New York, Monday, August 27, 1849. Notice. ‘We understand that Wm. A. Cornwall is collecting webseriptions, in the interior of this State, for the New York Herald, He has no authority to obtain s single subscriber, or to receive a cent on our account, He | ‘was onee our correspondent in Albany, but ceased, somo time sinee, to act in that capacity. The Hungarian Demonstration. ‘The great Hunganan demonstration, for which arrangements have been making for some time past, will take place in the Park, at four o’clock this after- moon. It premises to be most brilliant and imposing, and while it will encourage the people of Hungary to persevere in the good cause which they have un- dertaken, toa glorious end, we are not without hope | ‘that its influence willbe felt by their combined and allied enemies. New York, the metropolis of the new world, 1s about to deliver the sentiments of five hun- dred thousand free Americans; and we hope that the vessel which will next sail for Europe, after this demonstration shall have been carried te Hungary, will convey to her noble and gal- lant sons the recognition of their independence as a sovereign people by the government of this great republic. We fear that through the dilato- Fiousness of the cabinet at Washington, the Uni- ted States will not be the first great power to re- cognise the Iungarian republic. If she be de- pnved of this right—this great privilege, the people of the United States will know whom to blame. If through the tardiness of the cabinet, they will know on whom to visit their just indig- nation—whom to hold responsible for their disap- pointment. The President himself we are per- fectly satiefied, is ready at any moment to gratify the Amencan people on this subject; and why, we ask, do the cabinet hold back—why do not the con- stitutional advisers of General Taylor at once yecommend the measure? It is all the Hun- gariens want, and why delay a measure so just and so important to the cause of freedom at this particular crisis in Europe? If their inde- pendence and nationality be recognised by the leading powers of the world, it renders wncertein the probability of either Russia or Austria being able to eflect a loan to carry on the warfare, while it would enable the Hungarians to borrow what funds they need to finish the work they have so gloriously commenced, and rout all the remaining forces that their al- ied enemies can bring into the field against them. It may emphatically be said that the fate of free- dom in Europe, for half a century to come, de- pends upon the issue of the glorious struggle in which the Hungerians are now engaged. If the United States can throw its influence into the soale in favor of freedom ; if, by simply recog- nising the independence of Hungary, it can enable that power to contract a loan sufficient to carry her sons through thaf strugg'e, and establish her inde- pendence, it will be criminal to withhold mach jonger. The United States will be false to its mis- sion if it do so. The Hungarians have had a go- | vernment de facto long enough to entitle them to | this acknowledgment at our hands; and we fear | very much that England, even, will be in advance ef us in recognising its existence, unless we are expeditious. If such be the case, what an uaplea- sant predicament will it not place the people and government of the United States in? We tely upon the good sense of the originators and getters-up of thie movement, of the officers that will preside, and of the thousands that will be assembled on the occasion, to resist promptly the »trusion of any extraneous influence in the pro- ecedings. It will be simply a demonstration of the citizens of New York, in favor of Hungarian liber- ty and nationality. It has nothing to do with Fou- rieriem, or socialism, or associationism, or any similar wild and destruetive theory. If any at- tempt be made to “ hitch on” anything of the kind, it is to be hoped that it will be promptly put down. Of course, a foll report of the proceedings and epeeches will appear in to-morrow’s Herald. For the firet time in many years, we now behold the President of the United States making a tour of the country, not as the representative of a successful political party, but in a far nobler ebaracter—in the character of the chief magistrate of a great republic, elected by the free suffrages of RI III 15 Ry ea RTH ha NINE ORE Hs SBI HW in the public confidence reposed in Ge- neral Taylor. But the people, as they greet the President, seem almost to overlook the fact, that he has been five months in power ; for, avoiding any reference, or direct reference, at all events, to the course and conduct of the cabinet, they speak still in the same language of hope and anticipa- tion with which they hailed the entrance of Ge- neral Taylor into the White House. They still anxiously look for good things in the future. They do not express gratitude for what has been done. They do not lavish praises upon the ad- ministration. They do not glorify the cabinet. They carefully separate the President from the cabinet. In one word, it 18 the President, and not the cabinet, that is popular! No one can shut his eyes upon this great fact— it ie the President, and not the cabinet, that com- mands popular confidence and popular regard. General Taylor himselt appears to recognise this truth. He has, in fact, gone from the cubi- net to the people. He has set out on no mere pleasure excursion. His eyes and his earsare open. Indeed, he frankly tells the good people of Penn. sylvania, that he comes among them to find out for himself what they wanted. But the cabinet are his “ constitutional advisers!” Never miad.— General Taylor goes to the people for their advice. He himself says so, in his own frank, open, manly way. How, indeed, could General Taylor avoid the conviction that the peopl@have not been satis- fied with the cabinet? Look at the result of the late elections. The people are giving General Taylor an independent House of Representatives. None of the great political parties will have the control of congressional action next winter.— There will be four parties in the House, neither in a majority. There will be the Southern whigs and the Southern democrats, each with their peculiar party tendencies, but yet standing aloof from their Northern party associates. The “ free-soilers” will constitute another party. ‘Then there, will be the disappointed office-beggars and ejected oflice- seekere, and the cabinet party, per se, a ‘‘ corpo- ral’s guard” of needy, greedy, and suppliant tools. Thus, the President will be left peculiarly free to carry out his pledges to administer the govern- ment in accordance with the will of the people, as expressed through their regularly elected repre- sentatives. With such facts etaring them in the face, it is really astonishing to find the party organs at Wash- ington s0 resolutely bent on misrepresenting public opinion and the real state of affairs. Both unite in representing the President and the cabinet as in- dissolubly bound up together. The Union pours out column after column of servile abuse upon the President, holding him accountable for every act of the cabinet, and denouncing every act, be it right or wrong. On the other hand, the Republic, which has taken the place of the defunct Jntelli- | gencer, exhibiting a little more vigor than its gouty, sthmatic predecessor, also persists in denying Gen. Taylor’s individuality, and making hin and the cabinet one and indivisible, lavishing upon the whole bunch of them the most extravagant eulo- giums for everything that they have said, done, and suflered. Both are altogether in error. Gen. Taylor has not been swallowed up in the cabinet. He still maintains a distinct existence. He is not to be held responsible for the errors and iniquities ef his cabinet. Why has not the Republic the courage to join issue at once, and go into a full examination of the present position of the cabinet t Is it prepared to justify the course of Ewing and Collamer? The Republic deals a back-handed blow to some papere, which it designates as pre- tendera to “neutral relations.” Now, we are no “neutral.” We are open, above board, and inde- pendent. We stood on independent but not “ neu- tral’ ground, when we nominated Gen. Taylor for the Presidency, long before any member of the eabi- netat Washington held up ins hand for the old hero. Two years ego, we became acquainted with the | sterling qualities of General Taylor. We have no | doubt at all that he will come upto the mark at the | proper time, and exhibit, in the most decisive and emphatic manner, his indignant sense of the decep- tion practised upon him, and not upon him alone, but upon the whole country, by the cabinet, in whose hands he had reposed so much generous confidence. It were an easy task to enter into minute details, in order to elicit the most convincing proof of the | duplicity and treachery of this cabinet. Let it | suffice to reeall to the minds of our readers the nomination of McGaughey, as one instance of de- ception on the part of the cabinet. General Tay- Jor, as he himself has so repeatedly declared, was not a politician—he did not know the personal cha- Tacter of applicants for office—he was necessitated to repoee trust in his cabinet, with regard to remo- vals and appointments. He did repose that trust. lle confided in them as honorable men, who knew | his position and his*pledges. What do they do?— | They urge him to make an appointment which was repugnant to the feelings of the great body of the American people, in order to promote their own selfish, contemptible pur- | poses. So it wasin the case of Webb. Every | one, at all conversant with the sentiments of General Taylor on this subject, was well aware ment of Mr. Webb to a foreign mission. The cabinet knew it. They all knew it. We our- selves kaew it in the month of January. Yet, in the face of all this, that unscrupulous cabinet shameleeely set to work to gull poor Webb, and lead him to believe that he would be made a minister plempotentiary, though he had no more chance of the appointment than we had of being made Pope of Rome? We could go on malti- plying instances of similar duplicity, meanness, and unfaithfulnees to the President, on the part of his cabinet. But enough at present. Indeed, the | exposé does not appear to be needed. Despite of the desperate efforts of old Truman Smith—the | common hack or seullion of the whig party—and his confreres, the people in all the States where ' elections have recently been held, are speaking out quite intelligibly their opinion of the cabinet. | that he was irreconcilably hostile to the appomt- | locteat aaa Canapian Arrams.—Neither the proceedings of the famous British League, at Kingston, nor the re- sult at which that bedy of wise men arrived, have, it seems, quieted the excitement which has exist- ed in Canada so long ; nor hasit acted as an emolli- ent to the pains which the body politic is suffering; nor is there any probability that there will be peace or quiet in Canada for a long time to come. Canada has become a second Ireland, and the Britich government are now reaping the fruit of the unprincipled and inhuman policy which it planted in both, by encouraging distinctions and fostering enmity, hatred and ill-will between diffe- rent parties and different races. That government pitted Irish against English, and Protestant against Catholic, in Ireland, on the principle divide et im- peria, 80 that it could keep both in subjection ; and in Canada, it has pitted Englishman agains, Frenchmen and Orangeman against Catholic. The result 1s the same in both countries, In both, an impassable gulf separates the different races and the communicants of the different churches. A brother’s hand is lifted against a brother, and ex- termination is the watch-word and battle cry of each faction, The whole colonial system having been explo- ded, England now desires to que the spirit of faction which she created in Canada, but she finds it impossible to do so. The party so long tavored by the crown, at the expense of the French, who so long enjoyed the honors and emoluments of office to the exclusion of the habztans, are not wil. ling to remain deprived of the sceptre which Eng- Jand placed in their hands, and, instigated by ani- mosity towards the French, have taken every means, fair and foul, to dispossess the latter of power and get reinstated themselves. Part of their system or plan of operations was the cry of annex- ation, with the view of preventing the Governor- General from signing the rebel indemnity bill. It failed as regards his action. It was renewed with greater force, for effect in the English market. It failed there likewise. Then the dernier resort, annexation to the United States, was to be pur- sued. The celebrated League accordingly assem- bled in Kingston, but instead of revolution and an- nexation being resolved, resolutions of loyalty to Britain, and a recommendation for a federal union, were adopted, the members adjourning to the notes of God Save the Queen. But as we have already said, the decision to which the League arrived, has not acted as a pana- cea for the troubles of Canada. The animosity ex- isting between the two races is as intense and as bitter asever. It shows itself on every occasion, and we fear willfind vent, one of these days, in some disastrous and bloedy conflict between the two races, that will make the streets of Montreal run red with gore. We look for nothing else in Canada; and when the conflict will come, no one can tell. As it is almost certain that a general elec- tion will take place before very long, we may with confidence expect the occurrence’of some dreadful scenes on the occasion. The mode of voting in Canada is viva voce, and as the whole nation will, of course, know for which candidates the voters will give their votes, bludgeons, sticks and guns epponents. Such things are expected by the Ca- nadians themeelves, and they look forward to them as matters that will certainly take place. Were the election to take place at this time, such are the feelings of the people, that murder, arson, in, surrection and riot would ensue, from one end of Lower Canada to the other. In the upper province, the ultra Britons would have it all in their own way, because they comprise the great majority; and the terrorism which they would resort to for the purpose of preventing the minority from voting, would give them the day, by scaring their oppo- nents from the polls or hustings. The desire to get md of French ascendeney and French domination, has been at the bottom of the excitement in Canada for years past; and as British | ascendency became more improbable from time to rican republic was never seriously entertained by the people generally. It was confined to a small party, con | but the influence of that clase in Canada is very slight. are expected to take place in Canada, may occur betore the general election takes place. The trial of the persons recently arrested for burning the Parliament House may bring them on, and they may possibly end in a declaration for annexation to the United States, not founded on patriotic mo- tives, however, but simply on expediency. disorders break out, the British party will have to the troops likewise ; and if matters assume that shaye, the Britons in the upper province would likely fly to the assistance of their brethren in Lower Canada, and the whole of both provinces, consequently, would then be in a state of rebel- lion and insurrection; @ declaration of annexa- tion to the United States, as a dernier *resort, would probably be adopted ; and England, caring but very little about the Canadas, would soon abandon the contest, and allow the revolted co!o- nists to hammer out their own salvation, or their own destruction, in their own way, by annexing | themselves to the United States, or in any other | manner they might think proper.

He repels alto- gether, and with becoming indignation, every charge and insinuation made against him on this occasion, and thinks that American German citi- zens engaged in mercantile business, as he was, ought to be able to visit Europe on business, with- | proceeding down Fulton street; but stopped at St. On arose between the men and boys belonging to engine No, 14and engine No. 20, and as No. 20’s men were the strongest party, engine 14 was eaptured, after a desperate fight with stones and clubs, and carried some distance up Broadway, where, after defacing the en- gine, they lett it, and the 3d ward police eonveyed the engine back to its quarters. ‘The capture of this engine, as a matter of course, united their strength with them, and last evening, (Sundey,) at an alarm of fire in Spruce street, a con- eentrated force of near two hundred boys and runners, belonging to engines 14 and 21, marched in a body, armed with stones and clubs, down Cedar street, tothe engine house of 20, Here « hooting and yelling took place, stones were thrown and seyeral were injured.

Vienna, July 11, 1849, Mr. Epitor:— 1 find, our morning edition of this day, an ac- count ofa certain demonstration sald to have been made here, which is so entirely destitute of truth, and so injurious to the character of the country which | have the honor to represent, that | should be guilty of & gross negleot of my duty, if it were possible for me to suffer it to pase unnoticed and unanswered, It appears, from the article! refer to, that certain individuals bave arrived here in this elty, who call themeelves American citizens, and who have given it out that the; bearers of 8 certain sum of money, fs sent out trem the United States of America for the students of the Univeral of Vienna, and that they do not scruple to say, that both money and arms were ready to be supplied to the students and others, from the aforesaid United States of America, if the persons referred to are citizens of North Ame- rica, it can easily be proved by their passports. If tl are official agents of the government of the No: American Union, charged with the commission of sup- plying sid (by money and arms to the German people, nothing would be more easy than for them to prove their official character. If, however, they are only agents of the German residents of New York, that might easily be proved, though | am of opinion, trom the following reasons, that even that is very much to be doubted. Ist, Because in none of the different public meetings held in New York by the Germaus residing there, either at Delmonico’s, on the 11th of April, or in the M. Collong auction rooms on the 15th, nor in any pub- lic meetings whatever, was there any proposition made for sending money to Vienna, nor were the names even of these individuals mentioned at any ef those meet- ings. P ai . Beeause, on beard the steamship America, in whieh several persons who had visited the United States were returning to Europe, nothing transpired, nor wat known or heard, of such from the Germans of New York, ‘Sdly. Because the individual referred to comes from oot va where he has been staying @ month and @ baif, ® commission use he has studiously avoided preventing deny they wheeled back and went into a public house in Park Row to have adrink, They marched two and two and were stripped for fight, seme of them having stones in their hands, when they left the public house in Park Row, They promised to have a fight at twelve o'clock, when the watch changes; but at that hour, and fer some time after, there was no appearance of disturbance. It was stated it was arranged to give a false alarm, in order to bring the belligerents together. But this does not appear to have been carried out for this time. Theatrical and Musical, Broapway Tueatne.—The attractions at this theatre to-night are sufficient to crowd every department. In- deed we shall be much suprised, ifit does not present the most brilliant audience that have ever congregated within its walls, If our readers should ask why? We answer, that one of the best operas, containing some of the most sparkling and beautiful musical gems, is offered for the amusement of the patrons of this elegant dramatic temple. The opera is ‘+ Norma,” el will be sustained by Signorina Tedesco. Nee ter into detail as regards the musical ac- quirements and inimitable vocal ability of this dis- tinguieh artist? It is heard sweet intonation! with her melodious warblings and perfectly even bril- Tiant shakes, require no eulogy from us, but simply to announce Tedeseo plays Norma, Added to this at- tractive feature, are three other eminent artists, Signora Vita Carenti takes the exeellent part of ‘Adaigica. ‘This lady stands high in her profession and will be an able assistant to Tedesco. The duet between these famous vocalists, where Norma is presenting her children. in order to their protection 4, *Take them, I implore you,” will be worth the admiesion money.” The part of Pollione will be represented by Signor Arnaldi, and that of Oroveso, by Signor Novelli, whose deep volume and clear tenes have made him a general favorite. Tho entertainments wil conclude with the the romantic and gorgeous bal let of * Giselle,” Prince Albert being sustained by one of the cleverest artists that bas visited this country, and that of the bewitching Giselle by Mlle Blangy. ‘Those to me, the accredited representative of tes at Vien hav: n no notice whatever of , were it not that they are calculated to aflect the character of my country unfavorably, and were they not also in direct and diametrical opposition to all the fixed and established public principle, con- seerated by the uniform practice of the American government. The government of the United States maintains such « filendly understanding with the imperial government of Austria, that if it were capable of coun. tenancing such # proceeding as that of these indt- viduals, it would be guilty of violating the laws of nations in such @ traitorous manner as would be utterly unworthy of an honorable people and nation. But, independent of the duties which one nation owes to another with which it has friendly, relations, the public policy of the North American Union, ever since its first existence, has always been that of | fnterfering with the domestic institutions ef States or vations. ‘The inviolable law it bas adopted in particular, as its unifirm rule of action, is ex- P d in the familiar words, * No futerference.” This | policy she har always held towards other nations, while | abe pursues the rame just course in her own affairs at home, undiverted from it by any circumstances.
