The landlords finding their tenants in Inch, a plight in 7 cafes out of ten, Confent to take back their leafes ; and thus we find in every quarterofthe kingdom farms to be fold or let. T he Dtuation of the country bankers is laid to be not lefs deplorable.

We cannot help admiring, and almost envvtnsc the feelinsrs of the American Contesat tins nioment. Then national pride exultingly triumphs over the humiliation of the Algerines and certainly the U. States have some reason to indulge a proud feeling on that occasion ; their cause was that of freedotn, asserting native rights against prescriptive outrage and their example is worthy of htmst imitated by the states of Europe, tho at the f ame time e cannot adnure the tennis of the treat v. The woild has too long endui'ed the tgnomity of A Igerine oppiession. The protection of national Hags is the prrmanent duty of every eounti y, v in such a quaiTcl we w ish lo tee tlie whole eneiw of tlie states exerted. The conciliatory measure which tic American president h&s proposed is of itself excellent thai American n avocation hould be confined to American seamen." But the solution of the principal question, what constitutes an American seamea mvi -nng that of naturalization, the right of so ercignty, and the power of transferring allegiance, v. i'l still continue in original uncertainty. We sincerely hope thai it w ill be w ry long before the necessity of discussing ihc nucstion be again felt. THE BANK. The bill to estal 1 a Rational Bank has at length (uiaUy passed the house of representatives) b a majority of nine votes.

What will be its late in the senate, we do not undertake to say. It can hardly be expected to be as cordially received in that body as the bill from the house of representatives respecting the compensation of the Members of Conresss which bill finally passed the Senate yesterday by a vote of 21 to 11, The general imprcs-ion however appears to be, that the Bank Bill will also puss tiie Senate.
