,oA1s, EI,onrs AND rAsK MOVEMENT OF THE UNITED

These returns show that our imports IN lS45,
with very reduced movement on the part Of the
hanks, were larger than when the bank move
,nsnt was more than double what il is now. 1t
SHOWS that our foreign trade does not depend so
much upon what course a few bank managers in
Wall street may pursue, it does upon our ability
10 pay by our exports for our imports; although no
one can doubt for moment but that very great
imitation OF credit by great expansion of the
banks would have very material influence upon
our import trade, and tend to a reduction Of our
export trade; as such a movement on the part of
these institutions would enhance prices for
everything in our domestic markets, and give an
opening for the admission OF foreign goods; while
il would raise the value of our own products so
much, that prices would rule above those cur
rent in foreign markets, and the foreign demand
therefore would be very much reduced
liza abiding to prices,we cannot compare the pre-
sent prices for breadstus in any of the principal
markets of the world, with those Of former prices
under any state of the currency, as tho demand
for consumption has more influence now than
any thing else; but we should find very different
state of things in our foreign produce trade, had
there been very great expansion on the part of
the banks at this time. The currency Of this
country and that of Great Britain has, for some
time past, been nearly equal in value, and prices
were not so unequal as in former years. There
on the other side, and the advance has been about
the same in each country.

several years, since the great financial revulsion
in 1887, has been annexed

The Steamship Cambria-Foreign Advices-
Our Foreign Trade.


This steamship has been at sea twelve days, and
will be full due on Thursday, giving her passage
of fourteen days. The anxiety for her arrival Is
already very great, and every day adds 10 IL
Spectators on the qui viue, and there IS
great difference of opinion as to the complexion
ofthe accounts she will bring Holders OF bread
stuffs generally are not disposed to part with their
supply at anything below prices established by
the last arrival while purchasers appear disposed
10 await further news before filing their orders.
Should the accounts be favorable, even in the
event Of the last report being confirmed there will
be impetus given to prices in this and all other
markets Of the country, greater than ever yet ex-
penenced; but should the Cambria bring accounts
ola decline the other side, look out for squalls.
1t must be admitted by all that the chances are in
favor Of decline, and those who have sold at pre-
sent prices are, at all events, on the safest side.
There is immense quantity of grain accu.
mulating at different points, ready for shipment
and we have no doubt an immense quantity Of
breadstuhs will go forward, even In the event OF a
small decline in the corn markets of Europe. 1t
will pay well to ship at prices very much below
current rates.
We give annexed table, exhibiting the value
ofimpors into and expor from the United States
for several years since 1880, also the bank move
ment Of the country, for the purpose of showing
the influence OF the currency upon our foreign
trade.

FRENCH SroLIArioNs.-Ws have ,on various oc
casions, expressed our opinions on this |, ng anc
shamefully neglected claim upon the justice O.
the government. 1t gives sincere pleasure to
perceive that another, and probably successful,
effort is to be made in Congress to accomplish
this object. Mr. Seaman, OF New York, has in
troduced bill in the House, for the relief OF the
claimants, the tenor Of which is so just and rea-
sonable that we cannot perceive how any men,
/ Der of Congress can, with due regard to his OBJ
! legations to Justice refuse his assent. 1t proposes
I to raise stock OF five millions of dollars, at four
per cent, payable in twenty years, and after that
I time only redeemable at the pleasure OF the 60
vernment.
Mr.. J.. M Clayton, OF the Senate, has also in
troduced into that body resolution in further
ance of these just demands upon the govern
ment.
For more than forty years this country has been
in possession and enjoyed the benefits of what
France would have cheerfully given in requital of
injuries done to our citizens 1t is scarcely advis
able to again call attention to this often repeated
history, hut which is briefly as follows:-
"The establishment of temporary territorial govern.
ment in Ssnta Fe 10 evidence of desire the part
OF the administration to infringe any right Of Texas That
tory contsining atty hundred thousand inhabitants
who never acknowledged the Jurisdiction Of Texas but
had always acknowledged that Of Mexico, was con-
quered and Its inhabitants, in the brief space of few
days. were brought under the government Of the Union
1t was absolutely that they should have
government. The constitution and laws Of Texas could
not be introduced and enforced and rather than permit
anarchy to prevail General Kearny wisely established
temporory government to remain 10 force until another
could be formed with the sanction of the Congress- and
ultimately with the sanction also of the Legislature Of
Texas When peace shall have been and
the boundaries OF Texas adjusted by the of
the United States and Mexico this srroral government
will DO dissolved and the jurisdiction of Texas will,
doubtless DO extended throughout every portion Of san
ia Fe, lying east OF the Rio Grande.
During our revolutionary struggle we made re-
ciprocal treaties with France, the conditions of
which were found, when peace was obtained, TO
bt so extremely burdensome on our part as TO be
next to impossible to consummate. To getlrid of
those, and other annoying engagements with that
government, we took upon ourselves to satisfy
these claims. It is difficult 10 perceive how il 10
possible that any fair man can hesitate to give his
sanction to repayment of this debt. Is it any
argument against its validity, that it has lain
more Than forty years unpaid
In our opinion it is disgraceful TO the govern
nent and the nation; and we most ardenty hope
that this present Cor gress will wipe out this stain
of injustice and oppression, which has so long
been suffered to exist on our annals

or these years, there has been an excess of
imports over exports three out Of the five, and
the excess in these three years amounts to
s21 ,29l, 4sl. In 1S43 we imported Sl4, 3O4, 1862
from Great Britain. The receipt of that large
amount of the precious metals into this country
did not produce money crisis here, or the ex-
portation OF it from Europe produce money
crisis in that part of the world.
II will be observed, in reference to the above
table of imports and exports, that in ls43, the
value OF exports exceeded that of imports
So so, ST. this, with the additional value OF our
exports in foreign markets, would swell the bal
ance OF trade that year in our favour to about
the amount of specie imported. 1t is our impress
sion that our foreign trade this year, 1S47 will be
upon basis somewhat similar to that of 1913
that the importation Of specie will be full as large,
if not larger, than in that year; that the excess of
exports imports will also be greater ; and that
II will result in great an increase Of prosperity
10 all classes as the business Of that year pIo-
duced, compared with that Of the few years
previous.
