JOHN OF PaRis—Dr- Per Bac--Wo ts My adway- a Cas G@ Penronmances Eve- Senewapens, Double Sheet Heragg, ‘We understand that a portion of the M@iic are un- der the impression, that when we publish the Herald on # double sheet, we charge double price for it, and that the newsboys are in the habit of charging in that way. ‘We bave only to say, that the price of the double sheet is nomore than that for the single. The object of our publishing these enlarged sheets, is to place betore our readers, at once, all the news, when it comes in upon usin an lanche, as it frequently does, especially on ‘the arrival of steamships from England or California, News from California, We are daily expecting two weeks’ Jater intelli- gence from California—the land of gold—the modern Ophir. In all probability, we shall have two arrivals from Chagres this week, one of which, at least, will bring us later intelligence from that distant region. We need hardly say, that we shall issue this news to the public immedi- ately after it is received. ‘The Union and Mr, Webster's Com promise— The Crisis in Washington, It1s generally conceded that the debate in Con- grees, on the subject of the slavery question, has very nearly reached a crisis, and that that much agitated subject will, before many days—if indeed 4tdo net do so during the present week—be dis- posed of, for weal or for wo, and set at rest for- ever, or until, at least, we get a further accession ot territory from the neighboring republic of Mexico, which 1s not at all improbable at some distant day, either by conquest or acquisition in a peaceable way. From intelligence that has reached us from Washington, we are very much inclined to believe that the preposition for compromise which Mr. Webster has been preparing for some days past, will be acceptable to both sections of the country — to the moderate and sensible men of the North and the South; and, therefore, that it will succeed in not only healing the breach which has unfortu- nately been created between those two sections, but in cementing and making firmer than ever the confederacy of these States. Ii this plan of com- promise ehould be ot the character described, it will, no doubt, receive the support of the South, and be accepted in a spirit of conciliation. Ceming as it will from the Senator from Massa- chueetts, it will have the effect of convincing our uthern neighbors, that although there are in the rejoice even over a dissolation of the Union, provided their abstract theories of humanity to- | wards the slave were carried owt, yet that the great body of the people ef this section of the country should mot be included in the same cate- | gory—that, eo far from wishing to harass the South on the subject of slavery, in defiance of the com- promises of the constitution, and of the teelings which animated and controlled the South in be- coming party to that sacred instrument, they are maintain itet all and every hazard. Of thisthey have good proof, in the unanimity and eathusiasm Ambalema | The latter, however, being as yet South, on the slavery question. which marked the proceedings of the great Union meeting at Castle Garden on Monday evening | last. Our Southern friends cannot discern, in the | revolutions or epeeches delivered on that occasion, sught that any friend of the Unign, either North or Vv Mr. Webster, then, being about to introduce a echeme of compromise, which promises to be ratis- factory to both sections of the country, it behooves the Northern and Eastern States to give him their undivided support and encouragement.

Under the Union, she has reach- ed her present point of wealth, intelligence, and In fact, as there is no city in the United States more interested in preserving the confederacy than New York, she ought to throw her whole weight and influence into the 4 seale, and support Mr. Webster, to the extent of prices, they are generally | her ability, in his well meant endeavors to heal the ‘of difficulty now existing between the North and the Mr. Webster is a | man of gigantic intellect, and has evineed his commanding power and influence on move than one | occasion. | can, with comparative ease, still the troubled wa- mal wore asked on | that day which were not obtainable, and buyers firmly | South to re-embrace each other ace on quotations current last | brethren ‘and | houses of Congress, | | | ters at Washington, and induce the North andthe Already it is ascertained that his scheme of compromise is acceptable to the South, and will be satisfactory to the members of both Tepresenting that section of the country. A few fanatics from the North—the epresentatives of the ultra abolition sentiment of this region of the country, may oppose him ia his efforts to save the Union, from the very fact that his plan meets the views of the Southera people; but theee men must be told that the people of this as well as of other sections of the country, demand that this troublesome question shall be disposed of immediately and eet at rest. If Mr. Webster succeed in this movement, he will at once become the greatest man in the country. He will seeure the thanks and gratitude of the Southern States, for they are as mach in favor of the Union as we in the North are, and he will be hailed by the Northern States asa national pecificator, at a time when the country was in pen, and when we were nigh giving up hope of the permanence of this great and glorious fauric of government. Those feelings would, in the regular course of events, find expression ia nominating him for the Premdeney, and ele him to that high office by a majority weparaileled im any prev contest Under there cireumetances, therefore, and if the plen ef compromice now bemg prepared by North a parcel of abolition fanatics, who would | devotedly pledged to its continuance, and will | With a reasonable share of support, he | friends and | Mr. Webster, and soon to be submitted by him te the Senate of the United States, for the per- maneat settlement of the slavery question, should be the means of calming the present excitement, of restoring the good feelings which have here- tofore existed between the Northern and Southern States of this confederacy, and in prevailing upon the people of the North to cease their fanaticism and act up to the compromises of the constitution —under such circumstances, it 1s not at all unlikely that Mr. Webster will be the most powerful and prominent candidate for the Presidency in 1852, and be elected to that hgh office by one of the most unanimous votes that was ever given since the time of Washington. It isin such crises a8 the present that political dross is separated from the pure metal—when patriotism exhibits itself in its beautiful lineaments, irrespective of party; and no one can say that Mr. Webster is not eminently patriotie, is not as devoted a friend to the Union as breathes, and would not rather die than that he should live to witness a disruption or disorgani- zation of this great republic. The Details ofthe Foreign News, In the Herald double sheet, of to-day, will be found, as usual on the arnval of a mail steamer, a clear, copious and complete digest of the foreign news, furnished by the best authorities, comprising articles from the European press, and interesting letters from special correspondents. The phases of commercial, social, fashionable and political life are displayed in all their colors and curious phenomena, and will be examined with uncommon interest. The review of the details brought by this arrival, renders it necessary to add something to the re- marke urged by ue on the receipt ¢f the telegraphic synopsis. We have been put in possession of facts appertaining to some prominent subjects, to which we would draw attention. Among these, the position of Lows Napoleon is exciting. — ‘This President of the French Republic is fast has. tening to his ruin. Evidently bent upen consoli- dating his power so asto erect a throne upon it, he 1s stirring up all those elements based on vanity, selfishness and the passions of men, which, at no distant day, will concentrate and smite him to the earth. Surrounded by powerful factions, several of which are seeking the re-establishment of a mo- narchy, he seems to be unaware of the number of selfish and ambitious men who are constantly en- gaged insidiously in picking the cement out of his fortification. The plan of turning a four years’ President into a deepot was a suicidal conception, and eventually will start into action Changarnier, Cavaignac, Lamoricitre, Lebreton, Lefro and others, who, it is to be presumed, were at the meeting noticed by our special correspondent. These men know where they stand. They know that the lovers of order, of all classes, will stand by them when they resist the contemplated coup d'état of the President. Totally opposed to a Na- poleon dynasty, they will be the means of strength- ening and perpetuating the republic—not, perhaps, for itself, but for the prime object of overthrowing the designs of the faithless head of the republic and the reckless trampler on the constitution. It is not impossible that the proposed celebration of the twenty-fourth of February already may have been the immediate cause of some startling acts | and resistance. We are assured that the celebra- | tion would not be permitted ; and such a decision, after the cutting down of the liberty trees, will have a powerful effect on the mind of France. The only hope of Napoleon, in case of a grand dis. | order, would be in the troops, were there no spirit of disaffection among them ; but unfortunately for the weak President, Changarnier and Cavaigaac | have their affections, and they, themselves, being } opposed to the coup d'état, will bring this strength | of Louis over to the people, throwing the Presi- | dent into as ndiculous a position as he was when | | an the fortress of Ham. We shall await the next | tidings with impatience. The conduct of England with respect to Greece | | js another topic of deep meaning and conjecture. ‘The unqualified condemnation of England will be pronouneed, by all civilized nations, tor her con- duct towards this youthful State, which, by the treaty of 1827, made in conjunction with France | and Russia, she was bound to support, and not to | distress. King Otho has had troubles enough, | heaven knows; and for England to strike him when he “was down,” was a piece of deliberate | cowardice, that would disgrace the meanest prize- | | fighter between Mile End and Marylebone. A | few private claims are urged on bebalf of certain | | Briush and [onian subjects, and, not being re- sponded to in the spirit most pleasing to creditors, « Britich squadron, consisting of seven ships of | the line and six steamers, under Sir Wilham Par- | ker, enters the port of Athens, and the comman- der and his aide are speedily engaged 1n appraising loeses, and estimating the value of ground rents! Such rapacity 1s characteristic of barbarism—but it is nothing new, we regret to say, on the part of | England, Her moet trustworthy bailiff is a bullet; | her chief expounder of her rights is a tea-pounder, | | Greece had decided, through her judicial council, | | that the claims urged were not sound ones; and on that decision something different ought to have been expected of a nation professing to be governed | by the comity of nations. This, however, is not | the only instance of English tyranny over Greece. For years she has persecuted that struggling na- tion, and Jitde else could be expected than a deci- sion against an oppressor. The latest intelligence entitles us to believe that the mediation of France will settle the whole difficulty in some way; but | whether to re-establish the wounded digauy of Greece, remains to be seen. } Our Berlin correspondent presents the featares of | | the Prussian difficulties. The whole business | will probably reeult in favor of the liberal party at | some future period, not extremely distant. The beck-sliding policy of the King has deprived him of the aid of Manteuffel and Brandenbourg, and his hope 1s now in Radowitz. That may fail him; | | for should he advise the retention of the present | ministry, there w nothing left for him except a | species of imprisoned government. In striving to } | do much, the King does nothing—and the attempt ' to create a peerage out of raw materials ie an ab- | surd chimera. If he cannot abide by a constita- tional government, he will have to be thrown overboard. Switzerland, as connected with its hospitality | to political refugeer, seems to be not only exciting | the jealousy of France, but of other governments more ostensibly despotic. the country of cantonments is alternately coaxed and threatened; and were it not for the love of | peace which marks the Swiss character, some dis } turbance might be anticipated from the demands already made that she shall yield up the refugees _ who have tound an asylum within her borders. — It does not appear, however, that the most distin- fuished or most dangerous insurrectionists are in "hat country; yet perhaps they are sufficiently nu- merous to be a cource of uneasiness to governments constantly alarmed by apprehensiens of outbreaks and revolutions. ‘The coming year, as the astrolegers say, will be full of extraordinary events, and we may as weil prepere for them. ‘The strong are against the weak all over the errth, and seem ready for some kind of action, if only for the sake of keeping their hand in. The news from Europe increases in interest. Wuat's ix tae Winv'—A curious move was made in the Board of Supervisors, yesterday even- ing, for the dismissal of Mr. Walker, the Com- missioner of Jurors. We must learn something nore of the reasons than we could glean from the vague resolution that was proposed, before we can express an opinion on the subject; but we would eunply ack, has Mr. Walker been guilty of py ye My | ) that the Commissioner of Jarore cannot be removed, hog by im; eut ; he Bolds his office as does | apy Bdge in the city, Why was it proposed to remove bim!

Penay.—We learn that Captain Cheries G. Hunter, of the United States Navy, Detter known as “Alvaredo Huster,” who is now in Washington, is to be placed under arrest, by rcquest of Com. M. C. Perry for s certain letter written to him by Capt. H. relative to his (Com. ?.'s) official report of the capture of Alvarado. Iteppeare that upon the return of Captain Hunter from the where he had been performing active service for two or three years, some friends brought to his notice the official record over the signature of “MM. C. Perry,” detailing this celebrated event, of which Captain Munter was de facto the hero, The record isin substance to this effect: that Alvarado was taken by the combined forces of the United States, thirteea ships at sea, under com- mand of Com. Perry, and three thousand men on shore, under command of Gen. Quitman; thatin this engage- ment al) the officers of the American squadron behaved witb great gellantry, and saould merit the especial at- tention of the government, save “Lieut. Com. Charles G. Huster,” whom he felt it his duty to arrest and court martial, Captain Hunter, it and high epirited, felt st once that he stood charged wi cowardice upon the naval archivee—that thie was o stain net only upon himself, but upon those who came t once wrote to Com, Perry, that implied a falsehood, which, as an could wot permit to remain upon ply to this letter was waited for n Capt. H again wrote, ine} copy of the origival letter, informing Com. Perry tl unless he noticed it immediately, he would at once pub- lish it tothe world. This brought from Com, Perry » letter to the Navy Department, ealling for Capt. Hun- ter’s arrest. We are right glad of this. The whole country knows that the most brilliant ect of the mavy during the war with Mexico, was the capture of Alvarado, by Capt. Hunter, in the steamer Scourge, (one gun.) atter several ineffectual attempts bad been made by our whole fleet, under command of one of the senior officers, For this act, Capt. Hunter was robbed of bis command, tried by ceurt martial, brutelly reprimanded, and, as far as Com, Perry covld do it, disgraced. Yes, disgraced for — most gallant naval feat of the war. If President should bring this matter to a Court of Inquiry, Capt. Humter need fear nothing, as all the facts will be Drought before the people, and they will Rot hesitate to re-aflirm their previous decision, thet bis conduct was such as titude and thanks of the whole nation. We wait with anxiety the denouemeat—look eut for breakers.

Among the most prominent news received by the telegraph, will be seen the movements in the Senate and Assembly of this State. In the Senate, on the third reading of the bill with regard to pre- ference of suits in questions appertaining to mano- rial lands, it was referred back to the Committee of theJ Whole; but no action was taken on this im- portant matter. In the Assembly several bills were passed and several were reported. Our Washington intelligence is interesting. The funeral of General McNeil, of whose career a sketch was given in yesterday’s Herald, caused the early adjournment ot both houses, and conse- quently rendered the session less eventful than it might have been, in a political point of view. Nothing of importance occurred in the Senate; but Mr. Millson, mm the House, proceeded with his speech, which must have commanded no little attention. He took his stand by the constitution, plainly and explicitly declaring that by that in- strument the South were willing to be governed. We have, in another column, directed attention to the important position of Mr. Webster—and the more we reflect and revise our opinions during the great etruggie now going on, the more forcibly are we impressed with the duty which challenges Mr. ‘Webster to adopt the course demanded by the pe- culiar crisis at hand. There can be but one opin- ion as to the result. New York and New England will go with him on a broad, generous and equita- ble comprom: Affairs in Washington. OUR SPECIAL TELEGRAPHIC CORRESPONDENCE. is Wasnincron, February 26, 1850. There is a deep, strong, pervading sense here of the imperative necessity of settling the slavery question at onee and for ever. Many feel that the Union is in- valuable, and worth more than all State gains, seo- tional gains,and party gains; but there are others who, with deliberation, examine the commercial and social sequences of a dissolution. They are in earnest; t meeting of Southern members has been and a concerted action organized. Great exclite- went prevails everywhere, intense anxieties are felt, and expression is frequently given to these in words of feerful {foreboding. As the Herald has already stated, In doubting men create danger, and security can arise only from an adequate realization of the imminent peril te which the country is exposed. Colonels Biseell and Davis have not concluded their correspondence on the question of the Buena Vista bat- tle and the debate on slavery. The hope that this per- sonal difficulty would be adjusted without recourse to deadly weapons, is not strengthened by the present po- sition of partier, though it is to be wished that no life may be exposed to danger in such a cause. The death of General MoNeil, late Surveyor of the Port ef Boston, has been seriously mourned. His fune- ral took place to-day. A large and imposing military and civic procession, composed of the President and prominent individuals here, paid the last honors to the gellant deceased. In the Senate, Mr. Hale moved an adjournment, that the funeral might be attended, and Pronounced an eulogy on General MoNeil, who was a native of New Hampshire. The House adjourned early, also. Great anxiety prevails on the subject of Mr. Wi ster’s compromise. Northern men think that he wil! scarcely venture to boldly lead off on the subject — while Southern men have great confidence that he will. It is evident that something must be done, and that somebody must be found to do it, that will close lerman Coox, that it |, the controversy. The fears expressed with respect to the result of considering Doty’s resolution are some- what dispelled, by the information that it will be with- held. Mr. Webster may speak to-morrow—such is the ru- mor here. Mr. Foote is ill from over exertion during the past fortnight. The Senate, in executive session to-day, had under consideration a resolution rerpecting the Shauuberg affair. In the State Department, there are rumors that Mr. ‘Winthrop will suceced Clayton. It is also sald that Mr. Abbott Lawrence has expressed a desire to be re- called, in the event of which, Mr. Winthrop probably would be sent to the Court of St. James. THIRNTY-FIRST CONGRESS.
