ADDITIONAL FOREIGN NEWS BY THK CAMBRIA, AT HALIFAX, THE POLITICAL AFFAIRS OF EUROPE, THE MARKOBTS, Ge., de, dies Owing to an interru;tion in the telegraph line, on Friday afternoon, our foreign news despatch, . brought by the Cambria, at Halifax, was not all re- ceived in time for the Herald of yesterday morning. At has since reached us, and we now give it to our readers. THE NEWS. The Cambria encountered strong head winds the whele voyage. She has about 52 passengers, and left Malifax for New York at 7 o'clock on Friday morning. It was stated in the Liverpool papers, that the Pact- fic encountered heavy head winds on her passage, and that she proved herself, in every respect, a very superior vessel, The passengers speak of ‘her in the highest | terms of praise, in which Capt Nye and his assistants come in for a full share +f commendation. She was to have sailed last Wednesday for New York. ‘The news from New York by the Niagara at Liver- Pool, of the invasion ot Lopes. created considerable »omsation in the commercial and political circles. | Many were indisposed to credit the fact, till the arri- ‘Yel of the Pacific; which put an end to all doubt upon the subject. The matter was brought under the notice of the government, and of both Houses of Parliament. In the Lords, Lord Lansdowne, in reply to Lord Brougham, expressed his belief in the sincere and good faith of the U. 8, government. He declined to answer a question from Lord Siauley, enquiring what orders had been sent to the British West India fleet. Brougham was of opinion that every British cruiser was bourd to asssist the Spanish government in di atroying the 8000 execrable pirates who bad joined the expedition, One hundred Hungarian refugees have landed at Southampton from Mal Count and Countess Dem- pinski were among them. The Greek Question. Although the Greek question is still unsettled, there sppears to be little apprehension that the diffculty between the several governments concerned will lead ‘to any serious result. ‘The London Times, in an editorial on the Sth Inrt., Bays “It appears that the English ministry, feeling itsclf hard pressed by the semi-hostile attitude of France, by the energetic remonstrance of other powers, and by an impending vote of censure in the House of Lords, ‘resolved, at any sacrifice of dignity and consistency, to patch up the dispute with France, Accordingly, aa acceptance of the terms which had been originally de- meanded of Gen. Lahitte, was despatched to Paris, and the stipulations agreed upon in London, were to be car- tied into effect as far as it might suit the Preach go- vernment and King Otho, to accede to them. “It cannot be forgotten that the charge made against Lord Palmerston by the French agents, is one which no concession can move, for it consisted ohiefly in an imputed breach of faith, and we have not learned that ‘the explanations subsequently given, have led to any ‘withdrawal of that accusation. The position of our aninistry has, therefore, become most extraordinary. ‘They have been charged, in the face of Hurope, with | emb: # breach of faith, which is inconsistent with thoir dig- nity. Instead of rebutting that charge with the indig- nation which such an imputation commonly elicits, they lowered their tone, as it were, to ontreat their | opponents not to be hard with them, and to make it vp.” ‘The latest advices from Paris, leave no reason to — doubt that the reply of Gen. Lahitte will be satisfac- tory, and that diplomatic relations between the two nations will immediately be re-established. Engla ‘The protectionists have been holding # meeting at Liverpool, which was attended by the bulk of the country party, and {@ said to have been the greatest political display that has been witnessed in Englaad for some tim In en article defining the details of the tables of the Board of Trade, for the three last months, the Euro pean Times says sent accounts, we cennot but feel more and more as- sured of the ratisfactory state of our commercial sys- tom, The springs of Industry ere now fully ia motion throughout the country, and can only be checked by the curtailed want of supply of the raw material from aproad.

The most important subject that has been under discussion during the past week, is that with reference | are held in Lower Canada, under the original grants from the crown of France, The question at issue | seems to be, whether the seigneures are to be consi- ered as landlords or merely as trustees, and whether | maximum rent was originally fixed, or one was con- templated, which should ostensibly incroase as the va- lve of money decreased, and that of tho land was rais- ed by the improvements which would follow ita se‘tlo- | ment. It appears that with the view of rapidly settling the eountry, andinducing men of wealth and property to emigrate, the Kingot France established two hundred seigneuries in Lower Canada, which were granted to individuals of that description, upon condition of go- | ing out with their families to a wilderness country— | the exclusive haunt of the wild beast and the Indiaa— carrying with them a rural population, erecting mills, taverns, places of worship—in fact, all the requirements | of a civilized community. From 1613, about five yeara after the city of Quebec was founded, te 1676, the seig- neurs were unfettered by any restrictions; but who, for the purpore of inducing emigrants to settle on their estutes, and, I believe, at tho instance ot the French government, demanded but a small smount of rent — One or two sous per acr among other con- Gitions, however, that the grain which was to bo rais- ed, should be taken to their mills to be ground, aud that whenever any property charged hands, ‘they should receive a fee proportionate to the suin paid by the new occupant; for wiile the lands were bestowed on the seigueur, the aliodial or absolute ty remained in the king. not sell it; be could only grant, or regrant, it to the tenant; and if he retused to do this, the party might apply and receive a title from the crown.— Iy process ‘of time, as I have before intimated—tho property having increased in value and that of money aving decreased—the nominal rent, at present, is toa times what it was originally; and if it is to be regrant- ed, the priee which is to be ‘paid is arrived at by mal- tiplying the annual rent by ten, and of the aggregate one tenth is to be paid to ihe landlord as his propor- tien of the purchase money. 1t is against thia pras- tice und the change in the price of reat, that an out- ery bas been raised, aud application made to the Legis- | laiure to alter the tenure by which land is held in Lower Canada, under the grants originally obtained from the crown of Franc: It will at once be perceived, that this isa very diffl- cult question to be dealt with, as it is a direct luter- | ference with the right of property, At present, as I understand the question, the French rural population in Lower Canada ar of the seigneurs, holding under the above described—the tenant paying arent Rigen po nnum, varies from two sous to twenty, and the landlord or seigneur not possessing the right to alienate or sell bis property, A petition on the rubject, signed by 32,000 persons, out of a popula- tion of six or eight hundred thousand, has been pre- proper- The seignour could sented, and, on ‘Tuesday last, Mr, the members of the solution: government, int stating that the ecignourial tewxre, in Low watter of public concern, which the Pro- gislature should tal w to the conversion of the one, protecting and equitably adjusting all the int reste concerned. and securing a fair indemnity, while effecting such commutation ; and proposing to refer the subject to & select committee, to report from time to time.

The country has been under s great mistake as to the Southern Convention—both as to the material of which it was to be composed, and the ends to be accomplished by it. In the first place, it was asserted that there would be but few who would dare to attend. The con- trary is the fact, for there wero upwards of one hun, dred and seventy delegates in attendance. Secondly- it was said that none would be there but the “ Hot- spurs’ of the South. This was a great mistako; for the action of the Convention—thoir calm, firm and dignified tone, utterly repel the idea that they are “Hotspurs.” Here were whigs, democrats, natives-— Union men and nullifiers—old and young—all concur- ring unanimously in the resolutions of the select com- mittee, laying down 26 deg. 3) mia. north latitude, to the Pacific ocean, as the extreme concession which the Southern States can make to settle the slavery coutro- There has been no declamation or denuucia- inst the North and its insticutions; no threats, sounding and unmeaning «ulogiums upon the South, have been indulged in; but the Convention have presented to the world a lofty patriotism, a glo- rious devotion to the constitution, and a manly fem- ness, which have inspired all hearts with eonddence, admiration and praise. ‘This was no ordinary body, composed as it was of men of the purest character, of great abilities, wixdom, and love of the South, thecon- stitution, and the Union. In looking over the Convene tion, we find among its members many gentlemen of fine political intelligence, who have served with honor and urefulness in their panies State Legislatures; ten judges and ex-judges of the Stace cirout caurts; tweive c presentatives and three ex.Senators in # of the United States; and wight ex-Gov- ign Statos of the Union, Here were also Generals Armstrong.
