NEW YORK HERALD. JAMES GORDON BENNETT. PROPRIETOR AND EDITOR. OFFICE N. W. CORNER OF FULTO+ AND NASSAU STS. Volume XVII. ~No, 7, This Morning’ By the arrival of the Cambria at Halifax, we have three days later advices from Europe. This intelligence is highly interesting. Lord Pa'mers- ton has withdrawn from the office of Secretary of Foreign Affairs, in consequence of the unpopularity of his mearures with regard to Kossuth, as well as his movements concesming the recent revolution in France. The voiein favor of Louis Napoleon for President for ten years, is even larger than was at firet eupposed. The cotton market was improving. See the news. Our advices from Washington are very impor- tant. It appears ¢hat there isno need of appre- hending difficulty between tho United States and Great Britain in consequence of the outrage com- mitted on the American flag, by the British brig of war Express firing into the Prometheus. We learn that Lord Palmerston, late British Secretary of Foreign Affairs, disavowed the conduct of the commander of that vessel, and give assurance that he would immediately abandon the Mos- quito protectorate. This intelligence is no doubt true; and we shall accordingly look, at an early day, for the British to withdraw entirely from Mosquito; in which case, of course the Nicaraguan gevern- ment will resume jurisdiction over that portion of its territory. The King of Mosquito and his suite will, therefore, soon have to shift for themselves. When his Majesty hears the news he will be likely to exclaim—as a certain prominent candidate for the Presidency of the United States did a fow years since— where shall I go?” Unless he be put on the pension list, and supplied with whiskey and tobacco, he will in all probability be induced to remove his court and his throuo, which, it is said, was a whiskey barrel, to some part of the British porsessions in the West Indies. If he should not take this course, he would be a capital speculation for Barnum. The K'ng of Mosquito, with his suite | and throne, would ‘‘ draw immensely in the United States,” as the Prince of Showmen said of Lola Montes. We therefore recommend Barnum to | send an agent after bis Majesty at once, and secure him for exhibition in this country. He would be twice as valuable to him as the Fejee mermaid, and four times as much so a3 the woolly horse, which Col. Benton swore before a Grand Jury at Wash- ington was positively not caught on the other side of the Rocky Mountains, by his son-in-law, Col. Fremont, as was represented. We are glad that the outrage has been disa- | vowed, forit might have caused a great deal of difficulty, being of such a character as to preclude any settlement short of satisfaction to the United | States. The promptness with which it has been | @isavowed shows that England is disposed to re wain on good terms with the United States; and | not only that, but to abandon all ideas of inter- fering with the sovereignty of the American repub- lic on this continent. In this she is consulting her own interest; for, with a military despotism across the Channel, and many others on the Continent, the duy way not be far distant when she may be glad of assistance from the United States. The proceedings of Congress, yesterday, were very interesting. Geverno: Kossuth wasintroduced to the members of the House of Representatives, as plain Louis Kossuth. He made a brief speech on the occasion, andimmediately afterwards the House adjourned. The proceedings were very interesting, as will be seen by our report of them in another column. In the Senate a petition was presented fer the equipping of a vessel to bring home the Cuban Viberators rocently pardoned by the Queen of | Spain. A memorialwas presented for the estab- lishment of a new board of Mexican claims, and the resolution was called up for the restoration of flogging im the navy, which brought out Commo- dore Stockton in a very lengthy speech, in defence | of the poor sailors. Although we issue a double | sheet to-day, our space is so much crowded that we cannot refer to these matters as we would wish. We further learn from Washington that Mr. Rivee, our Minister to Paris, has been directed by our government to acknowledge the de facto go vernment of Louis Napoleon in France. _ The Congressional Banquet to Kossuth, last evening, appears to have been @ very fine affair. The guest, Secretary Webster, and several other distinguished gentlemen, made speeches. See the repert. In the Assembly of this State, yesterday, a presmble and resolations were introduced by Mr. Underwood, calling upon the government at Wash- ington to protest aghinst the right of any European nation to interfere with the concerns of another. This was of courte intended that the United States should “intervene to prevent intervention.” The affair was laid over for the present. Nothing of consequence was done in the Senate We publish in our columns to-day, the annual report of the Comptroller of the State of New York, an exceedingly interesting and important document. | Every citizen being interested in the finances of the State, either directly or indirectly, should give it a careful perusal. In the Board of Aldermen, last evening, Mayor Kingsland sent in the nomination of George W. Mateell, for Chief of Polise, and the nomination was confirmed by a vote of sixteen to one. This appointment oxists during the present term of the Mayor, and thirty da: thereafter. The term of Mayor Kingsland expires on the Ist of January, 1853. A very feeling letter of thanks was received | by the Board from the associates of Governor Koseuth, now in this city, acknowledging their gratitude for the generous manner in which they had been received. Louls Napoleon’s Triumph—Its Probable Consequences. According to the last accounts frem France, the coup d@ état of Louis Napoleon has met with the most | brilliant success from the French people. He has | been elected to the dictatorship for ten years, by an immense majority—probably seven millions out of nine—a larger majority than that which he received | as President of the defunct republic. By this vote an unlimited power has been conferred upon him to give such @ constitution to France, and establish such political institutions, as the Dictator may choose and the French people submit to Every prediction which we made on the probable effects of the coup d'état on the French nation, has | been realized to the most extraordinary extent. The republic, with all its “liberty, equality, and fra- ternity,” is unequivocally abolished by an immense vote—firet by the army, and then by the popular voice. The act of Napoleon, on the 2d of Decem- | ber, which was denounced as an act of usurpation, on both sides of the Atlantic, has received the sanction of popular suffrage to a most unprecedent- ed extent. ‘he idea, therefore, put forth by Kos- suth and other hopeful theorists—that the coup d'état would be tho beginning of @ revolutionary war in Europe—is entirely demolished by the fact that peace and order, and comparative tranquillity, have been restored in France, cotemporaneously with the vast vote of the people for the dictatorship, and the permanent establishment of a military regime. In- gurrection and attempts at revolution may still break | out in France, and eleewhere in Lurope; but the military governments there are ftrong enough and watebiul enough to put them d years to come—probably during the present co cracy, after @a experience of moro than daif a con tury, and all sort®of revolutions in forme of govern- ment, seems to be utterly impractionble ia | and throughout Burope. | A Sew drys tines, when trert'ng of the comp | ury. Demo rance | in exclusively Catholic countries cannot exist. @ tat of Louis Napoleon as the first act of the great political drama to be performed en the theatre of Europe, we stated it as eur conviction that the démoutment would be the permanent establishment of military despotism in France and throughout the continent of Europe. We were and are impressed with the beliof that the centralized military and civil forces of France have the power, as they un- doubtedly have the inclination, to “hold France as long as the Roman army held the empire of Rome, from the time of Augustus Cwsar to Augustulus ;” and we doubt whother there can be sufficient force mustered among all the conflicting parties of France to prevent such a consummation. Some of our contemporaries, however, dissented from this “‘ philosophy,” onthe ground of want of similarity between the present social state of Europe and that of the period referred to, and think that the advanoed state of civilization to which Europe has now attained, utterly precludes the possibility of such a contingency as that we have foreshadowed. One of the arguments is, that the Roman people were so debased by Pagan super- atitions, that their condition admitted of no parallel being drawn between it and that of the Christianized masses of Europe in our day. i We ‘cannot admit, however, the fall force of this reasoning. Though the people of Rome were abject believersin a fraudulent system of priestcraft, were they more blindly superstitious than the same classinthe present day, in mostof the Roman Ca- tholic eountries eof Europe? Were they more the unreasoning tools of crafty priests than the masses on the European continent, who swallow almost any prepesterous superaatural humbug which is presented to them for credence, endorsed by their spiritual fathers? Are the pious frauds of winking statues, and bleeding pictures, and miraculous exhibitions, yet extinct? Nay, have we not seon them revived and faithfully believed in, under the regime and auspices of the Holy Father who now occupies the chair of Saint Peter? And do we forget the no less fanatioal and superstitious spirit which so often manifests itself even here, following every ridiculous vagary, from Mormen polygamy to Rochester knockings? Why, if an impartial judgment were given between the spiritual be- nightedness and superstition of the Roman ple- beians and the same class now living under the Christian dispensation, we doubt not but it would be found on the side of the former. Certainly it would be also indisputably proved that the popular religion of Southern Europe is much more favor- able tothe cause of despotism than that of almost any other system which has from time to time flourished on the earth. Wherever and whenover revolutions have broken out, the Romish clergy have been almost invariably arrayed against them, It is unnecessary to refer to the hiatory of 1848 in support of this allegation, when kingcraft and priesteraft allied to put down all popular move- ments. Sufficient is it to point to affairs in France at the present moment, where the clergy co-operate in supporting the measures of Louis Napoleon, and issue pastorals to their flocks, enjoining them to vote for him, reminding them at the same time of “the great religious acts which have marked his govern- ment.” Nor is this conservatism of power con- fined to the Roman clergy, but itis fully participat- edin by many of the Protestant sects. Tho loyalty of the churchmen of the British Island, for instance, is only equalled by their rapaciousnees and pride. Therefore, we do not think that the Genius of Liberty will receive any great support from this quarter. Non tali aurilio, nec defensoribus istis. Weare told, however, of other great aids which freedom can reckon on, in these days, which to the poor Pagans were unknown, namely, our advance in the acience of chemistry, the invention of gun- powder, spinning jonnier, and cotton gins, steam power, railroads, &c. Why, all these but furnish more ample power to oppressors, as long as they have control over them. The destructive proper- ties of gunpowder are, in their hands, the readiest and most formidable means by which to crush all nascent revolutions. The improvements in mechani- cal arts, however beneficial to society in other re- pects, only subserve the system of centralization, by enabling the few to command the labor and monopolize the gains of the many; and capital- ists will always be found advocates and supporters of the powers that be. Railroads and telegraphs are also potent instruments to the same end. And | as forthe mighty agency of the press, we see at | the present moment with what facility Louis Na- poleon has shorn it of its strength. It is very equivocal, therefore, whether all these superiorities of the present era in Europe, which we are wont to laud se highly, do not as much tend to the support and permanency of despotism as to its overthrow. The Roman Church prevailing there has taught to the populace passive ebedience, both in religion and politics. By an unhappy concur- rence of events, republicanism and democracy in those regions are allied to infidelity and irreligion. Hence, on the temporary establishment of the re- public, there is ne principle, no integrity, no prac tical morality, in the men who guide its destinies. Republics without religion cannot exist. Republics In the first instance, they are without principle, or honesty, or integrity ; in the last, they are obedient only to the powers of superstition and the pricat- hood. Modern times have not seen many parallels to NIE hee and his cotemporaries; and we can- not subscribe to the theory that there now exists in Europe, “with all appliances and means to boot,” s0 ardent a love for liberty, and determination to achieve it, as there did even inthose days when Augustus founded the Roman Empire. And we therefore retain our creed, that Europe is now ravitating towards a like destiny. At this time fous Napoleon is dictator of France, and we may soon be on the look out for a demonstration of the course te which his policy will tend; and that ten- dency in due time will be towards a rupture with England, under the secret ation of Russia, whose diplomacy is to march on Constantinople. Tue Fine Arts—A New Movement.—We publish elsewhere in our columns, a very interosting address to the friends of the fine arts throughout the country, signed by a gentleman who has con- sulted with a number of eminent artists of this city, and who have concurred in the project an- nounced. A few evenings since a meeting was held by a large number of artists, and the ideas of pro- mulgating this address were discussed and generally concurred in, by many of the most distinguished among them. More of this soon. That this city and country presents a vast field for the cultivation of the fine arts, there can be no question. We have reached a point of populatien and wealth quite sufficient to command a school of fine arts of the highest and purest kind in this city. ‘The history of the existing Art Union proves the fact itself. Some two years ago, when wealth and population were less, that institution collected near- Vy one hundred thousand dollars, to be applied to the patronage of fine arts in thie city alone. A liberal, enlarged, and skilful movement among the artists and friends of the fine arts in this country, would be capable of concentrating, every year, at east two or three hundred thousand dollars, for the cultivation and patronage of art and artists. It soon will be time to move in the right direction. —A call for a ApoiitTion State Convention | State Convention of “colored folks,” for the pur- pose of protesting against ocrtain parts of the Governor's message, to be held in Albany, appear- ed inthe Tribune, one of the Seward abolition pa- pers of this city, yesterday.

HIGHLY INTERESTING FROM EUROPE. THRED DAYS LATER. aed ARRIVAL OF THE CAMBRIA AT HALIFAX: Resignation of Lord Palmerston. anne AFFAIRS IN FRANCE. Overwhelming Majority of Louis Napoleon.

Hauirax, Jan, 7, 1852. ‘The steamship Cambria arrived at 7 o’clock last eve, ning. She has twenty-eight passengers for Boston, and one only for Halifax. Her news is to the 27th ult. The Cambria left for Boston on Tuesday evening at half-past 9 o’olock, and will be due at Boston to-mor- row morning. There had been no arrival ef American steamers at Liverpool since the sailing of the Atlantic. The Humboldt arrived at Southampton on the morn- ing of the 26th ult, ‘Two great events had transpired in the course of the few days precedizg the departure of the steamer, each capable of seriously influencing the character of all com- mercial operations:—First, the resignation of the Secre- tary for Foreign Affairs, in England; and, second, the election of Louis Napoleon, as President of France for ten years, by a very large majority. The Express states that the Austrian Ambassador at the Court of St. James, and now at Brussels, has received orders to proceed immediately to his,post. England, ‘Tke resignation of Lord Palmerston caused a tempo- rary disarrangement of the various markets, and a de- cline of prices in many occurred—but when it became known that Lord Granville was to succeed Lord Pal. merston, confidence became in some measure restored. The sudden retirement of Lord Palmerston from the office of Foreign Secretary. caused the greatect amaze. ment and most profound regret of the whole nation. His successor, it is officially announced, is Lord Gran- ville. ‘The wit hdrawal of Lord Palmerston from the govern- ment is imputed to the dissensions which have been known to exist in the cabinet for several months past, and was, probably, precipitated by the significant recep- tion end emphatic avowal of opinion to the Kossuth deputaticn, te whom his Lordship used language by no means complimentary to the absolutists of Europe. The fearless pcsition assumed ty his Lordship proved distasteful to the majority of the Ministry, and hence the result. This has been the all prevailing topic of conversation at this festive searon, and has created a univerea! sensation, The under-secretary, Lord Stanley, had also tendered his resignation, Among the rumored causea of Lord Palmerston’s seces- sion from the cabinet, was that of a difference of opinion upon the abstract question of the French revolution, though the mystery is not likely to be revealed before the meeting of Parliament. It would appear that the return of many Irish emi- grants to their own country, had attracted considerable attention in Ireland, as, in very many instances, the ex- pectations entertained had not been realized. The Irish were congratulating themselves upon it, and regarded it as a ground cf hope. One of the members of an extensive drysaltery estab- lishment in Liverpool, .ad absconded, after appropriating funds to theamount{of £5,000. A Seotch‘firm, remotely connected with the house to which the defaulter belong ed, had offered to make good all deficiencies, provided the defaulter would enter into a bond not te return to England. The iron house of John Barclay, of Buchanan street, Glargow, bas suspended payment. The liabilities are stated at £70,000. ‘The house of Quarles, Ham & Bons, in the Oporto trade. has failed, with liabilities stated at £90,000. The French Republic. ‘The all-engrossing topic of the Presidential election was occupying the French mind, to the exclusion of all other matters. Louis Napoleon has been elected to the Presidency for ten yeare, by an overwhelming majority of votes. The poll of sixty. eight departments, though incomplete, gave “yes,” 6,400,600; “no,” only 600,000. ‘A telegraphic despatch from Paris, Dec. 26th gives as the votes of 81 departments, of which 23 were complete, « yea,”” 6,011,000; * no,’ 709,000. Many of the deputies had been eet at liberty, and much speculation was indulged in as to the new press law to be shortly promulgated. The best informed persons think that each journal will have to deposit a certain eum with the government as security for good behavior. ‘The offences of the press were to be, lst. Attack upon the President; 24. Inciting hatred among citizens; 3d. An attack upon religion, family, or property. Each cflence was to be punished by fine and imprisonment. ‘The corre spondent of the London Globe, writing from Paris, on Friday morning, says that amongst the rumors fm Paris is one to the effect that some ministerial changes will accompany or follow the assumption of the government, when pronounced legal by the vote of the people. Mantalembert is spoken of as likely to form part of the mew cabinet, and that the portfolio of public instruction will be confided to him; but that M. M. Ron- der and Fould, and General 8t. Arnaud will remain in office. The papers state that the police of Renis, having been informed that some of the refugees in London were about to enter Brittany from Jersey, measures were taken to arrest them. Three days back, M. Brochers, Commissary of Police, gave orders to arrest a young man who presented himself with s passport quiteirregular. “You are,”’ said M. Bro- chers, “furnished with a passpert which is not worth any- thing. It isunderafalse name. Your own name is Le Balleaine de Villiers, sonof the editor of the Poscrit You are from London, and you have been reported seve- ral times condemned for political offences.” The young man was obliged to admit the truth of the magistrate’s statement, and in an hour afterwards he was on his way, under escort, to Paris, France and Morocco. Hostile Position of Morocco against the French, The Clamor Publico quotes @ letter from Gibraltar, o the Sth inst., stating that the Emperor of Morocco had refused to ratify the treaty conoluded between the French Admiral Dubourdieu and the Pasha of Tangiers, and was marching towards the town at the head of an army of 40,000 men. This alarming report had induced the Spanish government to receive on board and relleve the Europeans who might wish to quit Moroceo. There is little doubt but Tangiers and the other towns along the coast will be sacked by the Bedouins, the mo- ment hostilities are re-commenoed in Germany Helr to the Throne of Spain. A telegraphic despatch, received at Paris, stat bat the Queen of Spain was safely delivered of robust prin- cess,on the 20th of December. Belgium and the Zollverein, The Belgian government issa!} have made several concessions to the Zollverein, to facilitate a defi- nite arrangement. There are, however, sundry difficul- ties, which might not too easily be settled, concerning the treaty between the Zoliverein ard the Netherlands. Saxe Coburg entirely contents to that without any re- strictions, whereas thore governments which are sharers at the Rhine custeme, had agreed with reservations re- lative to these customs le Congress. The Gers Berlin edvices to the 28d instant state the fact that some of the Gerinan governmente will rend deputicr to ‘cmmert cial Congress opened by the invitation j while Russia deciicrs to do anything. on the grevrd that the /ollyere'y murt becenstruged before it | would rest upon the friends of the prop can, as body, enter into any further negotiations with Ptates not belonging to it. This excited some specula- tion as to what the result of the comfereace may be. The Great Loan. A letter from Beriim, of the 220, says the conditiors of the new loan will be published in the cours» of ths week. The loan will be $16,000,000, at 4 per cemt 10 9034. $10,000,000 of this eum ere to be left to the epe- culators of the exchange.

To the Artists of the United States, AND TO THE FRIENDS OF ART THROUGHOUT THE UNION.

It is perhaps, proper to state, as » preliminary Temark, that all attempts heretofore have felled, not for™ want of talent or devotion, but because of the anti-re- publican character of the several institutions. The char- ters have been fraught with semival principles of discord giving authority and privilege wholly incompatible with the idea of progress, permanency, utility, and grandeur. The discovery is now made that the principles of ar. institution must he fraternal and comprehensive, aiming, at the greatest possible reeult by the expenditure of the least porsible means, tor in these lay the moral as welba Physical ecience, faving consulted over fifty of the leading artists of the city of New Yerk, and being fully aseured that all, after @ careful conrideration of the plan now proposed, will lend a listening ear and a willing hand, I propose briefly to sketch the eutline of the fastitution coxtemplated:— ‘The erection in the city of New York of temple dedi- cated to art, divided inte four distinct departments, with. ia offices. : nye of a temple Ley the receptacle of works of art for sale, andepento the public, es an il for the cultivation of publio bal oe # lateral halls tobe appropriated to the encourage ment of att, in the form of an art union and a payinz, exhibition gallery—the receipts of thejlatter to accrue}tc euch artisteas may suffer their genius to soar in the sublime regions ef history and allegory.
