Peete ty Our Foreign Policy—The Law ef Nations— ‘The Necessity of a New Code. Our telegraphic despatches from Washington apnounce that Mr. Webster will return to the eapi- talon the 20th inst. Mr. Graham, who has gone to North Carolina, will return about the same time. All the leading members of the government will then be at their posts. It is necessary that they should be within deliberative distance of each otber—as important questions may soon arise to absorb a great deal of their attention. Perhaps the best thing to open the eyes of the cabinet to the crisis created by the Cuban interven- but to present to our readers an abstract of the celebrated speech of Mr. Webster on the Greek revolution. It is a most artistical prodaction, and one of the first of those splendid oratorical suegzsses which illustrate his nam and the dootrine ad- ment on both sides, maces it most appropriate. We will give an epitome of the speech, almost without commentary. ‘The Sth December, 1828, Mr. Webster moved a apprepriation to pay the expenses of a special agent ta Greece. Greece was in open rebellion against attention to the struggle. The whole country was sympatbising with the Greeks, and sent forward contributions. ‘The 19th January, 1824, Mr. Webster spoke to | his resolution. We will omit, necessarily, the narra | tive part of the speech, and condense the argument in the smallest space. He said that ful; time, industry, and the arts have been agents our greatness—growth, not asquisition, the mode ofinercase. But that policy was on the side of liberal sentiments. Tae age was extra- | erdinary—our position commanding; we wore a | great and rising republic, and our relations with the world gave prodigious effect to our example. ‘The question of the age was between absolute and | regulated governments ; and perhaps the form of | the Jatter would be subordinate. The real straggle | was between absolutism and the right of society to impose checks upon it. The spirit of the age was for liberal insti but it was opposed by the great potentates of roye, on grounds alike spplicable to al! States—the | sawa horizontal kings against the of the lower cla: masses—by the upper class, the sovereigns. He was loth to believe that Eng- land endorsed that policy; but if she did, against her, aswell as Russia, Prussia, and Austria, he was for ting imstanter the American policy, in open avowed opposition of principle and design to the doctrine of the Holy Alliance. He trusted In God that the United States had resolution and spirit enough left to proclaim and enforce an adverse system, securing the rights of the people. Mr. Webster procee ls to the question, what can we do forGreece? This was a quarter of a century ago, when the United States numbered not twice as many souls as the Greeks in Asia and in Europe, estimated then at seven millions. We had no army; and the American navy and shipping was not a fourth of its present strength. Our agriculture was undeveloped, and the arts hardly of any conse- quence. The country had not recovered from the outrageous British war of 1812; the traces of its | vandalism were still visible in the smoke-stained | | ruins of private and public buildings at Washing- ton. But to day, we stand forth, not lessin strength and courage than in principle, as the model of na- tions. Mr. Webster answers the question in 1824, by saying, we cannot go to war. We must net endanger our pacific relations. What then? We can enlist a greater champion than fleets and ar- mies—we can enlis: public opinion. Public opinion had grewn into a power over brute force. It had made the recent overrunning of Spain by France nugatory. Mr. Webster proceeds then to give a etatistical | and historical aceount of modern Greece, which is not relevant to the matter we have in hand. He then asks, what did the Holy Alliance do when the revolution broke out! They were at Laybach. They proclaimed their horror ‘of the criminal combinations which had breken out in "astern Europe.” One party to the Alliance, Rus- sia, had always before encourag:d rebellion in Greece. In 1482, Ivan; in 1696, Peter the Great; in 1709, Catharine II. had oxcited the Greeks to entertained a more disboiically diagus:- and if Rosas is guilty of such an act, his name be placed in the calendar of blood-thirsty | _ tyrants, and, if possible, he himself should perish with such infamy attached to him as forever to warn the world ageinst the renewal of any such outrage. this continen’, at least, such horrible outrages on the feelings of humanity cannot be tolerated. The American mind cannot contemplate facts of so hcrrible a character, withou! being so startled as to have the repetition of them ‘orever pre- cluded. The terrorism of a European despot can- not long be permitted to any pewer in South Ameri- ca, and, unless civilization can have its proper in- fluences on the southern part of this continent, an entire revolution must sweep away the practices of barbarian ages. We have not much confidence in the revolutions and counter revolutions which warm, every two or three years, the restless factions of South American States, and we are but little dis- posed to believe that they are generated by any good will to society. They are rather the results of personal ambition. Yet, whatever they are, or whichsoever way they may tend, it is to be hoped that the United States, aud the people of this | coup:ry, may have such an influence on the several governments of the South American States, ae will spare history, for the future, from the bloody records which have too frequently disgraced the character of the southern division of this continent. Should Rosas be overthrown in the conflict that has been threatening to take place for some time past, in the Argentine provixces, it is essential that the establishment of a new authority should be accom- panied by the amenities of civilization.

This is the doctrine of the £ hings—it can make no progress in ear day. The English revolution of 1688 found people advanced beyond the precedent of Runn: mede and royal charters.

Mr. Webster then eloquently receuats the strug- gle of the Greeks, from 1821 to the last advices. He hopes the expresvion of sympathy from the United States would encourage them to continue their rebellion. Ilaving given that sympathy, the issue may be left to Providense. The resolution gave the President no new power, nor enjoins new duty, nor hastens him to discharge any duty ‘The Turks had no right to complain, nor the par. ties to the Holy Alliance. Tey have expressed their opiniens, and do not call it intorference—the President's message is no interference; nor is this resolution. The resolution, however, he said, pro- ceeded from no wish to aggrandise ourselves, nor to injure others. We but maintain our own inte- & | Tests, and oppose the intervention of new rules and principles affecting the independence of nations, ard striking at our government. We take occa sion of the case of Greece to protest against the innovations of the Holy Alliance. And now, then, the moment of action has ar. rived. Mr. Webster has been taken from the fo- | rum of the House and the Senate, and, as Secre- tary of State, dealing with the greatest qu of his age, and assigning the proper part ia foreign affairs to his country, he must, by deeds, verify the promise of his declarations of 1824. He can, if he please, have the honor ef so using the opportunity of the Cuban intervention as to fiaish the column of bis own fame, and place it immoveably in the re- publican edifice which wi!l inevitably include all nations. The Grock spooch is but one of many pledges be has given to bie country.
