There is not in Europe, a nation better prepared for war—not one illumi- nated by brighter intelligence, or fired with warmer patiiotism. Ina European war, Prussia must take sides with France and England, or lose her na- tional independence. She, too, must fight for liberty, or be crushed by the hoof of the Costack. Greece and Turkey are the natural enemies of Russia—they have fought her from the beginning, and they will oppose her still. One southern nation is still left—Italy. There can be no doubt where her twenty-five ‘millions will throw their strength. Crushed ‘oy despots at | home ; intimidated from »jroad ; betrayed, out- roged, trampled into the dust, she is Italy still. And this means that she js the mother of republics, —ihat history, for tvventy-five hundred years, 18 filled with her gloyy—that the love of liberty still burns, a living. eternal fame in her breast. Three years ago, upaided and alove, in defiance of Aus tria, her heveditary foe, aud in the face of all Eu- rope, she began what then seemed to all but her- self @ mad and hopeless struggle of extorting con- stitutions and guarantees of liberty from her do- mestic tyrants. She did it. She brought every prince im the Penmsula to sue for his crown—to beg back the sceptre of his ancestors, Pius IX, | the voluntary, self-impelled, generous mover and head of this great revolution, was the idol of Italy il be put forth his hand to take back the coustitue many Hall, We publish in another part of to-day’s paper, a sketch of the proceedings at the ratification meet- ing at Tammany Hall, last evening. Contrary to the general expectation, there was no disturbance of any consequence—in fact, le: such gatherings—and the nominations were all confirmed. There was a little sculiling between 2 few of the democrats present; but, on the whole, the meeting passed off very peaceably. The Austrian Kmplre— its Kelations to | Europe—lho Finat Pate of Hangary and | Kossuth. Three years ago, Austria presented an impregna- ble and unbroken front to the world. Her voice was listened to with respect at the council board of nations—her armies were invincible—her great minister, Metternich, who for nearly half a cen- tury hed guided the diplomacy ef Europe, was the dictator of her policy—her Vabject provinces obeyed her imperious will, almost without a murmur—her commerce was extending m all directions—the arts were flourishing throughout her domimions— proeperity was written upon her past history, aad there was no sign of decay visible in the future. ‘The common observer saw no indication of an ap- proaching dissolution. The oldest statesman in BHurope regarded the House of Hapsburg as the bulwark of thrones. Such was the position and aspect of Austria three years ago. What is her position now ? From being one of the greatest powers in the world, she has become the slave of Russia, her chief rival. By violating her faith with Hungary, she quenched the loyalty of that brave nation in a day, and lost for ever her hold on the noblest kingdom in her empire. She could not subdue Hungary— for she tried it; victory seemed chained to the wheels of Kossuth’s cannon. She could not make good her threats against him; she could not even protect her own capital from the invincible legions of Bem and Dembinski. She was forced to the humiliation of sueing for Russian aid; for she foresaw that, without it, she never could save herself, much less crush the brave Hunga- rians. An army of Cossacks came at her signal; but she was not to reap the fruit of their victories. The Hungarian rebellion was smothered forthe moment. Hungary, pierced on all sides, bled till she fainted and fell. She ap peared to be conquered; but the whole world knows that she was not subdued. She is stronger now than she was before the struggle; for she has tried her strength and measured it. At all events, she is lost forever to Austria. The Aulic Council of Vienna will never agua control her destin’ Austria has made herself an enemy in every house in Hungary; not a fireside in that heroie kingdom an which lamentations have not been heard for the | dead; her plains have been wet with bloodshed by Auvetrian han There is nota child in Hun- gary but will, among its earliest lispings, utter a curse against the Austrian name. sia is now the master of Hungary; sh quered her, and she, not Austria, claims the prey. What may be the fate of Hungary no prophet may forete]; but no shrewd observer of European af- fairs can deubt that she is lost to Austria, irrevo- cably, forever. This vast calamity involved many others tothe Hapeburg throne. First and greatest of all, was the integrity of her empire and prestige of hername. Great empires can farni no surer indications of approachiag dissolu- tion than the rebellion and loss of ancient pro- vinces. It was co with the colossal goyeraments of the eastern world. When the name of Rome no longer inspired terro: of her fall was sounded—every petty tyrant in Eue rope insulted the name of Napoleon after he had lost the prest If Hungary were told to-day t ld troubl her no me with Austria of invinel t the Co: ene acks w he might co, alone, her heroic peasantry would once more darken the banks of the Danube—her victoriou banners would again be unfurled from the heights of Pesth and Comorn, and the dust clouds would, in less than an hundred days, be rising over her @avalry on the road to Vienna. Neither can Russia hold this noble kingdom. Eurepe never wil! suffer the great North to extend any fart progress of Russia, or ebar ack dominion. Turkey might not any powerful barrier to the march of the armies of Nicholas, but F passable, and she fee) rself to the Cos- be able to raise urope can interpose one that is im- at the time has come for her to doit, or be submerged.

England es for peace—she feels and she knows that she ne e will nek, and she must risk, & European war, rather than allow a Russian fleet to pars the Dardanelles.

He will wear it no loager | than it is held there by mercenary bayonets. Foreigners need no better gauge than this by which to measure the veneration of the Italians for liberty, ‘To calculate the earnestness of their | resolution to achieve it, we have their heroic strag- gle for months against a foe they knew they could | not long resist. Italy, all Italy, is but Rome, in example and im spit. She now looks calm—but her bosom is heaving. She is biding her time. She 1s not crushed—like Hungary, she has yielded and re- coiled; but, like her sister nation, she is bendiag her ear to catch the first tocsin of a European movement; and when it comes, she will spring to her feet again, and leap once more 1to the arena. With Italy on the one side and Hungary on the other, Austria is hke a tired keeper, panting be- | tween two unchained sleeping ugers. They sleep | net, because they fear their keeper, and they wake at intervals to glance timidly at the Northern Bear. How soon Europe will become the theatre of another general struggle, human foresight cannot discover. But another steamer is likely to bring stirsing intelligence. The Emperor of Russia must retreat before the combined armies of France, England, and Turkey, or enter on an unequal | struggle. It is our belief that the Czar has over- estimated his real and his relative strength. Even an emperor may mistake his position, andfover es- estimate his resources. The doing of it cost Napoleon everything but his fame. It was a bold, and perhaps we may say, a splendid announcement that he, the Czar, would put down democracy, and come out from his polar lar to restore order to Europe. Poor Austria—feeble Pio Nono, a sort of Roman Catholic mummy, with the odor ofsanctity about him, should not be kicked out of his ten acre-lot-patrimony of St. Peter. He, the Richard Cour de Lion of modern monarchy, would come forward, and by one imperial growl, send liberty back to its hiding place! There was, after all, something heroic in this, and it smacked of the Red Jacket school, It makes us think of Clovis, the great founder of the French monarchy, who, while listening to an account of the cruci- fixion of Christ, rose and exclaimed: “If | and my brave Frances had been there, they dared not have done it.” Carlyle seys that Nicholas is the only man in Europe. Perhaps, however, there may be “a few others left.” Kossuth looks very much like one—paiticularly just now; and we see, at the pre- sent moment, on the scenes of Europe, a tableaw vivant, which has the world for an auditory. Kos- | suth manned the breach—the hearts of all the brave, | from China round this way to California, were | | beating with. sympathy for him. Englishmen, Frenchmen, Americans, all men, cried out to thew governments, “help, help the brave fellow;” and | yet Lord Palmerston “‘erpped his hock at Doodle’s, | and De Tocqueville, his elaret, at the Café de Par and Mr. Cloyton, his sixpenny mug ot in some by-street cellar in ght oa, and sweat blood, Now, destiny, ashamed of | of ale | ington, and let him | and fall, and fly. | statesmen, takes up his cause and fights for him: d England and France, and pethaps America, too, (ii what our correspondent says about Com- down the gavatlet to the Czar, and fight for Kos. ruth.

An amendment of $200,000, for the payment of the more urgent claims, was then passed by the Senate, which was aleo rejected by House.

The personal difficulnes of General Kearny and Colonel Mason with Colonel Fremont in California, are well known. Mason and Fremont there was narrow escape from a duel, atter all the arrangements for the fight. The trial brought against Fremont, by Gen Kearny, at Washington, is a very notorious tier of history. ‘These personal affairs enlisted Jonel Benton against Kearny, Mason, Stevea- erned ogainet Fremont, and ex- » provocations to the contro- son, and all ec plein versy in bw in the letter of Colonel Benton to the people of California, he says that the bill of $700,000 for the payment of California clame “was balked ia the to the House of Representatives by Col.

From the tone of the latest English papers, we have no doubt that such an arrangement could be easily effected; but, although it would be to the interest of the American company to take such a course, and although they probably intend- ed, in the first place, to adopt that policy, there 18 no reason why it should be forced on them by a fo- reign government, under cover of a claim which really has no foundation in right, and which is nothing but a flimsy pretext for acquiring posses- sion of the only practicable route for constructing aship canal between the two oceans. We have no hesitation in declaring, that if that portion of the continent ¢id not offer facilities for forming such a communication, his majesty, Billy Bowlegs, would have been, to this day, not only an ua crowned monarch, but a sans culotté—a bare-head- ed, whiskey-drinking, besotied Indian, as he and all his tribe were previous to his coronation in Jamaica. England saw that Nicaragua pos- sessed that particular point, and she determined to have it. Some show of claim should be set up, and she manmuvred to bring about a separate in- dependency within the precincts of the State of Nicaragua. Having a weak power to contend with, all she had to do was, to employ her agents to form a separate kingdom, independent of Nica- regua—scure up an Indian—crown him King—and then take him under her charge, and guaranty the integrity of his kingdom. When such determina- tion was entered into, England doubtless contem- | plated, at no distant day, to possess that point ex- clusively, to construct the canal, and to be sole owner thereof—allowing British vessels to pass through it at a mere neminal rate, but charging the vessels of all other nations pretty well, with the double view of favoring British commerce, and making the canal a source of revenue. The pria- ciples of tree trade, however—which have made such progress, within a few years, throughout the world—having proved, practically, that any regula- tion tending to limit the field of commerce in any way, whether by imposts, taxes, or duties of any kind, while it confers no immediate benefit on the party making it, injures all, more or less, England 1s now willing enough not to push her pretensions, provided the American company, when it con- structs the proposed canal, will throw it open to the commerce of all nations, on equal terms, giving no one a preference over another. This is the position in which this Nicaragua | question stands at present. England has set up certain pretensions, which she will insist on if the proposed canal be not free to all nations. If it be free—if ships of all countries be al- lewed to pass through it on equal terms— then her claims will not be put in the way of accomplishing the work. But this is a piece of dictation which we ought not to submit to; for England cannot convince us that the preten- sions which she has set up in favor of the Mosqui- to boy-king, have any legitimate foundation. Ia | fact, her intervention in the matter was merely a piece of fraud and trickery, and can be proved to be so, by the written declaration of one of her own commissioners, through whose instrumentality the | boy-Indian was caught and crowned. Testimony of this character, in the handwriting of such com- | missioner, is, we are informed, in the possession of the cabinet at Washington, and will be extbited to Great Britain at the proper time, if she desires an inspection of it. The only stand for this go- vernment to take, is to act in this Nicaragua mat- ter as if Englond had no legitimate claims on the Mosquito territory, and as if his Majesty, the Mos- quito Billy-Bowlegs, is no more than he was before the faree of crowning him was performed—an Ia- | dian savage. Wasuxeron Remors.—We are informed from Washington, that ameng the latest romors in that extraordinary village, it isruamored that Mr. Mere- dith is to go to Russia; that probably George Evans, of Maine, will be called to the Treasury Department, and that some other Cabinet changes | are expected to be made, on or shortly after the meet- | ing of Congress. Very likely. Itis also reported that | Mr. Collamer has got ured of Major Hobbie, his i sistantin the General:Post Office, and that the Major is to go on the Ist of November. This is the thing which plays the deuce with the whig party—they have so many starveling office-huntera to feed, that the lecotocos, from the worst to the very best, must give way, and have to be tarned drift. It is this swarm of ad-flies that has stupi- fied the cubinetand rendered it useless. It is to be heped, however, that Collamer will retain at least one capable man in his department. As for the cabinet, the more you change it, and the soon- er, the better. ‘The Exp or tue Fr. pa Wan.—We give in another column, the intelligence that Billy Bow- legs has given up the Indians who caused the re- cent outbr This will probably end the trouble Floriaa. r eof John R.

The fact that those old managers of political battle-fields for the past half century, generally designated as the sachems of old Tammany, had consented fo a union of their rebellious children with the orthodox hunkers, and that they were to held a grand ratification meeting, induced us, last evenings to despatch our corps of reporters to see hew the reconciliation would be effected. It was to take place, in public, last evening, in the great meeting room of the old sachems in Tam- many Hall. When our reporters started for old Tammany, we somewhat doubted whether there would be any persons there; but knowing that the demoeracy were web-footed, we thought they might tarn out even in the tremendous rain storm. And, accord- ingly, eur reporters went through the rain to the place. One of our reporters entered—passed through the bar room, and arrived in the committee room. Becker, the old Sagamon of those terrible sa- chems, objected to his passage, but at last he was passed into the committee room. The committee of arrangements was composed of three from each ward—being one from each of the conventions. ‘They were contesting some tri- vial matter—the resolution to be offered. Doyle was speaking, on the side of the barnburners, and Siekles, on the side of the hunkers. E.C. West was in the chair. But the hunkers carried, ag usual, their own way; and then they adjourned, to go up into the big room, to go before the united democracy. ° Asa matter of course, it was arranged, down stairs, in the little committee room, who were to be the officers of the meeting; and the list was sent up stairs for the approval of the democracy. Cuares O’Conor was appointed President. After Mr. O’C, took the chair, the nominations were read by him. icipated that there would be a great array of the strength of the radical hunkers to put down the nomination of Purser or Dowaing. When the reporter entered the big room, it was a pertect Pandemonium. ‘Che first word from Charles O’Concr called the mecting to perfect order. ct ‘The first question taken was on ee judicial no- minations—and they were taken with entire unani- muty. £ ‘The Chairman of the convention for the nomi- ed—the question being first put upon the nomina- tion of George H.

Purdy, for Commissioner of Streets and Pe These men being pertectly orthodox in their de- mocracy, and having taken an active part in the torch-light demonetration last November, for Cass and Butler, (which was so fully reported in the Herald) were received with cheers and acclame- uuons. The next question was taken, whea T. K. Dow- ning, for City Inspector, received it by acclamation, 2 votes only in the negative—the gentlemen from the 3d and 6th wards. The great tug was then anticipated on Hatfield as it was supposed that John Orser’s friends would come down the north side ot the town to op- pose it. Again the combination has been effected 80 strongly that no one opposed it. y ‘The next nomination was Henry Arcularius, Jr , for Register. This was pronounced upon by tre- mendous cheers from every part of the building, almost before it paesed the chairman’s lips. sane ether nominations were then read and adopted. ‘There were no very exciting scenes, except the fight between Charles Bartley and Tom O'Donnell. were on pany seen walking arm in arm at the funeral of Jobn J.

Assosn as the reading of the resolutions was conclu- ded, there were calls for Mr. croft late Unite States Minister to the Court of St. James, who Mr. O'Conor announced was in the room, for Mr. Cai breleng, Captain Rynders, and various others. 0: called out for Abby Folsom, which caused some werrime!

He would give @ few reasons for de- clining, suchas would satisty those present, he had no doubt. He understood there were some di-tinguished epurangers (haga who were invited to address the meeting this evening, and he would be wanting, in courtesy to them, as wellas violating the rights of hasplt ty, to Lhrust himself forward aud speak before them, ‘The epeal was about to retire, when Mr. O'Co- noxraid he bad the stand. Cartas Ryxoens then went on, and said he trusted he would be aliowed to make @ brief explanation in regard to the position which he was ia at the meeting. Hewould not detain them long, for it would take him only a few minutes to let off all the steam he held on the subject. ihe fact is, he raid, be would pot have come, but that he had heard there was a disposition in the committee room to ostracize him on 4 mistaken state of facts, bub explanation had been made, and ail iswell. He then spoke at length about the divisions that have existed in the party, Both factions com- mitted errors— he bimseif did. ‘The speaker was interrupted at this point by a strug- gle between Charley Bartlett end soi O'Donnell, which promised to result in w general rew, but it was settled without even a bloody nose. Captain Ryuders continued for a few minutes longer, and was ful- lowed by Mr, Sinamay, who, after hoping that the whig organs would not have an opportunity of raying that Tam- many Hail, on thia occasion, presented a scene of riot or dieturbauce, proceeded to detail the circumstances connected with the division iu the ocratic ranks, And also those of the union, going over the ground of the several conventions at Roie, Utica, Syracuse, Ke., bringing things down to the nomination of candidates atthe present time, There were men nominated, he said, on the democratic ticket. who have been fora long UUme eliens to Tammany Hall, but the fact of their baving been selected by the Democratic Nominating Convention, makes it incumbent on ali demoerats to tupport them. ‘To elect them, union is necessary, and without such union, defeat is inevitable, What will be the result if we refuse to sustain those nominations? Why, We will contribute to the election of the whigs. Inconclusion, he said it is ef the highest importance to the interests of the city and county of New York, that the party now in power shouid be displaced. They it for thelr management of the Astor place r their waste of thi ‘bile moneys, and for their 8. t that those who signed the Macready card were not indicted’? Why is it that, but with one or two exceptious, the whole Sunday press of New York supported the authorities im the course which they took in that riot? It was be- cause two-thirds of the editors of that press are Eng- litbmen, and hence they supported the cause of the English actor. Aiter a few words more, he sat down, let us come toor- with ail t 1 will and amid cries for Carbreleng and others to address the meeting, Mr. Chant O'Cowon got fup, and read a letter, tent by Mr. Forney, of Philadelphia, to in tation to him to come to New York meeting. Mr. Forney’s engagements would not admit of aecepting the invitation, but he hopedjtbat the Empire State would follow Pennsylvania in the work of redemption and regeneration. ‘ihe eyes of the whole country are York and Louisiana, waiting for their con- dcmnation of the tricksters at Washington Mr. Scunanet, of Philadelphia, was then introduced to the meeting.

Before his election, he said he would the candidate of the whole people, and he followed it up by saying that every man should exerelse the right of on in a free aud independent manner, aud that voters should know ia advance the opinions oft the men for whom they iutended to vote, imme- diately after making this declaration, however, Gen. ‘Taylor was inquired of in regard to his views, and he was silent. Again, he raid, “ he was a whig, but not an ultra whig Now, sald the epeaker, let us examine To be w whig. as the demeera’s understand it, is to be in favor of @ United States’ bank- to be in favor of a high tarifl—of the distribution of the proceeds of the public iands— of the aseumption by the government: hier to be im favor of a bankrupt law, to pay whig debte= (lavghter)—and no other.
