them, even such as they were, would be withdrawn.
1t is in the ffty-frst year of American lndepen-
independence Of that very country to which
we are now called upon to truckle on question of
the rights of our hag--that we are told, there is no
other mode than by displacing the chief magistrate
ofthis nation to regain trade, which, as far fortn
as this city is concerned is carried on, almost ex-
clusivey for the benefit of some half dozens British
houses. We cannot mistake the feelings and spirit
of our fellow citizens in saying, that to such an ape
peal they will turn deaf-an indignant ear.
To fair and generous opposition none can Object
to require or to expect that Mr.. Adams, or any 9TH
er human being, though "pure as the angels, should
be alike supported approved by ALL would be un-
reasonable-but he is to be censured and thwared,
let it at least be American grounds, and Tor
causes which an American can feel, & honestly share
but let us not for the sake of gratifying personal
animcsities or party prejudices, minister to the
pride or ambition of foreign nation, by degrading
acquiescence in its overreaching and presumptnous
policy.
On this subject however, we shall, to borrow
the language Of the Post, have ''more hereafter,
much more,'' to say--and when the proper time
comes for the discussion---of which we shall take
leave to iudge-we will not shrink 'front.'.

SOUTH AND NORTH OF FRANCE

From the London Morning Chronicle.
Subjoined is translation which we have made ofthe
most important messages in a speech on the Ef-
fects of Popular instruction on the Prosperity of
France, delivered by Charles M. Dupin, on the
opening of the Normal Course of Geometry and
Mechanics at the Conservatory of Arts and Trades
in Paris November 90, 1926:
81 have divided France into two portions--the
Northern consisting of thirty-two departments,
tanning thirteen millions of inhabitants and the
Southern, fifty four departments, with eighteen mil
lions of inhabitants. The thirteen millions of the
North send 740,846 pupils to school; the Is mil
lions of South send 375,231. Hence, it appears,
that out of each million of inhabitants, the North of
France sends 56,9l8 children to school, and the
South 2O,885. So that primary instruction is three
times more extended to the North than IN the South.
81 shall now proceed to show remarkable
consequences which result from this disproportion
elm the North of France, notwithstandingthe rig
or of the climate, which entirely prevents the cul-
tivation foves capers oranges, and lemons, and
scarcely allow the growth of Indian corn and the
mulberry in some of the departments which de-
prives Normandy, Picardy, Artos, French Elan
ders and Ardennes, of the culture of the vine not
withsandng this absence of natural riches, the mass
of the people in the North, having more instruc-
ton, activity and industry, obtain from the soil a
revenue sufficient to pay 1877 ,654,765 francs land
tax on Ia, 692 ,19l hectares \ whilst the fifty foul
departments of the South only pay 1852 ,o6s
francs land-tax on superfces of 34,84l 1855 hec
, tares.
Enlightened France $3.50, 900 francs land tax
e Uuenhghtcnsd Do. 3,599,7oO ditto.
0 "The superiority of the public revenues Furnishes
by the enlightened part Of France is particularly
observable in the tax for licenses which is calcula
ted on the same scale throughout the the kingdom
Y The thirty two-departments of the North pay init
the public treasury for licenses 1924, ass francs
and the fifty-our departments of the South pay on
n 1893, l33 francs So that, owing to the superlo
" industry produced by wider spread of knowledge
If million of Frenchmen in the North bring into tn
n treasury for licences 1,174,958 francs while
d million of Frenchmen in the south pay only 534, 66
tn fracs for licenses
five sum up these taxes, it will appear that
n million Of hectares pay as follows
in In the North. In the South.

British Rum and lNolasses, vs.. THE President Of
eUTaitea Mates.--'rhis commencement of para
graph may seem singular, but it is not therefore the
less appropriate: and if were to add, after the
words rum and nolasses, some such phrase as said
ed by factious opposition at homes" we should
thereby indicate pretty accurately the real state Of
the question concerning the West India trade-a
question about which there is so much direct mis-
representation, and Fictitious camor.
We have said before, and now repeat that, in a
mere pecuniary point of view, the difference between
direct and an indirect trade to the British colonies,
is matter comparatively unimportant while, as a
question of national policy and sefrespec, it is all
important. 1t is not doubted that by permitting d.
rect trade upon terms prescribed by Great Britain,
a few thousand dollars more might be made but it
is as certain that they could only be made at the sa
crifice of the rights of our nag. Whether we have
yetreached that point in the career of nations, where
honour is balanced against gold, and the love of
country is to be regulated and circumscribed by
calculations of mere profit and loss, is problem,
which, to Judge from the appeals made by the British
West India merchants, through some OF our public
Journals, would hardly be deemed questionable.
We, however, think more highly of the character of
our countrymen, and cannot be mistaken in the be-
lief, that, on question SO simple as this, where sub
mission to the naughty and sneering menaces of
Canning as the price to be paid for booa-that,
when conceded, is comparatively worthless-there
can be but one opinion.
The Evening Post, however, thinks otherwise !;
and, after much idle and frothy talk, came forward
Yesterday with declarations that, in order to re-
gain the privilege of trading under the suffsrance of
Fir. Canning, with the British West India colonies,
we ought to take ''the first constitutional opportu-
nifty to remove the present Executive of the United
States" Yes it is even so-an American Presl-
dent is to be sacrificed, because he would not at
once submit to terms dictated by foreign nation
and dictated too, with the plain intimation that
they must be submitted to in toto, without discus

portonate difference. To men capable OF comparing
effects with causes this constant uniformity of re-
suits, this pervadng superiority in favor of that part
of the kingdom where instruction has been the most

this instruction in promoting trade arts, and sciences,

s'The Colleges of Paris have afforded me anoth-
er means OF forming comparison. The UNIVERSE
y annually bestows on all the colleges of Paris and
Versailles immense number of prizes, second
prizes, and accessits. In the University Almanacks
are printed, the names of the pupils rewarded, and
the pupils born in Paris, not to give undue
advantage to the Northern departments. | then

thirty departments fthe North, leaving out the

king result:
Pupils rewarded from the 81 Northern Depart
ments 1O7.
Pupils rewarded from the 50 Southern Depart
ments SO.
But another fact has appeared to me still more
remarkable. The 148 rewards consisted of 81
prizes and lO6 accessits now, of the 81 prizes
granted by the University to the children from the
departments, SO were obtained by children from
the North, and by the children from the South.

Sir Waiter Scott, and the Wayerly Nouels
When Sir Walter Scott at a public dinner, lately
decared approposc to nothing, that he was the man
|who had so long concealed his features under the
nask Of the author of Weverley, all the world stared
much at the uncxpectedness OF the disclosure
for it was virtually well known before--but that
the declaration should be made at that particular mo-
ment, when there appeared no reason Tor exploding
The quasi secret. A document which we have lately
seen. however, explains the circumstance, and puts
| to flight many sage conjectures The unfortunate
position of the affairs Of Constable & Co. and of
Baantyne & Co. with the latter of which firms Sir
Walter Scott was connected, has rendered 1T neces-
bary that their accounts should not only be looked
nto, but exposed to the creditors The transactions
recorded there, show explicitly, who was the author
of Waverly; we not only find Sir Walter receives
payment for these works, but we find him stpulat-
Xsng for the purchase money of works then uncon-
teiyed and Of which he is hitherto undelivered. we
find him, moreover, not only yielding up every st-
yer Of its worth which he could command, and ac-
tually pedgng future labours akin to former ones,
for the lquidationo his debts. These, and yarle

cerps Of the sedert book of the meetings of Messrs
Dalantyne's creditors copy of which had been re-
Gently in private circulation. Hence the sudden,
and it must be added, rather awkward avowal OF
the authorship on the part of Sir Walter. AS he
was we'll aware that the circumstances would soon
make their way through the press, he determined
10 catch at some little eetat while yet there was time
some little credit for disclosing that himself, which
