ee ‘Ireland. si The regular employment now so genorally given to the peasantry, together with the reduction in the prices of provisions, has already produced a | seasible improvement in the condiuon of the people. Scill there remains much distress to be relieved. ‘hese are great complaints of the backwardneseof the ordinary agricultural ope- rations, in consequenee of the preference which the laborers give to the public works, The accounts from the country districts are ex- tremely unfavorable, particalarly from the south and west, where there is no doubt the prevalence of distress affords a pretext for the wholesale sys tem of plunder and outrage which, for some time past, bas rendered it unsafe for the peaceably disposed to pursue their usual avocations, even in the broad glare of day. Tne differences between O'Connell and the “« Young Ireland” party grow wider every day. Mr Smith O’Brien [its availed himself of the columns of the Nacion to commence a series of epistles. ‘No, 1"? is addressed to the “ Landed Proprietors of Ireland,” whom he endeavors to rouse to a friendly union ia behalf of a‘ suscep- tible population,” by exciting their animosity to- wards §. nd. The G rament are now employing about 150,000 of the poorest of the peasantry, on public works. The amount of rent acknowledged by the re- peal Association, up to the 24th of November last, was £134,379 Ls 4d. rance. Our advices from Paris are of the 24 inst. The Cracow affair absorbs attention ia Paris, All the Opposition and Ministerial journals ex- Py a bal gts atit; and the subject has been iscussed in diplomatic and official communica- tions. The Paris correspondent of the Morning Chronicle relates what passed in two of these com- munications. The first was an interview held at the request of M. Guizot, between himself and Lord Normanby, on the 19th ult. There have been food nots in some provin- cial towns. At Tours, the populace resisted the exportation of grain; soldiers were called out; and many people were wounded, others err On the 25th, the people of Bou- & logna resisted the export of potatoes and cattle for | England. M. Adam, the Mayer, was mobbed, the Sous-Prefet was nearly kille: the turmoil, twenty five cattle were let loose and chased about the town, and in the evening the Mayor was serenaded with the ‘ Marseillaise.” He ran out of house, sword in hand, to fight the mob alone; and was rescued from the eonse- | p meoaeays his bravery by the mounted National uard. ‘The authorities refused to stop the ex- ortof potatoes, but the Mayor wrote to Paris, begging for the free admission of American flour from England As the law stands, it is prohibited unless shipped direct trom America. Tue Bey of Tunis arrived at Paris on the 224 ult.,and took up his residence at the palace of the Elysee Bourbon. On the 23d, the king drove from St. Cloud to Paris, and shortly afterwards the bey and his suite, conveyed in royal carriages of the court, arrived at the Tuilieries, and were present- ed to his majesty. The Paris papers announce the death of the celebrated historian Michelet, whos» late work, called ‘* Priests, Women, and Families,” excited so much attention. The ines of the French Chambers is fixed for the Ith of January. The fixed prices of bread in Paris, for the first fortnight of December, will be tne same asin No- vember. By the accounts from the markets which | supply Paris, the price of wheat has again de- clined, but at some of them the supply had fallen off. In the other parts the rise generally conti- nues, Private letters state, however, that only 20 out of 45 days’ deficiency had been made uj lase importations; and that, consequently, there was reason to apprehend that a mse would yet take place in the markets. ‘The Moniteur publishes an official notice from the Minister of Commerce, announcing the dis- covery of a mine of mercury at Monterey, in Cal- ifornia. The mine is said to be of great value, and easy to be worked; but the existing war be- tween Mexico and the United States is stated to be likely to prevent the formation of a company for working it. What right has the French Go- vernment to put forth a notice of thiskind? Does not California belong to the United States, and has not the United States’ Government alone the right to its mines? Orders have been given by the government to the custom house department for putting into ex- ecution the new treaty of commerce with the re- public of New Grenada. A royal ordinance has just been issued, fixing the “‘effectit” of the French navy in time of peace, at 226 sailing vessels and 102 steamers, as follows:—4) vessrls—10 of the Ist class, with three decks, and 110 to 120 guns; 10 of 2d class, two decks, 92to 100 gun-; 15 of 3d class, two decks, 8416 9) guns; 5of 4th class, two decks, 80 guns and unde. 50 trigates—15 of Ist c.ass, with 52 to 60 gu 20 of 24 class, 44 to 50 guns; 15 of 34 class. 82 to 40 gu 40 corvettes—20 of Ist class, a gaillards, 26 to 36; 20 of 2iciass, a bat: burbette, 14 to 20 50 brigs—30 1st class, 16 to 20; 20 2d class, 8 to 12. 30 lightboats, 2106. 16 traus- Fore of nbour 600 tons — Total, 226. Steamers— (0 trigates of 600 to 430 horse power, and 20 to 30 gung; 20 corvettes, Ist class, 400 to horse pew- er, of 8co 12 guns; 20 corvettes, 2d class, 800 to 220 horse power, 4to6 guns. 30 airsos, of Ist class, 200 to 160 horse power 20 of 2d class, of 120 horse power and under; 2 floating batteries, of p to horse power, and 40 to50guns.. Total. Of the above, 24 vessels and 40 frigates are to be kept afloar; 16 vessvis and 10 frigat.s to beon the stocks, advanced to 22 tweaty fourths. The armament and artillery is to be Complete in the magazines, and one quarter at leist of what woukt be necessary for the aaaing of the vessels and frigates on the stocks. Besides the above, there is to be in the dockyards a reserve of vessels und frigates advanced to 14 twenty-fourths. All the vessels inferior to the frigates, and all the steamers, are to be kept constantly afloat. The sub-division in classes, prey.ousiy quoted, ma‘ be altered, if the Minister of Marine shail think fit. The artillery for vessels ot war is to be the same as alrendy fixed, bac such modifications may be tintroduced in that for vessels on the | Minister of Marine may think neces- | stocks as the sary Itis positively stated that the Government has signed a treaty with a company, giving up four large steamers belonging to the State, lor estab- lishing regul¥r communication between Cherburg or Havre and New York. Nothing, however, of n officially authoritative character has yet been ‘allowed to transpire. Some of the anti-free-trade newspapers clamor loudly for the abrogation of the treaties of 1822 and 1826, betweea France and Great Brita, and France and the Unrted States. They say that these treaties cause the ruin of the shipping iaterest of this country. In the Bibleotheque Royale there are not fewer than 1,302,620 engravings. The Government has caused to_be published a note, setting forth that a bakerat Vienna has dis- covered that if beet root be mixed with wheaten floar in the proportion of one-half or five- eig «ths it will produce excellent bread, equal to good wheaten bread, and keep longer. A little less water, and a lictle more saltthan usual, should be employed. The Minister of Commerce has just caused re- ductions to be made in the import duties on mar- ble, nitrate of potash, quinquinna, woods, and other articles. The reduction is increased in fa- vor of French vessels. The illustrated newspapers here give portraits | of General Taylor. The republican newspapers publish a violent address from the “French democracy to the de- mocracies of Ewrope,”’ on the abolition of Cra- cow. \tisto be transiated inte every European language, and circulated to the extent of 500,000 copies. _ The Chamber of Deputies allowed to the Min- ister of Foreign Atfairs 1,430,000 francs, for unfor- seen, secret, and extraordinary expenses, that might arise in the course of the year. M. Guizot in addition to this sum, has allotted himself, by royal ordinance, not less than 2,280,000 francs. ‘ne French Government have resolved not to advise the Duke and Duchess of Montpensier to | make that renunciation of all prospective right to the crown of Spain, which our ambassador in | Paris had been instructed to demand. This re- fasal, it appears, is couched in very courteous bat equally decided terms. Belgium. The Chamber of Representatives, at the sitting of 12:h ult., passed the following act :— Art. 1. That wheat, rye, bariey, Indian corn, beans, vetches, peas, oats, potatoes, potato fleur, and other jarinaceous articles, and rice, shall con- ry free of import duty till the Ist of October, Government has besides the power to grant, for | the same period, the total or partial remission of import dacies on flour, oatmeal, cattle, and on all provisions not specified in the above arti- cle. Upon these articles a scale tax of tencen- umes per 4000 kilogrammes will be levied. Art. 2, That wheat, rye, barley, buck-wheat, : 8, beans, aah peas, potatoes, and to jour, are prohibit from exporiation till lst October, 1847. - . Government is besides authorised to prohibit the exportation of flour, bran, and ail kinds of wrist, bread, biscuit, and oatmeal. Art. 8. That Government may,if circumstances require it, determine, wholly or partially, the operation of the present act, in whatever applies comeecomacreemvennneessnenssil 4; in the midst of by the | | to exportation; it may also extend it, wholly orin | part, till the 1st December, 1847. M. Osy moved—Ist. That the duration of the act be fixed for the 81st December, 1847. 2ad.— } That the free import ot cattle be decreed; and 3rd—That the act should give free entry to tlour. He also complained of the continuance of the prohibition forthe export of com. He was op- ‘osed upon all his propositions by the Ministers | for the Home Department and Finance, and the Chamber passed the ministerial resolutions upon the term of the duration of the act, by 40 lost 26—and upon the importation ot caitlin ‘by 86 against 30. The proceedin, sented nothing of i in the Chambers have pre- interest toa foreign reader. Italye | _ The expected ordinance of the Powe, authoris- | ing the formation of four lines of rail bas at | length appeared, to the great satisfaction ofthe people. Holiness has also authorised the citizens to form their own local guard—an im- mense concession. He is understoad to be de- signing of measures of liberal reform. His popularity is immense. Spain. General Flores has obtained an army of 1000 | mea in this country, among whom are several oflicers and snb-officers of the regular army. His | enlistments have been made avowedly for the | purpose of attacking the Goverament of huis na- | tive country He has proceeded to the coast, and has probably set suil by this time. _ The Carlists are preparing most actively for a rising. Cubrera is suid to be already in Spain, and vast supplies of arms, ammunition, an clothiug, have been received in Englaud Great numbers of the Carlists, refugees in France, have | been arrested in crossing the f.ontier, and the French Government has thrown all that it eould lay its hands upon into prison. It is impossible to say what chance of success the Carlists have; bntit is certain that the detestation in which the present Governmeat is held renders the present as | ‘avorable atime for the rising as they could de- | sire. If they have money, as most probably they have, they may be e-abled to put the Govern- ment in serious danger, unless England or France should take its part. All partes, with the exception of the Carlists, are making active preparations for their new elections. The Government party will most likely gain the victory, for the Government functiona- ries have either shot, or'sent out of the kingdom, or deprived of the right of voting, the greater part | of their adversaries. Our newspapers have expressed great regret at the defeat of the Mexicans by General Taylor, but console themselves by expressing admiration at the daring courage with which thay say they defended themselves. The Heraldo, the Govern- ment organ, calls upon England and France to re-establish monarchy in Mexico, as the only means of saving that unfortunate nation trom the | clutches of the United States. Portugal. | The intelligence from Portugal is checkered. | Both the royalists and the rebels claimed suc- cesses ; on the whole, the most decided advanta- ges have been obtained by the Queen’s forces ; | | but the balance of hope still seems to lie on the | other side, Advices from Lisbon of the 20th ult., state that | a battle had taken place at Chaves, in the north | ot Portugal, between a portion of the insurgent army under the command of Viscode de Sa da ; Bandeira, and the Queen’s troops. headed by | Baron Casal, and the result had been a loss of be. | tween one and two hundred killed or wounded, besides two regiments (the 13th and the 15:h) which had deserted to the Baron Casal. This nows was considered very favorable to the royal | cause and the present Libor government. Gen. Ceiestino, with his division, had entered Santarem, | and so had the Baron de Almargen, with rein- | | forcements from Oporto. Switzerland. : \ The detestable principles of commuaism are | unhappily very prevalent in this country, and it is | ssid thata party, which possesses some power, is | determined to endeavor to enforce them on go- j vernment, under. preten:e of the necessity of | breaking down what they call the aristocracy of | money. These men purpose nothing less than to make an universal distribution of all property, | and it is needless to say that the very attempt to | put their doctrines into practice will create an- archy and bloodshed. Germany. | It seems to be confidently believed that the Zoll- verein has, or will, denounce the treaty with En- land, which expires in 1848. If Prussia and the Zollverein should be able to form a treaty of com - merce with the United States, as is now being at- tempted, the denunciation of this treaty would probably turn out to the advantage of the Uni- | ted States shipping, for in all |skelhood it would | transfer it to the conveyance of many bulky arti- cles, the monopoly of which is at present enjoy- | ed by British vessels, The three Northern powers, Russia, Prussia, and Austria, have determined between them- selves, contrary to the pledged faith in solemn treaties, to put down the republic of Cracow, as aseparate and ind+pendent state; and this de- | sign has actually been carried into effect with ex- | traordinary celerity. 1t 1s not doubted that this | | scandalous outrage will excite immense indigna- tion in England and France. In Germany it is | universally condemned, but unfortunately our | | ee dare not give utterance to their opinions. ntortunate Poland now exists no more—she is completely and entirely absorbed in her three op- | pressors, Russia, Prussia, and Austria. The ex- cuse put forth for this act of imquity is, that Cr cow was a hot-bed of insurrecuon, and endan- gered the peace of those three great powers, In our mercantile ci reles alarm exists that this jon may lead to a Euro- ean war, for it is not supposed that England and “rance will quietly uliow it to be perpetrated. — | At Vienna aiso the same alarm |, but it np- pears that the Minisier of Finance assured a dep | utation of merchants who waited upon him, that | peace would in nowise be disturbed, because, as | he intimated, neither England vor France would take any measures on the subject of a nature | likely to interrupt the friendly relations now ex- | isting. | The Orleans family are said to be much cha- grmed at the marriage of the Duke of Bordeaux | with the sister of the Duke of Modena. A letter | from Vienna confirms what was long believed, that Louis Philippe bas been using all bis infin at the courts of Europe to prevent his grand- | hew from marrying any of its princesses.— | .“Prince Metternich, if he has not promoted the marriage, has, at least, suffered it to be accom: plished, recommending (hat matters be managed with the utmost discretion. If the project had transpired, the imperial cabinet would have been expo: ed to the remonstrances of the cabinet of the Tuileries, with which it must in some way or | other have complied, in order to keep up a friend- ly intercourse with France, by appearing to avert tne court ofModena from the proj alliance. | On the contrary, the negotiation has been carried | On with the utmost secrecy; and when the affair was concluded, Prince Metternich got out of it in this way: he sent for M. de Fiahbaut, the French | ambassador here, and communicated to him a letter fromthe Duke of Modena to the Emperor of | Austria, whereby the Dake notified to his lmpe- rial Majesty his eldest 8 marriage with the Duke of Bordeaux; Prince Metternich added that the Imperial cabinet had known nothing whate- ver of the projected alliance until the moment the | Duke of Modena’s letter had reached the Empe- | | ror, who had even greatly complained to his | cousin of his not having been consuited on the | | Subject. Such is what is repeated in our circles, where Priace Metternich’s protestations aro dis- | believed by more than one.” | Austria. | It would appear by private letters from Vienna that the incorporation of Cracow with Austria did | not take place without 4 strong opposition on the | part of several members of the Aulic Cabin Count Koiiowrath, finding himself in a mino: on that important questien, t his r signation, with the firm determination to retire from public life. That resolution had produced the greatest sensation at Vienna. Itis stated that the Austrian termined to contract a loan for | (68,000,000 sterling.) Prussia. A letter from the capital, dated Nov. 16th, | says :—‘* The news of the occupation of Cracow, whlob has been circulated in this city, has pro- duced the liveliest sensauon the entire population, and especially among the middie classes. Itis said that te modify the effect of together the States — but it is not yet Ps at or Brandenburg. the States being convoked, and it is when 500 representatives stall gether, they will not separate without giving the | Country ® constitution.” An_ extraordi a ay raordinary gazette announces Led the 16th of Octol er tie troops of Teel toe | completely defeated, with eight hundred men | killed, three hundred taken prisoners, and the: loss of nearly all their artillery.

Cape of Good Hope. The last dates from Cape Town are to the September. The South African Commercial Journal states that, previous to the Sth September, the chief Stock had surrendered; the two other leaders, Mocomo and Umhala, had asked, for peace; and that Kreil had accepted the terins fered to him by the colonial nutnorides. Th: mn ditions offered by Sir Andreas Stockenstrom, on the one side, and partially agreed to by the chiet Kreli, on the other, are stated utlength. We can- not find space to enter into the details of the nego- tiation, which Kreli appears to have conducted with all the tact of a most accomplished diploma- tist; but from the whole it would appear to re’ —first, that the existence of Kreli, as chief of firland is to be recogaised; second, that he, as paramount chief, shoulit cede to the British go- vernment certain portions of the Kaffic territory, as according to the treaties of 1835; third, that res- titution should be mads to the missionaries for the losses they had suffered; and fourth and lastly, that Kreli should restore to the colony all the colo nial cattle ‘ound in the country. China. The following summary of news for the month is from the Overland Friend of China of the 23th of September. Tne events Woick have occurred since the departure of the last muil are not alto- gether devoid of interest to a distant reader. Affairs in the provincial city are very fur indeed from being in a satisfactory state: tranquillity, in | all probability, may be preserved until the norih east monsoon fully sets in, when the crisis to which matters are now evidently working, wil! most hkely result in an attempt to burn out the whole foreign community; the sooner such a pe- riod of commotion arises, if it is to occur at all, the better. The residents are fully prepared to defend themselves, and although the next gather- ing of the mob may evince a more determined op- position than they have yet displayed, with the assistance of the honorable company’s steamer edusa, we have nv fear whatever of the issue. In our columns will be found the copy of a chop, issued on the 16th instant, wherein the number of the killed on the 8th of July last is stated to be 20, and for each of these is demanded the head of aforeigner. Another chop of more recent date, in grandiloquence of language peculiarly Chi- nese, utterly denounces an American gentleman, an old resident amongst them. India. The advices from Bombay are to Nov. 2, Cal- cutta Oct. 22, Madras October 24, Delhi October 21, and Canton Sept. 22. The mail which arriv- ed onthe 2lst ult. informed us that the din of arms again resounded in the north of India. A formidable rebellion in Cashmere, headed by the late governor, who refuses to resign his authorit into the hands of the new sovereign, has compel- led Golab Singh to go out with all his troops to endeavor to subdue them ; while a contingent of Durbah for the purpose of cooperation. Such, however, is the plight of the domestic affairs of our allies, that before the army of the mountain Maharajah could march, 6000 British soldiers were requested to garrison his capital—before the Sikh soldiers could quit Lahore, the force of Sir John Littler must be detained. Brigadier Wheel- er accordingly marches into.the Jumboo territory with a strong force of about 6000 men ; and there remains till matters are quiet, or aid as circum- | A considerable detach- | ment, chiefly of artillery, is held in hand to leave | Lahore at a moment’s notice for the Beas ; while | Dera! fresh troops move from Ferozepore across the Sutlej, others moving up trom the southward into the Jullundur Dooab. lootlan matters look less satisfactory than could be wished for, and altoge- | ther the atmosphere of the political atmosphere throughout the Sikh dominions is unpleasing.— One of those wild and murderous outbursts, for which these regions seem remarkable, has ocetr- | red at Katmandoo. A favorite of the Queen, a man of high rank but low extraction, had been murdered. In revenge the Queen seems to have created an uproar among the people, during which upwards of 100 of the chiefs, consisting of | most ol the great officers of state, were cutoil. | The laternews is somewhat more pacific, and states that Sheik Emaum-ood-Deen, the leader of the Cashmere revolt, was negotiating terms, and provoked by intrigues of the Porte with | 2orh | Mark-lane having followed, and not, as usual, led th advance, This is « new featiire in the trade, nnd one de nerv! f notice. The accounts recetved this from the leading conntry markets state that a good | of business has been done in wheat at improving rates. At the shipping ports on tue east coast, the supplies ha barely kept pace with the demand, and prices 1s. to | per quarter above those previeusly current have conse- | quently been realized. Whilst this bas been the case in | the agriculturs) districts, the tendency has also been | upward at the large consuming towns, though not in so | marked a degree. | Holders of free foreign wheat have remained very | firm throughout the week ; but the inquiry has not been | active, and no advance on pravious prices has been es- tablished.

Supply of Provisions in Europe. | | | The French Minister of Agriculture omd Commerce has transmitted a circular tothe Prefets on the state of the provision supply, from which we extract the follow- ing: — Sinis: Nev, 16, 1846.—The last season has not been a favorable one; still the surplus of the harvests of 1848.4, and an importation of more than two millions of hectoli- tres of grain, will afford a supply adequate to the gene- rul consumption, without rai avei Price throughout France, which has beem 22f 6c on the year, above 22/ 950. ‘The annuul consumption of France, for the nourish- ment of the people and their cattle, for seed and for ma- nufactures, may be taken at 120,000,000 of hectolitres of wheat and other kinds of giain. The districts of the northwest, north, and northeast, sopply. nearly the half | of this quantity, say 60,000,000 of hectolitres. The dis- tricts of the west, the centre, and the east, supply about a third, or n 000,000. The remaining three dis- tricta, the sou south and southeast, yield rather more than a sixth, or about 20,000,000. | , The ordinary price of buckwheat, which in August last was 12f 216, felljn September to 11f 66c, and in Oc’ toter to 11f 820. The price of Indian corn fell succes- | sively, in three mouths, from 16f 160 to 14f 180, and in October last to 13f40c. It is at present below 10f in the departments of the Upper Garonne, of the Arriege. the Aude, of Eastern Pyrenees, kc. The potatoe Es year than last ; the easy mode of transport of this provision to the markets, and | the maintenance of its usual price within tolerably mo- | derate bounds, sufficiently prove the exaggeration of the | first com leon subject. At this moment the pi Rouen is 6f the hectolitre, and at Lille 6f 50c, at Strasburg it is 4f: id in the | south from 2f 0c to Sf 600. However, it must be ob- served that there are only fiteen departments in which this vegetable hes not suffered toa great, 4 e, either from drought er from the disease of 1845. ‘Ba, notwith- standing, the total loss does not exceed a quarter or a third at that of an ordinary d you wiiljperceive that the inferiority of the wheat harvest haa been great): lity of the produce, and al- ber of departments, ferior crops; and yet the ‘of the. hectelitre of wheat, which, at the end 2 g west, 1° was {22 96c, has risen in August to {23 95c, in nd in October to £26 7ic. The of July, September to f 24 89c, harvest has been magnificent in the ancient vinces and in New Russia, which supply Odessa, in Black Sea, Taganrog, Rostow, and the other ports of the Sea.of Asof. The enormous exportations in the years 1844 and 1845 gave, in those couctries, a great impulse to the cultivation of white crops; the extraordinary temperature of the present zs r has been favorable to their develop. As to antity, the people of Poland aud ia living on ef the peo} Pot Bessarabia on maize, nearly the y ed as surplus exportation. In 1845, nearly 4,000,000 hectolitres ef grain were exported from Odessa; and the quantity disposable in 1846 and 1847 will not be eas than 6,000,000 independent of the produce of Poland. ‘The countries on the sea of Asof may supply above 1,500,000 hectolitres.
