The sympathies of the people of the United States, with the struggle between liberty and des- potism now going on in Europe, are being aroused, as will be seen by the several addresses and reso- Jutions which we insert in this day’s paper. Those addresses and resolutions were adopted at meet- ings held at different places throughout the coun- try, and breathe the genuine spirit of liberty. We are pleased to see this movement, and we hope it is but the commencement of an organiza- | tion that will embrace within its ample folds every State in this vast confederacy. The American | people cannot but sympathize with the gallant peo- ple of Europe, who are struggling against their oppressors, and shedding their blood freely in the noble cause which they have taken up arms for. It they were callous or insensible in this respect, they would be unworthy of their name, false to their destiny, and would shame the immortal men who on this continent, espoused the same cause as the masses of Europe are now fighting for, and who transmitted to them the noble inheritance which they now enjoy. They are not called upon | tosend either armies or fleets to take part in the | great contest ; for, by the law of nations, such a course would be equivalent to a declaration of war ; but no law can prevent them from organising themselves into a league of liberty, and contribut- | ing in money to the support and maintenance of the gallant Hungarians and equally gallant Ro- mans, in the crisis in which they are placed. ‘The aid of the despot of the north, the sovereign | of a nation of slaves, and the sworn foe of jiberty in Europe, has been invoked; and it is quickly granted. The Russian hordes are moving, and threaten to inundate the fairest portion of Europe—to exterminate the noble Kossuth and his valiant band of freemen. France, at the dictation of a President bearing the name, but inheriting none of the virtues, of a Napoleon, has betrayed , her trust, and instead of aiding and assisting the gallant Hyngarians, she is waging war against the people of Rome, who, following the example that the herself set thein, by revolutionizing a govern ment which they did not like, and setting up in its stead one of their own formation, entitled them- selves to her confidence and assistance. But France proved recreant to her duty, and has shown herselt ansensible to patriotism and to liberty. The Han- garians have appealed to Fran but France is silen vading army, which is now desolating the ancient capital of the old world, was the answer. For the purpose of conciliating Austria and Russia, Louis Napoleon spares those powers the trouble of des- troying Italian liberty by uadertaking the dirty | work himself, with the view, we suppose, of ena- bling Russia to devote her whole energy to the crushing of the Hungarians, and perhaps forming a coalition, afterwards, for the restoration of the empire in France, with Louis Napoleon himself at | the head of it. Where, then, can the gallant free- men of Europe look for sympathy and assistance, but to the United States of America—the people who, in a former age, succeeded in battling against despotism, and the same people who have, the glorious epoch of 1776, promoted the cause liberty im Europe, and urged the despot-ridden masses of that quarter of the wi their oppressors, and assert the rights of man? ‘This high distinetion, then, being conferred on the people of the United States, we hope and trust they will not be insensible to the duty which they are calied upon to perform. A response has been made by several cities, in which associations for tympathizing with and assisting the Iu: and Romans have been formed; bot we must not content ourselves with this.

No other city in the 1 rded an sion has been bloodshed In this respect, New York has been an examplar of peace and order. It is true that the late fearful uagedy has caused many of us to hang the head in shame ; but it was the folly, ignorance, and imbe- cility of ovr authorities, and the obstinacy and impertinence of a few officious persons, that caused that outbreak and slaughter. peace Our firemen do not thiret for one another's blood. Street fights, between gangs of desperadoes, are not an every day occurrence. — Philadelphia owes this melancholy reputation to an imbecile prees, and a corrupt police. Why do not the friends of law and order in that unfortunate city, enter into a union for the purpose of reform- ing the city government? In the name of all that is held sacred by geod men, do let some steps be taken to put down forever that accursed «spirit of disorder and Wood, which now rules, st would seem, the fair and beautiful eity of Philadelphia! gu repeatedly the scene of « tl one From Barret Gotana.—By the arrival of the bng Judson, Captain Russell, we are in receipt of | files of the Royal Gazette, published at George- town, British Gurana, to the Hh alt. The Gazette eof the %h says it ia impossible to contemplate the resent financial condition of the colony, without of the gravest apprehension. ; 1c would be an easy matter to find nine hundred ‘Tis open throughout nen perfectly competent to perform the work of === | connected with it. ¢ Romans have done the same, but an in- | from | hundreds of good officers connected with the de- orld to rise against | Our population isa | | and well-disposed citizens. ‘The other night, ata Asvuse or Avtuorrry sy Poticemen.—Almost every person who takes an interest in the affairs of our municipal government, and who watches the working of the complicated machinery by which it is carried on, approves of the present police system. Itis undoubtedly a good one ; but into all systems, | however good, abuses willereep. The authorities are, of course, willing to correct :uch abuses when they are convinced of their existence ; and it be- comes the duty ef the press to make them known, in order that the evil may be remedied. Unfortu- nately, the officers appointed to serve on the police ave subject to be removed whenever it ¢o happens that their term expires during the ascendancy of the money remitted. | ; LUNTARY, CORRESPONDENCE, containing tm- | the politteal party to which they are opposed ; and it ftreguently comes to pass that a well-tried and faithful officer, who knows his duty and whe does is turned out, to make way for some person en- tirely unfit for the place, and whose only recom- mendeuon is that of having * voted for the party during election times.” policemen—faithful, active, and vigilant persons, | who would never flinch from their appropriate, | though sometimes disagreeable duty, and who at the same time would demean themselves as gen- tlemen. But, as matters go at present, there are , too many members of the police department who | have entirely mistaken their vocation. A man may make a very good steamboat runner, or a capital | baggage smasher, and be entirely unfit for the of- fice ot a policeman, It may be that a man will | grace a fighting ring, and yet disgrace the police department, if by any means he should become ii Aman may sweep streets or | | dig ditches to perfection, and yet want the qualifi- | | cations necessary to make a good guardian of the | | public peace. A man may be excessively noisy at | the polls, or whip in voters to admiration, and still ' want those qualifications necessary to make a po- lice officer. ‘The truth is, that the present mode of | appointment is bad, and hence men are frequently | placed in the responsible situation of a policeman, | who, by education and natural disposition, are en- | tirely unfit for the post assigned to them. Men of | violent tempers, end unaccustomed to self-control, ' are placed on duty in a crowd, with staves in their hands or elubs in their pockets, to be used at the suggestion of their ungoverned passions; thus armed, they are as likely, when trritated, to inflict severe injury on quiet citizens—all through imis- tuke, of course—as to perform their legitimate duty. We have he@td of several instances, lately, where the most licentious use of power has been made, by persons wearing the police badge, greatly to the detriment, and personal injury even, of quiet fire, a young man of a most peaceable disposi- tion, while in the prosecution of professional | duties, as a reporter for the public press, was actually felled to the ground bya blow on the temple, given by a policeman with his staff. if the blow had by chance fallen half an inch from where it did, it would, 1 all probability, have | proved fatal. ‘The authorities promptly interfered, ' and the unofficer-like conduct of the ‘star’ will probably result in his dismissal from the depart- i ment. | There are, within our knowledge, several | other instances of the abuse of the “ little brief authority” of officers while on patrol duty, con- sisting of impertinent interferences in matters which did not concern them, and a tyrannical use of the petty power which the municipal regula- tions give them. On one occasion, three gentle- men were enjoying a pleasant conversation on the | corner of Broadway and Walker street, when an ignoramus with a club in his hand and a star on his breast, approached, and ordered them to move on. He was very properly rebuked for his imper- tinence, when he arrested the whole number and took them to the station house, whence they were | in a few minutes released by the alderman of the | ward. On another occasion, as we are informed, | aman of suspicious appearance followed a gen- | for xt is as full of instruction as an industrious bee Tux Wat Srreet Atms House.—The go- vernors of the fashionable whig alms house, down town, have entered upon the duties of the office with great vigor, at all events. If Father Ritchie were here, his eyes would run fountains of tears, and his groans would convulse all Manhattan with a perfect earthquake ot patriotic sorrow. It is, indeed, a “reign of terror” to the pure patriots who have, for years past, dozed and fattened in the Wall street asylum for decayed and indigent poli- ticians. The political effect of all these move- ments is hereafter to be developed. It is to some of the moral aspects of the business that we would now direct the attention of poets, philosophers, and piemen. In the first place, the alarming augmentation of our pauper population, consequent upon the whole- sale removals of the inmates of the down town alms house, presents a subject of very serious con- sideration, Nearly two hundred individuals who have been the recipients of public bounty, are now thrown upon the city. “ New York is all before them, where to choose Their place of rest’’— And it is open to conjecture who is to be their “guide.” Probably, the tremendous moral lesson conveyed in the illustrious achievement of our courageous Mayor and his sapient advisers of the Corporation, on that night when the pavement ef Astor Place was watered by the blood of our fel- low citizens, will prevent any regularly organized assault upon property by this desperate band of rejected patriots; but, notwithstanding all that, thoughtful men can hardly resist some serious forebodings. It is true that the Wall street alms house, like that up town, 1s not particularly well adapted for the cultivation of a spiritjof ac- tivity or energy in its inmates, But necessity 18 the mother of invention, and Satan is always ready to act the part of accoucheur when the pe- riod of gestation is complete. The age, too, is a bustling, inventive age. What, then, we may na- turally enough ask, with some degree of appre- hension—what are these poor, forlorn, destitute, homeless, houseless, wandering patriots likely to do in order to obtain the means of existence? In what pursuits, favorable or unfavorable to the in- terests, peace and welfare of society, are they likely to engage?’ We must not press these specu- lations. Sufficient unto the day 1s the evil thereef. On the other hand, what is likely to be the moral and social influences exercised by the new ap- pointmentst Into what new and alarming condi- tions may not the sudden transit from absolute want—crying want—despairing want—want, to which fathers, and uncles, and friends are un- naturally deaf, but for which the alms-house go- vernors—eternal blessings on their heads !—had bowels of compassion—to a state of plethoric en- joyment, precipitate the new inmates of the gen, teel alms house? Interesting o!d men, and inte- resting middle aged men, and interesting young | men, who for years past hardly knew where to get a glass of grog or a plug of tobacco, now tind themselves miraculously seated sat an overilowing table, and surrounded by all the luxuries of a pub- | lic pauper. The shock must be tremendous. How will it be sustained? ow will the change of regi- | men operate upon different idiosyneracies? What effects may or may not be produced on the moral atmosphere of those regions up town from which many of those new recipients of public bounty have been selected? If the appointment of one scapegrace out of an eminently aristocratic and fashionable whig family, equal the efforts of a dozen bottles of disintectant fluid, or six cubic | feet of laughing gas, what would likely be the ef- fect of the appointment of half a score of scape- | graces out of a single eminently aristocratic and fashionable whig family? Enongh of these philosophical speculations for the present. We shall soon return to the subject; is of honey, or a medical board is of folly, hum- bug and stupidity. Affairs in Mexteo, tleman and lady for some time through several streets, till at length getting tired of being dogged about the city, the gentleman turned round and boxed the fellow’s ears, whereupon he pulled out | a brass star and announced that he was a police- | man, and actually proceeded to arrest the person who had thus, with great justice, chastised him. | We do hot know whether these latter cases ever | came to the knowledge of the Mayor or other leading officers of the city government. We are | glad to see that they act promptly when they know | of the perpetration of abuses of authority, on the part of the police. | It would be well for persons, when they are subjected to annoyances of the kind | referred nove, to go directly to the | Mayor or Chief of Police, and enter their com- plaints. The abuse has grown to such a mugni- | tude that it must be checked. It is due to the partment, that the individuals who commit these gross outrages should be known and dealt with in | a proper manner, The Chief of Police and the | | Mayor will, we have no doubt, see that all such complaints are properly and promptly attended to.

If the city authorities do not attend to this business, and do their duty to the public and to the cause ot science, we shail, ourselves, immediately institute an investigatioa, by competent individuals, and give an elaborate } detailed report on this most important subject. culpable neglect and imbecility of the autho- topics of Tux Mr a th nities their medical officers, are universal reprobation ‘Toe Crrsann on Tt Groe Stors.—Every now ond then a terribly spasmodic crusade is waged by the city authoritees egainst the grog-shops oa Sun- days.

It is, however, well known, that Gen. Arista is not only the soul, but body, of the present administration. | But to commence with el Senior Cuevas. His sto- ry is as mournful as that of the prous Eneas of old, and he thus begins :— Gentiemen: To write a memoria upon the state of the — cipal branches of the administration, and to pre- ttothe august Chambers the means which ought | to be dictated to re-crganise them, is a work extremely dificult, and beyond the ability of the present Minister of Relations, The revolutionary torrent, which bas de- stroyed all, and the mournful spirit of civil discord, have permitted noone to judge with accuracy of the salutary reforms which toa cloae the pub. lie misfortunes, and pla tation that would make ws F many at- tempts, w so many wishes for unter the hopes frustrat the good, but without o us to distrust lees opinion’ of our evils being events serve to strengthen the added to which, is the prone- more, that it is imposible to + in which we find ourrel We gy or resolution to mak they di ters of their own bappin In the next page he continues— like individuals, not act contrary & rare phenoment which could not be explained: th hat we have been. ton permanent and perity, * * ad pros on por polate yortane othing affect the «pirit of d the good faith of both countries. ‘There reelamations relate to Col. Washington's colomntpassing from Menterey to the west, through the Mexican territory, and to some damage done ly the American troops in evacuating the country last summer. After declaring it to be the intention of Mexico to fulfil the trea y in all its particulars, and to observe strictly the laws of nations, the me- moria begins to show symptoms of the schoolmas- ter being abroad, and of some one being thrasked into reason and common sense, by “ the perfidious and barbarous Americans of the North,” as they formerly, in their playful innocence, called the Va kees. The next paragraph is rich. We commend it to the London Times. Only listen to the eweet strain from the Malls of the Montezumas :— What may be the policy of the United States, it is not my provinee to foretcu, for itis not becoming to extol or censure, without the porsession of facts, which time only can develope. But there is no doubt it will be faithful and jest, and that the government of that pation will respect the eaered compact, which ought to be ever in view, in its deportment with Mexico — With @ territory which can hardly be peopied in two centuries, With m prosperity without parallel, favored by all the moral and political elements which ment gradaally the greatness of nations, being nd im strict friendship with other mations and with cut ap enemy ho wishes to deprive them of the benefits which Providence has bestowed upon them a rach po Hey. or unbounded ambition could only precipitate them into a new war against @ people whose weifare increases their comm nd strengthens demooratic institutions om the Ameri ontinent. Having made our bow to Senior Cuevas with muchas gracias, we will turn to the Minister of War and Morine, ¢l Senior General Mariano Arista. As we said above, this gentleman is the whele soul and body, and (with due deferenee to our late war-seerctary, Marcy) the breeches, also, of Herrera’s administretion. On the Srst page, he with the United States of the North being the hands cf the gover put the steial nm: He then treats of the insurrection of Paredes in | mama Ate te BEOVRE Pr vutciadection ue dager 5 Jan—the rebellion in Tabasco—the “buffalo hunt” of ‘Tameulipas—the rising of the population in the South, in Huasteca, and in the Indian States of Pue- bla, and of Mexico—“the war of castes.” Afterthese deplorable events, came the sanguinary and barba- rous inroads of the bandits ef the Sierra Gorda, in the States of Queretaro, San Luis, and Guanajuato. “ These freebooters, undertaking all kinds of ex- cesses and crimes, were intent on siezing the city of Queretaro, after having slaked their thirst for blood and pillage im the defenceless haciendas and ranches.” Several pages are filled with the insur- rection of Yucatan. Another part of the memoria is devoted to “ the frontier of the Republic.” On this subject, a few extracts are made :— It is my duty to explain rapidly, the situation. the power, and the temperament of the tribes that make war, guided by my ownexperience, and the information obtained, ‘The barbarous and most warlike tribes are located, for the most part, in the territory ceded by the last treaty of peace. to the United States. ‘The nations known as the Coyotes, Mimbrenios and Gilenols, di near the dividing line from the mouth of the river Gila, to the beginning of the mathematical line which the river Bravo makes the separation, ‘The first of these carry on perpetual hostilities in Sonora, and the others in Chibuabua, ‘The Apaches and Camanches spread their numerous tribes from the river Puerco, on the confines of Chihua- hua, to the head waters of the Neuces, twenty-five leagues from the Rio Bravo. ‘The numerous hordes of eavagesin this region subsist in bunting the buffalo, and other animals, which abound in this fertile country—and, as | have been informed by different garrisons which I have placed among them, and by captives, who have lived among them for many yeurs, all the tribes united can muster 30.000 warriors, jeaving well guarded their temporary villages, where their families reside. Most fortunately, these savages cannot agree among themselves, and the Apaches and Camanches make war continually, by which they weaken themselves, a3 well asdestroy the power they would possess united and di- rected by a single person of intelligence. ‘The Camanches are numerous and energetic. They are divided into the Caihuas, Tamparicas and Leane- ros. The Apaches are mote courageous than the Ca- manches. and are divided into the Mesealeros and Li- pans. Very seldom have these nations been seen united for the purpose mentioned ; but each in turn unites with others for hostilities, such as the Cados, Charaquies, Quiches.€onchates, and others, who live grounds where the North Americans fight The savages are armed with the light carbine, ar- rows. and the lance; they handle their weapons with much precision; are exeellent marksmen and riders.— ‘Their murcular strength, their immense stature, the rapidity of their marches, and their facility any where tesupply their wants by the bow and arrow alone, make these enemies doubly formidable. They are ca- pable of annihilating our frontier States, if henceforth, the Cs peer gly of the treaty of Guadalupe are not carried out by Mexico and the United State: The most plain and simple method is to extermt he no- madic tribes, whom it is impossible to persuade to be ci- vilized, while they maintain their ascendancy on the deserts. 'To some of these warriors who, naturally as Indians, unite the segecity of man with the instinct of ani- mals, have been attributable the infliction of so man; injuries, and the capture of 60 many women and chil- dren, while they slaughtered, without exception, the full grown men. Those whom the savages annually make prisoners, exeeed six hundred women and chil- dren, and the eagerness which they evince for this, arises from their desire to improve their race by an in- termixture with the whites, From this pleasing picture of rural life in Mexico, wherein the sagacity of the refined Camanche and | Apache is exhibited in a remarkable manner, in keeping*as precious the best portion of their prison- | ers—that is, the women and ehildren, and very wisely putting to death what is useless—the men, we turn to figures and finances. ‘The exposition directed to the General Congress b the Minister of Finances will speak for itself. The fol- lowing statements are all that wecan afford to present of this precivus document ;— they are as sheep without a shepherd.” He upon the singular providence of God in the history of the world—how he cared for man, and provided tor his wants, and a8 population increased, the teeming re- sources of the earth became more and more developed, and by the aid of navigation the produce of the most distant climes was exchanged, and those countries abounding in corn could send their surplus to other eountrics in which there was a deficiency. ‘The diseo- very of this great continent of America was a wonder- ful instance of the providence of God, It opened to the surplus population of the Old Country its fertile and inexhaustible bosom. Even what Is cultivated of ite fruitful soil could supply bread enough and to spare to the whole world, God seemed to have raised up this DAtion not only as @ granary for the old world, but to be'a model, in its free and beautiful institutions, to all other nations, To no country did the United 8 ates afford such au asylum as to the Irish people. Kor that heart-broken and crushed race Providence seemed to have destined this land as a home and @ refuge. They thrived and prospered on this soil, while in their na- tive land they pined in misery and waut. He trusted, however, in the benefieence of Him who cared for even the sparrow, that the day would yet come when the ich, even in Ireland, would be prosperous, happy and ree. It is worthy of remark, that Father Mathew's yoice, during the delivery of the foregoing, was manifest! improved since Monday last, and could be heard uil over the church, Indevd. bis general health has great- ly improved since his arrival in this country —the eli- mate evidently agreeing with his constitution, Ex- citement is also favorable to his beaith, There are many disappointed, that they do not find Father Mathew more eloquent ; but they cannot form any cor- rect judgment of what he was from what he now is, for, though he was never @ Boanerges, he was fluent, and had a very effective style of eicquence, peculiarly his own, He is not yet sufficiently recovered from @ para- lytic attack to speak with his wonted energy. At the couclusion of bis short address, several highly respectable parties requested him to give them the pledge, a request with which he kindly complied, though he had not yet breakfasted. After the service, he took breakfast with Rey. Dr. Pise, and attended St. Jumes'’s Church, at the request of Alderman Mullins. He rests to-day, we understand. On Tuesday, as we before stated. be will receive the ladies, On Wednes- day he will be publicly received in Brooklyn, by the yor and Common Council, On Thursday he will aduinister the pledge at the church of Rey.

His stay at the Irving House terminates on Wednesday, though the Common Council would be delighted to have him as their guest during his sojournin New York, it is not consonant with his feelings to con- tinue so any longer. ‘Mr. Fowler, the phrenologist visited him on Saturday to examine bis head, and takea cast.
