In fact, there were indications that the government would probably be ina minority, and would consequently heve but @ very short further tenure of power. Much would depend upon the voting of those gnembers classed moderate conservatives, and who, al- though holding conservative opinions, were free traders, and not pledged to the Derby government, although the Derbyites reckoned these members as likely to support ahem ; yet the liberals counted onan accession to their ranks from politicians of this shade, while the remnant of the Pee! party, Leaded by Sir James Graham, would most andoubtedly join the ranks of the liberal party, andin- ercase the numerical power of the opposition. That any aitempt to impore a tax upon the food of the people, will be successfully made in the new Parliament, is in the Jost degree improballe. Queen Victoria, Prinee Albert, and the Royal Court had embarked on board the roy team yacht Victoria and Albert, for a few days’ eruise to the westward.

There bas been a little excitement and alarm created in the public mind by a@ report that the plagne had made its appearance on the coasts of Spain, and was marching onwards. Since 1666 such a disease has not been known in England, nor indeed in Europe, except at Constantinople, and there does notscem to be any real eause for the fear which the report excited. The nomination of General Pierce, of New Hamp- shire, as the democratic eandidate for your next President, has kad a wonderful effect in inspiring confidence among the British capitalists. No one seems te entertain a doubt of his election in due time, especially since the propitious event of the no- mination of General Seott by the whigs. The eon- sequence has been an inereased demand on the stock exchange for American securities. The ac- eount of the death of Henry Clay has been received asa natural and expected event.

The attention of Europe is now concentrated on Switzerland, as it wasin 1847. The Federal Assom- bly, which has just opened its session, is called to decide upon the protestations of Fribourg and Neuf- chatel. At Fribourg, people are asking to have their liberty rendered to them and taken away from their own government; whilst at Nenfehatel the citizens are protecting their freedom against the in- yasion of the King of Prussia. The Neufchatelois assembled on the 6th inst, at Velengin, and the meeting, composed of 9,000 men, was very qniet, contrary to all expectation.

If Louis N cou were really Em- peror. no greater state and magnificence could be adopt- 0d to give éclat to hie progress through the department. The Moniteur of Paris publishes the most fulsome tele- graphie despatehes from various points of the route pass- ed by the President, stating that he was everywhere re eeived with the most joyous and enthusiastic acclame- dione, and reproducing the same styles of high-sounding phrases with which the official organ of the French go- ernment was formerly accustomed te chronicle the royal progresses of Charles the Tenth or Louis Philippe, not Jong before their fall. The President reached Strasbourg on the 18th ult., where extraordinary fies and illumina tions were prepared, and where a monster review and wham fight took place. He was to return to Paris on the ‘ist ult. A letter from Warsaw of the 12th ult. states that the eholera has made its appearance In that city, but in a mild form. The corn market at Mark lane, on the 19th instant, was dull, with a partial decline of one shilling per quar- ter for Englieh wheat; but generally speaking the sup- plies were cleared off at previous week's prices. Flour was perticularly dull of sale—the extreme heat of the weather hayirg greatly diminished consumption. Float- ing cargoce of wheat unchanged, but with an increased @emand for Indian corn. Oats 6d. per quarter lower. Beans and peas firmly held. The Mediterranean vessels, eo long detained by adverse winds, were arriving off the woast. The'reports of the growing crops were generally Saverable, and the weather was magnificent. In some jastances, blight and mildew had appeared in the wheat, and there were renewed reports of the potatoe disease in Ireland. In the money market there was no great ehange, and eapital was abundant, farther arrivals of gold from Aus- tralia having taken place. Railway shares and foreign bonds had declined a little from their previous high prices; but the English funds were pretty firm. In the Liverpool cotton market the demand continued ‘moderate=prices firmly maintained. Sales on the 19th, 5,000 bales, and on the 20th, 4,000 bales. ‘The accounts of the state of trade in the provinces show, on the whole, greater activity than might have been expected during the elections. At Manchester there ‘was no alteration, but at Birmingham increased orders had been received, while the iron trade manifested con- tinued firmness. The state of the woollen districts was satisfactory. and in the Irish linen market there was an iuppreved demand. Our London Correspondence. Lowpox, July 20, 1862. The Result of the Elections—The Gold Exvcitement-- The Presidency in the United States—The Riot in Irdand, &¢., c. The tory party, that is, the Derbyites, may now be said, virtually, to have triumphed in the elections hitherto, although nominally, eo far, they are in a gmall minority. The liberals swell their numbers by counting the Peolites among the opposition. Those Peelites are, as is well known, all of them, rank old tories, and they split from the old tory par- ty solely on the question of free trade and cheap bread. People flatter themselves by saying that these will remain as before, in opposition to minis- ters, and will never go over to them—will never de- gert the principles of tree trade, to join a pretection- ist government. Thisis,in fact, correct; hut though they will never go over to the protectionists, the latter have gone over to them, and have abandoned the principle of protection, so that it is now all one party, and this will give the tory mi 'y & major- ity—at allevents a much greater majority than Lord John Russell ever could henceforth commana among the mixed elements which constitute th opporition. Your readers have, doubtless, been much amu by the curious views taken, in France, of the B Mish elections. The French expected ni g short of a revolution, uch a general rising of the peo- ple, at the election, and they are quite at a loss to aecount for the pacific termination of this popular process. It is certain the French people could no have been let loose, in the same free manner. to ex prees their opinions, and give their votes, withou doing sdme deeperate ri jon.

The only talk of the day is relative to the journey of the President to Strasbourg, where he intends going on the 17th inst., to be present at the inauguration of the rail- way tothat city. Faithful to their h doubt, excited by the heat of the temperature, the inbabitants of Paris have expressed the wish to be present at this festival. Accordingly an innumera- ble number of letters have been directed to the Pre- sident of the railway company, and naturally, among them, there were a great number of ladies. What was to be done to avoid discontent and hatred? A strong decision, an opportune measure, appeared to be necessary, and it has been positively decided that no lady, without exception, should be admitted in the train of Louis Napoleon. has caused an indescribable scandal among the fair sex, and I dare say, made quite an uproar in the fashionable saloons of Pari Louis Napoleon has declared that he will receiveno | complimentary dinner, no cail from the authorities, | who had requested him to accept their offers. His cooks have been sent to Strasbourg from Paris, and | the maitres d’hotel will buy all the food necessary for his guests. Much enthusiasm is expected in the departments | of the Franche Comté and Alsace, and the news- | papers are already ‘hinting’ that troops of pea- | eante will rush to meet Louis Napoleon at several stations, carrying banners, flags, and led by musical bands, which will offer a gay and picturesque appearance. It is certain, nevertheless, that Louis Napoleon’s presence, as chief of the State in that eame city where he was himself arrested as a conspi- rator, will be one of those lessons of history which have been so often given to France during the last twenty years: and it is generally expected that the President will make an allusion to it in his speeches. It is supposed that Louis Napoleon will return on Sunday next or Monday morning, and will be pre- sent at the distribution of medals to the painters, sculptors, engravers and arehitects, which will take place on Tuesday. The grand tour of Louis Napoleon in the sonthern departments, which was doubtful, is now docided, and will take Pisce aiter the grand distribution of the eagles te the National Guard on the 15th of next month. The journey will be from Paris to Bor- deaux, thence to Angers, Montauban, Toulouse, Montpellicr, Nimes, Marseille and Lyons. Whilst these preparations are thus taking place, Leuis Napoleon is breathing the frosh air under the ehadowy trees of the palace of St. Cloud, and, ae- cording to certain rumors, enlarging his dominions by the purchase of different chateaux situated alon; the Seine. Despite these rumors, it has been wail | that the President had bought the mansion of * Montretous,” a magnificent village situated on the shore: of theriver, just by St. Cloud. This has been denicd hy the Moniteur, and the gossip makers have had a pied de nes. e Three decrees, which havea very important value, Were published on the 10th inst., a, which it is or- dered that an election for Mayors, Common Councils, and Aldermen, ofall the cities, villages, and hamlets of France, would take place from now till the end of September. This was decided, because amon; the mayors and other members of the municipal power, there were many whose political principles were of the worst kind. Asa matter of course, all those who are socialists and anti-Bonapartists will be removed, or at least every means to get rid of them will not be omitted by the government. This new measure has been received with much pleasure by the men of sense and honesty through- out France. : The nomination of the new Marshals, which were to be made on the 10th of May last, will, un- doubtedly, take place on the 15th of next month. The Generals who will be honored with this new dignity, will be Generals Schram, ue Castellan and leroy de St. Arnault, the present minister of war, General Magnan is also mentioned by some of his friends, but big choiee is not yet decided. ¢ National Medal, the new Order of Louis eon, which is now given to the gencrals of the army, has also been conferred by the President on Admirals Buudin de la Sasse and Parceval Deschene Nay for | —General Changarnicr— | , and, no | of by the paternal government of Empero It appears that the Sultan, or rather his g: were crushing these unfortunate people, and forcing them to pay enormons taxes of all sorts.

The Hot Weather--Extraordinary Swimming Feal-- Exhibition of Paintings—Grand Feéte--The Bridge across the Rhone—Lusus Nature--The Corn of Ancient Egupt Revived—The Operas, Theatres, §c. We are roasted and done brown! the heat is so intense, the temperature is so warm, that every- thing is dull—the men as well as the things. The | theatres are empty; the public gardens and prome- nades are filled with so many people, that I am in- duced to believe that the only place where fresh air could be had, would be on the roofs of the houses, if the slates were not too warm to lay upon. We are, it is said, in the sign of the Cancer, and thisis going to last till the 22d inst.; and, terrible to report, tho winds are such that no cloud can be formed to afford some rain to refresh our burned land. This uncom- | mon state of things, has caused many rumors to be epread, which are as foolish as they can be. Ac- cording to these rumors, the renowned astronomer, M. Arago, would have foretold the end, or rather the melting of the world, for Saturday next, at six o’clock P. M. Our planet is to becracked in several blocks, and a general cataclysm is to take place. There are many men—of a would-be reputation for good sense—who are the pedlars of these jokes, and who repeat them with the utmost gravity. These French Millerites have made their deeds—what for, since the earth will be arnihilated—and disposed of their Propers s and they are ready to be crushed to pieces. el], the only truc report of all this is, that we have had yesterday thirty-reven degrees of the centrigrade thermometer—and this is indeed too much, since there is not a singJe puff of wind or a breeze in the air. As a matter of course, balf of Paris have thrown their bodies in the river, and the bathing establish- ments situated on the Seine have attracted an innn- merable number of ladies and gentlemen, who aro taking the pleasures of plunging, smoking, cating and drinking, not to say intoxicating. If our large city is not favored with rain to re- fresh the air, several departments of the south of France have been visited with violent storms, which have caused much damage in the places where they have ocourred. Near Marseiille, on the 10th jnst., a terrible rain and hail tempest burst upon the city of Aursol, and eight persons were killed by lightning. AtLaugerte, near Montauban, depari- ment of farn and Garonne—at Mirsbel, St. Maurice, and Vinsobres, counties of the dopartment of Ar- déche—at Bergerac, Norgars in the Gers, 8t.

Thedistribution of these hational reeompenses is to take place on Pucsday next, 20th inst., in the grand gallery of the Louvre. A very interesting féte was celebrated on Monday Tast, at the market of the Blane Manteaux, where the bust of Louis Napoleon was inangurated by the the ‘ace procession of young girls, crowned with white roses, and all dressed in white attire, carrying Louis Napoleon’s likeness on their shoulders, entered the nearest church, and were | followed is more than two thousand people, and after mags had been celebrated, the Wi ranguiner of Poliee and Curate both made very effective apeeohes, and the whole company returned to the market, where a grand ball had bean organized, preceded by an excellent concert. The whole affair went off in a yery happy style. The women of the people behaved in avery igvified manner. The Fair of Beaucaire, which may be considored as the largest silk and grain market of Kuropo, hag ‘an, this year, under the most favorable auspiogs, and everything Toads to tho belief that the transac- tions will be made on a very large scale.

This bridge is considered as the most magnifivent work of the kind, and the loftiest ves- sels can pass under its arches with much ease. So many cases of bydrophobia have been ex rienced for the last two weeks, that the authorities of Paris have taken the most energetic measures to prevent more accidents. Every dog is to be muzzled, and furnished with a collar, upon which the name and residence of his master is to be engraved. Be- sides this precaution, no dog isallowed to wander in the streets of Paris without being held by a chain. It is hoped that with such precautions, the cases of hydropbobia will be limited. A woman of the class of merchants of Paris, gave borth, a few days ago, to a female child which was the most horrible phenomenon to behold. She had two regular foreheads, four eyes, two noses, two mouths, and one ebin. The poor being lived but a few hours, and was preserved for a thorough exami- nation. A man, of a very queer profession, was arrested ago near Versailles, in his house— rain of a very sinister appearanco— he used to dwell only a few hours during the 3 ue, Whilst he was always absent during the night. His neighhors had often remarked that he returned at night with a large bag, in whieh living things were seen moving, and from which ter- rible cries were heard. The fear entertained was £0 great, that it was thought on several ocea- sions that that man was stealing children. Aci i the police wae informed of the mysteri of that man, and a posse of four stars ar. rested him and searched his house, in which the; discovered half a dozen dead cats, ready to be sold to some eating houses where anjmals are dis- tributed to the amateurs of ‘‘Rabbit-stew ’ This felicides, as called by the Gazette des Tribunaux, will be punished for having committed an innume- rable number of mre on the cat tribe Letters received fom Cheschell, in Africa, have announced that the ancient seed of flour, grain and corn, Which was used during the time of the kings of ancient Egypt, the Pharaohs, have been sown in the garden of a farmer and produced several ears, which offered a new species entirely unknown to modern agriculture. 1t appears that these grains of cora, woich have been taken out ofa coffin from the Pyra- mids, offer the appearance of a large ear in the cen- tre, around which are six or seven smailer ears, like the branches of a tree. The length of the ear is ten or fifteen centimetres, and its size near the root three or four centimetres. The leaves are bearded and larger, as well as more rough, than those of the ordinary corn. Each ear contains from seventy to ninety grains. No doubt this new corn will soon be adopted all over Europe, for it produces three times the number of grains of the other kind of cora. Every in is big as two of the others. tof the same specie as th ria has been sent to the Museu of Natuyal History of Paris, where a special green- house will be built for its growth. “This new nim- plea is imported from Australia, and is composed of an enormous root, which is as big as the trunk of alarge oak. Jt will be remembered that the flower of the Regia Victoria is white, pink, and red; this newly discovered numphaa luces a flower of the purest © blue, aud as big asa melon. The yrancy of this flower is not very powerful, but it smells as sweet as the wild Next year, no doubt, the public will be admitted to admire this plant in full growth , As may be expected, the oSon, are not produc! theatres, with su much for their spe tators, and do not pay the expenses made for a nev play. At the Grand Opera, ‘Robert le Diable” and “La Jui have been produced with great ensem- fuoymard, the fine tenor, has made a deep sion on his hearers. The ‘Juif Errant,” he also continued his triumphant career, was jlayed last night, and though the house was wellfilled, the heat was so intense that the plaudits were dull. Nevertheles: ueymard, Tedesco, Mo- reli, La Grua, and Depatro, were received with great satisfaction by the whole audience. It is said that the opera of * Casilda,”’ the music of which is written by a Prince of Wurtemberg, is to be produced at the Academy of Musie. At the Gymnase theatre, M. Amidie Achard, one of the wittiest writers of the press, has produced two vaudevilles, which have been receivedwith the utmost applanse. The first is entitled “ Par les Fenétres,* (By the Windows,) and is in one act; the second is called ** Donnaut Donnaut,” (Give and I will Give,) and is in two acts. These two new farces are cleverly conceived, and may be con- tidered as far superior to the trash offered to the ublic for the last three years. At the National theatre, a military drama, founded on the novel of Walter Scott, “Old Mor- tality,” and entitled “Les Puritains d’Ecosse, or La Bataille de la Clyde,” by Paul Faval, was perform- ts on Saturday last, and received with marked ap- plause. At the Hyppodrome. M. Arnault, the manager, is coining money. He is now a millionaire, and will become, if he has no bad chances, the ,richest man of Paris.

The American Presidency and French Phi- losophy=The Military Volunteors ef the United States and France. ‘Translated from La Sitcle, of Paris, Jwy 10, 1852.) ho two principal candidates for the Presidency of the United States were, in 1848, General Taylor of the army,and Genoral Cass of the militia. In 1852, the two candidates proclaimed by the Con- ventions of Baltimore are General Pierce of the militia, and General Scott of the army, It will be, since 1829, date of tho first election of Jackson, the fifth time that the United States will carry a general to the federal residence. Is there in this tendency to entrust the first federal raRearaoy to any men having carried a sword or bearing it in their hand, symptom of a change of direction in the mind ofthe North Americans? This is a question which merits to be seriously examined. The Presidency was instituted, in the United States, in 1787 ; the first who was invested with it in 1759—the entire universe knows his name, and will never forgetit—was George Washington. As Cap- tain, afterwards major in tho militia, it was against France. in the Canadian war, and under English domination, that the future deliverer of American made his military apprenticeship. Nominated chief leader of the insurrectionary army in 1775, he re- mitted, ten years after, into the hands of Congress his commission of generalissimo, after having dis- banded the army, who wished to mako a king of him. What made Washington great among the atest was not his military genius: it was his complete forgetfulness of himeelf in the face of the country. He was, if it is permitted to so express it, the impersonal hero of the liberty and the rights of man. One resolution, which had been often ro- proached to him, puts in all its light, ali the disin- terestedness and virtue he had at the bottom of his great heart. We allude to the celebrated declara- tion of 1798, by which the United States shut them- | selves in neutrality, in the presence of the war of | principles which broke out in Europe. | France, who bad so powerfully contributed to | the establishment of the American independence, entered into a struggle against all combined kings. The United States could easily congregate the army which had vanquished the Howes, (he Clintons, the Burgoynes, the Cornwalisee—they could, with their | navy, already so redoubtable in its cradle, have aided | our fleets to conquer those of England What an | occasion for a man moved by the ambition of a | great personal glory! The temptation crossed the | soul of Washington; it did not stop in it. He | knew that arms were uncertain, and that, in «pite | of the alliance of the United States, the just causo of France could he vanquished upon the fields of battle. He wanted, thon. at the price of an apparent ingrativude, that North America should bave | time to ge offer to the democracy and re- | eation of our own law which was to have beon en pedlic, fk penctrable —: afterwards an avenger, if an avenger should be necessary im the future. It is, no doubt, beautiful to know how to oppor- tunely renounce power, as Washington did in 3797, to teach his country this truth, that if a people wish to preserve their liberty untouched, they must not obey too long the seme man ; that a meaif he ‘wants to preserve his virlue, must not leave it too long exposed to the intoxication given by the exer- cise of public power; but perhaps it is yet more beautiful to avert an occasion of present glory, and to face the reproach of ingratitude or pustilanimity, 40 reach an aim which will reveal itself only in the future and after bis death. Jolin Adama, the successor of Washington to the Presidency, did not understand the thougnts of that reat man. During his administration, which asted four years, he only saw in the neutrality in which the United States shut themselves, but the means of brim, ing them nearer to England, in giv- ing to their fost tutions an aristocratic tendency. The two Presidencies of tho skilful Jefferson, from 1801 to 1809, were entirely occupied in striving ainst that tendency, so dangerous that in sub mitting to the insults of the right of visit and of the impreesment of sailors, the Americans gained enermous sums by the maritime commerce of which she had beoome tho gecerel agent. Jefferson, nevertheless, succeeded in throwing under Ameriea the unshaken basis upon which the demo- cracy ws proud; for it should not be believed that AT who have sneceeded the federal party, are partisans of the aristocratic principle— all is democracy in the United States, and the dis- agreement of pees consists only in the manner of drawing out of the principle certain secondary con- sequences. ‘+ was from 1809, under the Presidency of Madi- gon, the most complete statesman ever produced in Northern America, that the United States began to show what they intended one to become. Madison could not, nevertheless, obtain, daring the first term of his Presidency, that his fellow citizens armed themselves seine the insolence, increasin; from day to day, of England. The love ef gold ha obliterzted the sentiment of national dignity in the Americans. That sentiment rose up again, in 1513, and every one knows what were the results of that war, crowned by the suecoss obtained, in 1816, by Jackson, over the English before New Orleans, as if Providence had been delighted in placing in a late Sreneh colony, that brightest revenge of the democracy against the old goveraments which were triumphant on this side of the Atlantic. Monree, nominated Colonel on the battle field by Washington during the great war of the indepen- dence, sneceeded Madison in 1814. It was Monroe who made, in 1821, that declaration, written now-a- days in the heart of all Americans, to wit: that the Americans wouldnot suffer that the European States should create now colonies upen the’ American con- tinent. It was under the Presidency of Monroe that General Jackson took possession (without an o} of the government) of Florida, which the United States have only retained by a treaty made with Ferdinand VI; it was, in fine, during that cele- brated Presidency that the Congress acknowledged the independence of the Spanish colouies. In 1525 there was a pause in the policy of the United States. John Quincy Adams, son of the Adams who had occupied the Presidency from 1797 to 1801, was clected President. But the de- mocratie principle took again, in 1829, its impetu- ous ¢ Jackson was elected. The whig party had wished to found its power upon money, and, in order to dominate the credit of the Union entirely, it had established the United States Bank. Tho on of Jackson was to break off that institution, ancial domination beiag that which is directed » lesser honorable passions. Every one knows at energy the conqueror of Florida dis- charged the mission, in interposing thrice the Previ- dential veto. Jackson, on withdrawing, had re- commended to his successor, Martin Van Buren, to accomplish the annexation of Texas. Wither by his hesitation, or because the hour had not arrived, it was given to Captain Tyler, successor to Genoral Harrison, to prepare the expedition directed after- wards by President Polk, with a vigor which in two years exhausted the sources of his life The events of the Mexican war are so well known tous that it is not necessary to repeat them. The enthusiasm which they had excited brought, in 1849, the election of Zachary Taylor, the hero of } Buena Vista, where 4,000 ‘Amer vanquished fi it produees, to day, ce and Scott. After that, it would be very wrong to say that the Ame- ricans of the North are not sensible to the glory of arms; but it is also right to remark that the Ame- ricans have combiaed, in such a manner, the organi- zation of their military power, that it doesnot rule the civil power. Their army is composed of but 16,000 soldiers. The nomination of all the officers of that army is submitted to the Senate. Such is the very small centre around which, in case of war, rally regiments of volunteers, which soon equalize the troops of the government, in the regularity of manomnvres, and, perhaps surpuss them in abi for shooting: for the Amoricans havo understood that in order to be strong ia entertaining but a permanent and smullarmy, it is necessary that every citi: ted with the exercises ofsoldiers Gen. Pie in the militia, is a go mand one division—prob United Stales hold, in reterence to their neighbors, a position which permits them, under their mili- tary aspect, privileges which prudence denies to the great Enropean States. It appears to us, however, evident that it would be possible to study with much more benefit than it has done, the military institu- tions of Northern America At the outset of our immortal revolution, of 1789, France had only an army of the line less than 200,000 men, and though the emigration had broken it, in some part, by the withdrawal of numerous officers, that army was suf- ficient to form the nucleus of the gigantic forces 0} posed by the republic to the foreign invasion. Of that army, less by half than that which is now pos- sessed by France, since the system of armed peace, a crowd of good generals, anda number of the great men of war, arose on the battle field. The Bonapartes, Desaix, Dumouriez, Massenas, Monceys, Dugommiers, Davoust, Macdonalds, Las- salles, Monte Bruns, Richepanses, were oflicers before 1720. Do you wish to count as belonging to the army of the line, Hoche and Lefebvre, babarian they had been sergeants in the French guards; Soult and Championnet, because they wero lieutenants—we do not know in what regiment; Pichegru, because he was cergeant of tho artillery of marine; Ney and Murat, because they were quarter masters, one of the hussars the other of the drageons? We will not make any difficulty. There is nothing morenatural thon that, inthe time of war, tho permanent army aces the firet and most distinguished officers. hat remains to be seen, is whether our battalions of volunteers have not given their contingent of military capacities? Morcau was, when thirty years old, a lawyer and prorat of law at Rennes; Saint Cyr—whom Napo- leon had proclaimed the first of our generals in the defensive war—was a painter; Brune who had saved France by the battle of Castricum, (in Holland), conquered Switzerland and succeeded Bonaparte inthe command ‘of the army of Italy, was, when thirty years old, a literary man, anda printer. Joubert, who excited the admiration even of Bonaparte himself, in forcing the defiles of the Tyrol—Joubert, whose loss was more sensible to France than the loss of the battle of Novi—was a yolunteer from the department of L’Ain. And the Lobeaux, with the Gerards, and many ‘others whose death did not leave them time to make them- selves illustrious, did not they come from the bat- tallions of volunteers? Lannes, son of a poor cou: tryman, of Lectoure, himself a workman dyer at Auch, did he not enter with precipitation as a volunteer, in the career in which he greatly increa- sed hisfamo at every battle, when the cannon of Essling came to roll him in a grave under the dome ot the Invalide? What France has done onee, should not she be able to do again, to the great profit of her finances, and without avy damage te her military power? In the case of the United States there is another argument, in addition to the general reasons, that the army ofthe line and the military power are not on? and the same thing The Americans love the glory of arms—perhaps they like conquest even too much, as Mexico will furnish, in » short future, a new proof; but to that desire for war, natural ina young people who need some expansion, they do not consecrate money only—much money—but a great technical science; they devote, by the militia, the heads, and when it is necessary, the arms of citizens who do not belong to the military profession. They have Cass near Yaylor, Pierco near Scott; and wo believe, farthermore, that there is, in that, an oxam- ple to study, especially at a moment in which, by the almost certain election of General Pioree, the democratic candidate, the United States will feel disposed to claim a part in the policy of Burope—of that Europe who is also their mother. The Extradition Case of Thomas Kalne ta an English Potnt of Views [From the London Times, July 14.) Although Lord Malmesbury saw reason to with- draw the bill which had been brought into Parliament tu give force and effect to the convention lately concluded with France for the mutual surrender of criminals, there can be no doubt that, in the pre- sent state of the relations of this country with the continent, it is extremely desirabl that some legal means should exist of following criminal fugitives beyond the limits of cur territorial jurisdiction. It, as there is geome Tengon to apprehend, the French government were to denounce and put an end to the cxisting treaty, on the ground that it has proved ineufficrent to secure the arrest and surrender of French criminals in Mngiv we should soon fiad the inconvenience of this proceeding, on both sides of the Channel; for these conventions operate n more by deterring criminals from geckiny, a reling in countrios where they will not be barhored chna hy actual surrender of their persons = But the new Clnvebtcn Woueuued wilh France, amd the modtti- fted it, certainly appeared to go beyond ¢ necessity of the case, aud might have Cie to serious abuses. Our attention is reealled to this subject by the circumstance that France is not the only country with which we have enterod into cugagenente. 66 this nature. The 10th article of Lord Avkburton’s treaty between Great Britain and the United States of America established similar engagements, which have now been in force for ten years; and at this very time arase has arisen under this treaty whieh excites considerable attention iu the State of New York. An [rishman named Thomas Kaine, who had effected his escape to Aicrica, was claimed by the British Consul on 2 charge of assault with in- tent tecommit murder, aud was accord: are rested and brought up before the United States” Commissioner in New York. The treaty required that a surrender shall only take place ** upon suck evidence of criminali*y as, according to the laws of the place where the fugilive or person so charge® shall be found, would justify his apprehension and commitment for trial u the crime or offence had beer there committed.”’ It, therefore, o3 necessary to make out before the American magistrate = prima facie case of guilt. against the person and Mr Commissiover Bridgham seems, on this occas sion, to have taken a very full and- fair view of his powers and dut' The crime of Which Kaine ig accused, is, that he wilfully fired ae ataman named James Balfe, in tho county of Westmeath in Treland, and inflicted a severe wound on his side. A warrant for the apprehension of Kaine was issued by a magistrate for the county, and placed in tha hands of the same police-coustable who has followed the culprit to America. ‘This man was able also to act asa witness, having previously known > whom he identified, and having seen Balfe, the wounded man, the e day on ‘which he was shot, and when he gave information of the crime. Ar attempt was made by counsel on behalf of the pri- soner to raise tresh legal difficulties by req proof of the authenticity of the warrant, bat tl int was overruled ; and Mr. Commissioner Bridg- 1m, having considered this evidence, very properly announced that he should,report thease for com= wittal to the Sccretary of State, by whom the war- rant of surrender must be definitively issued. The Irish inhabitants of New York, with charac teristic indifference to legal obligations, especially towards their native country, Sxpresiod ayaa excite- ment and irritation at this decision. The crime of which Thomas Kaine i. d, was @ foul and stealthy attempt by oue Insh peasant to murder an- othér Irish peasant, ia cold blood, with no direct rovocation, and after the assassin had approached fis victim with a prayer-book in his hand. By an extraordinary piece of good fortune the wound in- flicted by the pistol, was not mortal, though mark were found in the man’s side, a bullet and 27 shots. But the cause of the quarre in one of those evic- tions or tranefers of land which appear to render the Trish peasantry cupablo of every atrovity,even to euch other, when p the of agrarian vengeance has gotten possession of their minds, It was after aconversation about some land of which a mar named Stone had recently been dispossessed, that: the murderous assault was made. No doubt the } escape of Kaine was, as usual, facilitated by the country people of Westmeath; no doubt he was. re= eeived by his countrymen in America, not asa crimi+ nal flying from justice, but rather as a victim of o ression. Had it not been for the firmness of the Inited States Commissioner in New York the Trish mob showed @ strong disp. into their own hands, and resist the surrender of Kaine; but the ease was established beyond the pos- sibility of legal doubt, aud Mr. Bridgham displayed a Jaudable regolution to enforce the provisions of the treaty and the law without auy infringement on tha just rights of persona! liberty The provisions of the Convention of 1843, which is still in force between this country and France, are extremely similar to t ofthe treaty which we had then recently concluded with the United States. Both these couventions require that the warrant of surrender should be supported by evidence sufficient co obtain committal for trial in the country in which tho fogitive is found. It is obviously much easier to produco in England such evidence of crimes committed in France, than it is to convey such evidence, as in this instance, from England or Ireland to the United States 5 and considering the very extensive powers of re- manding prisoners for further evidence which aro habitually exercised by our own magistrates, we can seo no insurmountable difficulty to the completo exceution ofthe existing C ntion in all cases that fairly require it. [tis obvious that the an- cient notion of asylums {vr the protection of guilt, which converted the most holy places into sanc- tuaries for crime, and fortresses against the admin- istration of justice, is inconsistent with a sound view of public duty and interes’. All nations have a common interest incausing the laws which punish murder and robbery, to be executed, and it would be absurd toplead for neu whom every country is more concerned to expel trom its bosom. But we have an equal interest in ng that the law is not strained, even to € he capture, or to punish the offences, of the worst delinquents; and for this reason it is prudent to req proof at every stave of criminal procedure, e ilty when the arrest is ¢fieeted in one eountry, aud the trial to he condueted by the laws of another ” The Conditio (From the London T The Mexican republic ap reached the last stage of debility and embarrass-- ment which consistent with the existence of » State—if, indeed, a Stato can be said to oxist at all without financial resources, without a Legislature, without the power of protecting its frontiers or of governing its ple.

In_his last message to the Legislative body, the President declared that nothing seemed to remain for them but ‘‘to fulfil the last and saddest mission of man upon earth—the burial of their country.” Yet in spite of this appeal, the Assembly ed the extraordinary powers which the urgent necessities of the State certainly en- titled the government to ask for; and after m session of tour months, in which nothing had been done, the Legislature adjourned itself on the 2lst_of May, sine die, without having voted the supplies, and without providing in any way for the conduct of public affairs.

For this pu o had been sent to the outports of Vera Cruz and Ma- zatlan, to hold in hand ail the sums received for cus- tom house duties; the compliance of these ports with orders from the central government was, however, doubtful. At Vera Cruz flour had already been Wa oy in at reduced dutics, and at Tampico the tariff of the United States was likely to be establish- ed.

In the province ofSonora, a party of French adventurers aro making head, having been driven out of the State of Califor~ nia. In Lower California an outbreak is said to have occurred, instigated by some of the wild- er spirits of San Francisco. In the Southern pro- vinces the name of Santa Aana is still popular, and it is not improbable that a revolution or a coup d'etat for the proclamation of the dictatorship of Arista in the capital would be followed by a pro- nunciamento in favor of some other chief in other ae of the country. The government of tho nited States is pecs for its right of way across the isthmus of ‘Tehuantepec, although this conces- sion conflicts with the Garay Say already made by the Mexican government. At Acapulco a quar- rel has taken place with the Consul of the United States, which has ended by the committal of that ‘unctionary to jail, “in fall uniform, with his flag in his hand.” “The French Minister is engaged in a diplomatic warfare with the government on ac- ‘ount of seme duties which he asserts have been an- duly remitted to the British bondbold.re. The army has, of course, fallen into « state of confusion and’ disaffection, which redaces it far below the condition in which it stood during the late war with the United States, and, indeed, renders it inca- able of defending the internal litical authority of the government. The end of a sy: un of republican in- stitutions utterly unsuited to the character ofthe peo- ple has been a total cessation of the most o1 ‘and essential functions of government; and we are witnessing the unexampled spectacle of a people of goven or eight millions, inhabiting a magnificent territory, in full possession of political independence, who once formed the finest part of the colonial em= pire of Spain, but who have now sunk to a depth of anarchy, at which their cxistence as a nation and even the ties of society are alinost abolished and dissolved. We can recall no case of so rapid and total a political ruin. Hardly a quarter of a centw has elapsed since these provinces threw off their al- legiance to Spain; and, however, corrupt tho Spanish administration in her colonies may have become, it is searcely possible to doubt, that the emancipation of these possessions has proved a far ~ greater calamity to themselves than to the mother country. There is at this time as much difference wetweon Cuba and Mexico; ae there is between Caba and Doyti; and the loss of legal authority is driving both those countries into a state of barbarism, in which the abuse of liberty i¢ only followed by the usurpations of military adventurers or eontempti- sble tyrunts.
