Frish Affairs—The Potato Disease—State Prose- cutions—Guizot — The West Indwa Colones— The English Chartists—George Stevenson, the Railway Engineer. It is, unfortunately, now no matter of doubt or spec- alation, that nearly the entire potato crop of Ireland is lost by the disease of 1846, and that Great Britain may look forward to the approaching winter with dis- may ang consternation, as to the certain and direfuy results, Starvation in its sternest form must overwhelm the land, should the imperial treasury withhold its timely aid. Providence, wise in all its purposes, orders it for the best; nevertheless, the afllictions of the mo- ment are difficult to reconcile to a patient submission, ‘The weather that has destroyed one source of support, mow seems to threaten the other; as the damaged state of the corn crops are causing great alarm, and the markets are rapidly rising It may now be certainly asserte, thateven with moderately favorable weathe™ for rca ing and securing the harvest, a similar amount must b: expended in the purchase of foreign grain, i government wish to save from certain starvation, one- half of the population of ire!and. The machinery 0° the poor law commission has already been put in move ment for ascertaining the actual state of the potato crop, and also of the probable amount of corn; and, 80 far as cun be judged, the result is, that the resources of the country are, as neariy as possible, in the same posi- tion as they were in the fatal autumn of 1846. It is therefore, obvious, that if the produce of that autumn proved insufficient, the same result will attend the present one, to be followed as certainly by a drain of epecie, to pay for importations @f food, which will cause a contraction of the eurrency, mercantile embarrassments, and whole. fule benkruptcies. If ratiional probability, founded ‘on the strictest analogy, can have any show of reason, these must ccme to pass—nay, more, the great pos- sibility of a suspension of cash payments, and an ex- plesion cf the present rotten monetary system, conse- quent Upon an overwhelming national debt. It is cer- tain that God, in his inscrutable wisdom, never sent the present blight upon the land to afllict his creatures, without baving a wise object in view ; and if it be, by indirect means, to destroy the present vicious stock- Jobbing system that holds all Europe in thraldom, it will be cheaply purchased, The ministerial papers already see the dark, portentious storm, coming, and ene of them has predicted the realization of many items in the foregoing catalogue of events, stopping short, however, before it arrived at the final crash ‘which will not be the less retarded on that account. ‘The evil day may be postponed for a short time, but it must come ; no bolsterings up or declarations of confi- dence, can turn it aside. The only alternative now open to the ministry is the raising a fresh loan, to mitigate Irish suffering, and add itto the debt, leaving the interest to be paid out of the labor and industry of the present and com- ing generations, as the ministry have no soruples about mortgeging the blood and sinews of posterity. ‘This mode ef relieving a famishing people may be just, according to the emergency of the case, but its justice ‘is much weakened by the fact that the whole money, thus bestowed, finds its way, eventually, into the pockets of the Irish landlords. By way of illustrating this, it only requires to be remembered that, instead of the peeple being fed on the produce of the soil, it is exportcdfor the benefit of the land-owner, who leaves others, better disposed, to feed their famishing poor, and to do, in acts of charity, what they ought to do as @ matter of duty, at their own expense None can be 80 blind as not to see through their knavery, in thoir evasions and prayers to be relieved from the necessity of feeding their own poor, when they see any chance of others doing it for them It has ever been their | oliey.’aud will continue so as long, as there are fools | Fa the world tobe duped by them. ‘The question now naturally arises, how are the gov- | ernment to wake use of the victory they have gained | over tho Irish rebels? 1t may in some measure answer this query, by considering how far the memorial from the Roman Cathclic bicrarchy and clergy to Lord Clarendon, praying for a general amnesty and a for- riveness of the past, will ineet with attention, As it as not yet been presented, nothing can be really known ; butit is worth remarking, that the first an- nouncement of euch a movement, claiming the royal prerogative in favor of mercy, was rudely attacked in | the columns of an official journal. which denounced | it as a mixchicvous interference that sought to dictate ‘when ‘tle prerogative of the crown ought to be ex- | ercised. From there remarks the belief is induced, that measure of full rigor will be dealt out to the | offenders ogainet royalty. | Asfar os the Queen is individually concerned, it is Not supported that she will exercise much opinion or | discretion in the matter, but simply follow the course | recommended by her ministers. Since the appearance ‘of serious troubles in Ireland, the Catholic clergy have taken no part in them, otherwise than, in partial in- stances, cautioning their flocks to abstain fromany ticipation in tumult and outrage that could only Yead ttm into danger without avy beneficial result. ‘The bishops, as faras their influence went, were op- edto the movement also. The adhesion of these | divines to the cause of order, has probably induced | the ministry to enlist their services the more effee- tually in their cause, by issuing an order that in fature all dignitarics of the Roman Catholic Church in Great Britain and its colonies, shall be styled and titled equally to the Protestan’ hierarchy. The object ts transpr:cnt. and to have made it acceptable the con- cession cught to have been made years ago ; for if it is an act of justice done mow, it was equally one that Tequired being done then. Asa farther step towards ‘the conciliation of this body, their endowment is now aid to be arulject occupying the attention of the cabi- net, a3 one means by which they hope to tranquilise thecountiy. Itisfeared however, with some reason, that they will not accept the offer, as they can only Jook at itas the enlistment of their services as a sub- stitute for the huge army of police and military that ‘overpowers the country atsuch a vast expense. Were the endowment of the priests accomplished for pure and disinterested purposes, it wouid be favorably viewed ; but the cloven feot shows itself too clearly in the affair, and its acceptance would certainiy lead to the alienation of the great mass of the people from them. Hitherto it has ever been, that in proportion priest was opposed to the Saxon govern- ‘ment, 50 was he loved and obeyed by his flock. ‘With « support which has been far from securing a moderate competency, the parish priest has been contented, and itis not to be supposed at this moment ‘of trial he will forego the affections of his congress: tion, aud the independence of his position, nay, of his existence, to plage himself in the power and Influence of a government, who may, at any moment, deprive him of his living, if his political subserviency does not meet their requirements, The result of the trial of Mr. Doherty, one of the writers of the Inte Irish Tribune newspaper, where the jury was discharged, without coming to any decision. has given vise toe fresh effort being made by a part of the F'n; lish press, to obviate the necessity of unanimity in the finding of Irish juries. It is desired by them that a new law be passed, which will give validity to a verdict. where two-thirds of them are agreed. This, it Je arserte¢, will do away with, and completely frustrate ‘the obstinacy’of the Catholic book-eaters, who are not allowed by these writers the credit of possessing either judgmert or honesty in the divcharge of so sacred a ‘duty. In former cases, the non-agreement of juries procured the liberation of Mir, O’Brien and Mr. Me: gher; but, in the present instance, Mr. Doherty was remanded to prison to await a new trial, and to hazard ‘the cha nos of finding anotherjury more accommodating to the wishes of the Irish executive, Some, more in- tolerent than these. whilst they urge this change, ar- gue that ireland, at the present moment, ought not to dower eught to be vested in the hands of ths civil and militaryauthorities, to carry into effect the most prompt and sume ry punishment on political delinquency.— Some idea may be formed of the gigantic ecale on which te prosecutions are being carried on at the present time, by the fact of Lord John Russell aking Parlis- ment for n grant of halt a million sterling for this pur- pore. In asking for it, he did not evince avy humilia- Hon at the thought of prosecuting men who have been goaded on to the commission of crime by the operation Of partial and unjust laws, which he, for one, has had had his fuil ehare in making and perpetuating. Whilst the full severity and rigor of the law is being carried out against the humble delinquent, the great ones efcare with impunity, if the public may judge from va- rious rumors of the political intrigues of Monsiour Guizot, who has the reputation of having been not only busily but successfully engaged in hatching plots inst the whole liberal interests of the continent — is said to be availing himeelf of port, by helping to disburse the bloat- London piano-forte maker, Public in- has frequently been expreseed against this ’s conduct, yneral wish iz, that the provisions of the whig alien act should be put in imme- diate operation against him Tho state of the West India colonies soems to be ap- hing a crisis, which it will be diMoult for the jome government to meet, as the last accounts from Jamaica showed the colonial treasury unable to moet its current payments. It is hopel-ss for‘them to e: Ree, the mother country will mal hen her own apinments a there is no doubt tem begins to bent strong evidence of a O- dution, not only as regaros this island, but the whole @olonial empire, Sir Willigm Molerworth has recent- Ts a under the | es COvTts requiring the aid of juries, but that a — jy, in bis moton on the colonial expenuiture, clearly proved that every pounds worth of goods | exported totbhem Engiand expends in the protection and government of such colonies, the sum of ten siil- | lings, which shows clearly the monstrous misrute and impolicy 0: the people of this country, holding them | merely that they may furnish lucrative and almost | sinecure places to the younger sons and illegitimate | cbildren of the aristocracy. ‘The same gentleman has | glish emigration and | also shown that the amount of exports to the United States of America is greater than that to the whole of the British colonies, without re- | quiring from her the expenditure of a farthing. What procf can be plainer than the above, that it would de | to the interest of England to make them independent; the more so, when, as ut the pruent time, noreciprocity of interest exists, nor is there any hope it ever will exist whilst every thing is sacrificed at the sbrine of class interests. ‘The stereotyped answer of the colonial secretary, for the time being, invariably is, that they areasure market for our manufactures—a source of employment for our shipping, and a nursery for our seamen. ‘The fallacy of the two former presumed ad- vantages heve been already shown, and as to the latter, the American merino always commands our best sea- mon, because in it they are best paid and best treated. The rising of the slaves in the island of St. Croix has been viewed here with some interest, and the ho is expressed in certain quarters that the movement will extend to Cuba, and ;robably to the States. A paper, which is generaily the exponent of the West India in- terest, has viewed the intelligence as giving some hopes of its being the advent to « more prosperous state of things—not by rairing the condition of the colonies by &n iipproved cultivation, or» more vigorous mani ment, but by a lowering of the condition and prosperity of their rival, through the means of a successful insur- rectionary movement, ending in the abolition of slavery and the establishment of another gable republic in Cuba However desirable the abolition of slavery may be, it does nut argue well for its aocomplishment that motives of interest should dictate the wish. It is, however, in unison with the whole composition of this interest, which is characterised as being constituted of a set of lazy, bankrupt, non-resident proprietors, who, having ¢quandered their property in extrayas gance, look to the government to impose protectin, duties to enable them to live in idleness and comfor' at the expense of the public. The latest news from Ireland is pacific; the only | subject worthy of note being the fact of Mr. Martin, | of the Felon, being found guilty, and the arrest at Armagh of five well dressed Americans, who were conan to Dublin and there imprisoned. They had £1,700 in their possession, which was seized. It appears they srrived at Belfast on Saturday, from Androssan in Scotland. The American sympathisers have been unfortunate, for it appears they have no sooner arrived than they have falien into the hands of the detectives, who have dealt very unceremoniously with them, There cannot be jess than a dozen in prison, and two Frenchmen. ‘The potato disease appears to have entirely destroyed the crop in Ireland; and great fears are entertained for the safety of the corn harvest, and the same appre- hensions may be attached to those of England. Lord almerston’s explanations as to the affairs of Italy are satisfactory on change. it is at present a political chaos, The chartists have again made lly attempt at a demonstration, which the police have prevented, and arrested thirty-five of their leaders, who were armed at taverns, ready for some mysterious deeds only known to themselvee. Various large towns bave been the scenes of similar attempts, which in every case were suppressed, but at Arhton, near Manchester. life was lost. ‘The world will learn with regret the death of George Stephenson, Esq ,the celebrated railway engineer, at the advanced age of 67. His loss, both as a public and private character, will be deeply deplored, as in him were united those talents and virtues which make a prominent position a satisfaction to its possessor, and an honor to the age. Born in obscurity, near New- castle-on-Tyre, he commenced in early boyhood the humble drudgery of a pit-boy in a colliery, and in this occupation gradually advanced himself to the more responsible duty of taking charge of a subordinate part in the drainage and ventiation of the mine. Atten- tion, compiled with various useful suggestions for the more efficient working of this department, secured for him the favorable notice of his employers, who did not fail to foster what they considered the indications of a latent genius. Those subtle fluids, water and gas, the twin dangera of the mine, ever difficult to restrain and guide, had, up to this, time held supremacy in their strongholds, in y instances restricting, whilst in more they stayed the operations of man. A barrier, so formidable to private and national interests, only required the exercire of a mind like George Stephen- son’s to mitigate, if not to remove the evil, and it was in this pursuit and that of his daily avocations, young as he was, and unaided by auy of those applian- ces, which no abound in the wide diffusion of science, rough a popular literature, that be studied the nature of the elements that surrounded him, the more effect- vully to subdue them. ‘Tardy as are sometimes the footsteps of fame in tracing and rewarding the obscure march of humble genius, the mining district, of which his tphere of action was the centre, soon gave proof of its due appreciation by the ever-increasing claims made onhisservices. Sub-equently, the duties imposed onhim as mining engineer to Lord Ravenworth’s ex- tensive collieries, led him to accomplish many improve ments on his Lordship’s railways, and to apply to them ‘an improved locomotive power. At this early peried of of the steam engine’s pioztess, as applied to mining purposes, it was marked by a rudeness of construction, and an ineflicieney of action, which he did much to remedy. It was only about the year 1820, that his talent’ began to be known beyond his own locality, when his aid was sought to superintend the construc- tion of the Stockton and Darlington railway, for the trancit cf the mineral produce of the upper valley of the weet to the seaboard. His Inbors here were about being brought to a close when the act was obtained for the construction of the Liverpool and Manchester railw Tho Directors, wisely considering practical experience essentially necessary to the proper develop- ment of their project, and the disbursement of so large | an ou'lay, sent a deputation of their body to view Mr. | Stephenson’s works, and if possible to secure his ser- vices, The mission of the deputation having proved satisfactory, the works were commenced nud prose- cuted with vigor ; and it was towards their completion that the question arose, as to the kind of tractive power that should be adopted in working its traffic, when it was ultimately decided that new powers snould be sought from Parliament, to ranction the use of loco- motive power, It wagin the battle of prejudice and ignorance egainst science, that Mr. Stephenson first appeared before a committee of the Legislature, to state | bis opinions—some founded on experience and others | on conviction—as to the capability of an extensive passenger and mercantile traffic beingaccomplished by this power, without its old appliances and at high ve- Iceities. The ridicule and contumely with which his statements were received, naturally caused him per- plexity, which was heightened from his being in a | position so foreign to his past appearances of grappling with real, and not the imaginary ones, it was the ob- ject and interest of the opposing barristers to suggest | tohis mind. The successfal completion and opening | of this railway, which has been, ina certain measure, | the model of succeeding ones, will ever remain a3 such, | amonument of his ekill and industry. On the com- | pletion of this line, a new era in the transit of the country commenced, and numerous important rail- ways were planned and executed by the same succes:- | ful'engineer, till his !abors were lightened and eventu- aly superceded by his son und successor, who is now | carrying out a variety of gigantic works worthy the | uame of his father. In the improvement of the loco- | motive engine, to him must be awarded the chief merit. | During the last ten years of his life, Mr. Stephenson | has been developing the mineral resources of Leices- tershire, in an extensive coalfield, of which he became the proprietor, well as giving occasional serviee to | the various claims the practical advance of science forced on his attention. ‘There are probably some who | still remember, about the beginning of the present | century, the fearful calamities that frequently spread desolation among the colliery districts of the North, | by the fatal explosions of carburetted hydrogen gas in the miner. The claims of humanity upon xclence, at | this time, were so strongly enlisted, as to call forth the mental energies of many men of talent, to remedy the evil, which was at Inst accomplished by Sir Humphrey | Davey’s discovery of the satety lamp. The applause of | the world, which bad so often been won by the dis- coveries of this great man, was again being bestowed, when public attention was directed to the fact, that the mind of Stephenson had run parallel to, | and realised all, the features of the new divcovery, in the production of an almost similarlamp. A commit- tee of investigation appointed to examine the merits | of the discovery, and the priority of its claimants, shewed, on the part of Sir Humphrey Davey, the | pationt progress of inductive research, in the accor plishment of his object, and on the part of Mr. Stephea- son, an utter ignorance of his rival's proceedings | Such are a few of the works and events of his life. At | this point may the reader not pause, and, for an in- stant. reflect on immeasureable benefits that the Inbors of this great man are likely to affect for | the whole human race, It may be asked, are not the jealousies and asperities of neighboring nations being subdued, by the greater facility of intercourse whic! they have established? .Are not the blessings ot com- merce, by a like means, being extended? Again, it may be arked, have those labors not advanced, and are they not advancing the cause of liberty and order by the more rapid and extensive spread of public opinion, which restrain the tyrannies of derpote, and will, ere | long, sheath the sword of the warrior? And, finally, it may be asked, are these not blessings that ought enlist the gratitude of a late posterity’?

Appropriation for the Blacks, at Martinique and Gua- daloupe—Grand Soirée by the President of the .4s- sembly—Lamartine Demands of the Assembly to be Prosecuted—They Refuse—Departure of 700 Insur- gents from Paris, under Sentence of Transportation The French receive unpleasant news from Mar- tinique and Guadaloupe—they have already appropria- ted 1,500,000f to support the blacks after their emanci- pation, and they now learn that there is much distress in these iclands, and that the blacks are very idle and turbulent. The President of the Assembly has entered into his new hotel, and gave a soirée to five thousand persons ; a fine company of musicians, dancing, and refresh- ments, gave life and variety to the evening; he ap- pearing to be disposed to spend all he receives, in the mode which the Parisians most admiro, and all the press are praising his example, and urging others to give a like circulation to theirfunds, Yesterday, M. Bixio, M. George Lafayette, M. Cor- den, M. Gustave de Beausaint, M. de Cormenin, and M. Lacrosse, were choren Vice Presidents of the Assem- bly in the order here named; the five first were named by the three medium clubs, and the latter by the Club de Poitier. M. Lamanaise again usked the Arsembly to order him to be prosecuted, instead of the g/raut, who only printed what he wrote ; but again the Atsembly refus- ed his demand, and left the law to take its course, Yesterday, also, the Gazette de France was suppressed, but to-morrow, certain journals which have been sup- pressed, are to be set again atliberty. Emile de Gerar- din says his press feeds and clothes three hundred families—has 1,600,000 francs invested, and issues 60,000 copies daily. Of course, to have it suppressed was a serious matter to him; but the government al- lowed him to go on till the third day of the insurrec- tion, which was the most terrible day of all, before it suppressed it. From some indications pretty signifi- cant, General Cavaignac has felt it to be proper to place a body of troops in the house opposite to his ho- tel, which is Rue de Varrennes, which had been some time ocoupied by Madume Adelaide. She was Madame, for she had # secret marriage, and two or three chil- dren, by General somebody, whose name I forget this momont. Yesterday, Ledru Rollin demanded of the Conven- tion that they should fix the time for the discussion of their report, and he asked for next Tuesday; but it was refisted, upon the ground that it could not be printed, with the testimony. by that time. How slowly work is here executed, according tothe numbur of meit employed! The debate is to immediately follow tho printing and distribution of the report. Already par- arrayed upon the question—the extreme right nd the extreme left against the report. England has instructed her ambassador at Paris to enter upon negotiations with France for the achieve- ment of an armistice between Austria and Italy. Even an intervention is spoken of by these two pow- ers, who have entered into the measure with a friend- ly epirit worthy of these countries, and the great. very great importance of the measure To-day, 700 in- surgents condemned to transportation, will leave Pgris for Havre. A commission hay been. formed to decide upon the place and the manner of executiug this sad purpore, The courts are discharging nearly one-half who are examined, among the least implicated. La- martine has done much to stamp the impress of mere upon the French nation, or to give vitality and activi- ty to the principle. The yacht Patapsco arrived ut Boulogue a few days since, and has created a good deal of censation among the French. ‘The aythorities are upon the track of some secret societies in Paris and the departments. Senard is a noble officer. OBSERVER, Panis, August 7, 1848, Attempt to Assassinate Thiers—Female Gamblers—M. Lucien Murat—Louis Philippe’s Trunks, gc. Yesterday an attempt was made, as is supposed, to assassinate M. thiers, at his house, in Place St. George. A little girl, eleven years old, sitting at his door, was shot slightly in her shoulder, and her clothes torn by the ball, which was immediately found on the ground, where it had rested ; but there was no report, and after the most minute examination, no one could be detect- ed. M. Thiers was, in fact, in the Assembly; but a | gentleman was entering his door at the time, who re- | sembled him much in his dress. This incident has created a good deal of excitement ; but suspicion fell upon noone. Immediately after his election, a mob un. dertook to penetrate his house; but these are days when musket balls are somewhat to be feared by certain pro- minent men. Yet the police is most excellent, and Paris never more quiet and orderly, by day or by night, un- der the reign of Louis Philippe, and that is sa; much; for the order then was as perfect as it could be in eo large a city. Seven hundred insurgents were | safely transported to Havre, in the night; but their place of destination is not yet determined. ‘The great railroad in construction, from Paris to Lyons, is arrested at this moment, for want of funds; and the government are desired to assume the undertaking I think the prospect is, that it willdoso This work is of vast consequence ; some parts of the works ure finished ; and millions have already been expended in the undertaking. But capital does not cxist in France as in England, or the United States; nor does the | capacity to execute exist, asim those two countries. The women, joueuses, are again to be excluded from the Bourse. ‘Since the abdication of Louis Philippe, they have been admitted to the gallery; and by telegraphic signals, they have carticd on their gambling in stocks, with the brokers below; but they bave become se noisy and boisterous that it was necessary, om Saturday, to call in the police to pres ‘silence ; amd they are again to be excluded from the gallegies. In England, France, and Spain, women gamble, I think, as desperately as the men. | re seen them gambling for hundreds of dollars at a sitting, in some of these places. ‘The injunction has been removed from the journals euppreesed, and certain of them are again betore the publin, Some of them are pretty angry ; but as the city is still in a state of seige, Kis necessary that they be careful in their language and ideas, ‘The manager of the Keforme is before the court for pub- lishing the article of the “Peuple Constituent,” upon the proposition of M.

The Island Louvien is to be ocoupied by an encampment of two battalions of troops. for the protection of the Hotel de Ville, Lamartine has been unanimously elected member of the municipal couneil of Macon.

There is little doubt that France and England are in the act of attempting jointly tg co-operate to put anend to the war between Ausftia and Italy. M. M.

At the soirée of M.

OBSERVER, Our Berlin Correspondence, Beruin, August 7, 1848, The German Union—Prussia—Dennark—The Cost of the War—Milan, The excitement which prevails here, about the ques- tien whether Prussia is to enter the German Union, with or without retaining her sovereign power as @ State, has lately much increased. All other questions are for the moment superceded by this subject, and on it the attention of the wholv country is rivetted, ag the main point to be settled with respect to the future position of Prussia in Germany Since the revolution there has not been so much agitation, political dis- eugsion, and disturbance in this city, than inthe week past. Every evening crowds assembliog under the Linden, (the Boulevard of Berlin,) have been violently debating the question of the union of Prussia and Germany, and in defiance of the orders of the city authorities, have been disturbing the quiet of the city, in every possible manner, until a late hour. ‘The police forces, consisting of a number of constables, have not been able to disperse these crowds, and aimiort every night in the past week the alarm had to be founded to order out the Burgher Guard. Severai lions of that body then sweeping through the den,and making prisonerd of all who offered re- sistence, had thus to restore quiet. Many imprison- ments have taken place in consequence of these dis- turbances, amoug the leaders on these occasions were many students, and also some of the deputies to the Prussian National Assembly here. Of the latter prin- cipally, ® Mr. Rodbertus, Count Reichenbach, and Mr. Vop Berg, ali belonging to the opposition party in the pr rie are named. In all clubs, poitical societies, and pubitc places here, the questionis contiaually dis- curced, what position Prussia should occupy in Ger- many, Meanwhile, the Prussian government has taken decided steps to guard against any further eva sion of its authority in all matters concerning Prus: from the part of the.centzai government of Germany. A Mr. Von Below has been sent with an extraordinary John, to give explanations as to the reason why the Prussian troops have not obeyed the order of the Mimis- ter of War ot Germany, to do homage to the regent of the | empire. Heis likewise authorised to declare, tuat orders to Prussian troops can oniy be given by the Prussian government, Though the King of Prussia had previ- ously given leaye to the Prussian troops to do homage to the regent of Germany, the order has been since countermanded In fact, the jealousy entertained by Prussia of the executive power of Germany, is daily in- creasing, since a prince of the house of Austria has | been elected as the head ef the German government. | and an Austrian as prime minister. The breach be- | tween the north and the south of Germany, which has | taken place principally ip consequence of this, just att : | the time when a firm union of ail the Stutes of Ger- | uncivilised man, there yawns a gulf which no many Was to be established, is now complete. There is no doubt that Prussia and the smailer States in the | north of Germany following her policy. will hereafter | occupy @ seperate position with respect to the other | right of sending her representatives to foreign courts, and receiving the representatives of foreign govern- ments at her court. Several appointments of diplo- matic agents will shortly be made, by the Prussian go vernment. A Mr. Von Willisen has been appointed | winister to Paris, A great change among the diplo- | | matic corps is taking place at the present moment. In fact, diplomauists are as busy now as they always are, when there s some mischief to be played. That romething of that discription is going on in Germany at present, there is no doubt. Lord Cowley has just Deen sent by the English government to Frankfort. as it is stated, on an extraordinary mission with relation to the Danish war, Itappears in connexion with this, what has been stated to us on the best authority, that Mr. Von Below, who has been sent by the Prussian government to the Archduke John, will likewise treat with the regent of Germany on the subject of the war with Denmark. Thus it is highly probable, if we con- rider how anxious Prussia is toend the Danish war, that the Prussian government is endeavoring to obtuin, through the mediation of England, a special conclu- sion of peace between Prussia and Denmark How very little such astep from the part of Prussia would help to promote the German national interests. and to preserve the unity of Germany, we need not prove ; but it is evident that Prussia has the interests of her comme: in the Baltic, so much by the war. more at heart than the estab! ment of the unity of Germany, by which she derives no material advantage. Denmark wil! be most willing to conclude an armistice, or peace. with Prussia, as ehe would then be rid of her most formidable enemy in Ger- many, Meanwhile, however, another diplomatist, it is suid a friend of Cavaignac, has been sent by the Danish government to the head of the French republic, to ask its assistance for Deminark. The resources of that small kingdom are now exhausted to the last, and without the help of some foreign state, it cannot carry on the war, By decree of the German National Assem biy, at Frankfort. @ part of the troops of all the differ- ent German states have been summoned to fight against Denmark, and the war will be vigorously pur- ued on the part of Germany. Armies trom Austria, Bavaria, Wurtemberg, and other states, will now march to fight, snd. if possible, to conquer Denmark. ‘Thus, the war in the north of Germany will be con- itnued with double force, and the end of it cannot yet beforseen. The cost of this war to Prug-in, by whom it bas, till now, principally been carried on, from the | art of Germany, is estimated at four millions of Fiaters and the damage vecasioned by it to the Prus- sian trade in the Baltic at six millions. The war in the south, between Austria and the Italian people, has lately been successfully continued on the [ye of Austria. Though the Italians must eventually gain the victory—as they are fighting for the holy cause of liberty, and determined to sacri- fice all rather than bear the slavish oppression of Aus- tria—still, the brave Austrian army, under Radetzky, has again advanced in upper Italy, and forced the enemy to retreat, The latest accounts state @ aplen- did victory, won by the Austrian troops at Custosza, and their victorious progress towards Milan, A des- atch, whieh has ages been reseived from Triest ring? accounts of the defeat of Charles Albert, th taking of Peschiera and the capture of the Duke of Genoa. The greatest constern: All the preparations for t that city were made, erected. The fe of Radetzky in Italy is, in the present state of things, of the greatest con- sequence. not only for Austria and Italy, but for Ger- many. and perhaps for the whole of Europe. Tho only happy solution of tho important question concerning Italy. will be, if & compromise can be obtained by | which Austria will give up the greater part of her trans. Alpine possessions. In every other caso, the war must be continued, and will shortly involve other parties. who have, ea yet, remained noutral, but will be forced to tuke a part in it hereafter France Germany ave both pledged to take wn active part in it, if it ehould prove imporsible to settle the question peaceably, and in the mahner just stated.

(From the London News, Aug. 7.] We seem to be approaching a crisis in the fate of the dusky natives of Africa. The news of the negro insurrection at St, Croix, and of the decision of the committee of the American Senate, relative’ to the admission of slavery into the late Mexican | territories incorporated into the United States has been received within a few days of the breaking down of Mr. Hutt’s commitiee To the commit- tee of the British House ot Commons was d ated the task of reporting what are the best means for the final extinction of the slave trade ; after a protracted investigation, and after passing some ten or eleven resolutions which are tantamount to a declaration that the system hitherto pursued by this county to that end is utterly inadequate to produce the desired effect, the members took fright at the novelty of their own views, and separated | without reporting any opinion on the main ques- tion. The committee of the American Senate was appointed to report a bill tor the government of the eH peti territories, which should decide whether slavery was or was not to be one of their “domestic institutions.” ‘The bill reported by the | committee simply declares that the interim go- vernments of these territories shall be torbidden to legislate on that delicate subject. British and American legislators shrink with equal timidity from action with reference to the extinction of ne- gro slavery and the negro slave trade; and in the meantime the negro slaves in St. Croix set before | the eyes of their race an example of emancipation accelerated by means which promise to give the | one it already enjoys. E ¥ The problem, whether it be possible for the co-exist in the same society, on a footing of equality, has reached a_ stage in its progress to- wards ‘a practical solution, that forces the full | amount of its difficulty upon our convictions. We | have no wish to callin question the dictum that | all the powers of the most civilised | exist in « latent state in the yet unciyilised Afri cans. We are as earnest and anxious in our de- | sire, that the Africans should experience the treat- | ment of tellow-men, as the most zealous member | of the Anti-Slavery Society. But we cannot shut our eyes to the fact, that between the civilised and | tribe or race has been able to cross, in less than | the lapse of centunes, and we might add, without | | having the breed so crossed, by intermixture, with | | wholly or partially civilised races, as to render the | legitimate descent of the civilised {rom the uncivi- lised rice somewhat equivocal. There is no re- | cord of a people civilised per saltum ; there 18 no record of any considerable number of individuals, | of an uneivilised race, raising themselves toan en- | tire equality with men of civilised races, And all | experience shows the difficulty and danger of civi- lised communities admitting large numbers of any | uncivilised race to a full participation in the rights | of citizenship. Savages—uneivilised men—are beings with the intellects of children and the pas- sions and physical powers of grown men. They are ineapable of the motives which habitually ac- tuate men ef civilised races. They require other restraints ; they can scarcely be trusted with the | sume immunities. In the British and French colonies alene, can the experiment be said to have been fairly tried of placing a highly civilised race, and a race com- paratively uncivilised, upon a footing of perfect equality. In the trench colonies the result has been a Haitian republic, where whites, and even men of mixed blood, are all but proscribed, and where perpetual anarchy prevails. ‘The English experiment is too recent to enable us to predicate its results with confides but the diminution of productive industry, and the destruction of ca- pital attendant upon it, would seem to indicate that the communities in which it has been insti- tuted, will have a hard struggle to maintain their place among civilised socieues. The full difficulty of the experiment must be frankly admitted, for only thus have we any chance of means being discovered and adopted adequate to carry it out to a successful termination. And upon the practical demonstration of the possibility of the less civilised negro rac*, and the more ci- vilised European race, living together in the same society on terms of perfect equality, depends the possibility of finally extinaprishing. the nefarious and inhuman slave trade. The leaders ot the anti-slavers long ago recognised the great truth | that only by the suppression of negro slavery can the negro slave trade be suppressed. The evi- dence given before Mr. Hutt’s committee amply | corroborates this opinion. After al! the exertions made by Great Britain, for nearly half a century, | to suppress the slave trade, the number of slaves exported from the coast of Africa in 1848, falls short only bad a few hundreds of the number ex- | ported in 1807, The slave trade has been put an | end to throughout save Spain and Brazil. But wherever its suppres: | sicn has been efiected, we find, either that slavery had previously ceased to exist, or that the country in which it continued to exist 1s dependent upon one where it hes ceased, or united under a com. mon government with States equally powertal where ithas ceased. In Brazi! thisis not the case and, in despite of all our efforts, diplomatic an warlike, slavery and the slave trade have grown in Brazil, in exact proportion to the growth of its industry and wealth, ull the slave trade of Brazil alone almost equals in magaitude tn 1848 the slave trade of the whole western world in 1807. | The abolition of negro slavery—the d vising of some arrangement by which the less civilised ra who alone seem competent to labor in t climes, can be ensured the rights of freemen with- out endangering the civilisation of the communi! —is necessary not only as a pre-requisite for thi abolition of the slave trade, but as a guarantee for the morality and rooney prosperity of the com- munities in which these inferior races exist. The tendency of all slavery is to degrade the master as much almost as the slave. Slavery as it exists in those communities of European origin where ne- alone are slaves is an aggravated form of sla- Domestic ery as it existed among an- cient nations, and still exists in Turkey, ane 18 mitigated by domestic ties.

Inpusrrious Gremans.—A letter in the Grand Rapids £agle, trom the colony of Germans at Zeeland, in that county, gives’ some interesting particulars of the settlement of the place.

Potatoes are growing, Which, last March, were in old Holland; they are a chorce, early kind, and are growing remarkably well ; and they have a great variety of garden vegetables and flowers, brought trom the old coun- oy, which are entirely new. There has been an addition to this settlement of some 50 to 60 families numbering in all nearly 400 seuls, who have located some 8 sections, mostly in 40, 80, and 120 acre lots. Many of the settlers are wealthy, and have in contemplation the building of a steam saw and flour mill. The settlers were principally from the pro- vince of Zeeland, an island on the north of Holland; their number wasabout 400. Being without teams, their houses were mostly constructed of poles, such as four or six men could carry; the lumber for rooting, flooring, &c., was procured at the of the Kalamazoo river, at a cost of some $12 at that place. Over 3,000,000 feet of lumber has been used, at a cost of $13 per thousand.” The crops look well, and promise a fair yield. A few years will show this one of the finest improved counties in the State.
