But this apparently successful Mr. Bulwer, who has twenty wand dollars a year, or house, and like Lord Normanby, fall credit for entertainments,—who gives dinners and makes dinner speeches,—-tells such fine stories on France, snmoags erican statesmen in that very capital whic! vaodal country burned, 16th’ August, 1814—a date to which he does not refer—he is preparing his book, like De Tocqueville. To him is committed the task of, so far, blacking republicanism, and, so far, white oligarchy, that the Eoglish people shall contemn America, and the literatt of the At- Jaatic coast find no fault with the sentence. Like De Tocqueville, he will profess democracy to Mr. ‘Webster, and pretend to admire the “ god-like” in particular, and gently to insiauate that, if the American Caen, were a little more like the British, he, ‘ebster,) would long ago have re- ceived its highest honors. Mr. Bulwer looks to promotion in his own unhappy country, and will write and print the most unscrupulous libels upon American institution g hat ever appeared; for it is only by traducing democracy that the class which evel enue like him strives to serve, can exist much longer. J have, it is well known, no faith whatever in the longer countenance of the British system, nor in the promotion of Mr. Bulwer, who will, in five years, find Madrid and Narvaez far more comfortable than London and its rulers. Buthe will make—is making—the effort, and has the gifts of industry and continuance. His book is, doubtless, Ny Big? advanced, and if it could be seen now, by ‘Washington circle, it would pro- duce the same effect as the production of that whole official correspondence oft which the publishes a specimen. But it is yet too early for @ complete edition of the minister's compositions. Lest any one of his confiding friends in the Unived States should be surprised by the contents of his book, I will just quote one passage from the ola ‘ida entitled “The Monarchy of the Mid. dle Classea of France, Social, Literary, and Politi cal—by H. L. Bulwer.” Perhaps it may be found in America. It dates back to 1836, and is a capi- tal key to the kaleidescope of his mind. The pre- —— the — 69 es jially, are rare sam- 3 » But to the passage, pp. 322-3, where it stands in all the importance of italics. It is the opinion of one who lived Jong ia France, who professes to have advised Arm: Carrel, as he now does Clay and Webster, and ought to have known something about the people, if he could not understand a ciple: —* I should as that the beaS goverament for France would @ popu- lar and splendid monarchy, aepoesied. here a national army, there byacitizen guard, a ralized administration, and having for co-adjutors a chamber of Peers elected from the superioriries of the coun- try, which would represent, as it were, its moral int and a Chamber of Deputies elected by a large constituency, which would re- present its national interests.” Those who now hang on Mr. Bulwer’s com- pliments for republicans, should know that a dozen years have only confirmed him in this printed opaee His uncle, the Duke of Woking, and all the smaller fry of the titled classes, » have instant need of somethi or other to stay the fearful march of free institutions on the continent of Europe, from which they dread that contagion which no quarantine can prevent; and which, having reduced the peeple to the helpless condi- tion of Chinamen and Hindoos, they have no arms to oppose. Mr. Bulwer will not long delay to pro- duce his claims to permanent office in the British empire. He may not have as much craft as Brougham, nor the same opportanity to secure, for two years’ work, the retiri pension for life of ,000 a year; but he has the same vile facility which insured the apostate Talford a judgeship, and greater audacity for his parliamen- tary against universal suffrage, and which ge @ similar sum and station to the late Attorney eneral Jervis, and advanced Chief Justice Wilde tn’ the woolsack and its emoluments, of about $e er suaneliy for prosecuting the chartists in 848. ro of the chartist victims, Sharpe and Williams, were afterwards starved ia jail. Such honors in some other walk—such outrageous sums of money wrung from starvation wages, are the stimuli which will ensure the birth of the new book on democracy in America. By the wa those fifteen judges in Westminster Hall, who, ii cluding the Chancellor, pocket, on fulse pretences, $700, pd ennum of the people's money, will be converted to republicanism on the same day with the professin, .

The irreparable injury done by a still more insig- pers ny my Gy a anions a republic, pushes me to the task, per superflu- ous, of warning the politicians about ble at Waohington, against the stealth and hypocrisy of the British Minister, He hag already given an erroneous direction to the Central American policy of the United States. He has planted in your sa- cred soil the most fruitful germ of disorder and bloodshed which was ever presented to a people. ‘The apple of discord wes wholesome food and in- nocent pastime, compared to the treaty giving away Nicaregua for nothing. If, in California, you find your own flesh aad blood in open war about the land, what are sensible men to expect from the crowd of insolent Englishmen who will push into your canal, and claiming an undivided property in the route, assume to have advanced all the capi- tal to build it? It is my opinion that there will be heavy disasters, and a total destruction of the protectors of the Mosquito King, and even of his Majesty himself, whose pardon I beg for | heving forgotten to associate him with Souloaque and Pedro, but whose royalty will soon join their funeral procession. He that has seen an indiscriminate crowd of horses and horned cattle | driven into ‘orner together, in a state of the wildest exc: ent, may form an idea of the con- sequences of attempting this initiative of joint owa- ership of Americans and Englishmen. And of all other things, a canal, where there is no turn: | ing (o the right nor left, and where some must wait on others and, where detentions and provocations | ore unavoidable. I have given an illustration of | the difficulty—let me disclose the principle on Aside from the injas- | tice of the transfer of the canal, there isin the composition of the parties an antagonism not to | be removed. They are, perhaps, not differently constituted, but diflerently educated. Neither can tolerate the other. The collision will be imme- diate and continual—snd it depends chiefly upon the fect that Americansare brought up to equality, Englishmen to inequality. The former oilers no her men, nor exacts any, but the lat- w py unless he has his foot upon some- ‘8 neck, or somebody's foot upon his; and with such detestable habits of severit sion, he cannot be endurcd at all—esp he gives bimee!f the airs of a proprietorin America. It is the disastrous treaty of Nicaragua, as much as the forthcoming schemes, which has drawn this strict attention to Mr. Bulwer; but his analysis for this time is new, and we may turn from him with decided relief to something amusing | The aristocracy of England is not better entitled | to the sowbriquet of “the potato rot party,” than the | tariff men of New England are to that of “the hide and tallow party,”—a name that is suggested by what is now pissing at Morocco. It seems that the people are in open rebellion against the king, | because he has demanded that the hide of ever: | animal which is s!aughsered ia his dominions shall | be deposited at the royal treasury, for his eapecial use. Searcely had the order gone forth than the fiery Arabs took arms, and have resolved to fight the opprerror. The Inst accoun’ leaves the battle reging, and itis likely his majesty will have to | crawlish. it is trae that the cottoa spinners | had rome years ago set the precedent for the tax- | ing dynasty of Morocco. But is it not quite as true that the producers, the agriculturists, of the | United States—at least four-fifths of all the iaha- | bitante—showed the same resentment? On the | contrary, there ie reason to think thatthey not | only tamely submitted, but were convinced that it | was for their good for a considerable time. The | fit, they say, is coming on again. It will be | totelithe Arab story, and give an explan | for not enly did Lowell demand of Mississippi | its hides, but its tallow, te boot. Under the act of 1842 twenty-five millions a year were pard into the treasury ef the United States—but fifty millions more swelled out the pockets of Lawrence & Co.; one dollar of plonder was collecte Jon pubhic,andtwo on private, account. So that the present Minister of the United States, Abbott Lawreace, who is the head and tail, hoof and horns, of the tariff party, pays in this city $10,000 rent; not with his salar, of $9000, but from the stolen tallow of the hard- fisted farmers of the South and West, makingeach one leas than twenty-five cents a day, but addiag new territory to the Union and maltiplying its de- fenders For such a share of the proceeda,well could the cotton lords above Mason and Dixoa’s line aflord to hold,while the tariff knife, in the hands of the government, skinned and appropriated the hide and tallow of the entire Western and Southern agriculture.

Panis, October 17th, 1850, Lours Nopoleon and the Committee of Proroga- tion--Chasges in the Mintstry—Changwrnier — ‘Thiers— the Late Queen of Belgwwm—Leoyold— Ttaly—Germany— Denmark and the Duchies, $c. The Jate meeting of the Committee of Prorega- tion had quite an echo in all the provinces. Many representatives arrived in Paris, and were ready Jo proceed to the immediate convecation of their coF leagues, if this was required by the present state of affairs. It was whispered in some quarters that Louis Napeleon proposed to act on his own powers, by the 32d article of the constitution, and that he would recall the Assembly, in order to put before its members his contest with the Committee. In the meantime he would produce his message, in which he would protest anew his respect for the constitution of 1848. The Committee of Proregation assembled to- day, in order to examine another case which has much importance. A very violent article appeared in the Constitutronnel, in which the author cea- sured the twenty-five members of the Committee for their non-respect of the Presideat. The Moni tewr, which is a neutral paper, republished that article, and gave te it more importance than it had before. The most bitter speeches were directed towards Mr. Bareche, and the whole session was very stermy. As you see, the position of our go- vernment may be called very interesting; and, no doubt, before long, we shall witness ‘something which will net be expected. Changes in the ministry are again rumored in our politic ircles. It appears that Mr. de Parien, Minister of Public Instruction, had a very violent discussion with the President, on account of the dismissal of Mr. Fortoul, who, being at the same time member of the faculty of Aix and re- presentative, was put in the position to choose be- weet the two Daa The Desist BS vegeta make a passe-droit jin favor of Mr. Fortou 10 had written a ote faeportioomt letter to Mr. de ‘ien, and the minister swore that if Louis Na- leon was obstinate in his wishes, he would send Bis dismissal. The President, to whom this was reported, only answered: ‘“*C’est bien! on é avisera.” Such @ laconic phrase is quite signifi- cent; and in case Mr. de Parien Mr. Du- mas will take his portefewille, and Mr. Fialin d Pe ny would enter on the Ministry of Commerce and foapaooen in the of Mr. Dumas. In the meantime Mr. de Persigny, just re- turned from London, where his visit c: a sen- sation, has departed for Berlin, where he goes to resume his diplomatic functions, at least for a short time. It is said that his return is caused by the peculiar position of affairs of Prussia and Aus- tria. General d’Hautpoul, Minister of War, is also threatened with dismissal from his post of honor. The Presideat would put in his place General Reg- nault de St. Jean T’Angeli, and would send him to Algiers, in the capacity of Governor of that colony. Look Napoleon has the intention of creating three new marshals of France, and the names of these persons are Generals [-xcelmans, Baraguay d@’Hilliers, and Oudinot. General Changarnier would ‘ perhaps” obtain the same honor. The withdrawal of the superior command from that General hae alse been spoken of at the Bourse, but without any foundation, I suppose, for this would be a death-blow to Louis Napoleon. An act of the kind would be very silly, for General Changarnier is considered as the of the present, and the hope of our future. oF uch ip has been entertained about the visit of Mr. ‘heirs to Louis Hepiom after his return from Claremont, where he went to visit the Duchess of Orleans. Though nothing ‘has traas- pired of the conversation which took place between them, I have been told that many persons pre- ition had been sumed that a very stran, made to the President, which weayeincne by him, and promptly. t Raspail, the celebrated of the events of June, 1848, who is detained prisoner at Doul- leus, was assaulted, on the 16th inst., by one of his our companies named Huber, who wished to kill him for having betrayed the cause. Bs The obsequies of the Queen of Belgium, which began on the lith instant, and ended on the 16th, at night, were very splendid. The unfortunate wife of Leopold was much loved by her subject», and wherever her co! passed, the highest marks of mourning were exhibited by the population At ‘ken, where her remains were carried, the ceremony of the burial was very imposing, and the whole nobility of Belgium, the diplomatic — of the foreign nations, surrounded the hearse, and a companied it to the tomb with the highest marl of esteem and sorrow. The family d’Orleans are still at Lacken, but they intended returning to Claremont on the 18th instant, to meet the Duchess of Orleans, who returned thither the next day after the death of her sister-in-law. King Leopold, whose grief is inconsolable, is said to be on the eve of abdicating in favor of his eldest son. The news from Italy is not of much interest, with the exception of the rumored resignation of the Grand Duke of Florence. in favor of his son, who is twenty years old. The Grand Dake can- not support any longer the designs of Austria. Radetzki has been on the eve of being murdered at the Camp of Somma, where a plot had been laid by the Honved troops te shoot him during a military display.

The Austrian troops vent to Hesse, in order to restore peace, received orders to return. It is said that a treaty will be signe 1 at Esmansdorff, where the Empress of Rus- tia will go, as if for health, and where the poten- tates of Germany will assemble, under the pretext of presenting their respects to her. No doubt, this news is relative to the project of the great powers aoe north of Europe, to reconstitute the treaty of 815. No news from the Duchies, where everythin, will soon be settled, either by the submission of the Schleswig-Holstein to the King of Denmark, or by an armed intervention of Russia, Austria, and France. The sooner the war can be ended, the better it will be for the people of the north of Germany, who suffer by it. the Chief Farming In Russia. (From the English Agricultural Gazette. } Thet farmers are seldom travellers, and that travellers, properly so called, are as seldom well- informed in agricultural matters, must surely be the reason why we know so little of the farming capabilities of the various countries of Europe. This ignorance is to be regretted, as we are per- suaded that, 3 yooesoned of more correct informa- tion respecting foreign agriculture, there would be less alarm in the minds of farmers respecting their prospects than at present unhappily prevails. To make good this assertion, we will briefly give the description of Russian agriculture as we received it from an intelligent Russian gentleman, 4 farmer, near Rigs, and who has lately visi England for the purpose of inspecting our farming operations. In the immediate neighborhood of Ri is generally grown between a crop of ry bat further into the country clover an ons are alike unknown. White crops are taken, one after the other, until the land is tired; and we were informed that this wretched system may be regarded as a not overdrawn picture of Russian farming. In the Dachy of Courland, adjoining R there ie a great extent of land so poor that not enough to lay the land down to grass to bring it round; it is actually left for fifteen or twenty yeare, or until it is covered with brush- wood, which is stubbed up and burned. The land will thea = Id_ two or three crops of corn, and is egain abandoned to brushwood. Turnip crops are grown but sparingly, and the great objection to potatoes is, that as they are not ready to be removed uatil the end of September, the season for sowing rye is lost. No kind of out door work can be dove in the winter, as the saow will often lie five or six feet deep for weeks ;\the cone quence of this is, that all animals, sheep aot excepted, must be kept in the hoase the whole winter And as for housing the corn, it is only ia early situations that a ps portion of the crop can ne barns. The rest is set up twelve sgether, and allowed to remain ia the 3s Thrasbing is kept going as vigorously as exible, and as soon as the small portion secured harvest is thrashed out, another lot is dug from th thevenow, dried by artificial heat, aad ed immediately. Another portion is then in from the fields, dried in the same way, and thrashed. In this way the month of Jaauiry is often epent before the whele is secured.
