so that after servitude or residence of five
years in manufacturing district, the peasant

receive parochial aid, if he requires ii, from
the place of his adoption, not the place of
his nativity-the same with regard to his
children and his widow. Moreover, the
high way rates are to be remodelled on a
plan which is to save a tug at The agricul

In word, the new scheme,is as near an
approximation to the principles of free trade,
as canbe safely consistent with the policyof
a.country which has its credit tosdpport, and
the interest of an overwhelming national
debt to pay. Sir Robert Peel has acknow-
ledged the principle that duties ought to be
levied for revenue, and not for protection,
and his future policy, it is clear, will be
directed to that end. But it would be too
much to assume that he can carry out the
new course of action on which he has now
entered without struggle and a desperate
struggle TOO, with the powerful interests
which believe themselves to be ieoparded.
The protectionists are boiling with fury, and
the language recently held in the House of
Lords by the Dukes of Richmond and Buck
ingham, indicate the fierce passions which
sway the breasts of British landlords TO-
wards the most clear-headed, practical states
man Of his age. ea a.a
Agriculture, they say, cannot exist with
out protection; but Peel saws it must exist
without it at the end Of three years. He
has pitted against him the arstocracy--at
least the insolvent portion of it, who live
from hand to mouth by their rents, and can
not submit to any dimlnution, however slight,
even with permanent profit in prospective.
This is not slight or contemplate opposition,
but worse remains behind. The ultra free
traders insist upon the repeal of the corn
laws being immediate. They treat with
scorn the three years. grace to the landlords,
and maintain that justice can only be propi-
tiated by instant concession. They talk
about the plunder of the past as amongst the
reasons why they cannot tolerate robbery
for the future. . e,.. --a. ef
aa L FRANCE ,r s~a.
Mr.. King, the American minister at the
Tuilleries, has been drawn into correspon-
dence with M. Guizot, for the purpose of re-
butting charge preferred against him by
the London Times, Of garbling the views
OF the French government on the subject of
Texas, and producing thereby the explosive
missive in the Presidents message which has
caused such sensation in France, and such
protracted discussions in the Chambers. Mr..
King is sadly too thin-skinned; and he has
not bettered his position by appealing,
through Mr. Guizot, 10 the public against the
structures of newspaper. A high diploma
tic functionary ought to be above this. The
Times returns TO the charge, and scarifes
Mr.. King numerically. Mr.. Kings's letter
is rhetorical and inflated; that of NJ. Guizot
brieE cold, and to the point. A press of
matter yesterday has crowded out this cor
respondence,- the comprehension of which
would have been incomplete without the ar
ticle from the Times which provoked it, and

OPENING OF PARLIAMENT.
In the House of Commons on the first
night of the session, the ministerial and the
opposition lea ders both VOLUNTEERED explana-
ions on the circumstances which led to the
ate ministerial crisis. There explanations
low belong to history.
Peel, it would seem, supported by two or
hree efhis colleagues, wished to open the
,orts for the admission of corn, duty free,
when the potato disease became alarming.
The majority of the cabinet opposed his
Jews, and finding their differences only
Videned by discussion, they went in body
o the Isle of Wight, where the Queen was
hen staying, and placed their resignation in
er hands. The subsequent results are pa
ent to the world. Lord John Russell was
onfded the task of forming cabinet, which
roke down through the difference between
lords Grey, Palmerston and Wellington.
With the frankness and promptness which
lark his conduct, Immediately launched
lto a history of the affair. 1t was very
ifferent story from that of his oily and ap-
earance-loving colleague at The head of the
overnment. The cabinet differed about
le corn-laws, and resigned. The Duke
isked the repeal of these laws, but he
