French buyers, it is stated, have almost controlled prices in the New York market for some time past, their orders having been on a very extensive scale. An English writer on France calls attention to the fact that upon the abundance or failure of the grain harvest in that country, may depend the question of war or peace for Europe. With that suspicion and dislike for the Emperor Napoleon to which almost every British journal gives bitter and constant expression, this writer broaches a theory, that, in the event of a short crop, the French ruler will make war abroad, in order to maintain himself at home and k
