The London Times, of the 30th of December, contains an important article from its Southampton corres. pondent, exhibiting the total imports and exports of specie at Southampton. for the year 1850. In tl sent position of the money market, these returns are of considerable importance, as Southampton is the port of arrival for the great bulk of the precious metals produced by the Western world. During the six months ending 30th of December, the West India steamers delivered at Southampton specie and bullion, value $12 982,273—of this sum $2,911,706 was in gold dust from California, and $5,082,967 from the Pacific ports south of Panama. The total receipts for the year, from all parts of the world, including California, the Pacific, the West Indies, India, China, Turkey. the Mediterranean, Spain and Portugal, were $28,702,098, and the receipts for 1849 were $33,048,275, showing falling off, im 1850, of no less an amount than $6,241,- 117, The total amount of California gold received at South- ampton, during the year 1850, was $5,411,105, besides the amount in the hands of passengers. While the receipts of gold and silver had so largely declined, the exports of the precious metals had undergone very considerable sugmentation, the total emission from Southamp- ton, in 1860, being $7,725,000, of which nearly $5,000,- 000 were shipped for India, principally in silver. The effect of this article upon the Lendom Stock Exchange was to produce a heaviness of all kinds of funded se- curities and railway shares, as it proved the balance of trade to have set in against England in various coun- tries, from which, during the year 1849, large supplies of bullion were received, and to which, on the contra- ry, ehipments of specie are now going forward.

She has, therefore, pertormed ‘the voyage im fourteen days and six hourst—he dis- tawce from Cowes to New York being 3,144 miles— about sixty-six miles greater than that trom Liver- pool to this port. The Franklin brings about 40 passengers; among ‘whom ere Mr. Thompson, bearer of dispatches from the American Legation in London. Her freight is one of ‘the most rich and valuable ever brought to this port Dy & single vessel—it comprises nearly 600 tons of French, Bwiss and continental merchandise, including jewelry, laces,jsilks, gloves, eotton and woollens, ex- ceeding two millions of dollars in value. It is worthy of xemark, that the whole of these goods have been ship- Ped at $30 per ton, making a freight to the ship of over $18,000 ; and this while the Cunard Company have, for the sake of competition, been carrying at $10, from Havre via Liverpool. Rivalry of this sort is, therefore, damaging only to the party who first originated it. We learn by the F. that the steamship Atlantic’ Capt.

Lonvon, J The Congress at Dresden—The Treaty between the Ui States and Switzerland—The Report of the Committee— The Probable Effect of the Treaty, $c , $c., $c. ‘The decision of the Cossack Congress at Dresden, with reference to Switserland and Europe, is not yet Positively known, though all men of sen: infamous character. Prominent among the vile out- Tages contemplated by the titled ruffians now im cau- cus in Saxony, will be a sentence of execution against the Swiss Confederation, to be enforced with Pillage, murder and violation, at the point of the bayonet. The hireling officers and roldiers who are stampi out the last embers of liberty in the Duchies, will have tolook to their laurels. The “army of execution” for Switzerland will soon be, also, on the ruins of another domain, sacred for ages, not only to human freedom within its confines, but holding up a hope and a light to all the successive benefactors of mankind. Thi ample of Tell has given, in the opinion of tyranta, birth and force to the patriotism of Bruce ‘Wal- lace, Bolivarand Washington. That would be offence énovgh, even if the contemporary annals of Switzer- lend did not present the primitive virtues of her oldest republicans, But the spring is to be the limit of her reprieve; and it is for the people and the gev- ernment of the United States, probably, to say whether they will stand by and “let the coffin pass,” or turn the bayonet into the heart of the exeoutio: A graver question of duty and expediency never was presented to a great, free, nation, than that which is about to be put by cne republic to another, by freemen to freemen, by the Swiss confederation to the Ameri- can Union in these terms—Will you consent that demo- cratic institutions are criminal per se, of which all the professors deserve indiscriminate and violent death’— and if not, have you the courage to back the opposite opinion against the royal rabble of Europe? The treaty between the two countries comes very ap- propriately before the people of the United States in the awful suspense of the moment. The Swiss govern- ment have printed large editions of that treaty and the message, in Fronch and German, and copies are to be found in allthe European capitals. There are, also, other most interest documents, which will serve to fill up the pause, id prepare the minds of Americans for a decision, Having had access tothem, I present the following translations ef the reports of committees in both branches of the federal govern. ment at Berne. They will make a general and pro- found sensation:— REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE OF THE NATIONAL COUN- OIL OF SWITZERLAND, UPON THE TREATY WITH THE UNITED STATES. Mx.

It would be useless, gentlemen. to discuss the pro- of thin nature, The objects it is des- ‘ish, will be seen to more advanta, tion of the different divisions, to whic! vision, consistin; articles one to four, treats of the right of establishment, which is secured the ple of entire reciprocity and equalit ‘of both parties. Consequently, citi- ed States shall be at liberty'to establish ‘n Canton of Switzerland, upon the ne themeelves in same conditions as citizens born in, or belonging to, | other Swiss Cantons—in the Cantons of cerne, Tessin, for instance, upon the same citizens of the Cantons of Vau and, in like manner, Swiss citizens shallenjoy, in re- spect to establishing themselves, the same rights in one Sane ofthe Union as citizens of the other American tates. These reciprocal advantages are #0 limited as to ex- tend merely tothe right cf establishment, and not to ® participation in the property of communities and corporations, nor to the exereise of political rights. A stipulation ie here expresred, conformably with our federal constitution, by which the establishment in Switzerland according ‘to the provisions of the treaty, in only guaranteed to Ubriatian citizens of the United States. The Cantona, however, are not obliged to make use of their right of exel ig individuals of other re- Hgious principles. the further provisions of this part ot the treaty are of = most important character. They relate to the liberation from military service of individuals estab- | lished—to their equal taxation with the citizens of the country in which they reside; and to the indemnities | for damages in cone ‘of war or appropriation for pur- ie ntilit: Our calling your ittention to these points, gentle. | men, will. we imagine, suffice to convince you of their | advantages. | nd six constitute the secend division; | , Lu- editions as Artioles five they stipulate evtire and unconditicnal liberty of dis- log of property for the eltizens of the two contract. | Re ountries.
