Forty years ago, just on the same day (January 15) tho code civil, which was the constitution of Napoleon, was publissed and met, I may say, with more approbation than the famed constitution of Louis Napoleon Foneparte, his nephew. This document which | seit so (he New Yorx Herp, by the last steamer, has bocs received in France with much coolness and a rovt of sneering by all the men of sense whe ba ked fato it. It contains moro ainbition than «seire to meet with the wants of Prance and its inbatitants. One who reads with care tho fifty-eight sriicies, or paragraphs, of the constitution, wiil cco that its author has written, from tho firstio tho Jset line, the werd I in every article, and that undor the appearance of doing good, be bas but ons sim, and that is to keep the power in his own hands, and to rivet the more,i possible, the chsins which are now felt so heavy by most of the natiou. Asit may be seen in tha long expected dooument, the President has assum ed tho right to direct all the wheels and rourge of tho government, to decide in ali cases, and although the clection of representatives will be made by general vote, he has the power to point out the men who sb«ll be placed forward tor the election. A very excsilent way, indeed, to fill the house with devoted men and persons whose interest will bo dircoted in & This is all right, for the present, a3 long ae the digwe will not be formed; but who can tell ‘nat, within a short time, the re- action will not bes as powerful. against Louis Napoleon, as it has been lately in his favor. ‘he formation of the Senate, which isnot yet com- plete at thie present hour, ofersto Louis Napoleon the greatest difficuites to surmont. The choice of these distinguished mem, who are to supervise (ste) the orders of the Prince President, is a difficult task, and in order to find out the best mon, those who will not charge #ad never will have reasons or intentions to ceusure his behavier, Louis Napoleon bas much to do sod many pecautions to take. Neverthorlees, it is caid tbat within a week or two, the list of Senators will uppoar in the columns of the Moniteur. Inthe meantime, the Prefects of France have been invited, by a lotter sent to them by Mr. de Morny, the present Minister of the Interior, to proceed in the eboice of the candidates for the Ke- | presentatives, advisivg them to choose men of order—men who have not the least desire to pro- mote themselvez and become conapicuous by their specohes, since the disvusrions and sittings of the Assombly will not be rendered public. this ia all right, but it proves, bya very forcible fact, that the above writicn lines on the intention of the Pre- sidont are perfectly true. He has, { rejeat it, ne other desire but to maivtain himself, without con- trol, at the head of the country. It ia well known that the ancient gorgeous o03- tumes of the Emperer, vis: those of the Senators, Prefeots, and Representatives, and other employés of the government, will be retained and resumed upon a still more magoificent scalo. The habit ala vamcatse, covered with gold and silver embroide ties, the short trowsers, silk stockings, &c., will in- augurate the now etylo of caztume; and, if rumor be true, no citizen wili be allowed to enter the Tuileries, without having o court dress, as was the usual custom during the Jast balls of the reign of Louis Philippe. Workmen of all sorta have taken possession of the Tuilerics; aud ene who visits the palace hears but tho noise of hammer, files and saws, the rat- tling of ladders, and beavy loads on the floors. These workmen, carpenters, upholsterers, smiths, ete., aro preparing the lodgings of the Prince Presi- dent, who, within a few woeks, will decidedly take up his abode under the reof which has covered so many kinge and queens—and one emperor. It is seid, and | think this is correct, that lace of the Tuilerics isa dwelling fatal to all those who have been living init. Ifso, boware, Louis Napo- leon! and remember, besides your uncle, Louis Philippe, Charles X., Louis XVIII, Louis XVI, and his unfortunate son. They all diod, either in exile, or among the bitterest euflorings, or on the scaffold. This souvenir ough! to be suflicient to be dreaded by any one. At the Luxembourg, the workmon are also busily engaged in cleansing the ex-Chamber of Peers and the apartments of the palace. The timo approaches | when the place will be in demand. The streets of Paris presented, for the last five days, a very queer sight, which was that of the ex- National Guerd carrying their muskets on their shoulders and returuing them to the marie, as they had been ordered by the last decree. The number ems, for the whole city of Paris, amount- ed te 90,000. They have ail been carried to Vin- cennce, where is the genera! depot, till they will be again rendered to the national militia, as soon as it will be re-organized. 1 The preventive laws sre more than ever put into activity in Paris, il ae in the provinces. No political conver: iz allowed im the public places or cof ses, OF evenin the theatres. An order of the ager of the Theatre Francais, stuck onthe walls of the green room, has for its object the annourcement, that no politica are to be ot there, under the peralty of expulsion out of the place. The same regulation is also obeorvod in many private houses, on days of reception, where the visiters are positively forbidden, by the mzitre de la maison, to speak about politios—and this by tvecial order from the government. What a coun- try! where liberty is eo much repressed, that noone dares to express his opinion, tearing that thoro would be by bie side sepy, who would betray him! | Alag, poor France! Quantum tiutatus ab ilo! All the political men who bave beon exiled by | the decree of proscription of the President, have | been furnished wiih tree paesports, and either ac- companied to the frontiers by pe men, or ordered to leave within t fou A great num- ber of them left for Belgium, Germany, or Italy; | but alec many bave crossed tho Channel and gone | to Lugland, either to remain there or to take pas- sage tothe United Staver.

It ix also worth remarking that this is the best proof of the outragoous attempt meade against them aud their private liberty. The journal L’ Ordre, formerly edited by M. de Chambolle, one of the ex representatives, is no forete in course of publication.

The column of La Bastille, which, as it will be remembered, was erected in 1831, in honor of those who had fought for the triumph of liberty, in the three days of July 27, 23, and 29, 1830, will be submitted to an important altcration within s short time. All the names of these would be heroes will be scratched from the bronze column, and the genius of liberty, which is on the top, taken down, to be replaced by the statue of the Archbishop of Paris, Monseigneur Affre, who was shot on the bar- ri in June, 1848. This is all right, as far as it goes, but it will be remarked that the object of the government is to annibilate every thing which revives the memory of the battles fought in Paris for liberty. The rumor of a change of ministry is still afloat, and, this time, I am induced to believe that it will Gesidedly take place. M. Baroche would be named, ence more, Minister of the Interior, and M. do Mommy, would take tho direotion of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs ‘be change would take placo as soon a the President of the Senate was to be named. King Victor Emmanuel, of Sardinia, has an- Bounced to Louis Napoleon his determination to resist by force any attempt that may be made by the Northern powers to force him to abandon the resent oi tution of his country. He tells the President that the constitution of Sardinia was not the result of arevolation, but the work of his msgnanimous fathor, Charles Aibert ; that he has taken @ solemn oa:h to observe, and has ob- served, the constitutional compast. He also adda, that inno event wili hoe permit that instrumont to be trodden under foot by either of his absolute and a military neighbors; that, in this resolution, © is sustained by all ranks of his subjects. In ehort, that he wiil sooner set the world on fire than derogate from his owa honor, er tho constitutional liberties of his people. Hurrah! for King Emma nue}! M de Toquoville observed lately, that if all the dynasties of Europe bad proved themselves ay loyal, e8 brave, or as just, as that of Savoy, the word republic would never have feared an echo on the Continent. In Spain, the government has sent a copy of a do- cree to alltbe newspapers of the country, which announces that the law on the press, forbidding the publication of any article of controversy against the acts of the ministers and their delegates, the publi- cation of news from a dubious source, otc., will be enforced, and every article made liable to a penalty, if considered necessary. This has created much sensationin the country, andthe Clamor Publico has stopped its publication. ‘I'he Heraldo has issued a long paragraph on the subject, and declared that it will submit to the law. Tho French Ambassador to Madrid, M. Waleski, has presented to the Sparish government a claim from the ministry of Louis Napoleon, relative to the hundred millions owed to France, for the expense | of the army of invasion led by the Duke of Angou- | lime, in 1823. The hostilities between France and Morocco aro on the eve of being settled. It appears that the heathen potentate hassubmitted to the just demand of the French government.

In the absence of any worthier topic of dis- cussion, the journals are criticising the conversion of one Malcolm Cameron, who took huff last year with the ministry, left them abruptly, assailed their prodigality, and denounced as uscloss an office he very gladly accopted a few weeks since. Tao fault Cameron committed was prating toe much as to consistency and adherence to principle. Our form of government is so essentially vicious, that nono connect themselves with it and escape contamina: tion. In fact, no public man who has held office since responsible government became the accepted form of political existence, can boast perfect.purity. {f they have not directly stooped to the baser arts of intrigue, they have silently watched the process, and tacitly sanctioned the deeds. The question of our feudal tenure having been agitated by some of the cabinet, provoked the seig- rours to erganize for self defence. The govern ment cannot act inthe matter without consenting to surrender the quint or one fifth of the purchase money of all the seigniories when sold. The crown isin truth the mammoth seignior, and mast first consent to forego its feudal privelege, before it can with reason or justice lecture others, and ask them to be generous.

It is saidthat Cathcart wishes to seouro the services of tho Indians for the Caffre war. Certain it is that Ermatinger has been applied to, and offered em- ployment in that warfare. What @ surprise it would be to the Caffres to confront a band of paint- ed savages in one of their favorite night attacks, acd how puzzled the Indians would be to secure the favorite goalp lock. ‘This would be a good chance for you to get rid of your Florida Indians, and some of there roving gentry who mar the harmony of a caravan crossing the Western prairies.

Wasnineton, Feb 8, 1852. The Civil and Diplomatic Bill—A Board of Claims —Newspaper Postage, &¢., Fc. The Civil and Diplomatic bill reported to the House by the Committoe on Ways and Means is much more liberal than was anticipated, from the composition ef the committee. Indeed, so far,a very generous spirit has prevailed; and wherever it has been found that the increase asked is really required by the growing wants of the country, it has been allowed. * A good deal of outside presguro ia being brought to bear, to try andget the passage of a law croating a Board of Claims, and also a supplementary board to the late Commission on Claims against Mexico. But I doubt exceedingly whether Congress willfeal disposed to go into the matter, after the failure of recent boards to give satisfaction. Whother tho judges who constitute these boards are honest or not, I don’t pretend to say, but certain itis thoy have been singularly unfortunate in discovering the justice of mary claims, solely because they were not pressed by relatives of the judges, or par- lished with suflicient character to induce men of the highest standing legally and morally to accept the pesition of judges, then, indeed, some degree of confidence might be placed in their decisions ; but when we see the composition of these tribunals— weedy office hunters, ex members of Congress, aud adventurers—we cannot wonder at the lack ufcon- fidence which they inspire. A great outcry bas been raised because of the statement that the committee on post offices ia- tended to recommend a uniform rato of postage on newspapers, for any distance within the United States. It is complaincd that such a law would bo great injustice to the country papers, as it would place them on a par with city jou them no protection. The rule of a uni observed with regard to letters, and is found to work well. And if it is beneficial in this respect, it would be far more useful when applied to newws- pers, because it would materially simplify the Taner in the eeveral post offices, where newspapers are distributed as ten to one when compared with letters. Andifthe uniform rate on newspapers is put down to the lowest figure for any distance, it is an advantage alike open to all. Looal country pr- pers never expect to compote with large city papers in giving news, thoy must depend for sup port upon their local character. Andif this isnot sufficient, it ie asking too much to expect that the overnment is to impose a tax upon the people of the country simply for their benefit. The loss the government interferes with the private business of individuals, or attempts to force the labors of sne the better. The idea that Congress is to vary the ta:es of newspaper pestego simply in order to im- pose a tax upon pal which the people dosire to read, and so as to force them to take papors they otherwise would not take, is manifestly absurd and tyrannical. a i Our Albany Correspondence, Axpany, Feb. 14, 1852.

He bas two objects in viow, tho one being the United States Senatorship, aftor tho expiration of Governor Davis's term, (March, | 1853,) and tho ether, the Collectorship of Boston. | Should the coalition triumph again he will meke | a bold (1 mean a prudeat) move for the Senator i ship—and I ‘wish ho may get it.” Should the coalition go to the devil, as it is like to, under his lead, then he will be ready to sacrifice himself as Collester of Boston, a place in which old Marcus | Morton made $10,000 during a four year’s incum- bency, partly through ths perquisites being great | at thattime. and they have not since grown less; | and partly through the cheapness and nutritive | qualicies of eee beans. His Excellency is tra- | | Velling Laid and'fast in Judge Morton’s footsteps, in the lively faith that tho details of hts | career will bo the same, as insome respocts they are in a fair wey to be. For instance, whoa an, ene not clearly in the huokor interest is proposed | for a place, his Uxcellency, with that sagacity which | is his mest prominent trait, immediately discovers that he is not fit for it; so that it is supposed that, | if “the oldest inhabitant” were recommended to him as a sort of animetcd meteorological table, ho | would object to him on the ground ot his not being | | sufficiently aged and experivaced for go very respon- sible a porition. The exact truth | take to be this: the Governor has no faith in the capacity of mombors | of his party to fill any office that has long been occu- | pied by whigs. Mr Butler he cannot make Attorney | General, because Mr. Clifford has filled the officeso | sens with whom I have been brought into contact. | | us has made him familiar with oar institutions, an’ ‘Y | azeure you that nothin; | Fell. Mr. Avery he cannot make Sheriff of Nor- | folk, because he is rot old enough—forgetting that | he is himself the youngest Governor that Massa- ohuretts has had for more than 200ycars. Onoman | is objectionable for this, and another for that, until eome venerable hurker, clothed in the moss of | ages, and who cut his eye-tecth 0n a piece of biscuit | brought over in the Mayflower, prefers his claim, and, like the worn-out, and broken do vn, and used- up veteran of “swoot Auburn,” has his claim | allowed. [+ is the commonest of complaints from | ! coalition democrats that they have no chance what- | | ever against the /cdris of hunkorism; and when ono of thoir number happens to get an appointment, he | is generally a very harmless eort of personage. | Free coil coalitionists do get some places, but it is the result of the wholosome fear with which their party hag inspired the Governor. Fear, one of the agest of the paccicus, is the only thing to which he admits allegiance. His E-xceiiency’s announcement that he should notagain bea can 6, has beon, contrary to what was supposed would be the case, attended with a very bad efiect. Whatever may be his Ex- ocllency’s faults, it is certainthat he is popular to a vory considerable extent. Among the slow and dull portions of the community, there is not a mom- ber of the demecratic party who could command so many votes. Hence it was that the hunkors | could do little against the coalition Jast fall; but now, they exultingly say, “outwell isno longer in the way, and our efforts can be made to tell.” | ‘Thore is much truth in what they say, and the Governor's conduct in announcing his intended withdrawal, has been and is severely censured by | aders, as meen and selfieh; and the le rejoicing in the woapon he era, their allies do not ees their cmpt for his conduc! is Lxcctlency thinks that the popul juired by eelling good weight and moa- | larly overy Sabbavh in church. pg to the emell deoone lito, is too procious a thing to bo reckless | the ce abotter stato of free soilere than b Nomination was n suppoeed, and Sow able tothe prine'ple other of eur publi to bring Gen ( $5. d, on the part of the mecracy, hes frig feoo eoilers.

On Saturday last, Jobn Fiennes Crampton, Esq, resented to the President the lotter of recall of Sir evry L. Bulwer, and hisewn oredentials of Euvoy Extraordinary avd Minister Plenipotentiary of ber Britanzio Majesty to this government. He made the following semarke on the occasion :— Mr Prxsipent:—It is with sentiments of pre- found respect that I place in your hands two letters bearing tho sigoature of the Queen, my sovereign— the one notifying the recall of Sir Henry Lytton Bulwer, who bas for some time resided with you as her Mojeaty’s Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary; the other accrediting me in that character to the governmont of the United States, in bis place. It is particularly grateful to me 20” to renew to you, sir, on the part of my august sove- reign, the assurance of ker Majesty’s cstcom and regard, and of bor hearty wishes for the prosperity of this republic. The cultivation and improvement of friet ip and good unde: between Great Britain and the United States form, I need ssaroo! say, the most important part of the duties which have now devolved upon mo; and # is, therefore, with extreme satisfaction that l advert to the fact, thet while at no formor period of thoir history has the subsistence of friendly relations between the two countries been of more Ayes pares 0 the inte- reste of both, soat no time these relations appeared to rest upon a firmer foundation than at resent. Consanguinity—a common intercet in a ong line of historical tiadition—a commen lan- guage—the joint inheritance of those enduring inonuments of literary genius, by which tho noblest fertiments and the wisest maxims aro stamped indelibly upon the minds of nations—a great simi- larity in the epirit of the Jaws, ani oven iu the forms of the administration of justice ia both countries— commercial relations of unequalled activity and extent-—and, above all, the commou pursuit of that gr wt political objcot to which the bust energies of oth nations seem ever to have beon steadily directed—1 mean the attaicment and proserva- tion of that temperate liberty whish goes hand in hand with duty; these, sir, constitute ties which Teannet persuade mycelt will be lightly broken. Their firm maintenance conduces to the present happiness and promives tho future prosperity of millions of our race; their violent disruption would beat once the most disastrous of possible events, Bnd constitate a epectacle the most lament- able and discouraging that could be presented to the world. If I may be permitted to allude to my pertonal feelings on this occasion, permit me to say, sir, that ro mark of the confidence or favor of my sovereign could be more entirely consonant to my withes than that with which I have now been ho- nored (am aware, indeed, that a selection might bave been made of a representative whose expe- rience ard abslities would have better fitted him for such atrust; but not of one more deeply sensi- ble of its importance and responsibility. If how: ever, | have reason to be difiident in regard to the qualifications which I bring to the task assigned to me, I bave still some ground for encouragement in @ recollection of the frauk and cordial nature of the relations which I have already bad the honor of | maintaining with the goverpmont of the United | Srates, and, let me add, with every class of its citi- While these demand wy respectful gratitude, they leave me little te desire, save a continuance of the same indulgence; and this, { cannot doubt, will bo | afforded to me by tho mewbers ofau administra- tion distinguished alike by a lovo of peaco, and by @ copstant exerciso of the principles of justice and good faith. ‘To which the Preaident replied as follows:— | Sin :-—I receive tho announcement of the recall of your predeceesor, and of your appointment, with mingled emotions of regret and satisfaction—with regret that one so much esteemed and so univer- sally admired as Sir Henry L. Bulwor is with- drawn from our political and social cirsles, but with entire satisfastion that his place is to be sup- plisd by a successor whose long rosidence amon, whose frank and manly bearing commands our confidence in advance, and gives the strongest as- surance that it is the desire of his government, as 1 know it is of this, to draw still more closely the bonds of friendship between our respective coun- trios. 1 reciprocate most cordially, to your august sovereign, tho sentiments of estecm and regard which, on her behalf, you have so kindly expressed. Our forms of governmont differ; but, as you have well said, we are kin- drod nations, acknowledging @ common ancestry, speaking a common language, and have a joint in- heritance in those endaring monuments of literary genius by which the noblest sentiments and wisest maxims—may I not add, of law and liberty—aro*| indolibly stamped upon the minds of nations. We, sir, have inberited from Great Britain the principles of Magna Charta, the trial by jury, and the habeas corpus; and while wo bope we have extended tho principles of liberty, I am free to admit that its erms are found in those great principles of the ritigh conatitution. Those bleesings are enjoyed ina higher degreo by tho subjects and citizons of our respective countries than by those of any other in the world. I trust that they may nover be ha- zarded by another conflict; and { am happy to shall be wanting on my | pas during the little time I may remain as the ead of the administration in this country, to maia- tain the moet cordial relations with your own.
