Now Vor, Wednesday, Maren Popular Sentiment in murope. Although the last steamer brought with it the announcement of no astounding event, yet we go'her some indices significant of a great approach- ing revolution in the afluirs of the continent, France, for more than a century, has beea the polineal heart of Europe, whose every pulsation | bay by the Romans, not because date en e etne ee nothing of the martial air, or ef heroic history, to inepure their enthusiasm, who even sits u hors: clumsily, and has never displayed one iota of muli- tary talent, is regarded by the army with supreme contempt. The only opportunity he has yivea to the soldiers of France, to display their valor under his »dministration, has been in laceratiog the eagle of Rome, and crushing that noble aud glorious republic, For three mouths they were kept at hey had a diffi Cult task to achieve, for they could have levelled the walls of Rome in a day, but because they were urged and goaded up to the ungratefal task, comming as it did wih the tri-color of France waving over them, to drag into the dust the tricolor of Romen liberty, There was no glory in battering down the mouidering walls of Rome, There was none of the magnificence of Marengo, or Monte Notie, or the Bridge of Lodi, about that struggle. When the French soldiers eptered the Roman capital, and were greeted by the jibes and sneers of the Roman people, they blushed and hung their heads in shame, because they feit that they had no business there; and from thet hour the army of France resolved to visit its degradation upon the head of Louis Napoleo: like his great uncle, he had left all the embl the revolution, which had ushered ia the repablic, | still streaming im the heavens; if he had himself | | caught up those watchwords of the people, and — | made them ring through Europe; if, instead of / Jo, von Cansvonsia! Tne Teor or Bernas ann or Commeece.—Towards Calforaia isthe swell wy ude of humanity, commeree, traffic, and eavili gation sweeping in a resistless flood, that wilt create changes thet even conjecture cannot cone template without swrprise and woader. Last year, the stream had swollen to formidable proportions, but during the present year, from all that can be ceen and expected, a great flood will roll onward, carrying with it ships, steamboats, houses, mer chandiee, we may alinost say, towns and cities, with their whabitants, to thai region whieh, a few years ago only, was comparatively a wilderness. La the excitement, men and women forget all the ties of kindred and affection, sunder themselves from all the endeerments of home and thew native soil, care nothing forthe contemptible clatter of Congress, disregard all the dangers which threatea the country’s unity and peace, and plough through the waves, and over the prairies and mountains of the far West, to consolidate in anew region a mighty empire, in which will yet be concentrated much of the tact, talent, genius, enterprise, and civilization of all the nations of the earth There are two matters, however, worthy of con- sideration at the present aterestivg pomt of the California agitation, to which enterprise should be particularly directed. Two kinds of cradles are necessary—one for #Aije, a splendid dry dock in Sea Freneiseo, suited to the norture of the im. mense number of vessels now in the Pacific and hoe been felt by surrounding nations, as the throes | throwing himself for protection upon the tyrants | on their way thither; and the other kind for do- of Vesuvius shake the most distant corners of Tkaly. From the time of the revolution ef 1739, no political er social agitation has oecurred in France, Which bas not been immedisiely responded to by en ny, and the Talien States. Our readers are aware how soon the electrie shock of the revolution of February, 1848, fished over the continent, muking itself felt with toe repidity of lightning und the force of an earth- ur movements in Belgium, Ge quoke Louis Nepoleoa has now been President of Frenee eighteen months He was brought into power by the projectile force of revolation, beiag elevated to the Presidency of France with as litte avency of eupport, perhapa, as Captain Tyler was to the Presidenc’ the United Stites—probably etl less. That singular individas! was born the urphew of the greatest man that has ever appeared in Europe. Inheriting his imposing name, and being the only collateral member of the family around whom the Napoleonic associations of the empire clustered, end there being in France, at the time of the election, no master genius who could eway the storm of popular passion, his name Was canght up by the multitude, and, ia the traus- port of enthusiasm, he was called to preside over the pution. le He had made some puerile attempts at yevolution in Italy, in Belgium, and in France. Very litte respect or sym enti he was unprisoned under « process of Louis Philippe, and this imprisonment rescued him trom the contempt with which his name was covered, and excited for bum first the compassion and atterwards the heroism of France. It was donbiiul, for some time after his elevation, what eourse be would take, what poligy would guide his acministration, and how he would wear his Unexpected honors. Elected only for a period of four years, and early betraying a disposition to grasp at imperial power, @ fa Napoleon, he soon to give no dubious indications of the policy by which he was to be guided. Oae of his first Bte ps Wes to crush the liberty of the press in France, aud in this he sneceeded. The second was to ewry through, with the utmost severity, the legal process instituted against the red republicans; and having tromphed mm this movement, exile and mprisonment followed ypon the men whom he aded. Tn the mean time, he had, itis pegotiated secret ure by which he baci bartered away the hbernes of France, in se- euring for hi the cordvale of the Emperor of Roeeia end the cabmet of Vienna. However this may bave been, 1 is perfectly certain that, before six mouths had elapsed from the ume of the election, he was on good terms with the prneipal despots of Europe, and wes making what headway he could in undermiawg the principles of Tepablicanism in France. Not satisfied with this, he seemed bent upon destroying even the external vestiges of the republic, and by his order those magical wo: berté, egalité, fraternué,” which had been the eigna velunon, end which, in ite m stormy ereund them, were blotted t ic ed’ of Paris. His next movement was to cut down, or tear up, the trees of liberty, wiuch had beea planted hy was felt for him, most d entente ferocious and period, had berne a c! nthe y ip ihe capital, by the republicans of the revolution, st the «! ar ts and enthusiasm of an emaaci, poied people These indivations, to say nothing of that bold avd themelers outrage by whieh the Republic of Rome was crushed by fifty thousand French sol- diese, have finally begun to work their effeet ; and by the last accounts, all feet id parties are combining against Louis Nupol and probably no wen ip Lurope he his power by #0 frail aad wure as this same political coxcomb very hth: of the sagacity or foresight Lovie Philiope, ond shoring io none of the re- insecure Gifted wi © e)cot fel for Lim by the sovereigns aod people of the continent, with Bo party ot his own, and no- rh jow of a wame to protect him, there ability thet the storm is gather- ing which will eweep him to destruction.

The day after the Jast dates of Paris we have received by the steamer, @ berquet wee to be held in the French capital, whieh probably will bring with it extraordinary consequences. These banquets in Pare were looked ppon with contempt by Lours Philippe, and possibly Louis Napoleon himself may regard eac an aseemblage with no particular apprehension. ‘The event may show that he is mght; but the hght of noonday is net clearer than the fact that France je eetting tired of ite President, and all her fa will sexe the first occasion for a change The only hope of Louis Napoleon lies in the e elineal tranquility fidelity of the army; but of thie he has no secu- | on the ity, whatever may be bis opt byect Lovie Philippe wae disturbed by some indica | tions of the revolution whieh preceded his downfall, end in the very last moment of his reign, when he had resolved to yield everything to the pressure of the crieis, he was prevented from do- ing #0 only by the over-persuasion of the minister of war end | generals, all of whom assured him that the army was fathfal. “Well, then,” said the aged mowarch, “wih balf a mik lion of armed men, I can and will resist the mob. But this vast barrier of protection dissolved at the touch of the revolution, and ea hour afterwards not a bayonet in France gleamed 1a his service — Atall periods the soldiers of France have been the most democratic portion of the people. They were 00 under Napoleon; they were so under Charles X; they were eo under Louis Phillippe; and (hey are 60 now. Bevices, in France, where men think {ister thaa im any other country, or perhaps we might eay where they ect without thinking at all—where conclumons seem to be reached by millions, with the rapidity of electricity, a great change has ta- ken place im the army since the downfall of Louis Philppe. Every soldier in the French army now bolde bis vote; and Louis Napoleoa, who has ta peaceable bat glorious re- | armed protection | egurd him as having } | of other nations, be had generously lavached him self into the arms of Franve, stirred her uaartiol valor, and given the sigual for half a million of her | | soldiers to pass the Rhine, he would have become | | master of France, and ended by being her dictator. | No cireumstances half so favorable ever lured Na- | | poleon on to glory. | But this despicable character has nearly Goished | his career, He has hed a short race, amd he has | Fun it very quick. Ail Europe is looking at lim, | and the friends of liberty on the eoutinent every. | where ure waiting for bis downfall; and the very | moment he does fall, the flames of war will be | lighted over Evrope. The year of revolutions Is48— witnessed the victory of the people; the year of reaction—15i9—witnessed the victory of tyrants; but it was, at best, onlyadrawa game. Nota tithe of the poor people of Europe was brought into the | confliet, while despotiem all but exiy ed itself. | But for the intervention of France, the Sloman ree | public would have been consolid sted. Hot for the intervention of Russia, Hungary would have been | @ republic to-day; and but for the overthrow of de- mocracy im these two covutries, all Germany would have achieved its hberty; Austria would have been thoroughly revolationized, end Prussia would have become the most liberal goverameut in | Europe. In making vp an estunate of the probable is. sue in the next confliet between the people and their masters, one fact should not be overlooked— the power of despots hus come to consist oaly in money, and every government in Europe is bank- rupt. Even Nicholas, with ali his boasted treasure, is bidding for a loan of twenty-tive millions in London. Hardly a sovereign or a State on the eon- | linent, but isestaggering under the Atlean weight | ofa debt that never will be pad. They repudiate these national debis. it would 4 tate arevolation. The people care aothiu: them. They have themselves coniriduted ihe mo- ney which has created these obligations. lt has } been wrung uarelentingly from very unwilling sie | news; and the first act of a wi pread revolauion would be to blot out ina day every public debt in Europe. Auother thing of far greater importance, | namely, while the last struggle has nearly exheust- ed tyrants, it has only invigorated the people, La it they learned ducipline, fortiiude, endurance. — | They are better prepared now, than ever before, | } anot | | prevent erisis 1 concerned. for war to the hilt; and the great mass of the peo- | ple of Eurcpe are resolute to bring tt oa ooner or | later.

Like every movement on the politic cal field, this 1s met with opposition from those who have no scruples about expending large sams | of money, When it 6 their particular faney or j | personal pocket. They never ery out, or get | alermed, when the spoil «re within their owa } | reach; and nso harmless and requisite an em- | ployment as completing work already nearly finished, there seems to be no just cause for come | ploint Now, we not only go in for the extra session, but advocate the necessity for it, on a new and impor- taot basis. Let the members have it, and, as itis | 10 be held in the suminer, by all means let Sara- toga be the field chosen. The State House is too | badly venulated, and it 18 too mach to ask respect- | able and honorable members to remain ia Albany | during the degedays. Let them | point at Saretoga, whence their light may be dif | fused, not only over the realm of fashion, but to | | the remotest borders of the State. Last year, Sa- | | ratoga wes in 9 disorganized and shabby geateel po- sition, and sadly required a new code toarrange all | j the balls, sesembbes, dinner parties, téte-a-tétes, love matches, and romantic attachments, together with a proper qualification and use of Congress | water; and Whe knows but that the Legislature | might eacceed in establishing a code, nbdt only | suited to briefless lawyers and caseleas atiorneys, | but to the necessities of the fashionable demzeus | of Saratoga, perfectly lawless as they were last | year, in dress, dancing, music, moonshine, whis- kers, moustaches, qnd wigs, as well as in manners | and morals? Petty soverengnties and elashiog | chques ciepeneed their laws and manif>stoes, last texton, with a degree of usurpation incousisteat | with the “free and equal” requirements of the | constitution, and it is quite ime that we should have this extra session—this State coogress of law givers and fashioanbles—who will be able, by copious Graughis of the genuine Congress water, to wash out the muddy sediment from their intel lect#, and predace a complete, finithed code for the exaltation of society, fashionable, fautastic, or fuil of absurd cradities and outrageous asurpations of the rights of the million By all means, let us have the extra session at | Seratega, with a new newspaper, new telegraph, | anew code, and @ new hat. Tur Caninet anv tae Stavery Question —One | of the principel couces of the present excitement at j Wasrhington, and throughout the South, the end | of which we do pot yet see, may be referred in a | eteat degree to the policy, or rather nonpoliey, } which the present imbecile cabinet advised Gen- | | eral Taylor to adopt at the commencement of the present session, and also, in sending his Califormia | message to Congress. That meseage simply re- commended the admission of Caltornia, without | expressing a single view towards a eettiement or | compromise of the various ether questions con- nected with the acquisition of the new territories. | There was the beginning of the difficulty. The | Southern members in Congress saw at once that | sueh a policy would furnish ground for such abo- | Iitioniets as Seward, Hale and Chase, as chose, to | put forward « fresh agitation in favor of their par- ticular views. The Southern members, therefore, were determined that @ general compromise of the slavery question should ive settled of arranged, be- fore any other act in legitlation shall be permitted to pase. This policy has been rigidly adhered to, and we may yet expect more trouble and excite- ment in Congress, from the want of capacity and courage in the cabinet to grapple with the question.

Pelegraphic Summary, Our telegraphic intelligence, to-day, will be sound very interesting. It will be seen, from a perueal of it, that Mr. Calhoun, of South Carolina, is, We regret to say, nearly at the point of death. We sincerely hope that he may survive his present atinck, and again fillhis place in the councils of the nation. We cannot, however, hold owt mach hope to our readers in the matter. We fear, very much fear, that the spirit of the great Joha C. Calhoun is about to take its departure from the sickly and eoptaminated atmosphere of Washing- top, and sedk a better, a holier, and a more appro- priate sphere. A few days, perhaps a few hours, will decide the mutter. The Senate, at Washington, were yesterday en- geged principally in the discussion of Mr, Clay’s compromise resolutions. Mr. Badger’s speech, oratleesta sketch of It, will be found with the rest of the congressional proceedings on the first page, and we cowmend it to the attention of our readers. Mr. Badger’s views may, or may not, be successful, but it is very certain that some compromise of the nature indicated by him must be adopted, or the mtegrity of the Union will be endangered. But that Union must not, and shall not, and will not, be dissolved. There is rome common sense yet in the North as well as in the South, We im the North may, a8 an abstract thing, coatribute our dollar for Ceylon missions, or towards the comfort of Ethiopian babies just born, by giving therm a red flannel shirt and a moral tract, but we are a sharp, shrewd, cunning set too. We are phi- Janthropists un the abstract, when it costs us no- thing, but when our pockets are tapped, we are no longer the philanthropists that we affect to be. In fact, it is el! affectation, or arrant humbug, for us to say thet the people of the South are not as hue mane and as philanthropic, in every view, as we of the North are. Nay, more than that, for if what individuals term a “general average” were struck, | the balance, in our opinion, would be in favor of the South, as far as real humanity is concerned, irrespectyve of the isms advocated by some of our eocinlist neighbors. * Mr. Hale, of New Hampshire, has had his say in the Senate, on the same subject. He is a second but small edition, of “ Small Potatoes” of New York, without the superficial gilding with which the laiter gentleman has clothed himself. Mr. Hale, et id omne genus, must run their rig—it ia their destymy, and the longer their tether 12, the j better. Give them rope enough, according to the old saw, and they will hang themselves, While, however, they are engaged in that agree- able cecupation, we think the country is safe. As for Mr. Badger’s speech, 1t is entitled to every consideration, for it is plain, honorable, and con- | ciliatory throvghour. ‘The trial of Dr. Webster for the murder of Dr. Parkmoo, as far as it has proceeded, will be found We give it as fully es possi- ble by telegraph, knowing that that celebrated York us it does in Boston, The Latest from Washington, OUR SPECIAL TELEGRAPHIC CORRESPONDENCE.

We sbsali doubsless have many. more speeches in the Sepate upon this subject, andin the meantime the lower house will be deluged with speeches in relation to the admission of California, There are about 230 members in the House of Representatives, and foll three months time will be consumed im debate upom the question This will onrry the session beyond June, ‘and msy transfer the contemplated convention from Nashville to Wasbington, or break it up altogether It is our impression that the whole of the present restion will be used up in speeches upon the slavery question and the admission of California, and we do not believe that the firet movement will be made im either house relaiive to any meeeure touching our firancial or commercial affairs or anything connested with apy of the great interests of the country. For- tunately, our fivancial and commercial-poliey requires: no material alteration; the systems are very near per- fect as they are, or as they can be made, where so much. party prejudioe is brought to b-ar upon legislation, and we hall not lose much, at all events, if Congress does pot meddie with the tariff or Independent Treasury, during this or any future session, The annexed statement exhibits the quotations for foreign and domestic exchanges, for specie, and for un- current money :— Foksien Buon, a 108) ‘ to Bre POTATIONS FOR SPRCIR. er cent 106 9106 Gacotes dolls, $106 100s tive Bice freuea.. por a0 abloone.
