EUROPEAN NEWS. Our French Correspondenes, Panis, June 6, 1950. The Electoral Law—The Greek Question— Further Proceedings of the Nutronal Assembly—Evwropean Politws. The greatest event of the week has been the vote on the electoral law, which took place on the Bist ult, the bill haviag been carrid bya very large majority. The number of voters was six huadred and seventy-four, which were thus di- vided:—Aguinst the law, 433; inits favor, 241— majority ia favor of the law, 192. This was a fore- seen result, and did not produce much astonish- ment in \political circles. The law deprives about four miljxons of Frenchmen of their rights as citi- zens republigans ; but it increases the strength of the bpnest people—of those who had, in voting, but Awe desire of insuring the happiness of their try. The fight between the two parties—the ** moderates” and the “ moantainers”—has been very violent. At every sitting, the ‘socialist mem- bers of the Astembly have appeared with bundles of petitions against the law, signed by unknown people, and countersigned by themselves, speeches, with those of Messrs Victor Ilugo, La- grange, Lamartine, Nadaud, and others, have had the eloquence of a bad cause; and yet they wero stamped with much fervor and energy. No one, during this political batile—in the course of this Romaa expedition in the interior of France,” as it was called by M. de Montalambert—has spared himeelf. Messrs. de Lartagrie, Baroche, Monta- lambert, Berryer, Thiers, and Faucher, have every- where adopted the same march against the com- | Mop enemy; aud iti no more than true to say, Their | preewing the grief he has felt on account of the law | promulgated in Piedmont, as well as on account ef | the arrest of the Archbishop of Turin, Mensigeor ; Franzoni. This speech is all er impolitic, at this present moment, for it is relative to matters | which were not to be touched after the re-establish- | ment of the temporal poe of the popedom. It scema to me, as well as to every man of sense, that Pius 1X. had many other things to look upon, than to censure the acts of the government of Pied- mont, Another very curious document is the claim now presented by England fer the recovery of a sum of money amounting to £12,000, for indemnity of the losses suflered by several British subjects during the republican domination of Garibaldi. Thus, the Pope will be obliged to pay the money stolen by those persons who expelled him out of his domi- nions. This is another trick of Lord Palmerston, who is decidedly the best constable in England. M. de Reyneval, our ambassador at Rome, ar- rived there on the 20th ult., and delivered into the hands of the Pope his credentials as mandataire of France. The kingdom of*Sicily is very quiet for the resent. American fleet, which was in the arbor, has been divided in two parts. Two of ita men-of-war will remain ia Naples, and the third one goes to the Adriatic Sea, with private instruc- tions received from Washington. The English squadron was daily expected from Malta, where Admiral Parker was at the last accounts. Aflaira on the other side of the Khine, are daily taking a very serious aspect. The famed word, Il faut en fatre, we must put an end to it,) is in the’ mouths of all the German politicians. Whilst the madman Sefeloge tries to murder the King of Prussia, the plenipotentiaries of Germany have congregated at Frankfort, the Emperor Nicholas arrived at Warsaw, to take into his hands | the dizection of the afiaire of Europe. This meet- ing of the Czar with the potentates of Germany, is a very important matter, which will very likely be | the cause of important consequences. The prince, | heir of Prussi id the minister prince Swartzen- | burg of Austria, were present in thie assembly, | where will certainly be decided the affairs of Ger- | many and Denmark. The Emperor Nicholas, hat they have dealt terrible blows to their adver- aries. Nevertheless, whilst I admire the acute end bitter speech of M de Montalambert, I deplore he epoch which ailowed the usage of such lan- uage. Well, the sentence has been delivered ; the work of the Assembly is finished. It only now remuins to be known how France will accept this measure, undertaken, followed, and achieved by its mandatartes The electoral law was promulgated by the Moni- tewr, on the 3d inst. You will allthe French and English papers. It is, in my opinion, a lame law, not well digested, and con- taining many defective parts, which will produce trouble if ever put into execution with much rigor. It does not enter into the sphere of my correspon- dence, to point out to your readers the different rea which are not only whimsical, bat also bers icable. They will find it themselves. eighth article contains the greatest nonsense ever invented by a law-muker, as well as the ninth and tenth articles. But there is no cause to be asto- nished atit. The law was made in such a hurry that the reventeen have forgotten to mention that it wes aso to be applied to the elections ef the de- pertments and counties. The next debate in the National Assembly was | upon the stamp te be put on the bills of exchange, and the tax which had been previously adopted, Was rejected by 326 votes against 302. This vote had a very favcrable effect on the Bourse of Paris. The last, but not the least important proposition | brought before the National Assembly, was a pro- jeet of a law which had been elaborated in the private councils of the Elysee. The question is to obtain a su) plement of three million of francs in additicn to the present salary of the President. M. Achilles Fould, Minister of Finances, and a banker, to whom, it is said, Louis Napoleon is indebted for @ very large sum of money, presented the project of that law to the tribune yesterday afternoon. ‘The hearing of that proposition created much as- tonishu ent among the whole audience, and after a debate ef a few moments, in spite of the demand of M. Fould, which was to have the project examined by the comnuesion of supplementary credits, it was | decided that it would be brought before a commis- gion named by the “bureaux.” Ithas been cal- culated that now-a-days the President of France had “three thoufmnd ‘three hundred and uurty- three francs” to spend every day; but it appeara that this sum of money is not sufficient for his ex- Rensens, and if the three million are granted, Lou Napoleon will possess “ten thousand france a day,” to epend as he pleases, without any control. it is very much doubted, in political circles, that this law will be eccepted. The state of our finances is 80 precarious, our commercial position so pecu- liar, that instead of increasing our expenses, we ought to reduce them. ‘he Natic for the year to come. ney are three, who have been nominated in the following order :—Genera! Letlé, M. de Sanat, and M. Baze. The debste of to-day, was upon a very queer question. Our legisleiors wished to have a tax upon the “dogs” of France. The aiscussion oa the unfortunate animals, was very funny, and it ended amidst much laughter, not only in the tri- buner, bat alse among the representatives them- selves. A rumor was epread in the couloirs of the Na- tional Assembly, that the umittes of Se- venteen,” the same who have presented the elec- tora! law, have tried to induce Louis Napoleon to withdraw his project of an augmentation ef three ations to his salary. Will he doit? I doubt it much. Parties are preparing for the election in the de- partment of the “Bas Khin.” The moderate party presents Mr. Charles Maller, whilst the socialists ave nominated Messrs. Liechtemberg and Emile de Girardin. Apropos, the publisher of the Presse, who had been summoned before the tribunal of Correctional police, for having printed and published a peution against the electoral law, was acquitted this morn- ing, whilet Mr. Pilon, his printer, was condemned 40 & fine of 3,000 francs, and to the costs of the tri Girardin, the most feared enemy of the govern- ment, would thus escape a punishment which he had very well merited. You must not imagine that the Socialis®, though « little crusied by the war @ owtrance, feel as if vanquiehed. On Friday last, May 3ist, the police invaded, hetween ten and twelve o' ‘clock, the piace calied the “Union of the Associations,” situated Th the Rue Michel Lecomte, and found there all the delegates of the cot tions congre- my in council. They were abeut fifty-seven, forty-eight men and nine a ae ‘was the fumed socialist * blae stocking,” Madame Jane Lerourn, « friend, | understand, of Messra. Brisbane aod Dana, of New York. The whole night was consecrated by the police to search the houses of the prisoners! where a great number of wenpone, emuvition, and lots of confederates were found. In the mean time the constables were ar- resting, in the Quartier St. Martin, fifty persons Mmanviacturing powder and cartridges. On the foliow ing days many arrests were made, and it is now well known that there is a large conspiracy arranged all over the country to upset the present veTnment, es soon ae they could find the chance. hile thie is teking place in Paria, the city of Beziers also witnessed thejarrest of another gang of conspirators. They were divided into sixteen banda, each commanded by a chief, and the attack was to begin at sixteen different points. These goeoe were discovered by the authorities of ziers, end the leaders ot this infernal design were all taken prisoners. A lorge quantity of powder, and sleo mony bags of material ready to be em oa 4 in the manufacture of powder, were seized by the authorities, Such is the present position of parties in France. The changes to be made in the ministry are still the subject of much talk. It appears now as cer. tain thet M. D"Hautpoul is to retire from the Min- istry of Wor, snd to be replaced by General La Hite. M. D’Heutpoul will go to Algiera, to take the command of the colony. M. Drouyn de Lhoys, ambassedor of France to England, would Feplac e General La Hitte in the nunistry of foreign aflone. The “Geek question,” between France and Great Britain, theogh not yet settled, is advancin: towards its close; and the rej of our regolar an friendly intercourse is an affair to be arranged with time and much diplomacy. Lord Normanby has not left Paria; and he still lives in his hotel of the Rue Fauburg St. Honore. Nevertheless, it is understood that, as soon as the Matier will be cleared, he will pay a visit to Loa- don, at least for a short time. The note of Russia ie expected with much impatience by the two countries. The rumor that the Emperor had re- called bis ambassador was false; but he may do it with the intention of increasing his influence in the western part of the continent. Lord Palmerston is very much shaken in his country, as well as in Frence; and if the question had not been softened, es it is now, he would have been forced to retire frem the cabinet. the minietry with much cunning, and no dow will succeed , The tase news received from Geneva, announce that the Conservative party ie daily progressin, At Berne and Laveainne Wis in talortty..

H.R. Cotton Manufactures in the United States, * [From the London Rconomist. May 25.) Alt ing to some remarks contained in the letter of the Philadelphia correspondent of the Morning | Chronicle, together with a paregraph in the Savan- | nah Republican, of May 1; and, also, certain de- | ductions of the New York Herald, the Economut | proceeds :— | These statements are calculated to awaken se- Not that we are under any ap- pow of Manchester, what- the New England exotics. It | rests on the solid foundation of the wants of man- | kind. It has no factitious origin. It has not been cockered into existence by an artificial political | system, which the death of a man or a change of | opinion may annihilate. It has grown = in spite | of many political obstacles, and though other towne | may become manufacturing, and prosper by TOW! | ing the arts of Manchester, they will rather tend to | increase than diminish ber preaverty ‘The num- ber of bodies to be clothed, or population, is in creasing more rapidly than ever. Undoubtedly the number to be clothed in communication with Man- chester, and their desire for superior clothing, is | continually augmenting ; and now that Manches- | ter enjoys the advantage of free trade in food and | free carriege by sea for goods, there is, we believe, | no fear that her gage A will decline, unless she lay suicidal hands on herself. a" She alone can destroy her own tnese. If, in- tead of associating the working classes in the suc- | cess of all her great enterprises—one means of ac- complishing which we pomted out last week, and the necessity of which a cor lent, in another | part of eur journal, insists on—the masters and the | men, capitilists and laborers are to continue a kiad of war on each other, the latter combining, under | the dictation of demagogues, to stop the running of the machinery for more than ten hours, and de- | claring in fieree language that they * will have a | ten hours’ bill”—and the former using all the | power left in their hands by old laws and customs, or which they can. extort from a legislature little subject to the influence of workmen, to degrade and oppress their intelligent helprnates —and if mu- tual attacks are to be eountenanced and encouraged | by Parliament—Manchester may see, as the New | York Herald predicts, from the rise of cotton mana- factures in the Southern States of the Union, grase grow in her streets. Such a lamentable result may be the consequence of our own foolishness, and the growth. of these new factories across the water, which offer many inducements, even in the slave States, for our own artisans to emigrate ; and the possibility of it should ———, warn our legislature against oon to meddle with a great system which is rapidly developing itself here and in the United States, and which it evidently does not comprehend. ¢, however, are under no apprehensions that Manchester will go to decay from the increasing manufactures and prosperity of other countries. The rapid rise of cotton manufactures in the Seuth is partly attributed to political pique. It is to combat attacks on slavery, und counteract “the malicious anti-slavery of the North,” that the South has lately taken to manufacture with so much zeal. It is as much the offspring of a political theory, and of the protective policy pursued towards the cotton manufacture, as of commercial considerations— motives which alone coll into existence durable establishments. It has, therefore, a political origin. It is not omavel founded on ‘‘price currents ;” and there seeme little doutt but the increasing demand for the raw material, and the rise in ite price, will soon diminish the present zeal, and turn | the exertions of the South from manufacturing cot- ton to increase the quantity grown. Nor is the stoppage in the North encouraging to the Southrons. They may have helsed to injure their countrymen at Lowell and Lawrence by excessive competition, without ans one advantages for themselves. The mills there were originally started from political motives, and sustained from a politieal theory; they have a protection amount- ing in all to thirty per cent, yet that does not suflice to keep them going, while our mille, which have no protection at all, continue at work. The United States government has done all in its power to make Lowell and Lawrence flourish, and their went of success does not indicate a great spe ody success for the new political exotics of the South. Though we cannot assert that the protective duties have raised the price of cotton in the States, as a considerable quantity of them is exported an: competes with our cottons in China and the Brazih yet the manufectorers look for euch a result, an the expectation of being able to tax their country- tmen contributes to instigate the erection of new mills in the South, from the competition of which Lowell and Lawrence are suffering. In some cases of very fine goods, which the Americans either do not produce or are unable to export, the price may be raised by the duties, and the Southrone mey really be able to share the tax which, in op orition to their wishes, the Northern States have en enabled to levy on their countrymen. The | rious reflections. | preflensions for the ever may become o! But Lord Normanby supports | protective policy, however, may not last, or rather, we should say, cannot be long maintained in the States, and then, instead of the Southern States manufacturing cottons for all the world, because they grow the raw meterial, they will, like our own agriculiuriate, be filled with jaints, and will only eucveed if the wants of mankind and the na- tural laws of supply and demand be in their favor. A pw rt of the factories that have been re- cently built, or are now building in the South, ori- ginates in temporary ; and the factitious stimules which calls them ito being, encom falee hopes and extravagance, is more calcu! to retard than promote the successful of i, in the —. fy A re the price labor, compared to E ‘h; and Then the manstectarere have te bef toed oh tore | not more advantageous than pre’ Manchester ree | manufacturers in son than heretofore te dread their competition. There is plenty of manufacturing employmeat te be obtained for all the mills that ever have beoa orever will be built, in clothing the imperfectly clad people of Europe. Thousands, almost millions, amon, ourselves, are not even adequately tected from the weather by bundles of rags, while in a great part of France, Italy, and Hungary, and, generally, of Ceutral Europe, the people are dirty, fetid, and diseased, from wearing unchanged woollens or pe ins. There iva Pro mise, too, of plenty other juce to for clothing, such as wine and oil Barre and corm, now that industry is everywhore picing freedom, and the shackles that were placed on @ soil are rusting on ff our legislature will but steadily follow out the principles it has lately acted on with #o much advantage, and refrain from interfering with factory industry, lest it should inflict a deadly injury on whatit means to benefit, there seems to us DO reason why the progress of Manchester here- after should not be more rapid than heretofore. Should the reverse unfortunately be the case, the Legislature, if itdo not interfere to restrain the manufactures of Manchester, as it has done noth- ing to bolster them up, but Jeft them to their na- tural | ees will not have to reproach itself with their decay. But should the visions of the New York editor be realised, should “the whole earth be supplied with cotton fabrics from the soil and looms of the Southern States, as the ancient world original was by Hindostan, and New York become the great entrepot of Southern cotton man- ufactures for the human race,” what will be reflection of the Governments of Germany and France, which cannot hope that the cotton manu- facturee of Berlin and Rouen will flourish when grass grows in the streets of Manchester? For many years, encouraged by ignorant protectionist writers amongst ourselves, they have labored, causing great injury to their people, to establish manufactures for the sorry and anti-commercial purpoee of being independent of England? If we may infer from the failure of Lowell, that Granite- ville is to be eminently successful, and the South is to realise the visions of American politicians, more prompted by envy of England thana con- sideration of what will Fw pe the happiness of the people—how very futile and childish will then 8 ppear the elaborate and mischievous commercial system of Europe for the purpose of raising up cot- ton manufactures! That great changes, wholly unforeseen by those who undertake to direct the course of society, are in progress, cannot be doubted. They may not be exactly in accordance with the views of the New York Herald, but that the Western Continent, with its rapidly rising cities on the Pacific, and its new, ommunications with the most densely peopled parts of the Old World, is destined to fleet @ great alteration in the condi tien of Europe, can no lenger be doubted. Before whatever it may be, the comme! regulations of our co: re compared to the natural laws which call trade into existence, must give way and vanish, and the governments that are 60 extremely busy in imposing them, wili be unable to escape the con- viction that they have done much present evil without efiecting the future goed they contem- plated. Such has, in fact, been the course in past times. Systems of commercial and fiscal restric- tion have never attained the end proposed, and they alw: have inflicted much injury on society they have existed. i ts relative to Lowell seem to us more in- structive for protectionists than alarming for Man- chester. They show that our little derangements are the reeults 8 m that has affected the United States as well as Europe. No people are more distinguished for commercial acuteness and mechanical ingenuity than the Americans. If pro- srotiag a business can make it flourish anywhere, it will have that effect in the United States. But it has feiled. The protected cotton mills at Lowell have stopped, while the unprotect- ed mills at Manchester are running. There is not enough of other things produeed to pay for the excessive production of manufactured cottons in the States. They have therefore fallen much in price. A considerable portion of the industry of the people which would have been di- rected, but for the artificial system, to growing food or building shipa, has been ton directed to produce cot- for which there is no lon; an adequate and the mills stop. Something of the same kind invariably ‘ns from every species of pro- tection. It is partial, and from its very nature stimu- lates the production of commodities unequally, some being continually in excess and others deficient. But all real exchange is of commodi- ties for one another, of the juets of one species of labor for these of another—and thus the partial nature of gee to make it universal and equal is utterly impossible—de- Tanges production, lessens the quantity of commo- dities to be exchanged for the protected commo- dity, and impedes its rity, aa we see in the agriculture of Old England, and in the cotten ma- nufactures of New England. The stoppage of se- veral cotton mills at Lowell, in spite of a protee- tion on their produce amounting to thirty per cent, appears to us decisive of the fate of the protective system all over the world. When the government and people of the United States cannot make it succeed, no other government and people can; and it must, from the thorough conviction of its being en error—like the belief in witchcraft, or the no- tion that the fo was a fixed point, the centre of creation—fall into oblivion, or become, like these absolute errors, the scorn and mockery of all the intelligent and the wise. A California Swindle in Engla: (rem the London Times, May 90.) In June last, we had occasion to warn the public with respect to a California Gold Regions Associa- tion which had been advertised in the London pa- “pers, with a list of directors whose addresses turned out to be partly, if not entirely fictitious. The warning drew forthe letter of explanation from the ** secretary to the association,” which only made matters worse, and the public having thus pat upon their guard, we received no further communi- cations on the subject. ‘Within theee few days, how- ever, certain printed papers have been transmitted to us by @ correspondent, whose suspicions have been awakened, and which show that the concoct- ers of the concern are still in full activity, and that they must already have raised a considerable sum. The “ California Gold Regions Association,” it ap- peare, has changed its name to the “ Anglo-Califor- nia Gold Mining and Dredging Company,” and the directors have itched an expedition of Cornish miners, under Sir Henry Vere Huntley, R.D Governor of Prince Edward's Island, to arti thet country about the end of the — month. Meanwhile, two reports from a Mr. Jamea'Palmer, “an eminent engineer,” who had been previously sent out as the ineer-in-chief of the company, have been received in England, and are now being nlated with the hope of inducing people to Mr. Palmer announces that, with nephew wnd a party of men, he has reached a Mie trict of ** immense riches” on the Stanislaus river, and that,its principal mines bei a Captain Tremaine, of the United States army, who hed purchased the right to work them for fifty years, o bargein had been made with that gentle- man, by which in consideration of £1,000, he is to allow two-thirds of the luce to be “* transmitted ngland” half yearly.

Other nu- merous encouregements to the speculation remain to be add Tin and nickel have already been collected in large quantities, and the presence of tinum is suspected to an extent that “ will open jource of profit superior even to that of the gold ” Under thesefcircumstances the directors, expect the shares will command a high premium in England “ about the middle of July next,” and the leo entertain no doubt whatever that a first di dend will become payable to shareholders about the month of October. In the fece, however, of all the wealth that is thue rendered certain, the directors are anxious not ain it for themeel but that the public should vail themeelves of it almost entirely, Whether the desires of Captain Tremaine and Mr. Palmer apd their friends will receive consideration is not stated, but probsbly the private interests of these gentlemen will be deferred until thoee of the com- Iounity have been provided for. At all events, the directors urge “a disceraing public to give encour- agement to the po nye to participate in ite large revennes,” now submitted a ” “chance for speculation never before While, to complete the temptation, they quote the rices of the shares of various mining companies in Hagie nd elsewhere that have been successful, cmitting all mention of any that have been unfor- tunste.
