. The Flour trade was steady, at pre-
vious figures.

SZTXT2IFIELD.
In the past week the imports of live stock for our market
from Hamburgh have consisted of 33 Oxen and Cows, toge-
ther with 13 Sheep, per the Countess of Lonsdale and the
Neptune steamers. From Harlingen we have received 101
Cows, and 52 Sheep, per the Rapid; and from Rotterdam
64 Oxen and Cows and 207 Sheep, per the Venezuela and the
Batavia, We bad on sale 90 Oxen and Beasts, and 120
Sheep, in, for the most part, good condition.
The whole found buyers, at about previous quotations.
At the outports, about 90 Beasts and 150 Sheep have come
to hand from Holland. From our own grazing districts, the
arrivals of Beasts fresh up this morning were large, even the
time of year considered,:and of full average quality, especially
as relates to those from the western counties. As was the
case on this day se'nnight, the attendance of buyers was
numerous, owing to which the Beef trade was steady, and
last week's quotations were well supported. The northern
droves comprised 1,800 Short-horns ; those from the western
and midland districts, 800 Herefords, Devons, Runts, &c.;
from other parts of England, 700 of various breeds ;
from Ireland, 200 Beasts; and from Scotland, 100 Scots.
The supply of Sheep exhibited a slight falling off. Prime
old Downs soldreadily, at very full prices, viz., from 4s 10d
to 5s per 81bs ; but all other breeds were a slow inquiry, at
barely stationary figures. In Calves, only a limited business
was transacted. In prices we can notice no alteration.
Although the number of Pigs was good, the Pork trade ruled
firm, at late rates.
