French Revolution —it’’ Probable Rfleets
on our Trade.
In a commercial point of view the recent Revolution
in Franc.’ may prove o! great importune* . Hitherto
our tnde with that nation hot been comparatively re
stricted, and particularly as regards the staples of the
Southern States. This illiberal policy on the pnri of
franc’ has rather increased than diminished of late
years. The treaty made with her in 1788, bv Dr Frank
lin, was baaed on the principles of Free Trade, nnd in
proportion to the population of the two countries out
in jtuxl commerce w.is much greater thin at present
The policy of Napoleon was anti-connnetcial Withuli
the world, nor were th. United Stiles exempted fiun.
the restrictions lie impo* lon other n llio.w The Gov
enrmcilt of L >ui* Philippe di nothing to omehorsn
this condition of things,but, o.i tlie contrary. 1 v impo
sitions on our cun nerc ■ w re m >re restrictive than on
thotof any oilier nation.

Cotton.and $1,620,88.1 of i'o .• c o. The duty on the

England ami Germany it is admitted duty Iree.
Our imports from France, in 1816, were ns follows :
Articles liable to specific duties $10,588,324
AJ valorem 15,405,655
Free ol duty 917,332
$23,911 312
It must be admitted that the productions of France
are among thooe upon which our Government imposes |
the heaviest duties. The commercial rrguhtions of
the two nations are therefore reciprocally illiberal
With so many reasons for a contrary policy, we are in
duced to hope that the new Government wid speedily
adopt such measures ns will place the comm ?cial inter*
course of the two nations on a more advantageous foot

We hnve the pleasure oflaying before the readers of
the Journal &. Messenger, the following important in
telligence from Europe. It was received by the Dutch
esv cC Orlran*. fr hi Havre, at New York, nnd Tele
g-nphedfrem Baltimore a few minutes before 12 o’clock
this day, It was re-iransniitted nt Charleston,and reach
ed us nt 8 o’clock, F. M We me indebted for it io the
enterprising Fidirors of the Charleston Courier.
7'hc revolutionary movcinent in Europe had received

The King of Naples finding resistance useless, had
yielded to die people nil they had demanded at his
hand*.
It is confidently expected, that notwithstanding nil the
concessions already made, the Emperor ol Austria will
be compelled to abdicate bin throne, as the popular
movement there was acquiring increased strength daily.
The Emperor of Russia had issued his Ukase, order*
ing hia army into the fi - Id because of the nilinnee of the
United (European) States to stop the flood ol anarchy
throughout Europe.
The King of Bavaria hot abdicated in favor of his
son Maximilian, and Dike Stephen has been appointed
Vice-roy of Hungary.
Genoa has separated from Sardinia, nnd joined the
Indian Unity, under a Republican government.
The French funds have stdi lit:liter declined 2 per ct.
Consols 811. Four Hundred Poles had left Paris, for
’lie purpose of exciting a Revolution in Poland.
Some disturbance's had occurred in Lyons and Havre,
b tween the people and soldiers, which however had
been easily quell-d. France was generally quiet.
Nothing later from Engi.a td or Ireland, though the
s:te of nfl)<ira onilte Continent will doubtless have mi
important bearing on the Cotton .Market.

Upon throe terms, 9ome forty subscribers wore obtain

We call attention to the adveitiscment ot Mr. P
J hweatt.llte former pruptietor ol fh** Georgia Journal
Tosaythut Mr. Thweatt has been very patient, and
that fie ought to be paid, w-uuld only be saying what
every thinking man will readily assent to. Ihe pres
ent circumstances of Mr. T. should prompt * vety one
to do him justice. He has just k covered from serious
in imposition, under wh c!i he has been laboring for
months. His affairs are of course deranged, and tie i
anxious to bring the old business of the Journal, to an
immediate close We only w ish that this appeal could
reach that class of delinquent subscribeis, to which the
concluding part of his advertisement applies. Fortu
nately for us we have stricken nearly nil .of those who
belong to the non-paying class from our list, and those
who continue to take the Journal vA Messenger, are
generally men who make it a matter of conscience to
pay the Printer. We therefore feel no deiieacy in pub
lishing his Card, because we know that very few iFany
of our present subscribers, w ill have cause to take of
fence at it.
Mr. IngersolTs fetter.
We publish w ith pleasure the letter of Mr. Xngersoll.
His disclaimer must of ouise be received, though no
one who will carefully compare the frank on the cele
brated package ailuded 10 m *ur paper ot the 12th and
the autograph signature lo the letter below can tor a
moment doubt the genuineness of the former. It is un
questionably Mr. Ingeraoli’s frank. So confident
are we ot this, that vve would be willing to submit
the question to the decission ot a Committee ol
Mr. IngeiSoirs own political friends it Congress*.—
Tlie euvelo|ie in q esuon may have been stolen; and
we might come to this conclusion did it hear any re
semblance lo an ordinary Congressional e ivelope. Ii
was however evidently manufactured tor the occ isioti,
a:td it m therefore a mystery to us how Mr Ingersoh's
frank could have been obtained without his knowledge
or consent. As the matter is however, we take pleas
ure in publishing his letter and lelievmg him from the
dark imputation cast upon his Congressional charac

Important Discovery*
We call the attention of the Wheat growers of Georgin,
to a recent invention announced in the Northern States
c'ri.ed “ Bent’z Utibrnnning Machine,” costing some
*3OO and £4OO. It is said to hull or peel four thousand
bushels of wheat per day, leaving all but ihe skin to be
ground into superfine flour.—The hull or skin weighs
some two pounds to the bushel, leaving fifty-eight
pounds of flour instead of fotty eight or fifty accord
ing to the common method of bolting and grinding
The saving by ihe general adoption and use of thistna
cmne cannot he less than Two Millions of barrels of
Flour annually in the United States alone, in place ot
so much bran and middlings—the difference in value at
the place of manufacture being not le.--s than Five Mil
lion of Dollars.”
Kentucky*
Tne Locofocos of Kentucky have at I* tigth found a
candidate for Governor, in ihe person of Lazarus W.
Powell The Louisville Journal says that the same
Mr. Powell was in 1844, the Locofoco candidate for
Congress in hi* District. In the course of his labors he
went to Litchfield in Grayson county, and made a
speech. In that lie indulged s free in hard swearing,
that the grand vry indicted him for prof unity and he
was actually convicted and fined !
The Mexican Bonds.
The five millions of dollars in Mexican bonds, which
ihe house of Manning &l Mackintosh expected to re
ceive in discharge of their loan of $600,000 to Santa
Anna—who was at that lime at ihe headot ‘he Supreme
Government—have been disposed of at one million
ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS. The purchaser is
Senor Bcistegon. He pays $600,600 in cash, SIOO,OOO
in instalments, and $ 100,000 in bonds. The latter
may possibly he had for $53,000, which will bring the
whole cost of the bonds recently advertised for sale
at $75',),000.
The Koine Kuriload.
The Coosa Hirer Journal, in speaking of the in
creased receipts of the State Road the past three
months, says:
“ The Rome Road will be completed before the ap
proaching Autumn,and the amdliiit which it will con
tribute to the Stale Road will be vastly more than many
contnnp ate. The whole trade ot the Coosa Valley,
embiaci. g some oi the richest and most productive
lands in the world, will find its natur ri outlet up the
Coosa _River, a stream navigable the whole year lor
small boats, and over the Rome Road. The produce of !

Abolitionists in Washington.
The Washington Correspondent ot the Charleston

ciicuinstuuci-s alluded to in our Telegraphic Des

** The Abolitionists, despairing of success in their
importunities to induce Conguss to declare all the

CORRESPONDENCE or THF. JOURNAL AND MESSENGER.
Washington, April 21 st, 184$.
Gents.—For some years past the democratic press
nnd the leatlers ol the democratic party in Georgia,
have incessant y taunted us with the speeches of Gid
dings in Congress, and the sentiments of others of a sim
ilar character expressed elsewhere ; while democrats of j
the north, such ns Dallas and Buchanan, have been held
up as true exponents of northern democrats, the faithful
“national allies of the South.” Efforts of this kind have
bet*n supported with much energy and perseverance in
the South, and with specious reasoning aided by super
ficial appearances, have made an impression upon the
masses of our people which it has been found difficult to
contend against. Whether th.'se who have so assidu*
ously labored to create this impression were dishonest o r
deluded, I shall not now pause to enquire. It is suffi
e.ent for the occasion to show them and those who have
been under their influence that their energies have been ‘
! spent in li e inculcation of error, and that the time is at [
hand when candor and honesty will compel them so j
acknowledge it, —here,none have the hardihood to de
ny it.
Last week the House of Representatives had to sub
mit to the infliction of two Democratic-Abolition-
Wilmut Proviso speeches, from Smart of Maine and
Luhni of Ohio, following in the track and fully endors
ing the views of Giddmgs and Root of Ohio, on the
same subject. They declared themselves instructed
and pledged to represent those views and opinions.—
There can no longer be a doubt (if the fact ever admitt
ed of doubt) that the northern democrats as a party are
as fullycommitted to the infamous Wilmt t Proviso as
tSie northern Whigs can be. In proof of this I enclose
you a paper (the Compiler) published in Washington by
democrats. The democracy, however, of the publica
tion will sufficiently appear in the extracts which I have
designated. You can publish them or any portion of
them, lor the enlightenment of your readers. The whole
publication is evidently designed to win the people of
the anti-slavery States from their inclination to support
Gen. Taylor. In this they will be disappointed if the
South be but united in purpose, and faithful to heroel*
and the Constitution. There is yet intelligence and
patriotism enough in some of the northern States to
rebuke the insidious efforts of demagogues and shield
the Union from the parricidal hands of knavery com
bined with fanaticism. I heard it asserted to-day by
two gentlemen—one a Clay man, the other a democrat
—that in one congressional district of New-Y'ork, Gen.
Taylor would g in from two to four thousand votes over
a regular democratic majority of some hundreds. This
admission was made with an apparent reluctance which
added to its force.
Senator Allen’s resolution expressive of American
sympathy with France in her late glorious and success
ful snuggie, has i ccasicned much discussion as to the
propriety of making theU. S. Senate the organ of such
a communication. No Senator I believe—no true re
publican,! might say—can withhold from France his
sympathy and good wishes. Yet Mr. Allen’s stentori
an lungs—which might have made him a much greater
man at a house-raising or a boat-launching than tie can
ever become a9 a statesman—bellow out the alarm
that n party in this country are unfriendly to republican
ism ! At the Odd Fellow’s Hall on the 18th inst. a
j meeting in relation to France was held. Whatever its
design in this respect might originally have been, it was
’ not of a partizan character. Gen. Cass made a very *
appropriate address Mr Allen, however, who always
, wishes to make a greater noise than any body else
(which he is eminently qualified to do,) on subjects of
i this kind, thought proper to insinuate that the viewsof
I the National Intelligencer in regard to the Revolution
lin France must be endorsed by the Whig party—or, in
, other words, that the Intelligencer and the Whig party
were * ynonymous The Hon Andrew Stewart, of
Pennsylvania, repelled the charge in his speech, and de
clared that such sentiments and sympathies as had been
expressed on this subject by the Intelligencer never
emanated from an Ameri an heart.” The meeting was
addiessed by several other gentlemen, and among the
most tlo juent was Tompkins of Mississippi.

PROOF POSITIVE
THAT OEN. TAYLOR WAS NOT IHE “CAUSE” OF THE WAR
As some of the Democratic papers appear to regard
as of much consequence an extract of a letter “from a
gentleman ol respectable character,” purporting to give
Gen. Taylor’s viewsof public policy, which was pub
lished in the “Union” of Thursday of Inst week, and
quoted in this paper of Friday morning the debates in
Congress, we have taken the pans to compare, in the
only particular where the means are at hand, the asser
tions thus anonymously put forth with the recorded sen
timents of the brave officer whom the Democrats seem
so anxious to dispnrage in the estimation of his friends.
The pait of the letter in the “Union” to w hich we re
fer is the following:
He (Gen. ‘laylor) thinks that the President was
not to blame about the war ; that he (Gen. Taylor) was
the cause of the moving of the army on to the frontier;
and gave as his reasons that a large force was collect
ed at Matamoroe, and, unless there was an opposing
force in the neighborhood, that the Mexicans might
croee over and commit any amount of dejiredatiuns
without hie being able to arrest their progress in time
to eate the inhabitants.”
Now, as no one disputes the honesty and straight
forwardness of Gen. Taylor, in order to be satisfied
that the above, if not a purposed misrepresentation, is
an utter misapprehension of his opinions, it is only ne
cessary to contrast the above w’ith the existing state of
facts at the time referred to, as derived from tlie cor
respondence of Gen. Taylor himself, and published
by order of Congress. From that correspondence we
make the subjoined extracts, plainly showing that there
was not a large force of Mexicans collected at Mata- ‘
inoros, and that Gen. Taylor never apprehended the
least danger to the frontier, from invasion by the Mex- 1
icans, while he remained at Corpus Christi. Writing
from that place, the Genctal suys:
August 20, 1845.—“ Caravans of traders arrive oc
casionally from the Rio Grande, but bring no new9 of
importance. They represent that there are no regu
lar troupe on that river, except at Matamoras, and do ‘
not seem to be aware of any preparations tor & demon
stration upon this bank of the river.”
August 26—“1 shall communicate with President
Jones and ascertaiu the number of volunteers that can
be called into service 111 c.i9e of an inv ision by Mexico,
and shall take the necessary steps to arm and employ
that force, should the safety of the country require it
J feel confident, however , that such necessity will
not arise .”
September 6.—■“ I have the honor to report that a
confidential agent , dispatched some days since to Mat
amoros, has returned, and reports that no extraordi
nary preparations are going on there; that the gar
rison does not seem to have been increased; and that
our Consul is of opinion there will be no declaration
of war .... The agent, who is intelligent, and up- j
on whose statements n good deal of reliance may, I !
think, be safely placed, says that the mass of the
people with whom he mingled is opposed to a war with
us”
September 14.—“ Iu view of the large reinforcements
of regular troops ordered to join me, I cannot believe
that it will become necessary, under any circumstan
ces, to employ volunteers from the United States
I have directed two of the three companies from Red
River to San Antonio, retaining one at Austin. Wuh
a company of mounted rangers at each place the fron
tier will be secure from insult. The commander of
the rangers at Son Antonio (Major Hays) has reputa
tion a9 a partisan, and to him I have specially entrust
ilia ‘Lity ~f Laa|.ing mo of any movements
on the Rio Grande, in the neighborhood ol Loredo....
We have no news ol interest from the frontier. Arista
at the last accounts, was at Mier, but without any
force; nor is there as yet any concentration of force
on the river.”
October 11.—“ Recent arrivals from the Rio Grande
bring no news or information of a different aspect from
that which I reported in my last. The views express
ed in my previous communication relative to the pacif
ic disjwsition of the border people, on both sides of
the river, are continually confirmed.”
November 7.—“ I respectfully enclose a copy of a I
letter from Commodore Conner, commanding the home I
squadron.”
This letter is dated on board the ship Falmoutb, off
Vera Cruz, on the 24th October. In it the Commo
dore says “No troops hare marched t wards the
frontier fora length of time; and I am told by Mr
Parrott, who left Mexico a few days since, that many
of Arista’s officers had returned to that city in a state
of utter poverty .”
In the same letter, Gen Taylor, in reference to a
suggestion of removing the army to the Rio Grande,
says: “The pus,tun now occupied by the troops may
perhaps be the best while negotiations are pending,”
[and he knew negotiations to be pending at the time
he wrote ] •
November 19.—“ Should the present pacific aspect
ol our relations with Mexico continue, it will not be
necessary to continue this force [the comuanies of T*x
sn range Isj in aerv'ce, except possibly one company
as guides .”
The next despatch from Gen. Taylor is dated on the
7th of January, and, consequently, the above are all
that could have reached Washington at the tune the
march to the Rio Grande, which caused the war, was
directed by in Order from Head quarters in this city
That order bears date on the 13th ut January, 1446.
I§ it probable, then, we would ask, in view of the pa
cific aspect of affairs, as described by General Taylor
himself, which existed on the Rio Grande during the
whole time that our a my remained at Corpus Christi,
that Gen. Taylor could have stated to thia “gentleman
of respectable character” that he was the cause of the
moving ol the army to the Rio Grande, and had caused
it sc to be moved because a large force was collected at
Matamoras, and lie feared they might cross over and
commit any amount of depredation* without his
being able to arrest their progress in time to save the
inhabitants ?— Natwnal Intelligencer
Mr* I’lhi’h Letter*
j The letter from Mr. Clay, which we publish this
; morning, spppears to be authentic, and must command
} general attention. We sincerely regret that Mr. Clay
should have allowed hunarlf to be dissuaded from hia
I original intention of remaining in private life—as we
had hoped and believed he would do—since we think the
chances of his nomination very small indeed. Our own
preferences have been too plainly and repeatedly ex
pressed, to be mistaken, and we have seen no cause aa
yet to change them. ‘Mr. Clay s avowed motive is
a patriotic one, hut in our opinion he greatly over-rates
hia own araifafri/ify—Gen. Taylos ran carry all the
States he counts on, and more. It tlierefore behooves
4 the friends of the Old Hero to secure Ins nomination
by sending lull delegations to the National Conven
