The daily union., 1846-04-30

Each government gave separate instructions TO It's
own minister. For aught is known, the two me.
diators may now be pulling different ways; one
Insisting on the banshment Of General Oribe,
the other on his installation as president Both
may appeal TO their instructions as the war
rant for their demands Sir Robert Peel being
asked by member Of Parliament in the House
the motive for the invasion Of the Parana
and the massacre at 0bligado, answered, he was
ignorant! One thing is certain, the gratuitous
interference Of the two governments upon the river
Plata, in the affairs of Buenos Ayres and Monte
yldeo, by boekades and other restrictive measures,
has most ruinous effect upon the commerce Of the
United States conneetet with the trade of these two
important ports. This is clearly wrong. The
United States, as a neutral government, having a
commercial treaty stipulation, should not be inter-
rupted in lawful reciprocal trade with Buenos
Ayres or Monleyideo, by any foreign power As
II appears, the British and French governments are
not aching IN concert as regards their respective in
structions, ! should not be surprised in the wind
ing up OF this unhoy warfare, if it resulted in war
between France and Great Britain.

British iaTiG-The proposition Of Sir Robert Peel

Commons the hrst and second reading by so large
majority, gives public confidence that the House
Of Lords will not reject IT. yet conceive IL by no

.fmtriean tGriG.-All here are pleased with Mr.
Secretary Walkers new proposed tariff, but strong
object to the first Of October for its taking effect
II would prove ruinous to the fall trade. Let IL
take effect the first Of July, or first Of January, q
decidedly approve Of the first ofJuly, that we may
be done with the odous tariff of 1922 the period-
cal for every merchant TO balance his
books. IL would be serious injury 10 the revenue
to adopt the first Of October.
The importations Of merchants would be dimn-
ished one-half, and in the proportion the con-
slgnment Of foreign manufactured goods. The
beauty, justice and equity Of the proposed tariff is
in the abolition Of specific and minimum duties, and
the adoption Of ad yalorem.
Free Trads.-The doctrine Of free trade is no
longer one of mere theory it has been practically
demonstrated by the government Of Great Britain
within the past five years. Under its operation the
prosperity Of every domestic interest has increased,
and become more permanently established

government on this subject are well known upon the
other side Of the Atlantic. The honorable M.
Guizot the French premier, endorses the free-trade
doctrine and approves Of the policy Of Sir Robert
Peel He said in the Chamber Of Deputies, all

Peel's measures, which have for their object the
Strengthening Of social order, by amelioratng and
consolidating the condition of large portion Of the
