Telegraphic Summary. The Cambria arrived at Halifax last evening, and we publish her news in brief in this morning’s paper. It is only three days later than that brought by the Arctic. It appears that cotton had declined | in one week about one quarter of a penny. The principal event by the C. is the opening of the World’s Fair by the Queen, in the presence of thirty thousand persons. It was a great and quiet affair. The bulletin from Washington rep-esents that the difficulties with respect to Mr. Lewis, of Phila- delphia, and Mr. Senator Cooper, have not made so much trouble in the cabinet as was announced a day or two ago. In fact, the first story is said to We will warrant that the second story, therefore, is quite as far from the fact itself as the first one was, for we have reasons for thinking that Senator Cooper did have an interview with the President, in which he said what was reported, and, moreover, that his friends believed the cabinet was in commotion on the question of Mr. Lewis's reten- tion. After the President and his associates have returned to Washington, we may really understand what is the true nature of the disturbance, and how this petty local quarrel can affect the administra- tion. The Attorney General bas modified his opinion | on the Florida cases. From New Orleans we ascertain that we were | correct, recently, in denouncing as a hoax the story published in some other journals, with regard to outrages and robberies and murders perpetrated in Nicaragua. There does not seem to have been the slightest ground for the monstrous falsehoods. The Massachusetts Legislature rejected, yester- day, the bill giving the credit of the State to the amount of $2,000,000, to aid in the construction of a tunnel under the Hoosac Mountain, by the Troy and Greenfield Railroad Company. | Elections tn France and in the United States. | The governments both of France and of the | United States are republican. They have some | general features in which they resemble each other; | and though they differ very widely in some respects, | Yet it is not difficult to perceive that the political elements, on which the active government of France rests, are similar to those existing in the United Srates. In our own country, we have at the Southa warm, chivalrous, and excitable population, zeal- ous in the defence of their hereditary institution of slavery; at the North, we have a cool, calculating class of persons, who are led from their usual pro- priety by religious fanaticism, and whe oppose the — South and its interests. Something of the same character may be seen in the South and inthe ! North of France.

From the South of France a more imagi_ native class of men arises, who are devoted to the | discussion of splendid principles which spring spon- taneously from original emotions, uncontrolled by cold and formal platforms and theories. France has one Assembly and a President of the republic, concentrating all the sovereign and local power of the nation. This country has a President, and a | Senate and a House of Reprosentatives, deriving | their position directly from the people. Each State | of the thirty-one composing the great confede- | racy, in its independent, sovereign capacity, | still maintains a check against the consolidation of | power for oppressive purpcses; and here it is that the population of the United States bave a conser- vative power, which is the chief safeguard of our local republican institutions, which France does not The elections both in France and in the United States are conducted by the people, who have the »wer to make their own President and their owa Assembly. In France, the election for the head of that republic will take place next May; and in the following November, the election for a new Presi- dent of the United States will also take place. These are great pe al events in both countries, | and, under present appearances, have about equal | interest for the wot while both countries are about equally concerned as to the results of their re- The influences in both coun- tries of the political parties have mash that is similar, while the pi * themselves are not so dis similar as they might seem ata first glance. We have no or monarchical party, but we have something very like one in the friends of Mr. Fillmore. Louis Napoleon is excluded by the constitution of France from serving a second term, and the only difference between him and Mr Fillmore is, that the latter will be excluded by the people, who never give mere Vice Presidents a se- «| opportunity for directing the destinies of the ountry. Without counting Mr. Fillmore’s adhe- rents, we have four parties. The first and second | whigs and the old democrats, who national, but broken up, caved in, t in state of perturbation and pity The third and fourth embrace the new anti-slavery factions cor tionist State comprise the are more or le or roaming aby lated, an the new order of #e the Southern States There ights men of In France there are four first, the old monarchica rvative party of | the Bourbons, and then the new conservative party of the Orleans family. The third party is com- posed of the moderate republicans like Cavaignac, | and the fourth, of the ultra or red, and red hot re- publicane—the “fire eaters” of France-the social- ists, por exerilence. Such is the division of the elective power in the two countries, and there is no evidence that any reasonable calculation can be made on the com- plete success of any one of these parties, in either | country, by a direct vote. There will be a serab | race for the Presideney both in France and in the | United States, and the National Assembly will have to decide for the French republic in one case, and the House of Representatives at Washington, in the other, who hall be the Presidents of the two countries reepectively. Still, the merits of each party are urged, and thore if much inquiry about , also. we have our candidates for the Presidency, also Among the whigs, Fillmore, Clay, Webster, and | suggested by the Seott are prominent—the latter the most so. Among the democrats, there are not less than a baker’s round dozen named already, and whether or not Sam Houston has been thrown in for the head or tail, nobody seems to know. Cass seems nearly covered up, or to be out of the way, at least now is of any grea for the present. hen, the anti-slavery factionists are lying low with a man jn their eye, but nobody can tell who he is, or what he is likely to be ; whilst the secessionists of the South have not yet selected rtunit their man, because they are not quite sure that they would be ‘ae to goon with the case himself. But, as _ | Jong as they are plaintiffs (eaid Mr. Van Buren,) and we will not show a lingering love for the Union, by taking any interest in the Presidential question. ‘Thus, then, it may be perceived, upon a general view of France and the United States, with respect | ; to their domestic politics, that the parties and van- didates have much in common. In France they are yet young in republicanism, but they have done quite as well as could have been expected. In fuet, the French people have advanced more rapidly towards a good, enlightened, republican ae government than this country did in the outset of its career, in the same space of time. The trials of Washington were many, even in his first Presi- dential term, from envy, spleen, and all unchari- tableness ; and the people themselves were not, till tion of the best course to pursue. In our early | history, improper restrictions were placed upon the press, and the regulatiens of the old English go- verpment were not thoroughly modified and eradi- cated till within the present century. Still we went on improving from year to year, as we hope France will go on—as we think she will; and we have no doubt that her republican government is as secure, + and promises to be as permanent as our own. | France cannot return to a monarchy. It is an im- posibility—and neither need we have any appre- hensions of her coming through the ordeal except with safety. The people of the United States know not who is to be their President in 1853, | no gloomy forebodings in either case. ‘The elective power of each country will be sufficient for the emergency ; and if the people cannot directly choose their President, the delegated power of the popu- | lation will set:le the question, on a compromise, and with wisdom.

On this fact, a correspondent denounces the Secretary, and calls _ the act a piece of Galphiniem. Notso.
