Luc ilt-ztan government, but a mere Colonial faction, that
wished exclusive privileges; and as regarded material
prosperity, or at least its elements, we could show Canada
to be better off than the United States.
" But the rebel of 1847 could show a very different
picture. He could show Church questions unsettled, and
he is now armed with the FACT, that it is better (under
Free Trade) for an emigrant to go to the southern or
American side of the St. Lawrence, for the self-evident
reason that there he has all the advantages of the English
market for his labour. OR mull A •

" To show your Excellency the utter impossibility of
Canada continuing a part of the British Empire, if free
trade is carried out, the single fact will be enough, that,
by withdrawing the advantage in the British market of a
dollar on each barrel of flour that the Canadian enjoyed
over the American farmer, free trade reduces the price in
Montreal to about a dollar the barrel below New York ;
because the British speculator will be as well able to pay
four dollars a barrel in New York (so much less are the
freight insurance and outlay on money) as three dollars

sisters will propose strong and decided measures for

importation of food, and of economising the use of the
stocks of grain in this country by the removal of the
existing restrictions on the use of sugar and molasses.
We have reason to believe that the plan of the govern-
ment will comprehend provisions to render available for
the-English market those stocks of grain in the Medi-
terranean ports and elsewhere which are at

(From the Second Edition of the 3forning Herald.)
The Madrid steam shiparrived this morning at Southampton

She does not bring any news of great importance. The
Queen's troops entered Coimbra on the sth inst., amidst great
r treated icing.

Before entering the town Saldanha issued a proclamation,
assuring the people they had no violence to fear from his sol-
diers. Saldanlia was to march from Coimbra on the fob . -
Antas should not offer battle at Vouga, 'he won't,
neighbourhood of Oporto about the 14th. Macdonald's loss at
Braga was about 200; the loss on the Queen's side is stated
at from 30 to 120; Casal's men committed great atrocities at
Braga, which has kindled a flame of indignation against him.
Nothing decisive had taken place at Oporto. Rebels were flock-
ing into the city in great numbers; the Miguelites have all
joined them. Their forces at Oporto consisted of about 6500
men, and they show no disposition to flinch.

A large supply of foreign Barley, and a strong opinion gain-

molasses in breweries and distilleries, have quieted the trade,
anti but little progress could be made in sales without yieldinr
to lower prices.
