We may therefore look, at a very early day, for a change in the ministry, the elevation of Sir Robert Peel to power, and all the reforms which the state of the times and the wants of the people demand, including household suffrage, vote by ballot, and sweeping financial reforms in every department of State. The affairs of Ireland will of course o2cupy Sir | Robert Peei's attention, and there is good reason to suppose that he would be willing to extend | | these reforms to that country also; and we do not doubt but that he will propose them, and endeavor to head off the agitators. We doubt very much, however, if the people of that country would be satisfied with anything short of a repeal of the union, and a domestic parliament.

His whole public life will be searched, and every act of omission and commission which has character- ized it, will be glaringly brought forward, exag- gerated, and commented upon severely, by his po- litical opponents. In this respect, he is not so com- fortably situated as his predecessor was under the same circumstances. After a searching inquiry, it was discovered that Mr. Polk never omitted to do anything which he ought to have done, and ne- ver committed an act which he ought not to have committed. In fact, as a public man, he was com- paratively unknown, and on that account escaped what is in store for General Cass.— This gentleman is not so fortunate. In the course of his public life, he has taken a very active part in politics, and has been generally look- ed upon as an aspirant to the Presidency. He has filled many important offices, and has been distinguished in the Senate of the United States. Tt is but a few days since he received his nomina- tion, and as courtesy required, he resigned his seatin the Senate. This resignation is attributed toa desire to shirk voting on the Wilmot proviso question, in connection with the bill to ma Oregon a territory, His letter declaring his in bility to attend the River and Harbor Convention has been re-published in a number of whig jour- nals, and the sentiments contained in the book which he published while minister to France, are all brought up in fragrant judgment him. Notwith- standing all these things, however, we apprehend that General Cass, as a statesman and as a Pr dent, 18 as well qualified to discharge the duties of that office, as any man we know of belong any party. The nominee of the whig convention, whoever he may be, must of course expect the same kind of treatment. His political opponents will investi- gate his past conduct in like manner, and bring up everything against him which they can lay their hands upon. This is fair, and no more than right. A man whose life cannot bear a searching inquiry of this kind, is not fit to be President of this great country. It only proves what a man may expect when he is nominated for that high office. We apprehend, however, that it will puzzle the po- litical enemies of General Taylor, in case that distinguished hero be nominated, to find anything in his past life that will be of electioneering pro- fit tothem. They will have their labor for their pains. Mr. Clay has been canvassed too often to make it advisable to repeat the process, as far as he is concerned. His career is tolerably well known in this country. Meerine or tHE Ware Convention.—The Whig National Convention for the nomination of candi- dates for that party, for the offices of President and Vice President of the United States, will meet in Philadelphia to-morrew, and, in all probability, they willget through their labors after aday or two’s deliberation, and perhaps on the first day. The public will soon know who 1s tobe General Case’s opponent in the approaching struggle, and will be able to form some opinion on the contest, which will then commence in earnest. The strug- gle will be unquestionably great between the friends of Mr. Clay and those of General Taylor, for the nomination, and it may possibly end in the selection of some other candidate by that body. Itis probable that the whole matter will be arranged m caucus before the regular organization of the Couvention; and if Mr. Clay hits to be cast aside, it willbe done in a very pol:te and gentle manner. Speculation, however, will soon be needless. We shall have the facts in a day or two. ‘We shall take pains to present our readers with graphic and accurate reports of each day’s pro- ceedings, which we shall lay before them as early as possible. rs Forrign Arrairs.—We publish the following notices for the benefit of parties interested :— Danist Consutats, Boston, U.S. A..

PostaL Arrangements wit Ex@ianp. — The Tetaliatory postage law now before Congress will, undoubtedly, have the desiredeflvct. The English people are taking alarm, and show a disposition to do justice in the matter of postal rates between the two countries, The case has been brought before Parliament in the shape of an enquiry of the head one of the members. There is nothing like showing a stiff upper lip to G Britain, in everytl Later rrom Venezvera.—We are in receipt of files of the El Patriota, published at Caracas, to the 24th of April. They were brought to this city via Maracaibo, by a gentleman from that place, who very kindly sent them to this office. ‘The news is not of any decided nature, but what we have, goes to show that Paez’s party is on the wane, and that Monagas is in the ascen- dant. A petition had been presented by the oli- garchist (Paez) party to Congress for permissiom to concede an amnesty for all political circumstan- ces which had transpired since the 2jth of Jahua- ry. This amnesty depends on their taking the usual oaths of allegiance to the government. £1 Patriota does not mention the fate of it... The pun- ishment of death was about to be abolished in Venezuela. From Maracaibo we learn that all was conster- nation and confusion. The government troops had arrived at Gracia, within eight miles of the city, and were expected momentarily to enter the town at the time our informant left. Whether Paez’s party was in the right or wrong, it seems they got the worst of it. We trust, though, that having thus proved their inefficiency, they will, for the sake of their distracted country, subinit to a fair and honorable arrangement. From Demrrana.—The schooner Globe, Capt. ly, arrived yesterday, with accounts from De- merara to the 22d ult. Governor Light and fami- ly embarked for Europe on the 18th. He was suceeeded in the administration of government by the Hon. Mr. Walker, formerly secretary. The importation of coolies to the colony has not prov- ed as advantageous as was expected; and the propriety of abolishing the system was argued before the Assembly on the 8th. Among some remarks on the subject, the following was em- bodied iff a report from Earl Grey to the Go- vernor:— “ As there had beon no application from any quarter | for coolies this reason, the ha Sd was that the dereription of immigrants might be dispensed with, It was alo suggested whether the bounty on the intro- ether discontinued, and the funds provided for im- migration purposes, be wholly appropriated to bringing immigrants from Africa, who, according to Dr. Bon- un's report, appeared to be in every respect suited to production of sugar.’?

All went off well.and now the Theatre will be closed for a few weeks until Mr. Hamblin re-opens it again; at that period we trust to be able to give & good account of the progress of old Drury.

The piece will be repeated this evening. Tue CratHam—As usual, was, a8 “Mose” would say, | a“crammer” last night. ‘Chaos Come Again,” “ The | Old Oak Chest,” “New York As It Is,” and “Land Sharks and Sea Gulls” were the picees selected for the occasion, and they were received with high favor—and 80 were the songs and dances. Wore we to say that all New York will regret the absence of Mose, and | “New York As It Is,” we know our tupporters would be unanimous, but, as we are promised 8 new drama of great interest, #e shall anxiously await its production; and, if it succeed, as prodigiously as its predecessor, it | will make a “pile.” as tho sporting men say, for this | highly popular house, The drama of “Louise or the | White Searf,” will bo presented this evening ; also, “Now York As It Is,” and “Wreck Ashore.” Castie Ganven.—This vast house was well attend- ed last evening, notwithstanding the unfavorable state of the weather. That could not damp the ardor of our citizens to visit this magnificent place of amusement. ‘The performances all went off with great éclat, Madame Augusta in particular being received with the utmost enthusiasm. ‘This most elegant danseuse whose sym- metrical and elegant figure shows to such advantage in the graceful dances which she performs, certainly stands pre-eminent in her profession, There ix grace in all her movements and refinement and modesty in her dancing. She will perform again this evening in several beautiful dances, We must not omit mention- ing the dramatic performances. The new stage is now so conveaient aud well arranged that none can complain of not seeing it. Holland, that inimitable actor, and the rest of the company, will prove hizhl attractive. and we trust that Messrs. French and If ser will reap a handsome harvest for their enterprise in thus beautifully arranging Castle Garden. Ninto's—Asror Pace, BRoabway.—The re-opening, last evening, of this fashionable place of amusement, un- der the able management of tho celebrated Niblo, though not favored with fine weather. was well attend- ed. The house seemed to us as bright, ax crowded, and as well arranged as it was under the Italian Opera, on one of itsmost elegant nights, Niblo has made some very important alterations in this establishment; | and not the least,in such a country as ours, is an equality of seats. | The third tier of Astor Placo, which had been by the silly management of the Italian man- agers, separated from the firat and second tiers of boxes, is now connected with the others by two staircases, at the top of which the wronaut amateur finds two bars, where he may enjoy a cool drink, and recover from the heat occasigned by travelling up. Nevertheless this place of amusefient will be, during the present season, one of the coolest in the city. The situation of the building (between Astor place and Eighth street) allows all the windows to be opened ; and, consequent- ly, the draught is. and will over be, as fine and certain as it was at Niblo’s Garden, when the fragrant breezes were playing among the ringlets of the lovely ladies who used to patronize the garden. The Viennoise Dan- seuses were the first attraction presented by Niblo to the public. doubt, these bewitching children will make a great sensation there, and fill the treasury of the manager. The English company for vaudevilles and comedy, is composed of the most clever actors of New York—Messrs. Chippendale, Walcot, and John Sefton, Mrs, Maeder, the pretty Kate Horn. Miss Roberts, Mrs. Henry, and others. Niblo’s Astor Place will be open every night, and, no doubt, its «uccess will go on in- creasing. It is useless to add that the staircase and lob bies have been furnished and embellished with splen trees and flowers, It is the second volume of Niblo's Garden. Cunisty's Minstreis —-There is an opera called “ L’Elisire d'Amour,” or the “ Elixir of Love,” wherein one Doctor Duleamara—we think is the name—works wonders by gi A} people this wonderfulelixir. We think Christy's folks must have got a demijohn of it on hand, as the people of New York do run after them in @ most remarkable manner. Night after night do crowds assemble to hear them, and so it will continue for months to come. we feel certain. Strangers arriv- ing in town ought to visit them the first evening. Baxvanv’s Paxvonama —This great work is as attrac- tive asever. The visiters are all delighted with their telegraphic trip up or down the Mississippi. We com- mend it to the especial attention of sight-scers. Mr.opron —This snug house is so cool. so well ven- tilated. so admirably managed, and the performances are so racy. that the place ix crowded every evening.— Mr. Duilinge is a Mee od dancer. and the champion bone player \r. G. Brown, is really and truly a sur- prizing performer. M. Dunrevie, the celebrated baritone, who met, last ear, with s uch great success at the different concerts is gave, with the talented French prima donna, Mad. Fleury Jolli, arrived in New York on Sunday morning last, from New Orleans. It will be remembered that M. Dubreuil belonged to M. Davis’s French operatic company. We hope to have soon an opportunity of hearing the applause he will undoubtedly receive at the first concert in which he will sing. Frencu Livg or Sreamers From Havre ‘to New Orteans,—The ele is a translation of a communication written by M. Masson to a mer- chant at New Orleans: “ Whilst I remained in Havre, | became acquainted with M., Berthelot, with whom I went to Paris, and ar- rived there at the time of the revolution. We fought together for the rake of liberty. I was afterwards in- troduced into a club. where I became acquainted with several members ‘of the provixionat government. M. Arago, minister of marine, to whom I was particularly recommended, was kind enough to ask me questions upon the topographical position of the mouths of the Mississippi, and upun the feasibility of establishing a line of steamers between Havre and New Orleans, anewered the best I could, conscious as I was that this enterprise would be very advantageous, My opinion was that the steamers ought not todraw more than thirteen feet of water, and not be built ever 2500 tons; that the crew ought to be chosen among the officers and sailors of the government; and finally, thatit was necessary that steamships should be free of all duty to the custom house, as are men-of-war. “Messieurt Marrast and Ledru Rollin, who were pre- sent at our conversation, complimented me and as- sured me that thoy shared my opinion on that subjec that the goveroment thonght toestablish the line voted under Louis Philippe. and that just after the convoca- tion of the national convention, an appropriation would be proposed in order to put, as soon as possible, that line into operation. “T therefore believe that Now Orleans will soon be connected with Havre. by « line of transatlantic steam- ern, and soom hecome the rival of New York and Boston.

He was committed on both charges. Another.— William White was also held to bail for an assault and battery on Bogart Throckmorton, by snap- ping @ loaded pistol at him.

The procession moved through Grand street, down Broadway to St. Peter's Church, followed by ® large body of spectaters. On entering the church, which was filled with a vast num- ber of ladies and gentlemen, to witness the interesting ceremony, the military marched up the centre aisle, and opened their columns, forming a passage for the committee to pass through. ‘The Rev. Dr. Pisc, who was in waiting, with his mild and benevolent looking countenance, received the flag, in order to bless the same with the sacred rites of the holy church, before the presentation. The reverend gentleman took the flag from the bearers, and placed it on the altar, by the side of the crucifix; the band as- cended to the choir, and played the beautiful Hymn of Pope Pius 1X.; after which Dr. Pise blessed the flag with the benediction of heaven, and then delivered the fol- lowing beautiful address to the committee Iratians—With all the solemnities of the Church, I haye blessed your beautiful national banner. With the bencdiction of heaven upou it, let it spread out, in triumph, its tri-colored folds to the breath of liberty. The spectacle now displayed to the astonished world is, beyond all anticipation, glorious and consolatory—that of religion hand in hand with freedom—walking in light and beauty over Italy, united in an indissoluble and Dexpetual nd, by the immortal Pius 1X. ‘This ceremony 1s a most delightful one to me, in a three-fold cupacity—as an American, as the son of an Italian father, and as a priest of the Catholic church Imbued from my infancy with the love of liberty and order ; appreciating, by comparison, the blessings of my native land, it would be impossible for me rot to sympathise with the nations of Europo now struggling out of thraldom...Born near the cradle of Carroll of Carroliton—educated under the shadow of the capitol and not far from the tomb of Washington—my soul has not failed to catch the spirit of those patriotic and hal- lowed scenes. Nor is it now the first time that I have given vent to its aspirations. When yet in boyhood. on a visit to Ituly, my fancy, contemplating the chains which Austria—not’ then constitutional but despotic Austria—had riveted upon her, took fire, and expross- ed its deep sympathies in puerile but indignant verse: “Yos, they have bound thy ruddy hands with chains, Consumed thy riches, and laid waste thy plains.” —And when, after spending some timein Naplea, I passed over to the Icvely island of Sicily, and compared the two countries, my young muse predicted in some sense. the separation which has been so nobly effected by sicily :— Nature hath made, it is clear, to bo More brave, more true, more happy, and more free.’ —As years rolled on, the sympathies of my boyish soul have ‘grown deeper and firmer, for the fate of classic Italy—and. in the midst of the stirring and auspicious events which are now regenerating the old world and astonishing the new, I rejoice tu have an opportunity— especially so solemn and sacred as the present—to prove my sympathies, as an American, in presence of this tlag of liberated Italy, on which I have invoked, through the ministry of the Church, the benedictions of heaven, If such be my feelings, in common with every American, how must my heart not throb, as the son of an Italian father? The blood of an Etrurian exile courses in my veins, and the glory or woes of his country have always been & source of jubilee or of sorrow to my bosom. Long and calamitous has been the period of her sub- jection to foreign arms. Her cloudless skies have smiled upon a fair and fertile, but blighted land. Her sons have pined for centuries in boudage—their genius, their talents, their patriotism, their noble dispositions, have been paralyzed and enchained; and their renown- ed and lovely country—which has been the inspiring theme of poetry, and the home of the arts and letters— held in subjugation by the bayonets of the once irr sponsible Despot. Yes, on the populous plains of Lom- bardy, as on the solitary canals of Venice, and the sacred hilla of Rome, the black and double headed eagle monstrous emblem of imperial absolutism—brood- ed in awe and terror. All Italy was withering under ita fatal intluence—until. of a sudden, there was heard a frumpet-sound from the Vatican: “Italy, arise !— Land of the Scipios and the Leos—shake off thy ma- nacles! The day of thy social resurrection is at hand. The dawn of national glory is breaking in the smiling heavens, Thy banners are unfurled by the Vicar of Christ, never to be fulded up, until overy vestige of foreign dominion and domestic misrule shall be effaced from the peninsula.” Italians! you have heard the summons—it has pealed over the Atlantic and awaken- ed your enthusiasm. As the descendant of your noble race, I participate in it; and with most earnest prayer, inspired by fervid hope, have I pronounced the benc- diction upon your national banner, As a priest of the Catholic Church—the ancient Church of Italy—my heart overflows with joy. on this unlooked for and memorable occasion. For it is from the centre of that church. that the light of liberty bas issued again with its primeval lustre and effeet. From the Papal chair the Angel of emancipation has been sent abroad on a mission of social progress and national rights; proclaiming throughout the earth the glad tid- ings of freedom, in the name. and under the sanction of the glory of the Papacy, and the benefactor of man- kind—Pius IX. Yes. from the events which are now occurring in Rome and spreading over all Italy. this great truth has been vindicated and developed—that the Papacy, in- stead of being opposed to human liberty, is its best and strongest friend. Hitherto, this might have been deemed adoubtful theory in the opinion of the prerent age; but since the banners of national independence bave been unfurled on the Vatican, by Pius IX.. all doubt has vanirhed away. In fact, the history of the past has recorded. in her imperishable faeti, thia truth, which the present is but splendidly confirming. When the mighty Attila, that “scourge of * was thundering at the gates of Rome, was he not faced and repulsed by the Papal power? ‘That power also drove back the Moors of Africa, when they threatened to overspread all Europe. That power opposed, and at length trium- phantly rolled back the tide of Moslem invasion which menaced the classic soil of Italy with total inundation. ‘That power withstood the violence, and curbed the despotism of the Emperors during the feuds of the middle ages. That power sustained the national rights of the Guelphs against the contending faction of the Ghibelines. The Papacy. to-day, is only re-enacting— but with a faller development, conformably to the pr. sent age, and the exigencies of nations—the magnifi- cent deeds of the Papacy in former times. The world. has, at length, learned. to make the distinction b tween the Papacy and the Pope—the office and the incumbent ; the former the centre of light, civilization, and liberty ; the latter a mere individual, who may be, aseuch, influenced by circumstances, ar aotnated by political or sinister motives ;-—-nay, more than thi who may be distinguished by anything but humanity, virtue, or justice. Ispeak of him as 8 man, for man will be man, whether King or pontiff. Whereas the Papacy, bain the institution of God, cannot but pat- se me of His eternal attributes—tzuth, justice, and erty. ' Nor does the Papacy necessarily imply the union of the ecclesiastical and temporal powers. No, were the: be separated, the institution of Christ would rem unimpaired—for every Catholic understands that the Divine Founder of the Church did not confer on Peter or his succestors temporal sovereignty, nor did he make any promise of its perpetuity ; whereas the spiritual dominign no power can take fram them. They held that power befure the territorial grants of Constantine or Charlemagne; and they will hold it—and the ongan- ination of the church will, in any event, suffer naught in its integrity—until the conrummation of the world. We have seen the evidence of the dogma [ have been elucidating; we have seen, in ages past, darkness and barbarism covering the face of the earth; the elements of civilization broken up, and moral and intellectual chaos brooding upon the world. And amid that uni- versal gloom and confusion, no other light was to be seen shining on the nations, but that which issued from the P: peer ‘The focus of religion and civilization, it spread those blessings among all people, while it pre- served the nationality and independence of Italy. Some individual Popes, {t is true, may have tampered with regal power, and yielded to Saye eaprice; but, whenever an effectual blow was to be struck against oppression, from the papacy emanated the daring and strength necessary for such a crisis. All this not oly stands recorded in history, but is now made evident to this age, by the events that are confounding the one. mies of social progress, and filing with admiration, gratitude and hope, tho hearts of patriots and freemen. It is now fully attested that the first grand impulse which has since aroused all Italy to action, and which has shaken even Austria to her very contro, was give: by the great and immortal pontiff, Pius 1X. jis apos- tolic benediction accorepanies and sqnctifics the pro- gross of liberty. He las placed on the breasts of the modern crusaders the red cross. that indicates the sa- ered cause in which they are enrolled. He has given notice to the world, in tones whioh reverberate from Etna to the Simpion, that the papacy ix determined to encourage and aid oy all social reforms, in every quarter of the carth. And his own benevolent men- sures, his consisten ond aufaltyring conduct through- out, have proved that he means what he proclaims. If he hesitated to declare a direct and offensive war agaiast Austria, on his own official responsibility, thie only proves the exalted view he takes of his spiritual supremacy ax head of the Catholic Church; breath- ing peace and charity towards that very people who: temporal dominion in Italy he himself, as an Italian rince and patriot, was the first to oppose and destroy, His position was one of extreme delicacy, and nec sarily plunged his great heart in perplexity and » row. The Roman people, even in the midst of the ex- citement consequent on this hesitation, expressed no other sentiment towards him than love and venern- tion. This breathes in the rospectfal and well-timed remonstranco of the Sonate, in the dignified protests of the Ambassadors at Rome. and in the proclamation of Prince Doria to the pontifical armies, A compromise has, in conn be hoped. to the people and to his conrctence; and it is the prayor of every true friend of Italian indepen- dence, that the Romans may never cense to hold in tl leserver, the wise, the pure- the incomparable prince and pontiff. who up by Providence, to moet the apiritual exigencios of the age.

We, children an: brothers of those who fought for liberty, we take this occasion to show our national feelings, and to invite those who are prepared, to sail for Italy, and fight for the giorious independence of their country. Some months ago, Austria trampled over our rights, and re- pelled us asa nation, and merely considered us as a family ofslaves, until @ voice cried from the seven hills of Rome, ‘Italy awake.” Thut voice was that of Pius 1X.—the great reformer of all ages, and father of all Italians. . On the finish of these last remarks, the audience made a slight indication of applause; but recollecting themselves, at once refrained from any demonstration. of that character. The band then played another beau- tiful hymn, and the flag was again taken by the bearers, and the procession moved down Barclay street, to pier No, 6 North River. where the brig Carolina was deco- rated with flags. awaiting the arrival of the committee, The dock and shipping in the vicinity:were lined with spectators, to witness, if possible, the interesting affair. On arriving at the vessel, the Italian Guard formed a line in front of the ship, the band still continuing to play, while the committee mounted on board; and when all was in readiness, Mr. Forresti stood upon the quar- ter deck, with Captain Corrao on his eft, surrounded by the committee and a large number of Italian citi- zens, all of whom wore a pretty rosette on their coat of (ual white, and red, and addressed the captain as fol~ jows :— Carraix Cornnao—I present you this flag.in the namo ofall the Italians of New York. shoes welt to see that you are the first to arrive at this port with the Italian national flag. They present you this flag. captain, tI on your return to your native country you may be ena- bled to tell the feelings of the Italians of New York. Mr. Forresti then quoted the words of Napoleon:— * Guai a chi la tocca”—» God gave me this flag,” — and let those beware who touch it with disrespect. ‘The flag was then handed to the captain, who respond- ed briefly:— Irattans anv Fettow Citizens:—I have not words sufficient to thank you; but on my return I shall be enabled to show how the Italians of New York sympathize with their countrymen who strug- gle for liberty. I assure you. gentivmen, that on this vessel entering any port, this flag shall ever wave. At the conclusion, cheers were given, three times three, and up went the flag to the masthead, the band striking up the Marseillaise Hymn Re- freshments were now handed out in abu ndance, which very soon harmonized all on board. making each man feel a republic. nay, a kingdom, within bin. self. Several Italian ladies were on board. to witness the ceremony. An incident occurred, a short time af- ter the flag was hoisted : one of the sailors pulled the rope which held the flag; the rope broke, and down it came, just as the band was playing “Hail Columbia.” Another sailor, one of the crew, seized the flag, olimb- ed up the rigging, with the flag in his mouth, and tied it tothe yard-arm; and just at that moment the band changed the tune, and struck up “Yankee Doodle.”’ This happy hit brought down long and continued ap- plause from all who witnessed it. Soon after. the rappel oa the drum was given; the mili- tary took their departure, and the whole affair went off ina very respectuble and gratifying manner.
