ENGLAND.
The Great Western carries out two important de-
bates respecting Canada, and speech more immedl-
atey referring TO the United States and France,
made by Lord Brougham, in reply TO Nj. Dupn, ia
the Chamber of Deputies, which, though containing
nothing absolutely new, yet puts the right Of search
negotiations between England and America IN 1924
in a striking and correct light. The discussion res
pecting the amnesty for political offenders in Canada
and the motion OF Mr.. Labouchero for admitting Ca
madam wheat into England on the terms held out by
Lord Stanley in his despatch, cannot fail 10 excite
deep interest in that colony Mr. Roebuck's motion
for the pardon of the persons who suffered transpor
tation during the late outbreak in Canada was not re
ceved with much favor by the House Of Commons
In a commercial point of view the replies OF Sir
X. Peel to Questions put 10 him in The House OF Com
mons respecting pending treaties with foreign couiiss
are without interest Brazil, II is now officially
announced has adopted Great Britains construction
of the existing treaty, namely, that it terminates ia
November, lS44; and not as was at hrst maintained
by the Emperor and hls Ministry, IN November,
1912. Sir Robert is tired, IT seems, Of Portuguese
nesse and threatens to cut the CABLE unless Donna
Maria's advisers show more promptitude and bust
habits in tn. future negotiations relative to the
new tariff He attributes no incoDsiderabe falling
of in the revenue last quarter TO the uncertainty
which hangs about the new arrangement with Poriu-
gal A. regards France, he speaks rather confident
ly respecting the successful termination OF COM
mercial treaty with her.
Commercial matters dull appearance. The
money market is heavy, the cotton market is in
of stagnatioD, and the share market has been
recediDg for time, even in the established lines
The existing depression may be accounted Tor, to
great extent by the uncertainty which prevailed re-
specting the commercial movements OF The Govern
ment. Engagements, in many instances, were post
poned until il was definitely ascer,ained whether Sir
Robert Peel would advance further this session IN
the direction of free trade. Tie has stated emphaiI-
caIly that he will not Again. pending existing ne
gotiations for new tariffs with France, SPAN, ana
Portugal good deal of capital is inert and trade ID
e.orrespondingly paralyzed. In the manufacturing
districts, where, month ago. matters were begin
ming to wear a more active and healthy appearance,
the recent Ministerial fiat has acted like wet
blanket damped the energies and depressed the hopes

FRANCE
The Sou Guzot Ministry is safe. The discussion
in the Chamber OF Deputies the right of search
terminated the Sd Of February by the adoption of
the paragraph in the address indirectly censuring the
treaties Of S3 and 1888 The Ministry, by making the
paragraph IN question lis own, although M Gulzot en-
phatcay stated that he would not negotiate for mo-
deation of the treaties, dsatmed good deal of hos
ulty, perhaps, more strictly speaking, afforded the
clsmorous a loop-hoe for a decent retreat The de-
bate having terminated the Chambers divided when

ting down the freedom OF discussion IN the press and
throwing ths writers into prison, and SURPRISING

bloody, may be anticipated. Indeed, rumors were
current in Paris that serious disturbances had made
their appearance AT Barcelona but they do not appear
to be we'll founded The city was in a state OF tie
greatest fermentation. Secret meetings were being
held, and all the proliminores for another revolt
were apparent.
