But England, owes ber present degrada

was sewn by herself ia 1703 and 1815.
From the moment that the French people,
towards tbe close ef the last century, de
clared themselves in favor of republicanism,
Kugi&nl determined, by force of arms, to
thrust monarchy back upon tbi in. This
w-s tbs policy of litt, and subsequently
of Castlcrcagh ; and it was a p"licy per

time, almost of despair. To carry out this
policy the peace of Amiens was broken. To
carry out, this toIicv tba recognition of
JTapoltan, as Emperor was rffu.-ed. To
cany out this policy successive coalitions
were made with various continental powers
to overthrow Bonaparte and restore the
imbecile liourloua. To carry ont this
policy five hundred millions pounds ster
ling of debt were assumed. To carry out
this policy a wt.r was risked with this
republic ; an alliance was formed with
IJiitaia's ancient eneiiy of Spain ; tbe
rpecie payments of the Rank of En:laud
were flagitiously suspended ; Briton were

vigor of ber strength ; and it is mem thau
questionable, indeed, whether her vitality
is not irrevocably impaired. But surely,

people, she secured the lasting amity of
the dynasties whom her subsidies upheld,

and to banuh liberty from Europe, now

way, the jeer of the Jezebels who made
her once their tool ; and now would make
her their victim.
We know that tbe boundless ambition
of Napoleon has ever been given, as the
cau of the continued hostility of England
to France, from 17D2 to 1815. But the
war was Ixgun by Pitt before Napoleon
came opun the stage. Tbe treaty of Ami
ent, negotiated by Pitt's successor, was
broken principally through the same infln
once. The troth is, th&t the English
aristocracv could not endure to tee a
parvenu, a new man, a Corsioan adventur
er, as they called him, ocoupvinz the
throne of St. Louis and assailing legitima
cy and pride of birth. They adroitly
in&amed the English people, by awakening
the national jealousy against France, for
cccupying s she then did, a position
more influential than that of Great Britain.
As the war progressed, it deepened into a
Jifb and Jeath struggle, and the fall of
Napoleon, or the disgrace of England,
bocame inevitable. But this dilemma was
not of the Emperor's seeking. It was
foroed oi him by the British aristocracy.
There is no doabt whatever that, up to the
battle of Austcrlitr, if net to an even later
priod, Napoleon woal J hive been glad to
c-ultitato peace with England, and tbat he
was cr.ly prevented from this by Ler arro

the former goes into the midst of the fam

where it can at all times be referred to,

Whether this be bread, beef. Dotato. or
eab&aee, it is certain tbat it is always
important to have good bread. It is more i
than twenty years smoe tne Dreaa reiorm
has been among the topics of agitation in :
this city ; yet probably at tnis uay no. one
in twenty of our people can Sh j
article 01 Dreaa, or Between goon nuu your
flour. Graham flour or wheat-meal is very
, seldom ground as it should be at any ef i
j the mills. Instead of being cut into Una j
particle,, the bran is scaled or mashed off
in flakes; and the oousequence is that, ;
i ' .. .. ' 1
I when yeast or fermented bread is made or
. . - i jlm
it, the finer particles are over-fermented
while the coarser are not fermented suffi
ciently. This destroys, in a great degree,
the flavor as well as the healthfulness of
the article ; bosides rendering the loaf dry,
bard, and rough. The difficulty is still
greater in making oakes of auy kind, cr
pie-crust.
A new articie of flour has lately appear
ed in this market from the "Arcade Mills"
of L. A. Spaulding, Eq., Lockport,
Niagara Co., New York. We have tes
ted it in various ways and find it excellent.
It supplies the desideratum of having the
j branny portion finely comminuted. A
small portion of the outer bran is rejected,
but the gluten, which exists most abnn
dantly in the inner portions of the bran or
outer particles of flour, is retained, which
is an important consideration when any
separation of tho proximate constituents
of the grain is made. Those who are not
thoroughly experienced in bread-making
will be able to manage this floor much better
than they ean the common article of
Graham flour, for the reason that it fer
ments more evenly and uniformly ; while
for making oakes and pies it will bo much
more tender and need much less shortening
of any kind than the ordinary flour pr o
vided shortening is used at all.
Tbe wheat from which the Arcade Mills
manufactures this flour wc know to be a
superior quality of "white Eint," extensive
ly known as '-Genesee wheat; " and
among all (he rich wheat-growing counties
of Western New York, none produces a
better article than Niagara. We find a
pleasure in commending this article to the
patronage of Water-Curs establishments,
and to ths public generally. It may be
had in this city of N.H. Wolfe, 17 South
street ; and in Boston of L. D. Gardiner &

The following reply was mads by
Kossuth at Tittsburg, in answer to a com
mittee inviting him to Cleaveland, Ohio :

Corrwpoodfnw of th Lf wlbu Chronkla.
Hariusburo, Feb. (5, 1852.
In conformity with your wisiii'3, 1 have
concluded to send you an occasional letter
while I remain in town The small pox
ragos violeutly in this region, and that
is all I can give you of general news.
Both branches of the Legislature are
slow in getting under way. The reason
is, that the members employ themselves in
labors not strictly belongiuj lo legislation.
January has exhibited three grand scenes
here. Scene I. wa Kossuth. Nobody
talked or thouirht or dreamed of anything
but the great Hungarian, for the space of
nine days and nine nights ; but tha affair
now lu.jers upon th m:ud only as a
dream that is l-ajt. There is one thing
about it, however, which reminds us tha',
'twas not nil a drani namely, the plump
bills that come in to be footed by tho
State. .Kossuth is a good aud great man,
yet I can nut but tbiuk his project of rai
eing money by voluntary subscriptions,
will bo a process o slow that neither you
nor I will ever bear of tbo Hungarian
army equipped by " American substantial
aid." Intervention resolutions are before
the Senate, but mark iny word after all
the gassing and shakius of fists at Russia,
the resolutions will be of th fast-and-loose
order, so as to bear auy construction
that may be placed upon them hereafter.
Scene II. was the Inauguration of Gov.
Bigler, but as that was on the regular pro
gramme, it caused but little excitement
except to the numbers who were delayed
by the snow storm and didn't reach here
until the performance was closed ! May
ths incumbent be as faithful to the inter
ests of the Commonwealth as bis prede
cessor, and shs will have her honor well
sustained.
Scene III. opened npnn what bas clas
sically been termed " the battle of the an
imals" practically, the triennial division
of the spoils, whioh was the most interest
ing part of the play a blending of the
critical, comical, and farcical, but closing
deodedly tragically. A more good hu
mored, happy, Biuiliug set of fellows was
haver assembled thau that disclose 1 on
the first rising of the Executive curtain.
It was evident that all were determined to
have a jolly time of it. Unfortunately,
there was not a sufticiout number of front
seats to accomodate all the guests. As
soou as that discovery was made, a general
scramble ensued, in which many "airyj
;uea were dciniiisiiecuo tne consterna
tion of the buil Jeri. Mmy of the audi
enco exhibited a kind oi pou-::g'.:r, saiu
to be useful in penetrating fi-jur lxrrh,
and a gentleman from Bucks county hav
ing his in the best trim, was declared en
titled to the Crit seat. As soon as this
announcement was made, tha crowd turned
their attention to what I thought looked
like bobbing ; this was done by suspend
ing a glass tube cr phial by a siring, and
throwing it out much as you have seen
sailors "heave the lead," only in this
case it was necessary to hit tho luny luik,
(by the way a rather difficult task.) Af
ter a lengthy contest, a gentleman from
"old Union" was adjudged to be most
expert, and of course mounted tbe barrel,
looking " spoons" at his chop fallen com
petitors. Most doleful countenances were
now exhibited, and curses loud and deep
arose, when the curtain dropped, and hid
the actors from my view. How many
more parts there are in the play I have
not learned, but f hill keep an eye upon
it. As a tax-payer, I 1 avc a right to do
so, for in the end the people pay the fid
dlers, and too often the Members of tho
Legislature join the scramble as paitners
or hat-bolJers, and thus is Legislative bu
siness three weeks behind its proper time.
In the Legislature, the Democracy bills
fair to get down so meekly and humbly to
the
the blave powr, that iue "National
Whigs" doull whether they can fall so
low, even with the weight of the " god-like
Daniel'' upon them (may the poor "Na
tionals soon retrace their steps, and repent
in sackcloth and ashes for their now un-
thauked for treachery in the late campaign.)
It is evident from the action of the Senate
aud in the House coupled with the recent
pardon of the notorious kidnapper, Alberti,
by Gov. Bigler that our County Jails
are to be opened wide to any fiend in human
shape who for " thirty pieces of silver"
will incarcerate men and women whose
only cri"ie is that they love liberty 1 We
have strained our throats (and given our
dollars) in shouting " Liberty and Free
dom" for Hungary in the overflowing
of tbe milk of human kindness, we demand
of Great Britain the release of the exiled
Irish patriots ; (in both whioh cases, we go
for the " higher law" of Liberty against
Legalized Power;) and in the same
breath, when men or women in our own
country, smarting under tbo iron rod of
Oppression, with hearts large enough fo
throb for that freedom which is " tho
inaltcsable right of all men" everywhere,
are fleeing from bondage, we ston them in
their flight, gratuitously build prisons in
which to thrust them, and turn npon them
bars and bolts which should close upon
felons and felon only ! Away with your
inconsistent lauding of the lufrJcl Turk
for protecting fugitives from leg! servi
tude from the bloody clutches of Haynau,
while you professed Christians Tolunteer
to lay your free and holy bands upon your
brother church-members and drag them
back info a bondage worse than Hungary
ever knew ! From what I have heard from
honorable and high-minded Southerners,
I kntiw that they all (oxeeptiogyoirf South
Carolina amalgamator or women-whipper)
oujjise euca craven, cringing sycopnancy,
oowevcr mucu iney uemana it.
But it is not only designed to make our
County Jails, slave barracoons, but also tff
re-enact an old law allowing slave-owners
to bring their slave into this State, and
