The Corn Trade in France. 'rho following portion of an article, al. though written for a French paper, will be found worthy of consideration in all countries where the best Government is really sought. 'e translate it from the Paris Presse. in which it appeared over the signature of Erdan." Commerce in grain ought to be absolute ly free. Such is the conclusion which is indicated by the experience of all nations and all ages, as is proved by the following exposition : 1. ANCIENT TIMES.—TIie Roman world, to speak properly, never experienced fam ine. In the history of the empire only two instances of scarcity are referred to.; one in the year 272 of the Christian era, which was confined to Great Britain, and the other which afflicted Constantinople, in 446. • To what is this difference between mod ern Europe, which has suffered so much from famine, and the same quarter of the globe in ancient times, when it scarcely suf fered at all from it, to he attributed ? It is to the fact that in ancient times there were no barriers raised between different countries. The market, under the supreme Government of Rome, comprised nearly the whole known world. From the borders of the Euxine Sea to Spain, from the Straits of Gibraltar to Egypt there Was a fusion of interests—a commer cial union. When wheat was wanted in Sicily, in Illyria, in Gaut, it came from the shores of the Black Sea, arid from the bor ders of the Red Sea.. When any one coun try was deficient; till the others supplied it. Famine is of modern creation, because 'modern Europe was fcudalized, while the old Europe of the Romans was centralized ; because we are the descendants of those bar barians who allowed thorns and brambles to cover those fine Roman ways, with which the unity of the world disappeared. 11. MflonLE AGES.—Feudalism is divi sion. On all sides it erects barriers ; tats it imposes everywhere. Everywhere and completely it absurdly restricts the market. Add to this, it maintains general ignorance. FL;rtilizers were wanted, and peo4le did not know hoW to avail themselves of those they possessed. These are the causes which in the middle ages gave to famine a permanent establishment. But without any dOUbt, the cause which operated most powerfully was the utter ab sence of all those resources which spread the powerful passion of liberty among na tions. The unfortunate serfs attached to the soil, who sold nothing abroad, who bought nothing, and who lived as they best might from the produce of the farm, could not dream of multip:ying the means of subsist ence. Why should they ? if they produ ced more, they would have to give more to the lord, to pay more taxes, to sweat larger drops for taxation. And so what horrible times ! how many generations during them were destroyed by hunger. Under Charlemagne, there were four fam ines: in 776, in 779, in 793, and in 794. It was worse under his successors. The scourge raged in a cruel manner for the space of ten years, in the period comprised between 841 and 870. The people were reduced in certain provinces to feed on a sort of chat' mixed with a small portion or flour. But even as late as this time, there re mained some feeble glimmer of Roman light. In the tenth and eleventh centuries the dark ness and isolation became complete, and misery reached its dreariest height. A con temporary writer, Life monk Raoul Glaber, (the same who speaks of the springing up of cathedrals, as it were, to cover the whole earth with a which dress robe.) reports that during seventy-three years, there were forty eight of them .narked by famines, which also carried epidemics hi their train. The follow. ing are his particulars : In 988, a great famine and a pestilence; 900494, famine and scourging fevers 1001, a great famine ; • 10011-1008, famine and mortality; 1009-1014, famine scourging fevers, and mortality ; 1027L1020, famine, (during which even human flesh was resorted to l) 1831-1033, a terrible famine ; 4035, a famine and an epidemic; • 1045-1016, a famine in France and Ger many; 1053-1058, a famine and mortality clueing the five years ; 1059:1066, a famine during the seven years, with mortality, &c., &c. . The same Raoul Glaber reports that wheat rose to 60 sole (rmr the maid. In some markets, human flesh was publicly expo sed for sale; emaciated creatures, dying of hunger went on the highways in pursuit of travelers, to devour them .in a horrible can nibal feast. The flesh of children was what they most highly prized. Others, still res pecting human life, like so many hyaenas exhumed fresh corpses that had just been interred, and devoured them. It was so seriously feared that the land would be utterly unpeopled, that in older to preserve some few to cultivate it, certain monks, renouncing the task of succoring the weak and dying, chose some robust men to whom they distributed, ns far as possible, a daily ration at the doors of tho religious houses. In these frightful circumstances, those acts of sublime devotion which at all epochs, even the darkest, honor humanity, were of ten seen displayed. The strong, the robust who had received their poor pittance, car ried it to children and women, perferring to die themselves rather than leave the beloved beings to suffer. Thus death cut down all and in such wide sweeps that the affrighted world believed that it was fulling beneath the strokes of the examination angel. It was known, indeed, that to all these calamities there were added supersitious ter rors, excited by the most enlightened men of that afflicted epoth. As the evil was redou bled towards the latter, years cf the tenth century, : the end of the Aircirld was expected for the year 1000. The: year.looo passed and the misery contitmed , as.great as ever. Two uphappy getiezatt,jo k • icidced, none either could or would make under stand that what was soon about to be heard was not the trump of the angel, but the voice of science, preparing fur the union of peo ples, the responsibility of chiefs, and liberty of action for the governed. If, in the centuries which succeeded the eleventh, famines were not so terrible as they had been, they were not less frequent. War with the English, and civil discords, reduced France, to a desperate condition.— The details of the famine of 1420 make one shudder. Flocks of famished wolves, find ing nothing to eat in the country, came and devoured dead and living beings in the out skirts of the cities, as far as Paris. Thus passed the nine or ten centuries of the middle ages. There were, of course, years of fertility ; but even in such years Fiance produced but little. There was no stimulus to production; grain could not cir culate even from one province to another, sometimes even from one canton to a neigh boring one, without paying duties of all sorts. The cultivator had scarcely any in terest in producing much ; no improvements were resorted to. Choice portions of land were cultivated as they were found. Eve ry one by himself ; every one for himself ; this was all that was known in point of so cial economy. In affairs of religion and chi valry we find a certain elevation of senti ment, but in a material point of view the time was ignorant beyond expression. Until the reign of [leery IV., then, France, notwithstanding crops often super , abundant for interior requirements, was mis erably poor, giving nothing to her neighbors in time of plenty, receiving nothing from them in time of scarcity—unfortunate in the full acceptation of the word. The writer then proceeds to review the systems of Sully and Colbert, and deduces a powerful argument in favor of unrestrict ed free trade in corn. The Revolution in Sonora. Intelligence has been received, by way of San Francisco, of the operations of the Fillibusters who set out (or Sonora, but land ed in Lower California, and set up an inde pendent government. The following is the official account of the whole affair : HEAn Qt.unTrns OF TIIF. RF.PUBLIC or CALIFITIINIA.Nov. 7th, 1853. Rrport iy the Independence of Lower Culifornin.—On the morning of the 17th of October, we sailed with the first Indepen dent liatallion for Lower California. The command consisting of forty-fire men, our voyage was a prosperous one to Cape St. Lucas. We landed on the 28th October ; there we gained some information of import ance, and proceeded on our way to La I'az. On the lld day of November, our vessel cast anchor opposite the town. A party ties ordered by Cul. Walker to land, take possession of the town, and secure the per son of the Governor—Lieut. Gillman com manding the party. In less than thirty minutes the town was taken and the Cover noesecured. We hauled down the Mexi can flag in frc.n of the Governor's house, proclaimed the independence of Lower Cali fornia, and our independent flag floated tri umphantly, when, but a few moments before that of Mexico had waved in supposed secu rity. Our inen, provisions and munitions of war were landed, the town fortified, and Col: IValker entered upon Ins duties as Presi dent of the Republic of Lower California, issuing such decrees, as were most concre nial to the citizens, as well as to the securi ty and comfort of his command. Here we remained until Sunday, Nov. 6th, when the President determined to remove the seat of government to St. Lucas. In accordance with his determination we einbai keel, taking with us Ex-Covernor Espiruosa and the pub lic documents. Shortly after our embarka tion, a vessel carne into port, having on board Col. Rebollero, who was sent by th e govern ment of Mexico to supersede Ex-Governor Espiruosa. A small detachment was dis patched to bring Col. Rebollero on board the vessel. This order was promptly exe cuted. About an hour after this occurrence, a party was sent on shore to procure wood.— W hile in the act of returning to their boats, they were fired upon by a large party of cit izens; this commenced the first action.— This party consisted of but six•men, who re turned to the vessel under a heavy fire of musketry, without losing a man. Meantime fire was opened upon the town, with our ordnance, which was kept up until Col. Walker landed with thirty men, when the fight became general. Prom the time of landing until the close'of the action (a signal defeat of the enemy) vas about one and a half hours. The enemy's loss was six or seven killed, and several wounded. Our men did not so much as receive a wound, except from the Cactus, while pursuing the enemy through the chapparal in rear of the town. Thus ended the battle of La Paz, crowning our efforts with success, releasing Lower California from the tyranous yoke of Mexico, and securing the establishment of a new republic. The commercial resources, and the min eral and agricultural wealth of the Republic of Lower California, compare favorably with those of her sister Republics. Our men are all in fine health and spir its, and are as noble and determined a body as were ever collected together. The officers who composed the govern ment are as follows Williatn Walker, President of the Repub lic of Lower California. Frederick Emory, Secretary of State. John M. Jarnagin, Sec retary of War. Howard A. Snow, Secreta ry of Navy. HATARV—John Chaprn!in, Major of Bat talion. Charles H. Gilman, Ca plain of Bat talion. John :WKitther, Ist Lieutenant.— Timothy Crocker, 2d do. Samuel Ruland, 2d do. NAvAL—William T. Mann, Captain of Navy. A. Williams, Ist LieutCMunt, John Grandell, 2d do. Our government has been formed upon a sure and firm basis. The civil code and code of practice of Louisiana has been adopted for the rule of decision in our coarts, and as the civil law of the land. We urrind at Cape St. Lucas, Thursday, Nov. Bth. On the morning of the 9th, the Mexican cutter Geneva cruised off the Cape. Our appear ance was so formidable, she deemed pru dence the better part of valor, heeled to, arid gave us the slip. In the evening, our troops again embarked for Macdalena Bay, where the President contemplates establishing the seat of Government for the present. Flay vs. Gold. The Ohio Farmer, in commenting upon the letter of a California correspondent, makes some very sensible remarks about the mania which has possessed the people of this country to forsake the golden fields of their own State to dig in the "gold fields" of California, where they often gather more disappointment than produce. The Farmer says It has ever been our opinion that the ul timate prosperity of California, or any other State must be influenced more by its adap tation to agricultural pursuits than by any or all the gold mines that had ever been or may be found therein. There can be no sort of doubt but that the greatest source of wealth which California possesses is found in the rich valleys, table lands, and moun tain slopes so graphically described by Fre mont, and now so ably noticed by Mr. Kel ley. When these resources are developed, as they will be Very soon, the gold diggings and quartz rock will sink with comparative insignificance. Look at it. It is said that the yield of gold froin the California mines for the current year will reach the enormous stun of fifty-five or sixty millions of dollars ! An enormous sum truly ; and yet we ven ture to say that the value of the hay crop alone of the State of New York will fully equal it. Six counties of that State produ ced in 1850, 600,000 tons of hay, which, at $7 per ton, would be 65,600,000. This they do year after year, with a gradual in crease ; and yet how few are seen rushing to the meadows of Oneida, Jefferson, Chen ango,Delawa re, Chatauque,or St. Lawrance. The wheat and corn. fields of Ohio'pre duce annually more dollars than the gold mines of California. Yet theie is no noise made about it ; and instead of thousands rushing to them in the hope of vowing sud denly rich, thousands have been fleeing from them in search of gold—gold—gold. • We hazard nothing in saying that had the emigrants of California, since the dis covery of gold there, gone instead to the rich lands of our Western States, they could have produced double the amount of all the gold dug from the mines of that El Dorado. The capital necessary to place a man in working condition in the California mines would have settled him comfortable on an eighty acre lot in lowa, in a good cabin, with team, farming utensils, provisions, &C., and insured him, instead of a chance for a little gold, the certainty of an independent position for life, without the sacrifice of home friends, health, morals, and indeed all that men should esteem valuable in life. Taken Heaven, the "gold mania" is in its Mcayence, and the time is near when it will be seen and known that every ounce of gold dust dug from the California mines has cost twice its market value. Returning Chinor.—The clipper ship Gazelle, sailed from San Francisco for Hong King with 350 returning Chinese passengers. A large num ber of these Celestials were sent home by their countrymen here, having been unsuccessful in the mines. Some of the passengers, however areChineese who have accumulated a little money during their residence amongst us, and think they can enjoy it better in the flowery land than here. Under whatever circumstances they re turn, it is pretty certain that the stories they will tell of this great country will induce ten to cume over here for every one who goes back.—Allo California. Horsc Taken.— A valuable Horse was hired from IVlessur:Stifl and Levers of Bethlehem, on Thursday last, which has not yet been return ed, and is evidently a case of swindling.
