Extract Of Letters from Havre, March 10.
Many people not believing that this
government really intended going to war
with Spain, speculation has become
quite cool Of late, and the market in con-
sequence dull, the holders of produce
not being disposed to give way. Prices
are about the same as al our last dates,
except for cotton, which, coming in frec-
ly from your ports, has been sold in
some instances at reduction OF 5 cen
times-and one lot has been sold this
week at SO, which the brokers say was
worth 80 some time ago. Our imports
in February were heavy. The arrivals
this month are 4 vessels from New-Or-

->~The factions OF France are al war with
each other, but the result is, that the par
~ in favor of war seems to have the as
tendency. Tee war faction have per-
shaded Ministers that war is unavoida-
Bile, that they wish for war, and that they
will have war, and with it, all its conse-
qnences.
The same papers state, that the War
Department are hklng the most ener-
getic measures for the approaching con-
test. The Dake of Reggie gave yester-
day, previous to his departure for the
army Of Spain, the command OF the Ma

OPINION ABROAD.
From the Trenton True American.

BY an address TO The people OF Illinois
from a portion Of the Members of the
Legislature, it appears that an attempt
is making SO TO alter the constitution OF
that state as TO permit the introduction
of slavery. That the efforts of the in
telligent and yirtuous part ofthe citizens
10 ward off this great evil may be eifec-
tual, is anr most ardent hope; but VIC
must confess our appfehensions that
Avarice and Incidence will yet succeed
in their purposes. The temptations OF
becoming suddenly rich, and Of living
without labor, are so strong, that many
who are opposed to slavery on princi-
pie will yet admit its expediency, or ac-
quiesce in silence.

A bare constitutional majority of the
Legislature of Illinois, have passed a
law to Try the question OF the call of a
convention to alter the constitution of the
State: and it is directly alledged in a
solemn protest of the minority, that the
principal object of the majority in the
measure, is The extinguishment of that
article of,he Constitution which provides
that I" there akaltbe neither>stave,y nor
Involuntary serpnude" The establish
ment Of negro-slavery in Illinois, is, in
fact, understood to be the aim OF those
who urge the call Of Convention. The

lions it is more than two years and half
since he proclaimed that a project was
formed for introducing slavery INFO Hi
nois, and that for doing this, he has SUI
fered an unre.epting persecution.
The protest of the minority of the Le-
gislature, ascrbes to their antagonists
the most unworthy articles in the attain
ment of their purpose.
1T was" says that document "openly and
boldly avowed by some members that the ses-
sion should never close till the question had
succeeded. To accomplish their object it be-
came necessary to remove some obnoxious
member, and introduce new one who would
prove more accommodating. The seat of Mr..
Hansen, member of the House Of Represen-
tatives from Pike county, had been contested
by Mr.. Shaw of that county, in an early part of
the session. The subject underwent a full in
vestigaton, and it was decided that Mr.. Han
sen was entitled to the seat On Tuesday

10 TIE PURLTCK.

At The late session OF the Legislature
Of this State, an Act was passed to incor-
porate the Bunker I'LL Monument .asso-
ciqtion. The Subscribers, as Commit
tee, aud in behalf of their associates, are
directed to address the Pnbiich, in re-
gard to the objects of the Corporation.
The erection of some puhiick Monu-
ment, which should bear lasting testimo-
ny TO national gratitude, and cherish
national feeling, has often been the sub
ject of dicussion. and conversation, in this
part of the country; but none, worthy
of the name and the purpose, has yet
been executed. 1t is true that the pub
lick records, the productions of the
press, history and poetry, are sure to
preserve and perpetuate the remem-
brance Of the great events Of the Amer
lean Revolution. Nevertheless, some
grand and striking object, often recurring
to the sight, and impressing the mind with
interesting associations, would be one,
it is thought, neither useless, nor IN
worthy for tine present generation to
rear, to the memory of the past. The
first battle in the war of our indepen-
dence is an event so distinct and striking
in its character and consequences, as
not to be lost and overlooked in the Sc
ries of great occurrences so impor-
tant, as that no comparison diminishes
its magnitude. The heights of Charles
town are associated in every breast,
with the noblest recoliections. They
are the first point of curiosity with
every stranger and without dispute,
as we think we may say, the most IN
teresting spot in our country. If this
be true, need we or could we say
more =? Fortunately, the scene of the
battle of Bunker-Hill possesses distin-
guished natural advantages for the site
of Monument. Ii is high, conspicu-
Gus, and at present not covered by
