been signally arrested, and much
larger crop of potatoes in Great Brit
ain, and we suspect also in Ireland,
will, we trust, be preserved than any
man dared to hope for few weeks
ago. This is so far extremely salisiac-
tory, and has afforded us much re-

/ The European Times says that the
most Influential Of the daily papers
the Times and Morning Chronicle
protest in strong and indignant terms
against the Montpensier union with
the lnfanta. People can see no OBJ
lection 10 a French prince marrying a
