TO CORRESPONDENTS.
••• In the Political Department of the STAR, hs Readers are swat
that due attention has been paid to the importance of the events pro-
gressing in FRANCE. This Paper not only presents the spirit of the
best French Journals ; but the original observations of an intelligent
Correspondent in Paris, are occasionally introduced in its columns•
The Revolutions in BELGIUM, POLAND, and SWITZERLAND, are
events which have so rapidly succeeded each other, that a Journalist has
found it difficult to make his arrangements keep pace,wids his desire
gratify his readers, with the easliest information. These anangemen&
will not be neglected; but, in the mean time, the conductors of the STAR
invite public men, in all countries, who desire that interesting facts and
statements should, in an 1110OARIMED MANNER, be laid before the
British nation. to transmit the same to the Sian Office, London. They
are particularly anxious to receive original communications from Bel-
gium and Poland; and also from Italy, Spain, Portugal, Prussia, and
Austria, whether from English travellers or residents, a:public-spirited
natives. Hitherto the world has been hood-winked by Journals and
Gazettes, published under arbitrary suroeillesos; but &genuine British
Journal ought to derive its information, as far as possible, from less
suspicious sources ; and this it is the determination, of the conductors
of the STAR, to effect as far as possible.

LONDON.

TUESDAY, JANUARY 4.

Another conference of the five great Powers on the affairs
of Belgiurd, took place this day at the Foreign Office, in
Downing-street.
--...---

We think it proper to call our RaeAlers' attention to our
exclusive extracts from the French Papers, in the adjoining
page—particularly the extracts announcing some further
steps in the progress of the revolution in Switzerland.

Quebec and Montreal Papers to the Ist and 3d December
are this day received, at the North and South American
Coffee-house. By the former we learn, that the legislature
of Upper Canada had been further prorogued to the 17th
December ; and that the legislature of New Brunswick had
summoned, for the despatch of business, on the 7th
The Montreal Papers state,that the intelligence
was far from being of a favourable nature; but
the confusion there are not distinct.

MP

The Message of President Licxsolt, delivered at the
meeting of Congress, on the 7th December, is a document
replete with the good sense, and sound judgment, which,
almost up to the present period of North American inde-
pendence, has, with happy uniformity, distinguished similar
documents. Previously to Gen. JAcx sox's election to his
present distinguished situation, his character had a colour
'given to It, which made the admirers of American mode-
ration, tremble a little for its preservation ; but as far
as his conduct bas yet developed his character, we think be
displays as much temperate judgment, and regard, for
sound policy, as any of his predecessors.
In the review which he has given of the relations, at
present existing with the nations of Europe, it is highly
satisfactory to bear him attribute to Great Britain, in her
late negotiations with the United States, " the most frank and
friendly spirit ;" and that they have been "concluded in a man-
ner, strongly indicative of a sincere desire, to cultivate the best
relations with the United States." This is the policy which,
we hope, will always actuate this country, in negotiation,
with her full-grown daughter. It is essential for the inte-
rests, and certainly consonant to the feelings, of both mother
and daughter, to keep up something approximating to the
natural affections between them ; and we think we observe
this sentiment much more perspicuously, than formerly, per-
vading the literature of both.

It was to be expected, that the late revolution in France
would call forth some expression of congratulation from the
present PRESIDENT. The terms used on the occasion, are at
the same time, judicious and energetic ;—judieious in marking
adherence to the sound policy of non-intervention ; and ener-
getic in marking, as the peculiar cause of American con-
gratulation and joy, the success of that maxim, " auspicious
to the dearest interests of mankind," that " the public will,
should be the paramount authority."
It is pleasing to observe Russian and Austrian policy, as
regards their relation with the United States, spoken of in
terms of unambiguous amity; and that, generally, the inter-
national affairs of the United States, are well arranged. for
a continuance of peace and commercial prosperity.
Of the internal prosperity of the United States, the Mes-
sage likewise affords the most satisfactory evidence ; and that
part of the Message, which treats of the negociations with
" the red men of the south and west," is in the highest degree
creditable, both to the President, and the people he repre-
sents. As we have more than once inserted in the STAR,
the affecting appeal to Congress, of the tribes alluded to,
some explanation, always appeared to us, was required, to
the world, as to the policy of the American Government,
towards them. Races, of the human species, so anoma-
lously situated, and so apparently unimprovable, could not
fail to interest the philanthropist. We are happy, there-
fore, to receive so able, and convincing an apology—
we are happy to observe that principles of justice
towards the red men, are not disavowed, as they have so
frequently been, to the disgrace of what has so often past
under the ambiguous terra—civilization. " As a Govern
mint," says the enlightened
PRESIDENT, "we have as
little right to controul them, as we have to pre.
scribe laws to foreign states." This maxim ad-
mitted, the result has been a nsgociation, on the
fair principles of remuneration for inconveniencies to be
suffered, and advantages to be obtained; and thus "the
waves of civilisation and population, in rolling to the
westward," are occasioning, it is to be hoped, as
little misery, as inflexible circumstances will admit.
A doubt, however, will still remain in he mind of the phi-
losopher. Can any race of men remain unalterable, or un-
improvable, by circumstances, suited to produce their im-
provement ? And if so, is not the acknowledgment of their
gradual extirpation, still an acknowledgment of some defi-
ciency, in the energies of the benevolent ?
to

The property-tax in 1815, proved the real annual value of
all our real property, was about 51 millions, and on this, and
industry, the Goverment have taxed and assessed to the
amount of 70 millions. But in such a condition, Cernuites
himself could not have imagined, that by destroying
the local currency of the country bankers, any
Government would have reduced private incomes
one half, and the real property to 30 millions, and yet
continue to collect the 70 millions ! This is the key to all
our social difficulties. The restrictions on the country
bankers, who's secured currency, would at least be
as secure as Bank of England notes without security,
have rendered it impracticable for farmers to pay either la-
bourers or landlords, reduced manufacturers to the French
system, and carried despair and misery to every fire-side.
All men of sense and practical knowleege, therefore exclaim
—take off 20 or 30 millions of taxes, or give us the usual
and necessary means of paying them. The people " sonnet
make bricks without straw."

CITY, ONE O'CLOCK.
At length the Speech of the President of Amerioa has
come to hand ; its immense length and copious details al-
most tires its readers ; it coincides with the French and Eng-
lish Governments, in recommending non-intervention : it
also passes great encomiums on the present French Govern-
ment, and boasts of the prospects of America. At present
we do not hear of any Express from Paris, it being still a
holiday there
Consols, which left off yesterday at 82# for the Account,
opened at 824 I; at present they are 82* to 82i.
In the Foreign Market nothing doing.
CITY. TWO O'CLOCK

The speech of Mr. O'Connell at the dinner at Drogbeda,
and the calling out of the Yeomanry in Ireland, have made
some impression on the Funds.
Consols, which were in the early part of the day at 824
for the Account, have been done at 821; since which a re-
action has taken place, and Consols are at present 82f 4.
A good deal of heavy stock has come to market. It is also
said that the Scotch banks have been selling, which also de-
pressed the Market.
The private letters from Paris still express hopes that the
present government willfully maintain its power ; they alio
add that the state of Paris is daily
