New York, Monday, June 24, 1850, News from California, Two weeks later news from California will pro- bably be received this week, perhaps to-day, by the Ohio, or Crescent City. Telegraphic Summary. Our telegraphic intelligence received last night, notwithstanding the thunder storm, augurs for a busy week in Washington, commencing from to- morrow. Mr. Doty, of Wisconsin, it appears, has been maturing a new bill in reference to the ad- mission ef California, of such a character that the South will resist it. We cannot believe that Mr. Doty can much improve on the plan of compromise now before Congress on this subject, but he may neverthelees propose something that may be ac- ceptable to the North and the South. We shall goon learn. Friday last was a memorable day in the annals of New Orleans. On that day the grand jury found true bills of indictment against the eele- brated General Lopez, and several persons well- known in the United States, and some of them holding important offices, on account of the Cuba invasion. The trials of these gentlemen will be interesting and exciting, and we shall lay the par- ticulers before our readers at the earliest moment possible. The Cambri: Matls—Polltiogd PTopies in Europe. Our European files have given us full accounts of all that has transpired with respect to the Greek question, the recent demonstration against Cuba by a handful of men from our shores, and the passage of the electoral law of France. Opinions from foreign papers, on these subjects, will be found in our columns. The humiliating position in which the English ministry have been placed on the Greek question, seems to be tolerated with some degree of unblush- ing coolness on the part of the English press, pro- bably helped, in this particular, by the ardent counter-irritation produced by the probable inva- sion of Cuba by our citizens.

The British nation is not without its precedents in similar expeditions, and has more than once fitted out forces in the face of day, for fally as questionable enterprizes. We do not yet forget the legion of cavalry that went to South America, in the days of Bolivar, from Eng- land; and Spain herself has reason to remember a few more cases ofa likekind. We do not approve, however, of this conduct any more for the renown and boldneas of the examples. Our enly objectis to visit with all reasonable retaliation, the gross charges in the English newspapers, brought agains, the United States and her people, who have had no share in this invasion, beyond that which the folly of a few individuals may have given them by a gratuitousimplication. Whenthe United States go- vernment yerpetrates such acts of injustice as Great Britain has just done to Greece—when it breaks faith, menaces and talks loudly, refuses to accept 4 fuir proposition from an ally, and, being fairly cor- nered, confused, and shut down upon, imitates Shy- Jock in the play, and takes the best that is to be had witheut the asking—then it may be time for some such virtuous censure and full-taced moral, reproach as is now, indubitably, due to England.

Here is the distinction between the Paris of the republic and the Paris of royalty. Everybody in France knows this—every one feels it. “The old, titled families, filled with hopes for the resurreetion of a throne, have clutched and clung to their wealth, teady to migrate at the first intimation of any further disaster. Now they may feel safe, and watch the progress of events till the year 1852, at which time we may expect to know the political reeulte of the electoral law. It is not the policy of France to drive away ite wealth; and the passage of a law so wholesome and conservative, will re- store tranquillity to the old families. They willfear no longer the murmurings of the Mountain, and grow no longer pale in the presence of the rouges. The power of Gen. Changarnier is their fortress, and behind it they will be willing to abide, till events ripen into the prospect of some great change—not very likely to happen, and yet not unexpected by those persons whose desires are the fathers of their hopes. From all that we can gather, the tendency of the people, for mere political intrigue’s sake, to make a cause for a new government, out of the proposition to abridge the universality of the fran- chise, has failed, not merely from their headlong strength being inefficient, but from the positive pre- ference ofthe majority for something like the order of government. A wild and nomadic class of peo- ple, having no interest in quiet, and in the steady progress of labor, should never be entrusted with any portion of that power to which enlightened freemen are entitled. There are always enough in society who are careless of the elective fran- chise, without seeking to add to their numbers from the idle, wandering, dissolute, and disorderly, whose only home isthe spot of their immediate in- clinations, and who never contribute a farthing either to individual or national prosperity. To cut them off is to enlarge the sum of virtuous liberty, and to protect them from the outrages which their own ignorance would inflict upon themselves. Slaves to their own follies, whims, caprices, and idleness, the State is always right in being the guardian of theirdestiny. This isthe reason and the law of the social compact, and cannot be de- stroyed by sophistry or political cunaing. With these views, we hope the best for the destiny of the French republie. Generat Lopez in rue Sovru—Sinautar Davet- OPEMENT oF American SentimeNt.—The singular reception which Lopez has received in the Southern cities, and particularly during his recent arrest and examination in New Orleans, presents some im- portant facts, developing the condition of public feeling in that region of the Union, which ought to be dwelt upon with great care and much philosophy, by all diplomatic characters, as well as by foreign and domestic governments. Instead of being re- ceived as an outcast, a wanderer, a pirate, a defeat- ed adventurer, he has been treated by the populace as if he were a hero of the first water, and actuated by the purest sentiments and most honest purposes which could animate a human being. It is even probable that the effort made in New Orleans, to bring him under the jurisdiction of the laws of the United States, for his palpable violation of them, in his expedition to Cuba, will be entirely overruled and set aside, not only by the sympathy of public opinion, but by the very negligence and secret feel- ings of the public officers under the government of the United States in that region. One of the most singular facts, in connection with public feeling in New Orleans and the South, is the circumstance that the public officers in whose charge were entrusted the arms and muni- tions of the government, actually distributed them privately and secretly to those adventurers, before leaving New Orleans. This, and other cireum- stances, clearly show, that however wrong or ille- gal, or however-somuch in opposition to the policy of this republic, or the disposition of the present government it may be, there trong and power- ful feeling in favor of a revolution in the island of Cuba, and an ardent desire for the acquisition of that rich gem of the ocean, and its annexation to the United States, in some shape or another. No ‘iter how erroneous this feeling may be, or how fulse its basis, it exists throughout the Southern cities, and, to a very great extent, in the Western States. That feeling, to a small degree, exists also in the Northern cities, and among the Northern people. It has slumbered for many a year past, but haw been awakened into action under Lopez by the success of the Mexican war, and will yet break out in some terrible shape, in violation of all laws and all treatie: d the United States government, as well as those of England and Spain, may prepare for such a result. During the recent invasion of Cuba, with the existing state of public feeling at the South, we are perfectly satisfied that ncthing but the strong posi- tion, and confirmed popularity and determination of Gen. Taylor, could have accomplished what has been done, in regard to the efforts made to prevent the invasion. We are persuaded from the revela- tions that are making of the conduct of the public officers in New Orleans towards the expedition, that the cabinet at Washington were a party to it, and were secretly in favor of the attempt of Lopez toa certain extent. Nothing, therefore, but the rigid integrity, honesty, and determination of the President, prevented that expedition from acquiring greater strength than it did, or made the cabinet pureve the independent course which it was com- pelled to adopt. But the future is the most dan- gerous ground to look at. According to the last accounts from Europe, it seems that very violent debates have taken place in the British Parliament, | in reference to the expedition to Cuba; and as soon as those debates are published in the journals threughout the continent, we have no doubt that | the very fact of the British Parliament denouncing | it, will give popularity to everything connected with | it emong the American people. The blanders, in- | capacity, and almost cowardice of Lopez, and many | of his associates, may pass away fron the remem- | brance of the present generation—but the idea which | has existed for some years p: mong the people | of this country, and which still exists, of driving all European powers from the islands and other pos- | sessions on this continent, north and south, will | gain strength by years, and will increase in force | end momentum by any attempts of the British Parliament, or any other government in Europe, to } put it down | | With such a view of the future course of pub- | lic feeling on this continent, in connection with Cuba and the rest of the West | will be wise forthe Spanish governme: | tish government, and the American go: to open very high and important negot the setilement and disposition of thos *, we think it » the Bri- important estions relative to the fate of Cuba, and the rest of the West Indies, caleulated to es hereafter, and based on the opinion of the prevent serious unalterable merican people, cult tendencies of who now number twenty-five m ¢, and who will, ina few years, become the stro: st nation in either the old or the new world.

Some intimations were held out from some quarters, bas- ed principally on the remarks of Mr. Willis before the police, that a dael might grow out of the affair, or at least a journey to Canada, for some such bel- ligerent purpose. We perceive, however, that the fashion has changed within the last twenty years, very considerably, ia New York, and that men of fashion ‘do not now think of fighting with pistols when they can make war against each other with pettifoggers. Well, itis perhaps as good a course to take as any other. As far as Mr. Forrest is concerned, we believe he received the intimations of such a suit being eom- menced aguinst him, with feelings of great delight and eftisfaction. On the trial, the unfortunate ar- tiet will have an opportunity of bringing forward all the evidence in reference to the unhappy diffi- culties which caused him to proceed to the extremi- ty which he did in Washington Square—an extremi- ty which we by no means justify—which was contrary to law, and cannot be approved of, whate- ver may be its terrible aggravation, or the ago- nizing feeling which caused him to adopt such a course. Indeed, this affair between Forrest and the eoterie of male dandies who were around Mrs. Forrest while he was en pro- fessional journeys, will be brought forward, and the whole evidence given to the world, from the beginning to the end—from alpha to omega. Only @ portion, and a small portion, of the evidence has yet appeared in the public journals—that which was given tothe Legislature of Pennsylvania. Since that time, new, stronger, more powerful, more start- ling evidence, of a remarkable character, has vo- luntarily come forth and been furnished to Mr. For- rest, with additional facts, which will, when placed before this or any other community, tend to set the matter in a most important light relative to him as an injured man, and the fashionable scoun- drels who trespassed on his grounds, his home, and his house, during his periods of absence. This is, indeed, a lamentable and melancholy affair. We mean not te say a single word calculat- ed to do injustice toany one. We have seen much, and read much, and heard much, and we have rea- son to believe that some of the most astounding revelations will yet come on this community, like a thunder clap, for which few will be repared, and which few will be able to resist. ‘The spoilers of Edwin Forrest’s happiness have been a clique of personages who ought to be scouted, cut, denounced, and turned out of all decent society in a Christian and moral community. We have had too much of these foreign immoralities, under the name of fash- ion, introduced into our — social system on this continent, and it is time fer an independent and moral public opinion, sustained by the press, to take ground inst any further iatroduction of fashionable, political, or philosophical socialiem, from any part of the Old World. Tue Porr, anv or Stats Arratrs at Rome.—The other day the Right Rev. Bishop Hughes of New York, who cannot refrain from mixing in politics for three or four weeks together, and who always finds time, amid the discharge of his religious and other multifarious duties, to supply some jour- nal or other with an oceamonal flourish from his pen, displayed the extraordinary fertility of his genius in an original article, under theThead of the “ American and English Press and the Roman Government,” which in length occupied one of the mammoth columns of a journal in Wall street; and which he seems to have regarded as a pro- duction either too important or too insignificant to be inserted in his own small organ, The Freemans’ Journal. The fundamental idea which pervades the numerous paragraphs of this elaborate composition, is the injustice of the English and American press, in eternally holding forth the Pope and his Cardi- nals as objects of ridicule, raillery and vituperation. In demonstation of the partiality of the press, his lordship reads a truthfal and well directed lesson to modern journalists in general, although his rea- ®oning, in many instances, is unsatisfactory. The argument, that the equally prosperous condition of the Roman people on an average with other nations, in point of an abundance of food and clothing, should be regarded by the press as a rea- son for mitigating their censure and denunciation of the pontifical government, is weak, deficient, and not strietly conclusive. It is not destitution nor the insufficient supply of the necessaries of life, which makes a nation the frequent subject of pub” lic criticism and discussion. It is its political condi- tion—its periods of excitement, of fermentation and ¢ommotion—its governmental vicissitudes and re- forme—and pray, what nation has of late witnessed withia such a brief space of time such convulsions as the Romant—what government has undergone such vicissitudes, such subversions as the Romant—and what people have given evidence of more dissatis- faction than the Roman? and we regret having to add, that, so far as regards the present, the medita- ted flight of the Pope for a second time speaks but little in favor of the peace and tranquility which is said to prevail in the city of Rome. The uniform tenor of the Bishop’s arguments in Vindication of the Roman government, is also characterized by a degree of weakness and mani- fest contusion. In the outset he alludes to the ad- mirable qualities of the present Pope ; but it is not the person of Pius IX. we complain of. His purity of morals, his humanity of feeling, and his benefi- cence of intention are universally admitted. It is his government—the mixed condition of his gov- ernment—that his people and the liberal press of Europe and América complain of. It is the combi- nation of the civil, military, and ecclesiastical au- thority in one body, that forms the topic of such | frequent and general di.cussion among journalists and politicians. We should wish the Pope to look back to the times whea Christianity was in the | plenitude of its purity—when St. Petr, the apostle, | and his immediate successors, fur a period of nearly four centuries, enjoyed neither military nor civil jurisdiction, but solely confined themselves to their | own authority in religious aflairs. It was only after the fall of the Western Romana Empire, when | Constantine the Great removed the seat of govera- | ment from Rome to Constantinople, that the popes acquired the Roman territories, and united the | ecclesiastical jurisdiction of the head of the church with that of a secular sovereign. The fact that the existing pontificial goverament has subsisted for some fourteen hundred years, is ho sw reason that it should still be conformable to the characteristics of the present age ; and we are per- fectly convinced that the time is fast approaching, when the Pope and his cardinals will be compelled nelens volens, to divest themselves of all civil and military authority. The whole string of arguments, in fact, which Bishop Hughes advances ia defence of the Pope | and in support of his government, seems to us un- worthy of the exalted position ef his holiness. Appealing indirectly to the ree nd senti- mentality of the public, they place the pontiff ina pitiable condition. His lordship should have as- sumed a loftier stand, and based his ratiocinations on bolder grounds. le should have entered on a philosophical exposition of the causes and citeum- stances which have ocensioned the difficulties and emberracements of the Pope, atld which have giv- | | | redo, $14,000. | FIFTEEN DAYS LATER FROM CALIFORNIA.
