News from Evrope We have not yet beard of the arrival of the Ca- mada at Halifax. Our merebants would do well to be on their guard, till they see the news posted on the buletns. The Abolition of the Austrian Mission. The sensation created througbout the country, by the speech of Gen. Cass, in tavor of abolishing the Austrian mission, is likely to be somewhat perma. pent. He assigned some pretty strong reasons for the course he recommended to the Senate, but his speech was shorn of most of its strength by his not le to put forwerd with much force the yg pomts in tke case. Everybody knew that the distioguished Senator was on pretty good terms with the notorious ambassador himself, and so he wasted most of his charge outside of the riag of histarget. It is doubtful now, how the case may be decided ; tor there are objections which | have been rewed by Mr. Clay, and other Senators, against the olition of the Austrian mission, which may prevent any action on it whatever for aconsiderable time. It is even doubttul whether the political and personal friends of James Watson Webb may not stave off the matter yet for many months. How intimate may Lave been the rela- tions of the chief propnetor of the Courier and En- querer with the leaders of the wh party in‘ Wash luton, few, p bly, but the parties ia question ‘ully understund. It may be that Col. Webb, for reasons best known to himselt, knew that he could leave the country in defiance of the Senate, and every role of deeeacy, and do it with impunity, knowing he had (he stall in his own hand, by wich te could eudge! politicians enough in the Senate mte his defence. Whatever may be the upshot of the matter, it is perfectly certain that, f Gen. Cass, Mr. Clay, Mr. Webster, and other distinguished statesmen on either side, do con- aceful an appointment, they do at in of public opinion, expresssd through a and from the most respectable frm so ¢ det thou end channel sources, and they give wbundant reason to the nae " u 10 Nom and Olay tuspect ihe jategrity of their motives. scan believe that Webster, » ever io their own Conscience, nin his sen could find @ justification for committing such an cutrege on the feelings of mankind ‘as was per- petr by Mr Cleyion, when be chose such a man to represent this nation. Indeed, we verily beheve thar each of those Senators believe that | Webs is vtterly been appoir i yet they ore all deficient ia more! eourge to say so in public debate, while they freely cdmit the fact 1 private circles. This we knore, Lot there is one tact connected with the impos- ing announcement made by Gen. Cass, to the eficet that he & eppose Col.

If a republic wx proclaimed in Rome, end be administered with m w ghould the friends of freedom fear ty t other parts of ; ‘ ompetent—utterly unfit to have | of the fatal blunders ot the Hon. John M. Clayton, it his fitness for that | supposed throughout the country that our Chargé d’Affaires had recognised the Roman republic. It had begotten confidence ; it had acquired strength 3 and nothing, short of an armed expedition of fifty the new government ; and even with this tremea- matter to reconquer his lost kingdom ; for it was by levelling the walls of Rome, by bombarding that ancient and venerable city, by buraing the houses of its people, and filling every dwelling with mourning and blood, that his soldiers were at last enabled to gain their point; and when General Ocdinot entered Rome, not an Italian gave him a | shout of welcome—not a Roman could be found cut ofa naif million, who would mouat to the top of the Campidoghio, and drag down the tri-color of ltalian freedom. Now, if Mr. Cass, during this whole period, had been left with no diseretonary power, whatever his acts might have been, the responsibility of them would have fallen upon his government; but he had no excuse of this kind to plead, tor he might have come forward ai the right time, and lent the new republic the encouragement of his own; and if he had been such a man as we needed, and Rome needed, at that time, with the instructions he had | from the President, he might have given a different | issue to the fate of Rome. Altkough ro parallel can be traced between the characters or the qual fieations of the two mimsters of whom we are speaking, Mr. Cass being, so far as we kumew, en- tirely unobjectionable on personal grounds, yet we can conerive quite as good reasons for the aboli- tion of the Reman mission as for the Austrian. In both cases despotism has triumphed by the | foulest and the bloodiest means. Ia beth cases our government has stood aloof from those repub- lics, when they needed aid; in both cases its en- | couregement was looked for, and both cases the ruin has been wrought. If Cass’s argu. | ment holds good when applied to Austria, that, by abolishing all diplomatic relations between the two countries, we adannister a severe and well merited | rebuke to tyranny, we cannot for our lives see why | the case will not hold just as good when applied to | Rome. At present, Hungary 1s crushed and eruci- | fied. The butcher has shed his blood, and the ir- nocent have died. So far as the cowardice of despotism has dared to go in this sanguinary period, | thas gone; and if the petty priests, backed by | hired soldiers, who now govern the Roman States, | had dared to bring on a reign of terror, as Nicho- \ tas and Haynau have done, who doubts that they would have done it? It is well known that under Gregory XVL., only a little more than three years ago, every outbreak or attempt at political dis- turbance brought scores of men to the block of the executioner, or the torture of the inquisitorial dun- geors. No reign has ever been so despotic over mankind as the reign of priesteraft. But barbari- ties and atrocities enough have been perpetrated in Rome, since the French intervention began, to | justify us in patting an end to all diplomatic inter- | course, or even the appearance of it, with such a state. We hope, at all events, in the name of hea- | ven, that Mr. Cass has not yet recognised the pre sent government, if there be any In Rome. But we have serious doubts whether we could not, as a nation, discover a wiser policy than that advocated by the Michigan Senator. His hands were tied when he made his great speech. Colonel Webb was his intimate friend; and if the question of abolishing missions were raised, the propriety of abolishing the mission to Rome became apparent. Would it not be better, instead of committing to the hands of a very young man so responsible and important a mission as the one to Rome has been, or so important a business as has been confided to the notorious proprietor of the Covrur and Enquirer—were it not better, we say, to invite them both to come home and go about their proper business, the one to the bowdvrr, the | other to the bull-ring—and send two men, distin- | | guiehed for their talents, their character and their pubhe service, to do what may be done, at this eleventh hour, to atone in part, at least, for some if the illustrious patron of the Hon. James Watson | Webb, colonel by courtesy, and once a subordinate | | officer ip the regular army, who was pardoned out | | of State prison by the grace of a New York Go- vernor, in order to enderse him for a foreign mis- | sion? Our policy should from the beginning have been to encourage throughout the world, by all fair and practicable means, the diffusion of the principles of hberty. No man, who has any heart | or republicanism, doubts that the great struggle | which is now going on between absolutism and democracy must in the end accord victory to the now defeated and butchered party in Europe. Why has it not oceurred to our statesmen to copy after the government of Great Britain ? Her policy has always, until recently, been to make war upoa tepublics, because her own insecurity, as an oli garehre monarehy, lay only in the spread of repub- hean principles. We have all heard of the Holy Allince and the Congress of Vienna, where sove- | reigns and despots assembled to combine their forces to put down liberty. By such combinations, the liberal cause has hitherto suffered all its de- feats; and who expects that it will ever become victorious, unless its friends unite, throughout the world, ina like combination? It was by sucha combination as this, that the fairest and the richest empire in Seuth America was prevented from be- coming a republic, and converted into a new field for European royalty. England, and France, and Spain, ond Portugal, placed over the heads of the | empire of Brozil a Eoropean prince ; and the travtior Louis Philippe wae first in the strife to win the hend of the European-manufwetured monarch for | one of his daughters. Acd this was not eaough, One of his sons must marry the same monarch’s tister. In this way, for ages, royal families have | interwoven themselves together, until it has abso. | lately t eu matter ¢ it-preservation to each one to prowet the usurped powers of all the rest Now, with such fearful odde against repu —with the intrigues and assaults, opea aad in hich hope is there that ut will ever prevail, wus ons, ¥ monarchy can briog egiuinet it—wh porsi lees th sume combination, unio pole wement be adopted amoug the repablies That this aust ultomately become good man of the word? the reigning policy of this country, we profo bw wel hat one o ; end hereafier, ne by whieh the ra ve cipal test in our Oly i be tred, will be, What is your policy the mblics ? what will you do for the rty ia the Old World?

To the facts, inferences, and views contained in this article, we draw the TELEGRAPH INTELLIGENCE, a Summary. We give bele » our usual telegraphic report of | thousand Freneh soldiers, could have overthrown | ject of the Battery enlargement, including elso | the doings in Congress, and in our State Legislature. The United States Senate was not in session dous force at his disposal, the Pope found itno easy | Mayor on that subject, in his recent message to | yesverday. The House has succeeded, after forty-two bal- lotings, in electing a Clerk. Mr. Campbell, the attention not only of the business men of the city, | Clerk of the Thirtieth Congress, received 12 but of all persons engaged in trade, and interested in the prosperity of this mighty metropolis, For some time we considered the project of en- votes on the last ballot, and was declared elected. ‘The next business that engaged the attention of the House, was the election of Sergeant-at.Arms. larging the Battery a mere bagatelle—one of | Two ballotings were had, without an election. those impudent and -preposterous hoaxes which | The vote on the last ballot stood—Lane, 83; Gad- speculators and brazen-faced cheats sometimes create, to gratify their own purposes of notoriety, or, perchance, if successful, to procure some ad- vantages out of the result. When such a project was confined to journals without moral character or intellectual talent, it only deserved the passing sarcasm of the moment—to be consigned, with a laugh, to oblivion and forgetfulness ; but whea we see men invested with important legislative powers, as members of the Corporation, and, more particularly, the chief magistrate of the city, adopting, with seriousness and gravity, such an impudent project, which is kanowa among men of intelligence to be the offspring of cupidity or corruption, and, by such means, risking the great commercial interests of this city, by at- tempting such experiments on the most important point of New York harbor, we confess it 1s time that the bubble should be pricked, and those that encourage it ripped from top to bottom. From the best information, gathered from the best quarters, there is every reason to believe that any attempt to enlarge the Battery to the extent sought for by the speculators, would endanger, if not destroy, come of the natural advantages of both the East and the North rivers, which make this city the greatest harbor of the commercial world. Is it just or prudent to risk such results, to gratify cupidity or avarice? Is itright or public spirited im the chief magistrate of this city, to adopt such a project, and give encouragement to such a scheme, as he has recently done in his message to the Com- mon Council? But the weakness of mind, and want of moral courage through which Mr. Wood- hull has adopted such notions, were prefigured, fatally prefigured, in his vascillating, weak, and equally disereditable conduct, during the Astor Place riots of last year: The man whose mental celibre failed him in that important émeute, has made a sim@ar blunder, and equally as great a failure, in his utter ignorance and folly, by sanc- tioning a schemefof speculators, which would en- dunger the natural advantages of the two great rivers which form one of the grandest seaports in the world. ‘We trust and hope that every interest in the city will arouse itself inte acuon against this weak and puenle attempt of the Mayor to endanger such interests by the adoption of such a scheme. Jvpieray Firmvess 1x New Jersey.—The Su- preme Court of New Jersey has refused to quash the indictment recently found against Lambert Norton, President of the swindling State Bank at Morris. The judges in New Jersey deserve great credit for their firmness, and we hope that the same principles will govern other judges and othe courts, in carrying out the requisitions of the law Telative to all those who have got up bubble banks io cheat and swindle the country, when this case | comes before them for final adjudication. The trial of Norton and his confederates will come on before the court at Morristown, ina short time. It will be interesting in a great degree. The evidence will disclose the true nature ot the shifts and pohiey by which such institutions are created and palmed upon the world. We may also expect some curious developements in connection with certain insu- rance companies, and similar establishments in Wall street. When the trial commences, we shall have a reporter on the spot, and will publish the proceedings at once to the world.

Mr. Campbell, who is-re-elected, is a Tennessee whig—was successful by Southern democratic votes. The Northern democrats are much excited. Some of them declare that, if everything is to be a sectional iseue, the South shall have enough of it. ‘The whigs agreed to run Campbell again, to-day, simply to prove their good faith, the South com- plaining that he was abandoned too soon. A half dozen Southern democrats ended the contest; more were yet behind. They had consulted Mr. Calhoun, and, as Mr. Forney could not be elected, they preferred a Southern whig to the chances of a Nerthern tree soiler. They could not trust the Clerk’s franking privilege in doubtful hands. Had the democrats taken up Colonel Walbridge, there were New York whigs enough 1n his favor to elect him; but a few more ballots were yet asked for Mr. Forney. His friends were appealed to, but would not withdraw him. The result foreshadows some trouble in the camp. The democratic caucus of the Senate, os re- Ported to you yesterday, appointed a ittee of five, to report on the rescinding of Mi) enton’s resolution, keeping in the old offic: rs.
