COTTON.—Our Cotton market, for the past week, has been dull, depressed, and prices have given way, since our last weekly report, fully 1 to jof a cent. The receipts from all quarters, by rail road, wagons, and boats, have fallen off very considerably, and wo believe the heavy rush of receipts is over. The high price and fine wea ther induced our planters to bring forward their crops, to a very heavy extent, much earlier than »» for many years past. There has been consid erable falling off, also, in the quality of the Cot ton brought to market, during the past week, and fine Cottons are becoming scar ce. The sales of the week reach 4315 bales, at the following rates: —9l bales at 8} ;6at 8J ; 63 at 9; 14 at 473 at 9} ; 6 at 9 5-16; 254 at 9}; 103 at 9 7-16; 571 at 9J; 6 at 9 9-16; 254 at 9j; 617 at 9J; 79 at 9 13-16; 279 at 9J; 693 at 10; 18 at 10 1-16; 2i5 at 10}; 64 at 10 3-16; 237 at 10}; ' 82 at 10); 81 at 10};a id 9 bales at 11 eeuls.

Thio decrease is principally at Charleston and New Orleans, being at the former less than last year, and at the lat lobales short. Mobile, Srvaunah, and HLltfinU, vary but little from last year, but show some excess, as the rivers tributary to them have all been in better order this year thau th» past. The foreign exports, up to the latest dates, reach but 95,000 bales—46,ooo to England. 29,000 to France, and 11,000 to other foreign ports, against 225,000 bales last year; 160,000 te England; 33,000 to France, aud 32,000 to other foreign ports —showing a decrease to England of 114,000 bales; to France of 3,000, and to other foreign ports of 21,000 bales.

The shipments from the south ern ports to the north roach this year 107,000 bales, agaiiut 93,000 bales at same dates last year.

Most of our readers are aware ot the injus tice which has been long done us, by some members of the whig party, for the course we have been constrained by a sense of duty to pursue. We were called a half democrat, and our paper was disparaged as a whig journal. What will be said now ? The resolutions of Mr. Gartrell in lhe House, and of Mr. Clayton iu lhe Senate, (both whigs,) are sus tained by the whig press, as far as we have yet seen, with the exception ofour u big neigh bor in this city. That, however, has not yet spoken for or against them. We shall pub lish the views of tho whig papers as they may appear. What have we contended for that is not contained in the resolutions alluded to? The ayes of some whigs have been opened by the votes of the people—Are we not justified by events ? What will the three hundred and fifty Georgians, who stopped our paper, say now! They had the right to do so, if they wished it. But does not the fact ultra the people in the face now, that we have been wronged. We are not complaining, but let justice be done us. Thauksgr.ving The Constitutionalist, of this morning, has tho following from their correspondeat in Mil ledgeville, under dale of November 17th : Mr. A. J. Miller offered a resolution, request ing the Governor to issue his proclamation to lhe people of this State, setting apart Thurs day, the 29th inst., as a day ot Thanksgiving to Almighty God for His mercies and blessings of the past year. Which was agreed to. We learn that the above resolution passed the House of Representatives, and that the Governor, in compliance thereof, has issued his Proclamation setting apart Thursday, the 29th November, to bo observed as a day of Thanksgiving in thia State. Milledgeville, Nov. 17, 1849. In the Senate, yesterday, a petition from ci tizens of Columbia, to change the time of hold ing Courts from Monday to Tuesday follow ing, was presented by Mr. Miller,and referred to the judiciary committee.

John Barry for a handsomely bound copy, in five volumes, of lhe works of the Right Rev. John Englund, first Bishop of Charleston. These writings, of this distinguished Prelate of the Roman Catholic Church, have been com piled under the direction of his immediate suc cessor, tho Right Reverend Ignatius Aloysios Reynolds, second Bishop of Charleston. We have had time to do no more, as yet, than mere ly to glance through them. But a slight ex amination, however, impresses us with a full sense of their great va'ue, whether we regard their literary or theological merits. They comprise a vast amount of learning, a full ex position of the leading tenets of the Catholic Church, and historical and literary essays and discourses of rare beauty and excellence. To the Catholic this presents the highest attractions; for, while all the leading features of his church and faith are there found pre sented in their strongest light, irradiated by the genius of the author, those most objected to, by other persuasions, are vindicated by ar guments so clear and logical as, if not to con vince, at least to command the admiration ot the most critical logician. To the general reader, who desires informa tion upon theological subjects of great inter est, which divide the opinions of the civilized world, and who loves to rove amidst the bright regions of fervid fancy and intellectual supre macy, these works offer lhe means of a rich gratification. Among other things we will enumerate, as apart of the contents, the following:—Bio graphical Sketches and Obituary Notices of Bishop England—Essays and Letters on In fallibility—on the Eucharist—on Intention— on lhe Publication of a Protestant Catechism— on Liberality—The Definition of Faith—St. Peter’s Roman Episcopate—Capel PoweF uF Dispensation—on the Origin of the Accent Ecclesiastical Privileges and ImmunitiesTor merly recognized by the Laws of England— Latter to Governor Troup on lhe Relation of the Papacy to the Feudal System—on the History and Doctrines of the Waldenses— Letters Concerning the Roman Chancery— Letters on Slavery—Historical Fragments— Explanations of the Mass and the various utensils, ornaments, and ceremonies connect ed with it—Ceremonies of the Holy Week and Easter Sunday at Romo—Report to the Archbishop of Baltimore on tho Miraculous Cure of Mrs. Mattingly—The Republic in Danger: Letters to the candid ai d unpreju diced American People—Letters from Rome.— On Certain Superstitions Imputed to Catholics —Discourse before the Congress of the Uni ted States; delivered in tho Hall of the House of Representatives, Jan.

These are among the contents of the works before us, but the mere enumeration of them ean give no conception of the intellectual Pn er gy an d aloquence of style, which they so richly display. Tc BSS Jhose the work must be read. We had the pleasure of hearing the orat on pronounced before the societies at 44)008. It was justly esteemed one of the most eieyaut apfj efforts ever listen ed to, spoken too a* it was, with ail th# ortjifit cal grace, fervor and power lor which Bishop jPngland was remarkable. The Leßerj PI) Slavery are a complete and unanswerable vindication of 11)4 upon scrfpfttfKr irufflßrtTT. - The -ConGewy on the Roman Chancery, between the Bishop and l) r Fuller, an eminent Baptist Divine, is yet fresh in the memory of ffigny who read their letters with excited interest, at the time ' of their publication. Those who became acquainted with Bishop England were struck with his amenity of man ners, the beauty and richneaa of his conversa tion, and the prevailing goodnes; qf his heart. We close our remarks with the following which we copy from lhe Charleston Courier. The allusion is to the controversy above re ferred to on the Roman Qlijncery. An incident of exceedingly touching charac- ( ter and interest, and beautifully illustrative of the subduing and reconciling effect of death, 1 aqd eyet) of that of a polemic adversary, oc- ’ curred after the depeqpe sis Bishop England, | in connexion with this controversy. Jt is thus elegantly chronicled by A. G. Magrath, ' Esq., in his chaste and beautiful tribute to tbe nemory of the distinguished prelate, before, ' aqfi pp behalf of the Hibernian Society of this city i “In tbe many controversies in which be was engaged, be has perhaps left no antagonist entertaining unkind feelings. Always bent on truth, he needed not the poisoned weapon of qbyse or invective. Rich in the learning of his Church, his Ulepts. hja urbanity, his liberality, gave, to all his discussions, a charac ter the most edifying and dignified. Religion, with him, was not a terror, but an affection. He won his way to the heart, as the Minister of God, by the unobtrusive simplicity of his feeling—the unaffected goodness of hi* fiearf. And so patient, so uncomplaining, so persever ing was he in the doing of good, by the estab lishment of his Church, that privations, now scarcely freijible, were cheerfully undergone, in order that he w<g|',t the belief effect the grand object of bis mission to the new world. To qualities so striking and rare, there could not fail to be paid the tribute of admiration— of respect. To such nobility of heart, kindred genproaijy jyould pay its homage, even if a difference existed.'

There was the victory of death—there ' tbe triumph of God’s will. And he, who gated npon that body, had now eome to change the excitement of contest for the meditation of . death. In that coffin was written the awful f commentary of a superior power, and the ] burning tear that coursed down the eheek of . I him who yet survived, was the most beautiful and affecting tribute from the generosity of j tbe living, to tbe merit and excellence of tbe dead.” The work is for sale at Mr. Joseph Carrie's '. and Mr. Thomas Richards. Tuas as Asylum.—Governor Wood, of Texas, has made a rule not to deliver fugitive oriminals in compliance with the requisitions of the Governors of other States, where the crime was committed previous to the annexa tion of Texas to the Union. We trust, that when Canada sues for an nexation, that a special provision will be made for the delivery of the thousands of fugitive slaves who have migrated thither. —[Caroli- nian. j GEORGIA LEGISLATURE. [From lhe Constitutionalist.] In Senate, Thursday, Nov. 15, 1819. The Senate met pursuant to adjournment. I Mr. Chisolm reported A Bill to authorize the entering of Appeals from the Justices to lhe Superior Courts, in the different counties in this Slate,aud to regulate the proceedings thereon. Mr. Woods reported A Bill to lay off a new Judicial Circuit in this Stale, to be composed of the counties of Cobb, Cherokee, Forsyth, Lumpkin, Gilmer, Union and Rabun, and to fix the time of holding the Superior Courts in ; he several counties thereof. A number of Bills were read a second time ' and referred ; most of them to a Committee of lhe Whole. The following message was received from the Executive, by Col. Smith, Secretary. Executive Department, ) Milledgeville, Nov. 13, 1849. ( I have the honor to atate in answer to the Senate’s resolution of the J Oth inst. requesting me to communicate, at an early day, whether the military claims of the State upon the Gen eral Government have been settled, or what progress has been made in the same, that no money has been received from this source for the last two years. The original amount of the claims, as gathered from the evidence in this Department, was $243,309 66—upon which payments were made in the years 1842, 1843, and 1844, to the aggregate aunt of $113,203 35 and $17,494, in 1847, leaving $112,612 22, now due. The length of time that has elapaed since this advance by [Georgia was made, and tho deity of justice on the part of the general Government, would seem to justify a resort to some other mode than has been heretofore pur sued, in pressing the subject on the attention of the authorities at Washington. It is to be feared, under lhe stringent rules adopted in the investigation of these claims, the lapse of time and other causes, that legisla tion by Congress may be found necessary— in which event it would be desirable that the State have an agent in Washington, to prepare lhe claims for the action of Congress. —— -GEO. VV. Mr. Stell laid on the table Resolutions, which, on motion, were referred to the Committee on the state of the Repub lic, and fifty copies ordered to be printed for the use of the Senate. 1. Be it Resolved, Sic.. That the principles of the Revenue Tariff, of 1846, and the consti tutional Treasuty, receive the cordial support of the people of this State, and that any attempt on the part of Congress to substitute for lhe former the protective policy, or for lhe latter a National Bank, will encounter their untiring hostility. 2. Resolved, That any legislation by Con gress on lhe subject of slavery, which has for its object the prohibition thereof, in any terri tory which now belongs to, or may be here after acquired by the Federal Government, or any other subject which has the effect to de grade any one or more of t|;e States or destroy the equality that exists between them> sod their respective citizens, is violative of the spirit of our Constitution, destructive to the rights of the Slates, and will be met by the determined resistance of the people of Geor gia. 3. Resolved, That the present Chief Magis trate of these United States, went into office with the professions of moderation lingering upon his lips, and wjtj) )l;e potent declarations that “ lie had tio party prpjectstp l)uil(l up"— no “friends to reward nor onpnfic 4 to punish,” and that in no “ case could he permit himself to be the candidate of any parly, or yield him sell to party schemes”—that all such pro fessions and declarations have been falsified by hie selection of an ultra party Cabinet, and by a proscription whose ferocity ia as appalling to the people as it is disgraceful to its authors. And that in relation to the appointing power, he did moat solemnly proclaim that the only prerequisites to office should be “ honesty, capacity and fidelity,” and yet ill the pjercise of that power in this Slate, the present Federal administration has, in its indiscriminate butch ery, sacrificed men whose lives are above re proach, and whose only crime was the exer cise of the right of private opinion, “a right inestimable to freemen, and formidable to ty rants oriljM f The Resolutions offered by Mr. Clayton on Monday, were also referred to the Committee on the state of the Republic. The Senate then adjourned till ten o’clock to-morrow mm.imfj,. ' [Editorial Correspondence.] Milledgeville, Nov. 16. The resolution to bring on the election of Btkte mW uffiCTHi,' W-e:; wan tiie House yesterday morning and passed. A spi rited debate arose on an amendment to it which pronosed to strike out State Printer, with a piety so the passage of a |aw giylllg the public printing to the lowest bidder- Mr. Wiggin* opposed tho amendment, and insisted upon electing the Printer now, and then reducing his salary and lessening the (quantity of printing. Judge Jone* said, that uoiwHnstfeifdjpg the great improvements that had been recently made in the facilities of printing, that our pub lic printing cost more, under the present law, than it did year* ago, when It was given to the lowest bidder. Furthermore, he said, he was opposed to giving elections of any kind to the Legislature—he would have that body a purely Tegislntiye q;;e. / t t;d tit? a)so tyaj ip fa vor of the amendment because combinations, he said, controlled it as it was, and that more money was given to suppress c mpetition than the printing really ought to cost. Mr, Sljapkelford said he should vote to put the printing out to the lowest bidder, because he had learned of one instance in which seven teen hundred dollars had been actually paid lo keep down competition. Mr. McDougald wanted the public treasury guarded with fidelity. Enormous amounts, he said, had been paid for public printing that were, in fact, mere donations. It was a prodi gal waste ot tbe people's fftoqey tq gay ten thousand dollars for printing, if it could bo done for half that amount. Mr. Wiggins read the law, and asked, even 1 jf cojnbinqtions existed, how could they affect the treasury, when ths ’amount to be paid was specified. Mr. Reynolds did not want the election to come on now, but was anxious to have a bill inlrpdfiPptl on the subject, and referred to a committee, and thoroughly investigated and . considered- Mr. £enan WRUN lijte to know what pbjee- i tion there could be to electing the printer now, | and then reducirg his salary. Fie held the pniitiir in railgnmit.; and said it already had been done ip similar instances. Mr, Th.C'H?***'? o would vote, he said, for the amendment, with a special regard to the inter, ests of the treasury. He would carry the thing farther, and have the dear people know how much qf (.heir tqoney wap squandered in yes terday’s frolic. (The Legislature adjourned yesterday to attend the commencement of the Oglethorpe University.) He was fpr holding night sessions, and working faithfully ail the time- Mr. McDougald said if this Legislature only required corporal labor, it would do well enough to have night sessions. The Chero kee Indians, though, did not legislate in that way. The Parliament of Great Britain Mt altogether in the night, but it was because their deeds were evil. Mr. Jones called Mr. McD. to order. Mr. McDougald said he knew he was out of order, but he was not alone in that, and be felt he bad the same right to play truant that any of . them had. The vote was then taken on the amendment, and it was T3li. Perhaps it is well. Combina tions might qontrol the elections so as to af fect the treasury, if it was given to tho lownst bidder. They cannot as lhe law stands, and if they are paid too much now, that is an evil easy to remedy. d. P. B.—We had a “ big talk ” on the floor of the House, yesterday, on the subject of slavery. I’ll endeavor to give you a sketch of it to-morrow. “ Metamora was there, and talked to his tribo about tho Great Spirit and the pale faces.” d. [Editorial Correspondence.] Milledgeville, Nov. 17. The most animated discussion we have yet had in the House was elicited by the third reading of Judge Jones's bill to repeal all laws interdicting the importation of slaves into Georgia for sale. In a former letter I gave you the points of several gentlemen at lhe openiii* ol the debate. On Saturday the in vestigation of the matter was resumed, and for an hour tn the forenoon, and three in the after noon, U|f discussion toak a wide range. Messrs. Jenkins, Kenan, Stephens and Wor rill oppoibd il. Messrs. Jones, Ramsey, Gar trell, Lajvton, McDougald, Howard, Thomas son and Robinson supported it. I will lot undertake Io report the efforts of these gentlemen, but as their names must hereafter be often the subject of allusion, I will endqgvor to give you some idea of the new mcmbMg, or the younger speakers, who are now aIM( to enter upon the stage of public life, destined to control our country’s no distant day. In the P. S. to my lastjbtter, an allusion was made indirectly to one. gentleman, who was neither a new tnembcXnor a young man. That allusion may tmUie understood abroad. Howeveruni versadjjt may be known and fth who“Meta rnora’yM^jMexplanation is doe to those ; The. ««>»<■- to designate Ktf)St way, as the leader of ihe debate, fs not complimented by such a distinction, albeit that much may be said without atty disparagement whatever, of the ability tiiat shone in tho debate. “He hath a daily beauty in his life,” that en twines about him, lhe parent affections of lhe human heart. "Half all men’s hearts are his,” Georgia, fruitful as ahe is of genius, and of virtue, holds few mi n beloved like him. When his bell tones ring through the house, the speaker has no use for his maee. Atten tion is in fetters. Upon thia occasion, he held the house in breathless admiration, while he was thundering against a popular measure.— He warned them of the evils that m u<t result from (training and exhausting the border slave Stalos of their slave resources. He told them to beware, how they increased lhe negre po pulation here at the expense of slave States further north.

The elections by lhe Legislature terminated at 13 M. to day, and the following is tho re sult: Mr. G. VV. Harrison, dem., of Randolph, •was elected Secretary of State, on the eighth balloting ; receiving 125 votes. Mr. Win B. Tinsley, whi , was re-elected Slate Treasurer. Mr. J. R. Butt was elected Surveyor Gen eral; and Mr. Candler, of Carroll, Cornptrolle: General. Mr. S. Ray, of the Macon Telegraph, was elected State Printer; receiving 96 voles. Our fellow citizen, Col. Gardner, received fifty. Mr. John Boston, of Chatham, was elected Director of the State Bank. Titaddcus G. Sturgis (sun of Judge Sturgis, of Columbus.) was elected Solicitor General of lhe Southern Circuit, 't be contest was vary dose between him and Mr. Jourdon, of Pulaski. Every stage that leaves now is full of pas sengers. The elections are over, and I think we’ll have a more quiet and pleasant time. In the House we have a Speaker who presides with dignity and ability. He has not had much of an opportunity yet to exhibit his business capacity, but I am inclined to think dispatch will bo his motto. The Officers of the House arc pleasant and efficient gentlemen. Mr. Harrison, the Clerk, and his assistants, give universal satisfaction. In lhe Senate, the pre siding Officer is no stranger to his official du ties. The Secretary, Mr. Glenn, isone of the must active, ready, and excellent officers we aver saw. The ci'y is not at all crowded with strangers now. Tho Supreme Court will adjourn on Tuesday. d. WWe eopy tho following aemarks from the Macon Journal &. Messenger, on lhe sub ject of Measca. Gartrell’s and Clayton’s roso -1 at on*: Milledgeville. Nov. 12th, 1849. Gentlemen: —The leading feature in the proceedings of the Legislature this morning, was the simultaneous introduction in each branch of a series of strung and pointed resolu tions, on the subject of slavery. They were reported by Mr. Clayton of Clarke, in the Senate, and Mr. Gartrell of Wilkes in the House. They are not harsh or violent in their language, but very deicnnined and manly in their tone. They plant lhe Stale es Georgia upon lhe eoiistiiutioiuil question, and solemnly declare, that the present sys tem of encroachment upon the Constitu tion and the rights of l||p South, is unjust, uncmtatityihmal und intolerable; and that if persisted in, itia the immediate and imperative duly of the people nf Georgia, to meet in con vention, to consult upon the mode and measure of redress. They proclaim our devotion to the Union, and yet plainly intimate, that even lhe Union is not as dear to us as our honor and our rights. Surely no Southern rn a n ? a h object to the »pbsljinpe pf ihpse resolutions. The Proviso is either cpnslituliotial or unepn slitatiunal. If constitutiupal, then its adoption Iweapies a question pf power, and the Sopth has no remedy hut submission or revolution. |f unponstiintional,««alledgi'd in ihe*a resolu tion*, then lhe perakteuee of our Northern brethren in its passage, proves that they have no regard for their plighted faith, and none for the compact which resulted in the confederacy of the Slates. These reaolflljjjM jprpw the ptttire tespon siu|i|tj l|pon tjie people of the non-slavcbolding States. If they desire to perpetuate ih ß Pniop. they must (|esjsl ftom their pHtfeiU system of vnariatUhmenl—they must tteasc to press the Proviso for the avowed purpose of asser.ing their right to legislate upon tho question of slavery—they must abandon ah idea of inter fering with the institution itt ([ip S'ljcs— l*.‘V .W«*L fiUMillg law* in violation of the Constitution, the purpose and effect es which are to rob Southern men of their property. These resolutions take the true Southern groun^—they assume t|,e npsitittn which ah parties, Whigs and Democrats must occupy in the approaching crisis; and I hope to see them adopted without a dissenting voice in either branch of the Legislature. These are essentially Whig resolutions, introduced by Whigs, and if they are voted ddwlp ifie t)emoc racy Vill have to tpeet the responsibility. We copy the following on tpe milled of the eleption of Judges by the people, from the edi torial correspondence of tho Macon Journal & Messenger: “The proposition to cleet Judges by the peo ple is evidently gaining in public estimation. No one who witnesses the electioneering tricks of the aspirants—the corru- lion atid l[;p open bargajp i| ( e s e elections bbfofp the Leglslatqre give rise to, cun doubt the propriety of some change. Men come here and are forced for political purposes, up on the bench o' thp Court,’who are actually unlit to fill the office of justice of the Peace. If the elections were given to the peo ple, the ignorance and incapacity q| ;|iese as pirants could it is thought, lie exposed by the public press ; and as the field would be greatly enlarged, they could n<>t so renfitly qpprqacn or corrupt the elections, [n the Legislature, thp ohfiipe of a Judge is often determined by some other election. Open or secret bargains are made, and votes are traded just as jockeys trade horses, both parlies being often most egregiously cheated. This hqs A 1 l e A* k been thp cqsa in pftsl year*. | dp not say that it is so with the present Legislature ; for that might entitle me to a seat in the Lobby. Human nature however, is the sp.me ill Al ages, and alihofigh we p>«y haye a very pure set of Le gislators now, we have no assurance that we shall be so lucky in future years. The Legis lator* have motives to encourage these bar gains. The people will have no object but to secure the service* of competent and honest man, ipeu to whose gaardiapsiiip they pan trust their fortunes, ifieir lives, and their honor.— They are interested in making a good choice, and may therefore, disregard parly considera tions, wheryja, fit* politician* never will, be cause their very existence depend* upon the support of the m*n who have supported them. Owing to theae snd oilier considerations, I say, thuru t* a change now going on in public sentiment here, and many of the oldest, and wisest and purest men are disposed to favor the passage of Mr. McDougald’s Bill, or some kindred measure. There is no provision either iu ||;o popstit(i(io;t or by |a w fftr the elec tion of Judges Uy the Legislature, and many contend that it is an usurpation of power which firoperly belongs tp the people, mid tfiql it tend* o bland the judicial ano executive department eentrary to tne spirit and genius of our free institutions. Yours, &c, C. By Telegraph to the Charloaton Courier. New Orleans, Nov. 16. Thurible Steamboat Explosion.—A ter rible steamboat explosion took place last even ing. The steamer Louisiana, when about starting, burst her boiler, shattering the steam ers Storm and Bostonia, lying alongside. The Louisiana was crowded with passengers, and so was the Storm, which had just arrived.— More than fifty dead bodies have already been found. The number of deaths from this aw ful calamity is estimated at 150! The levee, after the accident was strewn with dead bodies and arms and legs. It was indeed a terrible acene. It ia impossible to ascertain the num ber of lives lost, [By Telegraph for the Charleston Mercury.] New Orleans, Nov. 17. Capt. Kennon, of the steamboat Louisiana, has been arrested and put under bail of SBOOO. The explosion is attributed to the carelessness ■ of the Engineer, and the matter will be sub jected to a searching investigation. Several I more dead bodies have been found, and it is thought the entire number destroyed will not fall short of two hundred. The flags of our shipping are at half mast. The Mies of cotton yesterday amounted to 6000 bales, at previous prices. Middling 10|. The receipts of the week amount to 57,000 bales, and the stock on hand is 19,000 bales less than at tho same period last year. The intelligence by the America was re ceived last night. The brig Isabella Reed, cleared yesterday for Charleston. New Orleans, Nov. 18. The sales of Cotton yestenfay were confin ed to a few small lots at} decline, nnd the mar ket is still unsettled.

The America left Liverpool on the 3d., and brings dates from Loudon to the 2d. and Paris to the Ist. She brings 82 passengers. ENGLAND. The English press devotes much space to the consideration of the Canadian annexa tion address. The London Times says, by whomsoever proposed or concocted, it reflects great credit upon the tact, skill, and adroitness of its author. In speuking of the annexa tion of Canada to the United States, the Times says, that the conduct of lhe people will be directed by motives of the prudence and interest alone if they think they can do without Canada. Then and there only will they give up Canada. They will not eede those harbors which must ever command the mouth cf the St. and protect the trade of the Atlantic. FRANCE. The French Ministry has resigned or been dismissed, because of their disinclination to sustain the views embodied in the President’s letter to M. Ney, relating to the affairs of Rome. Great excitement existed in Paris in conse quence, but the President wns firm and has written a letter to the Assembly which the London Times characterizes as imprudent but spirited. He has formed a new Cabinet, whish wholly represents the views of the President j and a majority of the .Yssembly. M. Thiers, M. Mole, and Gen. Chnngarmer, support the new ministry, but have too much prudence, it is said, to join it.

Lamoriciere to the Minister of Foreign Affairs: "St. Petersburg,Oci. 18, 1849. “Count Nesselrode notified the Ottoman Envoy yesterday, that the Emperor, taking in to consideration the letter of the Sultan, con fined himself to a demand that the Hungarian and Polish refugees should be expelled from Turkey.” Read Effendi regards the alfliir as settled. Gen. Lamoriciere is to be recalled from Russia and giveu an important post, ROME, Assassinations of the French soldiers con tinued at the latest dates. It is expected that the Pope will return soon and that the French army will leave immedi ately. Great hostility was still maintained toward* the Pope. A correspondent of the London Times says that if the Pope returns to Rome it must be under the protection of foreign bayonets. AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY. The fiends who qre nicknamed rulers in Austria, not satisfied with the human blood they have shed, still continue their sanguinary career. The wretch Haynau has been appoin ted civil and military governor of Hungary. A circular of Kossuth’s is circulating in Pesth in which he assures countrymen that he has rpmoyetj the crown of St. Stephen solely to render the coronation of u Httpshur ger impossible. turkey. There Is nothing of special interest from Turkey. The Polish and Hungarian refu gees have been provided with new quarters. Kossulh and the leaders remain at Widden un til measures are taken for the ultimate libera tion. Rir Stratford Canning has sent passports to Gen. Guyon, the Irish Hungarian officer, and other British subjects who had been in the ser vice of Hungary. SFAIK. The new American minister has formally presented himself, and with much tact and »kill declaimed, in the name of his President, the doings of the party who proposed to seize upon Cuba.
