The great Rovolution abro- gated that treaty, and a genius, at once a statesman snd a soldier, who didu’t adjourn from any duty nor shirk to sea-sides or breezy country places, bacama Consul of France. The industry of the French poople lay crushed and lifeless under the suceessive oppres- sions of British Free Trade and Revojution. Just as soon as Napoleon got in bis grasp the power of the state, bhe began to accomplish his patriotic ambi- tion to develop every resource of bis country, and tc appropriste to France all the industries, sciences, and arts of other countries that could be engrafted on hor soil and climate. Ho de- olared memorably, ‘‘Spain has twenty-five millions of merino sheep; I wish France to have one hundred millions.” Visiting the celebrated Oberhampf’s es- tablishment for printing calicoes, Napoleon said to bim, efter feasting his sight on the perfeotion of his fabrics: **Nons faisons tous deux la guerre & I'Angle- terre, mais je crois le meilleure est encore la votre— Waeare both of us carrying on a war against England; bat I believe that yours, after all, is the best.” Theso words, so flattering, so true, so statesmanlike, were repeated from one end of France to the other. Thoy #0 inflamed the imaginations of the people that the Lumblest artisan, believing himself called upon to be the auxiliary of the great man, had but one thought— the ruln of England. Worsted manutacturers and worsted operatives! you can getno such aid as Napoleon gave the woolon manufacturers of France. In default of it you best can belp yourselves. Convene, resolve, potition, state your needs, explain your grievances, make your demands, and record your oaths. It is leas than two years to another Congressional election. CANADIAN AFFAIRS. Tho present time finds the Provinoe of Camada in one of the most interesting stages of its political ex- istence. By tlie will of the mass of its peoplo it is now taking steps, through delegates in England, to unite ita fortunes with those of the lower Provinces. There is, however, a party opposed to confederation, and that party is formed, first, of the French-Canadiau Repub- licans (called the ‘‘Rouges”), under the load of the Hon. A, A. Dorion; second, of the ultra Reform party in the west, led by Messrs.- Mackénzie and Rymal; and lastly, of the few English speaking members of Parliament in the last, led by the Hon. L. H. Halton, a man of some commercial influence in Montreal. This party has some 32 representative in the present Legislature, aud opposed the passage of the confederation scheme at every step, but was largely outvoted in every division of the Houmse. The strength of the party lies in the French-Canadians under Mr, Dorion, who are not actuatod by political motives alone, but by the prejudices of race. They dislike British domiuation in any form. Notwith- standing all that bas been said by the Cartler party, the French Conadiaus, not influenced by Government officers and gifts, are inimical to the British. Tho v or of the present pro-English party was, in 1835, & " aug fired upon the British troops sent to disperse tho body of which he was a member.
