Every day something is occurring to remind us that we are a commercial nation. at our love of money excecds our love of men is too oftea forced upon our attention, and that in too prominent a amanner to adiitof denial. We are not yet well -out of an act of dunning for our debts on a large scale, which has threatened to embroil us with some of the most powerful European Siat “here are we aypealed to on behalf of the actual rights and liberties of the subject—and we take it very coolly. We have sent out a fleet to collect the debts due to a British specul a Por- tuguese consul and Jew, who hangs himself on the peg of our nationality, by virtue an abode in Gibraltar ; and we have carried the whole with a high hand towards Greece, est that if these two individuals are not paid, we wi ' off property by foree, and pay them ourselves, ‘Sn the heels of this haught and sveneaies, de. smonstration comes a complain: that the United States of America have seized a British subject on board @ British veesel, in the harbor of Charleston, and incarcerated him for a fortnight, for no other ~offence thon that he has a black skin and wooll hair. All men, women and children with blac skins and woolly hair, the Americans declare to be, to some new revelation, which they keep to themselves, made by heaven for the entire use of the whites. Nay, they have no business to have black skins, woolly hair, and liberty; and that who- ever presumes to give Noert jo one of that race, without Pee | leave of the United States, commits acrime which warrants the Americans in setti aside all the laws of nations in order to puni them. By the treaty of 1815, all persons being ‘land. rves the treaty to the letter. Ameri« cans of all sorte—white, black, bine, or yellow, or of any other imaginable color—whether their hair be ywoolly or straight—may walk from John 0° Groat’s to the Land's End, and nobody attempt to interfere with them. But America does not, on her side, keep the treaty.

His chivalrous lordship, who sent off « feet to the Dardenelles, to resist the att.ck on the rig hrs of Tungartions, end who sen’ another to seize the vessels, and blockade the port of Athens for satiefan- tion to the pockets of an English epreulator anta Portaguese Jew, in thie case -oolly replies that it ix no news to hin fcthat it ie an old practice with ‘America ; but on remonetrating with thot State, ia 1347, co this subject, the answer he gu! was, that « as the point of | ing were | , | Wer prices oud was the law of Louisiana and Carolina, and that, as the federal government knew that it could nei- ther persuade nor compe! those States to repeal the | law, all that they could do was to put anend to the treaty of 1815, if the English government insisted | on protecting the rights of its subjects. Now, are we to believe that if Russia had threatened to put an end to the treaty of 1815, if Lord Palmerston did not recall his fleet from the Dardanelles, that he | would have done it ?—or that, if Russia or France | had threatered the same thing, if we did not retire | from the Pireus and from the claims of Mr. Fin- | layson and Don Pacifico, that he would have done it? | _ Or are we to suppose that Lord Palmerston is willing to put himself and England into the attitude of a cowardly bully and braggadocio? That he will hector the weak for owning pence, when he | dare not even make a fair and manly demand of justice, and the faith of treaties, from the strong? Are we to suppose that if we had money demands | on America, we should have sent a fleet there to enforce them; or that if Greece had violated the rights of British subjects in their own persons, we should quietly put up with it, allowing her, in fact, | to do just as she liked? Does Lord Palmerston | mean to make himself the cat’s-paw of Portuguese. Jews and British jobbers, and to humbly walk off when a strong power insults the British nation in the persons of its subjects, and says we are not disposed to alter our practice? Does he mean to act the bumbuailiff, in the collection oper debts, | and to negleet the most sacred rights of nations an of British subjects? That, however, is precisely, at the present mo- | ment, the sition in which Lerd Palmerston stands, and in which he has placed this country. The heetoring over the weak for pecuniary de- mands, and the succumbing to the strong, Where the laws ef nations and the personal liberties of | Englishmen are concerned, stand in strange and humiliating contrast. We trust that the public will not allow this mat- ter to rest. We trust that it will communicate to Lord Palmerston and the government, that after the affair of Greece, the honor of the country is concerned to see the nghts of Englishmen asserted in America. We must do this, or bear the inevi- table choracter of cowardly bullies, Our swagger will hereafter be estimated at its true value. It is for ihe nation to remind our goverument, of what itis apt to forget, that it places a higher value on j the honor of the State and on the person of its citizens, than on any amount of money; that it ceres nota farthing or a fig whether those citizens | are black, white, green, or gray—it is enough that they ere Englishmen, and we are bound by the honor of tue men, by the faith of weaties, and the laws of nations, to protect and defend them. But, cays Lord Palmerston, they thteaten to put | an_end to the treaty of 1815. Is that sueh an awfal r? Does not any nation lop through that | treaty at its pleasure? Where is Posen, where Gallicia, where Cracow? Is there not a white as | well asa black side to this question? Will the | Americans go to war to defend a breach of faith in the slave-dniving population of the South? Will | the South break with England for this?’ Where, | then, would be its great cotton market, with- | out which the whole South would be bankrupt at | once? | No! the laws of nations, and the best sentiments | of the whole human race, would be against America in such a contest. She cannot, and she would not, seriously attempt to maintain such a strife. We have only to assert our rights tex | rately but firmly, and to obtain them. The slave- drivers might and would bluster a while, but the best portion of the cayenne of the United States | themselves would be against them. There are too | many commercial and other intsrests in existence | toendanger a rupture with the United States on | account of our just, honest, and imperative demand | of the inviolability of our countryinen on bourd of our own vessels. If we yield to the bullying insolence of the Caro- | linien glave-driver, after the position we have as- sumed in Turkey and in Greece, we shall deserve the contempt of the whole civilized world—and we shall have it. HOUSE OF COMMONS. Monpay, Axril 29. SPIT URE OF Paitin sURINCTS AT CHALESTUN Mr. Cocknunn asked the noble Secretary for | Foreign Aflairs, in reference to the case of the steward of the British bark Mary Anne, who had been eeized and imprisoned by the authorities of Charleston, for no specified offence but that he was aman of color, whether the noble lord had used y endeavors with the government of the United States to prevent British sul,ects from having their liberty invaded, and persons incarcerated, by so ; scandalous a violation of the principles that should regulate the intercourse of civilized nations % Lord Vanmersron regretted that the subject to which the honorable and learned member had drawn the attention of the House was by no means new to the government. It wasa fact thatthere existed a law in Carolina and Louisiana by which free men of color, whether foreigaers or citizens of some other State of the U. were subject to im- wment, With a view of their ultimate removal irom the territories of those States. It was uane- cessary for him to express the opinion which every member who heard him must entertaia with res | peetto such a law. In 1817 her Majesty's govern- ment caused a note to be presented to the govern- ment cf. the United States, remonstrating against | the law os not only inconsistent with the estab- lished polity of nations, but at variance with a'por- tion of the first articles of the treaty of 1815, be- ‘tween Great Britain and the United States, under which all subjects and citizens of the two countnes were to be permitted freely to enter, freely to re~ side in, and freely to quit the territories of each. ‘To this note Mr. J/uchanan, then the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs of the United States, gave a Verbal answer, to the efiect that the federal go- vernment hadno power to induce the Legislature of the State of Carolina to revoke the law; and that, ifthe British government insisted on its right the government of the United States would ind the question so impossible to deal with that it would be obliged, however reluctantly, to teke advantage of the stipulation contained in the treaty of 1827, and put en end to the treaty of 1516 upon giving tw: month's notice. It did not appear to her Majesty's government that any commensurate advantages would, under such circumstances, result from further pressing the matter. A pe in the Cork Constitution shows that confederate or democratic clubs have been revived in that city. The Beliast papers of Wednesday state “ on the highest authority,” that the university arrange- ments, embracing the different faculties of three colleges, are now on ‘he eve of being completed, and be in @ very short time, be publicly an- nounerd.

Aspect of Affairs in France—The Parts Elec- {Prom the London Times, May 1.) The result of the poll in Paris, as far as it was known yesterday morning, stood as follows, and leaves no doubt of the success of the socialist can- didate. (His actual majority is 8,036.—Ep. Hz- raLp.] The numbers were— Eugene 8ue 125,352 Leclere . 117,117 Mojority for Suc Although, therefore, we have carefully abstained from all speculation on a subject so entirely obscure ‘as the caprices of universal suffrage and the force of the democratic party, we may now safely assume that the contest is decided—that itis decided against the earnest hope of the great bulk of the middle classes, against the government, against the Na- tional Assembly, and against the cause of law, order, and society in France. A more decisive eveat and a more complete defeat could hardly proce A from Both parties strained every nerve to the encounter; the whole strerg:h of both par- ties was concentrated on a single candidate. The conservative interest in Paris had been wamed and stimulated by the deplorable consequences of the preceding election of the 10th of March; yet the socialists, nothing daunted by the disparaging con- sequences of their former victory, did not hesitate to provoke a renewal of the contest, and appareatly they hed not miscalculated their discipline and their strength) The former election might pass for a evish warning to the government, whose acts sometimes crossed the humor of the people ; present is a more positive declaration of hos- . and it removes all doubt as to the ultimate effect of universal suffrage in France, if that form | be Rermanenily given to the supreme euthority of the State. Universal suffrage in the hands of a people placed in such conditions of intelligence and wealth as exist in France, means nothing else than the prostitution of political power by the artifices of those whose sophisms can impose on the narrow judgment of the populace, or by the more fatal sr yes of those who kindle their passions to the height of anarchy and spoliation. In this election the candidates on both sides were unworthy of notice, and served rather to detract from than to augment the strength of their respec- tive parties. M. Lurene Sue, living the life of a Sybarite in a retreat trom which no excess is ba- niched, is a ridiculous representative ef the hard- ships of the class which have elected him. M. Leclere, a paper maker, inthe rue St Joseph, who had fought boldly on the barricades, was equally vnfit to represent a party which claims as its own | the intellect, the wealth, and the traditions of | r It is probable that the respective defects of these two candidates were more powerful recom- | mendetions to the electors than their merits. Sue was not elected for his powers of intellect, nor was M. Leclere supported for his political consis- he one was selected for his reckless attacks 1 and religious institutions; the other for his freedom frem all party color. In reality, however, the struggle lay not between the men at all, but between the principles they happened to represent. ‘The principle of the revolution has triamphed—that of the government has been undeniably beaten. Probubly some minor circumstances, such as the abeurd and vexatious persecution of the news-ven- ders by the police, the evident disposition of the authorities to introduce measures of partial repres- sion, have contributed to swell the | majority by some thousand votes. But these interferences ith the liberty of the subject are not felt in Paris hey are in England. “ Nobody cares for Emile rdin’s elabora.e protests on legality; and a government is never less likely to perish in France than when it acts upon its own convictions and takes the law into its own hands. But, substan- tially, we doubt whether any policy which the President or his advisers ooald pursue with th concurrence of the present Assembly, would he produced any material diflerence. “The question isnot one of policy, but of possession. ‘Che long array of electors who record their votes in oppo- — to the sqveramest, wre led by mea whose Ore Eee why oi ee SRE TAT boundless patronage, the guy delights of power, the prizes of revolution, the sovereignty of F The actual enjoyment of these advantag ed but the other dey within the grasp, not, indeed, of the populace, but of those who have the art of mak- ing the populace their dupe and their tool.

Their warfare is of enother kind. The constitution of 1849 se- cures them a sufficiently ample field, and upon that ground they sveceed in combining every fraction of the republican party. If the attack come at all, it must come from the other side, for, as we observed the other day, the relative attitudes of the two parties are so changed that the revolution has assumed the tone of legal authority, whilst authority and law are driven to borrow the expedients of revolution. But, on the side of the mojority in the Assembly, there is nei- ther that onion which establishes the ascendancy of a political party, nor that genius which supplies its place, A man who should, to a high degree, represent the wishes and interests of the nation, would find it as easy, or probably more easy, to wean the socialist republicans from their illusions, than to wean the chiefs of the majority from their divisions, their systems, and their intrigues. Under the pressure of circumstances so threat- ening, it is by n0 means impossible that the Presi- dent, who sees the extreme dangers of the coun- try, and has now a periect knowledge of the value of his advisers, should take counsel of no- thing but his own courage and resolution, and pe his fortune to the touch, “to win or lose it all!’ But except it be from the fatalism which seen to bow the French nation in whichever direction the wind may rit, we see little reason to anticipate that such an enterprise would end gloriously or succes# fully for Louis Napoleon.
