On the 30th ult., Mr. Dawson, the Senator | from Georgia, moved, as an amendment to the | earlier clauses of the bill, that the operation of the ’ ‘Territorial Government which they constituted in | New Mexico should be confined to the districts west of the Rio Grande, i.e., to Western New | Mexico. This amendment, which retained Santa | Fe in its dependence on Texas, was carried by the votes of the Texan Senators, aided by those from the South and South west, and by the fow from the North who are systematically in*favor of every thing which will embarrass a compromise that is condemned as disadvantageous to the sacred cause of free soil. On the next day, July 31, Mr.Pearce of Maryland, a professed friend of \ the measure— after pointing out that the virtual effect of the amendment carried the d.y before would beto em- j power the scanty settlers west of the Rio Grande to make laws for the » uch more numerous popula- tion dwelling east o! the river—moved that so much of the bill ag related to New Mexico should be struck out, on the understanding that the clauses removed should be re-introduced in their erigmal form, and without Mr. wson’s proviso. ‘This course, which was rendered necessary by the mede of piaetrte in the Senate, seems strange enough, but its results were still | of Washington respecting ‘he treaty supposed to | by the feelihg which first gave birth to | herself of further serritory | of absolute Becessity onthe part of England to in- reached the Gulf of Mexico, and so stretched its western limit to have the Pacific Ocean wash- ing the whole length of its western boundary.

[From the London Times, Aug. 19.) _ The measures contemplated at this critical mo- ment by the Court of Madrid for the improved ad- ministration of Cuba have, doubtless, been sugges- ted by a sincere anxiety to contirm the imperial te- nure of that valuable suenes but it is less apparent that they have been calcuiated with a proper ap- reciation of what circumstances actually required. ‘he new Captain-General will be attended by a military retinue of imposing strength.

Me xice at pre- sent lies helpless, and if England should stand idly by, and not insist on the maintenance of the Mexican republic in its existing integrity, one campaign would suffice to add the chief State of Ce tral America to the already formidable confec eration of the United States. England has her- self no desire to acquire territory in Central America; but if there be any symptom of an in- tention toencroach upon Mexico exhibited by the cabinet of Washington, we should do wisely to ex- tend our protection to the independent republics a which at present hold, as rightful possessors, the | thus reinforced, will be sufficient to overawe mal- whole of Central America.

Nothing was eveatually left but the portion which gave a government to the colony established by the Mormons on the Great Salt Lake. The result will probably furnish the successor of Joe Smith with the text of a trucu- lent homily.

Our caution will not suffer us to be be- trayed into a predictian; but we cannot help seeing that this is exactly one of the matters in pei lower House, returned by the collective population of heyy Union, will scarcely be permitted to dictate tothes States. On the other hand, difficulties of all kinds are accumulating, and it seems incredible that either house of Congress will be willing to adjourn with- | ut some kind of provision for their setilement. The Texan militia are positively stated to be marching eon New Mexico, and nothing that we have lately heard leads us to attach a slight im- portance to the explosion of discontent which will mevitably follow \the announcement in California of the Senate’s decision. The worst symptom of all is disclosed by the altered tone of newspaper controversy in the older States. It is hard to be- lieve that the sectional antipathies of North and South, which seem to have gained fourfold their ancient intensity in the single week between the beginning of August and the departure of our iatel- ligence, will exhale during the winter in nothing mere serious than words. The Balance of Power tn Europe and Amert From the London Times, August 20.) Moexims relating to the balance of power in Europe, derived originally from the astute politi- cians of y, still form a portion of the learay and the faith of statesmen even of the ‘nineteenth century. The diplomatists of the present day are daily cecupied io the task of keeping the various powers of eee in that relative order which, by arrangement, has been for some years past establish- ed emongst them; and every minute encroachment or change is viewed with extraordinary jealousy, is always opposed, and generally prevented. But while this superabundance of eaution is bestowed upon the balance of power in Europe, the due ar- rangement of it, as respects the world at large, would appear not to ceme within the sphere of duty seli-imposed upon European statesmen. ladeed, to hem Europe would seem to be the world; beyond imits they appear to think that the is no ance of a dangerous power arising, and conse- quently no reasou for fear with respect to any do- minion Which now exists, or is likely to exist, in apy other quarter of the globe. This, neverihe- less, is a very dangerous epinion. If, at the pre- sent moment, we listen to the language ef these who, on the continent of Europe, are deemed great authorities, we discover that their minds are pos- eed by one domi ear: their eyes a d im terror upon the great Northern potentate, and bey speak of the overwhelming dominion of Kussia as the ever imminent peril over the freedom aod destinies of the world here is a party also among ourselves, sharing in these alarms and dir- mal expectations of mischief, and who, like their continental compeers, are #0 completely oceupied with this one idea, and so pertinaciously confine their attention to European combinations alone, that they can see no danger which threatens from other quarters. hey pay no attention to rales of conduct which may be laid down by any country not European, and permit without hesitation as- sumptions to be made respecting territories beyond me there special limits, whic f they would not tolerate fora moment if put forth with regard to any Lu- Topran Siate, no matter how insigoificaat. These observations are suggested by the corres- rf adence which has lately passed betweea Sir leary Bulwer and the cabinet of Washington, with referenc a treaty which was supposed to bave been entered into by Mr. Chatfield, on the pert of Englwad, with the States of Yacatan and Costa I » upposed purport of such tre: being to constitute England the protector of these two States. With the correspondence itself we have no feult to find, neither do we ot to the conduct which it scribes England to have purened, or with the moxims laid down as the rule for our future proceedings. Sir Heary Bulwer states to Mr. Clay, that Mr. Chatfield has had ne authority to enter any such treaty on the part of England, and he further declares that is not pol f England to constitute herself protec- of distant Staies ar all ie well ; bot what, he principle laid down by Mr. Clay ave the United States a right to & if England bad entered into any such treaty t if information were simply sought in order that the United tes might shape its course of con- duct with reference to the new position of affairs which under such a treaty would exist, then there would be no reason to complain, no ‘ground for reeenting the in ry.

On the 7th of this month the King of Denmark contracted @ morg: © marriage with Lola Ras mussen.’ The marriage was celebrated by the Bishop of Jutland. Mille. Rasmuesen was for- merly a milliner, and was well known to the Copenhegen corps of officers; she then be- cme aeausinted with the ’King, and has now been raised to the rank of Baroness Denner. She has great influence over the King; persons well informed state that she exercises her influence inthe revolutionary Danish sense, and was the person that induced the King to make such sudden concessi to the Casino club in the Co- nhogen revolution of 1848. This marriage is so r important, that it confirms the extinction of the royal house of Denmark. On this ground the ministry oppored this union till the London protocol wes signed; this done, the marriage was to the in- terest of Russia. The Kolner Zeitung bas a telegraphic despatch from Hamburg of the 17th ult, stating that an en- agement took place on the evening of the 16th, ‘tween a Denish steamer, accompanied by two gunboats, and a Holstein steamer, (the Lowe) which was likewise supported by two gunboats. The combat continued throughout the night, and at helf-past eeven in the morning the Danish vessels retreated. The Lowe has suflered from the ene- my’s fire, and one of the gunboats was in danger o being burnt.

This may not lead to war, but meantime both parties stand upon the roof of a powder magazine, which the slightest accident may cause to explode, as did the labor tory at Rensbury, but with consequences a million times more disastrous.

Berlin letters of the 16th August state that it is now confirmed by the semi-official organs of the Prussian government that the differences between Prussia and Austria, respecting the interpretation of the regulatians on the subject of the federal for- tresses, (diflerences which resulted from the re- fusal ef Austria to allow the Baden troops to pass the federal fortress of Mentz,) are about to be sub- mitted toa court of arbitration.

The fomeey A Poise Pi carceaon he the French republic throug! e departments of Burgun- ay and eastern France qe certainly the most singular manifestation of his personal influence tr position which has been given since he assumed the executive government of the republic. The cities chosen for his first ap- vearance inthe provinces were notoriously ill-af- fected to his government, and were snpposed to be those in which the Red Republic has the greatest number of passionate adherents. Several of these districts are still under martial law ; the National Guard has been dissolved in some them for its re- volutionsry tendencies ; and they have for the most pert retureed lira republican members to the As- sembly. But when an attempt was made at Dijon, at MontLard, and at Chalons on the Saone to in- terrupt the chorus of popuiar acclamation, it was scon evident that whilst “a band of disorderly fellows were shouting forrepub- lican instituions, the mess ¢f the people bad concentrated their interest and affection on the men whom they were assembled to welcomeand applaud, Accordingly, nothing could be more un- like the modest journey of the Chief Magistrate of a imamterentite and nothing could more nearly approach the splendor of au imperial progress. Every where the recollections of the empire and the Emperor Napoleon are revived and ded before the people. Here a monument is to visited with solemmity, representing the illustrious captain on a shem St. Helena, with the exquisite pathos of a French inseription— “ To Napoleon, Noizot, a Grenadier of Elba.”’ There a city was reminded that the great Emperor had enriched its armorial bearings with the star of the Legion of Honor. When the health of the President was proposed by the Prefect ot Magon, it was preceded by the “glorious and immortal memory” of the uncle, and wound up in honor of « his worthy and popular heir—Louis Napoleon.” ¢ Prince, ashe was styled by the more ardent worshippers of the rising sun, received all these honors as due neither to himself nor to his preseut office in the Republic (for, indeed, that offensive expression is seldom heard,) but to the glory of his family and of its great chief; while the only allu- sion made to the constitution seems to have been wher, an ill-tumed request was hazarded by Noizot, the Grenadier of Eiva, for @ mesty to one of his particuler friends, Which Louis Napoleda said he was constitutionally unable to grant without the concurrence of the Assembly. In one village the municipal body distinctly intimated its opinion that a prolongation of the period of office in favor e the President is indispensably necessary to rance. ‘ Perhaps this last declaration conveys with suffi- cient accuracy the vailing desire of the pea- santry and a considerable portion of the middle end lower classes throughout France. Every one deprecates a coup d'état or « revolution, even to es cape from the consequences of the last revolutio: but an ascent step by step from the rank of Presi- dent to the distant grandeur of the Empire, would probably command the support of the people. For if these changes appear toybe difficult and danger- ous, since they errs change in the constitution of 1848, it must be borne in mind that the inevita- ble eperation of that constirution still more dreaded by the nation, and the year 1852 is looked forward te as a fatal term, beyond which no cer- tainty, perhaps no safety, lies. The path now be- fore the country, which Louis Napoleon is natu- rally endeavoring to make as broad end alluring as possible, has the great additional recoremenda- Uon that a violation of the law in his favor is like- y to prove a less formidable effort than the opera- tion of the law against his claims, or in favor of or royalist candidate. Belgium, The floods had done great damage tothe low any republics lands. For sixty-one miles between Lille and Na- mur the fields are completely flooded and the crops destroyed, in other places on the line.

Aug. 20.) _ Though the harvest has been interru, by par- tial showers in diflerent parts of the ki , con- as heen made in the more for- siderable progres: good deal of corm has been ward district carried in fair condition during the week. The ac- counts of the yield of wheat do not im 3 ine deed, the complaints respecting the deficien of grain in proportion to straw have increased, which We are not surprised at, considering the prevalence of blight among all the earlier sorts of wheat, ard the lors which was naturally to be expe from the fact of large breadths of corn vine been badly laid by the heavy rains and hi winds experienced in July. It is yet too early to speak positively as to the extent of the deficiency ; but from all we have hitherto been enabled to collect, we are of opinion that wheat will prove less productive than in moderately good average seasons, and that a considerable proportion will be of coarse quality. This will prove a heavy trial to our farmers, as there exists little prospect of the value of the article advancing, so as to cover the loss to whieh, under such circumstances, the shortness of the gield must subject them. The: have found it sufficiently difficult to compete wit! the foreign growers with 80 good a crop as that of last year; but we much fear that the present season will prove still more trying t en in the cultivation of the land. Prices have certainly risen trom the lowest point, and present rates may per- hops be about maintained; but we much question whether the advante established is at all ac equate to recompense for the shortness in the quality per acre. From the tenor of the foregoing remarks it wil! be readily understood that we are not sanguine of eny improvement in the wheat trade. 'e feel fully persuaded that we shall not have an average crop, and, further, that a very large portion of the potatoes will be lest; but we are equally well con- vinced that this will not have much iafluence on prices. In the southern countries of Europe the arvest has been finished under very auspicious circumstances, and in the more northern parts it ie fast drawing to a conclusion. All the accounts saree in spesking highly of the quality; and allows ing that the partial Joes of the rye crop in Germany and Holland may cause an extra consumption of wheat, still a large eurplus must remain for ship- ment to Great Britain.

It seems that the shepherds of the duetrict of Lefeozza, im the provinee of Belgradgik, had been ecourtomed to pay their taxes in money ineteed of tn kind; but it was refused on the last oceativg by the Pacha, who caused their sheep to be seized for their taxes. The entaged shep- herds etiacked the collectors, and killed some ot thom Alermed at the illegality of their own cendoct, they marched off in a body of three bundied, to lay their case before the Pacha, bot that fenctionary, terrified at their numbers, carved the gates to be shut ageinetthem. The Pacha then ordered hie troops to charge them, and mony of them were slain. The savage soldiery then proceeded to the surrounding villages, killing the people end destroying their ray and they committed such excesses that t Pacha was forced to send other troops egainst them, who put a stop to their erneltics. A second deputation from the Oh herds waited upon the Pacha to represent their state tohim; but he served them, put them in itens, and sent them off to Constantinople as chiefe of the insurgents, and represented that hie province was up in arms.
