The health of the Governor-General of Canada is very
unsatisfactory. The latest bulletin, dated 22nd December,
1842, states that his excellency " still continues in a most
precarious state, and though be has been labouring latterly
under disease of a must alarming nature, accompanied lat-
terly with great emaciation and general debility, yet there
appears, for the last few days, a diminution of some of the

most urgent symptoms."
The New York paper, of the 2nd instant, gives a para-
graph of intelligence from Vera Cruz, dated the 30th of
November, stating that a change, it was imagined, would
shortly be made in the new tariff, increasing the duty on

cotton goods. Some persons, it is asserted, speak with cer-
tainty as to this augmentation. The Mexican congress was
discussing the question of a new constitution.
Letters from Tobasco mention in lamentable terms a disas-
trous inundation which had overspread nearly the whole
country, destroying immense quantities of cattle, and pro-
ducing a famine in the land. The inhabitants had petitioned
Government for relief. The news from Mazatlan was, that
hostilities had occurred in the Marquesas Islands between the
aborigines and the French authorities, during which the
Governor, an officer, and several soldiers, were killed.
The Ftli.v, 14. d.. 62 days from Liverpool,
bound ton Vera Cruz with a cargo valued at 100,000 f., went
ashore about two miles from Mazatlan. About 13,000 f.
worth of the cargo had been saved in a damaged state, but
the vessel was a total loss, though covered to the owners by
insurance. The officers and crew were all saved.

FRANCE

We gave in our last the particulars of tl

question. The Paris papers of Monday and Tuesday are
occupied with the debate on the address to the throne, from
the Chamber of Peers. Much apprehension has been felt
both here and in Paris, that an amendment would be carried.
calling for the insertion in the address of a passage, con-
demning the slave trade repression, treaties of 1831 and
1833, and insisting on their modification, which the mover
of the passage contended might take place without disturb-

lug any interest or exciting any commotion. This misgiving,
however, was not justified, for, on a division, the amend-
ment was rejected by a majority of 118 to 67, giving the
ministers a net majority of 51. The spefch of M. Guizot,
the minister, is described as calm, frank, and manly. " His
speech," says the National, "was expected with impatience,
and in listening to his exordium, so brilliant and so happy,
we feared for the moment lest the miraculous gift of elo-
quence might not give a triumph to the worst of causes."
The son of Prince Jerome Bonaparte' nephew of the
Emperor, arrived at Marseilles on the 19th, in the Eurotas
steamer. The young prince travels under the name of
Count de Montfort.
