LLL The French Question. ALLIANCE BETWEEN RUSSIA AND THE UNITED sta’ BTC. ETC. [from the Assemblce Nationale. of Paris. Oct. 9 J it is impossible to believe that the difference be- tween France and the United States can become serious. It is not on account of some hasty.notes, or werds of bad education that two great States will break their political and commercial relations; but we cannot but remark how much the choice diplomatic agents influences the destiny of ne- ions. In general, since February, the nomi- nation of our agents to foreign countries has been made without reflection, and it 38 sufficient to travel a little, to perceive their ohjectionable demeanor— at one time thinking to surprise ope haughty lan- guage ; and at another, allowing themselves to be played on by more skilful diplomatists. The choice ge is most important for the success of an . In that science, men make the things and characters, create difficulues, or remove them. ‘The aflair of the United States will be arranged ; but ut must not be forgotten that the Cabinet of St. Petersburg has been, for many years, anxious for the alliance with America, and that the wnterest of the United States is, to have a maritime position in the Med:terranean, similar to that which the Eng- lish have at Malta, or in the Ionian Isles. Theiram- bition could be satisfied by a great war for the d vision of the Ottoman empire. That is still dis- tent in the future, but the policy of cabinets is pre- paring for it. _{Paris Cor. (Oct. 7) of the London Times.) With respect to the aflair with the United States and the delivery of his passports to M. Poussia, I may be allowed to say one word as to the manner in which it appears to be viewed here. There 1s no question that the French government admits and regrets that langvage uubecoming | diplomatic eourtesy has been used by its own minister; but it also believes that language of an equally, perhaps more, insulting nature, had been used towards M. Poussin; and, further, it is of opinion, that the de- mand made for salvage by the American captain, whose name | believe 1s Carpender, is most unu- sual on the part of an officer in the naval service of any government. A captain of a man-of-war ({ give the opinion entertained by the French go- veroment) never expects, or demands, payment for having rendered the service mentioned in the present cese. In a word, it admits that there were rosct retés de deux coiés, but does not approve of its agent entering inte such a war of words. With regard to the of conduct likely to be pursued by the French government, | believe that, verond @ Cessation (temporary, itis to be hoped) of diplo- Matic relations, nochiwg more serious will follow. The case so far di fers from that of Su Henry Bul- ‘wer anc the Spar’ h government, that there is now actually no American minister in Paris, nor was there at the moment the passports were delivered to M. Poussin. Mr. Kush hed been recalled pre- vious to the occurrence fayiog place, and though ves, the new minister, has arrived in Paris, I believe he has not yet presented his credentials, and, consequently, he is not as yet the recognised minister of the United States. Neither 1s it proba- ble that the letters acereditiog him to the French republic will be presentea yet awhile. He will, probably, wait for further instructions from Wash- ington. Should he not do so, and should he de- mand to be received by the President of the French republic, it 18 probable he would not be received until an understanding be come to on the subject of M. Poussin. The D. + of Russia on Tarkey. [foi the London Suuday Times, Oct. 7] : * Meanwhile, it 18 right that the people of this country suould not be misled respecting the cha- acter and policy of the Linperor Nicholas. Certain writers allecting, lo serve their Own purposes, ex- tremely moderate views, would fain have it thought that though Prince Radzivii threatened the entire body of the fugitives with instant execution, the Czar would practically prove much less inhuman, and only sena the patriots to exile in Siberia for lie. Our own opinion isthat, as the grave would be a much seter place of exile than Siberia, it is to the gtave wathe would condemn them. fe cares nothing for public opinion, except in so far as its general expression may interfere with the devel- opement of his policy. i - f Sull, though mtent ou the gratification of his vengeance, it is with far other desigas that Nichos Jas pursues the system of insult towards the Sul- No one can be ignorant that in_the archives an ambition there are maps in which ‘Tur- key is included among the imperial provinces, or that Constantinople has not ja been regarded merely #s the southern capital of Ruesia. ever, therefore, the moment arrives whic! Czar regards es auspicious, he will seize at the first pretext which presents itself for panning his conquests southward. Persia is already little better then a Russian province, as our government | is painfully couseious. The autocrat’s will is as servilely obeyed at Teheran, as it is at St. Peters burgh; and ICussian agents are incessantly travers- ing Affghanistan, and penetrating into India over the Indus. ‘Turkey has bimerto eseaped this fate, through the jealousy of ‘he European powers ; but the tune has probably now come when Russia will consider it prudent boldly to throw etl the mask, since yo other country appears to be in a position to evter advantageously on an important war. Our convict.on has always been that war is the normal state ot humanity,and that peace 1s a mere accident. We, consequently, believe that so long as political societies$ ‘shall endure, they will staad in need of fleets and armies tor their defence. At the present moment it is well for us that we have a fleet, and that large section of it ts in the Medi- terrane for, in whatever way the question may be decided, you may rely upon it that the naval forces of Great Britatn will have much to do with the decision. If the termination be pacific, it will be so through fear of our naval power. and if it be warlike, that power; will have to be called into play to bring tt about. We cannot aflord to lose a jot of our influence. Not that we are to aim at great- ness by Wag but that we should always be ready to ph military and naval forces in defence of our industry and civiliation, Otherwise, the influence of the peacetul arts would be of short du- ration, for all the creations of our industry would be only #0 many baits to allure robbers to spoil us. ‘The sword is the palladium of treedom and of na- tional independence; and if there be aay nation that refuses to pay it a sort of civil worship, the date of that nation’s servitude has beew fixed, and it must speedily be obliterated from the catalogue Of inds pendent States. Up to this moment, the Sultan has acted with equal spirit and pradeuce, under the influence, ap- rently, of the ambassadors ot France and Eng- nd, Who, without the authority of their respective governments, could not give him, the possitive as- surance of military aid. But should he in, pursa- ance of their counsel, bring down the vengeance of Kuesia upon his country, we are bound by the most sacred of all tee to exert all the power of kng- land im its defence. We mast send fleet after fleet to the Bosphorus; we mast bombard St. Pe- tersborg; we must annhilate the Kassian navy, eommer and imperial; we must raise the cry rebellion in Poland ; we must scatter the germs ot _ revolution through ftussia self ; and in this way may break up thatdetestable system of despotiam which hes long weighed upon eastern Europe like the nightmare. There are no doabt we are sorry to cg eg pene ome the ee who imogine that, by certata political combinations on the continent, Great Britaincen be reduced tothe condition of a satellite. We profoundly pity the gentlemen who entertain this notion, It is within our competence, for good or for evil, to convulee the whole civilized world ; at various occa- sions, which need not be enumerated, we have done so. And let 1 not be forgotten, that when that was the case, we were far weaker than we are now. Our empire in the east has been enlarged and strengthened, val force is infinitely better or- ganized ond more compact, eur opulence vastly increased, and our population at home ai abroad has acquired a portentous Rona ton ‘Let it not be forgotten that we are two hundred and fifty millions, and that if the energies of this mighty population were to be daringly let loose wpon the world, there is no state or government that could, for many months, withstand the shock. It is in our torbearance and moderation that our neigh must discover their safety; we are natu- rally a facile people, because we preter civilizing to roying men. But should circumstances com to take up arms for the defence, for ex- eh an the Suitan of Constantino- ample, ple, we should ini be ably to destroy the power, whatever it mucht be, against which we might divect the torrent of our hostilities. Russia is vulnerable on all but more especially through Poland and the Tartan provinces of Asia; through these we might introduce the germs of revolution and anarchy, which, by their explosion, would shatter Kuseia to pieces. Let the Ozar not lose sight of this; we hoid a terrible power in our hands, and know well how to wield it when- ever teeane comes. The Kusar in Eagland know weil that this 18 no idle threat; the Czar him- selt trembles at the invisible torce ot opinion, and there 1s not a single province in his are 1 which our emissaries, if we thought fit to employ them, might not easily awaken a revolutionsry Nemesia. Nor would there be the slightest politi cal immorality in dus. The antag t principle of homanity and civilization is desyetism, which al- ways works by undermnng. We must, therefore, meet it by countermines, and seek it out where its greatest strength hes.

So far as can be jud; however, from the receipts of the quarter as pets now known, we believe that the result for the quarter and the year wili be most satisfactory, as regards a comparison both with the quarter and with the year ending the 10th of October, 1848. " We may commence by stating that there will be a small increase on sho gress revenue for the quar- ter over the corresponding quarter of last year; and that, on a comparison ot the two years ending on the 10th of October, 1848 and 1849, respectively, a similarly satisfactory result may be expected. ‘That it is satisfactory and encouraging so to keep up to the standard of last year and quarter, 18 most easily shown by a statement of the several receipts ‘The customs will show an actual decrease, as compared with the quarter ending the 10th ot Oc- tober, a? f not less than from £300,000 to £400,000. decrease, large as it looks on a single quarter, 1s more than accounted for by con- sidering what a large quantity of foreign corn has been imported in the corresponding quarter of last year, just at the time when our own harvest was not yet available, and when the distress and de- ficiency in Ireland were at their height. ‘The loss, too, of so large a proportion of the sugar and tim- berduties has had its due influence—an influence which, if we reason from all previous experience, will be less and less felt every day. This falling- off in the customs, we are happy to say, is the only apparently unfavorable item in the account, and is eee than made up by the actual prosperity of the others. The excise will show a gratifying increase, al- most suflicient in itself to cover the temporary falling off in the customs. ‘This is the more satis- factory, when it 18 stated that it arises from a comparison with a most excellent quarter last year. When it is considered that the condition of excise revenue 18 so strong a criterion of the com- fort of the working clesses, this increased and in- creasing improvement is beyond all price. . The stamps, which had so greatly fallen off dur- ing the check to commerce and trade last year, exhibit a most remarkable activity, and will yield an increase of not less than £100,000 over the Oc- tober quarter of 1848, ? The atxes will also show a small increase. . The Post Office, too, will add its most instruc- tive evidence to the increased activity of trade, by showing an improved net revenue of £100,000, in spite of the heavy expenses incurred 1m order to give enlarged accommodation to the public in town and country. ‘The in¢rease in the property-tax will also appear with its most decisive evidence in favor of the,im- provement ofthe general presperity over the de- pression of the corresponding period of the last year. Upon the returns of the year ending the 10th of October, 1848, and the 10th of October, 1819, res- pectively, it may be sufficient to remark that they will exhibit a comparison not very materially dif- fering from the comparative statement of the cor- responding quarter, which we have given abeve. The customs will show a decrease from the same well to the | causes which we have already pointed out, and which were taken into account when the changes in the tariff were made. The only difference be- tween the calculations and the actual result is, that the calculations were made on the safe side (as they ought to be) and that the depression is not as great as was expected. The taxes, stamps, Post Office, and property- tax, will all show most gratifying proof of increas- ing prosperity inthe returns tor the year. ‘Ths above items comprise what is called the ordinary revenue, and, not being subject to casualties, are ordivarily reckoned the tests of the national pros- perity. The sales of stores, crown lands, and mis- cellaneous, vary so much according to circum- stances which are wholly casual, that they are not taken much into account, although they serve, as far as they go, to balance « quarterly or an annual account. It may not be out of place to remark, in refer- ence to the receipt of the revenue, that the nation- al expenditure has been, and is, ia process of con- siderable reduction, and that both the imports and exports of the country exhibit an increase and an vity that must be attended with the most de- cisive aud beneficial results im every point of view. Tre Cunany Ling or Packers.—The Times, on the 1th instant, described the origin of the Penin- sular and Orients! Steam Navigation Company, and its various contracts with the government as detailed in the evidence recently issued on the contract packet service, ‘lhe same paper also gives some important particulars of the Bos ton and Halifax, or Cunard Company. —The con- tract for this line was first advertised in Nov- ember, 1838. Upon that occasion two tenders were received—one from the Great Western Com- pany, who proposed to go ounce a month to Halifax only, and ye three vessels of 350 horse power, for £45,000 per_ annum; the other from the St. George’s Steam Packet Company, who pro- posed to go once a month from Cork to Malifax for £45,000 (or £65,000 if New York were included) with vessels of 240 horse power, the engagement to be for seven years. Neither of these was ory om ed, and subsequently a proposition was made by Mr. Cunard. fie submitted that by going once a week, the whole of the letters would be carried by the steamers, and the American liners would cease to take them, and he offered to do this at Jess than halfthe sum per voyage required in either ofthe tenders. An agreement was made with him in the first instance to go twice a month to Halifax and Boston, with vessels of 300 horse power, for £60,000. This contract was for seven years. It commenced July 4, 1840; and the terms were af- terwards extended to £55,000, in consequence of ad- ditional vessels and larger size pene required. — | Subsequently it was found that New York compa- | nies were establishing lines, and Mr. Cunard then pressed the government to fulfil the original plan of once a week, Lis existing contract contained a clause that upon an extension of the service tofour t month, the eame rate in proportion should be paid; but the government considered £60,000 a sufficient sum in addition to the £35,000 already payable, and a boy of contract was fecotdinggy entered into in } fora weekly mail for £145,- 000; not, however, until a delay had taken place, during which American lines had been formed, which will now increase and divide the traffic, | both as regards passengers and letters. From the | first organization of this line, government got back | in postage as much as joey paid, and the receipts have steadily increased. "The service is now per- | formed every week from Liverpool to Halifax, and | thence to New York and Boston alternately, th average speed being 11 knots, and the vessels in ure 1,850 tons and 700 horse power, instead of 300, as inthe original contract. Additional ves- sels are at present building, which will be 2,050 tons, and 800 horse power. The company are at liberty to go to New York without going to Hali- fax, and, according to Mr. Cunard, they will pro- | bably do £0 as soon as the powerful ition ves- sels now preparing at New York shall have com menced running. The Bermuda contract, which is a branch of the Halifax line, had existed for 25 or 30 years by sailing vessels, the annual payment being £4,460, and fora year past it has been con- some by screw — ao _ — _ eir average & is about 8 knots, and they per- form the pamaae, between Halifax and Bermad: which oceupies from 34 te 4 days, twice a mont The veesels are between 80 and 00 horse power, the stipulation in the contract being that they shall not be less than 50 horse power. Trapr or Great Brrrams.—We have just re- ceived the Board of Trade returns for the month, and eight ithe ending the 5th September last. The ret show that the total importation of col he month was 5,590,840 Ibs. = 4,741,613 the corre: ing month of Inet ear; 2,830,855 Ibs. were entered for ome consumption in the month of this year, against Iba. last year; 1,195,493 cwt. of unrefined sugar have beet imported inst 772,607 ewt. in the corresponding month sie previous year. Of these there have been entered respec- tively for home consurnption, 564,870 cwts. against 465,240 cwts. Of tea the figures are 2,753,724 Ibs. for the month in the present year, and 997,581 lbs. last year. In wine there is an increase in the im- portations, ime iguree standing respectively 32,882 and 659,605. ¢ total declared value of exports are £6,328,457 for the month last past, against £4,508,4€2 tor the corresponding month of 1848, and fer the eight months of the present year £39,208,922, wgainst £31,633,214 for the like months of 1818 —London Mercantile Gazette, October 5. Travr or France —The Constitutionne saye— “Many serious lessone may be derived from the general table of the commerce of France in the yeer 1848, just peeees yf the Custom-house ad- ministration. They show how dearly the working clasees have to pay for the luxury of revolutions and the enjoyment of revolutionary government How many privations, how much distress of all forte, do these long columns of figures reveal! Th general commerce of France, which embrac our intereourse with foreign coantries, whatev ‘he origin of the goods imported or the de: nation of t exported, turned, in 1848, on official value of 2,015,000,000f , being a decrease of 699,000,000F., or 23 percent. on the results of the preceding year! As regards the special commerce, which only concerns the merchandise imported tor ovr eonsumption and the national goods exported — a trade which more direetly 1 ets us—the de- crease js etill preater; the epecial commerce of 1248 amounted to 1,890,000,000F , which exhibits a falling off, as compared with 1847, of 26 per cent. The eum of 1,£99,000,0001 , which represents the total amount of the spectral commerce, 1s thus di vided :—Importe, 566,000,0001. ; and exports, 834. 000.0001. The difference, as compared with 147, ia 43 percent as regards the imports, and 6 per cent. ar regards the exports. This decline of 43 per cent., (or nearly one moiety of the imports ) attests the saririags experienced by our manufac- turing industry. It is known, in fact, that the goods imported chiefly consist of raw materials which we manufacture in France, Thus, for ex- ample, the imports of silk have fallen from 76,000,- 000f. to 38,000,000f. only ; woollen goods, from 30,000,000f. to 13,000,000f. ; oleaginous seeds, from 34,000,000f. to 11,000,000. ; andreseed skins, from 25,000,000f. to 16,000,000f. ; unwrought iron, from 14,000,000f. to 6,000,000f. ; zinc, from 5,000,000f. to 2,000,000. ‘The Sonmpmaption of colgial sugar has declined from 55,000,000f. to 30,000,000f. It would be impossible to calculate all the losses which have been consequent on the suspension of the industrial movement—losses te the manufac- turer, whose matériel remains unproductive, and losses to the operative, who barely worked one day out of two, The exports have sustained a reduc- tion far less considerable than the imports. The difference, as we have shown, is oaly 6 per cent. This result 1s explained on the one hand by the ac- tion of the temporary premiums which were granted on the exports of our manutactured produce, and on the other by the sacrifices which our manufac- turers imposed on themselves in order to make an outlet for the goods which encumbered their mag- azin Our exchanges have declined—viz., by 16 per cent with the United, States of America, 16 with Sardima, 21 with Spain, 24 with Belgium, 30 with the German Zolleverein, &c. The only in- crease is noticeable in our trade with England and the Swiss Republic. Our colonial trade has fallen off by 44 percent. Our transit, trade has not suf- fered less. The carrying ot foreign produce across the French territory amounted to a weight of 351,000 quintals, against 650,000 in 1847—equiva- lent to adecline of 46 per cent. As to the mari- time movement of France with the colonies and with foreign countries, it has declined from 3,146,000 to 1,995,000 tons—equivalent to 27 per cent. The foreign flag, however, has suffered to a greater extent than the French. In concluding this sad enumeration, we may state that the pro- duce of the Customs’ duties was in 1848 less by 48,000,000f. than in 1847. Our colonial sugar fig- ures for 19,000,000f, ; woollens, for 4,000,000f ; un- wrought iren, for 3,000,000f ; coffee, for 2,000,000F.; olive oil, for 2,000,000f,, &c. In Paris alone, the falling off of the Customs’ receipts nearly 50 per cent. The Corn Trade of Engtand. From the Loudon Mercantile Gazette, Oct. 12.] _The weather has throughout the week been highly auspicious for the conclusion of the north- erm harvest, and so much progress has been made, that little grain now remains abroad, even in the backward and mountainous districts. Meanwhile the reports, in reference to potetoes, are not quite so bad as was expected would, ere now, have been the case ; in Ireland the disease is certainly more general than on thisside of the channel, still a con- siderable proportion of the crop turns up compara- tively sound, and as far as digging has hitherto been proceeded with, the result has, in our opinion, proved better than at one period we dared to hope. hat we have more food of home growth, for man and beast, than in good average seasons, we feel perfectly satisfied; and though the extra produce will not go far towards compensating our farmers for the extreme depression of prices, still they are better off than they could have been if unfortunately our harvest had turned out as deficient as in 184 It_ 1s not so much the productiveness or deficiency of our own crops which will in future rule prices here, but the extent of the foreign importation: these have latterly been, and seem likely to con- tinue, very liberal: and though the value of corn aie Denes rise a little whilst farmers ere busy with sowing, sll we can discover no ground to calculate on a permanent or important improve- ment. The character of the wade has undergone very little change since our last. At some of the farmers’ markets, where no stocks of old are held, slightly enhanced terms have in partial instances been realized, whilst at some of the large consum- ing towns in the north the turn has been slightly in favor of the purchaser. At Mark-lane business has remained very quiet. Upto the close of las week the arrivals coastwise were tolerably good but eince then the receipts have been small. Fine white Essex wheat was in fair request oa Monday, and realized prices quite equal to those previously cOrrent; secondary sorts and red did not sell so freely, and betore the Kent stands could be closed, factors ound it necessary to make some little con- cession. On Wednesday there was scarcely anything fresh up from the neighboring counties, and the show was equally Pini this morning. The millers have generally conducted their operations witha ood deal of caution; but tehy have not succeeded in buying on easier terms than in the beginning of the week. During the week ending Saturday last, we had very liberal receipts of wheat trom abroad, but the supplies have fallen off. A considerable portion of the recent arrivals from abroad has gone direct into the hands of our millers. The experi- ment of importing their own wheat is not likely to prove advantageous to our home manufacturers, most of that which has lately come to hand from Dantzic, &e., having cost nearly as much free on board as it is now worth in our market. The transactions have, throughout the week, been on a retail scale, the local inquiry having been decid: ly slow, and but few country purchasers having made their appearance. In this state of affairs, uotations have encoun little or no change. he busiuess done on Monday last, was on terms precisely similar to those currept on that day pba ge and not the slightest variation has oc- curred since then. Polish Odessa has excited more attention than Baltic qualities; the finer kinds of the former, besides possessing great strength for mixing, have been offered compara- tively lower than Restock and similar sorts. The nominal top quotation of flour has undergone no change, and ship samples have been mostly held at revious prices. English barley has come spar- ingly forward, and the malting season having co: menced, full terms have been realized tor the finest ualities. On Monday the best samples sold at Tom 30s, to 328, per quarter, and the tew lots ex- hibited this morning were held at the rates named. Business in foreign barley has not been by any means map py gg heavy grinding sorts have been steadily at 21s. to 22s., and fine Saale at 25s. to 268. per quarter. We heard of no sales ot the Jatter either to-day or earlier in the week. ‘T' supplies of new oats from Ireland have been rather increased, and from abroad the receipts have con- tinued on a liberal ecale. Superior corn, whether of home or of foreign growth, been held firmly, and needy buyers have been under the necessity of paying previous prices; inferior and ill-condi- tioned Irish and foreign oats have in some cases been parted with at an abatement of 6d. to Is. r quarter on last Monday week's currency ew a beans have come to hand freely, and the turn has been in favor #f the buyer. Grey and mage pease were offered at 27s. to 29. per quarter on Monday, and new white boilers at 30s. to 32s then no difficulty has been pel ced buying at the terms me d. ‘We have heard of no sales of floating c = corn; holders have asked full terms for the article. lecellany. ave commenced in the A follower of Garibaldi hasbeen Foreign Political executions Pontifical Stat shot at Bologna.
