Pamphlets of all kinds, now published on the ev talk is had about the app brochure written by Mr. Francois Ara; nomer, in which he will throw much light on the facts and acts of the provisional government. It is said, with much wit and reason, that, ‘ more gas is wanted on the subj«ct.” Mr. Cremieux intends also publishing a smali book on the same subject. Let us see! Leannot pass in silence the remarkable letter of Mr. Guizot, written upon his refusal to be assist- antof Public Instruction. The reasons which he gives, and the language employed by this great writer and ph. pher, are really admirable, and worth being tiansiated into English for the columns | of the Herald. Another translation, also worthy to be published, that of on urticle from the Swise guzetie, called Bund- Zeitung, tained the Srecle of the 6th August, inst, which con:sins the highest senti- | ments of esteem and friendship, from the Helvetie | republic towards ihe government of Washington. That article was written on the reception of Mr. Dudley Mann, by the Congress of Switzerland. In_ Piedmont, the condemaation pronounced by the Court of Appeals against Alexander Varezini, Bishop of Sassara, accused of having instigated the clergy of bis diocess to contempt of the govern- ment, has created much seasation, His grace was sentenced to one month’s imprisonment and to the xpenses of the trial But since he had been de- ined more than the time to which he was sen- need, he was set at liberty, and his return @ la rére du soleil, was celebrated by a f t emission ef treasury uote (dollars), at five per cent int papal government.

Nothing 1s yet positively | nown on the subject The aflairs of Germany appear to be getting, if sible, more avd more embroiled. You remem- that I mentioned in one of my letiers, that a treaty of peace had been signed, on the 2d of July ult, by Prussia with Denmark, which was to be approved by all the State of the Germanic confede- Tati Now, Prussia pretends that the confedera- tion is no more, whilst Austria assures us that this is false, and states that she should consider the pas- sage of the Baden troops through Meatz, as break- ing the treaty of peace. A courrier, bearer of de- spatches containing the ultimatum of Austria, has been sent to Berlin, and the government of Vienna have declared that they were ready to siga the proto- col of London, which was accepted, as you know, by the plenipotentiaries of France, Russia, Eng- land, Denmark an!

The railroad pleasure trains have depopulated our city, and every day there is a departure for Havre, Dunkerque, Dieppe, Compigne, Fontaine- bleau, taking off a qvarterof the Parisian people. Last Monday 1,400 persons left Paris for London, and at the same time, 2,600 John Bulls, with their umbrellas and carpet bags, made an irruption into our city. It was very curious, indeed, to hear the English language spoken all over Paris—in the thewtres, gardens, streets and squares of our me- uopebs. Our epoch is one of sudden transition, and no doubt the aerial mode of travelling will secon be discovered, for many trials, of eli sorts, have been made with balloons durug the last sx days. | thuk it useless to mention them to you. Details on the subject are in the French papers; bat I can- mot pass the project of a Spanish aeronaut, Mr. Matomayor, trom Madrid, who bus built an im- menee machine, Composed of several balloons, carrying an array of a mammoth appearance, guns, and fire-works, which will be put into action ina few days.

It made me remember the position of those who visit the cataract of Niagara, when they pass under the ** Horse Shoe.” Never, in the record of human memory (possibly, since the days of the deluge,) has such a raia poured into our city. There were several streets which were like torrents, and in which one could see six (o ten inches of water. Paiis was trana- formed, for a day, toa Venice; and, at the present hour, the rain has resumed its destructive work. itis to be hoped that the sun will soon appear, for the third part of the crops is not yet harvested, and would be lost, if such weather was continued. The news of the theatres is very dull. Three new plays have been produced, this week, and met with very uncertain epprobation. At the Theave Historique, La Chasse aw Chastre was performed on Saturday last; and, though it was written by M. Alexandre Dumas, it was not re- erived wiih much applause. The nine taoleaux are very jong, ond, with the exception of Mr. Numa and Madwme Ray, the other actors are very poor. Several scenes have been painted by Mr. Ciceri, a well-known painter ducorateur, and, among them, the last, representing the country of Rome and the Holy City on the back ground, was admired dy all the connorssews. The drama of **Lesl’reresCorses” (the Corsican Brothers,) was not played as an- nounced. Aithe Theatre Francais, a comedy in two acts, by Mr. Plouvier, called ne Diseretion” (et Phil- jipina) was witnessed wich moderate pleasure by the spectators. It ia, nevertheless, not @ triumph.

Of course she was the comergo, and the part was “ murdered”* from the firet to the lustliae. To-night the * Plea- sure Travel for California,” @ panorama vaudeville, six parts, will be performed. At the Vaudeville Theatre a new farce, called « Les Pavés sur le pave” (the pavement abolished) is in rehearsal, and will be produced on Saturday night (Apropos of pavement—the MacAdam is to be put on the Boulevards, with a new composition of biiumen and small gravel ) The new repairs made on the Acadamy of Music are nearly completed, and it is said that Mr. Ko- queplan will open the Opera House on th wetent, With the new partition of Auber, “L’ Enfant Piodigue.” Barheillet, the celebrated barytone, hes left Paris ; he is engeged at the Grand Theatre of Madrid for the sum of 60,000 francs. Alboni will also be attached to that theatre, with a higher selery. In execution of the new law on theatres, the Mi- nister of the Interior has appointed the commission of censorship as follow: Examiners, Messrs. Florent, Carstan,Pellitier, de Maynard, and Neven; Inspectors, Messrs. Dlané and Louis Boyer ; See- retary, Mr. Victor Huallays. These gentlemen have already entered on their offices, and many firet performances have been postponed on account of the duties of the cabinet noir of the theatres, onder the Ministry of Interior. The most curious exhibition was made the other et the stores of Mr. Rouvenat, associate of . Christople, a celebrated jeweller, of the jew- els and crowns of Faustin I, Emperor of Hayti. It isindeed laughable to see how that prince of con- lrebande spends end the money of his new sub- jects, in buying knick-knacks of all sors. 1 have been told that the cost of these jewels would emount to one million of francs.

R. Opinions In England of the Cabinct of esident Fillmore, [From the London Times, Au; oa] The late metencholy event in the United States, which abruptly terminated the career of Guneral Taylor, and gave the death-blow to a cabinet | already sinking under the weight of its unpopularity, has led to a change on which we see the strongest motives, with one solitary exception, to congratu- late the United States and the world. — By this | singular turn in aflairs the whig party in the Unien bas recovered the strongest, and possibly the most lasting, hold on the supreme power which it | has enjoyes wee the presidency of John Quincy Adams. chief members, and eopecially Mr. Webster and Mr. Crittenden, find themselves once more restored, by the death of General fo the position they lost by the death of } Harrison ; for although they continued on that oecasion to serve for a few months with Mr. Tyler, that combination was of short duration, and the moderation of the American whigs was totally forsworn before that unscrupulous personsge laid down the dignity to which chance had raised him. It may, indee |, be doubted whether any direct election by the democracy of the United States could at this time have so eflectually promoted the interests of these illustrious descendants of the old ty, #8 this unforeseen concatenation of he compromise by which General Tay lor oren at the last election, as a moderate te, having peculiar claims on pepular sym- pathy, hes new given way to a thorough whig administration, with Mr. Fillreore as its ostensible chief, and Mr. Webster 4s leading statesman; and in the abilities of the cabinet, as well as in the fixed poli principles professed by these states- men, the Union has gained a vast accession to the strength and character of its government. For although it may be our duty on some especial points to differ from the views of the American cabinet, and it may be said thatthe posi- tive interests of Great Britain are most immediately efiected by the disposition or reluctanee of the American ministers to adopt the principles of free trade, yet in forming our general estimate of this ad- ministration, we cannot take so narrow a view of its character, or of the vast relations of the two Anglo- American empires, as to judge of them solely or even principally by the opinions they may have ex- reseed on the theery of commercial protection. Whe laws wae poner the tariff of duties, which contract or stimulate trade, and regulate mer- cantile relations of these great communities, will infallibly be adjusted, in the run, by those principles which the wants and interests of each nation ehall prescribe. It isnot by force of rea- soning, or by national prejudices against foreign competition, or by political pledges, that the con- troversy of free ee and protection will be decided, either in the United States or in this country, but by experience, by example, by failure, or by suc- cess. Nor can we for one moment apprehend that the strength of any partiewlar party in the United States can be applied to rivet fresh fetters on in- dustry, and te control the greatest expansive force which has ever impelled the efforts of mankind.

(From the London Chronicle. Aug 6.) The cabmet, which President Fillmore has lost no time im forming, will, on the whole, command the sympathies end the hopes of Eugland. Al- though certain inerdents in the mo: t politi- cal career of Mr, Webster have hed, in some degree, the almost universal respect which Was at ope time felt for his character, they have Ly no means destroyed altogether the interest which attaches, ov this side of the Atlant 0 the American politician whose statesmanship English- Tien can appreciate, whose eloquence commends itself, by its simplicity, to English tuste, and whose bame is connected with the adjusiment of one of the mest difficult controversies thet ever menaced | the two great Anglo-Saxon families with a bloody | and exhausting war. The gentlemen who follow | Mr. Webster in the list of the new ministry, though | inferior to him in orstoricel force, ard ip the lustre of a public life, which has beeome i historical, are supposed ‘to be neatly his in administrative capacity.

But there still survives the re practical statesmanship, and for cove art, which the early federalists ii ted. Whigs etill think it worth while to sustain th mertic position by ubedience to the common rules of morality, and to regulate their attitude towards foreign nations by the ordiaary maxims of public law. Their disposition to exalt the importance and the perogatives of the central authority at Wash- ington, although in other respects it produces few precticel resuils, is nevertheless to some e safeguard egeinet the intluences which ter American politicians, when in power, to fe their responsibilities as representatives of a nation, und to tbape their whole poliey ia accordance with the convenience of a party, or with local and sec- tional interests. These very qualifications for ex- celience in administration are, however, rather closely connected with the faults into which the American whigs have recently fallen. Out of office, they have been out of their element, ond, as is usual in such cases, they have made far greater mistakes than their antagonists would have dove under similar eircumstunces. During their long exclusion from power, they have felt acutely their want of some claims on popular fa- vor more tangible and more reedily appreciable than their general respeetatmlity of character. In an evil hour, they lighted upon the cause of protection to domestic industry, snd adopted it as their own. Antecedently, they had no bias whatever towards commercial exclusion. Their leading men had re- pudiaied it, and Mr. Webster in particalars had igured among the most enlightened expositors of i Bui their connection with tronghold of jwhigism end the seat of American monufacture, and the temporary popularity of the protectionist cry in the great State of Pennsylvania, induced them to identify themeetves with demands which, under the | than all others, give honor { ty the only true demoe."@¢y, in wo 4 republics must bend their ha."4# across seas, for they all represent the same erinciple— that of the solidification of peace.

Bever have any occasion of sending assistance !0 the Americans; but the Americans, in a momen‘ of davger, will not certainly hesitate to lean ia ou” favor in the European scale, and to oppose the ; power of their authority to some States, a8 Russia, r instance. We do not want, however, by the | cheerful reception given to a republican, to offend | the sepresentatives of the monarchical powers.

The sending of the same Mr. Dudley | Mena to Switzerland, at the moment when this country is surrounded by perils—threatened, per- | hops, With a complete disorganization, shows evi- | dently that the United States have determined to continue the same policy, and to follow the new way which they have undertaken, and which will lead them to the highest desuny. The death of General Taylor will not, probably, change the march of the American po Hcy, for Mr. Fillmore hes the same principles as the late President Switzerland has always been dear to the United | Stotes, from the similerity in their institutions, and the sentiments ef citizens of both nations.

The French, and other European republicans must imi- tate this example. T is importent to look exclusively to France, where the re-establishment of a throne, and another form of government, except the republican, must be an enurely impossible fact. | Baring’s Cire ular, | Loxnon, Friday, August 9, 1850—5 P.

The cabinet commences its existence embarrass- ed by the opinions to which its members are com- mitted, both on the subject of protection and on that of a national bank. From the necessity of taking the initiauve on the latter head, it may, probably, be enabled to disengage iterif. The measures relating to the disposal of public moneys wnd to the currency, which General Jackson origi- nated in one of his famous fits of obstinacy, have been so signally succeseful, thet the hottest of their former opponents will probably refrain from urging the cabimet to aseall them. Another and a eull stronger reason for leaving the legisla- tion of the democrats untouched, is the immense change which the annexation of California has eflected in the monetary question under all ite nepects, But of the pledges which Mr. Webster and bie trends have Gren to the protectionist ironmasters and manuiacturers they will not #o caclly get rid. Ifany freak of fortune had placed the ture, as well asthe executive, at the = of the American whigs, the President and his ministers could hardly have done otherwise than demand the enactment of a high protective tariff at the hands of a friendly majority. There can be no doubt that such a measure would ulti- mately have resulted in their irretrievable ruin. to 1960 bales Buri bales Madras, at Oy, be! pool, mid.
