06rM. Emile Girardin, one of the most distln-
guished editors in Paris, recently made of this
language, which deserves translation and comment
81 have always thought and said that was
about 10 commepce in politics That the time had come
when nations would longer seek greatness in war,
but in peace longer in the spirit of rivalry, but
in that of union no longer in falsehood and duplcty
but in good faith longer in precarious additions
to territory, but the conclusion of udicious and
equitable treaties of commerce; or the improvement
of modes of communications in the progress of
industry; in the firm establishment of public and
private credit. have always thought and said that
the alliance of France was advantage for which
all the powers of Europe would contend, SO soon as
she should have established her Government solid
foundation, and abandoned that system of policy which
consists of unceasing repetition of the assertion
that the whole world envious of her glory and jealous
of her power, is leagued against her; that they
threaten her independence, and would destroy her
Institutions; that she has only to raise her voice. to
alright the sovereigns and liberate their subjects
she, the rst the most enlightened, the bravest, and
the only free of all natons.' This stupid and anti.
quated system can result only in wounding their
feelings extinguishing their ancient sympathies and
causing them to call in question her glory her genius
and her power. 1t tends to produce weakness and
isolation
The advice given With such truth and dignity by
NJ Gifardin to his countrymen, may serve in part
names and circumstances altered, for this country.

POLITICAL STRUGGLEs.-Every nation is under the
influence of two opposite principles, which may be
denominated the Conservative and the Reforming
principle. The former produces struggle to pre-
things they are and against all innova-
ton; the latter produces struggle to change the
present system of things, and welcomes innovation.
Both these principles blind influences, and each
is Compounded Of good and evil. The Conser oatiue
principle tends to preserve both established and
established TRUTH but leans the side of error and
injustice-the Reforming principle tends to subvert
both established and established TRUTH but leans
on the side of truth and justice. In community
IN which perfect freedom Of opinion and action is
allowed, in which no set of men enjoy any peculiar
exclusive privileges since it is for the interest of
the majority, who Democrats to enlist on the side
ofreorm and for the interest only of the minority who
aristocrats, enlist the side of
the reforming principle must always be stronger than
the conservative. Hence amorg people who possess
tie perfect enjoyment Of civil and religions liberty,
constant Improvement in their moral and political
condition Is the natural of events. These
principles do not distinctly divide the people into two
parties, since find each of the national parties in
one respect influenced by the conservative principle
and In another respect by the reforming principle.
No party is wholly engaged the one side either of
reform or conservation.

Great Fire in Montreal.

Oven ONE HUNDRED HOUSES DEs-

Montreal Herald contains the following:
A dreadful fire occurred in Griffin

nearly one hundred houses, as near as
we can reckon; two houses have been

Evans, and several others torn down Tor

crossing. Griffin Town now forms

mcrly connected with the city as 'Green>

fire originated in building on Queen
street, occupied as a coffee manufactory
and copper smiths shop. where it could
have been confined had there been dicis-
ion and power TO demolish few small
wooden buildings in the vicinity. The
fire spread rapidly from building to bull
ding, over nearly the entire block. from
Queen street on the North to Prince
street on the South, from Wellington
street East to Gabriel street West, one
house at the corner Of Queen and Ga
briel street. aud part of building at the
corner of Wellington and Queen streets,
were saved in q damaged condition; the
part of the one at the cor. of Wellington
and Queen was cut in two, and the burn
ing end served from the other. The
fire crossed Prince street, consumed the
next block through to Nazareth street;
and crossed Nazareth street. burning
one or more buildings on the South side
ofthe street two or three were blown up
to arrest the fire. The buildings con-
sumed were many Of them of rather
ordinary kind, occupied by families in
the humber walks Of life; the distress
and priyation therefore caused by this
fire are great. There were nail tacto-

and tavern stands, dwellings occupied
by numerous poor families, a building

relate to a recent interference of British

Ever since the colony has been organ,

been a rule to impose certain duty

purpose Of raising revenue for the
State, as is customary in every other

have proceeded 10 enforce the payment
Of duties, by seizing goods Of British
subjects, imported in contravention of
the tariff. BY way of relation, the off.

the only revenue cutter belonging to
the colony. Thus the affair stands, the
