ARRIVAL OF THE ACADIA.

The British steamer Acadia, arrived at Boston
on Tuesday last, having left Liverpool on the 10Th

of sailing
Great Britain. The most important British
news is Of the birth of Prince and heir to the
British throne. This event took place on the 9th
of November, and occasoned great joy on all
hands. The British newspapers made great fuss
and published particulars as 10 the precise time Of
the event, the persons present, and those who hap
pened to arrive few minutes too late. We pre-
sumo our readers will he satisfied with knowing
that the mother and son were well as could be
expected that Prince Albert (the falher) consid-
cred himself the happest of men--lhat the royal
baby is by birth the Prince of Cornwall, and will
shortly he, according TO usage, Prince Of Wales
and, finally, that lie will probably receive &c.,
600 to start life with, and G50,000 per onnum in
addition. Geo. Nv. received this while Prince of
Wales, his annual income as Prince being more
than eight times as great as the salary of the Pres
dent of the United States.

Henry Potingcr, British Minister Pleuipoten nry,
arrived at Macao on the 9th, and OH the 18th Off
cially announced himself TO the authorities Of
Canton. On the I2lh, he issued a proclamation
TO the English and foreigners, in which he says he
shall urge the war to a satisfactory close that he
shall respect the truce with the authorities Of Can
ton, until they break il, which he thinks will be
soon, when lie shall resort TO active hosiilites ;
and finally warns the English aud other foreign
ers, that if they put themselves or their property
in the hands ofthe Chinese, il will be at their own
peril. Sir Henry will demand the following con-
dilions MS a basis Of treaty of peace LIST, the
opening of all Chinese ports on the eastern const
TO European nations, who may trade freely, sub
iect only to moderate port duties; ID, The aboi-
ton of The monopoly Of the Hong merchants (;

reside at Pekin; and 4th, indemnity 10 the British
merchants for their losses by the destruction of
opium and the abolition of the trade. We have
no idea that the emperor of the celesllals will a.
gree to these terms, until he is forced TO it by the
presence of n British army at the doors ofhis pal

X4TSTU.6Iy

From this statement it appears that the impor-
iations into the United States during the last TWEEN
ty-one years amount 10 the immense aggregate Of
1905 million dollars, and the exports to l ,957
millions; showing an aggregate excess OF imports
over exports, to the amount of near 24S millions
or about IL millions per annum on an average
A part of this is profits, freight &c, Foi nine
years prior to $780, the imports had uniformly
exceeded the exports, and in 1886 this excess
reached the extraordinary sum of GO millions
II we go on for few years more, exporting more
than we import we shall soon he out Of debt to
foreign countries, except for stocks not yet paya.
BILE, and on the other hand, shall bring foreign
countries in debt 10 us.
The exports of the past year, it will be ohserv-
ed, exceed those Of any former year. The inn
ports though two OF three millions more Than in
1889 40, are less than in any preceding year
since IS32.-They are however sufficient, --nei-

The above isl very gratifying statement, as it
shows that we are still reducing our debt to lor-
eign countries. In the year ending Both Septem.

Council of Censors We have placed on our
first page an article in favor of abolisbng the
Council, and of providing that the Senate pro-
pose amendments once in five years, to be voted
upon directly by the people. We invite the At.
tention of our readers To this project, and TO the
subjects which have been acted upon by the
Council, and were published n few weeks since.
The proposition TO abolish the Council is sus-
tanned on plausible grounds, and perhaps can he
substantially sustained. We forsee, however, one
objection which will undoubtedly he raised against
it,--in the smaller towns, if no where else, and
VIC state it now, that it may he considered along
with the proposition aforesaid. This objection is,
that the constitution can then he amended Ivy a
majority of such Of the people ms may choose to
vote on amendments, instead of 10y u mnjority OF
the tolcns of the state represented in convention,
as now practised.

More Indians Caught. An expedition under
Capt Wade, captured and killed 63 Semnoles -
8 only were killed The number consists of men,
women and children. The new arrangement OF
fighting the Seininoles proves more successful
Than former plans. Col. Worth has given dscre.
tionary authority to his under officers, who go out
with small detachmenls, and the ambition of Off
GERS and men stimulates them TO more active eff
forts. The commanders were formerly often at
distance from the scene Of war, and yet exercis.
ed such authority the military as embarrassed
their movements, and rendered Them greatly in

MR.. QUITS REMARKS-AGAIN.

III remnrking upon our report of Mr.. Cuts re.

Wing says:
"From what we have learned from several in

That he never said, with relence to this question
that "he Scorned all attempts TO make measures o.
P't5Ac pot'oy mere party questions"
We now realIirm what we said last week of the
correctness of our report; and particularly do we
affirm that MIR. Cuts did most strongly deprecate
"atempts to make measures Of public policy mere
party questions" On this point we are as sure as
we are that Mr.. Cuts spoke one word on that oc-
cnsion. This places us in opposition to the "sev-
eral individuals" alluded to by the Wing. New.

DIRECT TAXATION

by the federal government. We know our neigh

past, when we warned the people that the locos
would come out nnti-tariff men. The Patriot now
has come out plump on that point, just MS we pre-
dicted g. it must come 10 Direct Taxation. There
is no middle ground there are only two ways Of
raisng revenue, by the Constitution, and these are
by Tariff OF duties, or Direct Taxation. The
locoioco leaders in Congress have already broken
ground for the latter; the Bay State Democrat
md the Spirit of the Age announce that Direct
Iaration is The RIGHT DOCTRINE; and the
Patriot must either join the Wings Tor Tariff, or
go with its brethren for direct taxation. 1t will
do The latter; mark that
Direct Tdrdiion is the iocofoco substitute for The
Tariff Now let us look nj this business. Allow
the expenses of the federal government to be
reduced hy Wing economy from 80 millions TO
only 81 millions n year, and also that Vermont
pays her proportion according to her population :
this would require direct tax upon Vermont, cv-
cry year, TO the enormous sum of
