solvent wealthy portion ofthe lords Of the sod know
well that with free-trade the general prosperity Of
the country must improve, and that agriculture, lke
every other interest," cannot fail TO be the recipient
Of increased gain from increased trade and com

Nothing can take from agriculture the protection
which the native grower has over the foreign I'M

party in Parliament and elsewhere, persons ignorant
Of the fact would believe that, in densely populated
country like ours, which in increasing ut the rate Of
a million of souls every three years, the price Of
bread would become cheap TO ruin all who are
engaged in its production.
UNITED STATES AND GREAT BRITAIN
The European Times ofthe ith inst Gays:
! The commercial intelligence which goes out by
this packet is necessarily Of n mesgre and unsaiis-
factory kind A state of transition is, Of AL Others
the most unfayorable for the requirements Of trade
for the uncertainty which precedes the change un-
hinges the operations alike Of buyer and seller, Of
| exporter and importer.
The new policy Of the United States, al indicated
in the report Of the American Secretary Of the Treas
ury has commanded much attention In the British
Parliament. Sir Robert Peel spoke highly Of the
report in the great speech in which he introduced the
new tariff; and subsequently, AT the request Of Lord
Moneagle, the government consented 10 reprint the
document and place !, on the tables Of both houses
| Of Parament-an honor which was probably never
| awarded to any similar document before. Al these
facts prove the desire which the British government
has to make our failure relations with the United
States amicable and business-like as possible.
Markets, as We before stated. all more less
affected by the premer's financial esPo@& and hus-
ness can hardly be expected 10 resume its healthy
tone, until 1t is known whether the measure viii
pass or be rejected-whether there will be dissolu-
! ton of Parliament this year or next.
Tie intelligence which has come TO hand from the
United States shows the angry discussions which
have taken place IN Congress; but the cotton market
has not been touched by it. Pacific people here,
connected by business relations with America, ex.
press wonder that Mr.. John q. Adams, the steady
and consistent friend Of peace, should have shown
the effects of age, on otherwise vigorous intellect,
by panderpg to the pre- udces and policy Of the war
party. Notwithstanding the bluster which il utter.
ed in Congress, people here cannot bring them
selves seriously to contemplate war about the Ore
gop; it appears too absurd for serious attention.
Nevertheless, it is in the power of hasty and 10
temperate people to precipltate matters beyond the
gon dispute in the British Parliament contrasts
strikingly with the warfare Of American senator's
and members of the House of Representatives.
Sturdy republicans might take, in this respect, an
example of forbearance and gent emanly deport-
ment from the speeches Of Hume, Sir Robert Peel,
and Lord John Russell, on the second night of the
session.
M. Guzot has noticed the remarks of Mr. Polks
message relative to war and Texas.
M. Guizot had accordingly felt surprised at the
Language used by the President in his message, and
he had considered it his duty to claim, in reply for
France, an entire independence Of action. He next
examined the commercial reasons which had in
duced France to recognise the independence of Texas
in 1898, and rendered her anxious to maintain it in
lS45. The political considerations had been of
still greater weight. There were at present. he said,
yond measure, their acknowledgement Russia,
and the United States.
| France was not extending her dominions. In AT.
RIGA she had made conquest it was her honor and
interest to preserve, but the bounds Of which she
| would not overstep 1t was of the highest impor-
lance to France that those three nations should bal
nnce each others power, and that none Of them
should obtain preponderating influence. Che was
consequently interested in protecting the indepen
dence of the American States.
DISASTER TO THE FRENCH IN ALoERIA.--The
French papers gave an account of horrd dis
aster which overlook detachment Of the French
army in the province of Constantine. In the midst
of a large plain, the column was overtaken tby
heavy fall Of snow, which continued two days. in
| which the poor fellows obliged to bivouac.
Some Of them not having tasted food for two days
fell victims to the severity Of the weather. By
the calamity, morethan 100 lives it was said have
| been lost.
