Our London Correspondence. des Lonpon, August 17, 1849. The Condition of England—The Condinon of Ewrope—Aristocracy and Democracy, &c., &¢. ‘These islands are ‘n a state of real tright, which pervades all the thinkers, and most of the writers and talkers upon the amazing phenomena of the ‘continent of Europe, as well as of the United States. The systematic effort to keep out the ‘Fight from the British people, on the subject of self- government, is less and less successful; and the whole of this despotism is reeling on its base. So- stalled constitutional monarchy 13 hastening to its end; and the distressed and embarrassed state of its defenders reminds one of the condition of -those two hundred unfortunate old cavaliers, in bag, wig, and sword, who stayed up all mght at the Tuileries to dyke out the populace, bent on having Louis XVI. prisoner in their large embrace next morning. The fresh energies of the peoples once aroused, are irresistible, and neither the dishevelled guardians of royalty in the last cen- tury, with their puny weapons, nor the panic stricken defenders of the same imposture in the ‘present, with their pens, can breast the rapidly ad- vancing tide. The law of nature bids that tide to rise—the law of Ged bids it swallow up, like another Red Sea of destruction, the same unjust -and persecuting hosts who have, in our day, huag swith board and blade on the perilous but vulgar track of Pharonh. The people are now the chosen of the Creator; the poor are God’s anointed. The hugh and primitive right of self-government has become the aspiration of the mass, and the pre- «sumptuous eacrilege which dictates them to in- acrnbe “God and my right” on the crowa of England, 1s hastening to the ignominious end of punishment, or, at least, to the disgrace of a fall. “What insult and nonsense is it not, in such an enlightened age, for a weak woman to parade herself under that inscription of divine right, through those realins where live and breathe only to toil and suffer so many degraded millions of <ub- jects, stricken with the curse of poverty cowa below the estate of the slave himself? Aad, to amake it worse, the falsehood is painted apon an efligy, for the Queen of England is but a pappet in the-hands of the real masters of the people. The oligarchy of vobles wre the absolute lords of those British heads and British hearts, whose hosts only require the breaking of their chains to emalate sthe popular triampbs of the Union and of Fraace. ‘The might tread of the peeple of the two great republicy shakes the solid earth in these islands. and the composed faces of the grand and td wear the expreesi of excitement and alara ‘The United States have started forward so vi- gorousiy upon the road of pir en thacit is not possible for the aristocrats of Englind to cvaceal the march of events; wor will the cherished expe- dient of the press (which resorts, so far as you are concerned, to babstual lying.) any longer avail. [t is impossible to keep back, or to pervert the lesson which you are teaching your oppressed aad ex- ploited brethren here, in regird to the interests and dutes of nations. There are many places all over England, Ireland, and Scotland, where voa may heer the echo of thet noble phrase of Jeffer- gon, “obedience to tyraats 1s resistance to Gud;” and even peasants are to be tound, who the arled despots of their fielis withstand; and students, whe have the courege to think that Cromwell was guultless of his country’s blood, and to protit by his example. 7 ae But the splendid phenomenon of a republic in France is yet more startling than your ewn ex- ‘ample, even added to the precept, Go thoa and do likewiee,” which the Herald and other Am-ti- ean papers propagete io their European edition “There the structare of self goverament stands, in the plain sight of the people of Englind, upon ite two feet of universal suffrage and uawersal elig bility to office. It lifts its lofty form up to the gaze of the remotest and most wretehed tenant of the Connaught eabin or the Coraish mine, and invites him also to the work of freedom and iadependence. Hosule is that phenomenon, of course, to the ex- ecrable administration of the neighboring state, and to the British Constitution; but it has euly words of hope and eacouragement for those who are, by the evils of a government in which they Kave no part, crashed to the earth, and, iodeed, while yet alwe, half-buried with its weight end cruelty. This mute appeal to the people ot England his more than the emphasis of language, for it springs from the heart; and it makes its way withont revistance, becanse itenters into the heart to which it is directed. It is im- possible to retain the British people in their abject subjection, as Jong as that injustice is comnbatted by the reproofs of France and America; bat it is from the former that comes the nearest and most menacing danger to the adverse system ‘The dilemma of the oligarchy is by these means becoming daily more critical. But they are not sleeping apon the mine ; | -quick they are nware of their peril; they iatend, ag mach ap possible, to prolong their nathority, [will mike short work with the verification of both these propositions ; and, having demonstrated them, 1 Fill ask the people of New York to inquire into aheir own duty, and to come up at once to the height of their power, and of their responsimlity for their safe direction of that popular cause which is se rapidly giving them the lead ot affairs at home and abroad. ‘ They feel it to the | wad the United States; but im ta:t, underneath that surface, all the currents of power are attack- ing the example of both, and the existence of the latter government. As to the p-oole and inatitu- tions of the United States, they are presented to the penple of England in such terms by the Londoa prese, that there shall be no symouthy between them. Sneersat the character of your function- aries and journals, and ridiculous passages (real or counterfeit) of passing history, are scattered through the paper. New York is grouped with nna, Berlin, and Rome, as being periodically bullied by mobs; and the condition of the Western settlers is represented to be miserable in the ex- treme. And lately, the cholera has been employed logically, as an argument agaiust vou The great- eat pains have been taken, to show that an im- mense proportion of the people, especially in the new regions of the country, have bera cut #ff; aad emigrants are frightened, by being told that the are almost the only victims, Bat their princi affair is not with you; you xre too far off t4 create continual distress, or to make manifest in thia man- ner its worst symptoms.

The day opens upon it, and mght has no vigils it does not ekeep. Every English paver has its correspondent at Paris, whose paid vocation 1t is to he about and slander the republic, in every form of ridicule and falsehood, reiterated every dav. The same thiag is done in all the other capitals; and at Vienna, and Berlin, also, the Times advised the kings of Prussia and Austria to bombard their sabiecta, of both sexes, and of all ages and conditions At London was concocted the hardy and confounded lie now everywhere reiterated, that a hindfal of strangers compelled the people of Rome to acknow- ledge their detestable vices and crimes—the ehief of which was repnblic:nism.

Lonvon, Aug. 18, 1819. The Imperial Conspiracy Against Repuh'icaniszm— The Pleasure Trip of the Quien—Venice Before Her Pall, &¢. &c. Republican opinionsare inveterately, but warily, attacked in Europe, through all the organs of mo- narchy and aristocracy, headed by those of the British ohgarchy. The war 1s counselled and con- ducted in London, whence lie extended in every direction the wires of communication with the enemies of the human race ia Berlin, Vienna, and Rome, and St. Petersburgh, and even in Paris. There is a constant, intimate, perfectly telegraphic inteltigence of every movement in this campaiga against human rights, kept up with the continent. Lights are always burning ia the dens of conspiracy at Downing street and Printing-House square, where the head and heart of the great eabal plot io permanence and concord. Meanwhile, the royal pageant cruises about in the waters of Ire. land and Scotland, to distract public attention, and to carry off, by its decoy, all whose curiosity might be properly directed. He who thinks that the little uneasy head which wears the crown is good for anything in the contest of principle, now so fairly opened, mistakes entirely the nature of the English eystem. To weigh the crown itself in the scale of forces drawn up in such hostility to freedom and progress, is hardly just; for the crown ot England has no political power. The error of a contrary opinion is as great ag the kindred misapprehension that under the same system the people of England have the ehghtest agency in the government. They have none whatever. They are nothing, | and cannot do anything in polities. They are mere ciphers, which might as well rot be counted at all, for they stand entirely apart, without the slightest power of making themselvesjseen, or felt, or heard, | or understood. The so called representatives of the people in Parliament, being at the utmost one- teventh of that perfectly inimieal body of aris- tocrate, is nothing but a guise for hypocrisy and a theme of contempt, by any person instructed in the secret. An oligarchy of about one thousand men send the majority of members to the Com- mons, and none but p delegates. of course, sit amongst the peers. As much as five millions of The privileged classes have their most sensit ‘feelers in the daily and periodical press, priacipally | assued at London. Every article on general poli- tics, which appears in the former, might be cen- sulted to detect the presence of alarm Self-preser- vation breaks down, with its great law, all coaven- tions ; and despite the dictates of pride, and the most vigilant diseretion, the hirelings who write for them «betray the weakness within and the danger without. Their position of antagonists to the plain rights and interests of Englishmen is hazardous, for the day be Neate is notte be arrested in its ap- proach, nor will its sentence be suspended nor mie tigated. , for instance, into the Times. any morning, and you will discover all the symptoms which just now are a sort of epidemic agae am t the cisatlantic fraternity of edvors. If ¢ np the quarterlies, you will find abundant ev in the most outspoken fears about the duration of the monarehy. Time allows me bit two extrycts taken from the Quarterly for July, (art. &) “Mr. Bache warned asof the inserutable influence, whether for good orevil, of France on | destinies of Europe in general, and especially on_ Engl a this great authority is @ sufficient justification for our contiaued en | deavors to awaken the Eoglish public to a livelier interest as to the revolutionary principle which has in been triumphant in France, and which we are convin jormidable progression amongst ourselves.” § ch for the bevinuing ef the ar- ticle. We add only the conelading sentence which sume up, by an explicit admission that the mo- narchy 1s in danger. “On the whole, we regret to s@ay that we have never concladed a review of the ate of our own country, or ef Enrope, with less comfort for the present, less of confidence in the foture, or with a greater perplexity as to the probable solution of the complicated ditfcalties that are gathering round the British monarchy ” It is evident enough that the aristecracy, and its runners and editors, are alive to their danger; but they are incessantly engaged in endeavors to meet it. Their words indicate their seave of the erisis “But their deeds epenk louder than words. resort to these. ‘e may leara mach of the con- dition of an enemy from his hostilities These chostil from a wise foe, are founded on some system.

Venice is impregnable, if the mer- chants and mechanics ot your city break the stupid blockade of Austria with provisions, and with arme and munitions of war, freighted in your un- rivalled chips. No other people, nor any other ocean or inland city, can aid her heroes and mertyre, now fainting frem watching more than fiuhting, end exhausted lesa by the enemy than by honger.

Yee, the m children of Venice are being ruthlessly starved to death by brutal Austrians, who surround their homes with death and horrors not to be named, beewuse the republic of Venice has resolved to rise again from her blue waters, as the Phenix rvs afresh from her wonted fires. The h-nious hombard- | iv nts of the different cities of Germany and [taly, | where the strong and the feeble were crashed into 8 promiscuous mass by the bombs and balls of the same ferocious enemies of mankind, present oaly another phase of their unerriog appetite for the destrvetion of all that is noble and gl yet = The > a t ¢ 3 = = a 2 5 = > 2 thet command ! impressed apon the hamin | clay as it les in the cradle the instinct of self-preservation, and side and side with it— the command t+ better your conditioa—have in all time been the best beloved of those who record events.

But in the case of Venice, very lately there has been exception made even at Paris, where Britieh influence is constantly at work with vernment in leading it into temptation, and de- vering ittoevil. At where Lord Nomanby and a host on aristocrats are in pervetnal conepiracy in favor of monarchy, and where @ulig- want belches out twice a A of the London prese, even the hi ppenking out tor Venice.
