The bill reducing the Corn Law has passed
through Committee in the House Of Lords by
vote Of 1876 TO 1888 majority. There can
no longer be doubt of its becoming law.
The Ministry of Sir Robe,t Peel is on its

bitter than the Wings ever were, and are ready
to turn it out at any moment. but the Wings
will no, allow i, to be done until the Corn.Law
reduction is perfected. That accomplished ,Sir
Robert will resign or be elected from his post.

the quality is reported TO be excellent.
The wheat crop, from all the reports that
we have seen, both in this and the sister king

The Journatdes Debats has lately published
a remarkable article on the state of affairs be-
tween Mexico and the United States. Your
contemporary asserts thai Mr.. Polk has only
gone against Mexico to compensate his defeat
10 Oregon, and TO regain the popularity which
that defea. had brought upon him. II thinks
that Mexico is totally unable TO resist the Uni
ted States. and tina. the existing hos,ilities will
resul, in its dismembermen,.
| Ii thinks, too. that the States will endeavor
TO seize The CALIFORNIA;, TO make up for wha,
they will be obliged to lose in Oregon; and il
says that the CALIFORNIA; are infinitely more
valuable than that barren territory IL views
all this with regret: but, beyond few sneers
at Mr.. Polk, for whom it appears to entertain
profound contemp,, il says nothing offensive to
che United states. This fact deserves to be
specially mentioned. for of late the great organ

reconciliation, aud to protect Mexico. II al

i Considering The connection between this
journal and NJ. Guizot. am Inclined TO attach
some importance 10 this ucubraIion. as show

business. she assuredly will do so. Indeed,
for my part, | entertain not the slightest doub.
that the French Government will be prepared
if necessary, TO give effeciusl protection TO
Mexico against her great neighbors; for re-
member that in the course Of the present SEES

two occasions iha, il was Of vast importance to
