Great Britain.-In anticipation Of the meet
| ing Of Parliament on the 24th of January,
Palmerston had issued tho usual circular to
his supporters in the House of Commons, re-
| questing their attendance at the opening of
the session, as business Of great Importance is
at once TO be brought forward. The leaders Of
the respective parties had likewise issued in.
vitations TO the customary dinners which are
given prior to the assembling Of Parliament.
A domestic aflictlon, however, would prevent
D'Israeli from entertaining his followers. At
an adjourned meeting Of the Great Ship Com
pany, the directors report was adopted. The
majority against the amendment was 1,048.
A committee Of investigation was adopted,
and it was resolved that no new directors
should be elected till after the presentation of
the new committees report. Ia. t.., ..,-.s

The announcement that Lord Cowley had
retired to Paris was premature.
He did not arrive there until the 18th. On
his arrival he had long audience with the
Emperor. A telegram on the subject said the
Emperor requested Lord Cowley to declare To
the English Cabinet, that although desiring
an intimate understanding with England on
the basis of non.intervention, it is to be under
stood that he always considered himself bound
by the engagements of Villafrancs and treaties
Of Zurich.
This reserve was maintained during the last
negotiation by France and England. ei
The assemblsge of q Congress is, therefore,
still possible, the programme being founded on
the treaties Of Zurich.
The Cabinet of the TuilIeries has formally
resumed the negotiations concerning tho Con-
gress, and has, by telegraph, informed the
| Northern Courts Of the decree Of the Emperor.
France Napoleon had addressed most
important free-trade manifesto to Fould, the
| Minister Of State. 1t is dated January S, and
published in the Moniteur on the 10TH 1'{5E
| The letter sums up the intended reform,
viz: Suppression Of duty on wood and cotton;
successive reduction of dues on sugar and cof-
| fee; vigorous improvement Of the means of
communication; reduction of the canal dues
by general lowering of transport cost; loans
| to be granted to agriculture and industry;
| suppression Of the prohibition in customs and
commercial treaties with foreign powers.
"The l6O, 600, 900 francs remaining disposs-
BE from the last loan will bo applied in three
yearly credits 10 the execution OF great public
works." -a' ''D1
| The Emperor concludes: "I am convinced
that shall obtain the support Of the Senate
and Legislative body to these reforms. am
anxious to inaugurate with them the new era
Of peace, and to assure its blessingsto France"
The letter attracted great attention, with
scarcely an exception. The Paris press
applauds the project, and in England il
| gives great satisfaction. The London Times
concludes leader on the letter as follows:
owe are in no condition ourselves at pres
ent to reduce our revenue, and are opposed
to commercial treaties, but still we hope it
may be 10 the power of the Chancellor Of the
Exohequer, in consideration of tho impulse
these changes must give to the British coM-
merce, and the probable increase in the Gus
toms revenue, to make some reduction on
French products, which will be, at any rate,
an earnest of good will. The two countries
are at length nearly entered on the Same path
in the contest in which both may be victors,
and while the one that yields the most has q
right to expect the most solid advantages"
The Daily Ne@s says the project will much
promote the welfare and increase tho power oil
France. Louis Napoleon had been required
to give Europe o demonstration of his conf
dence in his power, he could hardly have
complied more efficiently than by announcing
policy Of free trade.
Other London journals speak in highly
eulegistio strain Of the Emperor's project, and
the Morning Star says: Mr.. Golden has added
another claim to the gratitude of his country
for to his exertions, backed by the jealous
/ g Il
indebted to the new policy Of the Emperor.
The proposed changes are not expected to
take place before August. .3sr.aI. t-Gl

evening says: The prohibitions will not b.
abolished before July, 1851, when they viii
be replaced by protective duties of 25 or 8
per cent, which, with the advantages granite,
to the French industry, will be quite sufioien
