LIVERPOOL, Feb. II.
1t appears that nearly sixth of the
Whole inhabitants Of this town, and nearly
one-hfth OF most of the other large towns
In this county, are now in condition to re-
quire the aid of charitable relief. Had it
not been for the uncommon mildness of the
season, 1t is believed the number would have
been much greater. This is a state of af-
fairs which we believe is without example,
except at the time of severe scarcity in 1910.

Orders in CouucR.-If the object of the
ORDERS in Council was, originally, to pre-
vent France from importing the produce of
her islands in neutral ships, as she has now
lost all her islands, the object has ceased,
and their continuance, as far as relates to
France, can be no object to this country
But if america thinks her neutral privileg-
es are encroached upon by this new system
of blockade, and is preparing to defend
them, surely We shall not wantonly risk a
rupture with her, and hazard Canada and
the West India Islands, on the romantic l.
dea OF injuring France we shall at least
delay the evil, by new-modelling our Orders
III Council, as TO the extent of blockade
from any given point and give time for ex-
plantations and arrangemcnts indeed, it is
not yee proved but that we should gain by
the alteration, in the export of our manufac-
lures, which is a greater object to us than
the injury we aim at France.

zeal suicide, weaken and wear away those
energies which every consideration of wis

AS the restrictions ON the exercise of

that the expected motion on the affairs of
