confession of her faults. -Repentance supposes exp7a-
tiou. In polities,.asin mirality, no one is freed from
the obligation of repah in; a wrong which they have
admitted. The dignify of Great Britain appears to
us interested that her Government ahould efface, with-
out delay, the trace of the violence committed upc.n
the coast of Africa by her cruisers, ,withcut which
the nation which boastS of having conquered the do-
main of the ocean may well be placed upon a line
with the miserable pirates who male a trade of skim.
ming the seas."

The opinion of the Constitutiwznel is thus ex-
pressed :

" The Minister of Foreign Affairs, into whose
Hands fall the energetic remonstrances of the Govern-
ments whose rights the English navy so grossly
violate, does not hesitate to condemn certain acts of
the cruisers, and has called upon the Lords of the Ad-
miralty to take measures for preventing a repetition of
them. This is the first step in the path of candour
and good faith, and we cannot too strongly encourage
the British Ministry to persevere in pursuing it."
The Quotidienne says—
"We highly approve of this letter, and the spirit
by which it was dictated ; and if it be true that he
French journals have had anything to do in producing
it, we congratulate them cn their success ; but this
return of England to a snore just and honourable con-
duct will not change the terms of the question so far
as it regards France. The right of search is con-
demned, justly condemned, by the unanimous opinion
of all parties. Jt is now no longer a question between
France and England, but between the people and the
Government."

The National, of course, exults in the publi-
cation of the document, and seizes the opportu-
nity for making the most violent attacks on M.
GUIZOT and the English nation.

The ordonnance opening a supplementary
credit of 300,000 f. to the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs for extraordinary jmissions, is objected to
by the Opposition journals on the ground that
the sum already voted by the Chambers was
sufficiently large, and also because they charged
M. GUIZOT with inventing missions to reward
his immediate partisans and disarm his political
opponents.

M. DE RIBEAUPIERRE, one of the most dis-
tinguished Russian diplomatists, and former
Ambassador in Berlin, had arrived at Paris.
.JunELI/kr, who has been successively Governor of
Senegal, Cayenne, and Guatlitloupc, had been
appointed member of the Board of Admiralty.
According to the Commerce, SIMOIT DEUTZ,
who betrayed the Duchess of BERRY into the
hands of the police, is to be conveyed to Aus-
tralia, where the French Government will pro-
vide him with means of existence.

A

strange story has reached us, of so painful and
delicate a nature, that it is with extreme reluctance
that we allude to it at all ; but as the matter in-
volves royal and public, as well as private
considerations, we should consider that we had failed
in our duty to the public were we to preserve
total silence on the subject. The "mishap,' we are
informed, relates
.to one of the most noble families
in England, and the other party involved is of a still
higher rank. The Queen, we understand, has been
appealed to, as the circumstances of the case impera-
tively demand that the injury should be atoned for
by a speedy marriage. The father of the "irre-
sistible " is said to be on this point inexorable. But
we must refrain, in the present stage of the proceed-
ings, from saying more on so delicate a subject, in-
volving, as it does, consequences so important, social,
political, and royal.—The British Queen of this day.
A supplement to the London Gazette has been pub-
lished this day., containing an account of the investi-
ture of the King of Saxony with the order of the
Garter, which will appear in a Third Edition.

AMERICAN NEWS.

EXPRESS FROM LIVERPOOL.
LIVERPOOL SATURDAY MORNING,
THREE O'CLOCK.
We have received New York Papers of the
Ist. inst., by the packet ship South America,
Captain Bailey, after a very rapid pas-
sage of twenty days. The new is one
day later than that received by the Acadia,
and possesses no feature of any interest to the
English .reader. The following report of the
Money Market we copy from the New York
Herald:—
"The Stock Market offers no new features.
Sales are very sma►l, and prices generally worse.
Mohawk fell 1 per cent., Stonington Harlemi,
Kentucky State 6's rose 4.
There has been a good business doing for_ the
packet in sterling bills, and rates are fair at 8 to
•
81 per cent.
The general features of the Money Market re-
main nearly the same.
The banks of Virginia have returned to specie
payments now some, two weeks since, the rates
rule as low as is healthy. On the sea board and
gull, Alabama is now the only point of sw-
pension, and there it is a matter much more dif-
ficult to deal with than at any other point.
CORN TRADE.—The market is very quiet—
never more so. Flour falls a little every week,
and grain follows suit, although not quite so
rapidly. The very best brands of Canal can now
be purchased, at 4,50 dols. a barrel, and other
kinds in proportion. It. is now ascertained that
the average price throughout the Union is a
little below 4,00 do's. a barrel.
LATER FROM CANADA.
The British Government has refused its consent to
change the legislative capital of Canada from King-
ston to Toronto and Quebec, four years alternately,
as had been requested. The great expenses caused
this refusal. A dispatch to this effect from Lord
Stanley, of 18th Nov., 1841, was laid before the Pro-
vincial Parliament on the 26th inst.
It is generally supposed that a general amnesty
will he authorised by the Canadian Government to-
wards all those who were banished during the retie.

One of the most admirable features in the character
of American society is this—that men never boast of
their riches, and never disguise their poverty; but
they talk of both as of any other matter fit for public
conversation. No man shuns another because he is
poor; no man is preferred to another because he is
rich. In hundreds and hundreds of instances, men
not worth a shilling have been chosen by the people
