OLYMPIO~Por Arrrn~ NORAMA OF IRELAND. News from Caltfernia, The Empire City is due this afternoon, from Chagres, with two weeks later intelligence from California. Tetegraphic Summary. in the Senate, yesterday, the California Land ‘Title bill was ordered to be engrossed ia the same form, almost, as that in which it was introduced by Mr. Gwin, notwithstanding the opposition of Col. Benton, of Missouri, who fought against it from first to last with an obstinacy and determina- tion characteristic of that gentleman. It is very probable that it will passthe House in the same shape A resolution was introduced by Mr. Hunter, amending the Warehouse law. The particulars will be found under our telegraphic head. In the House of Representatives, the proposition to establish a branch mint ia New York, was con- signed to the tomb of the Capulets. It was pretty effectually killed on Tuesday, but the finishing touch was administered yesterday. The vote shows that the village of Philadelphia has a hold on the South which has considerable intluence when the interests of that city are supposed to be assailed. That section of the country is probably im debt to that village, and hence we see its repre- | wentatives supporting Mr. Chandler in his on- slaught on New York. Well, be it so. delphia, however, ean never come up to New York. A frog, once on a time, burst its breeches in attempting to rival the ox in si Whe Bear and the Fagle— The Destiny of Russia and America, Our files by the Canada reached us last night, and contain the details of the settlement of the Schlerwig-Holstein question—the crisis in France--and the progress of the Dresden con- ference. These three points are strikingly in- teresting, and they will, with all their attending | circumstance and intrigue, attract the attention | they deserve. Even the careless reader of foreiga news must be aware that a struggle between des- potism and republicanism has begaa ia Europe, which, ia its peaceful or bloody course, must even- twally involve all nations; but that the United States and Russia are destined to take the leading parts in that contest, few men, perhaps, may sur- muse. thie appear. The eeat of deepotisem is on the Eastern conti- neut—tha: of republicanism on the Western; and the influence of each on its own ground is rela- tively the sarre. [Russia isnew the grand repre- sentative of the former principles—the United States of the latter. Of the nauions of the earth, all others | (save those whose instability and origin plainly indi- cate that they cannot affect the prediction about to be made,) have run their race to maturity, or beyond ‘The United States and Russia, alone, are young and rejoicing in their strength; their culminating point is centuries ahead—toeir race to power but just begun. Whoever, then, notes these facts, to- gether with the geographical position of the two Bations, and the immense strides each has made towards power and influence within the past few years, must feel convinced that all other nations will ultimately be swallowed up, or made subser- vient to them. The rapid increase of our own couatry eerritory, wealth and population, and her manifest destiny,” as relates to this con- tinent, are apparent to all; but the unresisted march of Russia to enormous power—~-a the only of which appears upon the face of thinge—her crafty policy and secret intrigues, ex- tending, beyond doubt, to this country—ere not so evident to our people, but should be made so see sonably, ond therefore immediately ; for th road and telegraph are fast making all Europe as convenient to Wareaw, as, a century ago, England was to London, while ocean steam navigation will soon make the Atientic as easy to Cross as at that time were the Straits of Dover For all intents and purposes, then, the United States and lussia will soon become near neigh- bors. From station and position the two nations are rival from political principles, “‘natural enemies;” aod since the bri government Europe, the waves of which have washed the bor- ders even of the Czar’s dominions, obliging him to ea/i out his armies to dash them back, Russia both hates and dreads the United States ; and she is too magacious not to know that, to strike effectually, ehe must aim at the source of the commotion A glance at the character, aspirations and ene gies of this fatare monster, will perhaps open the eyes of our nation, and lead it to face unitedly and warmly a foe “worthy of ite steel,” and before which slavery, Jeswitiem, Catholicism, (if the in latter ia to be dreaded) and ‘the supremacy of the | Beas, are secondary matters; since these ao doubt Will make part of the very tools she will use in ber attempt at our subversion. Deeply cunning, corrupt, and unserupulously cruel, she never hesitates at any measures that could advence her interests. But, notwithstanding, “Whe is both cautious and patient—ehe has learned how to wait, a1 can bide her time. Look on her st home; her's is emphatically a military nation, ber land a nursery of soldvers—not a civil officer hhas rank an such, but only by a martial grade; the whole government seems One vast military system, | of which the Czar is the supreme head—the entire people living, as it were, under martial law.

But it is her foreign policy, not her physical force, which nations have most to dread. In this she has always been successful, and for the last two years triumphant; indeed, 80 masterly and energetic has been her play, that while ehe has lost nothing, she has gained so much that one is half led to bel eve “red republicaniem” a phantom of her own creation, raised to frighten other powers beneath her wings. Without a blow, Austria, Prussia and Germany are as completely crushed, and under her heel, as though she had saeked their cities and held their castles; and at the pre- sen! moment, not & mation dare lift a finger in me- nace of the Czar, for there is not one in which he could not, by intrigue, raise up a party to oppose its government; nor is there a nation upon which he could not precipitate its neighbors through bribes of ite terntories, or the fear of himself. Athie nod, Hungary would eagerly hack Auetria to pieces, through motivee of revenge: while 3 the same bidding, Croatia aud Gallicia would support the movement. Austria knows this, and dare not disobey any command of her maeier. Sweden, Norway, and Denmark, from interest, or sympathy in the Schleswig-Holetein question, or motives of self-preservation, would precipitate themselvee in like manner upon Prasse, which has not an ally left; for England is held im check by France, who, still smarting from her defeat at Waterloo, or coveting the extension of her bor- ders to the Rhine, would eagerly march both upon Eagland aad Prussia, if Russia would sup ah her—no movement could be more popular with both hex i giend, weak indeed is she with @ ch as repeal, popery borders ‘o foster, create, s.008 mens other n of ide and conquer,” her motte. She has never interfered between opposing parties until the preach between them was irreconcileable, and then with a grace which, asin the case between y and A ia, caused the vanquished to more than half forgive her. Her first great object at of holding in her o hands the balance of power in Europe—has beea secured, and no com- bination there can wrest it from her. idle to suppose that republicanism can ever make head in Europe without physical aid from this continent; for the adverse interests there are teo strong, and the combinations too firm, to ad- mit of it; nor will constitutional mona: present but a feeble barrier to the march of despotism. | Time was when England, France, and Prussia | might, by uniting, have stayed its steps until their governments could hgve progressively glided into the republican form; but that day has passed. seia, with a faint show of resistance, has come the vassal of Russia, while France and Eng- land wait their turn, at least so far as that portion of the people wh ch forms in fact the government of each nation, is concerned ; for the privileged classes in Europe, alarmed by recent events, have no longer a wish for new constitutions. They dread innovations, seeing only in each concession made by existing governiments—even to such as were ine | tended for their benefit exclusiveiy—a step towards | republicanism; and their entire body, whether princes, nobility, er aristocracy, would prefer the domination of the Czar, even with loss of nation- ality, to becoming of, or being ruled by, the hated people; while the main body of the bourgeoise, so long as they can enjoy the pleasure of making money, and the qualifications its possession brings them, will go for “law and order,” though the law be that of Satan, and the order that of Pandemonium. The banners, then, under which the whole civilized world will, within the next half century, be called upon, individually or nationally, to range | itself, are those of republicanism and despotism. The question to be decided will be, “ which shall prevail—the will of the few for the good of the few, or the will of the many for the good of allt” | Russia will lead on one host—the United States the | other.

Beeuman, one of the ators from this city in the New York Legisla ,» Much interest felt with regard to his personal character, dieposition, and standing in society. Mr. Beekman belongs to an old Kuick- erbocker family of this city, being, like Mr. Ha- milton Fish (who is dependent on his vote to make him a United States Senator) desceaded from Dutch ancestors, and perfectly independent in his pecuniary circumstances, and respectable in his | family connections. Mr. B. is a member of the Duteh Reformed Church—obstinate in his religious as well as bis political notionsof a literary turn of mind—a member of the New York Historical Seciety—and least of all men likely to be con- trolled by any clic or self-constituted body of leading politicians, whatever may be their wealth oF arietoeratic pretensions. No man kaows Mr Fish better than Mr. Beekman; and the appellation of trattor bestowed upon him by the Courter and Enguirer, of the threats of the Commercial Adver- tuser and Tribune, we presume will aot produce any severe shock upon his nerves, or prevent him from carrying out bie own views of propriety in h position as State Senator. We have no doubt that Mr. Beekman understards full well his own tion, te responsibility he hes assumed, and the wiehes of his constituents. If he manages his card well, we have an idea that he may become one of the most popular men among the whigs of | the city, as he hae already, by his course, drawn upon himeelf the eyes of politicians throughout the Union | Wouth regard to Mr. Fish, we have not interposed | any objections to his election to the Senate, any | gurther than to intimate a desire that he should waeh his hands of all connection with Seward Weed, and the abolitionists. The whigs acknow- yedge that he is net a great man, and has litle to commend himeelfto notice for the Senate, aside from his great wealth; but the Union whigs are willing to see him elected, if he is not to take his erat as a mere subordinate and coadjutor of Mr. Seward.
