The Hungarian Struggle. ‘The news, by the Canada, is now due by tele- graph from St. Joha, N, B, The public, without an exception, are awaiting its arrival with the greatest anxiety, in order to hear from the brave Hungeriane. We may expect the news to-day; the wires between Boston and Portland were out of order last night. Europe and the United States—Forelgn Po- Mey of the Present Administration. As we ingimated some weeks since, the relations or the United States with European powers are rapidly assuming an aspect of grave importance. The law- Jess abduction of a Spaniard, who had sought the protection of our flag, in our own soil, by the agents ef the Spanish government, and the singular move- ments which have been in progress, looking toa formidable revolution in the Island of Cuba, have aronsed the attention of the whole country, and stimulated the public interest and anxiety to no or- dinary pitch of excitement. Everywhere, all the facts that have as yet come to light in relation to these affairs, are examined and studied with the keenest attention. Conjecture is rite, and many €yes are eagerly endeavoring to pierce the fature. The government, at Washington, finds itself placed Wa cireumstances of no common embarrassing @haracter; and as it has not as yet afforded us any very certain or definite indications of its course and policy in regard to foreign affairs, its conduct adds ‘0 the general uneasiness, and provokes, in some quarters, even no little alarm. It is true, the administration have favored us with a few hints as to their general views about the con- duct of our foreign relations. The proclamation which issued from the Department of State, de- mouncing the projected,or supposed to be projected, movement on Cuba, was in keeping with all that we had reason to anticipate from the present cabi- net at Washington. Various modes had previously been adopted for the purpose of impressing upon the public mind the fixed determination of the ad- ministration to maintain not merely a strict neu- trality—a solemn and dignified non-intervention in European affairs—but an absolute indifference. So the organs of the cabinet, great and small, assured us. So their petty agents, rejoicing in petty clerkships in the various departments, took pains to intorm the world in various ways— therefore, the country was admonished to keep eool, and secure itself against all danger of being fmvolved in the storm which sweeps over Europe, and threatens to scatter the enemies of the people like chaff before the wind, ere its wrath be fully expended. We were reminded that the adminis- tration would, at all hazarda, maintain its frigidity. | Whether despotism in Europe held up its head or ‘was compelled to bite the dust, the pulse of the @abinet at Washington would suffer no interrup- ion in its “temperate music.” What to them were the convulsive throes—the victories or de- feats—of millions on the other side of the Atlantic, er the heaving bosoms and uncontrollable sympa- thies of millions here? They were to behold all wamoved—fixed as the polar star, and frigid as the awful solitades over which its shines. No one then could-have been taken by surprise by the ** proclamation,” or the comments which it called forth in the organs of the cabinet. It was of eourse all right and proper to denounce asa ‘‘nefari- ous movement,” and a gross violation of treaty obligations, the sympathetic response which certain brave and ehivalric American freemen had, as in- dividuals, given to the appeal of the friends of | liberty in Cuba. It disturbed the agreeable repose of the cabinet. But the affair of Rey could not be so summarily dismissed. The abduction of that individual, we need hardly remark, was one of the grossest out- rages that could be commutted by one government wpon another. No higher insult could be perpe trated upon a nation, than the forcible seizure and abduction of an individual enjoying its protection, by the agents of a foreign power. been done in this case? What measures have been adopted to avenge this outrage, and compel | itself to be bullied into a talse security by itsown | or other, or both. And as for the people of the Now, what has | trace this indifference to the perpetual cant about “neutrality,” “neutrality.” So-called statesmen and pohtical leaders have so continually dianed it unto the ears of the people of the United States, that we must only look on in silence at revolutions in Europe,lest our commercial interests should suf- fer, that many men amongst us, glorying in the name of American citizens, are absolutely afraid to cry “God speed the cause of the people in Eng- land, or Ireland, or Rome, or Hungary!” ‘We trust that the administration will not allow song of neutrality and indifference. The man at the had of the government is net likely to be found wanting in case of need. But upon his ca, binet advisers now rests a fearful responsibility. — Let them see to it that the country is tully prepared for defensive or offensive measures, for it ia hard to say when they may be called upon te adopt one United States, let them vindicate their name and Imeage, as American freemen, by a universal, loud, spontaneous, enthusiastic demonstration ia behalf of Hungary, and all people struggling to be free. By public meetings in our cities, and by great gatherings of the people in the open fields, and by eloquent speeches, and by fraternal address- es, and by enthusiastic sheuts, ascending to the heavens, let them testify that their hearts are with their brethren, now called on to bear the burden and heat of the day, in this final and decisive con- flict with the despotisms of the ancient world ! Tus Warering Piaces—Iwroperanve Imev DENCE OF Fasnion.—The season at the watering places is drawing to a close, and before many weeks are over, the thousands of our citizens who are scattered over the country, imbibing the whole- | some waters of Saratoga or of the Sulphur Springs, catching trout and pickerel in mountain streams, | or bathing in the water of the ocean, will r: turn, again ‘o partake in the bustle, excitement, noise, turmoil, and confusion of the metropolis. Notwithstanding the prevalence of the epidemic, and the general unwillingness to leave the city which was manifested in the early part of the sea- | son, the watering places are tolerably well attend- éd, and there is almost as much dissipation, folly, fashion, pretension, elegance, charlatanism, po- verty, wealth, beanty, and accomplishment, at each, as marked former and healthier years. Balls, parties, routes, and excursions of all kinds have been given, attended with the usual display of costly jewelry, the same extravagance, the same amount of flirtation and rivalry, as in former years- ‘There is an evil connected with the fashionable watering places, which has been growing and in- creasing for some years, and which, if no remedy be applied, will eventually banish from them all modest and respectable people, as well as those of moderate means. We allude to the unlimited h- cense, the uncheeked toleration, which is given to fashionable snobbism—ill-gotten (in many cases) wealth, and fashionable impudence, arrogance, and haughtiness, to reign supreme, and to dictate to all who attend such places what they shall wear, whom they ehall associate with, and when they shall walk, talk, or ride, setting down as beneath them and unworthy of their association all who do not act as they impudently dictate. It is soin Saratoga, in Newport, and other fashionable watering places, and is rapidly gaining foot- hold in every place usually resorted to by people in the summer season. The upstart aris. tocraey, these imbecile creatures to which we re- fer, with more money than brains, and more impu- dence and arrogance than either, treat with dis- dain all whose means will not tolerate the extrava- nce in which they choose to indulge for the sake of show—all who do not display a certain amount of jewelry—who donot ride in carriages—in fine, all who do not make fools of themselves as much as hey do. Itseems to be beyond their comprehension, hat when people of sense goto the country, they do so for the purpose of promoting their health and | of enjoying « liwle relaxation from the cares of | business, so that they may be the better able to attend to their duties on their return to the city. And we are sorry to say that in some cases, the impudent pretensions of those fashionable snobs | are acceded to by hotel proprietors, who take no means to check them; and while modest and un- assuming people, who pay as much and well as those pretenders do, cannot get necessary attend- ance, the snobs monopolize the time of the waiters, | get the best seatsat table, and are treated as if they were azhigher order of beings, because they assume to be such, and make a display of profit- able speculations in pea-nuts or codfish. If this system of snobbism is notdiscountenanced —ifa firm stand be not taken against it—if the enobs of wealth or fashion are much longer allow- ed to rule at the watering places, the result will be, | that all sensible people, as well as those of mode- | Tate means, will avoid them as they would the | plague. Such people will purchase country-seats | of their own, or rent tenements in quiet and re- | | ured places, where snobbism cannot penetrate, or goto a distance where they will be free to do as | they pleace, without any impertinent interference. As itis, a great many of our solid and sensible people, who year after year visited the watering- places, have taken this course, and the nomber | will keep on incseasing from year to year, watil the | fashionable watering-places will be deprived of | their visits altogether, and converted imto marts for the exhibition of fashionable ignorance and impudent pretension. Sranisn Esroiwace 1s New Yorx.—It may not be generally known, that the Governor General of | | Cuba has formed a system of espoinage in New Tue Hunoarians.—THe Awmnican Paxss.—It is gratifying to see the unanimity which charac- terizes the tone of the American press on the sub- ject of Hungarian affairs, and the encomiums which are treely passed by all our public journals, without distinction of party, on the brave and gal- lant men who, single-handed, have been, for a long time past, successfully maintaining their ground against the combined forces of both Austria and Russia. In doing so, they only echo the sentiment of the whole mass ot the people of the United States; for we sincerely believe that it would be a difficult task to find an American citizen whose sympathies are not with the Hungarians, or one who does not ardently and sincerely desire that that brave and gallant people may triumph over their enemies, and emancipate their country from Austrian dominion. Yet some of our American journals, in their re- marks on the justice of the cause of the Hunga- tians, and while expressing their wish that they may succeed, make some curious remarks, which have struck us as being very much out of place, and inconsistent with the spirit of republicanism. One cotemporary, the Courier and Enquirer, for instance, in its yesterday’s issue, after hoping that the Hungarians may ultimately triumph, says, “They (the Hungarians) took up arms not in rebel- lion against any lawful government, but in resist- tance to high-handed aggresssiens and outrages upon their ancient and undisputed rights.” The sentiment of the paragraph we agree with, but we cannot comprehend the meaning of the term “law- ful government,” in connection with the Hunga- nian struggle, or with the affairs of any other go- vernment in Europe. In the United States we have a lawful government, but we would like to know where such a thing exists in any part of Europe. If the right to govern emanates from the people, and if government is but the instrument of the people to carry thew will and purposes into action—a sentiment which, we think, will not be denied—then we dare assert that there is not a single solitary lawful govern- ment on the whole continent of Europe, and that the people of every nation in that quarter of the world would be justified before God and man in upsetting and overturning the governments there, and striking to the earth the sovereigns and the potentates whoare at the head of them. Is the government of England the emanation of the peo- ple—the embodied will of the people of that coun- try?—is the government of Austria, or of Prussia, Germany, the Italian States, Rome, or any other country in Europe, founded on the will of the people t Not one; if it were, none of those coun- tries would have any necessity for maintaining large standing armies to overawe the people, and prevent them by the bayonet and bullet from upset- ting their “lawful governments.” It is a misapplication, therefore, to use the term lawful government in connection with European politics, for no such thing exists there. There never will be a lawful government in Europe, unti} the spirit which animates the Hungarians shall have become universal—until kings, princes, po- tentates and popes are sent about their business, and the people reconstruct their governments ac- cording to their own fashion. Tne New Mission To Srarx.—The Hon. D. M. Barringer, our new Minister to the court of Ma- drid, who has been for several daysat the Irving in this city, leaves to-day in the steamship America, tor England, en route for Spain. This gentleman goes to Spain at an important time, and we are pleased to have it in our power to state that he is eminently qualified for the sta- tion he is to occupy, and for the delicate questions he will have to handle in his intercourse with the Spanish government. Mr. B. is undoubtedly fully instructed by the government in regard to our relations with Spain—with what course to pureue in relation to the abduction of Rey, from New Orleans—and also, how toact in regard to the contemplated invasion and revolution of the Island of Cuba. ‘These movements, affecting our relations with Spain, have assumed the gravest consequence, and in che hands of Mr. Barringer, will meet with that attention their character demands They may re- continent, and perhaps to the whole of Europe.
