a PROTEST.
Protest of the British Government against
the Montpensier Marriage.
The British Government has protested
against the marriage of the Princess Lui-
sa. Of Spain, 10 the Due de Montpens:er,
on she ground that ii is likely to lead to
violation of that article of the Treaty of
Utrecht, by which the Orleans, in COM
anon with the other French branches of
the House Of Bourbon, are declared to be
disqualified from ever reigning in Spain;
and, also, on the further ground that the
proposed marriage is contrary to the terms
of an agreement come 10 between the
English and French Ministers, on the oc-
casiOn of her Majesiy's visit TO the King
of the French, at the Chateau d'Eu. The
latter of these grounds of objection is,
probably, nothing more than an appeal to
The honor and friendly feelings of the
French Government, which it is free 10
listen TO or not al It's pleasure; but the
former is an appeal TO the faith Of trea-
ties, aBd the neglect OF it may, at some
future lime, be attended with very serious
consequences.

The newspapers have been filed with IT,
the Bourse has been convulsed by it: the
conversation Of every circle has been a.

Mon which may lead to the placing of the
descendant Of the King of the French on
the throne of Spain, has caused a dread
OF the possible interruption Of the friendly
relations between England and France,
perhaps a war between the two countries.

THE CROPS IN GREAT BTITAIN.
The editor of the "Circular TO Bank

does not exist, has just published the re-
suit of his recent investigations into the
state of the crops. The editor OBJ

''The spread of the disease has been
signally arrested, and much larger pro-
portion ei the potatoes in Great Britain,
and we suspect also in Ireland, will, we
trust, be preserved than any man dared
to hope for a few weeks ago. This is so
far extremely Satisfactory, and has afford
edus great relief. No doubt the disease
will prove severe and trying calamity
under the most favorable circumstances.

hope that it will not prove utterly de-

any thing raised annually in great bulk

is so liable to waste and destruction as the

seasons one half of the usual crop is, in
Great Brnain, either used for cattle or
wasted and that not more than half is
converted into food for man. This sug-
gesis very interesting reflection at this
Juncture. for if only one-half of an ordi-
nary crop be applied directly to human
food, much smaller than usual supply
would prove adequate to that purpose.
